Chapter 257 - A Naive Scheme
[Castle of Blackwing]
The Castle of Blackwing was located in Clear wing City, one of the three cities in the north, the castle was magnanimous and imponent, whoever cross it, could almost felt an intense pressure coming from it, not only for the castle itself but for the people who lived in. Inside the castle, a man was keeling in front of handsome young man with long black hair.
"Commander Felipe"
"General Rudolph, what's the matter?"
Its been a couple of weeks since Felipe came back from Dragon City, however, he now has a new identity. He was the commander in chief of the Lion's legion, the former legion of Alfonso. As the commander in chief of a legion, although his status wasn't on par with the heads of the dragon families, it wasn't that far off either, all in all, his status was above of a simple lord, in fact, his status was even above Alfonso's right now.
"Commander, I request an audience with you because some of us has a matter that has been pondering my brother from the legion" Said Rudolph.
"You might talk"
"My commander, actually, we were pondering about whatever you would go to the lord conference that's going to take place in Inferno city?"
"I will go as a representing of the Veritia household" Said Felipe.
After hearing the affirmative answer of Felipe, Rudolph clenched his fist and looked at Felipe with determination.
"My lord, I will like to make a rather overwhelming request"
"What is it?"
"I want to take the elite men of the Leon legion with you!" Said Rudolph.
Felipe looked calm despite this request, as for whatever it was an overwhelming request, damn sure it was!
"This meeting is also a conference to express the good will of each town to each other, no one shall go with their army as that would not only be a challenge to the authority of the host town but would also be disrespectful to the other power houses, do you want to make the Veritia family the enemy of all the north?" Said Felipe coldly.
Rudolph sweat cold went he heard the words of Felipe, of course he knew that what he was requesting could be consider even an insult towards Felipe and the Veritia family, as a man who has grow in the army, he wouldn't dare to make this kind of request if he didn't has a very good reason for it.
"Your humble soldier know that this request could be consider a grave offense towards my commander, however…"
"However?"
"However, this is a matter of honor to the Leon legion! As well as to paid an old debt!" Said Rudolph.
Felipe looked at Rudolph.
"Is this about Alfonso Lockheart?" Asked Felipe.
Hearing the name of Alfonso, Rudolph couldn't help but clench his teeth.
"That's… that's right, Its about Alfonso Lockheart, our former commander, we, the Leon Legion, might not be the best legion out there, however… we are loyal towards our commander to death! Not matter death or live, we always follow our leader, because that's house our predecessors taught us, back in the days, went Alfonso Lockhear was still our commander, he did many stupid things that lead to the death of some our brothers, however, we still follow him without questioning him, after he was destitute, we couldn't help but feel a sense of relieve, Alfonso Lockheart was a piece of trash to the very core! But…"
"But?"
"But! After all this time, not only he didn't feel a little bit of penitence of what he did, but he dare to call of trash! This shame, we, the Leon Legion, can't not tolerate, that's why, my lord, I beg for my lord to take us with you!" Said Rudolph.
"That's all?" Said Felipe.
"Eh?"
"I mean, that's all? Your plan is to go there and kill Alfonso Lockheart, are you that much of a retard" Said icily Felipe.
"N-no, we wouldn't go that fat to kill him…"
"Then? What was your plan?"
"We- we were to challenge him to-"
"To what? To a duel? With a disable person!? You want me to lose my position that quickly!?" Snapped Felipe.
Felipe stood up and walked towards Rudolph.
"How are the masses are going to support if we attack in a peaceful meeting to a disable person, not to mention, he is a prince of Leitol! Are you a fucking idiot!" Shouted Felipe.
"My- my commander, that wasn't my intentio-"
"Listen, and listen well, general, you are soldiers, you have to do as you are told without complain" Said Felipe.
"My- My commander! Alfonso Lockheart isn't just a disable person, he is also a madman who is hated by all Leitol, if you were to take out his prestige, prince Fernando will surely be please" Said Rudolph.
"Ho? Keep talking" Said Felipe.
"My-my commander, as everyone knows, prince Fernando is an ally of the Veritia family, however, that's only because of his relationship with the young master of the Veritia family, nothing more, however, if you were to destroy Alfonso Lockheat prestige or, even more, completely destroy him, surely prince Fernando would be satisfy with you and that would make you have the same status as the current head of the Veritia's" Said Rudolph.
Felipe looked at Rudolph and smiled in satisfaction.
"Interesting, very interesting, so, you are not as stupid as I thought, however, we can't kill him" Said Felipe.
"Of-of course, since killing him will be challenging the Lockheart family, however, that's not the only means we have to take care of him"
"What are your suggestions?"
"I am sure that Alfonso Lockheart will take with him those two that came with him to his funeral, it seems that they were pretty dare to him, if we challenging to a duel and they were to die, surely, Alfonso Lockheart would go into a rampage and try to kill us and even more, try to thread the other lords… by then"
"By then, even if we kill him, nobody could complain, interesting, interesting plan indeed" Said Felipe.
"I got it, I will grant permission, go and fetch your men, however, ten is too much, five would be enough" Said Felipe.
"Tha-thanks! We won't disappoint my commander!" Said Rudolph with a smile.
"Just you wait, Alfonso Lockheart, the humiliation and the rage of my fallen commanders would be avenged!" Though Rudolph.
He saluted and then went on his way.
Felipe looked at the man and smiled.
"Kill they commanders huh? Is not a bad plan, however, is too naïve, If those two were by his side, surely, they are not as any weakling, especially that woman, I feel that she is way more than just looks" Though Felipe.
He crossed his legs and looked up.
"Alfonso Lockheart, surely you are extraordinary, you are a variable that happens to help my plan accelerate, I am looking forward to your performance this time, hehe, I am sure that you won't disappoint me" Though Felipe.
He caressed his ring and it emitted a green light, with that, in just a second Felipe disappear from his throne, leaving it empty.
While all of this happen, Alfonso was already on his way towards the Inferno City.
A huge storm was coming to Inferno city, however, nobody would have ever imagine how big the repercussion would be then.
