CHAPTER 8 : round table

In the capital of the Central Kamelat Empire, in a huge royal hall, armored knights stood guard while white-robed priests chanted the teachings of the church.

There was a circular table in the middle of the hall, and 7 people were sitting around the circle.

Duke Bedwyr , the fastest warrior of the empire and the commander of the strongest military force , immortal legion, blessed by the Lady of the Lake, the winner of Ulun daughter of the giant king Ysbadaden, the holder of the legendary magic spear that cleaves the walls, sat on the side wearing his helmet and full body armor with a blue cloak. He was 190 years old, but he had not lost anything from her youthfully cuz of his power that let him live up too 500 years.

On his left was Duke Percival the Mountain Splitter, in full body armor with a yellow cloak , with the body that you can tell just by seeing it and know it was war trained for 100 years.

On Duke Percival's left was Duke Galahad, the most perfect knight, exorcist of demons, healer of people, blessed by heaven in full body armor with a white cloak and a red cross in the middle of it .

On the right side of Duke Bedwyr, Duke Gavin, who was also known as the knight of the maidens, the elite of the round table, and the protector of the empire, was present in full armor and a black cloak.

To the right of Duke Gavin, Duke Garrett, the Knight of Wisdom and Vision, a knight who was more gifted in magic than swordsmanship, appeared in his seat in full body armor and a red cloak.

On his right was Archduke Lancelot, the unrivaled knight, the invincible knight, the knight of eloquence and love, in full armor and a sky blue cloak.

To the right of Lancelot was the last person, who sat in his place with a full-length rose and a shining cloak of pure gold, he was King Arthur, the warrior king, the great bear, the unifier of the empire and the last word.

In front of him, the place of an old man named Merlin was empty due to his absence, after looking at all the people around the round table, Arthur looked at the other noble knights who were around.

Duke Lionel, Duke Tristan, Duke Bronor, Duke Bluebris, Duke Lacotte, Duke Kai, Duke Ellimore, Duke Lebel, Duke DeGonte, Duke Bruce, Duke Safar, Duke Ector, Duke Lucan, Duke Palamedes, all of them because they are less powerful than people They were around the table, or they had less responsibility in the country, they didn't go around the table, but they all bowed their heads under King Arthur's gaze, in this scene, despite no war situation, everyone was wearing armor and armed, the reason of this was that the people present at the round table were all knights except for Merlin, and another law that Arthur established was that the members present at the round table meeting should be ready to fight whenever and have no fear of war with evil.

As the meeting began, Arthur stared at Lancelot and then looked at Merlin's empty chair, which was on the right side of Bedweer.

"Merlin has been absent from the meetings for some time, give him my word that if he does not appear, another grand master archmage will be invested and then he will take Merlin's place."

At this time, it happened.

"In such a situation, when Mordred's mercenary army is getting closer every moment, and now that Mordred is allied with Vlad the bloodthirsty and has dominated the dark dragon tribe, Merlin has taken his knowledge away from us to face them, I suggest that Let's mobilize his students in Kamlat to find him."

At this time, Garrett hit the table with his iron glove.

"Merlin is the Sorcerer King. We shouldn't kick someone of this level of power out of our ranks for a few small mistakes, that old man will surely be back in a few days."

"Whether it's Vlad or Mordred or the Giant King or the Dark Dragons, a blow from my sword will cut them in half! No need to worry. The major crisis is the sudden appearance of a large number of monsters, some of which are of unknown race. We must deal with Let us think of a solution."

"Sir Percival is right to say that thousands of creatures with strange structures have appeared in the realm under my command."

At this point Duke Gavin got up.

"This is also the case in my regions, I request those who have such a crisis in their region to announce this so that we can act better against this unknown crisis!"

"Death has increased and the pressure on the church to heal the wounded and clear the dark curses has taken a heavy bill on the people and the church."

Arthur raised his hand and called for silence.

"Sir Galahad, ask the pope to attend this assembly regarding the matter of the church, and like Merlin, even though his attendance is optional, he should attend next time , Due to financial losses, we will not collect taxes from the peasants for two month."

Then Arthur looked towards Lancelot and he avoided Arthur's gaze, which caused Arthur to stand up and put his hand on Lancelot's shoulder.

"Regarding those strange creatures that have just appeared, Lancelot will be in charge of the northern position of the battlefield dealing with Dietrich's forces, and will wipe out their existence within our borders, the others will control the areas under their command, Sir Percival and Bedwyr. will be in charge of the south and the others will provide the forces for these two factions, if you have any other suggestions, come forward, including you Sir Lancelot because you are going to face Dietrich's Witches and valkyries!"

Lancelot let out a small but loud breath and stood up.

"Obeying the king's order is my duty and I will try to do it."

After that Lancelot went to the door of the hall and left there, his son Galahad was unaware of what happened between him and Arthur and after his father left he also left the table and the rest of the people were also leaving it, in This time between others leaving Bedwyr went and put his head close to his ear and broke create sound barrier to himself and king Arthur.

"Your wife's betrayal is known only to a few people, your revenge and anger with Sir Lancelot will cause a civil war, I ask you to treat Lady Gionir kindly and refrain from sending her out of the castle, because "The news we have received indicates that Mordred is looking to hunt down the Lady Gionir, and if this happen, the morale of our people will be weakened and we will lose great number of our nobility support."

The veins in Arthur's neck were pumped and his face was red. If his murderous intention was aimed at someone, he could easily kill a person within the rank of Lord.

A few minutes passed and then Arthur put his hand on the back of Bedvir's neck and pressed his forehead to his forehead.

"Never leave me alone, my friend, if Excalibur ever comes out of its scabbard, millions of lives will be lost by the time it goes back to sleep in its scabbard, this sword is not a holy sword, but a curse, and it's driving me madder by the day, The Lady of the Lake, that bastard Lancelot has cursed this sword and wants to drive me crazy, tell Gavin to make the Imperial Guard stronger than before because I've lost faith in the Round Table, I'll give you Gionir too because it won't be long that I can bear him, imprison her in the highest tower of your castle until the current crisis sleeps, then I will decide on her punishment."

Bedwyr bowed and after that Arthur was left alone in the hall of the round table all the gathering lasted 1 hour before king arthur came cuz the free time of the king was limited and when the doors opened again and the servants who saw Arthur quickly closed the door and waited for him to leave the hall first and then enter, meanwhile Arthur's eyes were lifeless, but then he came back to life.

"what an old man"
