Radeon goes to Leon, "Brother, are you alright…" as Radeon walks in the room softly. Radeon asks softly giving him a drink, "knowing he had children and a wife, he should have surrendered, I would have spared his life!!" Leon said in a straightforward manner. "Some people just don't listen, Leon…" Radeon said as he took a deep breath, then there is a moment of silence between the two brothers…as Leon's back is towards Radeon, both staring out of the balcony of the bedroom, as Leon catches his breath from frustration, "His children… bowed to me today as their new king… not knowing he died today in battle…at my hand…." The king said to Radeon, looking down at his hands, in a serious tone of voice. Radeon sighed. "You have a lot to learn, Leon…as King…. This happens in war…. Sacrifices are made" Radeon said softly. "losses happen, that is people's choices, not ours, Leon. As a King you need to take your authority. People make that choice, and this is the consequences of their actions in war…remember that…. " Radeon said sternly but softly, patting his brother on the back. "we will head back to our kingdom tomorrow. You won your first battle today as king, well done, brother…" Radeon said softly looking behind at Leon, then walks off softly. "Yeah…" Leon replied softly. Not knowing, that the King Ural's oldest daughter was just outside the balcony overhearing their conversation. As the king had his back turned to the balcony, suddenly the oldest daughter of En-Ved jumped at him, with a dagger in her hand, charged at the king ready to kill him, he turned around, caught her hands, she screams trying to kill him, holding her hands, looks into her saddened eyes full of hate towards him, suddenly the former queen comes running to the room, sees the king holding her daughter's hands, with a dagger in her hands, her heart drops, knowing an action like that will lead to the death penalty of her daughter, "Delta!!" the former queen yelled, trying to pull her daughter away from the king, "He killed him, mother!" she cried.
the former queen was silent, "You knew?! You knew?! Traitor!" the daughter yelled, as the king still held her, as she struggled to get lose, not to stab anyone. Suddenly the former queen slapped her daughter. Suddenly, the king held her from behind, made her smell a substance, which put her to sleep suddenly. "Do not worry, she is not dead, just put her out to it for a while" the king said holding the daughter in his arms softly. "Your majesty…" the former queen said softly. "She is angry…. I understand…" the king said softly, looking at Delta in his arms, looking at the daughter of his enemy. "She is really beautiful. She could use her passion in the army or protecting her family…" the king told the former queen in a stern yet almost admiring way. "majesty?." The former queen said confused, bowed her head and took her daughter with her, as Leon gave her daughter back to her. "Where I come from, we treat women as equals as men, the men treat their women with love and respect, your highness. Do not fear for your daughter's life. "the king said softly. The former queen teared up, knowing that the new king had shown them mercy. "Thank you, your majesty" the former queen motioned and bowed showing him respect and left the room to attend to her daughter, closing the room of the king to allow him to rest. Leon then went to look outside the balcony to make sure there were no more assassins, looking around about him, there were not many guards around, "explains a lot" Leon thought to himself regarding the security was not very tight in this kingdom. The king took a deep breath, "this is going to be a long night, isn't it?" he said to himself, as he closed the doors to the balcony and locked the doors so no one would come in, as he took a bath, washing his skin with goat milk soap provided by the queen's servants. Meanwhile, Radeon was in his room on the other side of the palace from Leon, writing in his diary of Leon's first victory as King. Radeon's plan was to write the chronicles of Leon as King and give to the scribes to record in the books of the history of the kings of Achalarah, knowing that they were now part of history. "Let's see what type of King you turn out to be, Leon…" Radeon thought to himself in a serious yet stern tone of manner, being advisor to Leon for the last six months, since his ordination and anointing as King by the former King before his passing. When Radeon thought about his father, Radeon's whole demeanour grew dim, thinking about his father, as he and Leon were very close with their father, however, their father spent more time with the eldest, being Radeon, than with Leon, as Leon was more with his mother growing up, due to the fact that their father, King Lucas, spent more time with Radeon, however due to this, Leon learnt the arts and education of running a country from the finest in the kingdom, their father and the old ancient retired advisors to the king. Radeon sighs when he thinks about everything that has happened until this moment, "maybe this is why you let him to himself, father… so he could learn how to be a king…." Radeon said within himself sadly, overlooking the kingdom of Brogan from his bedroom balcony, as he slept in the tallest tower, which made it hard for assassins to climb up in. The next day, Leon, Radeon and his men return to their kingdom of Acahalarah, but before they did, "I am leaving you in charge of proceedings from here, lord Proto, being the son of a prince yourself, you surely understand the governance of a kingdom…" Leon instructed with authority in his voice, yet soft stern tone of voice, in the king's thrown room round table, as Leon was their new king, however he made lord Proto a governor in place to keep things in order and be submitted to the king, to ensure taxes are collected and the kingdom restored economically under King Leon. While at this meeting, the other kings from neighboring countries visited to settle debts of the kingdom of Brogan, seeing now that Leon was the now conquered king in place of En-Ved. "My lords, thank you for coming to settle matters with me today, seeing I now own 'Brogan,' Leon said to the kings of the neighboring countries in a soft and respectful tone of voice, referring to the fact that he was now the new king of the kingdom of Brogan, which now formed part of Leon's empire. "Your Majesty, it is an honour and a pleasure to be in your presence, congratulations on being crowned king, in place of your father, King Lucas, he surely was a man of honor, who is worthy of our respect….." the neighbouring kings complimented and said in respect to Leon because of who his farther was, and respecting the fact that Leon was now the crowned King of both Brogan and Acalarah. "Thank you my lords, I am most honoured by your words, please come…." Leon bowed and motioned softly for them to join him at the king's round table in the throne room, with him and Radeon and the former queen in their presence to settle debts caused by the former king, En-Ved. Radeon, Leon and the kings discussed the debts and all came to an agreement to settle payments of debts with each nation. When Leon and Radeon heard the figures as to how much this guy got deep in debt the nation, "What??? What did he purchase in order to bring a whole nation in debt, why did he borrow so much money?" Radeon grunted in surprise and frustration," when suddenly, Leon grabbed Radeon's hand and pulled him close while in the presence of the kings, "Radeon, we will pay these debts and get the receipts. I will pay these debts in full to make good relationships with these kings and form an alliance with them…." Leon re assured his brother sternly yet softy, "Trust me…." Leon said, at that, Radeon shook his head in agreement, both brothers sitting back down to talk with the kings, "my lords, I will pay these debts in full the moment I get back to Acalarah, it will take us 3 days to get back to our kingdom, please send your ambassadors to my kingdom in a week's time and we will arrange for all debts of the kingdom of Brogan to be paid in full and issue both of us receipts, confirming payment of all debts…" Leon said in an authoritive tone of voice, re affirming he meant what he said, "Your Majesty, we are a little hesitant, as you would understand…." The kings responded in doubt, not knowing if they would be paid all they owed, "I guarantee you my lords, if you do not believe me, you may accompany me and my host of men back to my kingdom and we will pay you the moment we arrive back at our kingdom, I leave the decision to you to make…." Leon said looking sternly at them, not to be intimidated by them but to show them that he meant business and he meant what he said, looking from left to right, across the room at the kings, looking into their eyes, as there is a moment of silence between all kings and the former queen. "Alright, your Majesty, one week….and we will send our ambassadors to your kingdom for payment of our debts…." Said one of the kings shaking his head in agreement with Leon in a positive manner, "thank you my lord, you will not be disappointed…" Leon smiled softly at the kings and they all agreed, and as a custom was back in them days, the kings would give each other a diamond or a piece of gold to symbolize their friendship and token of their oaths to pay, to which, Leon did both, giving a diamond and a piece of gold to each king to symbolize his friendship with each king and to symbolize that he would keep his oath to pay them the debts they were owed.
