Surprisingly, the king’s twin brother sat atop the throne. He was more or less known -more a rumor in the kingdom than a known reality. Though every guard knew of his existence, and that he preferred doing his own thing, leaving the kingdom mostly to Markus. Though Markus granted his brother the same powers -though he had to agree to it.
“Chop her fingers off.”, Arthur said, smirking right back at the girl. He was more lazing in the chair than anything. Other than his clothes, he looked just like his brother -which had sometimes led to a bit of confusion when someone requested an audience or was brought here, and had never seen Markus personally before.
Arthur was aware that wasn’t going to happen, Markus wouldn’t just hurt someone like that, but he was also aware as long as Markus couldn’t be here, she would at the very least be locked away.
