King Lucien stared at the scroll in front of him. He was seated behind his desk, his head nursed a huge headache.

The open window oversees the night sky. It's almost the middle of the night. The meeting in court had taken so much longer.

The scroll held two signed signatures on it.

King Zeba and King Noir had signed the petition. King Pesih wants to sleep over it. King Moreh and Phillip had outrightly refused.

"Why would we want to eradicate the law of introduction? Why would we enforce a law for unjust killing of slaves?" Moreh had been angry, "There is no unjust killing when it comes to slaves. They are dirt. Garbage. There is no unjust way of getting rid of garbage."

King Lucien rubbed his aching head, his eyes darkening in anger and hurtful memories. Moreh has always been an animal.
