บท 203: A puppet?

A few days later~

After continuous courtroom sessions and debates on strategies to gain control over the nearby kingdoms, Xavier was fed up to his core. When peace can be an option then why inflict pain upon innocent people because wars are never won without sacrificing from both sides, he used to think but didn't say aloud. 

Everyone around him including his grandfather and his loyal servant Devian who introduced himself as Xavier's uncle when they first met, were busy in gathering masses, weapons and introducing new maps. However, the one who was supposed to be leading the destruction was not interested in a slightest bit. 

For some odd reason his mind kept wandering back to that little kid from the forest and her mother. There was something weird about both of them and he didn't understand why after such a long time he had started feeling something, something like an urge to go there and see the kid again.
