Dawn had dusted in the horizon while I was still back at the castle cleaning up. My men were loading the lifeless men and women by the vehicle loads. Then they were taken to the hospital to be revived
As I glared at these three unknown female lifeless bodies on the pavement. All three had their throats sliced open.
I was in the process of figuring out how Kyle's Kingdom invaded us. Out of the blue, my phone rang distracting my thoughts, but I immediately answered it asking, "Yes! Something wrong?"
On the opposite end, Tony said, "Son, you should know Kyle's men knew Sally's name. I was finally able to get her to speak with me for a brief moment. When she shared this information with me."
"Thanks for informing me," I said. "It's looking like things are all lining up."
"Hum, by that you have found information?" Asked Tony.
I replied, "I am finding more than enough information."
With a gasp, Tony replied, "Son, don't forget you need to return and care for your fiance."
"I am coming back soon," I answered
Tony replied, "See you soon."
After hanging up the phone, I said to JJ looking at these three lifeless female bodies on the pavement. "See if you can revive these three. If we can wake them up. I have a lot of questions."
"I'll work on that. Then reviving your fallen men and the ladies will be done shortly." JJ said and gave a wave to his lower-ranked men from his Division to bag the three lifeless bodies.
Coming out of the castle, Aaron said walking up to me "Alright, everything is mostly done and cleaned.
I nodded with interest.
"Mike and I will start calculating our loss I know we have a good deal of pregnancy loss in the kingdom. I'll get the number as soon as I know more information." Matt said walking up to us towards the left lot side, from supervising lower-ranked men loading up the bodies.
"Ok, clean up crew will finish up what's left of the stained blood." Noddingly, I stated, "It's time to return and start reviving all immortals, who have been put down."
Working all this time my Primary friends, Highest Rankers, and I all went back to the mansion with either me or they broke off and went to a different mansion they were staying in.
In less than ten minutes, the men following me made it back and entered my dad's mansion. Each of us goes in a different direction.

After my shower, I walked down the hallway. Before I could stop by to get Sally from my parent's room.
"There's been a request to speak with you from Uncle Philippe." My oldest brother Kaiser stopped me in the hall to inform me.
"Ok, let's get this over with now." In annoyance, I said tightening my fist as he walked with me to the meeting room.
Kaiser and I entered the meeting room. Instantly, hearing our Uncle Philippe was furious. Our dad, Grandfather Phil, Uncle Chaz, Uncle Daryl, Uncle Sebastian, some Elders, and a few cousins were in the room too.
Uncle Philippe ( Grandfather Phil's oldest son) spoke in anger close to shouting. "What an outrage this is!" Directly looking at his young nephew he asked rudely, "Cory! Why are your men turning in? Shouldn't you be out there planning an attack? You have men on standby ready to fight! Have any of you even figured out how Kyle knew about the party?"
Irritated and tired yet I calmly responded. "No, we aren't attacking yet. Some of my best men and I have been out there all this time analyzing and gathering information. And we found loads of information. However, the calculation process takes some time to collect. We don't have the numbers as to who is going to revive out of the lifeless state and who isn't. On top of that, we don't know how many unborns have been eliminated from our Kingdom. Results like that take hours. Therefore we have some hours to spare and rest."
"You should be going on an attack and destroying Kyle's men!" Unhappy to hear this Uncle Philippe disagreed in anger.
Now Tony said annoyed at his older brother Philippe. "That's an impulsive move! They'll get what's coming to them in due time!"
"Yes son, we cannot do that now. The men have lost so much and the women lost, even more, let them rest. We will regroup and figure this out in a little bit." Quickly, Grandfather Phil added.
"You cannot be serious! The trail is warm now!" Furious, Uncle Philippe yelled at me. "Few hours! Few days! Few weeks! It'll be cold! You should be gathering all this stuff now while it's hot! They should be attacked now!"
Frustrated my face turned red. "Don't test me, Uncle! Don't forget that was my and Sally's engagement announcement celebration! I have more than enough information right now to keep everything going! The trail will not go cold!" I shouted.
Silence took the room to see I snapped like this. My jaw was grinding. Below my high cheekbones, I felt my facial features pulsating. It wasn't too often my temper outburst from within me so my family backed off. Not wanting to push things any further. Exhaling a breath, I said in an icy voice. "Enough of this! I'm going to rest until tomorrow! A meeting will be held once, I awake."
I stepped out of the room hearing sighs from behind when I leave. After closing the door, I took another deep breath trying to calm my nerves. I could feel the rage inside me boiling to a dangerous peak. So I knew it was time I needed away from Uncle Philippe.

Before going back to my room. I stopped by my parent's room and saw Sally across the living room by the window. She was lying down on the couch passed out. Without making a sound, I picked her up bridal style and took her back to our room. Then laid her down at her left bedside. She moaned some but never woke. Exhausted, I crawled into bed realizing it was hitting noon.

Meanwhile, the men involved in the attack went to their families and the next shift was passed down to the patrolling guards.
Just in the hallway Jay and Aaron saw Cory turn in. Before turning in themselves both primaries did their job. By making sure the next guarding shifts were passed down.
Aaron double-checked his Division protecting the inside and Jay confirmed arrangements in his Division guarding the outside. To keep watch for any more attacks from inside and outside.
Whether or not an attack would happen by the same Kingdom. They always kept a higher guard wherever Cory would stay. Afterward, they gave a gesture and turned in too.
