__Anthony
After they theorize their partnership, Anthony asked *by the way, why do you want so many werewolves, how is that a solution to your kingdoms cold problem* Liam stood and looked through the sealed window at the snow covered kingdom, he then spoke * I don't need to tell you that, but seeing that we are to be partners, a general and a prince helping each other to gain control and rule their respective kingdoms, I see no harm in telling you*
Anthony raises his glass cup and toast *to the beginning of a beautiful partnership towards a beautiful future* Liam also raised his glass and agreed * cheers* Then he looked back towards the window and spoke.
* As you already know, every kingdom has it's own different type of politics, and in iron city, one does not claim the throne as a successor, it doesn't matter if your father is king, to claim the throne you must introduce a physical solution to the kingdoms current problem, or an item that can benefit the kingdom, as the prince or princess if you fail to do that, then the throne's position will be open to everyone, be it a lord, a noble or even a commoner, whoever is able to present something valuable that can help the kingdom, then that person will claim the throne and rule the kingdom, while you, the former prince or princess, will be given a mansion and some other position, under the new king or queen.
The throne has been in my family for a long time, and now that my father, the current king is very ill, with no hope if he'll make it or not, and I'm only acting as king because my father is still alive, but the moment he's not everyone will be expecting a new king, and if I fail to present anything of value to the kingdom, then the throne will be claim by someone else.
During my fathers time he presented the guns and bullets, also cannons, because at that time we needed weapons to defend ourselves from the other kingdoms, and the tall buildings and long metal wall was what my grandma presented, and now that is my turn, I want to present a solution to the cold problem, but of course I have a back off plan,*
Anthony asked *What is it?* Liam smiled proudly and spoke *traveling in snow can be very hard, so I made the car, a four wheel metal carriage that doesn't need a horse* Anthony let out in disbelief *That's impossible!* proudly liam confirms *oh it very is* *a horseless carriage..that's impossible, it can't move* Anthony mumbles, liam reply *That's what anyone would think, but the car does not depend on a horse to move it but on a liquid substance, a very dangerously fascinating liquid that can burn down an entire kingdom on its own, I call it, The petroleum. Its needs a lot of care and kept away from fire or any intense heat*
Impressed Anthony spoke *your kingdom politics is so fair, no wonder its called the modern kingdom, I feel so lucky black moon doesn't have this kind of fair politics* liam ask *But why? Won't it be easier if it does* chuckling Anthony let out * easier Hahaha not a chance, the princess is full of solutions to any type of problem, including the werewolves problem*
Confused, liam ask * but then why are the werewolves still there* Anthony reply *because the king refused to listen to her* an even more confused liam ask *but why wouldn't he!*
Anthony smiles as he answers *because she's a woman, In your kingdom men and women have equal rights liam, but in black moon men are the leaders and woman the followers, a woman cannot hold any political position except to be a good wife and mother, so if its a princess then her husband will succeed the throne but if its a prince, automatically the throne belongs to him, we don't have all that solution presentation thing*
Liam spoke * wow that is so...barbaric, but now I understand your plan, in blackmoon that practices patriarchy. That plan is solid, but then what's the backup plan? *
Anthony reply * this is a one time opportunity, there is no back up plan so we must succeed* liam offered * your backup plan can be...kill the king and take the kingdom by force, I'll aid you with my army, or...wait for the princess to marry someone else, get rid of him and take control*
Anthony shook his head *those are good ideas but its not possible, the king is an unusual man and nothing goes pass him, taking the kingdom by force or killing him is suicide mission, he has ..weapons, very powerful ones not even your guns can stand a chance, maybe the cannons can last minutes but thats it, when I marry the princess the throne is mine but to take control the king has to go, I will get rid of him slowly in a way that will not alert him, then I'll get rid of the weopons too*
Liam spoke * that is surely a long plan but its safer, and the weapons, won't you want them for yourself?* Anthony refuses *no, never, keeping those things is a grave mistake, they are double edge swords, I can't maintain them and...they're just too dangerous*
Liam conclude * alright then partner, whatever you wish..it is your kingdom after all* They smiled at each other and clink their glass.
( the plan they have is that, Liam will make sure he gets chosen as the one to marry safia, then after, Anthony will deliberately find a werewolf and released it inside the kingdom, then Liam will attempt to hurt the werewolf, of course he knows the king will stop him because he's obviously not ready for a full on war with the werewolves yet, but Liam will refused to listen to him and instead try to hurt the werewolf while also putting the princess life in danger in doing so, because he knows the princess will also definitely try to stop Liam,
Anthony will then intervene and save the princess and also stop Liam from hurting the werewolf, Liam will get upset and break his engagement to the princess before the king does, and Anthony will quickly be the savoir and get engaged to her in front of everyone, saving the royal family's reputation, and getting one step closer to his goal )
Anthony was done with all his thinking in the pitch black room, he closed the curtains and mutter to himself, *the ball is approaching fast and I still don't have a werewolf, but its okay, in a kingdom like black moon I'm sure to run into a werewolf soon* Then he left, closing the door behind him.
