Rima certainly was not the person betraying the resistance, she had no reason to. All her family belongs to the resistance, the only reason why she was not groomed to join in the resistance before was because it was believed that women could not help in terms of war just like the empire archaic belief of that fact that women did not belong in politics or among soldier. Rima had built a life for herself when it comes to the resistance. She has started training female spies, something which the resistance was finding profitable and amazing because people say a lot of things in presence of the females, either to brag or because they are just arrogant people who believes that if you are not a man, you are invisible. General Cain was one of the second group. And Rima could not t

When Penn caught Rima and Stanley kissing the next day as she went to tell them her suspicions about Curtis, she knew that their relationship has shifted forever but it still did not change the fact that she was going to give them great grief for it, after all what are friends for?“Is this our designated meet up point for some cuddling, hugging and maybe kissing?” Penn asked as she watched Rima fly out of Stanley's arms with a sound of embarrassment. “Come on now Rima, I should be the one who should be surprised and feeling scandalized, I just saw something which will never leave my head.” Penn added with a fake shiver as Stanley glared at Penn.“Cut it out.” Stanley glares at Penn who laughed as she watched Stanley try to calm Rima down but Rima refused to let herself be held by Stanley.“Rima, do not tell me that you are now feeling shy, you did not three minutes ago when you did not care about anybo

And victorious in Penn case was having the brat as a friend.“Your Highness.” Penn bowed mockingly when Stanley hits her.“You know that you do not have to do that.” Chandler protested weakly.Penn straightened with her expression blank, struggling to keep the anger from her face. “Yes I do your highness. I would not want you to hit me again.”Chandler flinched as he used one of his hand to rub his face like he was tired. Why on earth was Penn this difficult to be friends with? And why was he still pushing to be friends with the brat when things like this do happen, was he that lonely for real attention? “I am sorry that I ever tried to lay my hand on you in anger.” Chandler said de

“What!” Rima and Stanley asked at the same time.“We have a traitor…” Penn started to repeat with a roll of her eyes, she knew that when she came to the conclusion too that it was hard for her to comprehend that the resistance has been infiltrated but the couple in front of her both wore matching disbelief and it was too identical for Penn not to react in any way. “We heard you the first time, you know that is not what we were asking.” Rima snapped at Penn then when Penn raised an eyebrow at her, it was her turn to roll her eye but she continued her thoughts. “How are you so sure that it is Curtis? I know that you hate him Penn but to pin such a huge punishable crime on such an innocent young man, that is wrong Penn.” Rima ended in an admonishing tone as Penn jaw flapped opened to stare at Rima in shock.She never expected Rima words one bit. She was not doing this because she hated him!

Rima saw Curtis in the cattle stall, which was where he spent his free time these days, he was among the cattle as usual but this time he was playing with a Calf while the mother watched on. Rima took a moment to appreciate the scene before her. It was a far cry from when Curtis was forced to clean their stalls and all, so many changes Curtis has done all within the space of three months.Which was why she found it hard to believe that Curtis would be the person to leak out any information. After all, he had found his place among them and he did not really annoy her as such as he did any longer and he had grown on her, not like Stanley did neither was it like the way she and Penn became friends but Curtis own was a mixture of both and still not as strong as her friendship with Stanley and Penn but it was still considered that. Friendship.“Hello Rima.” Curtis said without looking up from the Calf he was playing with.“How

Vallas sighed in anger as he walk faster than Denzel, he despise being anywhere near the man and the resistance knew this, would that stop them from pairing him up with the person in question? Unfortunately no. it was like they wanted him and Denzel to try and destroy each other to see who would come on victorious.“Would you act like a grown up for once and slow down so that I and you will provide a united front?” Denzel snaps at Vallas who glared at him.“That is the last thing I want to do, I do not want to provide anything with you, I am starting to think that favoritism is coming into play in the resistance because you did not have any business being here.” Vallas returns as Denzel caught up with him.“So do you, the only reason why I was sent was to balance you and you know that.” Denzel added.“Your legacy is the major suspect!” Vallas forced out.“And your l

“Penn calm down and let me treat your arm.” Rima said as she hurried after Penn just as he stopped in front of the dining room which they never use then turned to face her with the unhidden fury he felt trained on her and the silent boy who wax tagging behind her and silent from the guild he was feeling.“This would not have happened if both of you were not having issues, I get that you were a couple and you are allowing things which should not affect you to affect you now but you both need to sort yourselves out because the resistance is not a place for brats.” Penn snaps at Rima and gestured at Stanley with her arm that was injured before the Pain hits her again and she groaned as she used her other hand to support it.“Let me help.” Rima rushed forward but Penn shouted.“I do not need your help, I do not want it too, either from you too.” Penn yelled at Stanley. “Just get over what is mak

“Father.” Curtis strangled out as Denzel just raised an eyebrow.“What? No excuses to come up with, how long have you being causing this questionable actions of yours to make them doubt your innocence?” Denzel approached his son who took a step back and eventually stop shifting back when he realized that he was cowering in front of him.Curtis felt like a five year old reject once more, his father wanting nothing to do with him and when he mentioned that he was his son with tears in his eyes, Denzel stepped forward with a frightening look on his face as he warned Curtis to never repeat that ever again then Denzel proceeded to show Curtis who his step siblings were and stating reasons why his siblings were his child and why Curtis himself could not be.

Penn waited for three heartbeats before the pandemonium she was expecting happened.“You must be crazy this time around.” Stanley thundered.“I wondered what was wrong with him when he detached himself from Rima crime and betrayal, now I can see that he did not detach himself, he simply went crazy.” Curtis exclaimed.“And you support this?” Denzel asked Vallas who shrugged, he presented the very picture of unburdened.“Of course I do, it will take care of the Resistance chief problem which is the king.” Vallas smiled as Denzel tightened his fists.“He is just as crazy as you.” Denzel realized.“Thanks.” Penn and Vallas replied at the same time.“Penn, be serious.

Penn tried to run but there was no way she could escape the grasp of twenty men, she was caught within a minute. “Let me go.” She struggled against their hold as she was dragged back to Cain who had not moved from his spot when she had tried to run, fully trusting in his men's capability in bringing her back. “My father will hear of this.” “And how will he, when the person who should tell him will be dead?” Cain said as Penn felt a chill in her spine at his words. Cain had just confirmed that he was going to kill her and there was nothing she could do about it at all. “My father will know that it is you.” Penn bravely said but her voice betrayed her when it came out shaky, displaying her fear for all present to see. Cain leans to her face. “He is going to need something called proof to be able to do anything. You see, unlike that incident of two years ago, this time I will be smarter so that no one can witness this happening. Let us go.” Cain said

“Your majesty, I have the perfect idea for what you want to happen.” Cain said two days later in the king's study.The king stared at Cain in surprise, he had not seen Cain this excited since he decided to start punishing the resistance. “I am not sure that I will like this idea.” The king responded.Reflected on Cain's face was the confusion which Cain felt as he did not understand what the reaction of the king. He did not plan for the king to shut him down even before hearing what he had in his mind. “My King, You did not even listen to what I have to say.”“I know.” The king sighed as he dropped the reports he was perusing. “I just hope that it will not waste my time.”“Of course not your majesty sire, I will be very brief with my explanation.” Cain hurried out and when the King gave his nod of approval, Cain started. “You wanted the children o

The crowd was somber, most of the nobles who attended the burial of Denzel attended with the knowledge of why he died, some more than the others.*He angered the resistance so he was killed, His son was discovered as a member of the resistance so they shut him up, he was killed because his son was a traitor…*Those were few of the talks that were flying in the air at that time. The time were Denzel was being laid in the ground and that made the king teeth to grit in anger at the blatant disrespect shown to the noble who died and his living nobles who could not wait for them to be out of the hearing range of the young ones which Denzel left behind before running their mouth.The only persons who were observing the right curtsey was Vallas and his son Penn. The king watched as Vallas placed a comforting hand on Penn's arm and then led him off.“Father.” Chandler called to his father who turned around to con

Penn felt something akin to pity as she watched Denzel stumbling back as if him shifting away from Vallas would somehow make the news unreal and change the fact that Curtis was dead.“No, you are lying. Is this some sick joke you and him are playing to make me lose my cool?” Denzel demanded but Penn could see the pale pallor that Denzel skin seem to have taken.“Not everything is about you Denzel, Your son was a traitor, this is about his death which was caused by his actions and decisions not yours.” Vallas stated as Penn paused.“Of course, he was your son.” Penn realized.“Stop referring to him like he is no more.” Denzel snapped at Penn who shifted back. “Now enough of this game you are playing and tell me where my son is.”“He is dead Denzel.” Penn stated calmly, trying to add feelings into delivering the news. “He was a traitor

Cain had never felt any intense hate for anybody as much as he felt for this brat in front of him. Even what he felt for Vallas was like a tiny flame compare to the inferno he was feeling for this being called Penn.“Are you sure you want to go there?” Cain asked Penn not caring for the audience they were having which was the king and his family.“You brought this upon yourself and let me inform you, my father will hear about this.” Penn threatened.“Is it just me or this whole scene turning into something that is just wasting our time?” The queen asked the king who nodded.“Cain you know better than to bring your personal vendetta here.” The king said firmly as Cain looked around unsure of how the table turned so quickly.“But…” Cain tried to convince the king but Chandler's voice was the one to cut him short this time.“But no

“Did the Prince give you a blow to the head that I somehow did not see?” Stanley asked Penn who rolled her eyes.“I am serious, those who run will be the first to be captured and taken in for questioning. Dispose all your weapons here and let’s go trade the horses for a wagon then rent a night at the inn and after that, we go out and mingle with other in the crowd, maybe grab a wench or two per person and have fun. After all, the reason we are here is because Lord Vallas decided to visit our home and we need to release some steam right?”They looked surprised at the easy way which Penn solved the problem until Stanley clapped his arms together. “Alright, let us start, time currently is of the essence.” He started giving instructions to others about what they should do while Penn started undressing. “Penn is everything alright?” Stanley asked looking at Penn weirdly.“Of course, it woul

Curtis realized too late what the queen might have wanted, the woman replaced her husband with her son, and she would not have done that if she wanted to son to be alive. With that thought, Curtis lunged forward, hoping to sink the knife into the Prince's chest but the Prince disarmed him within a flash.“Thank you for the weapon. Needed it.” Chandler smiled at Curtis who backed away from the Prince in shock.“That is one of the most foolish you have ever done.” Penn growled at Curtis making her voice deeper so that the Prince will not realize that it was her and still she saw the way the Prince's body jerked at her voice like he was recognized who was talking. It was a good thing that Penn tied her head and covered half of her face just like the rest of the resistance.“Thank you for believing in my ability, it is nice when your enemies know what you are capable of.” Chandler grinned towards the direction of

“I think you need to start from the start.” The queen said with her chest pounding. The king could not die, not yet. She still needed to kill the crown prince and make Lance the crown Prince.This was all Cain fault, if he had killed the prince then she would not have felt anything, she would not have done anything other than to sit still and wait for this to happen but it cannot because she will be left with Nothing. The Crown Prince no longer listened to her anymore, not since he came back to realized how many people she had disposed of since his edict. He had refused to listen to her since then or even to be in the same room with her, claiming that the sight of her makes him sick and he was repulsed that she was his mother… that was what he said while he was in the king’s presence but the queen knew what Chandler was referring to.“The resistance are planning on attacking the king today and Curtis shared this
