16 The Plan (2/2)

Minister Brian waved at manager xing and headed out to his mansion licking his lips.

***************************

Sun sank lower in the sky, the light of day draining away, giving way to the velvety dark of night, crickets chirping, stars started to glimmer in the dark blue sky,

Don and Uncle Dior were watching a big beautiful manor from afar.

Guards dressed in chainmail and armor walking around the manor with spears and shields. Don scanned the manor to figure out a way to get into the manor without alerting Minister Brian or his five great master guards, he was not afraid of the guards but he was a person who never gives the enemy any chances to prepare a counter-attack.

Eventually, while Don was looking at the patrolling guards a fancy looking carriage pulled by four pegasuses arrived at Brian's manor.

”Brian,” Uncle Dior confirmed.

”So what's the plan?” Uncle Dior urged Don for an answer.

Don leaned on the tree with arms crossed and asked

”What do you think?”

Evidently, Uncle Dior thought of himself as more of a brain guy than brawn guy, he knew Don also valued his inputs so he racked his brain for a better way to reach Brian,

Don already had a plan but he wanted to get some inputs from Uncle Dior as he might give some ideas or ways he forgot in his plan.

”We saw the guards looked tired so the guard changing may come at that exact moment there will be some holes in the security especially at the back because of that huge wall, no one would think that someone will climb or fly over it”

”Why?”

”You kidding? Except for that huge wall in the back, other walls around the manor are covered with magic runes to detect intruders as for flying there also security measures in place especially someone's home like Brian's so if we can figure out a way to climb over the wall...” Uncle Dior started to formulate a plan.

”You are right mostly,”

”You have a plan?” Uncle Dior saw Don's I mean Mike's relaxed face and couldn't help but ask,

”Yes as you said the guards are tired but they won't switch them all at once, they do it, group by group ”

”Hmm makes sense, doing it like that, minimize the security risks but it will be bad for us right?”

”Yes if there aren't any great master magis”

Uncle Dior confused to hear that,

”You lack battle experience,” Don exclaimed and continued

”The guards were so alert before because if anything goes wrong they are the one will be blamed but we saw the great masters return so the guards will relax and let down their guard a bit”

”Hmm, what about that huge wall did you also plan to climb?”

”You sure that the huge wall is not covered with magic runes?”

”Yes I couldn't see any magic fluctuations around it”

”As I said battle experience, they want you to think that way”

”What? Are you telling me it was covered in magic?”

”Yes if someone wants to get inside they choose that wall because they think there are no magic fluctuations but it's similar to walking into a trap”

”So how are we going to get inside and save the poor girl?” Uncle Dior started to shake in fear thinking about the half-elf girl

”We are not I am, the walls only detect someone with the magic core, in another word everyone else besides me,” Uncle Dior noticed a sudden mix of anger and sadness in Don's voice while he talked about the latter part.

Don's plan made sense to him because the guards or even the great masters won't expect someone from another world without magic core would come knocking.

”But what about the five great masters? are you sure you won't get noticed”

”There is no such thing as SURE in a plan but since Brian brought that girl, he wouldn't let the great masters look at him while he is playing”

He was going to say raping but by noticing Uncle Dior's reaction before he went with the word playing,

”Didn't that Akihiro guy mentioned that they never leave his side?”

”Never leave his side is not means keeping him in front of them all the time don't worry”

As they were discussing the plan, the guard switching time arrived, a group of guards went inside the barracks while the new group of guards came out, just as Don said the new guards seemed, relax

”Its time, you change your robes and go and wait for me hiding outside the city walls don't talk to anyone and don't act suspicious”

”Alright I'll see you there” as he heard Uncle Dior, Don started to walk towards Brian manor,

”Ah, Don” Don looked over his shoulder,

”May Corellon be with you,” Uncle Dior said as Don nodded and initiated his plan.
