533 Enemies All Around 2

Eli smiled gleefully, as he felt like a kid who just got all their Christmas wishes answered.

Indeed, it was definitely his time to shine.

No one other than himself could be the next ruler of Arcadina.

"Your highness... Are we really not going to rescue Mr. Slytherin?" asked the hooded man, who had immediately pulled Eli out of wonderland and back to reality.

Eli frowned and calmly got up from his bed.

He walked towards the hooded man and stopped directly in front of him in a very 'close manner'.

They were so close that if the hooded man were to stick his tongue out... It would undoubtedly touch Eli's lower privates.

'Your highness... Please, begging you.

Can you just cover up a tad bit?

Did I maybe say something that made you mad?

If not, then why are you right in my face like this?'

(;´Д`)

The hooded man didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What sort of situation had he found himself in?

He tried his best to maintain his composure while waiting for Eli to make his point.

"Hmm?

You actually want me to waste my resources in saving that fool?

The fool had never been of any use to me ever since the day that he lost to the Ghostly prince.

The fool had been wasting my money, as well as my resources for the past few years with no yields.

So why should I go out and save him?

More still... A dog that doesn't obey its master, is as good as dead. 

Over the last few years, he hasn't accepted any of the missions given to him... Unless it concerned the ghostly prince.

I had one day told him that his obsession would kill him..... As I was right.

The bloody good truly got what he deserved." Eli said arrogantly.

"But your highness... This is the great Slytherin Cord that we are talking about!!

He is one of the most intelligent men that we can ally with.

His forces will definitely aid us in fighting against your father and your siblings... Your highness.

We need him to....." 

"Capris!.... We don't him!

As for his intelligence, I will admit that Slytherin is indeed an intelligent man.

But that was before he became obsessed.

You see, over the years... The fool had become redundant and daft with every loss he had from his encounters with the ghostly prince.

He had slowly lost confidence in himself, as well as his men.

And even if I wanted to rescue him, it would be utterly impossible now.

After touching that man's mother, do you really think that he would still be alive to this day?

Tsk! 

For sure, he's already dead!" Eli said, while finally walking away from the hooded man who's name was Capris.

.

Capris breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw his master step away from his face.

'Thank the ancestors', he thought.

Do we tell your father that his brother had somehow come back from the dead?"

"No!

We keep my father out of this.

Even though it would be beneficial for my father to fight Uncle one-on-one..... I would prefer to keep him out of the matter for now.

Father has already gathered his army, and is already preparing for war with Baymard.

I just received a letter that he is planning to go out, 2 weeks from now... So that sometime in spring, he would be able to launch a full-scale attack on Baymard.

So you see, I need him to be the escape-lamb and fight that bastard brother of mine.

Because if he found out that Oden was alive, he would unquestionably get distracted from dealing with Baymard.

Capris!... Our goal is to have both Arcadina and Baymard under our rule.

So never forget that!"

"Yes, your highness!"

"Good!

From what I've said, it seems like this uncle of mine had given all his powers to my cousin.

So the only person that we truly need to keel a lookout for, is my cousin.

With that said, since no one saw you go in and out of the place... That means that we have one advantage up our sleeves."

"Your highness... Are you saying that we should attack them now?"

"Yes, Capris!... Let's give them the element of surprise!"

"Brilliant your highness!

Their base is only a 3-week ride from ours.

So if we give them a surprise attack, then we can finish them off without even having them a chance to call for backup."

"It's good that you fully understand my plans.

So quickly round up the men and prepare them for battle.

I'm presently waiting for another message from the South.

So we will set off 2 weeks from now and arrive sometime in early March.

This time, nothing and no one will be able to save this seat cousin of mine from death."

.

While Eli was preparing for his so-called surprise attack, unbeknownst to him... Someone else was also making and as well.

When Slytherin had been caught previously, 2 unidentified men chased him right into William's Den.

One was Eli's man... And the other was someone who no one would ever suspect.

Life was truly f**king great!

In another base close to Eli's secret base, a tall burly man currently had his back facing a masked man who was kneeling down before him.

"Hahahhahahahaha!

I knew that this stingy brother of mine was hiding something from me!

He was too quiet and suspicious all of a sudden.

But luckily, I took your advice a year ago and secretly followed this Slytherin fellow who you said was my brother's subordinate.

In addition to that, we managed to locate my brother's base here and built our own secret base close to his.

This way, we can observe the bastard without even knowing it.

I'm really glad that mother had gifted you to me, Gavo.

Because never in my wildest dreams, would I have thought that things would get this juicy all of a sudden.

Hahahhahahahha!!!

To actually think that I have a cousin who is actually the real heir to the throne is really something else!" The burly man said, before finally turning around to face his subordinate.

And of course, the burly man... Was none other than Connor Barn.
