Back in the meeting room, Iduna was glaring at a certain man in the room, specifically the King of Thalassar Kingdom, Morn.
Earlier after Agnarr left with the bald man, Morn suddenly stood up and much to everyone's shock, the bandits just acted normally and even nodded at Morn with respect before eventually revealing that Morn was actually behind all of this.
"You traitor." Iduna venomously spat out her words with contempt.
"I am her doing us all a favour. Iduna, this alliance will bring us nowhere. We need war to advance, we can't live forever under the banner of peace. Peace brings us nothing but only makes us soft. We need violence in this world." The King of Thalassar Kingdom stated with certainty and a hint of superiority in his voice.
"I just want to go back to my Kingdom." Fiona's father, Harold sank in his chair and decrepitly muttered his words.
"Your Kingdom? What Kingdom? As a matter of fact, I have been planning all this for 20 years! From the moment the Alliance was built." Morn responded much to Harold and every King's uneasiness.
"I have stationed all my knights in all of your Kingdoms. I know what you're thinking...." Morn then placed his hands behind his back before pacing back and forth around the room.
"That this is impossible or something and that I can't do this alone. You're right. It is indeed impossible if it wasn't for the help of a certain someone. Obviously, I wouldn't disclose such information but let's refer to him as my guardian angel...." Morn continued while everyone's eyes were tracing his figure.
"...In return for helping him find something and someone. He'll give me power that would make me realize my plans. Obviously, I didn't believe me at first but after he showed me his might? I realized that he has the power to change this world, to me he is a god!" Morn raised his hands and clasped them against each other, seemingly as if he was praying to the gods.
"And that trumpet earlier? Pfft, it's a fake obviously. He would be back here any minute now and with the flower that my guardian angel asked of me." Morn finished and with that, everyone snapped out of their stupor and realized that they were actually submerged in listening to Morn's story! They're like children that are listening to their bedtime story!
"You said earlier that this 'Guardian Angel' asked you to find something which I presume is the flower? Then who is this someone?" Out of everyone in the room, only Iduna managed to listen carefully to every word that Morn said earlier and noticed that something was amissed so she asked.
"Oh, you're sharp Queen Iduna, I commend you for that. Yes, you are right the flower isn't as important as this 'someone' that he is looking for. He only told me that this 'someone' is a devil. That's all he told me. It would be hard for me to find this devil if it wasn't for the clues and rumors that I got from my informants." Morn stopped in his tracks and clapped his hands for Iduna, complimenting him which just made Iduna scowl in return.
"And who do you suspect of being the devil, Morn? Hopefully, it's you, after all you're the only devil I see here in this room." Iduna felt like she knows who this devil that Morn is talking about, so she asked Morn, though not right insulting him after.
"You've got some nice jokes there, Queen Iduna." However, Morn could only see himself as having the upper hand right now, so he doesn't care about the petty insult from Iduna and simply continued without much hassle.
"The Flame Predator, Jin. Thanks to his previous feat of taking down an entire Kingdom by himself led me into suspecting him in being the Devil that my 'Guardian Angel' is asking me to look out for." Morn then suddenly dropped the bomb, though only Iduna was surprised the most since out of everyone in the room who only knew the Flame Predator from the rumors, she's the only one who knows the Flame Predator personally.
"Flame Predator? Isn't he just a myth?" A King exclaimed in question while the other Kings, Harold included, nodded their heads in agreement.
"A myth? Oh, he is much more than just a myth. He is real, very real and he is the devil. The vile creature that goes against everything! Don't you all agree with me, fellow Kings?" Morn then turned his attention to the rest of them who either nodded their heads in agreement or out of fear of him.
"Hehehe..." Morn chuckled creepily before turning his head to Iduna.
"Queen Iduna. From the information I received, you actually not only took the devil under your wings but even bethrothed him on one of your daughters, Princess Elsa?! How outrageous, a beauty like her should be suited to someone like me." Morn then exaggeratedly praised himself while at the same time, Iduna felt like puking at Morn's remark. Elsa is suited for him? Iduna frowned in disgust as Morn is everything except a handsome man. He is so old that Iduna even wonders if he could still get an erection.
"You wish." Iduna glared at Morn.
"Oh dear. I was already expecting this. But don't worry, once I get my hands on the location of this devil. Elsa will be mine, along with you and you and you and all of your Kingdoms!" Morn grinned like a madman while pointing his index finger at the Kings one by one. With each King flinching when the index finger is pointed at them.
"So much ambition for a dead man!" Suddenly, Iduna heard her husband's voice not far from them.
"What?" Surprised, everyone turned their heads on the source of the voice and found Agnarr throwing a long sword towards his brother, Frederic.
"Brother catch!" Agnarr yelled at the same time.
As soon as Frederic saw the sword and heard his name being called, he didn't hesitate to stand up and catch the flying sword by the handle before smacking its butt on the surprised bandit by his side.
Meanwhile, Agnarr was already running towards the nearest bandit he saw and slashed his own sword towards him.
*Splash!*
"Gaackkhh!"
Before coming here, Agnarr firstly ran towards the treasury room where he kept his father's sword, which was also the very sharpest sword there is despite its age.
"Take them down!" Seeing that two of the bandits are down in one go, Morn quickly pointed and ordered them.
Meanwhile, Agnarr and Frederic got closer and pushed their backs against each other, while intently watching their enemy movements.
"Just like back then eh?" Agnarr chuckled and said to Frederic.
"Hahaha, yeah I remembered when we planned on ways to defeat General Bod. Until this day, we still can't defeat him." Frederic replied with an oldly chuckle.
"That's because he died before we hit puberty." Agnarr said in return before they both stepped forward and struck their enemies.
*Clang!* x2
***
While the meeting room had its own chaos, the battlefield outside was getting tense and heat up as more and more knights from Thalassar kept appearing.
"How the hell did Thalassar manage to get this much knights?"
"Most of them aren't knights, I could see from the looks on their faces that they're mercenaries instead of a knight." A knight captain of Arendelle critically observed and expressed his opinion.
"We must group together and push forwa-!" The knight captain was about to continue when everyone in the battlefield suddenly heard a little girl's scream followed by the Thalassar General Knight's declaration.
"Aaaaaahhh!"
"Stop this instant or this little girl gets it!"
"Princess Anna!" Seeing the familiar girl on the Thalassar General Knight's arms, the Arendelle Knights exclaimed and shouted in both surprise and fear.
"Anna!" Elsa also saw the commotion and saw her own sister being held hostage by the Genera Knight of Thalassar Kingdom.
"Princess Anna?" The General Knight was confused until he got a good look on Anna's face before grinning to himself.
"Hahaha! Just my luck! Now, all of you Arendelle, including you Princess Elsa and that orange haired chick. Stop resisting or else your Princess Anna gets it!" The General Knight threatened loudly as the Arendelle Knights looked at one another before eventually sighing in defeat and started dropping their swords on the ground.
"That's it! Gahahaha!" The General Knight was at bliss, he felt like he held the power over the entire Arendelle Kingdom! All because of the little brown haired Princess that he's holding right now
Meanwhile, Tigress glared at the General Knight as her feet were slowly glowing in a golden hue. She was ready to use her full force to instantly arrive in front of the General Knight and incapacitate him before saving Anna.
However, just as Tigress was about to go and do as she plans, someone suddenly beats her to it.
"Now you all kneel before me, especially you Princess Els-!?" The General Knight was suddenly interrupted when he noticed that a shadow was looming over him. He was about to turn his head in the sky but it was too late as Jin in his Devil form grabbed him by the shoulder before throwing him up far in the air. His throw was so strong that it caused sonic booms in the sky. Jin doesn't know if he's still alive after that and even if he is, he's probably somewhere in the space by now.
"Ahhhh!" However, Anna was also thrown in the sky.
