Chapter 586 Their Master

"Your highness, please kneel.

I know you aren’t stupid..... so connect the dots yourself."

Eli’s eyes bulged out widely and his mind went blank for a moment.

Typically, he knew how to control his expressions very well.

But this particular incident had him shook.

His mouth opened up slightly, and he looked at Zarius in shock.

Why?

Why did he betray him?

Wasn’t he good to Zarius all these years?

Even though Zarius wasn’t one of his aides... He was still one of his closest knights who had always been by his side.

In fact, one would day that Zarius was like his personal secretary.

But even at that, because Zarius’ status wasn’t as high as those of his aides, not all information could be passed onto Zarius... At least not until the moment they were setting out for war or anything else.

Because when he discussed with his aides, they usually agreed to keep things away from everyone else... Even their best friends and families.

So as protocol, Eli typically didn’t tell Zarius any of his plans... Until it was time for him to take action.

All he could do was tell Zarius to prepare the men for an upcoming mission..... But that was it.

.

Of course, Eli didn’t mind sharing or showing Zarius some letters or important info.

But whenever Zarius asked him what were his next steps, he would always stay silent and tell Zarius to prepare the men instead.

He never specified anything or even gave any specific date for when they would move out.

The men just knew that they had to be prepared, and could move out anytime that their leader commanded it.

After all, they got paid to train and battle... So they had no right to question their leader’s commands.

Zarius was usually the person who personally gave messages to Eli, and after reading it... Eli would give third massages to Zarius to read as well.

But whatever Eli decided to do about the issue, Zarius had never known until the time to move out.

Again... One should know that Eli received several good and bad messages several times in one month.

And all the time, Eli would just tell him to prepare the men.

So it was generally hard for anyone to guess what they were preparing the men for.

Was it to go to the Capital and make plans against Alec, raid over places and take in more men, or even deal with Slytherin Cord’s mess.

In fact, Eli had also had some matters out of Arcadina that directly involved him.

.

Eli and Connor looked at Landon hatefully.

No wonder Landon had arrived here today as well.

So it turns out that these traitors had found a way to sneak out information to him ages ago.

Even Eli who had hidden this information well, was surprised that Zarius had known of his plans ahead of time and had even informed Landon about them too.

It really looked like he had been raising a wolf all this while.

Connor also thought in the same manner as well.

And when both princes looked at Landon, they wanted to see what made him so special that their people would be bought over by him in such a short period of time.

"Little brother... It seemed that we have truly underestimated you once more.

To think that you would be able to make our men turn against us in such a short time."

"Little brother, you are truly great!"

Landon looked at his angry brothers and couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

"Elder brothers... I’m innocent alright?"

"Hmph!

Little brother, do you take us for fools?

Do you really want us to believe that you came here purely on coincidence?

How naive do you think that we are?!!"

"In addition to that, If you’re innocent.... then who’s the real culprit?"

"I Am!!" Said a deep voice from behind the duo.

They tilted their heads and looked at the culprit in shock and confusion.

How... How could it be him?

They stared at the person moving towards them amidst the battle in shock.

As for the culprit, he was none other than William.

"Excuse me... Coming through...ah! Because with your sword friend, it looks really sharp."

(-_-)

William was currently holding peanuts in his hands while waiting and avoiding the men who were fighting along his path.

Of course, he was also surrounded by some Baymardian soldiers as well.

"Sigh... Little cousins, I was so bored in that vehicle... So I decided to see you all instead.

Hm... These peanuts are so good.

Eh... Do any of you want any?"
