[b]A man with a black tuxedo, black glasses, and black hair stands there.[/b]
"You must be Arthur. Hello, my king. My name is Guldan."
English
-
"Ooo... Nice tux..."
-
[b]He sighs.[/b] "Well, I'm come here to train you. Let us begin." [b]He leads Sketch to a courtyard, where he draws a sword.[/b]
-
*He holds Excalibur upside-down.* "Oh no!!! You're going to ruin your tux!!!"
-
"If you can land a hit on me...." [b]He strolls towards Sketch, and flips Excalibur right-side-up.[/b] "Let us begin."
-
*Before he reaches Sketch, he flips it into the air and catches it by the handle.*
-
[b]Guldan sighs.[/b] "Arthur, that is not swordplay...." [b]Time speeds up, and Arthur is 17, the say before his birthday. He speaks to Guldan.[/b] "I trained you well, these 6 years, Arthur."
-
"I was already good with a sword though..."
-
[b]Guldan laughs.[/b] "I'm sure you were, Arthur. Tomorrow, you become a man. And with that, the responsibilities as King fall upon your shoulders. Are you ready?"
-
"F#%& yeah!"
-
[b]Guldan laughs again.[/b] "Good... good." [b]Time speeds forward, and it is Arthur's first day as King. Many had come and gone from the castle, meeting him, and Arthur talked to everybody. Near the end of the day, however, a man ran into the throne room, tears running down his face.[/b] "Please, my King, my wife... my wife is innocent! She didn't... she didn't murder the child...."
-
"What is the evidence against her again?"
-
"Sh-she was found, a-asleep, in our b-baby's room... holding a bloody knife... but she was framed! Framed, I tell you!" [b]Tears roll down the man's face.[/b]
-
"Who might have framed her? Do you have any enemies?"
-
"I-I don't know... but the town is about to execute her! Please, king, I beg of you...." [b]Outside the castle, a woman is about to be hung.[/b]
-
*Sketch goes and sticks his head out the window.* "Hey! You guys! She might be innocent! Could we just postpone this execution for a couple days until we get this figured out?"
-
[b]One of the men throws a tomato at Sketch, and they continue with the preparations to hang the woman.[/b] "Please, my king... you must deem her innocent... let us go outside...."
-
"You dare throw a tomato at your king?!?! I deem that woman innocent but whoever threw that tomato will spend a day in the dungeon!!!"
-
"Th-thank you, my king...." [b]However, the next day, a vigilante had decided to take action in his own hands, and both the woman and the man were found, dead, in their homes. It was later found out, that both the woman and the man were guilty.[/b]
-
"Crap..."
-
[b]Guldan walks into the throne room, looking disappointed.[/b] "Ah, Arthur.... You see, being a king, you must be patient. Gather all the facts. You have the power to overrule anybody else's decision-but you must not abuse that. Not only did you jail a man for merely throwing a tomato at you, but you allowed two murderers to get away."
-
"I was going to continue investigating before I actually let them go... And I panicked a little because of the tomato..."
-
[b]Guldan sighs.[/b] "You have much to learn. However, you also have time...." [b]Time speeds up, and Arthur is 24 years old. 6 years have passed since he made his first mistake as king, but he made sure to never make another one. To be patient. To know exactly how much power he held. And, 6 years of happiness later, the kingdom declared Arthur to be the greatest king of all time. A knight in full armor kneels before Arthur.[/b] "I must say, my brother, I disagree with your decision to allow the building to continue standing."
-
"Which building? There are quite a few of them around here... And quit kneeling, we're all equals here..."
-
[b]The man glares, and stands.[/b] "You know which building, brother. I've been in disagreement with many of your decisions, as of late."
-
"Yes, why is that?"
