There are both good and evil witches in the country; the evil witches are the ones who have made it this far, and the good witches appear to be the ones who pose the greatest threat. 

"Banishing Your Highness, the witches from the land will bring a terrible reputation to you only days after you are crowned king, and they will do this because they do not know of any other method to combat the evil witches." Sir Frederick is opposed to the motion made by the King. 

"It is quite understandable that you are afraid of the bad witches, but we all know how important the good ones are to the country; we can't just take the good ones out of the country if we do; something very bad will befall us if we don't take care of it," Sir Leonard continued. "We all know how important the good ones are to the country." 

The king is the head of the country and sits in the middle of a round table surrounded by his elders and councils. The king is said to have had six elders or councils, and all of them gave the king their feedback on the new motion he had proposed. 

"Your Highness, the witches, who we know also killed our late King David, are definitely important to us, but they have done more harm than good to the country; taking away our beloved king is something we have to take into consideration," Sir James bitterly stated his opinion to the king. "Your Highness, the witches who also killed our late King David, definitely they are important to us, but they had done more harm than good to the country," 

"My king, the good witches had saved us from so many dangers in the past, starting from the fluid, the war with the Vikings, and the plague. My king, we can't banish the witches; we have to regulate it, like your father did, and get the bad ones to justice," Sir Jim voiced his own personal opinion. "My king, the good witches, had saved us from so many dangers in the past, starting from the fluid, the war with the Vikings, the plague." 

Everyone is sharing their thoughts, and the king is simply sitting there listening. 

"Your Highness, first you have to do what you think will benefit your rule as the king of England; expelling the witches will be a plus to your rule; at least we can say you don't have time to fear for your life in the palace, but the other way you will lose some of your people's belief that you can lead them to glory; letting the witches stay and regulate their way of working; getting to punish the bad ones will also bring hatred to your name, and enemies will surround the palace.

"The king will always have enemies," Sir Thomas said as he concluded his speech, "and banishing the witches will make our foes beyond the border attack us; they will assume there will be no witches to tell the king about their assaults." 

Within the coven of witches, there were both good and evil practitioners; the former were similar to fortune tellers and healers, while the latter practiced evil spells to cause death and bring the spirits of the dead back to life in order to harm the living. The latter were one of the primary contributors to King David's tardiness; having angered the evil witches to such a degree, they were now actively working against the king on a spiritual level, which was King Alfred's greatest concern. 

My father always wanted peace, but we can't keep finding peace in the midst of our enemies and let them keep destroying us every day; we need to put an end to it. Let's adjourn this meeting; you all need to go and think about this, and our next meeting will be on Monday. I know about all this—the hatred, the attack—and am aware that I will lose some of the trust of my citizens; however, we have to do what is good for the country. The witches had 

The gathering came to an end, the elders left the palace, and the palace guards who were standing within the door opened it as the elders left the palace to go to their own homes. The king was sitting inside the palace when the prince entered. 

Prince Oliver welcomed his majesty by saying, "Greetings, your highness." 

King Alfred said, "You're welcome, my prince." "What's bothering you since your face doesn't express any happiness?" 

The king admires the handsome features of the prince, but the prince is unhappy since his mother wants him to hire a male maid rather than a female maid, and the prince prefers a female maid. 

"Father, I want a maid—definitely not a male maid like mom wishes me to get; I need a female maid; is that much?" prince Oliver responds to his father when he asks for a maid. "Father, I need a female maid; is that much?" prince Oliver asks his 

His father laughed as he expressed his surprise at his son's expectations. 

"Son, there are many maids in the palace, both female and male; you can call on any of them to do your chores, and there is no law against you calling any of them," King Alfred told his son. "Their is no law against you calling any of them," King Alfred added. 

Prince Oliver clarifies for his father what he is truly talking about by saying, "I am talking about a personal maid; I need a female maid." 

"Haha, Oliver, you are the prince; you want a personal maid; it doesn't matter whether she is male or female; get yourself a maid, and find a wife for yourself; you are twenty-five; I married your mom when I was twenty-three," King Alfred joked to Oliver. "Get yourself a maid, and find a wife for yourself; your twenty-five; I married your mom when I was twenty-three." 

The prince made no more comments; instead, he merely walked out of the castle while shaking his head.
