**King Agamemnon's POV:**

How dare he! I knew it; I knew it all along. Everything I thought about him was true.

His selfish desire to keep his daughter for his own demands.

Well, this means war, Zircon. You want war, Zircon? Then I'll give it to you.

And how dare that insufferable servant who beat me up be such a coward and not reveal himself...

You thought I didn't remember your face? Well, I do.

I will find you and make you pay for what you have done to me.

I sent my men to Dardannia and instructed them to find the stinky slave who had disgraced my name.

I rode in my chariot to the gates of Dardannia, filled with fear, panic, and terror towards those who stand against my will.

**King Agamemnon:** King Zircon! Open the gates of Dardannia and face me like a true man!

At the top of this city, Zircon appeared and said...

**King Zircon:** King Agamemnon! It is not my intention to anger you during your stay here in Dardannia, but I was not present when your tragic tale transpired...

I seethed with anger at his words and shouted back.

**King Agamemnon:** Liar! I knew it all along! You, King Zircon, have been selfish enough to deny me your daughter. You have shattered the peace agreement that Greece and Dardannia both agreed upon...

**King Zircon's POV:**

My daughter Gema is crying because of King Agamemnon's demands. Yes, it infuriates me that he has dishonored my little princess.

But I still believe we can resolve this through peaceful dialogue.

My men quickly alerted us to King Agamemnon’s arrival at the gates of Dardannia.

I walked out to face him, and he declared...

**King Agamemnon:** King Zircon! Open the gates of Dardannia and face me like a true man!

I looked down at the vast number of his soldiers before the city and replied...

**King Zircon:** King Agamemnon! It is not my intention to provoke you during your stay here, but I was not present when your tragic tale unfolded...

As I spoke calmly, holding back my anger, he suddenly erupted.

**King Agamemnon:** Liar! I knew it all along! You, King Zircon, have been selfish enough to refuse me your daughter. You have violated the peace agreement between Greece and Dardannia!

Nicko stepped forward beside me and asked King Agamemnon...

**Nicko:** If I surrender to you, will you spare Dardannia instead of reducing it to ruins along with Troy?

I was shocked by his proposal to King Agamemnon...

**King Zircon:** So it was you, Nicko? You are the cause of all of King Agamemnon’s anger?

He looked me in the eyes and said...

**Nicko:** I cannot stand by while he forces my lady Jewel to undress and surrender her virginity to his demanding whims in Dardania...
