Chương 47: BAD NEWS

Back to Duchess Nindya and The King.

Nindya And The King had just arrived at The Capital City. Nindya choose to teleported to Titan Family's House which is near the Royal Palace.

Unlike Myerlion, Nindya had more flexible teleportation range. She only need to use thrice teleportation magic to reach the Capital City. And she did not need rest after spending so much energy.

It was pass midnight, when they arrived.

Guardian soldiers were the first one aware about their arrival, after administering military salute, they immediately call others.

But Nindya stop them. She said "Remember, Let none information leak out this house. No one allowed to know about whereabouts His Majesty here. Let no one know my arrival here, except our own people."

"Yes, Your Grace !"

"Wake the kitchen staffs up, tell them to prepare a feast for the King.."

" No need, Nindya. Just usual dinner is enough, I'm starving."

" Do you hear? Tell them to prepare in no time."

"Yes, Your Grace!"

"Also, pick your commander up, bring him here."

An hour later, Audience Hall of Titan's House

After the King had finished his dinner, everyone gathered in the audience hall. Including Duchess Nindya, The King, Commander Sahya of the Titan's Private Forces, The White Tiger Battalion.

This was a very closed meeting, no one may enter the main house during this meeting held. Commander Sahya placed three platoon forces to guard this housing complex.

"Commander, tell me about the recent development in the Capital during The King's absence."

"Yes, Your Grace! First, We have received much information about the presence about unknown forces infiltrate the City. We believe that the number had reached around four company forces." He said while handing over a bundle of parchment to Nindya.

"Second, There were groups of people who spreading fake news about the dead of the King. We have much evidences that Earl Franc Zonk sponsored those actions." Another bundles of parchment were handled over again to Nindya.

"Three, We receive informations about preparation of the coronation of a new King, Prince Vasta Yuda. This time we have much evidence about the interference of foreign powers." This time he handled over a parchment only.

"Vasta ? What did he do ? Did he incited by someone ?" The King's face became lost his spirit of life.

Brack!

"We believe, in case of His Highness Prince Vasta were very related to the Earl Franc Zonk's faction. It just a matter of time we received a concrete evidence, Your Majesty."

Then The King could not hold the rage inside himself. He crushed his chair using his arm. A great wave of magical power was rippling on the air. A circle sigil of glow in green were wrapping his old body. This was his offensive ultimate magic technique.

"Those bastards! How dare they did these.." Those calm King reveal his inner rage.

"Relax, Your Majesty!"

"Calm down, Ranu!"

"How can I be so relaxed? This child has back stab me from behind. What an ungrateful child.. Earl Franc Zonk's faction had sponsored him. They even forgot how pitiful they used to be. This.. this.."

The King breath were panting. His face reddened, and some smoke appears every time he takes a breath. His fist clenched. Everyone knew he tried so hard to out a hold his rage's explosion.

"Arrrgh....!" Another great wave of magical power was rippling on the air. His muscles bulged and his aura become terrifying.

But..

Cough !

Soon he collapsed, fallen to the ground.

Brack!

"Damn it ! My old age has betrayed me too..." He complained.

Nindya and Sahya put a dumb face watching these sceneries.

What an anticlimax!

"Ranu, at least please consider about how old your age.." Nindya whispered to him.

The King could only be able to nod while rubbing his chest, found another chair and sat down there.

"What about Regular Royal Forces?" Nindya asked Sahya.

"I believe, more than half of them had been chosen to reside in Earl's side. The proof is none willing to attack those foreign unknown force outside the City. Half of them were still considered loyal, led by The First General."

" Where is he now ?"

" He is in his residence, near his army's headquarter."

" Why didn't he stay at the royal palace ?"

" Because Royal Palace were occupied by Second General's Army which reside in Earl's Faction."

"This is Bad!"

"Yes Your Grace!"

" Commander, tell me about the coronation of a new King, Prince Vasta. How can it happened ?"

" Yes, Your Grace. When The King was an absence from the Capital, There were groups of people who spreading fake news about the dead of the King. Some people become affected, including Prince Nohan, Prince Nandana, Prince Darya, and Second General Sirna. They start talked about new King everywhere. Like a fire spread in the forest, this fake news become bad reality and some people starting the riot here and there. Some of them were arrested by our force, and it appears they were Earl's lowest underling."

Nindya rubbed his forehead.

The King put his two palms on his face. "Don't tell me, three other my son also want me to die? How can I be so unloved?"

"You had married so many women and now you said you are unloved, Ranu?" Nindya sneered at him.

" But.., How can you tell it's a love when they 're want me to die while I'm still a live ?"

" You have raised a wrong human being, or more accurately, the way you had raised them were wrong. Just admit that !"

" What a heartbroken father I am... " The King rubbed his forehead.

" Sahya.. what about the unknown foreign forces which infiltrated our country?"

" We have some proofs that they were from private military forces own by a foreign merchant company call NTUC. Seems like they want to gain a profit from our misfortune."

" Did they had a backup forces lurking outside our perimeter?"

" I am afraid, yes. I'll investigate it in no time."

" If you ever found their backup forces, don't hesitate to harash them. Burn their food, fill their water supply with crocs, destroy their logistic, shot down their messenger birds, kidnap their scouts or their careless soldiers, reduce their force and their mentality. Do not hooked to engaged battle openly. Execute this order very careful and stealthly. This is a secret mission. Never let anyone knows."

" Yes, You Grace !"

"Now, Go, delegate these important tasks to your most trusted men. After that, take a break. Tomorrow, I need you be ready here after breakfast."
