While prince Sebastian and his sunshine were taking a morning nap since neither of them rested well the previous night, the solution was different for lord Darth and two of his supporters that we''re still breathing.
"Lord Darth, what should we do now?" One of the two asked. Lord Darth narrowed his eyes. He had not expected that dealing with the crown prince will be so difficult.
Two of his supporters had lost their life, if they stopped now, those who died will have died for nothing. But if they were to go on, there is no guarantee that they will not join them.
"We already planned carefully we can not back down now," lord Darth replied.
"That is right, we already lost two of our members we can not betray them by stepping back," the first lord replied.
The second lord was surprised by their choice, are you two out of your mind?" He asked in a slightly raised tone. "Two of us already dir for this plan, does this not tell you something? It is better to stop now," he disagreed with both their decision.
"What are you saying?" Lord Darth was angry. He had suffered much humiliation that day and soon the news will spread around the kingdom. He would rather die, trying than to hide like a coward.
"How can you not know what I am saying? The gods already choose the crown prince, we men can not fight against him. Or have you forgotten how lighting from nowhere roasted out brother like goat meat? Do you want that to be our fate?" The second lord said.
"Ahh! I never thought you were a Coward. We will not bow down, I will die honorably," lord Darth declared.
"Then I will burn incense on your grave but I am backing out. Even if I want to be brave, how will I face my ancestors if my family is destroyed in my hands," the second lord said and was ready to leave if the first lord did not stop him.
"Brother wait, although I agree with you point but e can not abandon our falling brothers. One was slain and the other roasted. It is our responsibility to ensure that they did not die for nothing," the first lord said.
"I get you point but it is not our fault that those two have died. First we made arrangement that we should not raise our sword against the prince since we knew we were no match for him, but that lord was too impatient and went seeking his death.
The same goes for the second, he had questioned the priest so he was struck by the gods. Even if the two brought their death upon themselves we can not abandon them now, so I suggest we three left take care of their family, not seek our own death," the second lord explained his point to him.
When the first lord heard his words he becomes convice by them. Moreover, he was not willing to die and leave his family to destruction.
"You have a point, Lord Darth, I think we should back down, after all, it the crown prince already received our ancestors and the gods blessing," the first lord said when he noticed that lord Darth''s expression was still not right.
"Fools," lord Darth sneered. "How are you sure that the prince has really been chosen and he did not play tricks with the priest to get the throne?" Lord Darth replied.
"You are just overthinking things, even common logic is enough to prove that the egg is the real one. Or how ease do you explain it been place on the heavenly flames for more than an hour without a small crack?" The second lord asked.
"How are you sure it is a egg? It could be a stone," lord Darth said. Although deep down in lord Darth mind he knew that his thought were a bit unreasonable but he refuse to believe that prince Sebastian was the chosen king.
When the two lords heard his words they both possibility. When lord Darth saw this he decided to say a few more words to convice them.
"This is not impossible after all apart from the two of them no one else would touch the egg. Think about it, he refused to put the egg on the fall so that it will disappear. Tell me, was it not because he was trying to hide the fact that the thing in their hand is not an egg?" Lord Darth said.
The first lord thought that lord Darth had a point, but before he could open his mouth, the second lord beat him to it.
"Lord Darth, you are beginning to be unreasonable. No matter what the prince could not swallow a stone that big. If he dares, I am sure he would be dead already he said.
"I am not been unreadable, it impossible for him to change a stone into an egg," lord Darth insisted.
"That is not possible, I watched everything with my eyes. Besides if the prince tried to swallow a whole egg, it should be discomforting, who knows he might even chock. But the prince swallowed the egg like as easy as drinking water," The second lord disagreed.
Lord Darth raised his brows but he could not continue arguing. "I will not back down," he said stubbornly.
"Then I will not forget to burn the incense," the Second lord said and left the place. This time he did not stop when the first lord called him.
"Are you also going to become a coward? Everything is already set," lord Darth turned to the first lord who was still presence.
"Lord Darth, it is not a matter of being a Coward. The Crown prince is not someone that we can easily defeat, even if he does not have the blessing of the gods. We should give up now that we have not gotten into trouble," the first lord said.
"If you want to give up like that Coward, then leave, but do not expect me to share any of the benefit with either of you," lord Darth warned.
Although the chance of their plan being successful is small, it was not impossible. When the first lord heard this he become a bit reluctant but when he remembered that this chance was really small, and if they failed the consequences will be dare, he decided to walk away.
"Lord Darth, one must know when to give up. If there is a chance in the future then we can make a move," after saying this the first lord also walked away.
"Fools, Cowards I will make you all miserable after I become powerful," Lord Darth cursed after the man had walked away. He voice was not particularly low and lord Darth did not seem to care if the lord who just walked away a few moments ago heard him.
The first lord heard him since they have meet in an abandoned house and it was still early in the morning.
The morning breeze carried his words to the first lords ear but he did not take it to heart." you have to succeed first before you think of punishing me," the first lord sneered.
Since their brotherhood has been broken and lord Darth wanted to take Revenge if he managed to succeed, the first lord decided to find the second lord so they could stop him from succeeding together.
About an hour later the two lords meet.
"Are you certain these are his words?" the second lord was surprised. He did not expect things to turn out like this. After all they had join lord Darth because they thought he had and excellent plan but after what happened at night they both changed their mind. Logical lly speaking he should not hold an grudge against them. Even if he decides to keep the benefits all to himself.
"Why would I lie to you?" the first lord shook his head.
"What should we do now? Although it is only a small chance we still have to be prepared right?" the second lord said.
"you are right, but the only thing we can do now is stop him from succeeding," the first lord answered.
The second lord thought about it, "there is only a small chance for him it succeeded, if we try to come up with a plan to stop him now, we might fail. So I suggest we let him carry out the plan. Of he succeeded, then we can make plans to expose him and reap the benefit but if he fails the crown prince will deal with him, " the second lord said after thinking about it carefully.
" That is right, we stand to get some benifits of we follow your arrangement, " the first lord was very please. The two mean immediately started making plans.
Benifits is what brought this two people together in the first place so they had the same mind set.. They both cared about Benifits but their safety mattered most to them.
