Chapter 140: But How Would He Do That?

Lucien's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "You're telling me one of them survived the fall of Katalya and is taking revenge?"

Juliet nodded seriously. "That's exactly what I'm telling you. I've met him and he's seriously twisted. His name is Rukelion Blaze and, at this point, I'm fairly certain he's taken over this country. The night I fled the capital, he attacked the castle and there isn't a doubt in my mind he was successful."

"But how would he do that? Even the strongest mage couldn't take over a country on their own!" 

"I don't think he was on his own. I recently discovered he may have been working with Zelish wind mages on top of military allies. He used to be an officer in the Mirean Royal Army trying to tear them apart from the inside and he was involved in the war with Zel. I think he did something preventing them from all being killed in order to gain them as allies for when he planned his coup.
