As hyacinth realized the treasonous acts his wife committed against him he immediately suited in his armor and commanded his generals to prepare for battle. He rushed to his wife's chamber. And ther he saw nyx just standing there waiting for him. Nyx was shaking in fear while looking at hyacinths piercing blue eyes. Hyacinth grabbed her hand and said
Hyacinth: You treasonous woman! I treated you well now this is what you do!
Nyx: Hyacinth... I'm sorry I had t-
Hyacinth: Listen to me! Once I get rid of your father's army I will make sure you suffer!
He threw her to the bed and rushed out of the chamber. He ran out of the palace with his ministers. He ordered them to position the soldiers in their defensive position backed up by counter attackers. In his walls he placed hundreds and thousands of archers. He was ready but so was Phobos. Phobos brought many soldiers with him. In his mind nyx was already in a safe place and hyacinth was panicking inside of the palace walls. But he was wrong. Hyacinth was filled with rage and was ready for battle. Phobos commaneded the first line of his men to wave a white flag as a sign of cease fire. Then he forwarded while riding his stallion and said he wanted to tell the whole Gillian empire and their Emperor hyacinth an important message
"All of you! Listen to me as this will be the most important decisions that you will make your entire life. I Emperor Phobos of Amora have an offer for you and your Emperor. I will spare all of you in exchange of your emperor's abdication and for all of you to peacefully let us takeover!"
And he immediately received the Gillian empire's powerful answer... As the empire answered with hundreds and thousands of arrows being shot at phobos. Phobos had his men shield him in an instant. Gillian empire's army burst open through their gates with hyacinth leading his men. Phobos was sheilded by his men so not a single arrow hit him. But they were caught off guard and their men rushed to regroup their lines but it kept getting broken because of the continuous attacks coming from hyacinths army. So many men fell one by one of both sides. But no matter how much men fell on hyacinths side the gates kept opening and more and more soldiers came. Phobos had to flee back to Amora leaving his army. Not even 30 minutes after he left Phobos's army fell. Hyacinth was devastated at all of the soldiers deaths including the enemies. He ordered all soldiers be buried with honor whether they were an ally or an enemy. Hyacinth helped treat the sounds of the soldiers and ordered men to clean and repair the walls. Hyacinth was disappointed in himself for believing that Phobos wouldn't attack him. He was wrong. But he had to go back to the palace. He wanted to rush through Nyx's chambers but he stopped himself. Instead he sent a decree to be known by everyone in his empire
"A decree from the Emperor! Empress Nyx wife of Emperor Hyacinth and Daughter of Emperor Phobos is to be banished to the province Nandi ( The farthest province and the poorest province of the Gillian Empire) for her fathers attempt on invading and killing his majesty the Emperor and the whole Gillian empire. Let it be known! Respect it!"
Nyx had no choice. She now had to suffer the consequences of conspiring treason. She was now banished to Nandi and she wasn't allowed to send letters to her father. She didn't even know if he was alive or well. But she knew she could still gain back hyacinths love and favor with time.
Phobos barely escaped but he arrived back to his capital. He lost all of the men in his army and he was devastated. Now he had to get more soldiers immediately fearing hyacinths wrath. The capital turned already suffering from hunger and poverty now grieves their deceased loved ones. He had to take control fast so he ordered new archers to be placed every corner of his walls and for even more men to be trained day and night. He ordered gold from his coffers to be distributed to the poor to make sure they would not revolt. Fortunately the commoners did not revolt. But he knew he was still in a vulnerable state. He grew more paranoid than ever and it also didn't help that hyacinth sent him a gift. Once he opened it he was presented with the heads of all his spies and allies that he's placed in the Gillian empire. He was now cornered and needed time to recover. He needed to stay quite.
By the time all of those events happened lucious has already succeeded in conquering his rival. Emperor Kishendren was very impressed that he was able to conquer and pacify the emperor very fast and promoted him once again. His earlier position was "Earl Lucious" and now he was promoted to "Duke Lucious". He was barely 19 at that time. He arrived with honor and glory. Everybody in the empire chanted his name. But he knew there was still a long way to go for him to be able to re-connect with his sister. He arrived back to the grand dukes palace. In the highest terrace of the main palace there the grand Duke was standing. The grand Duke gave him a warm smile. And beside the grand Duke evander was there. Lucious gave the grand Duke a bow of respect before going inside the palace. He went to the grand dukes chambers to meant with evander. Once the chamber doors opened evander rushed to hug him. Overfilled with joy lucious hugged him back
Evander: Lucious brother your back!
Lucious: Yes evander I am. I missed you!
Evander: Me too brother! I wanna spend more time with you but I have training though ٩(๑꒦ິȏ꒦ິ๑)۶.
Lucious: Don't wor-
Armista: Don't worry evander your will have plenty of time with lucious. Go on to your training now.
