Chapter 118: Arcadia
Chapter Hundred-Eighteen – Arcadia
(Kingdom of Damancas, Main Palace)
Inside the tall walls of the palace, adorned with rubies and red stones, a tall soldier in a white armor with golden pleats marched towards the Main Hall.
The soldier was greeted by two guards in front of the huge white gate that stood as entrance to the palace. The soldier nodded in response and strolled in.
Inside, the soldier took off their helmet, and flung their golden brown hair proudly, their blue eyes shimmering with pride at another victory.
With knees to the ground, the soldier greeted. "Hail The King! Hail The Queen! Arcadia Nanika had returned with another victory! Barona has been defeated!"
On the podium sat the King on a high throne having every inch of its golden body covered in emerald. The Queen’s throne had similar grandeur.
A soft smile graced the Queen’s face and her brown eyes gazed lovingly upon the General at her feet. "Rise, my dear Arcadia. With another victory, I give you the Second Prince’s hand in—"
"I refuse, your Highness!" Arcadia bellowed with a frown.
There was silence in the room.
Then the King broke into a guffaw, patting his pouting wife gently. The Queen looked away from Arcadia, her fingers tapping the arms of her throne.
"Now, Now, Arcadia. Our son isn’t so bad. He might be the next King to Damancas, you know, and you’re a strong reliable woman." The King kept on laughing.
