The Sun Court
The disaster in Yemaya had finally been dealt with, the monsters plaguing the city were gone and many of the people who were dead or lost were now alive and back in their city. For all the harm he had done, Michael still managed to be a great help in setting things right, but Linneus still did not approve of the man or condone his actions. Not even when it seemed that some did. New of the changing emotions of the people traveled fast and Linneus listened. People were praising him and The Order and holding them in such high esteem that their only equal seemed to be the divine. The King disapproved and made his stance known to all who would hear him. There were no gods on the battlefield that night and he was a follower of Leilosis. Even so he became the subject of a cult thanks to rumors and misinformation. But perhaps the most shocking news of all was the response of the crown to all of this. "A traitor?!" The King had a meltdown as soon as he heard the words leave the messenger's lips. "I am branded a threat to the nation after doing my duty and saving my people?!" He'd spent the entire night agonizing over the current state of things and even some time crying. It seemed for all good he aimed to achieve, his fellow nobles were ready to just as much bad.
All of Sol was a somewhat unfamiliar place with the changing atmosphere making Linneus uneasy in his own lands. A cult had moved into the territory and some even into Osun and their fanatic beliefs were causing him political trouble. On top of that, people were fleeing Ryke and coming to Sol under the impression that Linneus and The Order could keep them safe or even fend off death. While he was happy to give these people shelter after Ryke had failed to protect them, this was not the way he had hoped to do things. So he called some of the most trustworthy people he knew, as well as some of the most powerful and the wisest, to seek their counsel in these trying time.
King Linneus Light
The following morning Linneus awoke with a bad feeling brewing in the pit of his stomach and he wasn't sure what to do about it. But his court and his guests had assembled and he couldn't keep them waiting. He descended the stairs and moved through the corridors of the castle at a slow pace, as if stalling for time while he battled the uncertainty inside himself. The options before him were both risky and one of them would risk the lives of a great many people. This was the part of nobility he had yet to face and had been dreading. These choice which he would agonize over even on his deathbed.
"Good morning all and welcome to Sol I guess" The King's voice entered the throne room before he did, carrying a hint of teasing as he joked about the situation. Seeing the court bathed in the golden light of the sun warmed his heart and reminded Linneus that he should smile. "I am sorry for the delay. " He moved across the room to the throne where he looked to all the people who he had assembled and then nodded his head. Chairs had been situated in a semi circle before the throne so that he may hear and see them all equally. And t prevent them from having to stand. "Thank you all for coming on such short notice, we appreciate your continued partnership." Linneus then sat down and although he wore a smile to brighten the room, his posture suggested he was defeated and exhausted.
"I want to begin by making it known I do not support this cult that seems to have sprung up around us all and I am sorry that The Order has been dragged into this mess with me. I also want to say that while Michael did the unthinkable, I do not approve of his actions or the priase heaped upon him by the rest of the people." With a wave of his hand, Linneus' guards closed the doors and stepped outside the room, giving the group inside some privacy.
"I am officially King of my own nation and while that would permit me to do great good...it comes with the threat of impending warand the potential loss of many innocent lives. So I have asked you all here to hear your thoughts on the situation. The crown of Ryke has offered me a trial, a chance to prove my innocence, but I fear that those who put me in this position will see to it I fail. That would be fine with me, I would give my life for peace..." He now sat up with his chest slightly poked out and his head held high. "...but I would fear for the safety of those I leave behind. People have come to Sol from Ryke after Ryke failed to protect them and rebuild their homes. I owe them safety which is why I am hesitant to attempt to maintain this...nation I have apparently taken. I could not in good conscious lead these people to a war that I stand no chance of winning." He let out a heavy sigh and looked to Aria then Retili. This was technically their home as well and their connections to him might have made them some powerful enemies. "So please...what do you all think I should do? Could I win a war with Ryke? Could I win a trial when surrounded by snakes?"
