The Legendary Emperor King

On Eurus continent, Arthur rode through the vast desert of Alfmosis towards Athens. – We haven't slept for a week. I'm glad Maximus can also handle all this! But it's not like I'm in love, or is it...? – he mused, gazing at the horizon.

Maximus, as Maximus galloped through the desert with Arthur on his back, thought "You're sure to be in love..."

…

On the same day, in the province of the gods, in Athens's city, the High Priest of Light at the Temple of Light's headquarters received a report about the recent to journey to the United Kingdom...

The priests and officers of the Temple, sat with their heads bowed, listening intently to the High Priest. – I can't believe you bore the son of the late King Heinrich... – he said, running his hand over his veiny face as he sat at the end of the table in the Temple's meeting room.

The cardinals and priests at the table look at Pietra waiting for her answer. 

Cardinal Meridius, seated next to the high priest, sighed. – Master, I don't believe Miss Pietra has done anything wrong... 

The High priest grunted as he looked at Pietra. – I know my daughter! Can't you wipe that fake smile off your face and be genuine?! – he demanded, noticing her smile.

Archbishop Pietra Decimus stood before the council of the Temple, looking at his father with a faint smile. – Father, I didn't do anything! He simply disrespected me, you, the officers and our God!

Cardinal Meridius looked at the High Priest. – In fact, that happened! He doesn't have the slightest respect for us..." he exclaimed, immediately remembering Arthur's warning.

One of the cardinals frowned and looked at the high priest. – How are we going to anoint someone who doesn't even respect us?! 

The high priest looked at Pietra. – I gave you a very easy and simple task! I thought that because you were young like him, you would understand each other quickly, but no! You not only insulted him and as if that were not enough, you refused to anoint someone that the Light has already chosen! He said, his voice trembling.

– Don't you fear God?! If what Meridius said is true, then it is very likely that he has the King's Force, but my daughter upset him... – said the High Priest with a sigh, leaning back against his chair, and putting his hand on his chest. –Oh! Light, forgive the foolishness of this girl...

Cardinal Meridius, looking at the High Priest with a smile, tried to calm the old man. – My lord, don't get upset about this matter. He's just a young man sitting on a throne. He's not even of age yet. He's going to change his mind...

The High Priest looked at Meridius. – Let's hope he changes his thinking, otherwise it's the end of us..." he said, his hand on his head and his breath failed.

Archbishop Pietra Decimus, looking at the High Priest, opened her eyes with a smile. "This old man worries too much..." she said to herself.

She was the adopted daughter of the High Priest Lucius Decimus, the leader of the Temple of Light. This religion emerged at the time of the great King Pendragon, during the first empire. With the fall of the empire, the church separated from the Treadways and became official as one of the several religions in the world. More money began to enter the coffers, from offerings and sacrifices, and with the various states. That is why Lord Arthur was upset, due to the corruption of the Temple. He was not angry at the Temple itself, but at the corrupt...

…

On the balcony of the queen in the amazons' royal palace. Wearing a tunic, the queen held a glass of water in her hand as she looked at the refugees around the palace. "I miss us so much, Heinrich..." she thought.

…

Ten years before King Heinrich's death, on the beach of Camelot...

King Uther, Arthur's grandfather, talking to a royal guard, pointed to the beach, where Heinrich was. – Go and call him, tell him that his fiancée is waiting for him at the palace! – hee exclaimed, with a commanding aura emanating around him and a beard and gray hair that showed his experience and strength.

The royal guard approached the waters. –Prince! Prince Heinrich..." he called, running towards the prince, in a silver armor.

Prince Heinrich shirtless, was on the sand entering the waters of the beach. – I'm going right away! – he said.

Minutes later, he came out of the waters, and saw a crying woman sitting, walking towards her, he said. "Beautiful eyes like that shouldn't draw tears..." and sat next to her.

Andromeda Themyscira, crying, tried to wipe away her tears. – Eyes like this didn't deserve to live what they did..." she said with a trembling voice, looking at Heinrich. Queen Cassandra, her mother, had just sent her away, and she had nowhere to go.

Sitting next to the girl, with his eyes fixed on her, Heinrich said. – I bet there's no big enough reason to make you're little heart suffer... – his eyes sparkled with admiration.

Andromeda Themyscira looked out to the sea. –You don't know me... You don't know my pains! –Sighed.

– It would be better to die... – she took a deep breath.

Prince Heinrich looked at the sea with a smile. – And the people who love you, how will they be after you die? – He asked, his gaze returning to her face.

Crying, Andromeda said. – If you want to increase my pain, you're succeeding... Who are the people you know who love me? - she sobbed, looking at Heinrich.

Looking at the woman, he reached out his hand to wipe away her tears, while looking at her soft face. – The Light loved you so much that he sent me here, just to put a comma in your story... – he whispered, running his hand over her face.

With a red face, she smiled unintentionally and looked at Heinrich. – Who are you? – she asked, with a flushed face, looking away and moving his hand away from her face.

"He was always very good with words, an authentic smooth talker. I don't know why Arthur is not as delicate as his father was, Arthur is a cold brute..." Andromeda reflected.

Prince Heinrich, smiled. – I don't care, what matters is who you are from today on... – he said, leaning towards her.

Hiding her laughter, she said. – Is that what you say to every woman...? – she pushed away the strands of hair that blocked her view.

– Does the smiling crybaby have a name? – Heinrich asked, putting his hand on her chin and turning her face towards him.

Looking at him with her amber eyes, Andromeda said. – Andromeda, what about the man that the Light sent? – she whispered with her eyes shining with curiosity.

– I don't have a name... – seeing her reaction, he chuckled.

Chuckling, Andromeda said. – What do you mean by you don't have a name, that's unfair ... – she grumbled, her face red.

"Our love was in the air. We were happy 'forever'. From this union, our little boy Arthur was born, and Allana, the headache. We had something perfect, a beautiful love. I was completely in love with him, and he with me, that's what I thought at least, but this 'forever', lasted only nine years..." Andromeda thought about the past while looking at what they could experience.

…

Queen Andromeda, wiping away her tears, whispered. – Why did you do this to me? Why did you had to take my husband... ?! – with her eyes filling with sadness.

She covered her face. – Why did you leave me here alone, Heinrich... – she said, sobbing.

In the refugee camp, Princess Allana was giving food to the refugees when she saw the queen on her balcony. – MUMMY!!! – she called, waving brightly.

From her balcony, Andromeda looked at Allana, and reached out her hand in shame. – That girl... – she grumbled as she waved with a motherly smile.

Some refugees, packing their things, looked at the palace. – Look, it's the queen! – screaming in disbelief, they looked at the queen as if looking at their savior.

Everyone stood up and with smiles waved to the queen.

On his balcony, waved with tears in her eyes. – Hello... – she whispered, knowing they didn't hear her.

Butler, next to the queen, with his hands behind his back. – See, ma'am? The Light has not abandoned your majesty! Don't blame Him for what happened, just look at what He has given and what He will still give. – He exclaimed, with a sigh that carried the weight of wisdom.

She looked at Butler with a smile. – You're right... – she whispered, noticing Butler next to her, frightened threw the cup to his face. – Kyaaaaaah!! Where did you come from?!

Butler with a sigh, crouched. – I'm sorry for scaring you, ma'am! I'll be more careful next time... – he declared, picking up the branches of the glass.

Queen Andromeda, looking at Butler, said. – I'm sorry, Butler...

The butler, leaving, smiled. – It's all right, my queen! Lord Arthur has done worse...

Queen Andromeda laughed. I imagine! Is everything ready for us to leave?! – she asked looking at him.

He looked at the queen. – Just a few details, we'll be gone in a few weeks... – he said, bowing and then leaved the room.
