Chapter 5 - Forgottεn | Room

"What do you mean you still can't find her!" A guard with the steaming standard of a general came walking into the king's throne room. "King Athen, although we couldn't find her, we have found a clue. One that you aren't going to like. She found the Dragon Council. An armor store owner has stated he saw a girl with the same description as the princess; she had walked out with a man the same description as the one we have thought to be the second in charge for the Dragon Council." King Athen feels risky, as his daughter has seemed to join the Dragon council or has at least made a deal with the dragon council. King Athen had done things he had tried to hide; it seems he couldn't control his daughter Erini. King Athen becomes exposed. Yet, what is this thing that he would "Expose." Since that day, King Athen had made his decision, despite what his father-in-law had taught him. King Athen had spent his whole life in his dictatorship, scared of people going to assassinate him when he least expected it, that things might happen, something that might not happen. But because of time, he finally sees what his father-in-law had told him, "I've seen that it's fear that's the real enemy."

A clock in the Forgotten Room strikes with a sound to reveal midnight. Men, along with two women, walked into the room. The smell of smoke could be said to be dragged in along with a confident mysterious man, an unfamiliar relative. A bad association takes place, peculiar happenings. The king with his velvet cloak falling beside his chair. As others begin to sit down in their seats. The King's sizeable blue crystal eyes look up through the fire-lit room.

"You can understand why I've called you here today," King Athen said with much-growing anger only being fueled. "I've made plans for the princess Erini to be handed to Prince Hawskley, the next heir to the throne of Glanford. The princess seems to have made a deal or has known about the Dragon Council. But then again, I thought getting rid of her would be able to move this kingdom along."

"Well, you never listened to us; you made this room. The 'Princess' never did well with rules. After all, when spending your whole life in the ruins of a castle, I can speak for all of us when I say I would've run away as well."

"Oh, shut it, Lord Valkyrie. A lady should obey their father."

"Well, how would you know anything about being a Lady, Dair. I mean; Sweetheart, you kill people for fun-"

"Will you take this seriously! This is the manners of children. We are tyrants who rule with an iron fist. The right way to rule. For control and nothing more than power." At that, everyone turned to the man in the long black over the mysterious man who smelled of burning wood and smoke; once again declared with a grating voice, emphasizing his words continued, "If the Princess finds out who she truly is, our entire alliance. Our entire Forgotten Alliance will return to the grave as if it had never existed." Once everything calmed down, the King asked a very vital question. "If she found out who she indeed is with the help of the Dragon Council, what shall she do to gain power?"
