Prince Gregory stood a few feet away as King Potter stood before the Supreme King. Prince Gregory had come to know what his father, the Supreme King, asked of King Potter and was surprised by it. He wasn't even thinking of marriage anytime soon, and he is arranging a marriage for himself with the daughter of his once-enemy.
King Potter had agreed to it. It was obvious from the look on his face that he was not happy with it, but he only agreed to it because he had no choice. Apart from the fact that if he didn't he might not return to Dexon, the Supreme King might continue the war after his death, and that will be very bad for Dexon.
Prince Gregory was sure it was not only King Potter who will not be happy with this arrange marriage the two king are agreeing to, he was sure the Queen Elina the mother of this princess Helen he is to marry will not like this decision, and he was sure some of the chiefs or Lords in Dexon will feel the same. And he wasn't sure yet if the Princess in person would like him, after all, he was known as the evil prince by the people of Dexon since the start of the war when he alone faced up to 50 of Dexon soldiers and burnt all of them alive.
"I'm very happy right now, King Potter." Supreme King Orlando couldn't stop smiling "that we could come to a conclusion and become in-laws"
"I'm glad too, your majesty " King Potter bowed deeply with a smile that didn't reach his ear.
"I'm glad" Supreme King Orlando nodded happily. "So it's time you return to your kingdom Dexon, so you can prepare for the marriage and inform all your people so we can end this two-year-long war with a celebration," said the Supreme King Orlando.
"Thank you, Your Majesty " King Potter bowed deeply again before walking out of the throne room.
"And now, you, my son, Supreme King Orlando, turn to Prince Gregory. Prince Gregory then moved closer.
"Your Majesty?" Said Prince Gregory
"You've heard everything we discussed. I know I should seek your opinion since it's your marriage we are talking about, but at the same time, I'm the Supreme King, so I need no one's permission."
Supreme King Orlando closed the gap between him and his son. "But I don't want to command you to do this as the Supreme King, I want you to do this for me because I ask you to as a father," said the Supreme King.
"I understand, Father, I will do what you want," replied Prince Gregory, and the Supreme King smiled happily.
"But do you think the Princess will want to marry me?" Prince Gregory asked
"Does it matter? She as no choice like her father," replied Prince Gregory.

Later that day, Prince Gregory arranged the return of King Potter to Dexon, and he arranged a small army squad led by Bloodeye to escort the king back to his kingdom.
Prince Gregory also asked Bloodeye to stop by the war camp on his way back and pass the message to warlord Robert the Strong that the war is officially over, and for the troops to return home to their families after two years.
