Striking a Deal

"And as it turned out, Myrkidhr is actually of a noble Minthian bloodline, and his royal blood is purer than mine." 

It's as if all life on Earth and on the World of Lucid flashed before Yuuta's eyes as he realized the gravity of the words that King Faier had so plainly told him. He wasn't the only one that was speechless, even the King's Personal Guards didn't speak a word as well. When the gasp escaped their mouths like trapped air being popped out of a balloon, the King's Personal Guards, including Argos and Rhyu hovered motionlessly still. One wouldn't really call them standing since their appendages almost didn't touch the ground.

"Oh King, what do you propose we should do?" Argos asked, glancing towards Yuuta and urging him to speak up since the atmosphere had shifted into an awkward one.
