Chapter 31: Plan

"This is outrageous! Do you know the type of risk we're taking? Even when Devon didn't have any allies, we suffered major casualties. Now Barklull has joined them, what do you think will happen now?" The king of Wallby said with a strong tone. All of the allies of the Valerian kingdom got summoned for an urgent meeting. Now, they were being informed about the new alliance Devon had made."Exactly. Why did you have to do that to Barklull Darien? You just called doom for us." The king of Verascous said. He was suprised that Darien could do such a thing. It was really unnecessary."The deed has been done, now we have to find a solution." He said. Yes, he knew he was at fault here, but there was nothing that could be done to correct his wrong doings."I've been expecting Barklull to join with Devon for awhile. It's no secret that Barklull and Devon are extremely close. When the kings parents died, the late king of Devon helped them in ruling their kingdom. It's what made their kingdom flo

"Your highness, Felix is here. He wishes to see you." George said. Alexander was with one of his ministers. They were talking about a serious matter."He can wait till I'm done." He said simply. George shook his head in disapproval. "No your majesty, he says it's really important. It can't be delayed." George could see Felix's level of seriousness. He knew that it was a very urgent matter.Alexander had a frown on his face. He wondered what could be so important that Felix couldn't spare a minute."Send him in." With a bow, George went to fetch Felix. They arrived within two minutes."Your highness, I'm sorry for the disturbance, but it's an urgent matter." Alexander waved his hand at the minister, and with a brief bow, he left."So tell me, what is so important Felix?""I have information from Valeria, and it's very serious." He said."I understand that already, now get to the point.""Valeria, they are launching an attack. Infact, all of their allies are.""This isn't the first time

Chapter 33: Finding men

Alexander walked through the street of a village, which was almost in ruins. He wore a long black coat with a black hat. His steps were soft. There were people who roamed the streets aimlessly. Some stayed by a fire to get a little warmth, while some were passed out on the street. The place reeked of alcohol and cigarette. He removed his gaze from them and walked into a beat down bar. On getting in, he saw only five people there, plus the bartender. He went over and sat down."What ya want pal? You look like someone who orders the expensive drink, what about a whisky?" The lean man who looked extremely bony asked."Where's Zaka?" Alexander asked. The man's eyes widened when he realised who he was talking to."Your highness! I didn't realize, my deepest apolozies." He said with a bow. "Zaka, he's somewhere around here. I could go get him for you.""Hm, that would be good. And don't waste my time.""Of course, I'll be right back." He said and hurriedly left the bar. He got to the other

Chapter 34: Old friends

"Your majesty, there's barely enough time to plan a counter attack. How will we protect the people?""We can't save everyone and I already have a plan."The man stayed silent for a while. "Oh well, I'm all ears your majesty." He finally said."We are not going to need too many soldiers. 50 should be enough, I'm getting forty men before noon. King Carlos"s men are also joining us." The chief of the army nodded in agreement"How many soldiers do they have?" Carlos asked."About 75, remember it's a suprise attack they've planned, so they won't make use of that much men.""Your highness, why did you get other men? We already have enough." The chief of the army asked."Because they will serve as bait. The entry into Vicknall town will be evacuated secretly. These men, will act like town's people. They can also fight too, in case you're wondering." Said Alexander."I don't doubt that. But what if they decide to strike from another angle?""Then we will switch to plan B, but I doubt we'll be

Chapter 35: The Attack

The next day;The town of Vicknall looked quite peaceful. The people who lived in the the inermost part of the town went about their day, without a clue of what was about to happen. Zeke's men were already situated at their points at the entrance of the town. They were all dressed as civilized people of the distinguished town. They went up and about and came in and out of some stores that were opened. Zeke and Felix were two hundred metres away from the town. Zeke was using a pair of binoculars to see what was happening. They were in a small abondaned shop."Are you sure they wouldn't have called off the attack? They could have gotten tipped off, or perhaps they've planned a counterattack?" Asked Zeke."The attack is still happening and no one could have tipped them off." He said."I hope so." Zeke said as he chewed on a stick. Felix looked through the binoculars. He could see Zeke's men. They were playing their part well. The soldiers were at every corner of Vicknall town. When the Va

Chapter 36: Attack 2

"Heavens, I thought it would never end." Zeke said, as he wiped an imaginary sweat off his forehead."It ended well.""Yes, now it's time for us to leave." Said Zeke."Not yet." Felix said. He left the shop as he saw his informant coming towards them. Zeke stared at them as they conversed. He saw Zeke give the man a sack of coins. His eyes furrowed a little and then the man left."What was that all about?""The informant that told us about the attack.""Oh, then he definitely deserved that pay." He said with a grin. "Now I have to go see how many of my men are left." Zeke said and walked away. Felix also left.Alexander stepped out of the carriage and walked into the palace. Carlos followed behind. "Alex, why didn't you tell me about the attack? I was terribly worried. Did everything go well?" Queen mother asked when she saw her son."It went perfectly well mother, don't you worry." Alex said reassuringly."Ok, but tell me what happened. When did you find out about the attack?""An in

He wondered what was going on. Deciding to cool down, he sat on his throne patiently, waiting for some news.Assistant Clinton was outside of the courtroom. His hands were sweaty and clam. He was terrified of entering the room, since he was about to give the king some horrible news. With shaky breaths and trembling legs, he went in."Finally some news. What happened? Have the men arrived?" Asked king Darien. He had a serious expression on his face."Y-your h-highness, i-l'm afraid I have terrible news." Clinton stammered. King Darien shifted uncomfortably in his throne. "What is it? Speak Clinton!" His voice boomed."A-all of the men are dead! They set a trap and..""What do you mean by they are dead?" Clinton felt himself swallow a hard lump. "Someone informed Devon and they planned a counter-attack

She thought of what she could do, and if it was worth it.Darien, meanwhile, was still suprised about Isabelle's plan. He thought her to be crazy! If she cared about her life a little she wouldn't have thought of such. He had already lost a sibling, and he wasn't going to lose another. Laura came in."Your highness." She said with a bow."Where is your crazy friend?" He asked referring to Isabelle. Laura smiled a little. "She's in her room. I think she might still try to persuade you.""Let her try, I will never give her permission.""Yes, I know you wouldn't. But what If she does it without you knowing? I know Isabelle and she dosent give up easily.""So you're saying that she might try to run away? She wouldn't dare! I doubt she's that dumb."
