– Are you ready to sign our agreement? Or would you prefer to go to the best prison in Aden, Your Majesty? – he asked.

The rebellious monarch looked up from his study of the papers and grinned angrily.

The clerk hurriedly picked up the document and put it in the box, which immediately announced with a blue light that there was no turning back, and those who violated the agreement would die. A guard entered the tent and announced the arrival of the guests.

– Duke Ratmir of Oden, Count Luchezar of Rhone, and Count Buslay of Rhone request an audience.

The three of them placed their right hands on their chests and bowed to Robin the First, who returned their greeting with alacrity.

Carefully examining the figures of those who entered, Arthur realized that they all had remarkable physical strength, and this was especially true of the first young man, who was Ratmir of Oden.
