The King of Azalone, Lyon Dracule has dethroned the former ruler of Azalone for his loathsome ways of ruling and has risen the kingdom to great heights. He has a cavalry of twelve men and despite having only a dozen of men as his front he's indestructible. Many kings have tried to bring him down but none has ever succeeded.

"My Lord, the kingdom of Solomon has fallen." Augestine, one of his Royal Knights reported.
"The cause of another witch." Lyon chuckled.
"Yes Milord"
"Usurious!" The King growled.
"I had enough of those witches! They degrade us as lower beings. Ready your horses, I shall bring Solomon's wife with him." Lyon ordered.
Lyon always thought of witches as merely beings wanting more power. He still remembers the passed war which was caused by witches. How they slaughtered people from town to town. But, he himself wasn't so considerate, he had beheaded every witch he had come across to. Now, it had brought him rage. Hearing a witch to be a fellow ruler, it is unacceptable!
Lyon had forced the guards of Solomon's kingdom to lower the draw bridge. The guards obliged knowing that they were in no position to disobey him.
"Chasity!" Lyon yelled as he opened the double doors that led to the throne room.
Chasity Roumes, wife of the deceased King Solomon stood from her newly made glass throne. It was an insult for Lyon to have seen this. After her husband died, she probably, with pride, changed the throne. Lyon let out a dark chuckle from the sudden thought.
"You brazen whore!" His voice echoed through the corners of the throne room.
"How dare you? How could waltz into my kingdom then insult me?" Chasity's voice was rather calm though she felt really offended.
Bevel, one of Lyon's female Knight, halted Lyon and stepped forward.
"Forgive us Queen Roumes, we have compelled ourselves inside your kingdom without your knowledge, and for our uncivilized manners. I see you mourn for your husband's death but as not thoroughly investigated we want to learn the truth." Bevel calmly spoke.
Chasity sighed.
"Leave us be." She ordered the guards. They individually left and closed the door, giving privacy to their Queen, Lyon and his 12 Royal Knights.
"I have kept the truth from the kingdom's people and the other kingdoms. My husband, Solomon......was a-.......assassinated." Chasity was at the verge of crying but fought her emotions.
Bevel gave an assuring smile to her subordinates. The Queen's as clear as crystal, she showed pure verity, every word she spoke reflected hurt and truth.
"I'm sorry for your loss." That is positively the most kindest statement Lyon has ever uttered to a witch.
This time, Chasity fell to her knees and cried. Kendall, another female knight of Lyon, scooted to her side and patted her back.
"He was killed by the...." She gritted her teeth. "The Cloven Shade.. The Cloven Shade Clan killed Solomon. I will never forgive them." Her anger overwhelmed her. The concrete floor started to freeze up from the contact it had with Chasity's palm.
"Calm down Milady."
Chasity pulled her hand and calmed herself.
Lyon is convinced himself of Chasity's innocence but what motive would the Cloven Shade have to kill a noble king such as Solomon?
Lyon's gaze turned to the throne, it was shimmering. He moved behind it and picked a piece of red stone. It looked genuine. He slid it out off his mind and pocketed the stone. He'd do a research about it if he grabs the chance, he simply thought and walked beside Chasity.
"We'll do further investigation about the Cloven Shade's motive and shall inform you if we found anything." Lyon stated and made his way out of the throne room.
Kendall nodded to Chasity before she left her in her own comfort.

Lyon couldn't get a good dig of the Cloven Shade and merely had small information about the ninjas. He groaned after resting the scroll of papers that held the little knowledge about the Cloven Shade Clan.
"Sire." Gilgamesh, a royal knight, bowed. Lyon gestured him to talk as he laid his head back.
"They've caught a witch at the town My Lord."
"Another fuss." He exhaled. "Bring the witch to the palace dungeon. I'll have her check upon after a quick bath." With his order the knight bowed again before taking his leave.
After taking a warm bath, Lyon, as said, went to the kingdom's dungeon to meet the witch. He found it odd as it was the first time they've ever caught a witch on their domain. His name is a lingering nightmare to witches. He's known for slaying hundreds of witches. He smirked as he found it interesting to have a witch drawn herself to his land.
The loud creaking of the bar doors seem to woken the lady. Lyon walked incredibly close to the witch and watched her as she picked herself up from the loathly ground. The king noticed her foreign features and assumed her to be from Jazia(Asia). Though being known to be a witch, he knew she couldn't and wouldn't cause harm. Her eyes showed it all, she intentionally went to the his kingdom and got herself captured but why?
"Tell me minx, what's your name?" Lyon asked, he took her chin and raised her head, having a full view of her beautiful face.
The witch didn't hesitate.
"Cherry, My Lord."
With that Lyon gave the most content smile he ever held.
