[TAMIKO]
The king was no longer in sight, but the stench that he had come with was still lingering in the air. It was somewhat disappointing what the king had been reduced to, but then it was reassuring to some extent, knowing that he had done all of this for the sake of his son.
He had traveled away from Kawai, without considering the dangers and the possibilities of treaties getting broken outside of Kawai. He had risked it all and clearly, if he had to do it again, the man would choose his son over everything.
And perhaps that was the first thing that gave the realm and the enemies within, a pointer, a reminder of what it felt like to have the king back or maybe a reminder that once again, the big bad cruel mad king had something to lose.
War, finally!!!!
