“I do know. However you must suppose greater than that. Should you gave Freed what he needed, who is aware of what would occur to Wisseragna. I additionally care about what occurred to Cana-chan and the remaining. However the entire Kingdom is at stake.”

“Huh. You are proper. I am sorry. I misplaced my composure for a bit.”

“It is alright. I understand how you’re feeling.”

“I used to be by no means actually fitted to this job.” Stated Victor as he took his crutches and slowly made his option to the window. “Certain I used to be subsequent in line for the throne, however i used to be by no means good at making these sort of choices. Again then I had Ishin-san who would advise me. However now that he is gone, it will be exhausting to get again on my toes.”

“I nonetheless do not know a lot about being a prince and all, however you possibly can depend on me. All we’ve now could be one another. So we have to stick collectively.”

“Sure. He’s fairly exhausting to catch.”

“Now here’s what I plan to do. First, I will not be capable to combat, which is why I am having you practice in an effort to combat him as an alternative. Second, having many guards will solely deliver us to a drawback since he has the flexibility to have his males disguise themselves as our guards. Which is why we’re gonna hold solely the elites.

“I too suppose that that is the most effective plan of action.”

“And eventually, I plan to lure Freed out by pretending to present in to his calls for. That means, we’ll know the place to strike.”

“It is a good plan certainly. Freed will certainly fall for that given how annoyed he was as a result of he could not get his arms on the initiatives.”

“Sure. Not less than, that is what I hope will occur. However…”

“However what?”

“In case our plan fails and Freed in some way manages to get previous us and will get his arms on the initiatives, I would like you to take the throne and take again the initiatives.”

“That took longer than anticipated. Let’s return to the palace now.”

“Sorry your highness, however you will not be going wherever.” Stated one of many 5 males that had been with him.

“So that you managed to infiltrate the elites as effectively, huh?”

“However after all. Grasp Freed is not as silly as you make him out to be. Actually, I imagine that he is inflicting some issues within the palace as we communicate. Or ought to I say, you are inflicting some issues.”

“What do you imply by that?”

“Oh nothing. Should you wanna discover out, you will need to get previous us first.”

“With pleasure.” Stated Yamato as he out of the blue rushed at them and lower the 5 of them down.

“Ha! All I needed was the throne. You are not suited to be king. You mentioned it your self, bear in mind?”

“Do not do that Julius. You will remorse it for the remainder of your life.”

“Remorse? I remorse having a weakling such as you for a brother. You recognize it too. It’s a must to, because you’re king. You recognize that the Northern Alliance has been planning to invade Wisseragna. And all you do is sit again and do nothing. You might have the ability to take over the world. However all you do is fantasize about peace. Effectively, I will make your dream come true. I will take over the world and as it is going to be underneath my rule, the world shall know true peace.”

“Julius, you have gone mad. It should have been due to Cana-san’s dying. Don’t be concerned. We’ll avenge her. We’ll avenge everybody. Simply put down the sword.”

“It is too late for that now. Goodbye, brother.” Stated Yamato as he struck down the king.

“Prince Julius.” Stated somebody behind him.

“Who’s there?” Requested Yamato as he circled. “W-What? It will possibly’t be. Ishin-san?! However how? I noticed you die.”

“Effectively, I used to be lucky sufficient to be saved within the final second. It seems like I am fairly exhausting to kill.”

“Thank goodness you are alive. However Victor…”

“That is sufficient! Prince Julius Wisseragna, you might be underneath arrest for the homicide of King Victor Wisseragna and for trying to homicide me as effectively. Thus you might be charged with treason and hereby sentenced to dying. Seize him, Kurosawa-san.”

“No! You will not get away with this! I will make you undergo for what you have achieved.”

“Sufficient chitchat. Kurosawa-san.”

“Sure, your majesty.” Stated the final as he turned to his males. “Prepared! Intention! Fireplace!”
