" An invitation was sent to all citizens of Moonrise celebrating a new era of life, hope and fulfillment. The royal party was organised by the king's best alliance kingdom, prince sage of the Northwings. The party will hold in the palace where all citizens are invited."
The young man from earlier who seems to be not older than 26 sat crossed leg on his exclusive chesterfield couch. He had an evil like smirk on his face while watching the news on the television. The four men still on their knees expecting the worst from the psycho.
Walking majestically, he pushed open the door of the meeting room, scanning and understanding the awkward atmosphere, he walks elegantly to one of the designated chesterfield couch inches away from the young man sipping his tequila. His black long hair wrap around his shoulders with how umpteen it is. Wearing a black robe and pants, it makes it so hard for the guard to detect him when he was entering the room. He has an empty expression on his face which makes it hard to detect any emotions from him.
" About fucking time Roux, I thought you chicken out."
" Am a busy man Russell, I don't just sit on an expensive couch doing something not better than nothing." The man answered his deep voice low containing a hint of mockery.
" Watch it fella, I have no conundrums with yah attitude Roux, I am also a prince."
" Ohh, it might have slipped your mind, am the crown of the Northwings, you know better what that means."
The four men from earlier watched the scene upholding before them wide eyed, ' is he really the crown prince of the Northwings,' everyone knows he never show up to unimportant sittings unless it involves the Moonriser their loyal ally. People barely know him with how hard he showed his face to the public.
" my king, what do we have to do to please you?" One of the men who looks to be in his fifties said, the two men are about to start ranting about who has the most authority which is gonna take a while, he just want to get away from the two psychopath.
Roux watch the man intently before nodding his head, he was wearing an expensive silk shirt showing off his wide broad shoulders which shows how much he spent in tending to his body. He must be having a hard time keeping that body shape.
" Relax Attorney, we've not gotten there yet, the priest was saying something about a second branding if am correct." Russell answered his attention now on the priest.
" Yes my king, the new highest priest might have forgot every king of Moonrise kingdom is entitled to have two branding, he must have skips some part of the kingdom archeology." The priest said with a shaky voice afraid he might provoke the younger.
" Well, if that the case we have to do something about it." Roux chipped in.
" We can make it into a big issue, spread rumor about how the king undergoes a half ritual, that'll make the citizens doubt the capability of the new king, still not sure my kingdom would rethink their choice of alliance." He added straightening his back.
Russell watch him carefully staring into his eyes, when he saw no remorse and emotion in Roux eyes. He nods his head agreeing to the man's word. He inclined his head towards the other sofa's in the room.
" You all should have a sit let discuss how we could dethrone the new king."
✨ Agni's bedroom ✨
" Come on Ares, I prepared this celebration for you, you should enjoy it not the other way round."
" Ohh Sage, I thought you knew better than a celebration for me, I prefer reading books on my soft sofa or the library than being in a room filled with pretentious bastard's" Agni said running his hand through his head. He was in his sweatpant the ceremonial robe long discarded on his bed. He was shirtless showing off his tattooed branded shoulder."
" Why do the priest hide the second ritual," Sage asked out of the blues noticing the second branding at Agni's lower back, he would have missed it with how low the branding was done his sweatpant covering half of it.
" Something about safety and blinding the enemies, I never understand the queen and her tactics, she have gone to the extend of assigning a new priest for the coronation, she made him the highest priest, he was here not more than a month, but she still makes him the highest priest, who on earth does that, am sure he haven't read all the history and rules of the kingdom yet." Agni's was ranting all over prince sage.
Sage was laughing furiously, imitating how Agni's was pacing the room with an annoyed expression.
" Come on Sage, you know it not funny, all this stress and stuff." He said bouncing on his bed laying flat.
" You should wear something before your nanny comes in, she'll surely misundertands us this time around." Sage said walking to Agni's walk in closet. In not less than a minute, he walked out holding a blue tuxedo.
Agni was staring at Sage surprised, how did he know where his clothes are, in normal bases for him, it takes him almost an hour to look for different clothing of his if he doesn't wants to stress Barbara.
" How do you get them so fast," he asked Sage who was about to walk into the closet again.
" It no different from where mine are." Sage answers walking back in. He comes out with a leader shoe and a bow tie, a white inner shirt and a pair of Graff diamond watch.
" Now you're set to go my king." Sage said winking.
Agni takes the pillow close to him and throws it towards Sage, Sage quickly moves to the side still laughing.
" I'll get Kiana to redo your face, you should glow up for the cute ladies who are invited." Sage said winking before heading to the door.
" Can't I just skip the event, tell my mom am sick or something," Agni said trying hard not to cry.
" Ohh cry baby, I'll let your mom knows you need your milk." Sage said laughing so hard this time around running out of the room afraid of something else hitting him not a pillow this time around.
✨✨ At the previous courtroom ✨✨
The men sat gently, non of them uttering a word, you can tell how uncomfortable they're except for the man with the Northwings embroidery, he sat comfortably looking at the young man who sat crossed leg.
" Where do we start from". Roux asked his attention on the men. They all tense waiting for his response.
" you can make the suggestion crown prince of the Northwings," Russell said relaxing his body completely on the couch. His eyes strain on the crown prince of the Northwings.
" Spreading rumours won't do much harm for the king, his quite and simple nature attract the attention of almost all the citizens of the kingdom." He said pouring the same tequila the younger was drinking earlier into a cup, he also sat crossed leg taking a sip of it.
The men gaze between the Russell and the crown prince, they stayed silent even thou they have high status in the kingdom, but they can't compare to this two. An immediate brother to the queen and the crown prince of Northwings. They always seems to be a hidden tension whenever the two are to give a suggestion or sat for a meeting purpose.
" How about we hired some people outside the kingdom to abduct the king, then we can make him do what ever we want even if it means threating him with his life." One of the men said but not quite sure the two would like his idea.
Russell laughter erupt so suddenly scaring both Roux and the men, looking at the man who suggest such a plan. " Are you always this cruel attorney Cruise." He asked glaring at the man he called Cruise. The man shakes his head trying to justify his thought. But before he could utter a word, he was interrupted by Russell.
"Well, I like your plan, I always want to see the other side of my niece which I got to enjoy when his captured."
