Arthur was smiling while he was fighting. His eyes showed no weakness. Hela couldn't help to ask.
" Why are you doing this? Why don't you give up?"
Arthur said with calmness.
" If I die here, nobody will guard the earth. My team will be divided. I want to avoid seeing that. The enemies will destroy my home."
Hela said indifference.
" All lives come to end. You can't protect them forever."
Arthur said with a bright smile.
" You are right, but I will guide them to the bright way."
Hela remembered her past. She said same. She hoped to build a great country with force until Odin gave up on her. He imprisoned her here.
Arthur saw Hela's nostalgia. Her eyes were same like Odin. Arthur could tell she had Thor's power and Loki's mind. However, her tyranny was her reason to be here.
" You are a hopeless man, but I will let you go."
Hela put down her hand. Arthur looked at her with puzzlement. He couldn't figure out the situation. He said with curiosity.
" Why?"
Hela took a look at him. She didn't understand herself either.
" I don't know."
Arthur pointed to his house.
" Please come in."
Hela came to his house. The inside was pretty good. After all, Helheim doesn't have dust like other places. Arthur sat down the chair.
" So tell me, why did he imprison you?"
Hela sat down.
" Because I wanted to continue his journey. Odin gave up his goal. I just wanted to continue that."
Arthur nodded calmly. He felt Hela was similar to Thor in some ways.
" You are a good general, but not a king."
Hela raised her head. Her gaze was trying to look through him.
" Why?"
Arthur said calmly.
" A Good leader must balance the war and peace. We pursue the ultimate peace. Balancing others and creating a perfect harmony is the key for a good leader."
Hela thought deeply. She agreed to Arthur's statement.
" Then what should I do?"
Arthur smiled.
" Create a country that everyone loves you. Hatred will destroy your rule, while adore is a chain that can connect others."
Hela didn't say anything. She said one sentence.
" It seems I have mistaken."
Hela got up from her seat. She went to the door and looked back at Arthur.
" I will come again."
Arthur grinned.
" Sure."
Another 10 years have passed. Hela came to Arthur's house every day. She had talked about various topics about ruling a country. She even took notes sometimes.

Arthur looked at the door. He saw Hela. Unlike before, Hela has changed. Her madness was disappeared, and she was becoming a good leader. Her black hair was tied neatly, and she wore her iconic clothes.
" Arthur, do I look good today? You said image is a big factor."
Arthur nodded.
" You have to look good."
Hela nodded. She sat down carefully while looking at Arthur. Arthur had taught her a lot of lessons. She was grateful and happy. Her loneliness and madness was dissapeared when he was here. In fact, Hela wanted to stay like this. She was tired of being schemer and betrayer. Her hatred is still here, but not like before. Arthur's lesson had taught that it was useless to hate.
Arthur said clearly.
" Hela, I have something to say."
Hela looked at Arthur. Suddenly, a bright light appeared. Hela knew this light. She shouted.
" No!"
Arthur smiled.
" My time has come. Hela, don't forget your lessons. You can't hate someone forever. Be yourself and walk forward. Don't chase after Odin's footsteps."
Hela roared.
" Arthur, please don't leave me. I am lonely. Please help me to build a good country. I will forgive them."
Arthur shook his head.
" I have a place to protect."
Hela shouted hysterically.
" You liar! You said that you would stay with me forever."
Pssh*
Arthur had disappeared completely. Hela helplessly hugged herself. Her eyes lost its light.
She clenched her fists.
" Arthur, I will find you. Odin, you stole my happiness once again. I will reclaim my land."
In the Asgard.
Thor looked at Arthur with a worried look. Heimdall said that Arthur was in danger. Thor saved Arthur from the terrifying ice. Thankfully, Arthur is still alive.
