Third person POV
The Grand Founder, an old man of intelligence, confronted the royal family, surprising them and their attendants and remaining guards as he took off his cloak. He had grey hair and black eyes, signaling his age.
"Nephew," he said directly to Alexander with a serious tone, while holding a sword, which was his late father's other sword.
As Alexander and his family trembled in fear, the guards tried to fight and stop him, but the latter had easily beat them all with his magic and fists.
And now, he was about to harm the royal family when Robert and Emi came in time, and Robert shouted at him, "Hey, you!"
The Grand Founder turned around, and called him a nitwit.
Robert was seriously offended. "Hey! I am a part of the Windheart clan you know!"
But, the Grand Founder doesn't care at all and just laughed at it. "No matter what would you say, you're no match for me. Besides, your master is too busy handling my members."
At that time, the Lighthearts and their captain left the coup, and Sol is now on his way back to the palace grounds by flying using magic.
But then, Emi took off her mask. "Try us."
Seeing her face, the Grand Founder was enraged by her betrayal."You traitor!"
"I'm now done with you, old man," Emi retorted back as she readies her two daggers. Then to Robert, "Let's do this, together."
Watching this, Zarah thought in her mind, "Good luck to both of you." Eventually, the Grand Founder and Robert and Emi begin to fight. Robert pointed his katana towards him and used Lightning Rod, but the Grand Founder laughed at it, and just blocked it with Wind Guard, a Tier-11, which was a non-academic level alongside Tier-12. Robert and Emi are shocked to see that, and Emi tried to charge and attack him with her daggers. But, the Grand Founder outsmarted her, and hit her in the back of her head with his fist, causing Emi to be unconscious by the blow. Robert was upset by it then, knowing that she was his friend. As a result, Robert retaliated by using Lightning Rod and charged towards him. But, the Grand Founder just laughed again and used Wind Guard again, blocking his attack. Robert then got a sting by the fast winds that make up the barrier, and got some cuts in his right arm.
"Robert-kun!" Stephen responded to this.
While Robert was wincing in pain while holding his right arm with his left hand, the Grand Founder deactivated his Wind Guard, revealing to be untouched.
"Now then," the Grand Founder said to them, "once I get rid of all of you, I'll be the next king of this kingdom and transform it into a nation in my own liking."
He then laughed like a villain as Robert and the others are shocked to hear that, and Alexander felt bad because his late father took the throne in accordance to his grandfather's wishes.
Emi managed to regain conscious and get up, only to see that things went south. Upon seeing that she was alright, Robert ran towards her. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, my head hurts," Emi replied while stroking her head in trying to massage the pain away. "Are we too late?"
Robert looked at the king feeling bad, before glancing back at Emi. "I'm not sure. But we have to do something about it."
"Right."
With that Robert looked at the kind and said to him, "No, Your Highness, it wasn't your fault. Your father had to do it. You're out of it."
Hearing those words, Alexander felt better, and he said to his wife and children seriously, "Let's fight, together, as a family."
Eventually, Miriam, Stephen, and Zarah nodded in agreement, and they and the king stepped in to fight the Grand Founder, their own family member, outside of the palace as their attendants, Robert, and Emi watch in amazement. Those attendants of them never witnessed that because the royal family rarely fights and always engages in administrative work almost all the time, despite the years they devoted to their service to them.
But, they, too, got outsmarted by the Grand Founder with his magic, and they are now almost finished, with partially torn clothes and bruises.
Seeing this, Robert and Emi retaliated one last time by charging towards him.
But just like last time, the Grand Founder resisted their attacks by using his Wind Guard and hit them with it.
Robert and Emi got struck by it, and got recoiled a few meters away.
It seems that the Grand Founder was, indeed, untouchable and undefeatable, and was about to finish them all.
But then, Sol found out what happened to them by telepathy and decided to activate the ability called The Strength of the Hidden Ender Eye, which is an enhanced physical and magical abilities. And to make matters worse for the Grand Founder, Robert was a part of it. With that, they managed to get up and their eye colors changed temporarily, and abilities had been enhanced to their higher potential, Tier-10 abilities. Robert managed to unlock Ion Blade, a Tier-10 ability that combines both lightning and wind magic, despite not knowing about it yet, while the Hal family unlocked other, higher wind magic like Tornado Blade, which was also Tier-10 ability. The Grand Founder does not know this enhanced ability despite his vast knowledge, and tried to retaliated by using Blade Edge Hurricane, a Tier-11 ability. But, his ability has been dissipated and nullified by Sol's End Magic Nullification, causing him to coward in fear despite being an old man of intelligence.
Eventually, Robert and the royal family attacked him simultaneously using their enhanced magic and beheaded the old man on the spot as Emi and the attendants watch in amazement. As his body fell to the ground, Grand Founder's head rolled for a few seconds and in front of Sol, who managed to catch up what had happened. Having a few seconds to live, the Grand Founder looked at Sol and hurled insults to him for ruining and foiling his plans, before closing his eyes and died. Blood was on the stone path, spreading slowly as Emi looked at it in disgust despite being an assassin, which involves looking at blood. Hearing all that insults, Sol then grabbed the head and said to it, "You selfish old man, taking the throne for yourself."
He then burned it alongside the body with fire magic as Robert and the Hal family went back to normal, but that enhanced ability was permanent to them, meaning that they had to learn how to activated it on their own. Emi then ran to Robert. "Robert-kun, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine," Robert replied back. "That guy is gone now."
"Yeah, I saw it," Emi responded back. "What was that?"
The Hal family seems to be fine and they looked at each other while being happy that their estranged family member is gone now.
Meanwhile, some of Zanid's students managed to deactivate the magic spell that brainwashes the soldiers on the enemy side, and they snapped back to their senses. The rest of the Old Faction members then were arrested on the spot by the soldiers both on their side and the king's side, ending the coup.
