The sun rose, and King Potter sat at the edge of his bed. He barely sleeps throughout the night, How could he? He doesn't know if these moments will be his last.
A knock came on his door before it cracked open, and a giant, scary-looking guard walked in. "It's time," said the scary-looking guard. King Potter nodded in understanding, he got up from the bed before walking out with the guard.
*******
In the throne room, the Supreme King, Supreme King Orlando, Sat on his throne, and before him sat the high Lords: High Lord Hightower, High Lord Ford, and High Lord Frank. His sons were also present both Prince Peter and Prince Gregory.
The throne room was silent as they all waited for the guard to bring in King Potter. No one knows what the Supreme King really has in mind for King Potter, the Supreme King, as said nothing about it.
A few minutes later, the guard walked in with King Potter. The guard bowed before leaving. King Potter fell to the Supreme King Orlando's feet and kowtowed the moment the guard left. After all, is that not what he had come here to do?
A cruel smile formed on Supreme King Orlando's face. "You didn't seem like the Potter king of Dexon have heard about" the supreme king shook his head as if pitying King Potter "You look timid, well" he shrugged "it doesn't matter anymore if you rabell or not since you're asking for armistice right now, but armistice is not the right word you should have use" Supreme King Orlando pointed out.
Everyone frowned, not knowing what the Supreme King was driving at, but one thing was sure: the Supreme King was trying to pull things in his favour, which is what they all don't know.
Supreme King Orlando stood up and walked up to King Potter, who was still in a kneeling position. "You should use the word surrender, isn't that a more appropriate word?" Asked the Supreme King with a smile. He then squats to level with King Potter "You see I don't really blame you for trying to be free, but you should know better"
The Supreme King stood up straight and sat back on his throne. "Stand up, Potter," Said the Supreme King. King Potter stared at him to confirm, and the Supreme King nodded at him before he stood up.
"I didn't have the plan to punish you or kill you like you might be thinking, but I still can't let you go scot free, can I? Many of my men have died, and someone has to answer for that," said Supreme King Orlando.
"I'm ready for any of your punishment," King Potter said humbly.
"Good," Supreme King Orlando said, then turned to face his High Lords, "What should I take from them, my Lords?" Ask the Supreme King Orlando.
"Your Majesty, " High Lord Hightower bowed to the Supreme King and stood up to talk. "How about we increase the tribute they pay to us?" Suggested High Lord Hightower.
"That's a brilliant idea, Hightower," said the Supreme King before turning to King Potter again. "I, Supreme King Orlando, increase the tribute that the kingdom of Dexon pays to me under the rule of Potter as their king by 20 percent," Declared the Supreme King.
"As your Majesty Supreme King commands, " said King Potter humbly while bowing to Supreme King Orlando.
"Good," the supreme king smiled, "now you all should leave us, I have something to discuss with just King Potter," he ordered.
All the high Lords stood up and left the throne room, including Prince Peter and Prince Gregory, who exchanged a look with King Potter before leaving.
After everyone had left, leaving only Supreme King Orlando and King Potter. Supreme King Orlando stood up and walked up to King Potter. "You see King Potter I'm thinking of setting this war in the most friendly war"
"What do you have in mind, your majesty?" Asked King Potter.
"King Potter, you have a daughter and I have a son don't you think it will be beneficial for both of us if we become in-laws?" Asked the Supreme King with a smile.
King Potter was surprised by the Supreme King's suggestion, but he knew he was in no place to negotiate or reject, so instead he asked, "Which of the princes, your majesty?"
"Who else if not Gregory" replied Supreme King Orlando with a proud smile.
