Chapter 86: Chapter 11 - Promises and Nightmares!
Still in the beach in Rivendell.
Hera looked at Arthur with astonishment in her eyes. – What do you mean you try? Who has tried it? – she questioned.
Arthur, running his hand over his face. – A young elder offered herself to marry me, another elder offered his daughter, Windsor offered his daughters. – he said, looking down at the sunset.
"Even Windsor?!" Hera sighed, lowering her head. – There are already four wives... – she said in a melancholy tone.
Arthur looked at her. – Hera! – he exclaimed in an educational tone.
– What?! I told you that you will not marry just one woman, Arthur! You're a king now! Look at Qin-Shi Huang di, in a short period of time there are three wives who make Eleanor's life hell... – Hera looked at him and screamed desperately.
Arthur, put his hand on her cheek. – I'm going to marry you, and you'll be the only one in my heart! And I'm not Qin-Shi! His problem isn't the many women, it's the way he looks at women... – he said, wiping away her tears with his hand.
Hera looked at Arthur while his hand wiped away her tears.
Arthur, seeing her red face, thought. "I don't have time for this..." he thought. – What's wrong?! Why have you been crying more than before? – he asked.
Blushing, she covered her face. – I don't cry! I'm only like this because you're saying things that I've always dreamed I'd hear from you.
Hera looked at him. – Do you really love me? Are you sure?
Chuckling. – Don't worry too much, I've already firmed the Treadway oath... – he assured her, pulling her into his arms.
Leaning against Arthur's chest, she whispered. – Being king, you could use your Sovereign Power to be able to marry without the law affecting you... – she whispered, afraid of the answer.
In the United Kingdom, the Council of Elders had the responsibility to make laws, the Supreme Court had the responsibility to judge, and the King had three responsibilities: to enforce law, supervise, and authorize the actions of the Council of Elders and the Supreme Court. The king can judge and create laws but only using the Sovereign Power. The King's Sovereign Power is a power that lets the king do whatever he wants, wherever and whenever he wants, but it can only be used twenty times a year.
Looking at the sea, Arthur replied. – I am not officially king of the British yet. I could do it as king of the Amazons, but then the British would never accept me as king, especially the elders, Glayder and Blake who are only looking for a loophole to use the law against me... – he sighed.
Hera, squealing, said. – Just because of a year apart...? Twenty and twenty-one don't have much difference, and I'm not even twenty-one yet, I'm still twenty, so we're the same age... – looking at him with a bright smile.
– How could I not have thought of this?! We can get married! Let's go! – she exclaimed with a face full of life.
Chuckling, Arthur ran his hand over her head. "This child... If I wanted to I would've already done it!" he thought. – Be patient, you'll be my wife eventually... – he sighed.
– I deep down think you only want to marry me because it's politically favorable to you and my appearance that will make you earn the respect of marrying the most beautiful, but you say you love me, I... – Hera said with a trembling voice,
Smiling, she looked at Arthur. – I trust you.
And the most beautiful woman in the world was right, not only did he never say he loved her, but he also didn't love her, or at least he didn't love with his thoughts.
…
At the same moment, on the other side of the continent Eurus, at the Chamberlain mansion in Camelot.
Lancelot, Persival, Ryu, Jarvis, Orion, Rohan, Emma, Neythiri, Mey, and Astrid talking with glasses of wine in hand, it was the queen's arrival banquet.
Selena, Maya, Phoenix, Ambrose, Morgan, Emma, Astrid, Mey and Neythiri in a competition to see who could drink the most.
Queen Andromeda, with a glass in her hand, was surrounded by the elders, dukes, marquises, counts, barons, and Cassilda who only talked about politics.
Princess Allana, Eralith and Aldir played in the garden.
Queen Andromeda saw Allana under a table and ran her hand over her face. –ALLANA!!! Butler, tell Sena to stay with the kids! – she ordered, veins visible on her face.
Butler, looking at Allana, smiled. – Right now, ma'am! – he exclaimed, going to fetch the children.
Princess Morgan Treadway, looking at Selena. – Where's Alexia?! I heard you found her passed out on the floor... – she sighed in a worried tone.
Selena Glayder, the king's physician, looked at the wine glass. – She started training nonstop, now she doesn't even want to sleep anymore. But her body couldn't handle the mistreatment and asthma, she ended up falling. But it's okay, she's resting now...
…
In Alexia's room on the royal ship of the Amazons...
Alexia, sleeping with her chest up, soaked the bed with her sweat showing that the nightmare was disturbing.
In her mind, the dream took place at the entrance to the city of Camelot...
Arthur, kneeling on the ground with a fury manifested through his red eyes, red runes on his body, and an aura that destroyed the city, he carried Hera's bloodied body in his arms.
Looking around saw the bodies in the streets, Alexia then looked at Arthur and saw Hera's lifeless body in his arms. "My God, Lord... Oh, it's just a dream, but... If it were a dream, would I know?" Alexia thinking with her hand on her chin.
Arthur, crying, tried to wake Hera. – Hera! Hera! Wake up, no... – he roared, letting out the roar of the Dragon King. His eyes glowed red, his hair turned white, and golden marks spread across his body becoming red. – ROOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!! – he roared, deafening everything and destroying the city.
Covering her ears because of the deafening noise of the roar, Alexia felt pain in her ears and fell to the ground. – Lord... – she whispered with blood running down her ears.
Arthur looked at Alexia, veins bulging. – You!!! – he exclaimed with his eyes fixed on her, stood up.
– Everyone has to pay! – he exclaimed, pointing to the sun and sighing. He lowered his hand and melted the whole city with the heat of the sun.
– Sacred Flames: Apocalypse! – he exclaimed, making a super jump and returning to the ground so strongly that he buried all the earth around.
Feeling the ground open up, Alexia saw the corpses in the streets falling in the openings of the earth, and everything collapse. – What?! No! No!!! – she exclaimed as she saw the reality around her.
Arthur, shirtless, floated, looking at her. – Aren't you dead yet?! – he exclaimed, and at high speed, stopped in front of her. – This is your fault!
Frightened, she panicked and, putting her hand on her chest, had breathing problems. – F-Forgive me, I, I... – she said with a trembling voice, falling to the ground with difficulty breathing and her trembling knees.
Delivering a blow to her face, Arthur exclaimed. – Die! – and advanced towards her face.
Alexia, seeing Arthur's fist, tried to shield her face. – Please, little brother... – she said with a trembling voice.
