Chapter 905 - Plan In Motion

Everyone's face was distorted from the constant celebration around the Capital.

"Your highness, I really can't understand it!

Is that b**ch blind?

Why would she choose a chubby waste?"

"Yeah!

An ordinary person can see that our master is better, so can it be that she's really sick in the head?"

"Hmph!

If you ask me, I think she's just a scheming whore who wants to have both men for herself. Didn't you see how her eyes sparkled earlier when she first set her sight on our master?

I bet that once our master tales revenge, she'll start professing her undying love for him."

"F***!

When I think of how she threw us out of the palace, it makes me feel like ripping her to pieces.

Who does she think she is?

Tsk.

Soon she won't be smiling for too long.

The wretch will get what's coming."

Skye gripped his armrest while listening to his men let out their anger.

He too, wanted nothing more than to make Penelope lick his feet like a good puppy.

And just when everyone was immersed in their hatred for her, someone soon rushed through the door.

"Your highness, they're here."

Skye's eyes lit up: "Good. Send them in."

With that, Skye relaxed in his chair with a broad smile on his face.

'B**ch, just you wait!'

.

Din Din Din Din.

6 tall, strong, and very burly men walked into the room calmly, passing several quarters within the enormous suite before reaching the master bedroom.

If they wanted to speak privately, it was best to choose the room furthest away from the main door.

"Please, sit.

We've been expecting you."

"Hmm."

With that, the guests sat around the table that had been dragged from the suite's living room area to the master bedroom.

Now it was time to get down to business.

"Primate Yao, once again, thank you and the temple for accepting my request.

But I don't know if you really can complete it?" Skye said curiously.

Yao waved his hands with indifference: "Prince, We, the temple of Dragmus, only fight battles that we are sure to win. So if we dared to take up your request, then you can be sure that we are fully prepared for the task."

Yao was a little bit annoyed by Skye's seemingly doubting nature.

What a joke!

Since the temple came into existence, they had never lost a single battle.

Why? Because they always kept calm and had a good head on their shoulders. 

So if he was here today, then this means that dealing with Penelope would be a piece of cake.

He was a Primate (Bishop) of the temple sent with 150,000 men who were all very robust.

Sure, with all the nobles here and the royals, the Capital probably had 900,000 or more guards.

But so what?

It wasn't particularly numbers that led to one's victory.

All they needed to do was focus on the primary team around their targets, do their job and instill fear into the rest.

And after killing the rituals, who would dare go against a prince from Veinitta?

The rest would more likely drop their weapons since their leaders were dead.

Yoa and his men planned to surprise attack the enemy, take advantage of the confusion and deal with them as they pleased.

And with the many barrels of black powder they borough, it was enough to guarantee their success.

.

Skye felt relieved seeing Yao's attitude.

You should know that he had been communicating with the temple for a year now.

That's right.

Since the temple was only based in Yodan and Deiferus, just sending a letter took months and months to get to their boss 

Not to talk about getting a replay and sending people over.

Luckily, they made it on time, since they arrived 4 days ago.

Additionally, during this time, for extra security measures, Skye had sent for some of his men from the continent of Veinitta to meet him here too.

Now, he had extra security just in case.

Yao looked at Skye lazily.

"My men are stationed in the city's outskirts.

So when it's time to move, I'll send someone to you once more to meet up with us hours before the ceremony begins.

And another thing... my little birdies told me that King Micheal of Terique arrived this morning with their men.

But that's not all.

Yesterday, King William of Arcadina also arrived with his mother as well.

So just as my glorious leader predicted, in addition to killing Penelope and her family, it would be good if either King William or Micheal got taken down as well.

And that's where you and your men come in.

While we focus on Carona and its forces, your men will pick a target and take him down.

I expect that you all can handle this much, right?

I mean, the monarchs arriving won't come with all their forces but a tiny fraction, presumably with 800 or more guards.

But you, Prince Skye, requested for 20,000 of your men to meet you here in Carona.

And from what we've been told, they are already here.

So, with that many men, you will be able to take down a measly 800 or even a thousand, right?"

"_"

.

Skye sat in silence, and both parties stared eye to eye for a while before Skye nodded in agreement.

He wanted to ask how they knew exactly how many men he got from Veinitta, but when he thought of the mysterious temple's background, he felt that it was only fitting for them to know.

It looked like under their eyes; he would never be able to pull a fast once on them... Because in truth, he did think of double-crossing the temple later on.

But now, he dared not.

Of course, his performance also fell into the eyes of those from the temple.

Yao chuckled playfully.

Even though Veinitta was higher than the Pyno continent in terms of prestige, to the temple which was used to dealing with the Pirate organization and other top dogs in the continent of Morgany, Skye was still a few years too young to think of doublecrossing them.

Only they could betray others, not the other way around.

They scoffed in disdain at the young Prince.

The only reason why they agreed to even let him rule after taking over was so that he would be indebted to them just like the Deifers were ages ago when they helped them 'defeat' the pirates.

Now, they didn't have enough time and manpower to look after Carona as a whole.

So why not place someone indebted to them there?

And when they were ready, they would take back the empire.

Their main plan since their existence was to unite all memories under their rule, forming just one empire, which they would call Dragmus.

So everything they did was well calculated, with almost no chance for any mishaps.

.

Yao looked at him playfully: "Prince, you know... Apart from William and Micheal, it would be best if you take someone else out too. We predict that this person will arrive anytime before the wedding since our sources say that he's very close to the royals here."

Skye knew that he had no choice here. So his only option was to agree: "Alright. I'll take care of the person. But who exactly is he?"

Yao smiled for the first time since stepping in: "Prince, I'm glad you asked. He's one of the most famous people on the continent... He's none other than his Majesty Landon Barn."
