Lord Mordian and the soldiers that accompanied him moved cautiously along the wide corridor upstairs, they were on alert, while holding the shaft of their swords.Lord Mordian understood that this was a critical condition, with time also of the essence because he believed that Robin Lano was already on the course of an escape, now that his residence was surrounded.Lord Mordian knew that letting Robin Lano escape would be very detrimental to their goal of putting an end to the rebellion, because the rebels would now be fully aware of the king's plan of being offensive, and it was very likely the bloody civilians would also resort to violence upon the arrest of one of their kingpin.Fully aware of the situation, Lord Mordian decided to make the use of magic.He recited some spells and at once, his vision became very clear to an extent he was able to see through the walls. He scanned the whole area and finally, he caught sight of them.He motioned for the soldiers to halt and they obey

The sound of thundering hooves were heard from afar as the Bauthinian military on horses, with sheathed swords, rode into the city center. The citizens of Bauthinia specifically in Laoia, had been left in a state of shock and uncertainty after the hostility that ensued between the rebellious faction, and the Bauthinian military.They feared that great chaos was nigh, and the thought of a possible civil war began to register in their minds.However, some of the Laoian population began to question king Lauihnio's leadership, even looking at him at a tyrant, due to the ugly and bloody scenerios they had witnessed which included the killing, maiming and torture of members of the rebellious faction, especially those that refused to lay down their arms in surrender to the king's authority.However the dominant and friendly presence of the military soon gave them hope for security and stability, because they had earlier harboured fears that the brutality that was brought upon the rebels wo

King Lauihnio's face tightened, his grip on the throne's armrests visibly tightening. His barons exchanged uneasy glances."Your words may be sharp, but they hold no truth. My reign as the king of Bauthinia is not, and has never been characterized as that of weakness, but of resilience and strength." He declared in a firm voice."Resilience? Strength? We see none of that in you, King Lauihnio. You cower behind your council, your barons, and your self-proclaimed honor, while the people suffer under your reign." Vetti interrupted, showing firm resolution, his voice dripping with contempt."Your incompetence was noticed very early, at the preamble stage of your reign by your uncle Lord Mordian who sought to take your throne." Said Kannio with much enthusiasm. "I bet he would have been a better ruler than you ever imagined in your wildest thoughts.""But what happened next. Not only did you imprison him, but you indoctrinated him and successfully got him to your side, all because of his b

"Now Vetti, do you have any witness to the charges with which to prove your claim about my inadequacy as ruler of Bauthinia?" King Lauihnio asked proudly, wearing a confident smile.The rebel leaders kept mum uttering no so, the weight of the shame upon them was too much, besides they had no proof to tender, most of their comrades were killed and suppressed during the resistance.Elder Rabon noticed their silence, and commenced the final proceedings. He studied the evidence at hand, however something inside him changed. King Lauihnio, who had always been a man of honorable character, stood tall and dignified. The rebels looked like they were about to crumble from the weight of their own accusations which proved to be lies.Elder Rabon put down the papers in front of him and looked up. It was at this moment that he knew he had to do something he had never done before."My lord," he began, addressing King Lauihnio with a nod of respect. "Your Grace the King, I cannot with good consci

The grand hall of King Lauihnio's palace in Bauthinia was resplendent with opulence and elegance. Golden chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, illuminating the polished marble floors below. Intricate tapestries depicting previous epic battles fought by the Bauthinian ancestors adorned the walls, serving as a constant reminder of the kingdom's glorious victories. As it struck midnight, the hall was alive with the sounds of laughter, music, and clinking glasses.Lord Mordian, looked like an imposing figure in his crimson robes embellished with intricate silver designs, and stood amidst a crowd of noblemen. His sharp blue eyes glinted with a mix of satisfaction and triumph. Beside him, King Lauihnio, tall and regal, exuded an aura of strength and authority. His silver crown rested proudly upon his golden curls, a symbol of his power and the unity of Bauthinia.Garthine Polion, appeared beside Lord Mordian. His broad grin revealed a rare sense of joy, his hardened features softened
