(In a mansion somewhere in the east coast of Wales) "Are you sure about this?" A short stout man that looked like a noble was looking afraid. "What if you do not succeed and I was implicated in aiding you?" "Do not worry baron. I assure you that we will win in this war." High Priest Haden said with a confident smile.The baron shivered seeing Haden smile. He seemed like a demon under the disguise of an angel. "And with this amount of magic stones in your disposal, you can defend yourself even if the royal army came." High Priest Haden said. "And after we win this war, we will keep our promise to you. You will be given the title of archduke and be given dominion of all Wales. The nobles that have looked down on you will be at your mercy, you can do as you please with them. The royal family that turned a blind eye towards you will be kicked off from their place. Well if you want, you can take the eldest princess as your mistress after you make her a widow. I heard she is quite a bea
[Ragnar’s POV] Kyler’s men that traveled by horseback had returned to Vienna by nightfall. I can see their tiredness from the trip, and so I ordered them to rest the night. Victor’s' small group on the other hand had not come back. It was because of the mission I gave to him. I have sent him on a detour to the lycan's lair to seek their assistance in this upcoming battle. I was not sure if Mulan and the lycans will heed my call to arms, but I have my hopes up that they would.I have sent Kyler and Philip on an errand earlier when Williams letter arrived. While riding Avatar in his phoenix form, they have gone to the nearby coast cities to mobilize the soldiers there and be on stand by when we would need them. They also had gone to every port found in the east coast of Wales to cease any departure to the eastern city, and to keep an eye on suspicious individuals that would ask for ships to rent. I was currently standing at the balcony of the room that Isabella and I used when we firs
“This is a little bit awkward, having to record this myself in such a way. I do not plan to lose my life in the battle to come, but just in case that I ever lose my life I have this recorded. I will leave this to my most trusted aid and dear friend. I hope that you will not ever have to watch this Fiona, but if ever this comes into your hands then that means I have lost my life. I have sent you and Diana away to protect you from what is to come, especially now that you are carrying our child as well. You might not have noticed, but because of my magic I can feel the new life just starting to bloom inside of you. That is the product and proof of our love for each other, and I hope that you will be happy once you find out about it yourself, like I was when I found out.It has been a while when I suspected it, but now I am sure that father is not in his right mind. I have tried many times to persuade him to think twice about waging war but he never listened to me. When the war started,
[Ragnar’s POV]I have told Mulan everything that happened so far. When we left the lycans lair, to the passage through the mountain pass, and then the trap that Darius and his men set up in our rendezvous point. Mulan listened carefully, nodding his head every now and then. "So what you are saying right now was, this Darius person had stolen the key that your subordinate was carrying?" Mulan affirmed. "And this key thing was the thing that you got from that room that was sealed with magic?" "Yes, that is what happened." I said and sighed.Mulan was rubbing his chin contemplating something. I was nervous that maybe he will not lend me a helping hand because I let Darius steal the key. "Well, that girl made such a disgraceful thing backstabbing that young man Cyril. It is just sad because I am quite fond of that young man." Mulan shook his head with a sad face. "Do not worry Ragnar, we lycans are here to help you." He pumped his chest with his fist. "Really?" I asked in surprise. "T
After I got the information the lycans gave, I rushed back to the estate towards the room where Kyler is sleeping. I knocked at his door in a rather hastily manner that I heard Kyler scramble up inside his room and opened the door in tremendous speed. "Your majesty, has something happened?" Kyler asked with worriment. His clothes were in a disheveled manner that I thought was because he was such in a hurry when he heard my knock at the door. "I am sorry to disturb your sleep." I said apologetically. "But I got good intel from the lycans." "I understand your majesty." Kyler said, fixing his disheveled clothes. "I have slept quite enough. I am ready to do the task you need me to do, your majesty." He said with a solemn expression. I nodded thankfully at Kyler. He was really a loyal subordinate and an older brother figure to me. Having sleepless nights is not anything new to us. With the fight with my half brothers, having a good sleep was something we cannot have. Being in the battl
We have formed an army consisting of Wales people, my Spartan men under Kyler’s elite group, and the lycans under Mulan’s leadership. This small army has its pros and cons. One of the cons is that this army has been built just today. They have no experience working with one another. That is why I have lowered my head in front of them a while ago, so that we can work with each other beyond their differences from one another.But on the other hand, the pros of this army is that we have diverse talents. The Wales men are surely trained hard in the military, having General Marcus as the head of the military for the longest time here in Wales.We also have magic by our side that comes from Kyler’s elite group of men. They are trained hard under Kyler’s strict training. They also have experienced many battles under my command, and I can vouch for their prowess in battle.The lycans on the other hand have brute strength, speed and agility that gives us great advantages in battle. The lycans
The army we have built are now preparing for the battle to come. The men are busy sharpening their swords while others are preparing their suit of armor to wear. I myself is now preparing to suit up my armor I had prepared. *KNOCK KNOCK* "Your majesty, it is me." Kyler said from behind the door. "Come in."I replied.The door opened and Kyler came inside. He was wearing his own armor that is black in color with the crest of Avalon engraved in the breast plate. "I have come to help you wear your armor, sire." Kyler said solemnly. "Thank you." I replied with gratitude.Since back then, Kyler was always by my side as my right hand man. In every battle, he was the one to suit me up in my armor and now was no different. He walked towards the corner where my armor is, and carefully lifted it up one by one. He carefully placed each piece on my body, carefully tightening every part to fit perfectly. The last piece he placed was the breast plate, where the engraving of my family's crest is
The sky is dyed in the orange afterglow of the setting sun. The waves are splashing calmly along the beach near the small pier. A pair of guards are on patrol, walking along the sandy pathway of the beach. "It is kind of boring to guard this desolate place." One guard said. "Don't you think?" He asked his partner. "Well, kind of." The other guard replied. "The sound of the waves make me kind of sleepy. And the smooth wind just makes you just want to lie down somewhere and sleep." "Haaahhh…" The other guard sighed. "When will our shift end?" He asked. "Probably not some time soon." The other guard replied. "The others are preparing for the surprise attack we will launch in the beach 🏝️ city of Vienna." "That is where the king of Avalon is residing currently, right?" The other guard replied. "Yes. Our queen has quite a grudge against him." The other guard said. "Most of the army will be joining into battle against the king of Avalon while he has a small amount of his men with him
