26 War is Never Fair (2/2)

”Shut up you lot!! I will not allow you to destroy his Family so long as I live!.”

Leaving enraged Elder Lloyd who served the King for more than half his life, both men long ago bonded as sworn brothers during the days of expanding the Kingdom. One a great military leader the other while just average on the battlefield is a Master when it comes to Politics and espionage.

....

In a secret chamber a few hours later.

”We should move to Kill the King tonight, we have everything set up he has ruled for far to long without appointing an heir, how can he not have chosen after all this time they just want to hold onto power longer.”

”Tonight we rid ourselves of both the King and his brother Elder Lloyd”

Sitting in the corner while the others chat is Elder Edmond with a sinister grin on his face and a crown on his head.

.....

In a courtyard inside Bright Heart Palace.

”Brother we have to leave my spies have already seen most of the guards leave their post, they will act against you tonight!!” Looking over at the worried younger brother of his, King Flame Heart shakes his head saying. ”They won't allow me to leave the Palace even if I try they will act upon me, I will entrust my family to you dear brother after all the assassinations and murders of my bloodline how could I not be ready to save the few remaining members. Take them and meet with Three Suns ask him to take care of my family he owes me a few favors after all. I will stay here and keep their attention, take them and leave now my personal guard is already ready to move once you arrive.”

Looking at King Flame Heart, Lloyd could not stop his tear's from running down his face as hatred consumed his heart vowing to return avenging his brother who saved his life countless times on the battlefield became King even appointed him the position of Elder. ”Alright Flame Heart I, Lloyd swear to lead your girls to safety even at the cost of my life, but don't blame me for returning to aid you once its done. I will ask if they will provide help to me in rescuing you, if not I will come back alone for you!”

”Don't be like this Lloyd you know as much as I war is never fair, those with power will use it against those without it. Lets just hope this new Empress is willing to save my family without my surrender, after all they want the kingdom not extra support.”

Looking at Lloyd leave King Flame Heart moves to his bed room, as he begins putting on his military uniform one last time admiring his trusted sword that has been with him for his entire reign.

In the darkness of night in the Palace forces move about, some leaving without a trace others moving to execute their long time King of Thagia. Everyone having their own motives and wishes as this day will forever be remembered by them. Those who killed their king, and the Twin sisters who will avenge their father giving up everything for power.
