When the men at the table saw that the door was pulled open, they hoped that the prince''s men at the door has been defeated and rescue has come for them.


    A group of four men walked in and the door was shut closed immediately. The man who was in front of the four men scan through the faces of the men.


    When he gazes rested on prince Sebastian he immediately bowed his head. "Your highness," Eight said. He did not know what the prince looked like but he was quite familiar with his blood lust aura. Besides the queen was standing beside him and he said the stain of blood on just white and the dead body around him.


    "What?" Prince Sebastian was not in a good mood. He just wanted to kill all these people and return to his sunshine.


    "A massage Avalo," Eight said handing over the book in his him. Prince Sebastian collected the book and opened it immediately. He knew that this message may have something to do with his sunshine.


    He frowns his brows as he read the message from One and the king''s armor-bearer. Prince Craig had killed the king and seized the throne. His sunshine has managed to escape with One.


    Queen magret was paying attention to his face, so she naturally noticed his frown brows.


    "What does it say?" Queen magret asked.


    Prince Sebastian did not say anything, he simply handed over the book to his mother. Queen magret was shocked but her facial expressions did not change.


    She had mastered controlling her face in every situation. She had not expected prince Craig to take the initiative and kill the king. She had been planning to trick him into killing the king. "Can this be karma?" Queen magret was aware that her father-in-law had not died a natural death. King Rodrick had a hand in it. He wanted to seat on the throne and deal with his brother before they think of plotting against him.


    Now his son has killed him for the same reason. These princes had indeed inherited their father''s greed nature. She felt relive that her son did not share his blood directly.


    "Stick to the plan, let her go to her kingdom. Things will get bloody here. It is not safe," Queen Magret whispered.


    The prince agreed with her logic. The princess will be safe at home. The war with these four kingdoms has already started and he would need to deal with them. He was currently no longer the prince of Avalo.


    His brother has seized the throne. He will have to war against Avalo. If he lets go of this kingdom now they might team up with prince Craig and the force against him will become strong.


    "Kill everyone in the room,  except the kings," Sebastian said.


    "You do not have the right to kill us among these men. We are princes from Avalo. At least let return to the kingdom and let father be the judge," the sixth prince said. He was not ready to die.


    "Start with the traitors," prince Sebastian said. A fight began immediately. Eight and his brothers were very fast. only those with exceptional skill can be among the prince most trusted.


    As they fought prince Sebastian got a feather and decided to reply to the message. His sunshine could not be left at the mercy of prince Craig.


    The four kings did not know what to do. On one hand, the prince had spared their lives but again their subjects were been killed. Queen magret watch but she could not take the scene of the old lord getting killed. No matter what the man has been like a father.


    Maybe it was because she felt guilty for not seeing him the last time, she suddenly walked forward and pull the man out of the group.


    Two were about to hit him. A few of the men tried to first for their life while others gave up. The old lord was one of those who gave up when the Queen suddenly pull him out of the hands of death.


    He was already too old age. He did not mind dying but he was grateful to her for serving him. He wanted to die in his bed peacefully.


    "Are you okay uncle?" Queen magret asked. The old lord smiled. He thought the Queen no longer recognized him. He had treated the Queen as a father and in turn, the young Queen magret loved him very much.


    "I am happy to be able to see you one more before I join my assessors," the Old lord answers.


    "I am glad to see you too, uncle," Queen magret smile. "Are you hurt anywhere?" The Queen worriedly looked at the man.


    "I am fine, you did not need to save me, I do not have much time left anyway," the old lord said.


    "Then you should stay at home and rest more, you can not keep running around," Queen magret said.


    At this time the prince finishes writing his messages. He read it calmly before sending it. He would not want them to misunderstand his message.


    He looked to see his mother talking to the old elder. No matter what he understands that his mother will have an emotional attachment to a few people. He swept his gaze around the room.


    The room that was once lively was now in dead silence. The smell of blood was thick.


    "Your majesty, I will give you two choices, it up to you what you want. You have twenty thousand men, you will hand over twenty percent of these men to me. You will also swear an oath to be loyal to me. In exchange, I will give you your life back.  Or you can fight and die honorable men," Prince Sebastian said.


    "Oath? I will never swear one, I do not mind if you take twenty percent of the men," king of Greenland was the one that spoke first.


    "That''s okay, without taking an oath to be loyal to me, you will die, have you forgotten about what I said about my face and the curse.


    " I will do it, as long as you will spare the people of Shem," the king of sham said.


    The other kings looked at him with disgust. How can a king be this shameless? They thought. When the king of Sham saw the way they looked at him, he shook his head.


    "As a king, I must set aside my pride for the safety of my kingdom. Besides I cannot be prideful. A King with an ego must have the ability to show off. Tell me what will become of your kingdoms and ego if you die here and now?" He raised his brows.


    To him, when he has the ability to show off his ego he would. His late father told him that the safety of the kingdom should always come first.


    The other kings felt ashamed after they heard these words. All is indeed fair in war and love. In this world, only someone with power can afford to keep his pride.
