Chapter 16 - Chapter 13: Bounty

While the rest of the Orcs still remained imprisoned, Zursis crossed paths with Achillies at the barracks, just as she was on the way to her quarters.

"I'd like to have a word with you my dear and I believe it's something you'd like to hear".

"Time is of the essence my lady, however, I do not have time to dilly dally with you. I must capture that accursed Chief Orc that has escaped from my father's grasp". He replied. 

"Well it is about that Orc. He is no longer here, he's fled the Kingdom". Zursis said after she slapped Achillies for brushing her off to the side.

"This will be the last time you shall raise your hands towards me woman". Achillies said, rubbing his face.

"How do you know of such things"?

"I read the mind of that filthy Orc that is close to the chief". She replied.

"I shall form a search party…no…a bounty placed on his head shall do. Dead or alive, somebody will want to claim it and for now, we just have to spread the word across the kingdom. Once the bounty has been claimed, we shall make our next move of returning him back to my father". Achillies said grinning.

"Marvelous Idea my love". Zursis said as she kissed him on the cheek. 

Just as Zursis and Achillies finished making their plan, the fifteen out of the thirty spies that were sent to Obaka's homeland, had returned to the barracks and informed Achillies about Obaka.

"I applaud you men for coming back and relaying the information you have acquired, I want you to now spread the word that there is a bounty placed on the Chief Orc's head. Bring him back dead or alive and your reward pay shall be great". He said as he was sending off spies.

"Now we wait for our little bird to return to its nest". Achillies said, laughing uncontrollably.

"Bloody hell, your majesty, but you laugh is quite atrocious sir".

It was Michaelangelo coming out of the barracks along with Achillies son, William.

"Shut your mouth Michael, for my laugh is not atrocious". He replied.

"His point is valid father". William said as he started to laugh.

"So father, I overheard that there is a bounty placed on the Orc's leader".

"Yes my son, there is. However, let the other knights handle him, in the meantime, I want you to focus on your training. Your time will come my son". 

William took his father's words to heart and returned to the barracks, in the meantime, a meaningful conversation with Michaelangelo started to take place. 

"Now since he's gone I can say this, fifteen out of the thirty spies that we sent to the Orc's homeland had returned and relayed to me that it's believed that he's searching for something. They spotted him as they were excavating the remains of his land".

"So you let him escape ''? Michael asked in confusion.

Achillies placed his hand on his forehead.

"It's a long story…" He responded. 

"Right now we must focus on the task at hand and you Michael… you're free to participate in the bounty hunt for the chief Orc".

"I will not fail you sire, I will bring that filthy beast back". Michaelangelo responded. 

Michelangelo left the King's presence and went to his quarters to prepare to capture Obaka and in the meantime, Achillies and Zursis returned to their quarters.

"Soon enough my love, we shall conquer the other kingdoms and rule over the entire lands. No other kingdom will come close to ours, for we have the power of the Orcs now". The king said, as he was caressing his wife's body.

Shortly after the king and his wife returned to their quarters, the king decided to take a nap and ease his mind of the current situations that had occurred, however Zursis had other plans in mind.

"That's right the Austrian Empire will forever be victorious". She said, as she shoved Achillies face into her breast". 

"Bite me more… harder… harder…. YES HARDER MY LOVE"! 

While the king and queen were away making love, the king's son visited Michaelangelo at his quarters, as he was about to take off to find Obaka. 

"You're off to find the Chief of the Orcs, aren't you"? William asked.

"Yes and I know what you're thinking young Prince, but right now we cannot risk you going out there with me. It is for your own safety". Michael replied.

"Don't you think I'm ready to take on more tasks like you"? 

"I have the Dark Knight accompanying me, so what more should I be afraid of"? William asked.

Michael shook his head in disappointment.

"You are the future of this kingdom and your father wants me to watch over you if something were to ever happen to him. I will not disobey and I shall not compromise the kingdom's future by taking you with me.

Michelangelo leaves his quarters and heads out to search for Obaka.

"If the great Dark Knight shall not take me on the bounty hunt with him, then I shall take matters into my own hands". William said to himself.
