Arthur managed to return to the palace later on, with Alexander's body on his horse. This came as a shock to everyone who welcomed him, as they didn't believe the king could die so quickly. And if at that, that he could die at a faraway land.
The news of King Alexander's death had spread in the whole palace like wildfire. Bad news sure spreads fast. While some were sad about his death, many were happy about it, especially the slaves whom he had punished in one way or the other during his tenure as king. Some however, were not moved in anyway about it, because they believed Hunter was the crowned prince and to them, he was no different from his father.
