Chapter 356 - The Crown Prince’s Message (2) (unedited) (2/2)
Hearing the late crown prince's last words made me realize that he did not agree with the mad king's plans in the end. He surrendered when he saw that winning was not in their hands and defeat was eminent. He was a good leader, thinking of his people in the battle. It was unfortunate that his father was so crazy to activate the forbidden magic that destroyed the whole country of Atlantia. The late crown prince as a hero that tried to save his countrymen by trying to control the raging magic, giving the people time to run.
”He gave the people ample time to run to safety, the united army and also Atlantians in that battle field.” Dimitri said. ”He is a hero that saved the lives of those present in that battlefield.”
”The general of the united army if I am correct, is my father.” I said. ”So the late crown prince surrendered. I am sure that my father accepted it with open arms and offered amnesty to the Atlantians that surrendered.”
”The late crown prince's last words are proof that the united army did not slay the Atlantian royal family in cold blood, as Patricia believes.” Dimitri said. ”This can help change the tide of the battle with the Atlantians under her as well.” He said with hopeful eyes.
”No wonder Jeremy had a change of heart. But I am doubtful that Patricia will change her mind, even after hearing this message.” I said. ”With her current mindset, she is not far from her father the mad king. She is delusional and crazy with obtaining power and seeking revenge. But you are correct in one thing. This message can help us with the Atlantians under her wing. Maybe even Gladiolus will have a change of heart, after I have already planted seeds of doubt in his mind against his mother.”
*KNOCK KNOCK*
”Your highness, it's me William.” I heard William's voice.
”Come in William.” I replied.
The door opened and William came in.
”Chris has just arrived your majesty.” William informed me. ”He came with a big group of men.”
”That is good to hear.” I stood up knowing that the lycans had heeded my call. ”It looks like Belgor had came to offer us some help.” I beamed a smile.
I quickly got up and exited the room to recieve the guests I have called upon. When i arrived at the foyer of the mansion, what i saw was not only a handful of lycans but it can be called a small army.
”Belgor, it is good to see you once again.” I quickly walked towards him. ”Thank you for coming.”
”It is also good to see you as well this soon brother.” Belgor opened his wide arms and caught me into his embrace. His expression looked so joyous that there was no doubt he was happy to see me.
”Y-Your majesty!” Dimitri was taken by surprise by the sudden closeness of Belgor to me that he saw it as a threat and was about to go to my aid but I quickly waved my hand telling him it is alright.
”I am happy that you have called for my help.” Belgor said while releasing me from his arms. ”Now tell me what happend brother and how can we help you.”
