The next day;All we had was a four hour break. Every servant will have today, but we would all take turns. Sam and Scott luckily had their break together with ours. Now Scott was persuading them to go see their mother, our aunt."No Scott, there's no need." I said."But why? Mother should know. We haven't told her because you asked us not too." He said."It's better that way, we feel really ashamed now." Gwen added."You two are talking nonsense, mother will definitely forgive you two." Said Sam. 'If only they knew that it was their mother that threw us out.' I thought."Why don't you just tell her, to make her feel at ease. We could come visit later." I said."Alright, now what do you two want to do now?" They have been standing outside of the palace gates all along."We were planing on going to some of the loan sharks in our village, probably we could find something about our parents." I told them. I'd already told them about the loans and that was probably what caused our parents
In the Kingdom of valeria;"WHAT! How is that possible!" King Darien voice boomed through the courtroom. Princess Isabelle winced at her brother's outburst. She knew that this wouldn't end well."We don't know. It was Vena kingdom who informed us about it. Barklull kingdom have already broken all ties with them." The minster of international affairs said. It was only him, the king and the princess that were in the room."When I thought we were already having an advantage over Devon, do you know when it happened?""No, but I believe it hasn't been a week.""Do you know what type of trouble this will cause for us? Barklull and Devon together, it will lead to a catastrophe. Even with our five allies, we won't be able to out match them." He said. He was starting to think hard. What will he do? Should he admit defeat? This wouldn't end well. He thought."I understand your highnes, I think...""Summon an urgent meeting with all our allies. We need to find a solution fast!""As you wish, you
"This is outrageous! Do you know the type of risk we're taking? Even when Devon didn't have any allies, we suffered major casualties. Now Barklull has joined them, what do you think will happen now?" The king of Wallby said with a strong tone. All of the allies of the Valerian kingdom got summoned for an urgent meeting. Now, they were being informed about the new alliance Devon had made."Exactly. Why did you have to do that to Barklull Darien? You just called doom for us." The king of Verascous said. He was suprised that Darien could do such a thing. It was really unnecessary."The deed has been done, now we have to find a solution." He said. Yes, he knew he was at fault here, but there was nothing that could be done to correct his wrong doings."I've been expecting Barklull to join with Devon for awhile. It's no secret that Barklull and Devon are extremely close. When the kings parents died, the late king of Devon helped them in ruling their kingdom. It's what made their kingdom flo
"Your highness, Felix is here. He wishes to see you." George said. Alexander was with one of his ministers. They were talking about a serious matter."He can wait till I'm done." He said simply. George shook his head in disapproval. "No your majesty, he says it's really important. It can't be delayed." George could see Felix's level of seriousness. He knew that it was a very urgent matter.Alexander had a frown on his face. He wondered what could be so important that Felix couldn't spare a minute."Send him in." With a bow, George went to fetch Felix. They arrived within two minutes."Your highness, I'm sorry for the disturbance, but it's an urgent matter." Alexander waved his hand at the minister, and with a brief bow, he left."So tell me, what is so important Felix?""I have information from Valeria, and it's very serious." He said."I understand that already, now get to the point.""Valeria, they are launching an attack. Infact, all of their allies are.""This isn't the first time
Alexander walked through the street of a village, which was almost in ruins. He wore a long black coat with a black hat. His steps were soft. There were people who roamed the streets aimlessly. Some stayed by a fire to get a little warmth, while some were passed out on the street. The place reeked of alcohol and cigarette. He removed his gaze from them and walked into a beat down bar. On getting in, he saw only five people there, plus the bartender. He went over and sat down."What ya want pal? You look like someone who orders the expensive drink, what about a whisky?" The lean man who looked extremely bony asked."Where's Zaka?" Alexander asked. The man's eyes widened when he realised who he was talking to."Your highness! I didn't realize, my deepest apolozies." He said with a bow. "Zaka, he's somewhere around here. I could go get him for you.""Hm, that would be good. And don't waste my time.""Of course, I'll be right back." He said and hurriedly left the bar. He got to the other
"Your majesty, there's barely enough time to plan a counter attack. How will we protect the people?""We can't save everyone and I already have a plan."The man stayed silent for a while. "Oh well, I'm all ears your majesty." He finally said."We are not going to need too many soldiers. 50 should be enough, I'm getting forty men before noon. King Carlos"s men are also joining us." The chief of the army nodded in agreement"How many soldiers do they have?" Carlos asked."About 75, remember it's a suprise attack they've planned, so they won't make use of that much men.""Your highness, why did you get other men? We already have enough." The chief of the army asked."Because they will serve as bait. The entry into Vicknall town will be evacuated secretly. These men, will act like town's people. They can also fight too, in case you're wondering." Said Alexander."I don't doubt that. But what if they decide to strike from another angle?""Then we will switch to plan B, but I doubt we'll be
The next day;The town of Vicknall looked quite peaceful. The people who lived in the the inermost part of the town went about their day, without a clue of what was about to happen. Zeke's men were already situated at their points at the entrance of the town. They were all dressed as civilized people of the distinguished town. They went up and about and came in and out of some stores that were opened. Zeke and Felix were two hundred metres away from the town. Zeke was using a pair of binoculars to see what was happening. They were in a small abondaned shop."Are you sure they wouldn't have called off the attack? They could have gotten tipped off, or perhaps they've planned a counterattack?" Asked Zeke."The attack is still happening and no one could have tipped them off." He said."I hope so." Zeke said as he chewed on a stick. Felix looked through the binoculars. He could see Zeke's men. They were playing their part well. The soldiers were at every corner of Vicknall town. When the Va
"Heavens, I thought it would never end." Zeke said, as he wiped an imaginary sweat off his forehead."It ended well.""Yes, now it's time for us to leave." Said Zeke."Not yet." Felix said. He left the shop as he saw his informant coming towards them. Zeke stared at them as they conversed. He saw Zeke give the man a sack of coins. His eyes furrowed a little and then the man left."What was that all about?""The informant that told us about the attack.""Oh, then he definitely deserved that pay." He said with a grin. "Now I have to go see how many of my men are left." Zeke said and walked away. Felix also left.Alexander stepped out of the carriage and walked into the palace. Carlos followed behind. "Alex, why didn't you tell me about the attack? I was terribly worried. Did everything go well?" Queen mother asked when she saw her son."It went perfectly well mother, don't you worry." Alex said reassuringly."Ok, but tell me what happened. When did you find out about the attack?""An in
