Chapter 49: STORMING THE MITHRIDOCUS FAMILY
STORMING THE MITHRIDOCUS FAMILY
A multitude of people, comprising individuals of various ages, converged upon the Mithridocus family mansion, brandishing sticks and stones, their resolve fueled by the damning reports in the newspapers they held. United in purpose, they advanced toward the Mithridocus abode, seeking answers.
Guided by the Church, its priests, and knights, the common folk surged forward, intent on interrogating the Mithridocus family, accused of collaborating with malevolent forces.
Undeterred, the Mithridocus clan dismissed the growing unrest and dispatched a formidable militia of skilled knights to quell the uprising.
At the patriarch's command, the militia clashed with the advancing church and commoners, employing both swords and magic to thwart their intrusion onto Mithridocus property. The conflict escalated as the two factions collided in a tumult of chaos.
Unexpectedly, the city's army emerged from the rear of the commoners, aligning with militias from other noble houses. This combined force relieved the beleaguered common people and church, standing together to confront the Mithridocus family and bring an end to the tumultuous clash.

"Master, the Church brought many people to the gates of our mansion demanding an explanation from us", a servant reported to Prince Heller.
"Do something you people", Prince Heller told his advisors.
"Our guards have already gone out to chase them away", an advisor told the prince.
"This damn church, will they stop pestering me? Shoo them away," Prince Heller scolded the church.
"There is a conspiracy involved. They came armed with these fake news", an advisor told the prince as he showed him several newspapers from the Herald Times.
"Damn these Kaleons, I haven't started dealing with them and they dare come up with this nonsense", Prince Heller told his advisors.
"They are just some bloody priests and peasants, what can they do to us?" Frederer asked the patriarch.
"It all started with that Khaleaf, why in hell does he want to secretly learn bone magic, isn't our vast library of magic skills not enough for him?" an advisor told them.
"It is too late to talk about him now, he is already dead. Just resolve the matter with these bloody church and peasants", Prince Heller told his clansmen.
Suddenly, someone rushed into the clan's hall with a report.
"Elders, our guards wounded some of the priests and peasants", he reported to the elders.
"Hell, bloody kill all of them if I care", Prince Heller told the scout.
"That is not the problem, the armies of Prince Raslee are here, behind the peasants and the church", the scout reported.
"Prince Raslee? How dare he interfere with the business of our family? Does he really think he owns this city?" Patriarch Heller asked.
"Our militia are far stronger than the city's armies", an advisor told the prince.
"Well, let's teach that useless son of the king a lesson about interfering with the matters of the noble families", Prince Heller shouted out.
"Patriach, there are more who came besides the prince of the city. The Appolokis, Demetriodes and Hemaios family are all here with their militias", the scout reported.
"All the noble houses are here, why?" Prince Heller asked in shock and surprise.
"The other Noble Houses are always eyeing our territory and property, they must be using the opportunity to take advantage of us", an advisor told the clan patriarch.
"What did we do wrong? There must be a justification for attacking our Noble family?" Frederer asked.
"The justification to attack us is in these newspapers", an advisor told the clan as he held the Herald Times.
"But those are just fake news", Prince Heller shouted out angrily.
"We attacked the Cardinal and his men and wounded some peasants, that is not fake. If we are only against the city's guards, that is an easy matter to resolve, but against all the other noble families is another matter altogether", another advisor told the clan.
"The other Noble Houses have been waiting for this misfortune to happen to us, to get rid of us and steal our properties", Prince Heller told the clan.
"If greed is involved, it doesn't matter that we are innocent", someone else added.
"This is all because of the Kaleon family", Prince Heller shouted out furiously.
"I suspect all this is because of the Earl of Kaleon. He is known to be devious. He grabbed all the wealth from Starri city's merchants before the war and now he is destroying our family", an elder told the clan.
"I will kill this Oriese," Frederer shouted out angrily.
"Now what do we do?" an advisor asked the prince.
"We go out and fight. If we lose, we escape to Mather city to seek help from the older patriarch", Prince Heller told the clansmen,
------
The entire Mithridocus clan rushed out of their mansion to confront those who came to arrest them. They were faced with the armies of the city and the other noble houses, led by Cardinal Dean himself.
"Prince Heller, you and your clansmen are all under arrest, under the orders of the Church of All-Seeing", Cardial Dean said to Prince Heller.
"Huh, the Appolokis, Demetriodes, Hermaios, what the hell are you doing here?" Prince Heller asked the soldiers from the other Noble families.
"We came under the order of the church of course, to arrest some deviants", Duke Corrigey of the Appolokis family replied to him.
"All of you came to steal our properties", Prince Heller screamed to those assembled before them.
"Obviously, the church will confiscate all your properties once you are found to be deviants and those properties would be distributed to fair citizens of the city", Duke Corrigey replied to the prince.
"Fine, Let's fight. Even all of you added together will not stop us. We will escape to Maher city to seek refuge from the old patriarch of Mithridocus and you will regret doing this to us today", Prince Heller told them.
"I am afraid you will not escape today, Heller", I said to the patriarch of the Mithridocus family suddenly to his shock and horror.
"You bastard. How dare you show your face in front of me?" Prince Heller shouted to me.
