Emperor Lam still have yet to understand what just happened, Crown Prince Tua had kick his father fly back into the room. Sit up in the excruciating pain, still in shock of being stabbed. Emperor Lam saw his son strolling into the room with couples of the city's guard, and a bloody dagger in his hand.
"T…Tua… what… what are you doing?" Emperor Lam stuttering, even more shocking when he finally realized who just jabbed him.
"what am I doing? Killing you of course." Crown Prince Tua say, with a normal tone voice and a straight face, without any particularly expression, like what he doing right now is a complete normal and mundane activity for a person to do.
"wh…why…" Emperor Lam spoke through the pain.
"why? Because uncle Nin was right, he's more fit to the throne than you, father. We could have won the Hundreds Years War. And yet you and grandfather choose compromise and peace." Crown Prince Tua said. "imagine father, Varlann's territory stretched entire Varlaurea continent, a glorious vision isn't it." The Crown Prince wave his hand in the air, eyes look into nothingness envision some stupendously glorious vision of the empire.
"Uncle really know how to persuade other." Crown Prince smile, then crouch down next to his father "oh well, after you die, I'll help uncle's vision became reality." He raises his dagger, aim at his father heart, ready for the killing blow. But at the doorstep, a towering green figure suddenly appeared, with a right hook, a guard of the Crown Prince flew into the room and land on top of Crown Prince Tua. That was Olunwa "the Strong Arm", before the city guards react, Olunwa charged in with Ngbambe "the Few Word" right behind him, the two Orcs flung their lightning fast fists, and moment late, all the guards are unconscious on the floor. Crown Prince Tua shove the unconscious guard off him and turn to his father again, but Kwanjobo quickly stop him whacked the dagger off the Crown Prince's hand with his staff, then Olunwa "the Strong Arm" knocked him unconscious.
Kwanjobo came to Emperor Lam side "lie still, I'll heal the wound.". the old Orc, pull out Emperor Lam robe, checking the wound, and quickly perform healing magic. Few minutes late, the wound healed, Emperor Lam stand up looking at his unconscious son on the floor, his mind still spinning in shock, trying to make sense of what just happened.
"what I'm afraid has come true." Kwanjobo rest his chin on his staff, look at Crown Prince Tua and sigh. "your brother has use the power of Ochwesi's choker to convinced the lord Crown Prince to kill his father."
"Old Wise, what're we going to do now?" asked Olunwa.
"Prince Suk Nin, must be at his father-in-law place, thinking that he has won. If we go there now, we may catch him by surprise." Kwanjobo answered
"Kwanjobo, what about my son?" Emperor Lam asked, filled his voice with worry.
"just leave the Lord Crown Prince here, when we retreated the choker, we'll make the choker's influence on him wear off over time, after a few days, he'll come back to his normal self." Kwanjobo said.
But from the eastside of the mayor's mansion, came the noises of yelling, struggling, and fighting. "the Brocade Cloak Guards!" Emperor Lam said. Invoked their magic to lighten up their body weight, together they leap through the rooftop heading to the noise direction. When they arrived, in front of their eyes, the city guards are attacking the 200, barely armed Brocade Cloak Guards. Even with little to no weapon, the Brocade Cloak Guards still stubbornly resist, disarming their opponents, their fought back the attackers, causing the city guard having a tough time fighting them. Taken by surprise in the middle of night, a lot of them had suffered severe injuries, and several man had been slain while as sleep. Dropped from the rooftop amidst the chaos, with his telekinesis, Emperor Lam shove all the city guards within his sight to the surrounding walls. With the help of the three Orc and the Brocade Cloak Guards with revived moral, due to the present of their emperor, they quickly subdued the bewitched city guards.
"those who suffered minor injure, stay and take care of the severely wounded. Anyone of the rest that still can fight, follow me!" Emperor Lam spoke to the Brocade Cloak Guards, the flame of anger burning in his mind, his eyes glaring with ire "Suk Nin, this is outrageous, bewitch my own son to assassinate me, from now on we're brother no more."
With the three orcs, and about 50 Brocade Cloak Guards saddled the velelis and ride to lord Xu Vu's mansion. 30 minutes late, they arrived at the mansion gate.
"Emperor of Varlann, when we go in the mansion, if you saw the ancient script and the gem on the choker starting to glow, cover your ears do not listen to a single word from your brother mouth, otherwise you'll be enchanted to." Kwanjobo warned.
Emperor Lam nod, then blow the gate wide open with his telekinesis, and charging his velelis inside with his companions. Dozens of strangers, with weapon in hand, barging through the gate causing the servants running in fright. Emperor Lam order the guards to capture one of the panicking servants and ask about Prince Suk Nin whereabouts, the servant stuttering for a minutes then pointed at the northern building, and thus they heading toward it. The sound of men and velelis, rumbling through the hallway, and roused haft of the mansion. After a few minutes of searching, Emperor Lam finally caught Prince Suk Nin just poke his head out of his room's window to check on what happening. Saw his brother, Emperor Lam whipped his velelis to charge forward. Prince Suk Nin retreat back to his room one he saw Emperor Lam charging in and look for Ochwesi's choker to put on, but a fireball suddenly flew through the window, exploded and set haft of the room on fire. Choking by the smoke, Prince Suk Nin ran out of his room with Ochwesi's choker still in hand, but before he can put it on, Kwanjobo roweled his velelis close in and whacked his staff at Prince Suk Nin mouth, knocked out one of his front tooth, sent him rolling on the ground, then he quickly being apprehended by the Brocade Cloak Guards and the choker taken from him.
