--Indomia City, The Empire Of Arcadina--

’Aishhhh!’
"Be a little gentle will you!!" Said a young man who was currently in pain.
The immense pain had taken up a portion of his brain, as if dealing with it was expending all his brain power.
For some reason, although the injured part heart a lot... his brain kept receiving pain flashes, as waves of unbearable pain had washed over him, making him want to scream out in agony.
His entire body felt like it had been run over by 20 horses.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
His butt felt like it had several boils on it, and his entire body felt like it would break apart any minute now.
He couldn’t eat, he couldn’t sleep.... he couldn’t sit.
And because of all these things, the man had become unbelievably cranky.
The healers around the man were also somewhat helpless with the situation as well.
They had been scolded by the man, who had wanted his injuries to heal up by the end of the month.
But that would be sorcery.
From their point of view.... given the severity of his injuries, he would need at least 6 months before he was fully healed.
They could only sigh helplessly at his antics.
He indeed looked pitiful.
The man’s left cheek was swollen hard, as it had a very vibrant reddish purple color to it.
It was clear that whoever punched him, must have definitely used his full force.... as even the injury had another injury on top of it.
There were several torn patches of skin on the man’s swollen cheek, making it look a poker dotted injury of purple and red.
And that was not all....
Leaving his face and trailing down to his lower body.... one could see that the young man had other purple welts scattered across his chest, back and right arm, like a contagious disease.
At this point, even breathing to him was somewhat painful for him.... as his ribcage was almost broken by his enemies.
From the looks of it, he was stabbed with a sword at his lower belly, shot with an arrow at his right arm and back... as well as punched multiple times in different locations.
Who was this man who had been beaten to a pulp?
Hehehe..... he was indeed the cowardly bootlicking 3rd prince of Arcadina, James Barn.
.
James truly aggrieved with his current situation.
He had requested for the the empire of Terique to handle Eli, and had even promised to give them 60% of Arcadina’s land.
But how come Eli was fine, while he was lying here barely being able to breathe?
Dammit!!.... he should’ve never believed those Terique Scoundrels.
Back to his situation, when he was sleeping in camp..... he had meet with 6 assassination attempts, all of which had left him with several injuries all over his body.
He felt like those assassins were thugs rather than professionals.
They would punch him, and laugh... while poking his eyes, and stabbing him here and there.
Sure, he was a scumbag... but did he really deserve such treatments from his enemies?
They had even slapped him and stepped in his neck and ribs multiple times.
Funny enough, they said that they were just there to play with him.
.
Connor was deep in thought.
Surprisingly while he was fighting at the borders, he met with no assassins.
It seems like his brothers didn’t care to take care of him at all.
He knew that James wouldn’t do anything, but he was surprised that Eli didn’t attack him as well.
It seemed like he was the only one who was wary of them.
What a bunch of Idiots!!!
Yes... during that time, he had sent assassins to both James and Eli.
He sent assassins to play with James, as it would be suspicious if both brothers died at once.
He had hired them to break James body, so that he wouldn’t be able to walk around for a while.
For Eli, he had requested for them to kill him.
Is plan was simple..... when Eli died and father saw that James was badly injured, father would have no choice but to make him the crown prince.
But who would’ve thought that Eli would survive and ruin all his plans?
He had to think fast.
Right now, he had already got a reply from the number 1 assassin Mr. Death.
Long story short, he also needed several bags of coins to please such a man.
Unfortunately, he was somewhat short of cash.
Afterall, he too had bribed people to his side a while ago.
He reckoned that judging from the large sum of money used for his campaign... he would only be able to recover it all by the end of next year.
He had gone all out, and at the end..... the crown prince was still Eli.
What a pity...
In his mind, he had concluded that he would borrow the money from his mother instead.
No matter what, Eli had to die.
Hence, he was willing to spend any amount to kill him.
And just like that, both brothers had been granted an audience with the Famous Mr Death.

.
While his brothers were busy plotting on him, Eli was rather relaxed as he was looking forward to something else.
Before he left the borders his men had told him about how they were disgraced by his bastard brother Landon.
Surprisingly, he was still alive.... but thefunny thing was that he was now a bonnified savage.
He had heard that his clothes and shoes were so tattered that they looked like a dog had chewed on them.
Previously, he wanted to wait until he came back to the Capital before sendinghis men to attack Landon.
But his subordinates pleaded that they wanted to go ahead and deal with the brat., so he had sent them on their way with 1,300 men several months ago.
And judging form the distance from his camp, to Baymard....they shouldbe arriving anytime soon.
’Finally, Baymard would soon be mine.’
