The Legendary Emperor King

Chapter 68: Arthur Treadway - Special Chapter 03



At the entrance to the amazons' palace, Alexia heard Butler's words, they were like an unwanted alarm, an annoying bell that no one would want to hear...

Nervously, she taps Butler on the shoulder – Don't say that! And keep your voice down, if anyone hears you... – sighs.

Arthur walked out of the palace, his curled oak hair making an elegant match with his mystical golden eyes, and his black and gold royal kimono making his ruthless yet royal nature shine. He stopped behind Alexia. " Did she wear all this just for a walk with me? She takes leaving the palace very seriously, women..." With another sigh, he thought as he looked at the golden hair dancing on her back and her hips highlighted by the blue dress – Sif...!

Looking at Butler with the face of someone who is up to something, she jumps with fright when hears her younger brother's voice – What tha... Master... – With her hand on her chest as she looked at him.

The faithful steward crouched down and sighed, a sigh that carried the weight of wisdom. "Light, darkness has come faster to the young master's court, faster than I anticipated..." Communicating with the Light through his thoughts. – Lord!

He shifted his focus to Butler, lets out a slight smile, a smile that didn't hide the weight and scars of resentment and bitterness. – Stay here in the palace, Butler! I'll be back in a few hours... – He ordered, as he stood next to Alexia.

Alexia looked at Butler as a child who had just received what she wanted. – Problem solved, Butler stays... – begins her walk as she pulls Arthur by his wrist.

 – See you later, Lord Ultimate... – a whisper accompanied by a nod as he looked at a sheep being pulled to his death by a wolf.

Uncomfortable with Alexia's hand on his wrist, he looked at her. – Where are we going?

Smiling, she puts her hand on his, forcing a walk hand in hand. – Let's go!

In the palace, Princess Hera's snowy hair and her sky-colored shining eyes were reflected in the glass of a window, she looked at Alexia and Arthur walking hand in hand. "What...? I've been smelling Aphrodite's sent coming from Alexia, but now even her ways resemble Aphrodite's..." – she reflected, with her arms crossed. A mixture of jealousy and worry in her heart.

Meanwhile, a few minutes later the siblings arrived in the center of the city, only to see the destruction caused by the war. The two walked together, watching the amazons trying to rebuild their homes and refugees arriving. But the amazons were also watching them, the princes.

– Did he come to kill us for good...? – Some amazons, trembling with fear of Arthur's presence.

Arthur seeing the houses, shops and much of the infrastructure destroyed. "I didn't know..." He sighed in his thoughts.

With a discreet look, she notices the astonishment and pain of a leader camouflaged by the sigh. – Did you only find time to walk on your last day?

Traveling in thoughts, is brought back by Alexia's soft and lively voice. – Y-Yes, sorry for that! I've been cleaning up the mess they made in the lab, and meditating... – wandering his gaze around the city.

Walking, her feet hidden under her long dress. – I see, you didn't have time to be with your peasant older sister... – she said with a grunt from behind. – The amazons have suffered a lot, worse with what we heard you said at the meeting, the master was our last hope... – she fixed her mature gaze on him.

Walking while looking at the people. – Do not place your trust in people, they fail, place it in the one who never fails... – his heart leaped, confirming that it did know of his selfishness. – And about what I said, I don't take back! It's the truth, I'm not going to help! I have my interests...! – he removed his gaze from the destruction and placed it on the clean blue sky in the hope that he would find peace there.

Shaking her head, sees a child and with a smile, waves. – Uhummm, interests beyond defending oppressed and suffering people. I'm curious about those interests? – her elegant gait and her innocent yet mature look accompanied by blue-yellow eyes.

Looks at her. – To have peace, that's more important! Then, finding the King Force, finishing off the assassins, ending Zeus, and taking the throne of England... – with a firm gaze, but charged with the ravishing beauty of the amazons that he inherited from the queen.

Taking one step at a time, she crosses her hands. – Hmmmm...! Peace starts from the inside out! You will not find peace in places, or people, or things! Don't you think it's funny that all of life's pleasures need repetitions? – notices Arthur's lost look, lets out a laugh, but hides it with her hand.

 – If things gave pleasure, would you need to have a lot of things? Wasn't it enough to have one and that's it? Anyway, it's a subject for another time... – she murmured.

– … The King Force, if I may give you some advice, use Butler! He's useful! ... I think taking the throne of England and putting an end to the murderers is in the same box, and Zeus, he's a very serious and a dangerous matter, be careful master, please, okay? – the calm and soothing voice, accompanying the natural sound of the wind, and her phoenix gaze fixed on him.

Next to her, he raises his eyebrows in amazement. "Wisdom..." admired in his thoughts. – Thanks for the tip, Sif! I'm going with Butler anyway, but all this won't be now! I'll be away for a long time... – interrupted by her worried expression.

Seeing Alexia's face take on a sad countenance. – Don't look at me like that! I heard you, I have to be careful... – he avoids Alexia's worried face, scratching the back of his head, chuckles.

Walking, she smiles. – That's it! Now, what do you want to do with the amazons? – She sighed.

With a hard and unyielding face. – What you already heard! If they don't stop killing to reproduce, and for other reasons without moral justification, I'll come back and exterminate them all from the face of the earth, and I want to thank you by the way... – with his gaze on her smile, the hardness broke.

She paused, trying to understand the sudden change of subject. "He just threatened me, and my kind yet acts as if it were nothing..." hiding her thoughts with her soft expression. – For...?

Looking at her. She was slightly above his height. – For understanding. Hera, she...

A few hours ago, when he left the meeting room, as if letting out a heavy rhyme and leaving the microphone on the floor.

 – Arthur, wait! – Hera running after him.

In the corridor of the palace...

She holds Arthur's hand, annoyed. –Arthur! Stop, please...

Butler crouched. – Princess... – on purpose to avoid the start of a discussion.

With her gaze fixed on Arthur's cold face. – Butler, can you please leave us?

 – As you wish, princess... – he leaves, the relief of not having to follow the discussion expressed in a subtle smile.

She prepares her words, puts her hands on her hips, clears her throat. – What was that?! What's your problem?!

Arthur, with a cold and lifeless face. – Hera! What do you want?!

– Hera what?! Arthur, stop being like this! Stop! Please slow down, you're exaggerating, it's enough! – with her hands on her hips and her posture leaning towards him.

He rolls his eyes, sighs. – Hera, not now! Don't start!

Looking at him, she follows the movement of his eyes. – Arthur, you are inconsequential!

The cold face gives way to raised eyebrows. – Is that so? Since you're not, why didn't you save yourself from Jin? Why didn't you defeat him?

She gasps, her heart felt those words and her fists clenched. – BECAUSE HE WAS STRONGER THAN ME!!! WAS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR?! – She shouted, her face full of anger and veins.

Looking at her. – WHAT DO YOU WANT!? WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM WITH ME?! – Looking deep into her eyes, looking for an answer to the attention he receives from her.

– IS IT OUR FAULT THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN USE THE KING'S FORCE AND PREVENT THE DEATH OF MILLIONS?! – anger giving way to sadness of disappointment – You can, but you don't help! That makes you as horrible as the amazons...

 – And is it my fault? Is it mine? Do you even think about me? What do I want? – with his hand on his chest, as he approaches her.

She puts her hand on her forehead, sighs. – Q-Queen Cassandra would be ashamed...

She should not have said that, that's crossing the line. A line that Arthur protects. Those words brought veins to Arthur's face, the golden eyes shone, and the aura of a Supreme Master was released. He approached her.

Hera being suffocated by his aura, tries to move away from him, but the wall prevents "This aura!!! Is he this strong?! He is reaching the apex of cultivation..." She thought as his dominance made her tremble against the wall.
