Although the number of enemy soldiers were estimated to be about 200, it was only after they arrived at the encampment area in forest did, they realize that there was almost a battalion. Cornelius and Baldwin were shocked by what they saw; Even so, they knew what that this wasn’t the time to lose composure. They signalled their men to stop, and the duo called Credi and instructed him to scour the perimeter, moving through the trees to get an estimate of the layout of the encampment.Credi saluted silently in acknowledgement and took three of his best men and scattered in different directions, soaring into the skies using the trees. Cornelius and Baldwin waited patiently while formulating a general combat plan. After about 20 mins later, Credi and his crew returned; each drawing a rough map of the area they covered on the ground with a stick for Cornelius and Baldwin to review.Corenlius pointed at the armoury that was located at the two ends of the enclosure and marked it with an ‘X’;

Both Matthew and Harry rushed into kitchen hearing Martin’s shout, and they too stood rooted, stunned in shock.“Just in time…” Mira smiled happily feigned ignorance to their shock “Help your cousin take the cauldron down from the fire.”Martin still hadn’t reacted when he was slapped at the back of his head by Jack “What are you spacing out for? Didn’t hear your sister-in-law?”The huge cauldron was extremely heavy, and it took not just Jack and Martin, but also Thomas, Matthew and Harry to lift the cauldron and place it on the floor.Cornelius and Baldwin heard the ruckus in the kitchen and walked into the kitchen without any airs; they too were shocked beyond words when they saw Mira, who was busy transferring the soup into pots. The only person who wasn’t shocked by Mira’s presence was Lazarus as he was aware and even had six of his men follow her while they were on the road from Southamberston to Fern Forest. It was only after reaching Fern Forest that Mira said she was resting at

Cornelius and all the men who came along with him started on their way back just after daybreak. They didn’t forget to make noise and let everyone in their surrounding area know of their disappointment and helplessness as they had to return back to their homes. The trip back was without any events; they kept a weary slow pace when they had company and raced against time when they were on their own.“Halt” Cornelius raised his hand that was clenched in a fist as he reached the gates of the capital; he scanned the surrounding with narrowed eyes before speaking in a low voice “Something does not look right…. don’t you think it is too quiet for this time of the day???”Parker looked around with pursed lips; he had been careless, he didn’t notice anything was amiss till his sovereign warned him.“Are we….” Harry opened his mouth but closed without asking the obvious.“Would uncle be in danger?” Mira asked anxiously as she tugged Jack’s arms.“With or without his memories…. a tiger can never

The shadow guard who had previously left arrived with Dame Killion just as they finished speaking. “Your highness.” Jane knelt with her right hand fisted to her chest, as was the customary greeting for knights and soldiers during missions; currently she wasn’t appearing before Orseus as the Duchess of Zador but the knight commander in charge of palace security. “Hell is about to break loose…” Jerome spoke as Orseus waved his hand gesturing Jane to rise “Are you ready to meet your maker?” “As ready as I will ever be…” Jane’s lips curled up confidently as she added “But I can promise to send those sons of bitches that dared to encroach on our land, to meet, their maker before I do.” “Aye…. I will drink to that.” Jerome rose as he lifted the cup that he was sipping tea from and downed it. “Take a seat.” Orseus ordered noting that Jane was still standing and Jerome had stood up as a sign of respect; as a sovereign he couldn’t stand up even if he wanted to …. that would be disrespectfu

Jack, Mira, Martin and Thomas didn’t head to Southamberston as they had previously planned but instead, headed straight for the palace. However, halfway through, Martin met with Lyra, the eldest daughter of Cain, the first master Soren who was heading in the direction towards Southamberston looking extremely distraught and beside herself. After understanding that she was going to Southamberston to look for his parents, he decided to accompany her to avoid trouble and bid farewell to Jack after promising that he would meet with them at the palace gates after escorting Lyra safely. Coming out of the forest lining the Southamberston duchy, Jack beckoned one of his men and ordered “Return to Southamberston and report back immediately if there is anything urgent. If not, stay back and guard the duchy.” From the moment Martin left, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that something wasn’t right. The soldier fisted his right hand against his chest and rode in the direction of Southamberston,
