Throne Room.
"Your highness sir! Our scouts bring news from the land of the short eared!" A messenger exclaimed, putting his hand to his right chest to express truthfulness.
"Speak." Rhodes spoke in a regal tone, far different from the one he had used when talking to Gracie.
"The combination of the [Fallen Saint], [Feral King] and [Draconic Overlord] is proving a far more difficult army to deal with for the short eared kind sir! We fear the outer walls of the human empire have completely fallen to the [Revolution Revolt], the name the three armies combined have decided to name themselves!"
Rhodes remained calm, not showing a hint of fear,"Any other news?"
"Yes! Our spies embedded in the four kingdoms have found the fourth king, Faunicus Credo is a traitor!"
"What! Has that old bastard turned traitor!" Rhodes shouted, his hands trembled as he laid them on the throne's armrests.
"From reports, it seems so sir!"
"Tch. Just what did the [Fallen Saint] offer to get him to join them?" Rhodes wondered, curious about the situation.
"You highness! Do you not realise the magnitude of this situation of ours?" A noble shouted from the side.
Rhodes nodded,"We are a week's ride from the taken outer walls. We will remain neutral for now. If they choose to enter, they will feel the wrath of her true highness goddess Trinity!"
"Glory to her true highness! Glory to her true highness!" The court chanted in unison, like a devout group of priests.
"It is truly a great sight. Praise her true highness for the blessings she has brought to us elves! All hail our true queen!" A voice sounding more ancient that even Rhodes himself sounded from the back of the throne room as the backdoor opened.
"It is high priest Jonas! Everybody pay your humble respects to the representative of her true highness!" Rhodes responded immediately, bowing alongside the rest of the court.
Jonas laughed,"Settle down everyone. I bring several pieces of joyous news for our elven kind in this time of darkness."
Rhodes bowed again,"Please, do tell us."
Jonas reached from under his overcoat, pulling out a majestic golden sword about half the height of Rhodes himself.
"Just days ago, her true highness visited us personally, an occasion that happens only once in a blue moon! The only two other times her true goddess has come down to give us her divine command was when she requested help to create the deities of love and when she saw our kind suffering when the world was about to fall to calamity! She presented me this majestic golden sword, forged by herself for king Rhodes Quinn!" Jonas held the sword.
Rhodes came before him, kneeling down and accepting the sword with his own two hands.
This sword was something more leagues more important than most other items in this country, only tying with the previous two times Belle had given gifts.
"I have nothing but awe for her true highness. I will put this holy artefact made by her true highness herself to good use. I will care for it everyday, treasure it as much as I do my own child." Rhodes said respectfully.
