Sitting on his throne comfortably, drinking his wine and grinning, King Simon fantasized himself as the king of both kingdoms- Leumartheow and Mulgarath. “I’m sure Raymond is panicking right now, finding ways on how to defeat me, but with his pure heart, he can’t risk many lives just to save his kingdom. That is an advantage to me,” King Simon said. He put down his cup, stood and acted as if he was a great warrior saving a kingdom from chaos. He called his adviser and told him his plan. “Gather some information on when will be his child’s baptism. We’ll attack his kingdom unless he surrenders Leumartheow,” King Simon ordered, “that will be a great entrance. Very dramatic it is, interrupting a very important day for him.” “Yes your majesty,” said his adviser and bowed before him. His adviser accidentally bumped into his table letting the cup fell on the floor, breaking it. “Stupid! You loathsome creature! Clean it up and hurry do your job! You’re such a lunatic,” King Simon bolted to his adviser. “I’m so sorry your majesty, this won't happen again,” apologized his adviser. “Get out of my face!” he shouted. He walks towards the door, his butler opened it for him, rides his carriage and heads to Leumartheow with his guards.

            King Raymond was still thinking on how to save his kingdom when suddenly he heard screams from the outside. He immediately went out. At first, he saw a knight pushing a man, trying to clear the way. Then as the guards set aside, he saw King Simon ascending the stairs to meet him. Raising an eyebrow and faking a smile, he said, “Hello your majesty.” King Raymond approached him, “What brings you here Simon?” “Well, I’m just here to check if you’re enjoying your last days of being a ruler. I was thinking that I won’t directly make you my servant but rather my adviser, since it wouldn’t be easy for you to adjust,” King Simon said while trying to insult King Raymond in front of his people. “I won’t need that, Simon. I won’t let you succeed with your plan. I will make sure that at the end of the day, Leumartheow will still be in my hands,” King Raymond replied trying to regain his pride. “Hahaha. Let’s just see,” King Simon responded and left.  King Raymond knows what Simon is capable of doing. His anxiety swallowed him and that time, he was thinking of what could happen to his family and his Kingdom if King Simon would pursue his plan.
