nEli smiled gleefully, as he felt like a kid who just got all their Christmas wishes answered.

nIndeed, it was definitely his time to shine.

nNo one other than himself could be the next ruler of Arcadina.

n

"Your highness... Are we really not going to rescue Mr. Slytherin?

" asked the hooded man, who had immediately pulled Eli out of wonderland and back to reality.

nEli frowned and calmly got up from his bed.

nHe walked towards the hooded man and stopped directly in front of him in a very 'close manner'.

nThey were so close that if the hooded man were to stick his tongue out... It would undoubtedly touch Eli's lower privates.

n'Your highness... Please, begging you.

nCan you just cover up a tad bit?

nDid I maybe say something that made you mad?

nIf not, then why are you right in my face like this?'

n(;´Д`)

nThe hooded man didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

nWhat sort of situation had he found himself in?

nHe tried his best to maintain his composure while waiting for Eli to make his point.

n

"Hmm?

nYou actually want me to waste my resources in saving that fool?

nThe fool had never been of any use to me ever since the day that he lost to the Ghostly prince.

nThe fool had been wasting my money, as well as my resources for the past few years with no yields.

nSo why should I go out and save him?

nMore still... A dog that doesn't obey its master, is as good as dead.

nOver the last few years, he hasn't accepted any of the missions given to him... Unless it concerned the ghostly prince.

nI had one day told him that his obsession would kill him..... As I was right.

nThe bloody good truly got what he deserved.

" Eli said arrogantly.

n

"But your highness... This is the great Slytherin Cord that we are talking about!!

nHe is one of the most intelligent men that we can ally with.

nHis forces will definitely aid us in fighting against your father and your siblings... Your highness.

nWe need him to.....

"

n

"Capris!.... We don't him!

nAs for his intelligence, I will admit that Slytherin is indeed an intelligent man.

nBut that was before he became obsessed.

nYou see, over the years... The fool had become redundant and daft with every loss he had from his encounters with the ghostly prince.

nHe had slowly lost confidence in himself, as well as his men.

nAnd even if I wanted to rescue him, it would be utterly impossible now.

nAfter touching that man's mother, do you really think that he would still be alive to this day?

nTsk!

nFor sure, he's already dead!

" Eli said, while finally walking away from the hooded man who's name was Capris.

n.

nCapris breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw his master step away from his face.

n'Thank the ancestors', he thought.

n

"Your highness, with Slytherin's matter out of the way..... what about Oden Barn?

nDo we tell your father that his brother had somehow come back from the dead?

"

n

"No!

nWe keep my father out of this.

nEven though it would be beneficial for my father to fight Uncle one-on-one..... I would prefer to keep him out of the matter for now.

nFather has already gathered his army, and is already preparing for war with Baymard.

nI just received a letter that he is planning to go out, 2 weeks from now... So that sometime in spring, he would be able to launch a full-scale attack on Baymard.

nSo you see, I need him to be the escape-lamb and fight that bastard brother of mine.

nBecause if he found out that Oden was alive, he would unquestionably get distracted from dealing with Baymard.

nCapris!... Our goal is to have both Arcadina and Baymard under our rule.

nSo never forget that!

"

n

"Yes, your highness!

"

n

"Good!

nFrom what I've said, it seems like this uncle of mine had given all his powers to my cousin.

n

n

nSo the only person that we truly need to keel a lookout for, is my cousin.

nWith that said, since no one saw you go in and out of the place... That means that we have one advantage up our sleeves.

"

n

"Your highness... Are you saying that we should attack them now?

"

n

"Yes, Capris!... Let's give them the element of surprise!

"

n

"Brilliant your highness!

nTheir base is only a 3-week ride from ours.

nSo if we give them a surprise attack, then we can finish them off without even having them a chance to call for backup.

"

n

"It's good that you fully understand my plans.

nSo quickly round up the men and prepare them for battle.

nI'm presently waiting for another message from the South.

nSo we will set off 2 weeks from now and arrive sometime in early March.

nThis time, nothing and no one will be able to save this seat cousin of mine from death.

"

n.

nWhile Eli was preparing for his so-called surprise attack, unbeknownst to him... Someone else was also making and as well.

nWhen Slytherin had been caught previously, 2 unidentified men chased him right into William's Den.

nOne was Eli's man... And the other was someone who no one would ever suspect.

nLife was truly f**king great!

nIn another base close to Eli's secret base, a tall burly man currently had his back facing a masked man who was kneeling down before him.

n

"Hahahhahahahaha!

nI knew that this stingy brother of mine was hiding something from me!

nHe was too quiet and suspicious all of a sudden.

nBut luckily, I took your advice a year ago and secretly followed this Slytherin fellow who you said was my brother's subordinate.

nIn addition to that, we managed to locate my brother's base here and built our own secret base close to his.

nThis way, we can observe the bastard without even knowing it.

nI'm really glad that mother had gifted you to me, Gavo.

nBecause never in my wildest dreams, would I have thought that things would get this juicy all of a sudden.

nHahahhahahahha!!!

nTo actually think that I have a cousin who is actually the real heir to the throne is really something else!

" The burly man said, before finally turning around to face his subordinate.

nAnd of course, the burly man... Was none other than Connor Barn.
