588 Plans For Arcadina

The next day, William's men, family and maids all got to work.

Today, they would have a celebratory banquet in order to thank their Saviours.

And while all this was going on, of course Mona, Oden, William, Landon and Mona's brothers... Murel and Powin, quickly got together in William's office.

.

"Good child!

It seems like you do remember me." Mona said while rubbing Landon's hair teasingly.

She couldn't help but recall Landon's previous appearance when he was in the Capital.

The boy was weak, naive and only had one thought in mind... And that was to take care of his mother and Lucy.

But now, the weak-looking boy had finally grown up into a dashing young man who now ruled over his own empire.

Mona felt a little bit of a heartache for him, because in her mind... The poor boy became who he was today due to the harsh reality of tge world.

He somehow reminded her of herself.

When she was still in the Capital back in her youth, she too was naive and ignorant..... But now, she had learned how to survive and also built a fast network within every part of Arcadina.

Of course, she did this with the help of Oden... But still, the risks that they took at that time were enough to make anyone quiver in fear.

And after building their network for the next 15 years, they finally handed everything to William to take care of.

One could say that she had learnt all sorts of things, be it the art of disguising one's self, or even how to successfully run businesses as well.

She had done it all!

And now looking at Landon, she knew that he too had faced such situations for him to get to the top.

In a way, she was glad that he didn't suffer from poisoning all those years back... Or else, wouldn't her precious son be a goner by now?

Landon, on the other hand, didn't recall Mother Mona's face at all..... And that was because the woman had disguised herself previously when she had sneaked into the palace.

But when Mother Mona told him that she was the maid that used to sneak around and get him food, he immediately remembered her then.

In short, he was utterly shocked at how far back these people had hatched their plans.

.

"Good boy!

We can't thank you enough for saving our little William." Mona said gratefully.

And as she spoke, Oden, Murel and Powell nodded as well too.

They had complete respect for the man before them, because he had won such a hard battle even though he and his men were completely outnumbered by the enemy.

In addition to that, they had also received several Baymardian goods over the years... So looking at the inventor before them, how could they not respect the man?

Just by looking at his political means and rules within his empire, one would instantly know that he was the sort of person thy out his people's needs, comfort and safety first.

"Little Landon, how's your family?"

"Aunty Mona, they're pretty good.

But since you'll be coming with me, you'll see them.... won't you?" Landon said playfully.

Mona and the rest were shocked.

Since when did they agree to go anywhere with this brat?

"Mom... Cousin Landon and I sorted it all out yesterday.

We will all go to Baymard with him and remain there until the time for battle." William said lazily.

"Battle?

As your uncle, how come I don't know that we are preparing for battle?"

"Yeah!

How come we don't know a thing?

Just what are you two brats up to?" 

"Son, what exactly is going on?"

"Are we still going for war?"

Immediately, everyone curiously threw several questions at William and Landon.

Oden looked at the pair silently and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"When is the battle?"

"Pretty soon uncle."

"And what are the chances?"

"A crushing victory!"

"Good!... You are undoubtedly a Barn!

Your plans are indeed grand!"

"Thank you, uncle."

.

Seeing Landon and Oden converse as if they were in their own world... Everyone except for William, was still confused about the exact plan.

What the hell were these 2 talking about?

"Brat... What are your plans?" Oden asked seriously.

"To put William on the throne before the end of the year."

"Why?"

"Because it has always been a dream of mine to unity The Pyno continent... And later on, the world!

I wish to rule alongside capable rulers.

So that in this way, poverty would be long extinguished, and other world issues would be solved as well.

I do not wish to rule the entire world, since that would be too boring and a tin of work to do.

So... All I want is an equal partnership with all leaders of the world.

And that's why William and I have decided to sign a treaty." With that, Landon quickly took out the treaty... And began to go over it with them.

Mona and the rest quickly immersed themselves in it, and couldn't help but nod in appreciation.

Everything on it was beneficial for them.

They even got to properly understand the functions of the 'UN' as well.

It seemed like this brat was hell-bent on giving this world peace.

Of course, some of the clauses stated that they would be removed after every empire had stabilized itself in future.

More specifically, it stated that only after the entire world was unified.... would Baymard open its doors and allow others to learn and develop their technology from what they made.

In addition to that, the reasons for doing so we're also started below too.

And in truth, they all thought that it was understandable.

After all, who could guarantee that some greedy noble wouldn't use these products to commit even more crimes?

The world needed specific rules that were seen as inhumane all across the globe.

Be it rape, child-trafficking or anything else... The entire world needed to know that such crimes would only be punished and never encouraged.

.

Everyone looked at the treaty and was utterly impressed.

It looked like their little William wouldn't suffer any loss from signing this.

And on top of that, they were also pleased by Landon's character as well.

"Brat!

Where do we sign our names?

Quickly, give me a pen!"
