Tristan Ashura - Special Chapter 11
Eurus Continent, United Kingdom...
Capital, Treadway mansion...
Dining room...
- Persival Treadway (looks at Morgan): Until, your father, the late King Heinrich, how can I say this... (sighs): A mysterious enemy appeared, called Cheon Lou-Bah. Extremely strong, left the king on the verge of death, but the worst was not that, he used the black Qi reversal technique on the king's head, the king went crazy, changed, and the patriarch of Ashura ordered us to keep this business in our hearts. The king got out of control, stopped reigning, became aggressive, began to sink into drinks and women, until some of the patriarchs using their cleverness offered the king their daughters, to fortify their houses, and receive protection, with having the king's children, princes in their families, came privileges...
- Jarvis Sun (sitting, thoughtful): Cheon Lou-Bah? That name is strangely familiar...
- Lancelot Chamberlain (seated, looks at Persival): Did they invoke the Law of Pendragon?
- Arthur Treadway (with veins on his face, looks coldly at Tristan): Did your father hide this from my mother?! From me?!
- Tristan Ashura (sweating, scratches his head): Not quite, I'll explain later...
- Emma (looks at Tristan): Explain what?
- Tristan Ashura (sighs): One subject at a time, speak Persival...
- Persival Treadway (looks at Lancelot, smiles): They didn't invoke the law, they didn't have to...
- Arthur Treadway (outraged): How do we invoke the Law of Pendragon?
- Morgan Treadway (laughing): The Constitution of Pendragon, is a set of supreme laws that work in the United Kingdom, one of these laws is that a king, descendant of Pendragon is obliged to have a wife, or wives, it is not optional, he has to continue his name, he has to have at least three heirs, and when a king says: "I don't want to have a wife, Either I don't want to get married, or I don't think about it, or I don't want to have children." The elders, or the elder who hears this, can invoke the law, and invoking this law, the king will have to marry one woman from each of the twelve houses, having children with the twelve women. If the king refuses, he will be dethroned, but not only that, you can invoke the law when any law is broken...
- Lancelot Chamberlain (looks at Arthur): For example, if you, as Pendragon's heir, and successor to the throne, say that you don't want to be king, the elder, or elders could invoke the law, and you would have to take the throne, otherwise you would be killed, because it is also stated in the law that it is mandatory for a successor to be king, it is not optional...
- Arthur Treadway (looking at Lancelot, sighs) "Clever, very clever Lancelot. Alfred, transfer the entire Pendragon Constitution to me.": You're having fun with this...
- Alfred (in Arthur's mind) "It will be done as soon as the boss is alone."
- Emma (looks at Tristan, curious): Now it's your turn Tristan...
- Tristan Ashura (exchanges glances with Arthur, sighs)
- Arthur Treadway (looks at Tristan): He's an Ashura...
- Everyone (stand up): WHAT?! ARE YOU PART OF THE ANCIENT FAMILY?!
- Astrid (puts her hand on her chest, takes a deep breath): Since you two arrived, my life has been very hectic...
- Lancelot Chamberlain (looking at everyone, raises an eyebrow): Did you not know this?
- Persival Treadway (looks at Tristan, smiles): I thought you weren't going to say...
- Tristan Ashura (smiles): We're all opening up, aren't we? So, I'm the son of the patriarch, the youngest...
- Arthur Treadway (hands on his chin): A lot, and you took over as the patriarch of the Treadway?
- Persival Treadway (sighs): I had no other choice, I was the only male descendant of Pendragon around here, I was the last on the succession list, I had to take over...
- Morgan Treadway (smiles): We found out that the queen, and the prince were on the run and probably dead, we had to organize ourselves after the death of the king and former patriarch...
- Arthur Treadway (sighs, stands up): Well, I'm going to sleep. The rest we'll talk tomorrow...
- Persival Treadway (stands up, tries to stop Arthur): But already? I still wanted to show you your office, and everything that has to do with the Treadway house...
- Arthur Treadway (leaving the room, waves): Tomorrow, Persival...
- Lancelot Chamberlain (sighs): At least now he wants to fight for his people...
- Jarvis Sun (with his arms crossed, sighs): He does not want to fight for his people, he wants to fight for himself...
- Persival Treadway (smiles): That's a starting point. I said that I just needed to show a few things, and he would change his mind...
The rest you already know, then came the attack on the academy, where he killed Jin. Maybe, maybe I'm talking nonsense, but we all miss him...
- Tristan Ashura (sitting in a circle of people, looks at a woman in a garden): But she feels it more than all of us...
- Aurora (in the garden, looking up at the sky)
