"My king" a man wearing long golden robes and a small altar as its headdress knelt down before Robin who just occupied his gilded black metal throne where a crown of three lightning on a dark moon perched at the top of its back. Robin is wearing heavy gilded robes of purple and black which added to his already muscular body. A crown rested on his sky-like wavy hair that seems to be a miniature of what's above him.
"Arael, you don't seem... pleased" Robin observed.
"I am much more upset, my king" Arael answered with much control on his tone.
"Is this about... the battle?" Robin asked that made Arael clench his teeth.
"We were not able to capture a single Ethereal and we have... lost three Supreme Elysian, my king" Arael hesitated. He has already prepared himself to be hurt but it didn't come, instead the king asked.
"What do you mean by... lost?"
"They have been taken, my king, by those filthy Ethereals. I have tried calling out to them but none has yet to respond. I have also tried to search for their whereabouts, for their life force, but I've not caught even a whiff"
"And? What do you expect me to do? Call them for you?" Arael realized that Robin is getting infuriated.
"N-no my king, there's no need for you to do such a thing. I will keep on searching them" Arael is having cold sweat under his thick robes. He's taking in too much tension.
"Summon everyone in here. Even Yenna, I'll not care what you will do with her if she resists"
"Yes, my king" Arael briskly left the throne room as he reaches everyone's mind.
'We're being summoned to the throne room by the king. Be at haste. He's already displeased by our failure'
He pushed open the heavy wooden door into the queen's room and found Yenna still on her tub with his men massaging her limbs.
"Get her out of the tub and dress her, the king is not to wait" Arael told the men who was about to do what they've been told when Yenna stopped them.
"Don't listen to him. My bath is not even done yet" she muttered like a child being robbed off of her favourite doll. Arael angrily stepped before her tub and pulled her out pushing her to one of the men.
"How dare--"
"I have been permitted Yenna, and I don't serve a queen like you" he hissed.
"Not because you stand on the same level as me, you would treat me like this. I am still the queen, Arael" she angrily spat and shoved the men who was about to assist her.
"You're only the queen by title Yenna. His majesty doesn't recognize you as his wife--"
"Get out!" Yenna barked and shoved her hand towards him. An invisible force, or might just be a strong wind, tossed Arael out of her room and shut the doors close. Arael did not utter any word and waited for Yenna quietly.
It didn't take long when the doors opened again. Yenna has fully dressed herself with a long silk dress of purple and gold and black but still, she's showing too much of her large busts. She's always trying to seduce Robin into her bedchamber but until now, Robin has not given her a single glance. Most of the time, she caught him gazing into nothingness but his eyes spoke of a woman, a woman that will never be her.
She walked ahead of Arael, hastily yet graceful. When they got into the throne room, everyone is already there, except for the three.
"I thought everyone should be here. I say those three should be punished" she commented as she walks towards where the crowd is, in front of the king, on their knees.
