Michael paled a bit and took a few steps back before taking himself a seat. "Mother was... it makes sense but still." He shook his head. Closing his eyes. "I listened to mother in a lot of things but like father, I am stubborn about some things too. Perhaps a little too proud, unwilling to admit I need help. The protectors got their hands on power through me afterall." He seemed to consider his actions carefully, frowning a bit more then to speak up.<br/><br/>"Protectors were one part of things, but before them, there were the Knights of the Order to keep the peace. Before that, back in older days, there are references... well, were references about the dangerous organisation known as Shadow Watch. They kept watch of both the kingdom and the king. Their duty was to strike down corruption, at any level. Unfortunately I believe they perished even before my father's age even began as a king. Undoubtedly this age would not remain if they were still around." His eyes were cast aside.<br/><br/>"This may have bee on the working longer than I even realized by the sounds of it. If so, there's undoubtedly more surprises, and less pleasant ones at that, in the future. For that reason, I think there's only two steps I can take at this point." He looked at Gabriel intently. Speaking as a Ruler of the Country as he spoke those next words.<br/><br/><strong>"Until the Rebellion of C has been dealt with and the threat of war overcome, as the Rightful Heir of the Throne and the Ruling King I name you, Sir Gabriel, as Regent and Supreme Commander of all war assets. With my seal and my word, you will have every right a ruler would have, not needing to speak back to me about them or even inform me, to strive to bring this kingdom back from the brink of destruction. In the event of my death, the crown shall pass onto my sister, and in event of both our deaths in this conflict, I will trust you to find a suitable ruler to this land. Its a heavy responsibility, but I begin to feel that without this, I may wake up dead one night and the C's puppet will take over. With this document, I can at least spit in this C's face one last time and ruin at least that plan."</strong>He smirked a bit coldly, a vengeful, cruel look in his eyes as he spoke about C at the end, but then nodding very seriously.<br/><br/>"Sit there for a moment." Moving aside, he pulled a parchment and some ink from a table's confines, writing the document and then pressing a royal seal upon it. The document lastly signed by him, he looked at Gabriel.<br/><br/>"I need two witnesses for this, and they will also be people who will have to be let in on the fact I am here. Lady Luna is unfortunately excempt from this, given her...<em>unique</em>position in things."
