Chapter Ten: Am not a pushover(2)
" I will fight it out with you, how dare you humiliate me you piece of trash " Aspas yelled at Dion in frustration and was about to fight him.
" My Princeps " A voice interrupted them and they all turned to see who that was only to see a robust and handsome well built man with broad shoulders sauntering in. Aspas who was in battle mode withdrew his powers.
" Greetings General Atlas " Aspas said with a bit of annoyance.
" Greetings General Atlas " Zephyr followed suit.
" Greetings General " Dion spoke calmly in a neither service nor humble manner.
" Here is neither a battle ground nor a war ground, you all should maintain decorum " Atlas voice thundered as he looked at them, when his eyes met that of Aspas and Zephyr they turned their face away only Dion met his eyes and smiled.
" Yes General " they said in unison and departed, Dion resumed his journey back to his courtyard while Aspas dragged Zephyr and went the opposite direction.
" Phew " Atlas heaved a sigh of relief and was glad that nothing unpleasant happened.
" Have you seen His Majesty the Archon " Atlas asked a guard nearby.
" Yes Lord General, His Highness is at the training ground " The guard replied.
Atlas only hummed and left in search of His highness.
When Atlas left, the guard that spoke released his breath he never knew he was holding and turned to look at a guard stationed close to him who only smiled at him slightly and guessed that maybe it was his first time talking to the General.
*** AT KÒRINTHOS ROYAL PALACE **"
** IMPERIAL COURT ROOM **
Ariston was seated on the throne listening to the reports in the imperial court.
" My lord, our people at Gaza are trying to rebel " Viscount Eudamidas reported
" What about the Baron situated over there " Ariston spoke in exasperation
" Reporting to his highness, the matter there has gone beyond my control and I am unable to pin them down forgive me My Lord " Baron Origen said humbly
" Why are you telling me!!! " Ariston roared " Send some hoplite's army and kill those bastards challenging my authority "
"Bu...but Your Highness " Baron Origen was terrified by the Archons anger and tried to convince him.
" Case Closed "
The Duke, Marquis, Baron, Earl and Viscount present all tried to reason with the Archon but it was all futile.
In a commanding tone " Dismiss " Ariston said and trotted out of the Court Room.
The Court members present began conversing among each other as they left.
" He does not have the decisiveness of a true ruler " Viscount Eudamidas spoke angrily
" Shhhh, If you do not want to see your neck rolling on the ground the walls have ears " Duke Phineas shunned him.
" The Kingdom is bound to fall under the reign of Archon Ariston " Marquis Krantor said while looking at the sky.
*** ASGARD ***
** TRAINING GROUND **
When Atlas arrived at the training ground, he saw Archon Charis practising with his bow and arrow.
" Greeting to His Imperial Majesty " Atlas said and knelt down
" No need for all these titles Atlas, I have told you we are brothers there is no need for such titles in private "
" Bu..but " Atlas tried to refute
" No buts, we have gone through thick and thin together so therefore no need for such title among us " Charis shot the last arrow and turned to face Atlas.
