Lord Akirbus, Lord Dagen, Lord Balrus and Lord Angun also famously known as "the four", came to organize themselves inside the carriage making their way back to the palace from the arena. The most famous King's speech was given and it was up to the people to decide whether it was worth to be remembered or it didn't live to King Luca Arteides's worth. However, it turns out no one would ever remember Artemis's speech but his impromptu decision to point out Lord Balon as his hand of the king and ignore "the four".
The caravan made its way back to the palace and the good folks of Maldonia escorted their King by marching in the streets in groups. They raised their voices in unison, "Long live the King."
"I think we should speak to our King and make sure he makes the best decision. He's young and..." Lord Akirbus said, he paused and then whispered. "Stupid! Young and stupid. Never in the history of our kingdom has it even been a Hand of the King who isn't Maldonian!"
