In the training room of the Chamberlain mansion.
Alexia, trembling with fear due to Arthur's kill intent, knelt on the floor. – Please don't get upset. I didn't mean to offend, I didn't know that the king still didn't know about – her voice trembled, as did her entire body, and her face turned red.
Arthur, stood up, and headed to the exit. – Get up, Alexia! – he ordered, his face full of veins.
Alexia raised her head and stood up. – Your majesty... – she sighed.
…
Meeting room.
As the king entered, the guards bowed. – Your majesty...
The king, with veins on his face, looked at everyone at the table with red eyes, showing that it was not he alone, but the fury of the Spirit of Justice was within him.
Prince Persival, the elders Ashura, Chamberlain, Glayder, Blake, Trent, Sato, Yukimura, Heimdall, Darkblood, some dukes, marquises and lords, and Arthur's trusted men were sitting, arguing among themselves, oblivious to the king's presence.
Elder Glayder, looking at Persival with his arms crossed, spoke. – Being king is not to about going around killing and giving orders like a bandit! Being king is about having a throne to sit on, a palace to reside in. But we have a minor on the throne, he doesn't even have a beard, he isn't even married... – he sighed, running his hand over his white beard.
Elder Blake, next to Glayder, shook his head. – In fact, these are... – he began but was interrupted.
Arthur, walking towards the table, stopped before them. – It's good to know your honest opinion, elder Glayder. – he said. His voice, although calm, was like thunder, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Elder Glayder looked at Arthur, and immediately stood up. – My king... – he exclaimed, crouching down.
Everyone at the table stood up and bowed before Arthur. – King Arthur! – they exclaimed.
Arthur sighed and walked towards the windows. – I'm going to the military camp. It is possible that I will die in the coming battle, or you will die, it doesn't matter. Death is a truth that haunts us all and we all know it. I'm going to fight for those big bellies of yours... – he said, with his hands in his pockets, looking out the window, giving his back to everyone.
Lancelot Chamberlain looking at the king, asked. – If I may, what is your majesty, talking about?
Prince Persival Treadway, not understanding anything, looked at Windsor.
Elder Glayder stood up, looking at Arthur. – My king, about what I said... – he began his request for forgiveness, but the king held out his hand, silencing him.
Arthur looked at the old man. – You're right. You all have the dishonor of serving a child... – he sighed, walking towards him.
Elder Glayder looking at the king with trembling hands, swallowed hard. – Your Eminence...
Behind the elder's chair, Arthur leaned into his ear. – Get ready, because you're going to die! – he confirmed, looking into his eyes, revealing the red eyes, a look never seen by a human being before. – By tomorrow morning, no one with the surname Glayder will have survived!
Elder Heilla, looking at Arthur, saw the smile and the red eyes but couldn't hear what Arthur thought. "My God, that's... His gaze is much more intense than last time..."
Elder Ashura, sweating as he saw Arthur's intense kill intent concentrated in his eyes, thought. "A human doesn't have that level of dominance..."
Glayder, trembling as he saw in Arthur's eyes what would happen at that night, fell to the ground. – Please sovereign, don't do that...
Arthur ignored him, just left the room with his hands in his pockets.
Lancelot rushed to help Elder Glayder. – Elder John... – he said, placing his hand on the old man's wrist.
Elder Glayder slapped Lancelot's hand away. – Let go of me, you Saint! Stay away from me! – he ordered, looking around. – I need to get out of here! – he said, leaving the room, drunk with fear.
Everyone exchanged astonished glances. – What happened here...?! – they murmured among themselves.
Prince Persival, looking at them all, sighed. – We are going to suspend today's meeting. We'll continue next week! – he said, running his hand over his face.
…
Arthur, in the garden, walked towards the exit of the mansion.
Lancelot and Persival running to catch up with the king. – Your Majesty, please wait...
Queen Andromeda, Odyssey, Hera, Alexia, Selena, Ambrose, Phoenix, Thalia, and Morgan looked at the three of them.
Ambrose Ashura looking at the king, sighed. – His posture, he seems to be very upset...
Queen Andromeda, looking at Arthur, asked, already sensing the bloodlust. – What happened this time...
Odyssey, smiling, remarked. – The best question is who else he's going to kill this time... – she laughed.
Thalia, focused on Arthur, didn't hear the women's words. – He's so handsome... Even more when he is angry... – she thought.
"It's the first time to see him since he returned. I have to enjoy these rare moments... – Hera thought, looking at Arthur with a flushed face.
With her head down, Alexia avoided eye contact with everyone. – I think I know what's going to happen... – she said, swallowing hard.
Andromeda, crossing her arms, looked at her. – What did you do? – she questioned with a vein on her face.
Alexia noticed everyone looking at her. She shrank in shame and fear of the queen's reaction.
With a nervous smile, she said. – I told him that the Glayder family is responsible for the death of the late King Heinrich...
Queen Andromeda, Odyssey, Selena, Morgan, Ambrose and Phoenix slapped their foreheads.
Even her mother wasn't happy with her big mouth. – Then he's going to kill the whole Glayder family because of you. – Odyssey said, a vein bulging on her face. – Do you have any idea what you did?"
Alexia, with her head down. – E-Ehmm... I-I'm s-sorry...
With veins on her face, the queen stood up. – I'm going to the military camp. I want to see how the Amazons and the general are doing... I also need to forget what you did. – she exclaimed, removing her gaze from Alexia.
Looking at Arthur, she then averted her eyes to Thalia. – I still don't understand why she's here... – Hera thought. – Elenaris, why are you here...? – she asked.
– I'm here to serve the king, too bad there's no room for more. – Thalia teased, looking at the king with a faint smile.
Looking at her, Hera's face turned red. "I can't believe it! You... You...! AHH!!" she thought. – It's good to see that you talk now. Anyway, you're right, but why bother with servants? It's like they say, after the meal comes dessert... – she responded, looking at Arthur.
Thalia looked at Hera with a vein in her face. "Am I a dessert...? Well played, you win this time..." she thought, smiling.
Merlin Vallenar, seeing Arthur, ran towards him. Wearing a tight gray dress revealing her body, she hugged him. – Arthur... – she said in her language, putting her hands on his cheeks and trying to kiss him.
With her long black hair on his face, Arthur pushed her face away with his right hand. – Not now, Merlin! It's not a good time! – he exclaimed, continuing to walk.
Prince Persival exchanged glances with Lancelot. [I think we already know who our queen will be...]
Hera, seeing Merlin and Arthur embracing, grunted. – I'll go with you, queen...
Looking at the king and Merlin with a vein on her face, Alexia sighed. "I don't want to watch this..." she thought. – I'm going too...
…
Minutes later, outside the city, at the military camp.
Gubong, in a blue uniform, stopped in the center of the camp. – Soldiers, beware! Amazons, attention! – he shouted, drawing everyone's attention.
The whole army stopped its activities and looked at him.
The commanders, captains, and Amazon warriors looked at Gubong.
All eyes were on the captain, such a call was not common. Normally, only the general and the commanders did that, but was strange for a captain. He was earning some points in the king's eyes.
General Cassilda, leaving the meeting tent, looked annoyed at Gubong. – What happened?! – she questioned with a frown.
Gubong, crouching, pointed to the entrance of the camp. – I present to you the king, the queen, and the princesses of the kingdom! – he exclaimed aloud.
