22 The war games (1/2)
Right now my face is all black. I'm sitting in the living room with Mordred at my right and Arturia seated in the couch in front of us. Looking at that silly face makes my blood pressure to skyrocket and my anger is no subsiding at all.
”What happened in the kingdom? Tell me everything you know but before that… Moon, could you please make that only the Knights of the Round Table can hear us, I don't want someone sniffing this conversation” (Lucius)
{Understood user, canceling video and audio feed to the other forces, Galahad, Lancelot, Gawain, Perceval, Bors, Tristan, Lamorak, Gaheris and Kay are connected to this feed} (Moon)
”You can speak now” (Lucius)
Arturia listening to that begins to tell Lucius what really happen
”Well the thing is that Julius Cesar together with Ying Zheng attacked our kingdom from two different fronts. At first the battles were only skirmish but after a few months a cease fire was made, the reason for that was because the wedding of Nero with Gilgamesh; together with the other knights we decided to send a delegation to congratulate the weeding. I don't like Gilgamesh so I send Tristan with a few gifts in my representation, everything went well Tristan returned and the cease fire was lifted, a few more months we captured the enemy generals of the two sides that attacked us.
Until that moment everything went very well we achieved to annexed a part of the other two kingdoms as collateral for the ransom of Lü Bu and Marc Anthony. As you know there exist five Kingdoms that are the largest: Uruk (Gilgamesh), The Saint German Empire (Karl), Asirya (Semiramis), Mongolia (Altera) and Alexandria (Iskander). There were others that wanted to create more kingdoms, two of them were the ones that attacked us Roma and Great Xia. In this case our Kingdom The Holy Empire of Knights is one of the medium ones.
The smaller kingdoms united and created a Republic known as the Federation, in there the Aztec, Egyptian and India banged together with the Nordic Kingdom that Medb is the Queen. We are surrounded by sea in the east a mountain range that is the frontier with Great Xia in the west, in the south the dessert connects with Mongolia and the north is home of The Aztecs ruled by Moctezuma the war lord.
After the weeding of Gilgamesh and Nero they decided to visit the capital city of every kingdom as a form of political might, after all with the weeding of Nero and Gilgamesh Galia was annexed by Uruk and they became much stronger.
At first, every Kingdom became alert about this but the new spouses were only talking and sightseeing the kingdoms. When they reached the frontier with us, we invited them to Camelot and all was fine. But after they left riots started to take place in the capital, at first were only a few dissatisfied voices but later increased to a coup leaded by Julius Cesar. I was confronting him when he calls Sherezade to help him and in the end I lost. We fleed to the dukedom of Galahad that is part of the Kingdom and before I could make more plans I was summoned here.” (Arturia)
After listening to the history I made a call to Galahad and ask him about the actual situation.
”We lost the capital city and the lands that we acquired in the last war; thanks to Tristan and Bors we were able to stop their advancement but the situation is dire” (Galahad)
I listened that and started to speak with Arturia.
”Arturia I will tell you what to do, Moon gave Arturia the ability to communicate with the Knights; first of all you didn't make many mistakes Arturia so I'm more relaxed knowing the situation, second the capital city is a trap devised by me, if you are wondering why, that's because there doesn't exist only one capital. According to the rules set in the game a city became a capital when they have a minimum of one million habitants and an area of about Ten square kilometers, in our case the city is in the form of a ring with a radius of three kilometers but I found a loophole in the rules.
Our total population is 36 million, and we have ten dukedoms with each one having a city of ten square kilometers at minimum, the population in the capital city is of 6 million but the rest is divided between the dukedoms therefore we have eleven capital cities according with the rules.
I devised this because I knew that when I leave the throne of heroes, a lot of idiots will try to take the kingdom from your hands. When I was there, every one of them decided to leave us alone because all their plans were useless and you are one of the most powerful heroes, so they decided to never mess with us. Emperor Ying was the first that I killed when I saw how he manages his kingdom. The other one was the fatso Julius Cesar and the last one was Altera when the only thing she did was plundering the nearby villages. As you know only five war games are held in this time. The losers in the last game became homeless and they sell themselves as mercenaries, in our case we commenced as Mercenaries that were for hire, with my business sense I amassed a fortune and that was also the time that we took down the fatso and decided to make a Kingdom. I did all that because of Mordred and that she desired to see you as a king, so I give you a new Kingdom and I took the position as Prime Minister. I used all my talents to make the Kingdom prosper and you with the other Knights will be the muscle in case of war.
But is better that I give you a punishment for falling in the trap of Gilgamesh, Nero, Fatso and Ying Zheng. If you are wondering why the trap of so many, well that is because you are and IDIOT!
How in all hells you fall for the same trap that I used to kill Julius Cesar in the first place! Your brain is made of muscle or what?! You don't remember that we did the same thing! In that time i decided to incite a coup with Spartacus as the leader of the revolutionary army; when the two confronted in their last battle we sneaked and started to kill all the officials in the government, the generals were captured and I took control of the entire economy from the shadows. In the end Spartacus lost but I told you that Julius Cesar was tired of battling and with the help of the people you killed him with Excalibur. In the end that the war game was over and we became the rightful owners of the new kingdom, after that because I told you to not reveal my position I went and became a consultant as a covert agent to other kingdoms. In the end we took three more kingdoms and became a medium size Kingdom.
Other thing that makes me mad is that you know that Nero and Julius Cesar are in a way family and that he hasn't forgotten the humiliation in his defeat, besides how are you so stupid to battle him if you know that he has Sherezade in his side.
You don't remember that Sherezade is the bane of every person that is a king! She has the trait of Anti-King in her veins for God's sake! If you confront her ten times you will lose ten times!
Mordred as your Prime Minister I give you the right to punish this foolish person that has the guts to call herself as a King. You are hereby ordered to spank her one hundred times! ” (Lucius)
Mordred at first was shocked but later she was walking with a smile to her Father. I know that she always wanted to spank her father for a lot of reasons. Arturia was blushing and tried to escape but I took the poison chains and rendered her immobile.
Mordred with dexterous hands started to strip Arturia from her armor and only when she was with her inner cloth (that didn't cover anything important and DAMN! What size are those!) Was the moment that she started the punishment.
At first Arturia was making treats like
”You dare to lift your hand at your father! I never raise such an ungrateful daughter”
”Mordred you will pay for this”
But after a few more spanks she was sobbing
”Mordred please stop this”
”I know my wrongs, stop your hand please!”
And later a few moans were escaping her mouth, when I heard that I make my way to the kitchen and took a bottle of whiskey. A long time later Mordred was walking in my direction with a satisfied smile in her face. I went to the living room when I saw a sobbing Arturia hugging her knees and in the corner of the room crying and saying.
