The eyes of Noir widened in shock as his heartbeat started to rise, scenario and some other things that Roselle might have sacrificed for the sake of Sophia's helping hand emerged from the depths of his brain, but of of course, as an experienced assassin and spy that was designated and was never replaced from his young age as the captain of the spy network of his nation, he is ever so calm outside as if he have already expected such summons.

"I shall go immediately."

The spy nodded and melded back into the darkness, Noir frowned upon the messenger's disappearance, he didn't have a very good feeling about this summons from his brother, and as a natural coward, he wanted not to come if not for the fact that disregarding the order of the King will not turn out well for him. 

_I hope it's nothing serious._

That is the only thing the prince of Gjallarhorn can hope for as he skipped back to the royal palace.

However, the moment Noir entered the throne room, he was met with a darkness not even seen by the Queendom of Death, Kamatayan, no light was lit up and seemingly no torch that will be lit up from this moment on will ever illuminate the darkness emitted inside the supposed to be brightly lit room.

_... Fuck..._

The prince cannot help but curse inwardly, this scene is very familiar to him and to his brother King Roselle as the two of them are quite fond of darkness, for one, Noir's whole skill set is centered on utilizing darkness while Roselle looks cool with her eyes looking like balls of plasma as it illuminates the moonless night, in short Roselle loves darkness because it makes him look more handsome and as stupid and shallow the reason might be, it is still a fact in Gjallarhorn that if their monarch's eyes dazzled in the middle of the night, thunderbolts will soon struck an unfortunate soul.

Noir's breath started to be ragged and his once calm heart rate started to hasten once more, his adam's apple moved as Roselle, who have eyes that look like balls of terrifying electricity moved his face to stare at this brother of his, after which, as if animated by a mind of their own, the door to the throne room was closed, causing only the "glow" in the eyes of the King to be the source of illumination.

After this long bout of silence, Roselle finally spoke.

"The moment the Kingdom discovered  the covert infiltration of the forces of Valentine into the Capital City Heimdall, the prince of Gjallarhorn colluded with the devil to throw a wrench on the helping hand being given by Queen Sophia I towards Gjallarhorn, not only that, he also desires to cuckold his own King and brother, not knowing that the woman he is lusting for, the queen has long been dead and was replaced by Hebi Tsukaiza herself."

"Such crimes are confirmed by the combined efforts of the King of Gjallarhorn and the Queen of Kamatayan and were branded as sedition, punishable by death."

The moment the King said all of those words in one breath, the whole throne room started to shake as if it was experiencing a violent storm, and it was, bolts of lightning banged with walls, pillars, and the throne itself, these, alongside all the words spouted by his King brother made Noir buckle down to his knees, finally, he was snapped out of the hypnotism he has unknowingly entered and finally learned of all the flaws his circle of thought has all this while, he was not acting because he wanted to, he was not acting for something right and was being controlled, after all, who in their right mind will want to be hostile against a hero with a mother in law that is also hero, it is pure stupidity. Noir immediately opened his mouth as he tried to explain his side, however, his brother did not bother to talk to him further, Roselle raised his finger that was emitting blue lightning of high voltages and pointed it at Noir.
