The men all felt their hearts bleed warmly when they thought about the future.
They listened to William and smiled through their tears proudly.
Yes?
The end of their difficulties was near.
William looked at them and nodded in satisfaction and understanding.
As the Ghostly Prince who has led them throughout the years, how could he not understand their feelings?
"Men, we are steadily nearing our goal.
And I guarantee that victory will be ours.
As for how I'm certain, that's because we have successfully brought the tyrant tgat has hunted our dreams for years.
That's right!
Thanks to the Baymardians, the Villain Alec Barn has finally been captured."
--silence--
What?
They had captured the mighty Alec Barn?!!!!
Everyone felt like it was a dream.
Sure, they had speculated it.
But to actually hear it from the horse's mouth was a whole other matter.
They trembled and even pinched themselves in stupor.
How did those Baymardians do it?
This was a man that they had been trying to overpower for decades now.
And these Baymardians just took care of him in one battle?
Awesome!!!
"That's right!
As honourable men, we must always remember this debt, as well as all the aid that the Baymardians have extended to us now and in the future.
And so my brave warriors, from this day forward, they will always be our brothers!"
"Yeah!!!!" The men yelled excitedly in unison.
But enough of that.
William raised his hands and demanded for silence before continuing on.
"Brothers, the hour is upon us, and soon we will be marching out to war.
So for now, everyone should have a good night's rest and wait for further instructions tomorrow.
Because 2 days from now, we will storm the Capital!"
"Yeah!!"
William looked at the courageous men before him and finally stepped into his mansion.
Now, it was time to make a proper plan of action with how many people they had at hand.
Soon, he will rid Arcadina of all it's filth!
Of course while he was preparing for his own battle, unknowingly to him... Chaos was already hoving over the Capital arrogantly.

'Triyk! Triyk! Triyk! Triyk!'
Seated within a ma.s.sive well lit room, was a gorgeous 30 something-year-old woman who was just silently watching the flames of fire violently engulf the logs of wood in the fireplace.
The room was utterly silent, so much so that one could only hear the sounds of the wood-burning away.
The woman had a ma.s.sive scarf that covered her shoulders, and her big dollish-looking eyes seemed to be as empty and lifeless as a vase.
Out of nowhere, the woman clenched her first or a bit, before finally relacing them again.
She had now resumed her previous demeanour of a lifeless doll.
'Knock! Knock knock!'
"Enter"
"Greetings Third Queen.
We've brought your good just as requested." Said a young maid, who came in alongside 4 others, who were also carrying in trays of good, wine and snacks as well.
"Drop them on the table and leave." The lady said without taking her gaze off the fireplace.
"As you wish my queen." The said answered before bowing and taking their leave.
"Bam!"
Once the door had been shut, the lady hurriedly walked towards the door and bolted it with a ma.s.sive log on the side.
She then lifted all the plates of food on the tray anxiously.
And when she saw what she was looking for, her expression looked like that of a mad person's... As she was now smiling and slowing tracing a table knife over her face.
[
My Queen, the stage is set.
Today, the big Wolf will die... And 5 days from now, the little wolf cub will also die as well.
Tonight, my queen is sure to enjoy the show.
]
The woman smiled broadly and calmly threw the letter into the flames.
And as she watched it go up in flames, she couldn't go but visualize that it were her enemies that were going up in flames instead.
'Children... Mother had promised to take revenge for your deaths.
And tonight, mother will fulfill one of those promises.
Tonight, I will avenge one of you.
But son, I swear that for as long as I live, I will never stop working hard to avenge you too.
So you don't have to wait anymore.'
The woman waited patiently in her room while sharpening her hidden dagger with a stone.
Soon, she will get her revenge.
And while the woman was indulging herself in her own fantasies of revenge, another woman close by was still in a bind about her predicaments.
.
'Crash!'
"Useless! Useless! Useless!
Why does the Royal family pay you all if you can't even do your jobs properly?"
'Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!'
'Bam!'
In another room within the royal place, another beautiful woman was currently throwing a ma.s.sive tantrum at the results that her men had given her.
All sorts of objects were thrown towards her targets in a fit of rage.
Were they joking with her or something?
What did they mean by saying that they had no clues or leads about the matter?
Sera felt like she was going crazy from just listening to their bullish**!
Her expression was now close to savageness, and her voice was sharp and ear-piercing.
She tried her best to calm herself down, but nothing she did seemed to be doing did the trick.
Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!
'Crash!'
She threw another expensive clay vase towards the men kneeling before her violently
What a bunch of worthless morons.
With the way things were going, how was she supposed to find out who had kidnapped her son, Eli?
More still, why hadn't they found her precious daughter's attacker yet?
Was she that weak that everyone now felt like they could pick on her?
She felt both angry and helpless at the same time.
And the only consolation she had, was knowing that Alec would stop at nothing to find Eli when he got back from his trip.
So she felt a little bit rea.s.sured.
Nonetheless, that didn't mean that she planned to stop looking for the culprits.
No way!!
What if they planned to kill her precious son within this time frame?
F***!
It was all their fault.
Why couldn't they do their jobs properly and figure out who the culprits were?
She coldly looked at the men before her in disdain.
"Listen boys... You all better pray that nothing happened to my son yet.
Because if he so much as has a single strand of hair missing from his head, I'll cook your families and give you their flesh to eat!
No, stop teasing me and do your jobs alright?" Sera said with a seemingly warm smile on her face.
Her men on the other hand, shivered a bit when they saw her smile.
And just as Sera was about to dismiss them, someone came barging into the room without any warning.
'Bam!'
"Are you mad or something?
How dare you come in without any further notice?"
"I... I'm sorry first Queen.
But it's an emergency.
We...."
'Thung!!!!'
The man froze midday during his speech, and his expression slowly turned pale before his lifeless body finally dropped to the floor.
'Bang!'
Was that an arrow on his back?
Everyone quickly became alert, and just when they were about to move the first queen to safety, they soon heard a loud clapping noise.
And in came their enemies.
'Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!'
"As expected of the empire's first n.o.ble queen." Said a calm soothing voice.
Sera looked at the culprit before her in shock.
Why was it her?
