Honor

⚜️ Not again!⚜️

⚜️ King  Zeregorn POV⚜️

He wrote down the last words onto the scroll before rolling it up and then sealing it with the Monarch emblem; it was an angel its arms spread out on either side of her, her wings arching above and around her, almost hugging her small body. On the left side of her there was he moon and on the right there was the sun, both elements were very symbolic of Azia.

The crescent moon represented the Moon Princess who fell from the sky and chose the Holy Knights to guard the King with their lives and also the whole Universe. The Moon Princess was also the Queen of all the Celestial stars which made up the 12 Horoscopes. They also had great importance, as the from each Horoscope, a Knight would get a servant or maiden to side then whenever they would need help in battle or other situations.

The sun represented the Fire Lord Habaths. He protected at daylight. Evil creatures hated the sun, they only came out at night.

Finally the Angel represented the Fallen Angel Angelina. She granted all the four elements; water, fire, air, Earth to all the people in Azia. Everyone could control all the elements but they all had to specialize with one or two. Two was very rare...

A knock came at the door. The King looked up curious who could it be. He didn't expect anybody today.

The door opened and he saw one of the Gentry students bowing towards him.

He stood up. His mind already thinking about unanswered questions. Why was she here? Did something happen in the Institute? Did something happen to that sweet girl?

"Your Highness," She kept her eyes on the floor.

"Please raise your head, Lady Zoe." He tried to keep his voice very calm.

"I apologize for turning up so sudden, but it was urgent." She looked into his eyes. Zeregorn waited for her to continue. "I guess you know about Saphire Hawkings? Yes well The other Gentries and I we tried to recruit her to be part of us for her well being, and to also complete the Gentry members, because I see no one more fit to be the Fifth member than her. Unfortunately she declined."

This didn't surprise the King. "Indeed?"

"Yes. I came here in hopes that perhaps you could advice me other ways I could convince her to join."
The King fell deep into thoughts while the girl waited unmoving.

After a short while, the King had an idea. "Very well. I will try to convince her. Tell her to be here at the castle at eight sharp, tonight."

"Thank you very much , Your Highness!" Zoe bowed even deeper showing her gratitude and left without saying any other word.

The King set back down to his seat and a wicked-playful smile plays son his lips. Today was going to be very interesting! He could not wait for 8:00!!!

⚜️⚜️⚜️

It was time!!! Zeregorn jumped out from his seat and rushed to the meeting room. He danced along the corridor while humming a tune which was engraved in his mind. Quickly composing his posture at the corner; before turning right where two guards were guarding the door; he put his hands behind her back, back straight and head held high he walked towards them with dignity.

It bored him to have two characters to him. A King was never to show any sign of childishness, weakness and other treats which did not bead him to be King.

The guards bowed and opened the doors for him. He stepped through and found the room still empty. He thought it would be nice to have some tea with that girl and sent one of the guards to fetch some.

He didn't have to wait long for Saphire to arrive, but when she did, he was more than shocked to see her in a sweat-beaten state! Her hair at the front was sticking to her forehead, her unusual clothing attire was drenched in sweat.
