A week had passed since the discussion about ocean explorations between King Alfred and his son Arthur.Before then, Arthur had taken out time to see and discuss with Peter Cook, whom he found out to be an honourable and honest man.After which he had taken him to see his father the king, who saw him in the same way.Immediately the king approved of the ocean exploration expedition.Meanwhile, during this time, the Navielian navy, had been instructed to begin detailed preparations for the expedition.Additionally, the Ministry of Finance had also been working together with the Navy under Arthur's supervision to coordinate the financial and logistical aspects of the endeavor.Every step had to be meticulously planned, as this expedition would not only chart new waters but also lay the foundation for Naviel's future maritime ambitions.Arthur awoke early that morning, as was his custom, and set out for a run in the vast gardens of the castle.In an era where physical training for fitnes

After the council meeting with the king, Prince Arthur made his way back to his chambers where he was told by his maid Kristen, that one of his subordinates, by the name of Orvel came looking for him."Where is he now?" Arthur asked."At the castle's garden, my lord." came Kristen's reply.Arthur swiftly made his way there, where he saw Orvel having a nice time, sipping tea and munching on biscuits."Gre....hmm."Orvel mumbles over a biscuit as he sights Prince Arthur walking towards him.Arthur waves his hand as a reply."So what brings you here?" Arthur asks, going straight to the point immediately he takes his seat."Nothing much, your highness. Just some few information I feel you might be interested in.""What?" Arthur asks, not even puzzled at all."Well, remember the last time you talked about seeing through what lies in the other side of the continent.""Yes, I remember." Arthur replied, his interest piqued already."Well I got someone who gave me a few information about the r

The next morning, Arthur woke up early and went out for a quick training session at the training grounds. After that, he quickly returned back to his room, where he took a shower and had a nice well laid out breakfast. Once he finished eating, he set off for the hall as he was informed the previous day about an important meeting with the King and the rest of his cabinet. As he arrived at the meeting room, he came in contact with his father, King Alfred at the door. After a brief exchange, they entered the room together. By the time they stepped inside, the ministers and other cabinet members had already arrived and taken their seats. Prince Erics was also present. The King sat at one end of the table while Arthur took a seat at the other end directly opposite him, with Erics by Arthur's side. The meeting then began. The first item on the agenda was the security of trade in the Leviathan Sea. The commander of the Navielian army, General Ryan Black, was the first to spe

"Hmph! imagine his audacity." Prince Erics said immediately Baron Yates existed the hall.Prince Arthur sighed in response.Indeed these nobles were indeed more than headache, they were like bones stucked on their throats."Well if he knows what's good for him, he better pays up the fine, or face my wrath. Arthur said breaking the silence, after a while."He dare not defaults or else I would have his head hanged on the city walls." Erics adds.........Soon the matter died down, but everyone who heard the news were shocked.The royals supporting the common man?!Unbelievable!But it was true and there was nothing anyone could do to change it.Baron Bates, as instructed, payed the 70 gold coins fined by Prince Arthur.As for his son, Richard, he humbly accepted his fate and took his punishment without any resistance, off course he was afraid of the king's wrath.King Alfred on the other hand heard of the issue but instead turned a blind eye to the issue.He was so busy with other impor

Arthur raised his voice to address them, cutting through the chatter."As I said before, from today onward, I, Prince Arthur, on behalf of my father, the king, will transform Naviel into a better kingdom.""This begins with changing unjust laws and reforming flawed systems. I know that this may sound strange to you, especially after having being through some ugly incidents like this in the past, but I promise you this: I will earn your trust and together with my father, rebuild this kingdom. All I ask is that, you believe in me."The crowd's murmur grew louder, their voices a mix of skepticism and cautious hope.Some doubted that the royal court could truly change, given it's past indifference towards the commoners.Yet some others, recognized a shift in Arthur demeanor and were certain that this prince of theirs, really meant every word he said...........After handling things in the city, Arthur and his guards headed back to the castle.Later that evening, in the his chambers, Ar

The baron turned sharply, his face twisting into a mixture of surprise and disdain. "Who dares interrupt me?" he sneered, his eyes scanning Arthur with contempt.Dressed as a commoner, Arthur's plain attire betrayed existence of his true identity. "Am sure you heard me loud and clear, so there's no need to repeat what I have just said." Arthur said, not taking the Baron seriously.The baron's lips curled into a mocking smirk. "And who are you to tell me what I can or cannot do?"Arthur stood his ground, his voice steady. "A man who won't stand by while a child is beaten over an accident," he said, his gaze unwavering.
