"What" King Loyce shouted and stood up from his seat, he was mortified, his worst nightmares had come true, and his strongest allies had betrayed him and the kingdom,
the king was quite wary and suspicious of the siblings for a long time because he knew their strength and personality, he knew of their twisted tendencies and their nature to bully the weak, he knew there would be a power struggle but he never expected them to betray and attack them outright,
their strength was the only reason that they were not punished or executed in the first place after all their atrocities, the king needed their strength to keep his kingdom in check.
"Is it true, Rose!" Henry Niaflen shouted momentarily not believing the words of the head healer, as what she spoke was the thing he was most scared of, he knew the strength of the enemies and frankly, he didn't want to go against them, every single one of them is a force of nature and command more than one type of magic, which makes them twice as deadly as any other mages, on top of that they can borrow mana from there devil contractor making them inexhaustible fighting machines and quite an unrivaled military might, going up against them is nothing more than suicide, that's what Henry believed anyway,
"Do you think I would be joking about such a grave matter" Rose Growled.
Henry exited his stupor and apologized "Forgive me, Miss Rose, I was quite surprised I didn't want to question you"
"But why would they do that, " Henry asked, "their rank is just below the royal family and holds nearly the sequel value, the coup did not make any sense," he remarked.
"I don't know about the reason but the problem is that they have rebelled and have a 500 mages-strong army with them " Rose replied
"500 how did he even mobilize such a number right under our noses, it must be Zenon he must have teleported them with the help of his space magic, to think that the tables have turned this way,
more importantly, we only have 80 mages ready at hand in the castle including the maides and every available personal and a hundred more patrolling the city we don't have anywhere near the number of troops to fight against them at the moment "
the nearest reinforcement will take nearly 2 hours to reach or overpower their numbers, we have to do something quick,
Rose with a grave face said "You are right about that we have to do some, sitting here playing with our thumbs will get us nowhere,
Rose after a deep thought said to Henry
I will take the army to the grounds as the head commander and contact for reinforcements from surrounding kingdoms, all I want from you is to evacuate the royal family at this movement and go into hiding, fighting the dark Cult and endangering the lives of the royal family is not worth it, Leave and find shelter I will buy you enough time " Rouse shouted and relayed her orders
Rose as the Royal healer and as the 5 division Caption Gave her orders that prioritise the well-being of the kingdom and in turn the royal Family,
in time of this emergency, she had only one goal in mind that is the safety of the royal family, she cared not about anything else but just her goal, it was her duty and responsibility to keep the royal bloodline safe from any harm as the royal healer, and she planned on performing her duties as best as she could,
both the king and the Head caption didn't move after they hear Rose, They both were busy with their own thoughts
Henry was thinking about the future,
he was anticipating the conditions and state of the future,
he was thinking that if the royal family escaped just now where could they hide, where could they stay, Who would offer them protection, Who Could offer them protection, what is the way that the whole bloodline would escape, what would be the sacrifice, when would they rise again in power, and at the end of it all is it even worth it,
The king was Thinking about his kingdom
He was thinking what would be the future of the kingdom under the Dark Cult, would his people be happy or living good lives, could he stay away from the kingdom,
He was thinking about his family, he was thinking about how to save everything, King Loyce was not like other kings who are just powerful, opportunistic, and egotistical maniacs, who think they are above everyone,
King Loyce is a king and a loving king, though he loved his throne and would take action to protect it, he wasn't heartless either, he couldn't watch his people suffer,
The people of the king deserve a fighting chance and they will, the king will fight on their behalf,
Rose looked at both the king and the Caption with a sharp gaze as if to hurry them along but both of them stayed put,
"What are you idiots waiting for, leave" Rose shouted once again.
"Rose," The king said muffled under his breath as if someone had put a lot of weight on his shoulder,
"I can't leave Rose," the king said as if he were contemplating something he ended his pointless wondering and became determined.
"This is my kingdom, Rose, and I will Fight for its freedom,
I am its King and It's my duty to Protect it from the ones who wish it harm," the king shouted as if making it his resolve,
"This is my duty and this is my Honor" the king bellowed and made his resolve at that moment the king picked up his grimoire and changed his temperament, his calm and gentle deminer changed into that of a seasoned warrior and he bellowed out his commands,
