Chapter 6 State of Affairs in Lion's Pride Kingdom
Captain Draco Maximus Draconus Totem commander of the Lion's Pride Shadow forces: "Sorry For the interruptions your Majesty, however, we did suffer heavy casualties among our soldiers and our wizards, there are more than a thousand soldiers dead, a few thousands of knights dead and another couple of thousands of wizards dead, those who survived are injured and with magic deficiency syndrome,"
Minister of Finance Ivan Abraham McMoney VonStash: "Sire, the royal reserve treasure vaults are nearly empty, the personal treasure vaults of the royal family are half empty, the nation's treasure vaults are completely empty, the emergency treasure vaults are nearly depleted, the financial situation has become unstable during the last 4 decades,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "WHERE HAS THE MONEY BEEN DISAPPEARING TO???! EXPLAIN IT TO ME NOW!!!"
Minister of Finance Ivan Abraham McMoney VonStash: "Please sire, calm down, the kingdom has been spending on military, reconstruction of our borders, diseases that have been rising in the last 12 centuries, medical research, transportation of products that don't grow in our nation, repair of roads, city Improvements, hiring of more staff, medications from other countries, investigations of nobles who are suspected of crimes and treason,"
Captain Draco Maximus Draconus Totem commander of the Lion's Pride Shadow forces: "how did the situation reach such a dire state? How did so many disasters lead to our financial downfall?"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "I've been suspecting so many of those disasters were provoked, so I've had my private spies investigate, however, the investigations led to certain noble families, unfortunately due to the lack of evidence as to which individual or individuals of each of those noble families committed treason, that is where the evidence stops. If the investigation does not lead anywhere else, I will be forced to order the immediate execution of all of the members of each of those noble families along with the execution of their accomplices, there's one more day for the deadline however, due to the reports this morning and the attack a few moments ago, I am now forced to give the order of the execution of those 500 noble families and their accomplices, it is quite unfortunate the so many will be executed without being able to know if only certain members of each of those families were innocent or if all of them were guilty, this is the exact type of situation that I despise dealing with but there is no choice,"
Pedro Ernesto VonMarker VonStratos: "I apologize for the sudden interruption madame Ashley Andrea McChef VonStructure, may I ask where is there a bathroom in which my brother and I may change our clothing?"
Head Maid of the royal palace Ashley Andrea McChef VonStructure: "By the end of the hall there is a large bathroom for guests with a jacuzzi inside, also since this might be your first visit to this realm, 3 months here is equivalent to a day in the human realm, and thank you for returning back to your human forms after the battle was over,"
Alexander Arthur VonMarker VonStratos: "Thank you for the information, and thank you for the advice, madame Ashley Andrea McChef VonStructure,"
Narrator: "as the VonMarker Twins were getting closer to the bathroom for guests that was at the end of the hall, they suddenly began feeling nausea, because of this they began to run as fast as they could towards the bathroom, just seconds after entering the bathroom an entire ball of web came out of their mouths, shortly after recovering their breaths, they began experiencing intense pain to the point of collapsing from the pain, by the time they regained consciousness, they were now 3 meters tall with a much higher muscle density, with 6 eyes on their face, and longer hair, the rest of their appearance still resembled that of a human being, after realizing their physical changes, the twins looked themselves in the mirror, and could not avoid screaming, when Professor Strange heard their scream he went to the bathroom in which they were in, along with madame Ashley Andrea McChef VonStructure, Princess Sonia Sofia Rafael VonArcher, by the time they arrived, they found spiderweb around the walls and ceiling, the professor was the most surprised by their change in appearance,"
Professor Julius Picard Strange VonStrangle: "What happened to YOU??? ARE YOU OKAY?? HOW DID YOU END UP LIKE THIS?"
Pedro Ernesto VonMarker VonStratos: "We were on our way to the bathroom, when all of a sudden, we felt intense pain, then after arriving just as we crossed the door, a ball of web came out of our mouths, shortly after we regained our breaths, we felt intense pain before falling unconscious, by the time we regained consciousness, we were like this, when we looked in the mirror, we couldn't avoid screaming from the shock,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "We heard screams, we came as soon as we could, who are you? Wait, are you Pedro and Alexander?"
Alexander Arthur VonMarker VonStratos: "Yes your majesty, we are,"
King Richard Rafael VonSplinter: "By the gods!! That means you are also descendants of arachnids, the fact that you just experienced such transformation, means that you've matured and some of your spider powers have awakened, judging by how it looks here, you can't control your webbing, I was going to have you undergo training to master your spiritual magic, in every possible situation, but it seems you also need additional training so that you can master your newly awakened powers, I will send a request to the arachnid realm for someone who is experienced in combat to come and train you, for now I will request to the royal tailor to make special clothes for you, in the mean time you might need something to cover yourselves with so that people don't misunderstand what happened,"
