“Better to be feared than love” in the words of Henry has lead to the outbreak of civil war. A year after Henry made the orders to his army to raid the homes of any one suspect, the Kingdom has descended into turmoil. It seems many in the Kingdom were opposed to the way that Henry carried went about things. Many felt personally offended at having their homes raided. Many others who had been suspect were outraged at the torture they had endured at the hands of Henrys men. Others in the Kingdom simply felt that Henry had gone to far, and that their civil rights were no longer guaranteed under the current King. The rebels, therefore, built in numbers.
Soon, War brakes out. The main battles are fought between the rebels and the army. On Henry’s orders, the army was to arrest all and any in suspicion of treason. Villages are raided, burned to the ground; hundreds of rebels flee their homes, now homeless refugees. Those who have pledged their support to the King are determined to eradicate the traitors, and small guerilla groups have formed to target those on the opposition. Henry’s focus is on gathering the rebels. Those found guilty on trial are to be executed. Meanwhile, those loyal to the crown are prospering, Henry is determined to show his gratification to all those who are loyal.
Henry, ever arrogant, believes that the war will come to a swift end soon. After all, the majority of the kingdom’s subjects continue to adore and idolize him, and life in Court is still as festive as ever. During celebrations of Prince Tristan’s 3rd birthday, however, the King was informed of some tragic news. His most trusted advisor, Lord Bartholomew, had been killed in the midst of battle. Beyond grief, and to clear his conscious, the King pledged to support his children, Lady Guinevere and Lord Geoffrey, financially. A statue is built in honor of Lord Bartholomew on the royal grounds. In addition, Queen Morgana has invited Lady Guinevere to court. She will be provided with comfortable lodging within the castle, to be closer to her brother, if she accepts the offer.
In the midst of all the chaos, Morgana has given birth again to another son, Cedric. Adoring of her husband as she is, Morgana’s attitude has slightly softened, believing that in some instances, Henry could have made better choices, she was highly opposed to the raids carried out on homes and the stripping of possessions. When she found out about the torture carried out on Henry’s behalf, she snapped and decided to go against Henry and reach out to all those who had been affected, guilty or not. The King, naturally, is dismayed at his wife’s actions, but ever besotted, has merely warned her not to show to much compassion or it will cost her dearly. Meanwhile, the King has granted Lady Miriam an audience, and what she tells him may just be what Henry has been waiting for. He immediately moves to arrest Miriam’s parents, Duke Elijah and Duchess Adina, who have always been suspects of initiating the plot to overthrow the King from the beginning. The question is, will Henry take the high road and spare their lives in return for Miriam’s help, or will he go through on his word to execute all those who have stood in his way? And more importantly, Henry was determined to pin the blame on someone for the untimely death of his son Philip. For the last two years, the night of Morgana’s attempted assassination has played in the back of his mind – he is determined to unmask the assailant, whoever it was will pay more dearly than anyone else.
