"Okay, please introduce yourselves to the king," Brabus added. Of course, Brabus told the king about them, but he knew it was a formality for them to introduce themselves.Hudson and Ajax introduced themselves to the king. "So, what brings two high-ranking magicians to my palace today? I hear you lads want to talk business," Julius said, stroking his beard."Yes, your highness," Ajax replied. Ajax was nervous to tell the king that he needed an army from him. He knew if he made the request, the king would look at him as crazy, but they are already here; there is no turning back at this point."You see, Hudson and I are planning a coup against King Alexander of Magnitoz City, and we need men for that," Ajax said calmly."What!" Julius screamed as his voice echoed throughout the room."Yes, my lord," Hudson added."What type of treachery is this?" Julius asked in a rumbling tone with his eyes wide open."My lord, before you say anything, let me explain the reason why we are planning a co
"So, what do you say? Is my offer generous enough?" He asked raising an eyebrow."Yes, your highness," Ajax responded."Give me a moment; let me talk this out with Hudson," Ajax said as he did a half bow and turned to look at Hudson."What do you think about his offer? Do you have up to 300,000 gold coins in the system’s vault as we speak? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we need this offer," Ajax said in a low tone, staring at Hudson."Yes, I do have that amount in the system’s vault, but don’t you think the amount of gold coins he is calling outrageous? This amount is almost all the money I have left in the system’s vault," Hudson replied softly.The king could barely hear what they were talking about, but he hoped that they would accept his offer. Brabus, on the other hand, was just standing behind them and watching as they discussed amongst themselves."Hudson, that doesn’t matter at the moment; what is the use of the coins if you won’t be able to spend them when
They arrived in front of the courtyard, where they saw the hundred men all gathered and chatting amongst themselves. As they saw that the king was in front of them, they all went quiet. "Listen up!" Julius screamed."I have summoned you all here today for a very important and dangerous mission. You all are some of my most skilled men, and I want you all to give your best to this mission and make the most of it. I want you all to be prepared to give your lives for this cause, as it is a very delicate matter," Julius stated in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the courtyard."We are ready!" A couple of the men screamed in unison as they went down on one knee and did a half bow for the king.Rise, my soldiers!" Julius yelled. "Now, I will have the man that is going to be controlling this whole operation come and address you all," Julius said as he turned to look at Ajax and waved at him to come forward.As Ajax looked at all of them, he started to become nervous; he didn’t k
***Ajax and his men were running on a road path that was in between trees as they arrived in front of a wall that was made from huge stones. They halted as they looked around and saw a man and about six guards standing in front of the stones. The man was Athens. Athens was shocked by the number of men that were in front of him, and he told his guards to follow him as they walked closer to them. Ajax, on the other hand, recognized Athens swiftly as the king’s right-hand man.Ajax knew not to run, as Athens and his men were outnumbered. Also, there was no turning back for him at this point. Athens folded his arms as he arrived in front of Ajax. "Who are you all, and why are you all running through this path?" Athens asked curiously. He could see the Bristol lights clearly and knew that there was a high-ranking magician amongst them. Athens was looking at the dressing of one of the men; he was checking to know where they were coming from, as he knew all the styles people in the magical
"This is what we are going to do. Everyone listen up," Ajax said in a rumbling tone. "You all should take care of all the guards that are guiding the front of the palace and also inside, while me and Hudson will head straight towards the king’s chamber, and we need four men to accompany us inside," Ajax explained in a rumbling tone, making sure that everyone could hear him. Everyone nodded silently, agreeing with him. "Alright then, let’s get going," Ajax said in a rumbling tone. As they got to the palace, all the men separated and started attacking all the guards, while Ajax and Hudson’s eyes were fixed on going into the palace and confronting the king. They got closer to the king’s chambers as they saw two guards in front of the door. Ajax ordered the men behind them to handle the guards as the men killed the guards. Hudson tried pushing the door open, but it was locked from the inside. "The door is locked from the inside!" Hudson yelled as he turned to face Ajax. The men that we
It was only a long pair of trousers that he was wearing under the robe. Alexander had huge muscles with veins all over his body. Seeing his muscles, Ajax and Hudson's mouths opened wide in awe. They were shocked to see how huge the king was under the robe.Ajax gulped. ‘Holy Magnitoz, I never knew the king was this muscular under that robe; how do I fight against him now? He is like times two my size; I can’t back out of the combat either; I will have to fight him even with the possibility that he would beat me hands down and kill me in the process’ Ajax thought."Now, let’s begin the combat; the rest of you should move backwards for now," Alexander said in a rumbling tone. He could sense the fear that they had after seeing how he looked under his robe.Hudson and the guards move backward, creating space in the center of the chamber. Alexander and Ajax stood in the center of the chamber, both in a fighting stance. ‘This might be one of the toughest fights and probably the last fight o
***The following morning,Hudson woke up feeling something warm on his leg. He opened his eye to look in front of him as he saw a woman pressing a towel on his leg. "Where am I?" He asked as he looked around. He saw Ajax on a bed next to him, and a woman was also pressing a towel on Ajax's legs."You are at Goodwell’s Hospital," the woman who was pressing the warm towel on his leg answered.Hudson noticed that he could only see out of one eye as he touched his left eye and felt a cloth on it. ‘I almost forgot that my eye was removed in the fight last night’ He thought."How did me and my friend get here?" Hudson asked, staring at the lady. She was wearing a white gown. She stopped pressing the towel on his leg as she stood upright."A couple of men brought you two here last night; they are currently waiting outside the hall," she answered."There is no need for you to worry, Hudson; I told them to bring us here; you passed out after everything that happened last night," Ajax said cal
Two days later, it was the day of Ajax's coronation to become king.They were hosting the ceremony in the open field of the palace. There were multiple chairs arranged across the field, with guests from all over the city. Dean Agatos, King Julius, Brabus, and a couple of other people in the city—both people that Hudson and Ajax have dealt with in the past—were all present.Hudson and Ajax were inside the king’s chambers. Hudson was helping Ajax get ready for the coronation. Hudson placed the large crown with diamonds encrusted in it on Ajax’s head. Ajax was wearing a robe that was made from lion skin. This was the way that the old sorcerer asked Ajax to dress for the ceremony. He is the one who is going to crown Ajax as the new king of the city."You are going to be officially crowned as the new king of Magnitoz City; how do you feel?" Hudson asked, staring at Ajax with a smile."I don’t know how to feel, but I know I feel happy," Ajax responded."I heard most of the citizens will be
Ajax picked up the pen and dipped into the ink as he started composing the letter “Julius I caught a couple of your men in my territory they killed hundreds of my men and now they are all dead including the head Hercules. With all this information, I would like for you to pick inside one of the two options that I’m giving you. One is either you get ready for war in the next three days as me and my men will be invading your city, two is either you come to my palace tomorrow with 3,000,0000 gold coins and 500 of your men that are going to be working under my kingdom. There are no negotiations, if I don’t see you in my palace tomorrow, I’m going to assume that you picked war. Have a nice day,” Ajax ended the letter.After that, he sealed it up and gave it to the guard that was standing in front of him.“Your job is to deliver that letter to King Julius, after you give the letter to him, get out of there and head back straight away,” Ajax instructed. After that, he dismissed the guard.Hu
“Sounds perfect,” Ajax muttered.“Now I want you all to move back from the prisoners,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as he stood up. Telling them to move back didn’t entail that they should leave the room. So, they understood his orders perfectly.Ajax came down from his throne and walked toward the men who were kneeling on the floor including Hercules.“Now, I can tell that you lots are not from this city, hence why none of you know magic and couldn’t even dress accordingly like a true Magnitoz citizen. That must mean that you all are from Human Valley, so, I would like for you all to help me understand who sent you here and why did you target my guards,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the room.All the men were quiet, they were now four in number including Hercules. “Are none of you going to speak!” Ajax screamed with his eyebrows tightly pressed together. Hudson and the guards that were in the room were all quiet. They could sense how angry Ajax was.Aja
‘Oh my goodness, could it be Julius’s men behind these attacks? Does that mean that Julius is trying to start a war with me? I don’t think he would want to start a war though. I will have to give him the benefit of the doubt, if I catch one of those men tomorrow, I will interrogate him and get the information I want out of him. I will have to get to the bottom of all of this, Ajax thought.***Meanwhile, inside a large bush that was filled with a lot of men, they were the 50 trained men that Julius had deployed in Magnitoz city and their leader was a 35-year-old man named Hercules, he was about 7 feet tall and built with a lot of muscles. They had killed 23 of the men that Ajax sent to them and dumped their bodies in the river that was at the back of the bush. Hercules was told that two of the men escaped from them.“Listen up everyone!” Hercules screamed calling all their attention over to him.“Yes, commander!” They all answered in unison as they shifted their attention over to Herc
“You are right honey, this is what we are going to have to be doing now,” she replied with a smile. After that, Hudson told her goodbye as he ended the call. He sat down on the chair.***Later in the night,Hudson was lying on his bed; he was scrolling through his contact list as he saw Maddy’s contact and remembered that he hadn’t called her just like he promised her he would. Also, Hudson had an idea for a second date that he planned for when he got back from the magical world from his mission. He dialed her number and placed the phone on his ear. After a few rings, Maddy answered the call.“Hey Maddy, how are you doing?” He asked in a loving tone.“I’m doing fine and you?”“Fine, you know, I’m sorry I didn’t call you yesterday, I was occupied with a lot of things,” he said calmly.“Nah, don’t worry, it’s fine, I was also occupied with a lot of things,” she replied.“Cool, you know, I had a lot of fun time with you, and I have an idea for a second date, I don’t know if you would be
“I will do it, I will hang out with Maddy and go with the flow, I won’t think about secrets for now,” he said gazing into her eyes. Tricia let his head go as she stood up.“That’s good, just let everything flow for now,” she replied. She was happy that Hudson was going to lose up about the whole thing and let everything flow with Maddy.“I will be heading down to the dining table to set up dinner, I will call you when I’m done,” she said attempting to leave the room.“Okay Mom,” he muttered. After that, Tricia went out of the room.‘My mom must want me to get close to Maddy or even be dating her or she just wants to see me dating a woman or be happy, I don’t know which might be the case, but I am happy to oblige, I truly do like Maddy. I don’t know why I have never tried going on a date before, but I felt alive talking to Maddy today, and talking to a woman other than my mom is not that bad. I did feel a lot of sexual tension with her, even if I am still a virgin’ Hudson thought.As h
"Yes, I have been in love three times before and in three relationships overall. My last relationship ended five months ago; he was very toxic and abusive. It took a lot for me to get out of the relationship because I loved him a lot, but after I gathered the courage to leave him, since then I haven’t been able to get back into the dating pool as I had poured all my efforts and myself into my work. But I will say this: I am attracted to and interested in getting to know you," she stated calmly, staring into Hudson’s eyes.Hudson smiled upon hearing the last words she said. ‘I wish it were that easy for me to let her into my life; I wish it were that easy, but I am not sure she would be able to handle the truths that come with being in my life, and I am sure if she got to know the type of person I am, she wouldn’t want to stay or even believe what I actually do for a living’ Hudson thought."I am equally attracted to you and interested," he replied. ‘It’s not bad after all; I am glad m
***Hudson arrived in front of a fancy restaurant that had bright fancy lights all over the place. As he entered the restaurant, the sound of classic music hit him, and that was when he realized that the restaurant was not a regular restaurant. Hudson looked around and saw multiple people occupying the tables in the restaurant. He looked around to see if he could spot the description of the lady that his mom gave him and a lady that was sitting alone. Hudson spotted a table where a blonde woman was sitting alone, and from the way she was sitting, he could tell that she was short. "That’s definitely her," he mumbled as he ambled over to the table."Good afternoon, are you Maddy?" He asked with a smile. She raised her head to look at him as she realized that it was Hudson; she had seen photos of him that Tricia had sent to her prior to the date."Yes, I am. Have a seat. It’s nice to finally meet you, Hudson," Maddy said with a bright smile. She was wearing a red dress with bright crysta
"For this particular job, I will get it done for 20,000 dollars," Joshua responded."Sounds good. When do you think you are going to get it done?" Hudson inquired. Joshua assured him that he was going to get it done within three days. After that Hudson escorted him out of the house as Joshua carried the bags of gold coins with him."I look forward to doing a lifetime of business with you," Hudson said in a rumbling tone. As Joshua was heading towards the gate."Me too, sir!" Joshua replied.***Later in the afternoon, Hudson was getting ready in front of the large mirror that was inside his closet. He wanted to head over to the mall and get the items for his shop in the magic world."Hudson, where are you?" Tricia called out to him. Hudson was shocked to hear his mom’s voice; he didn’t think that she would be home at this time of the day."I’m in here, mom!" Hudson answered as he swiftly closed the button of the blue shirt that he was wearing.As he was about to come out of the closet
"Yeah, you are right; do you know any goldsmith?" Hudson asked, hoping that she would know a goldsmith.Tricia told him that she doesn’t know any, but that Hudson could look for one himself and that Goldsmith is everywhere online. After that, they both agreed that Hudson would look for a goldsmith himself, negotiate everything with the person, and then keep in touch with the goldsmith."It is settled then; you are going to work on getting a goldsmith," Tricia said, staring at Hudson. She noticed a sad look on Hudson’s face. ‘I don’t think Hudson is himself at all; he looks down. I think I should do something nice for him, something that would lift his spirit’ she thought."Yeah, I will start doing the research tonight," he replied. Tricia stood up from the couch."I should get going back to the restaurant; I need to get a few things done. We will catch up in the night when I’m back," she said with a smirk. Hudson stood up as he hugged her, and after that, Tricia went out of the house.
