Hours later...
Treadway's mansion...
- Persival Treadway (in front of the entrance gate, gets close to one of the guards)
- Neytiri (looking around, squeaks) "Tsk! Is this the mansion? The rusty gates, the unkempt garden, a house in need of maintenance...?"
- Astrid (looking at Orion): Thank you for carrying my things...
- Orion (trying to carry some bags): Uhumm, yes... D-Don't worry... (struggling, full of veins, trying to carry the suitcases) "What's on these bags..."
- Tristan Ashura (next to Arthur, excited): This is your home Arthur, you are the true patriarch...
- Arthur Treadway (full of veins, looks at Tristan): I've already let you come with me, now don't abuse or I'll kill you!
Inside the Treadway mansion...
- Two rows of handmaidens, and others at the top of the stairs (crouching, in service clothes): Welcome back, master Treadway.
Eurus Continent...
United Kingdom, Province of London...
Capital, Treadway mansion...
- Persival Treadway (excited, grabs Arthur's arm, and pulls him): Feel free, you can go back to work! This is your inheritance my cousin, all this is yours... (the servants return to work)
- Mysterious woman (walking in their direction, in a silver dress): Persival, it's been so long! How long do these trips of yours take?
- Persival Treadway (excited, puts his hands on the woman's shoulders): Sister, I want to introduce you to someone...
- Persival Treadway (looks at a young man near the stairs): Come too, Galahad! (the young man approaches)
- Persival Treadway (looks at the group): Sister and Galahad, these are the Creed of Shadows...
- Mysterious woman and Galahad (bow): It is an honor to meet brave and famous men and women like you...
- Persival Treadway (animated): This is my sister Morgan and my friend Galahad, Baron of Trent, and this is my cousin... (looks at Morgan, excited): Our cousin, Arthur...
- Galahad Trent (surprised, gets close to Tristan Ashura): It's an honor to meet you, I've been following you since the supreme championship, I've seen all the fights, I knew it was you, I can see that you've changed a lot in the last year... (hugs Tristan Ashura)
- Jarvis, Callen, Orion, Emma, Astrid, and Mei (laughing)
- Persival Treadway (embarrassed, smiles): Ga-Galahad, it's not that one, it's this one... (points to Arthur)
- Galahad Trent (lets go of Tristan, constrained): I apologize...
- Morgan Treadway (cheerful, looks at Arthur): Is that true?
- Arthur Treadway (expressionless, stares at Morgan) "Is she my cousin? Beautiful..."
- Morgan Treadway (excited, hugs Arthur, starts crying): Forgive me, but I remember when you were little, now you're all grown up. I missed you, Queen Andromeda, King Heinrich... (tries to wipe away her tears)
- Arthur Treadway (stoic face): It's a pleasure...
- Galahad Trent (looks at Arthur, gets on his knees): Please, master, tell us that you have come back to free our people. To take the throne, to take us out of the hands of these foreigners...
- Arthur Treadway (sighs, helps Galahad to his feet): Not yet, that's not why I'm here...
- Ryu (crosses his arms) "Idiot!"
- Persival Treadway (animated): Master, this is your home! There's room for everyone! Take hot baths, and get ready for dinner, my dear sister is an excellent cook... (looks at Morgan)
- Morgan Treadway (surprise): Oh yes, make yourself comfortable! I'll cook dinner myself! Relax...
End of the afternoon...
Protoss Island, royal palace...
Garden...
- Hera Olympus (sitting on a sheet, eating a cake, indignant): I've always wanted to know what England is like, how things work there...
- Princess Allana Treadway (sitting on a sheet, eating, looking at the two of them)
- Princess Alexia Aesir (sitting on a cloth, swallows, looks at Hera) trying to speak Latin: It's a very dangerous place, worse for women... (sighs) "How difficult..."
- Hera Olympus (eyes open and full of amazement, looks at Alexia): What do you mean? Why dangerous?
- Princess Alexia Aesir (releases a soft smile) trying to speak Latin: It was dominated by Indrathan's, it is a very abominable place, full of prostitution, thieves, psychopaths. Last time I went, I was on a mission, we couldn't leave the base...
- Hera Olympus (with her hand on her chin): So serious? What was it like before...?
- Princess Alexia Aesir (serves a cake to Allana): It was a peaceful kingdom, I remember when I lived in King Heinrich's palace, it was very good. The cakes that sister, that is, Queen Andromeda. She made some very delicious cakes, we all loved the queen, the king, the baby prince Art. Everyone was good, the sunsets on those islands were so beautiful... (the sigh carries the warmth of memories)
Later...
Eurus Continent, United Kingdom...
Capital, Treadway's mansion...
Dining room...
- Neythiri (looking around): But what a difference, outside the house looks run-down, but inside, everything is so clean and beautiful... (eats)
- Morgan Treadway (looks at Neytiri, smiles): It's so as not to attract the attention of King Aca. We stopped taking care of the exterior of the mansion. As this is the largest mansion in the kingdom, the king would want to take this mansion, but as it appears to be degraded, he left us alone, and I do not leave the house, the streets are dangerous for women, and so as not to have the misfortune of being chosen by the king...
- Callen (sighs, rubs his hands): After a hot shower, nothing is more pleasant than a hot meal...
- Arthur Treadway (sitting at the end of the table, thoughtful, eating): Did you have to put me in this place?
- Morgan Treadway (sitting, smiling with a red face): That's your rightful place, patriarch...
- Tristan Ashura (hands on chin): I think it's best to keep this information to us. As of this moment, Arthur's presence must be confidential... (clears throat)
- Mei (smiles, looks at Arthur): It's true, let this stay between us until the situation with King Aca is resolved, somehow...
- Lancelot Chamberlain (looks at Arthur): I've been talking to Tristan, and he said you've been on the run from the king's assassins for almost 10 years, isn't that tiring? Don't you want to put a stop to it?
- Arthur Treadway (thoughtful, looks at Lancelot) "Tristan is an idiot, tongue bigger than his mouth!": I never thought of him as a problem, but I need to do something. I still don't have the conditions to deal with them, not now...
- Arthur Treadway (looks at Persival): What is the regime in force now?
- Persival Treadway (sighs): Honestly, as I know you are not familiar with our customs, I will start from scratch. Father Pendragon, instituted the council of elders, formed by 12 men entrusted to him, the first being the elder, the patriarch of the Ashura house, the second, Glayder; the third, Blake; the fourth, Trent; the fifth, Chamberlain; the sixth, Sato; the seventh, Jang; the eighth, Yukimura; the ninth, Jing; the tenth, Darkblood; the eleventh, Takashi; the twelfth, Heimdall. There were and there are more than 100 houses, but these 12 are the main ones, the ones that were part of the council, the Treadway house is the house of the kings, the most prestigious and powerful, it was...
- Morgan Treadway (sighs): Until...
