[b]Royal had always wondered what it would be like fighting the wielder of Excalibur. So he challenged Arthur to a duel.
Royal waits in the dojo [/b]
[spoiler]For Vio but Open![/spoiler]
English
-
"Excellent" [b]The three Royal's explode [/b]
-
[b]Vio walks out, applauding.[/b] "Great! You get Yuria now!"
-
[b]Royal is sitting in the courtyard [/b] "Hell -blam!-ing yeah"
-
[b]Vio looks towards Arthur's room.[/b] "Hmm. It's not like King Arthur to give up like that, however. Especially not for something this important. I wonder what's going on."
-
"Important? He barely knows the girl! But perhaps we should see him."
-
"Neither do you...." [b]Vio leads Royal to Arthur's room. The door is locked, but voices can be heard from inside.[/b] [i]Arthur, you've always been like this. Ignoring what's important.[/i] [u]Look, I'm sorry, Master. It won't happen again.[/u] [i]It better not! Did you see what you almost did?[/i] [u]Yes, I am aware.[/u] [i]Do you want a repeat of the war? Is that what you want? A meaningless slaughter?[/i] [u]Guldan! I said it will not happen again! I swear it on my second life. And yours, too.[/u]
-
"Oh great just what we needed."
-
"What?" [b]Vio looks shocked at hearing Guldan's name.[/b]
-
[b]Royal summons a shadow fist and breaks the door down. [/b]
-
[b]Arthur is sitting at his desk, a man with a black tuxedo, black sunglasses, and black hair beside him. The man looks up.[/b] "[i]Well, Arthur, looks like you have visitors.[/i]" [b]Arthur stands.[/b] "[u]Out. Now. This business does not involve you.[/u]" [b]Arthur seems different than normal. More riled up, and angry. Arthur does not anger easily, not even when he caught Nora with his sword.[/b]
-
[b]Royal's sword forms in his hand and he points it at Guldan.[/b] "Be gone demonic being. You are dead."
-
[b]Guldan simply looks up.[/b] "[i]Well, that was unnecessary.[/i]" "[u]Royal... I don't mind you being with Yuria... but I will not tolerate you speaking to Guldan with such disrespect.[/u]" "[i]Calm yourself, Arthur. Royal. Do explain your anger.[/i]"
-
"YOU'RE DEAD! How else could be here unless you were summoned?"
-
"[i]Arthur was dead, as well. Explain why you are not yelling your head off at him.[/i]"
-
[b]Royal sheathes his sword.[/b] "Because Arthur had enough self respect to actually return. And look at you. Have you even been to see your Legion yet? Does Fentis know!? Vio? Clari?"
-
[b]Guldan sighs.[/b] "[i]Ah, you are angry because I did not speak to my other pupils. I was ancient before I trained Arthur, Royal. In my lifetime, I have had too many pupils to count. As for my legion, I trained Fentis well enough to know that it is in good hands.[/i]" "[u]Guldan, you're taking his backtalk quite calmly.[/u]" "[i]One does not achieve anything through violence, Arthur. I highly disapprove of the... fight... you two just had.[/i]"
-
"I understand the pupil thing. I myself have lost count. And to be fair. He was taking my woman."
-
[b]Yuria peeks in.[/b] "Your woman?!" [b]She sounds angry, then smiles.[/b] "I'm kidding."
-
[b]Royal glances over and grins [/b]
-
"See you, cutie." [b]She leaves.[/b]
-
[b]At that, Guldan laughs.[/b] "[i]Really, I'm surprised Arthur would even be able to think of that stuff, considering his last lover was rаped, tortured, and killed.[/i]" [b]Arthur looks down.[/b] "[u]I was drunk.[/u]"
-
"Uh huh." [b]Royal chuckles as well [/b]
-
[b]Guldan's smile fades away, and his face becomes serious once more.[/b] "[i]However, Arthur and I have things to discuss. It would be best if you left, and fixed the door as you went.[/i]"
-
"Yeah. Sorry about that." [b]Royal leaves. Shadows put the door in place [/b]
-
"[u]Guldan, did you need to go and tell them of Marisa?[/u]" "[i]It no longer matters. I have one request for you, however, before we get to business.[/i]" "[u]Naturally.[/u]" "[i]Do try not to close yourself off to outside contact because of this incident. You might have lost control once, but-[/i]" "[u]I fear for others lives, Guldan. I do not see why any of my actions, besides keeping control over myself, matters.[/u]" "[i]There is more to life than merely living! There is friendship, companionship, trust, and love![/i]" "[u]I no longer care for any of those things. I want to end the sorcerer that brought us back, and then, I wish to return to my eternal sleep![/u]" [b]At that, Guldan is silent.[/b]
