“Your Highness, why would you suggest a servant to lead a war? And…”
“It’s an order, Arthur!” Queen Amyra said half yelled.
Arthur raised a brow at her, then bowed and said:
“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to. I’ll try my best to come back victorious.” Arthur left the Queen and went to his suite.
He put on his fighting clothes; a armor and an armlets. Sapphire suddenly came to him and said panicking:
“I heard we’re under attack! Should I come along? I…”
“Don’t worry, and besides, you’re pregnant. I don’t wanna stress you.. I’ll be back soon..”
“But…” Sapphire tried to convince him, but she saw him walking past her.
“Arthur….!!” She called, with her eyes glistering with tears.
“My lady, something’s wrong with the king..!” A maid declared, Sapphire left the thought of going to the battlefield and ran to the king’s chamber with the maid.

“We’re not here for war!” The buyeo’s commander said outside the gate.
Arthur and the other glared at them.
“We’re here to settle our quarrel..!!” His voice came again, louder.
“Alright, only your king can be permitted with the commander.”
“Arthur, we can’t fall into their trap!” Castiel said, suspiciously.
“From my observation, they didn’t come for war; their warriors are less and their king seems to be in support of what he says.
We can’t fall into their trap because we’ll also be prepared for it. Order some guards to open the gate.” Arthur finally made up his mind.
“Arthur….!! You can’t d..”
“Don’t let me repeat myself!” Arthur said, strernly.
“OPEN THE GATE!!”Castiel said reluctantly to their warriors.
They opened the gate for them. The king and the commander ride in gently.
The commander alighted from his horse, holds the king’s horse rope and the king alighted from the horse.
Castiel came to them.
“Follow me!” He said and turns back while they followed his led.
Soon they got to where Arthur was speaking inside. Their seats was already made available. Arthur and Castiel was the only one present in the discussion and some warriors stayed closer to where they’re.
“Why’s Skylar not here?” The king asked making Castiel frown.
“You have no right to call him by name!” He said lividly, giving him a hard glare.
Arthur touch his hand, indicating he should keep his temper.
“That shouldn’t be your concern, what’re you here for?” Arthur asked, calmly.
“I came here to settle our quarrel. I wanna apologize for all these years we have been enemies. I want us to be friends, we should settle our fight amicably.” The king replied, in a cool voice.
“Really? You think we can buy that?” Arthur said.
“Then let’s have a feast together.. We’ll start from there and also receive gifts from us as an ‘apology symbol’..” The King said smiling.
★★★
Some warriors are seen in a hide out, probably trying to get into a place. They tip toed to their location. After getting there,they strangled some to death.
After they had successfully killed those they encountered, they placed some ladders on the gate and some climb on the ladder in order to get into their actual location.
★★★
“Could you permit us to give you those gifts?” The king asked.
They heard the splashing of swords.
“My Lord, it’s a trap!!” A warrior said into Castiel’s ear and he glared at the commander who give out a devlish smile.
“I told you it was all a trap!” Castiel said furiously rosing up from his seat.
The commander bring out his sword and tries to threaten them.
“You should surrender! Or we kill you and take it behind you.” He said, threateningly.
“That never an easy thing to request for!” Arthur knock out the commander’s sword and they engaged in physical fighting.
Castiel went for the king who was looking at him like a young lad begging his mother for forgiveness.
He picked up the commander’s sword and tried to threaten him with it, but it ended up falling from his hand because he was scared and his hand were shaking.
Castiel didn’t want to kill him, he wanted him caught. Some of the buyeo’s warriors have successfully entered.
The king marked Castiel on his hand, the king warriors has successfully find their way to them..
The king was escorted out of the place, some stayed to rescue the commander but they were killed by Castiel and Arthur while the commander became their captive.
The buyeo’s warriors retreated with the king some were eventually captured.

Queen Amyra’s suite
“I’m so glad we were victorious!” She said, happily to Arthur who stood motionlessly for seconds before uttering a word.
“I’m also happy we did, but we have to be prepared next time. We almost fell into their trap. And we have to find a cure to the disease that have been ravaging us.” Arthur said.
“The doctors are trying their best to find a cure very soon.” Queen Amyra said.
“I hope they’d soon.”

Buyeo’s kingdom>> King’s chamber
“We were defeated!” The king lammented. The queen tried to keep him calm but all to no avail.
“My Lord, I believe you would next time. Don’t..”
“All what we planned to give them was as our plan in defeating them, were all destroyed!” The king said, cutting her off.
“A failure might be a way to success, my Lord.”

Night••
Sapphire paced up and down her suite expecting him to be with her by now.
She heard someone opening the door and she knew it was definitely him.
“Been waiting for too long?” He asked jarcularly as he entered.
“I almost thought you have changed your mind to spend the night with me.” Sapphire pouted, sadly.
“I wouldn’t want to break my promise.” He said smiling. When he gets to her, he sat her down.
“My love, how’s your health?” He asked caringly.
“I wasn’t feeling quite well since you left for the battlefield. My mind wasn’t at rest. I think about you..”
“Worry no more since I’m here now. Let’s go to bed.” Arthur said and layed her gently on the bed.
He also layed on it and they couldn’t help staring into each other’s eyes.
“You always say”I’m just like her” whenever you stared at me deeply. Is there any woman you have been seeing behind me? Did you have a mistress..?” Sapphire asked twisting her smallish lips.
Arthur burst out laughing hearing this.
“Don’t take me for granted.” Sapphire said getting angry.
“I’m not. I’m just suprised by your question. You seems like a jealous wife..”
“I should be. I wanna be the only one in your heart.”
“Hum..! You’re the only one indeed.”
Suddenly, he saw her frowning.
“What’s it?” He asked with concern.
“What’s keeping you away from having s*x with me?” She asked.
“Nothing. I just feel since you’re pregnant, you might like us doing it.”
“Well, I want it. Touch me, kiss me, do wh@tëver you like with me tonight.” She said. Arthur couldn’t muster the courage to say a word for some minutes.
“So you truly don’t want..” Arthur cut her off with a kiss and covers their bodies with the duvet. Sapphire smiled happily to herself.

Three days later
“Please be our king for the time being. You’re the only person that can take this position because you’re the one keeping the heir of joseon. And we believed you’ll led us well, please without a king, the warriors won’t abide to what we say.
We have to close you as our king..” The council pleaded.
“I appreciate the trust your had in me, but me becoming a king will be quite difficult. No one would turn out this offer, but I just think I’m not too capable of becoming the king..
Please accept my sincere apologies..” Arthur said to their disappointment
“We know you’re only to keep your intergrity, but the king as being in coma for days and we were sent a message from our rival saying they would strike tonight. We have lost many warriors, also villagers because you refused to be our king since the day they were defeated by us. You also know your words as the commander doesn’t count much, only if you become the king can it be.” A minister pleaded.
Though, he has promised Sapphire that he would accept to be the king, but he feared something inside him.
“My dear comrades, with due respect, I understand we have lost too many warriors and our people are dying. So, I’ll accept this proposal till the king wakes up. I hope you all will abide by wh@tëver I say?” Arthur throw the question to everyone and they replied by saying:
“Yes, Your Majesty..”

The night approaches faster than any other day. The scene reveals the buyeo arriving at the battlefield with 6 thousands warriors while the joseon doesn’t have less than a half.
“They have much warriors..” Some warriors whispered to each other.
“No matter how many warriors they did have, we’ll be victorious. So, fear not.” A warrior said to the warrior beside her.
“ATTACK..!! ATTACK..!! ATTACK!!” The buyeo’s King ordered his warriors to strike while the joseon warriors runs to them to attack with full force.
The splashing of swords could be heard everywhere in the battlefield.
Arthur and Castiel rode faster and kills any of their opponents warriors that comes their way, showing them no mercy.
Castiel sighted Naomi as he killed a warrior. She fought so hard, but he noticed she was killing their people.
Some arrows was shoot at her direction without her noticing. She looked up after she has successfully kills those who attacked her, but unfortunately one of the arrow hit her in her eyes.
“Ahhh!!” She groaned in pains trying to remove it, but another arrow meet the second eye.
Blood gush out from her eyes and she collapsed instantly.
“Annie…!!!” Castiel called shrilly as he ran to her.
“Hurray…!! We won!!” He heard their warriors jubilating. He saw the buyeo retreating, but her life matters to him.
Arthur noticed his absence and trailed his eyes to find him, he later saw him carrying a lady in his arms; weeping like a 5 years old kid.
“What happened?” He asked.
“She’s dying.. please summon the available doctor right away!” Castiel said in tears.
“Alright..”
**
Onami entered the suite. She walked to Naomi who was laid on the bed. When she guled at the person before her, she gasp for her within herself. Tears stored in her eyes, but she fight it back.
She opened her treating box and put the hypodermic needles on her eyes, and hands.
After some minutes, she removed them and suprisingly, she started weeping instead of her to tell them the outcome.
“Is she alright?” Castiel asked.
“Her eyes have been damaged, she can never see again!” She declared..
TBC..
