Hours later, at the party in the center of the city of Camelot.
Arthur, holding a glass of wine, stood next to Qin-Shi, Persival, Lancelot, Windsor, Ryu, Collen, and Jarvis. – We're leaving early tomorrow. It will be a very long trip... – he said, feeling his mother's intense gaze.
[No wine, son! It is not good for a king to drink wine, and for a ruler to want strong drinks! Remember your father.] Queen Andromeda exclaimed, looking at him while Princess Odyssey spoke to her.
"I'm immune to alcohol... Even if Alfred doesn't nullify the effect of the wine, I'm a titan, human drinks do not harm me." Arthur sighed to himself.
Ryu took a sip and smiled. – To take a city without at least a week of reign... – he continued to speak.
The elders chatted as they observed their surroundings.
Hera, Alexia and Selena stood next to Eleanor, Morgan, Emma, Astrid, Mey, Ambrose, Phoenix, watching at Arthur.
Princess Allana, looking at them, puffed her cheek. – Why don't you stop staring at my brother? – she mumbled.
Hera, her face red with embarrassment, responded. – What are you talking about, Allana? I was just looking around... – she laughed nervously.
Eleanor, laughing with her hand on her forehead, asked. – Really, Hera? Looking around? – she finished laughing.
Selena, with a glass of wine in her hand, smiled. – I'm definitely looking... – she exclaimed, biting her lips as she gazed at Arthur.
Princess Morgan, looking at Selena, sighed. – What a mother... – she scoffed, eyeing Selena up and down.
Somewhere in the party, a soldier pointed to the king. – There's the king...
A white elf, with purple eyes, smiling, whispered. – Thank you... – as she admired the king.
The soldier, looking at the woman, blushed. "She is so beautiful... Our king is really blessed, better keep my eyes out of problem..." said to himself.
At the center of the party, Arthur was talking to the seven.
Queen Andromeda and Odyssey Aesir approached him. – King Arthur...
He looked at them and smiled. – Mother, Headmistress. – he greeted.
Princess Odyssey smiling at Arthur, said. – You know you don't need to call me headmistress, don't you? I'm your great-aunt... – crossed her arms.
Arthur smiled. – Force of habit...
Queen Andromeda, looking at Arthur, said. – I admired what you did today for the people, especially the Amazons... – with a motherly look.
Arthur's face turned cold and indifferent. – It was to show that we are all equal, a political strategy... – he responded.
Queen Andromeda and Odyssey exchanged glances, surprised by the change in his countenance.
The elf with purple eyes ran towards Arthur, shouting. – ARTHUR!!! – her soft voice, her long bouncing black hair, her black dress and her graceful steps caught everyone's attention.
Arthur looked at the woman, smiling. – Is she the one you asked me to have brought? – the queen asked.
– But I'd like to know why you asked me to get her... – the queen continued, exchanging glances with Odyssey.
Hera, Allana, Selena, Alexia, Maya, the princesses, the nobles, elders and everyone else looked at the woman.
Hera looking at the woman, raised an eyebrow. – Who is she...?
The woman ran and placed her hands on the king's face, kissing him.
Arthur, surprised, with her hands on his face and her lips on his, looked at her. "This is...!!!" his mind blanked out of surprise.
Everyone at the party fell silent, wanting to understand what was happening.
Emperor Qin, looking at the two speechlessly, thought. "But who is this hottie?! And how come this monster has all the beautiful women?! – envious thoughts invading his consciousness.
Queen Andromeda, with a mixture of astonishment and worry, froze. – WHAT?! – she exclaimed, not believing what she was seeing.
Hera, her sea-blue resplendent eyes on the two, with veins showing her jealousy and anger, said. – What tha...?!
Selena, looking up and down at Merlin, thought. "You...!"
Elder Darkblood, with a vein on her face, sighed. "Of course, one more woman..." she muttered to herself.
It was a shock to everyone, no one imagined that this could happen, especially with the ice king, a king with an unattainable heart.
The king, surprised, pushed the woman away. – Merlin! What are you doing?! – he exclaimed, looking at everyone.
Queen Andromeda covered her mouth. "What was I thinking?! Who is this woman for him to ask for...?!" she thought. "My God..." she whispered, looking at the two of them.
Merlin Vallenar, the former queen of Alfmosis, wrapped her arms around Arthur's waist, speaking in the Alfmosis tongue. – You forgot me there for months... – she grumbled.
Arthur, his face red with embarrassment, replied. – If you're here, it's because I haven't forgotten, don't you think? – he tried to remove her hands from his waist.
Looking at the two of them, Queen Andromeda cleared her throat. – What language is that? – she asked, looking at Odyssey.
Odyssey, amazed at Merlin, asked. – Wasn't Hera his girlfriend? Who is this girl...?
Hera, her arms crossed, face red, and brow furrowed characterized the mood of the most beautiful woman in the world of the living. – Arthur!!! – she grunted.
Arthur, feeling Hera's fury, exclaimed in Merlin's tongue. – Don't even think about answering in Latin! – he looked embarrassedly at the queen and spoke. – It is the language of Alfmosis. She doesn't speak Latin very well...
He extended his arm to the queen and said in Merlin's language. – Merlin, this is my mother...
Merlin, with a bright smile, waved to the queen. – Hello mother, it's a pleasure to meet my mother-in-law... – she said excitedly in her language, hugging and kissing the queen's cheek.
Queen Andromeda, smiling in embarrassment, thought. "This girl is very clingy..." – She's very outgoing... – she whispered.
Hera, furious, approached Arthur.
Eleanor, seeing Hera walk towards Arthur, tried to hold her hand. – Hera!!! – she exclaimed in an admonishing tone.
– Where are you going, Hera?! – Selena asked, looking at her.
