Theodore's army storms towards Castle Black. People see the mechas, the army vehicles and Theodore on a mech, he wears his armor from the war, the people are all terrified. The earth beneath them shakes, the villages and city they pass feel like shaking. People living there make religious signs and beg the gods so another war won't start.
They arrived at Castle Black. Theodore sees lots of dead people on the ground. He gets off his mech and analyzes one of the bodies. "Rebels. Guess they attacked my uncle" Hunter comes from the side. "Quite the opposite." He was dressed in an old army uniform, rigid and with a few medals on it. "So you trapped them?" Milena comes unfocused from behind her father.
"That's how he teaches his lessons these days." Theodore ignores her and looks at Hunter. "Long story. How did you capture the princess?" Theodore looks at him and smiles.
"What do you think? Long story…" Hunter smiles, closes his eyes, turns his gaze to his daughter, opens them and fixes his gaze on her, "So where is she?" Theodore looks at his career.
"Bring the bitch out!" Theodore shouts. Two soldiers get to Ghost's mech and get him out.
"This is not time for jokes! The princess I asked!" Theodore tried not to laugh, the sensation was stronger than any other challenge he faced. They get to the carrier and bring the princess out. "Did I hit a jackpot? Yes, did I want it? No. So why do you want so badly to take him down now?"
Hunter lights up another cigarette with his fingers. "I want you to become the new king. You're the best pick right now." Theodore laughs in disbelief. "You want me to be what?" Everyone looks at Theodore with an approving look. "Being a king SUCKS! You have to stay in all day, have to do twice the work of a lord, and to make it top of the top, the king needs to be fully royal blooded, which I AM NOT!"
Hunter looks at Theodore. "My mother is not even my mother." Theodore shows a picture of his father with his real mother in the picture with two children. "What do you know about this? Because I've seen this woman before. In a village far away from this. SHE IS A PASSANT! It's nothing wrong, but if she is my mother…" Hunter looks down. "What Hunter am I right?"
Hunter nods his head. "So you found the box… Still Bloodhearts are royals by default. It doesn't matter. I trust you kid." Hunter remembers his brother's words, the fly in his mind like birds. 'If I die…' He hears that word like Theodore said it. 'Take care of Theo, never show him the box.' Hunter is looking at the grass. "I failed him… But I want to change that so you're forced to become King, royal blood or not!"
"I'll become king, but you have to help find her and the other child." Hunter gives a nod. Hunter gets closer to Theodore , cuts his palm and shakes Theodore's hand. "Blood promise" He said, he looked deep in Theodore's eyes.
Theodore takes his hand back after this, he looks around and notices Hunter's giant army. The princess was behind Theodore, he pulled his phone out of his pocket, gets on a very popular social media service and starts a stream. "This stream will be a short one." Already 23000 people view this stream, they see mechs and people armed to the teeth behind him.
"This is a message to the king." He goes down to her level and shows her on stream. "This woman is the cause of a civil war. You know who she is." Everyone comments 'that's the princess.' Theodore gets up and makes a 360 degrees spin. "I am coming for you, PORTER!" Theodore ends the stream.
Hunter goes up to him. "What the hell are you thinking?" Theodore smiles. "I am doing myself a favor. IF daddy loves his child this much he'll call me in no time." Theodore was right, the phone started ringing. Theodore answered the call. "SUP!" Theodore said.
"What did you do with my child?" The king said. "Well she is mostly intact, she doesn't have any real damage on her. So now we negotiate right?"
"Negociate what? You took my daughter" Theodore laughs hysterically. "NO! You send your daughter to KILL me. I just captured her, simple as that." On the other end no one squeaks a sound. "Did I stutter?" Theodore said, looking at Hunter with a smile on his face.
"See you at the castle, bitch!" Theodore ends the call.
"GHOST BACK TO YOUR MECH! SOLDIERS TO YOUR POSTS. WE ARE GOING FOR THE CAPITAL, MAY THE GODDESS OF VICTORY STAND WITH US!" Theodore shouts his chest hurt, but that didn't matter. He goes back on Rinehart's mech. "Soldiers…" Theodore takes a deep breath. "FORWARD!" That scream is heard inside and outside of Castle Black, everyone in the vicinity heard it and they were scared of what's happening.
