Saul was brought before Cecil, because it was only two years, Cecil and Rosa hadn’t really aged at all. One of Saul’s escorts walk up to the king and stood at attention.
“Lord the assailant who tried to take your life is here before you, he put up no resistance.”
“Very good” Cecil responded. “Two of you return to your posts the other two please guard the door.” Cecil felt there really was no need for such a thing, but he couldn’t look sloppy in front of someone who tried to kill him. Saul was standing a ways away from the throne, he could probably make quick work of Cecil right then and there if it weren’t for the fact the guards took his bow and all his arrows. He stared at Cecil with a blank uninterested look on his face.
Cecil began to speak. “You are branded with attempted murder of my life, before I press charges, I’d like to know your motive in doing so.”
Saul looked puzzled for a second but the expression quickly died. “Orders” he soon said.
“Just following orders?” Cecil joked. Saul was tempted to smile due to Cecil’s cocky attitude.
“Just following orders” Saul replied in a similar joke like tone. Cecil smiled at the young man.
“I sense something a bit deeper in you. You hate me, and yet you don’t know if you really do or not, I want to know what THAT motive is.”
Saul sighed, realizing what the paladin had just done. It sure was hard bluffing someone who could cast Libra and literally read you like a book. “I want- wanted revenge.”
“Continue” Cecil said after Saul’s dramatic pause.
“A long time ago, you and a dragoon used bomb monsters to set the village of mist on fire. You killed every summoner in the village, including Rydia’s mother. For a while I was also convinced that Rydia too was dead.” “Rydia’s mother was my step mother, and her loss hurt me almost as deep as I’m sure it hurt Rydia. I wanted revenge, Zemus gave me such an opportunity.” No one had noticed because of Saul’s cloak, but he had snuck out a piece of charcoal and had begun to write out a chant for a summoning spell on the back of his shirt.
[Saul's anger began to swell in him and a dark aura began to cover his body.]
“AND NOW YOU CARELESSLY GIVE ME YET ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY!” As Saul shouted this he spun his cloak to his front side revealing the summoning circle on his jacket. A Dark Grenade quickly spawned next to him, and he was lit and ready to blow.
“I will kill you even at the cost of my own life.”
