"Emperor, The enemy troops are on their way to declare war upon us." One of the court members started as the court began.

"How dare they!?" The other one, who is around 60 years old with a white beard hanging from his chin wearing royal court attire, scoffed with mockery

"Didn't they see how King Maverick dealt with the ones who went against our kingdom?"  The old court member said proudly.

"True! True!" The other court lackeys agreed in the union.

"But...But..There was news that the enemy troops are joining together to come against us. It's not one..but many" The one who talked first said in distress.

"Bah! Don't you remember how King Maverick finished the whole army single-handedly and got us the great victory. I have never seen such a great king in history before " The old man, who looked like he knows more than one can imagine replied strongly.

"A troop or a group of troops! They are nothing in front of our lord "  Another senior court member added.

Then they heard a chuckle, which silenced the whole courtroom. Point to be noted, the court had around 300 people. They could even hear the young soldiers practicing in distance, daggers clashing together, vigorous shouts coming from young men practicing the moves. That's how much power that person had in this courtroom.

Just a single breathe from him can silence the whole room and have everyone's attention on him.

That is what happened just now too. Everyone's eyes turned to the young man sitting on the majestic throne. Though he looks not more than 20 years old, his majestic aura can make anyone bow in front of him.

He is wearing blue attire with a hint of black along with black jewels stitched onto it. Also, a high dark blue coat draped over his attire, giving him the majestic look with suited well with the crown that sat over his head, it looked like it belongs there. Like it was made for him.

The throne was placed over the 4 large stairs, in a height. The throne is made of gold along with diamonds which are used to decorate it. It has a dragon at the top of it, made of gold, showing its superiority.

"You praise me too much, Minister Jaguars "  The words were spoken softly in a kidding manner, but yet held an obvious amount of authority.

"Your Majesty, These words of your servant are not enough to define your magnificence." The old man stepped down from his chair to bow in front of King due to respect as he was addressing the king directly.

The King let out a humorous chuckle, which made all the court members stare at him in astonishment.

"You may get seated, minister" The king ordered the old man before he started speaking.

"I say, Never underestimate your enemy. " The king starts, making everyone sit straight in their chairs listening with attention.

"Get as much information as possible about the troops, how many of them are joining together, how many of them are powerful enough and how long does it take for them to reach our kingdom."

"I need spies watching there every moment and report it right back in the courtroom."  The king ordered.

"I want the war ministers to get their troops ready for the possible war. Try to prepare this year's young soldiers to join the war. "

"Don't neglect any single aspect. Unless you are ready to face the consequences "

The King ordered all the court members. Everyone took notes on what they should do.
