North America / Kingdom of Yorkania (Crownlands of Manhattan): November 10th, 1517.
(Bagdemagus de' Queen's POV)
"Gwenhwyfach. I am not about to support a woman ruling yorkania as regent even if she may be of my blood." Said uther calmly with his arms behind his back as he stared out of the window.
"And you hit a nerve" Thought bagdemagus with entertained eyes as he sat down the tea cup in his hand onto a plate.
Gwen clenched her fists and said stuttering loudly in sync with bagdemagus "B…BUT SHE IS OUR DAUGHTER."
"Even so. Do you really think that a woman ruling yorkania will have a stable and most of all peaceful reign. House queen shall and will remain neutral." Said uther and bagdemagus In sync with a sigh. Bagdemagus sighing in the background.
"As expected. Pride and ego always wins over what is actually Important" Thought bagdemagus with a quiet chuckle as he took a sip of the tea in his hand to moisten his dry throat.
Gwen's jaw clench and said in sync with bagdemagus "Do you really think that women are weak and incapable. That our only use is to provide heirs for men like you that lives in there own pride and ego."
"Y…you…" Said both uther and bagdemagus stuttering in sync with flabbergasted looks on there faces. Bagdemagus laughing silently in the background.
Uther glared back at bagdemagus and said with a serious look on his face "Uncle. Do you mind. This is a serious discussion"
The study was silent. The atmosphere tense.
"Let me give you a poetic piece of wisdom uther." Said bagdemagus with a serious look on his face as he took a sip from the tea cup in his hand to moisten his dry throat.
Uther's face turned serious and said calmly "You have my ear uncle."
"Roses are red, violets are blue, what am I to do when I don't give a fuck about you. Whether you support her or not… she already rules. The only question left is whether you survive under her." Said bagdemagus with a serious look on his face and a wave of his right hand.
The study was absolutely silent. Uther and had ugly looks on his face.
Gwen's face lit up and said with a smile on her face "Thank you unc…"
*BAM*
"SILENCE. I will not hear anymore on this topic or anything that involves instigating it more." Said bagdemagus with a cold look in eyes as he gripped his cane tightly aiming it at both gwen and uther.
Bagdemagus put his cane down and said calmly "Uther. This house will not be neutral in such dire times as this. The world is shifting along with it's views. This means enemies are becoming smarter by the minute and equals nonexistent neutrality."
"Uncle I stand by my word. House queen will not choose a side. I am trying to preserve our Interests by not indulging such petty politics of the current court." Said uther with a sigh as he looked back out the window with his arms behind his back.
Bagdemagus drunk the rest of the tea in the cup and suddenly flung it at uther across the room with a masterful aim.
Uther's eyes widened and dodged.
*Crash*
"Open your eyes boy. Take a good look at who is sitting in this chair. My name is bagdemagus de' queen, bagdemagus the golden of the war of the cracked crown that lasted 11 years and I am not dead yet you unfilial failure." Said bagdemagus with a cold yet dangerous glint in his eyes.
Uther stared at him for a moment and said with a sigh "I am not chan…"
*Knock* *Knock*
The study was silent. Uther, gwen, except for bagdemagus gathered there bearings back while adjusting there throats.
"Come in." Said uther calmly as he adjusted his luxurious attire.
A maid came into the room and curtsied and said nonchalantly "Your graces. His grace lancelot de' brooklyn and gandalore de' staten are here, shall I show them to the waiting chamber."
"Here comes the oldest traitor in history and the boy snatcher" Thought bagdemagus with a snicker as he closed his eyes and snickerd again.
"Show them in. I shall receive them here and also show my uncle and the duchess." Said uther calmly as he glanced at gwen that was glaring at him but looked back out the window with his head held high.
The maid kept her curtsy and said nonchalantly "Yes your grace. This way your grace and highness."
Gwen got up from the sofa and made her way out of the room Immediately with a trembling lip while muttering "Jus wait until tonight in the room."
"Wh…what." Said uther stuttering as his neck tingled slightly.
Bagdemagus shooed the maid away with a gentle grandfatherly smile.
The maid didn't budge in the slightest and waited.
"Get the fuck out or your fired." Said bagdemagus silently with his mouth moving with cold eyes.
The maid left silently and Immediately as two men entered the room. One very old and the other rather flamboyant.
"Welcome your graces." Said uther calmly as he stared out the window.
Lancelot had a closed eyed smile and said calmly as his right eye opened slightly "It has been awhile uther…a very long time."
The study was silent.
"Luckily I intervened in time before things went to far with you both. We don't want that now do we uther. The unique history I must add." Said bagdemagus calmly as he refilled his tea cup.
Gandalore stroked his beard with his right hand as he glanced at bagdemagus momentarily and looked back at uther and said calmly "I have come regarding the situation of your daughter."
"You mean the situation of where you decide who you betray next. Gandalore, I'm even more surprised by how your not rotting next to my own father in the ground." Said bagdemagus with a sigh as he took a sip from the tea cup.
Gandalore looked bagdemagus and said calmly and completely unfazed "I'm amazed how children don't know when to keep there mouths close when the adults are speaking."
"Hahahaha. Speaks the rotten corpse that killed my brother and king augustus vIII In there sleep like a coward." Said bagdemagus with a chuckle and wave of his right hand at gandalore's cowardice.
Gandalore stroked his beard and said with a chuckle "And I don't regret one second of it either, who wouldn't resort to any means necessary for the survival of there family and to keep there wealth and power."
"Well said your grace. Well said." Said lancelot calmly with a gentle closed eyed smile that didn't waver in the least.
Uther had hardened eyes and said calmly "I must ask what do you Intend to do by coming here to inquire about the queen mother."
"Come now my dear uther. We simply wish to know where you stand on the boards we wouldn't want a head to end up on the spike at a ball now do we." Said lancelot calmly as both of his eyes opened slightly. Full of lifelessness.
Uther glanced back at lancelot and said with a sigh "You've changed."
The study was silent. The atmosphere tense.
"Men like me must do what we can do survive." Said lancelot with his eyes curling slightly with nonchalance.
Bagdemagus almost spat the tea from out his mouth and swallowed it while saying with a shakey breath "Hah…I can see that. We wouldn't want any men from house queen walking around with clenched ass cheeks. I'm quite glad I Interviewed while it was in the kissing face."
Uther's jaw clenched tightly. A vein appearing on his neck and said lowly "Uncle. Get out of my study now or I will have you dragged out by my men."
The study was absolutely silent.
"Very well… I shall leave at once, don't have to much fun up in here." Said bagdemagus with a shrug as he got up from the sofa and took his leave from the study.
*Boom*
Gandalore and lancelot looked back at uther calmly.
"House queen is not taking any side on the board. I completely understand that we hold the most power right now in yorkania but that is exactly why we must maintain neutrality as to not have armies headed our way." Said uther calmly with a cold look in his eyes.
Gandalore stroked his beard and said calmly as he started taking his leave "I see. Thank you for your time your grace. I understand now where house staten Intends to stand."
"No. Thank you for your time, your grace." Said uther calmly as he watched gandalore leave the room.
*Boom*
The study was silent. The atmosphere tense.
Lancelot opened both of his eyes and said calmly "How has marriage bee…GAK"
"Don't you dare play those mind games with me you little bitch." Said uther coldly as his right hand gripped lancelot's throat with unreal strength.
Lancelot wheezed for air. His face grinning as he said stutteringly "Y…yes uther, hurt me more. I know you still prefer me over that bitch gwenhwyfach."
"Y..you." Said uther with gritted teeth and haggard breathing. His hand squeezing tigher. Only for him to let go and go back towards the window with his right hand massaging his forehead.
Lancelot rubbed his neck as he coughed a couple of times with a grin still on his face as he said while trying to catch his breath "Hah…you will never forget out me, if it wasn't for that old bastard you would have been mine and I yours."
"Silence. There was nothing between us. It was only a fling." Said uther calmly with a uncaring tone.
Lancelot's right lip curled up slightly and said calmly as he made his way next to uther, his hand reaching between his legs and grabbing something "You said that you loved me more than my sister."
"Ngh~….s…stop." Said uther stuttering and grunting while removing lancelot's hand and shoving him away.
Lancelot had wide eyes momentarily and said with a sigh while adjusting his luxurious attire and taking his leave "Fine. Good day your grace."
*Boom*
"F…fuck, I'm sorry gwen. I'm so sorry arthur, I'm sorry Igraine, I'm sorry sebille, I'm sorry morgan. Blanchefleur Im sorry I only wanted my wife and 5 beautiful children to be happy and live a life secluded from politics." Said uther stuttering as he dropped to his knees with his face in his hands.
The study was silent.
Uther was still for a moment and said stuttering with gritted teeth as a memory of lancelot flashed through his mind in smiling gently in white sheets "F…fuck, I'm hopless, I'm sorry uncle. I've failed this family."
(Morgan's POV)
"Your majesty. What are you doing when it is time for court." Asked percival with a sigh as he looked down at a tall bronze skinned woman in a lavish black and gold baroque style royal gown with heavy lace, jeweled embroidery, and an ornate high crown on head. Sitting on a throne with 4 ladies in waiting fanning her with feathers in the middle of the court yar.
I looked up at percival and said calmly with a sigh "Chancellor wood pecker. I hope you do not expect me to attend court every single day. It is bad for my health and I must have sun once in awhile for the vitamin d."
Percival had a what the fuck look on his face and said with a sigh as he rubbed his face with his right hand "Then I'll Inform you right here then. Your majesty we are seeing steady progress in the food supply and the treasury has steadied around 300,622,789 from the investment you made in the booze business."
"That is good. Now it is time to for me to look into the education system." I said calmly as I grabbed the tea cup from my lady in waiting.
Perceive was silent for a moment and asked curiously "Why is that."
"Because yorkania does not have an education system. It has a tradition of passing stupidity from father to son." I said calmly while putting the tea cup by my mouth as the 4 ladies in waiting snickerd behind me at percival.
Percival sighed and said calmly "Your majesty I bealive that we should n…"
"One need not invade Yorkania by force. Simply wait for one of its educated men to make policy. In simple words lord percival. I do not give a fuck for your disagreement." I said calmly as I took a sip from thr tea cup and placed it back on the plate.
Percival's mouth was agape momentarily and and asked calmly "What do you Intend to change."
"Incompetence. This kingdom's education appears devoted to one noble goal: ensuring no man of rank is ever burdened by thought so I Intend to a class named competence made because yorkania schools produce men who can recite lineage, butcher latin, and still fail to count a treasury. I find it astonishing how many years a man may spend studying only to emerge more useless than when he began, the schools of yorkania have done what no enemy army could—they have weakened the kingdom from within." I said calmly with a resting bitch face as I looked back down at the tea in my lap.
Percival was silent. His eyes closed in utter shame.
"At this point, teaching the pigeons to read may improve governance." I said calmly with a shrug as I took another sip from the tea cup and sat it back down onto the plate.
Perceval rubbed his chin for a moment and said with a serious look on his face "I agree your majesty. We should Improve education, this kingdom is to focused on fighting and should be taught Intellectually to."
There was no response. The four ladies in waiting continued fanning.
"Your majesty…" Said perceval with confusion while opening his eyes and looking at me that was staring down at my tea cup.
The four ladies in waiting stopped fanning with worried looks on their faces.
Perceval poked my hand. No response.
"Y…your majesty." Said perrceval stuttering as he put his finger by my nose. His eyes widening in shock.
Perceval Immediately threw the tea cup off of my lap and picked me up from the chair said screamed with desperation as he sprinted towards the castle with the four ladies in waiting following after him "CALL THE ROYAL DOCTOR THIS INSTANT. THE QUEEN MOTHER ISN'T BREATHING."
…
THE END…
