"You may leave now. I'm tired."
Finally, King Gawain I released Arabella. His tone tinged with weariness.
"Copy that. Your Majesty, please rest well," she replied obediently.
Arabella bowed to King Gawain I, and then left the room.
After she left, he sat on the edge of the bed with his gaze deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.
After a long while, King Gawain I finally spoke slowly.
"Someone, summon the Minister of Military Affairs," he ordered.
Soon, the Minister of Military Affairs hurriedly walked over and respectfully asked King Gawain I, "Your Majesty, may I inquire about the reason you summoned me to the palace?"
King Gawain I's initially clouded eyes gradually became clear and sharp. He fixed his gaze on the Minister of Military Affairs and spoke sternly, "How do you assess the massacre of our Xavier Regiment at the border?" Cough...
The Minister of Military Affairs was momentarily stunned. His Majesty has never shown much concern in such matters before. His sudden inquiry today hints that something unusual must have occurred.
"The son of the Minister of Border Affairs, Zedbar, disregarded military orders and independently led troops to surround Basha's Sacred Mount. As a result, our Montiria Xavier Regiment suffered a disastrous ambush. Zedbar should be recalled from his position, detained, and his entire family exterminated."
The Minister of Military Affairs spoke with his head bowed. He failed to notice King Gawain I's increasingly grim expression.
Exterminate his entire family? Then, I, as the king, won't be able to hold my position anymore. The entire royal family would be doomed.
"I believe Zedbar is a hero who bravely defended our country's borders only to be kidnapped by bandits. Our troops approached with a friendly intent to negotiate, but that villain deceived us at Basha's Sacred Mount... Cough... Cough... and ambushed our Montiria Xavier Regiment. What do you think should be done about this?"
King Gawain I's coughing became harder to suppress. As he spoke, he coughed intermittently, resembling a fallen lion.
The Minister of Military Affairs listened below and was dumbfounded by the scene. He thought, The news of Zedbar leading the invasion is already widespread. And now you're saying he was kidnapped and that our troops approached with good intentions to negotiate. Even putting aside whether the international community will believe it, isn't this reasoning a bit far-fetched?
