At Castle Black, everything is in chaos. The visit of a high impotence person is prepared to arrive. "Where are the flowers?!" A butler shouts. "Where is the tea pot?!" Shouts another. Everyone rushes to make everything perfect. Even Hunter helps his servants with this. Milena comes to her father and asks: "Who is coming?" Hunter looked at her and said. "The leader of the rebellion!"
Milena's eyes widened. "You are saying THE rebellion" Hunter nods. "The rebellion who actually caused more damage to the kingdom than the king and his war?" Hunter laughs awkwardly "Who else?" Milena's posture from an upright goes down to a relaxed hump. She turns around looking exhausted. "IF ANOTHER WAR STARTS I AIN'T GONNA EVEN LISTEN TO YOU CRAP ABOUT POLITICS!"
The hastily made preparations were not hasty enough. The rebellion army enters the gates of Castle Black. 14 men get out of a mobile operations vehicle, all of them surrounding two people. A woman and a man in noble clothing, the man was covering his face with a mask, the woman was not, she had applied makeup up, the basics, a bit of red lipstick, some eyeliner and some blending.
The 16 people in total are escorted by Hunter's guards towards the meeting room.
Hunter and Milena were sitting in their designated chairs also surrounded by trusted soldiers. The people enter the room. "It's nice having you here!" Hunter shouted.
The two people from the center emerge from the crowd. "We feel welcomed by you, lord Bloodheart, and lady Bloodheart."
"Have a seat!" Hunter said. The woman grabs a chair, she sets it behind her master and pushes it forward so the man can sit. "I see you got my letter, I am interested in forming an alliance with you lord Bloodheart. I want to take the actual leader down." Hunter raises his left eyebrow, he sits with his elbow on the table and his hand upwards, he starts leaning on it.
"You try to eminently start the end of the act. Please continue." The man takes his mask of Hunter, changes his posture and his eyes widen. "Lord Vallen! Never thought you are the mastermind of this.* He points towards the outside, towards the rebellion forces. Vallen chuckled. "Let's get to business" Vallen clears his throat. "I want you to take his place. Why are you? Well Bloodhearts are the best rulers by far and people respect them"
Hunter jumps from his chair. "Why me? Theodore fits the description better" The other man smiles. "Theodore might be a good option as a king, but he's too young, too reckless and the stunt he put in his domain doesn't make him the best option for us right now." Hunter tries to remember what his nephew did. "What stunt?" Milena looks at her father.
"Dad… He held a public stone execution…" Hunter looks at his daughter and his look goes back to Vallen. "I see…" He grabs a cigarette, puts it in his mouth and at the tip snaps his fingers, the cigarette is lightened up. "I am a smoker in nervous situations." Hunter puffs once. "I am all in, but Theodore needs to be in too."
A phone ringtone is heard from Milena's emergency phone, the number doesn't show. "Hello? Who is this?" "Are you with your father?" The girl looks at the two "Yes~" "It's THEO put me on speaker MILENA!" Milena pressed the speaker button and put the phone on the table.
"It's Theo." She said, "What do you need, brat? I am in the middle of an important conversation."
"Not as important as the Highland Kingdom's princess it ain't" Everyone in the room widens their eyes. "What did you do?" Hunter asked. "Well the king wants me dead because he thinks I AM GONNA take his throne. Nothing more imaginary. He replaced 99% of my workers with assassins. Sadly, because I am an idiot, I didn't notice until now. So now I WANT 2 TIMES MORE PAYBACK!"
Hunter looks at Vallen. "Are you there?" Hunter ends the call. "He did more work than you tried to do, Vallen. How can your revolution do something good when a 16 year old child is more of a threat to the king than you!" Hunter laughs. "I know why you want me and not Theodore. I know why you are here, and here is where your end of the line begins."
Shooting is heard from outside. "What are you doing?" Vallen screams. Hunter shots Vallen's servant. The rebels are shot down by Hunters men, Valen is the only one alive now. "You see Vallen. I KNOW you are not the real leader of the rebellion, because the leader ain't a man, she is a woman!" Hunter shots the man in the head. "Rest in peace bastard!
"Milena, you can drop the act now, I know what you do in your free time." Hunter looks at her. He brings under the table a box. In that box are photographs of her on the battlefield in rebel camps. "YOU KNEW?" Hunter laughs. "Something you need to know about your own family darling, we are the most annoying and strange clan in the whole earth. We spy on each other just so we know you all are ok."
Milena looks upset. "Why did you do it Milena, I don't give a fuck!" Milena looks at her father. "YOU KILLED MY MEN!" Hunter gets up and slaps Milena. "NO! YOU KILLED THEM! If you came clean to me and this charade never happened, none of them would've died."
The phone calls again, Milena answers. "Yes?" She said sobbing. "Is something wrong Milena?" She said nothing, Hunter grabs the phone. "Kid, we are taking the king down from tomorrow. Bring your army and prepare for the extent."
