Resume: Davis is now a prisoner of the crown, and Taichi and Yamato plays bad cop, good cop with him.
He didn't know what scared him more: the shackles, the silence or the cold blue eyes that watched him since the door.
Davis expect a dungeon or a cell, not a dinner with the King and his hunting dog.
The King smiled at him since the other side of the table, part of him wonder if the food where poisoned, the part of him who wasn´t to busy devouring everything. Once there were no more than empty plates Davis finally speech
“Are you gonna kill me?” Davis wasn't the kind of person who circle around difficult topics
“If we wanted you death, you wouldn´t be here” the voice of the Wolf knight was almost as cold as his eyes
“Yamato please…” Yagami seems casual and relax, but Davis didn't let his guard down “I want to talk to you Davis, you know, since that time we face each others on the chosen children tournament I had always want to talk with you”
“Bullshit”
The Wolf Knight drew his sword but the King stopped him
“It is true, at that moment you remind a lot about myself when I was young” Davis didn't know exactly why, but he believe him
“So what?”
“So, I know you are confused and lost Davis “ His smile was warm and his voice calm “I´m give you an opportunity, a last chance to do the right thing: work with us, join our side and….”
“You want me to betray my brothers”
“Don't interrupt at his majesty”
“Brothers? is that how you call them?” The King continues as if he didn't listen at his knight “You three betrayed the Kingdom first”
“Your Kingdom?”
“Joe´s Kingdom, and let me tell you, I can understand Hida and Ichijouji seek of revenge; but you Davis? you are not truly a son of the sea, if you ask me you have more a mountain look”
“I'm not gonna betray my brothers”
The sword in the hand of the knight move faster, deadly faster but again the King hold him back.
“Do you know why was posible your capture?” Yagami stand up of the table “Ichijouji shot me an arrow while you were fighting” he smiled “my army respond to his tread, did you honestly agree with that? You? the same man who refuse to kill his enemies? Ichijouji broke the accords of a battle, if you ask me, the men you call brothers doesn´t share your honor or your bravery, I know you are not like them”
“You don't know me, or them, I trust them with my life”
“And that's why you are here and not them” The King walked around him, his long cape make him look bigger, not just that, he was so different from the Sea King or even Iory, he didn't have to convince anyone about his royalty “Ken Ichijouji has no honor, and Iory Hida is so consuming by his desire of revenge that he kidnap innocents and refuse to surrender in an imposible war”
“It wasn´t Iory”
“Then who?” Too late he realize his words were inappropriate
“Who?!” the knight repeated when he refused to answer the King
“Our master” Stupid boy, Ken would be so disappointing of him “Our master Ryo kidnaped the Queen and.. he is the one who refuse to surrender”
More terrifying than the King were the steps of his executioner “Where are the Queen and the prince?”
“I rather die to condem my brothers” Ishida approach to him, turn the table and with just his right hand he pick him up
“Where is the Queen?” He repeated only a few inches of his face and Davis spit on him
The cold hard floor and and punch in his face was totally worthy
“Enough Yamato!” The knight stand back; they were dancing around him “You rather die, i understand, you loved them, your brothers” For a moment it's seem like the King where doubting “is it fair to call Ken Ichijouji your brother? or it would be another word more appropriate for your relationship?”
Every insult that he knows he yell at the King until the knight shut him once again
“Did you finish?” One movement of his hand and Yamato stopped “Davis, do you know at the desert Queen?” And odd question, he taste his own blood on his mouth
“We meet her years ago, when she was still a princess” the memory of Jolei warm his hearth, a past time when everything was simpler.
“I'm sure you hear about her parents deaths a few months ago, she herself is a extrange Queen; single, young and intelligente”
“That's Jolei” Davis didn't understand why he bring her up
“Yea, for what I know, she and her sister didn't get along, Joe was supposed to married her but he chose Mimi; a resentful queen; and she is a friend of you and your brothers right?, here is my question: Why is she not helping you in your little rebellion?”
it's took a while before Davis understood that the King actually expect an answer.
“I don't know!” dam him “I´m not the one deciding those things, Ken is the strategist and… “ his head hurt so badly “Why you care?”
“Did you know she has a son?”
“What? No I don't” what was the point?
“Are you good at math Davis?”
“Just fucking said what you wanna said”
“Her kid is a little over two years old, he has blue hair and dark eyes, his father is not a desert man that's for sure”
For the first time in all night Davis keep silent
“I would let you think about it, and later we can discuss if you are still so certain about your loyalties”
