Chapter 43 - Chapter 11 - The Myth [2]

Asu continent, Murim... 

 Toq, Tristan's base... 

 Outside the gates...

- The man (looks at Emma, smiles): How are you, Emma?

- Emma, Neythiri, Mey, Astrid, Colen, and Jarvis (rush to hug him)

- Arwen (arms crossed, sighs): Is that Arthur...?

- Rohan Miletus (next to Arwen, laughing): Calm down buddy, look at the captain... (looks at her): She doesn't seem very happy with his presence...

- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at Arthur, arms crossed) "Is that really him?"

- Ryu (looking at Arthur, sees his appearance, his face, his body, laughs): Did you make it?

- Darlan and the others (looking at Arthur)

- Arthur Treadway (looking at them all, then looks at the burning base behind him): Does that answer?

- The Creed of Shadows and the Soldiers (kneel): Lord Ultimate!

- Darlan (rolls his eyes, squeaks): That is English mythology, who guarantees that you are the Ultimate Lord? You look like a vulgar person... (laughing)

- Princess Hera Olympus (standing near Arthur, watching the discussion) "He is clearly different..."

- Ryu (looks at Darlan, takes out his sword): Look here, more respect! You can lose your tongue!

- Arthur Treadway (puts his hand on Ryu's shoulder, smiles): Calm down Ryu, it's okay... I understand that you don't believe that, but I believe you're interested in ending the war, right? So believe that the war will end. (looking at Darlan)

- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at Arthur, puts her hand on her chin) "That's not Arthur..."

- Rohan Miletus (resting his sword on his shoulder, looks at Arwen, raising his eyebrows): You still have a chance, look how she's looking at him...

- Arwen (head down, looks at Arthur): He doesn't even look like he's only 19 years old, he's handsome, tall, must be super strong, he has the aura of a King, I understand why she likes him... (looks at Hera)

- Rohan Miletus (pushes Arwen): Don't be a little baby, try... (goes in the direction of the exit)

Hours later...

 Meeting room...

- Princess Hera Olympus (sitting next to Arthur) "We spent hours answering Arthur's questions, but he didn't answer none of ours convincingly, he made it clear that he is not here to answer anything, and Darlan ended up getting angry..."

- Darlan (sitting, looking at Arthur): How did you get to that base?

- Arthur Treadway (seated, looking at Darlan): As I said, I fell there, after being teleported by my butler. I fell in the middle of the base, and was attacked from all sides...

- Darlan (looking at Arthur, grunts): Who are you? Your full name, what did you come here for?!

- Mey (sitting, looking at the two of them): Hey, Darlan, why so many questions? (stands up)

- Darlan (full of veins on his face, stands up): I'm the head of this base, and I am owed an explanation.

- Arthur Treadway (sighs): Stay calm... I'm Arthur Henry Treadway, son of the late King Heinrich and Queen Andromeda. I've come to finish what I started, but now I'd better go back to the island before the queen knows I'm here...

- Darlan (looks at Arthur surprised): What?! Are you the Queen's son?! I thought her son had died when they ran away twelve years ago...

- Arthur Treadway (looks at the Creed of shadows, and the others in the room): How did you not know?

- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at Arthur, sighs): When you decided to leave your mother blamed herself and out of sadness, decreed that everyone is forbidden of mentioning your name either inside or outside the palace, and from then on people began to accept Allana has her only daughter, your name, began to be forgotten because it caused her a lot of pain...

- Arthur Treadway (sighs): I see, I imagine you're the captain of the base, send a message to the emperor of Jianghu and tell him we're going back to the island...

- Darlan, Colen and some soldiers (laughing): And you know the emperor of Murim?

- Arthur Treadway (smiles) "Who do you think put him on that throne?!": Say that Arthur Yuwen is waiting for you...

Minutes later...

 Meeting room...

- Everyone except Arthur and Hera (leave the room)

- Princess Hera Olympus (biting her lips, head down, hands clenching her uniform): Arthur, hi...

- Arthur Treadway (looks at her): I missed you... (notices her nervousness)

- Princess Hera Olympus (tears in her eyes, hugs Arthur): I missed you so much... (crying)

- Arthur Treadway (hugging her, laughs): Still in the habit of crying?

- Princess Hera Olympus (taps Arthur's shoulder, wipes away her tears): Something got into my eyes you fool... I thought you weren't you, you're very different...

- Arthur Treadway (runs his hand over her head, smiles): I hope different is good...

The base's yard...

- Arwen, Rohan, Luana, Argos and some soldiers (sitting by the campfire)

- Rohan Miletus (sitting, looking at Arwen): Don't worry dog, I'm going to get revenge! Since this guy got here, he's been distracting everyone...

- Arthur and Hera (talking, leave the meeting tent)

- Arwen, Luana and Argos (looking at Rohan): Where are you going?! Come back here!

- Rohan Miletus (stops in front of Arthur, smiles): How are you? I'm Rohan Miletus, maybe you know me, I'm very famous... (Arthur and Hera looking at him without reaction)

- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at Rohan, no facial expression): What do you want, Rohan? Go do something!

- Rohan Miletus (smiling): I want to make a proposal to our handsome guy here, a duel between two swordsmen, to see who is the best, Lord Arthur or Lord Rohan... (opens his arms): Do you accept? "If you don't accept you will be seen as the weakling that you already are, but if you accept, you will lose and show that I'm stronger than the royal family's only son! Perfect!"

- Princess Hera Olympus (surprised, looking at him): Rohan! (looks at Arthur): Arthur, I'm sorry, I have to be stricter with my soldiers, the commanders already told me...

- Everyone in the courtyard (looks at the three, murmurs): Did he challenge the new guy?

- Arthur Treadway (looks at Hera, smiles) "It's a great opportunity to see what's the average skill of the soldiers, the sad is that I already know that this creature is a pathetic fool...": No problem... (looks at Rohan): All right Rolon, I accept your challenge...

- Rohan (looks at Arthur with veins on his face): It's Rohan, not Rolon!!

- Princess Hera Treadway (holds Arthur's hand, looks at him): Go easy on him, don't break anything on his body, he's a good soldier...

- Argos (surprised) "Don't break what?!": What did the captain say? Depart?!

- Rohan Miletus (annoyed, starts to stretch) "Let's finish this with one strike!": It's not me you have to worry about captain...

- Everyone in the courtyard (they come closer, make a circle around the two, murmur): Who'll win...?

- Some soldiers (around, seeing the two): Definitely Rohan, he's one of the strongest soldiers if not the strongest in this base!

- Another soldier (in the middle of the soldiers): But this other one looks pretty strong, I'm going to bet two silver coins on him...

- Darlan (approaches, stops next to Hera, Luana, Arwen and Luana): I'm sure Rohan will win, he's the best soldier...

- Princess Hera Olympus (sighs) "Rohan might die...": You already forgot what I'm saying for the past two years?!...

- Arwen (looking at Arthur, suspicious): He's strange, I can't feel his Qi, he doesn't seem to have a core. One thing is him hiding his aura and cultivation level, but another is not sensing his Qi at all...

- Princess Hera Olympus (sighs, runs her hand over her face, looks at Arwen): That might be one of the reasons I think he's weird. Now, he may be so strong that we don't know how strong he is anymore...

- Ryu, Jarvis, Colen, Orion, Emma, Neythiri, Mey and Astrid (approaching, see the agglomeration): WHAT'S THE FUSS?!

- Everyone (concentrated in Arthur and Rohan and completely ignore the commanders)

- Princess Hera Olympus (looks at Ryu, sighs): Rohan challenged Arthur, and he accepted...

- Commander Neythiri (looking at Arthur) "I want to see this..."

- Commander Ryu (trying to stop the fight, Orion holds him)

- Commander Orion (looking at Ryu) [Don't be a fool! Look at that kid's face, does it seem that he is someone that would play around?]

- Commander Mey (looking at Arthur, smiles): He's planning something... 

- Arthur Treadway (looking at Rohan) "Wait, am I trying to fight my mother's soldier?!": I don't think this is a good idea, I still don't know how to use my Qi accurately... "I didn't have the time to meditate, cultivate and adapt to my current body, I might kill this idiot by mistake..."

- Rohan Miletus (laughing, stretches): Captain, your golden boyfriend is scared...

- Arwen (looking at Arthur): He doesn't have a core...

- Princess Hera Olympus (worried): Arthur! It's better not...

- Darlan (smiles, arms crossed): I knew he was a spoiled wimp...
