"How did the talk between father and son go ?" Priest Fentar asked from his seat at the side of the altar.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliYwwl3b1v
Balkyre Mor sighed, his body leaning to the right as he balanced himself on his walking stick.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5cRH3v0Z4
"I can't tolerate having such a treacherous bastard as a child", Mor replied.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DxkfdNvLP
"What does that mean then ?" Asked Fentar.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebfce0n8d7
"Balkyre Fang has to be eliminated", Mor replied.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4dp497iez
"Have you decided to challenge the will of the ancestors ?" Fentar asked standing from his seat.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkOSaQKkcS
"Then what do you want me to do ?"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLgHttX4U4
"Your schemes are endless", Fentar smiled, "but, we'll see how things are going to end."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7XZ7eNZJq
Mor was startled with the words coming from Fentar, knowing he spoke in vague statements, he just couldn't help but wonder if the priest was even concerned about the continuity of the Balkyre family.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXH4CX3aKi
"Why do you make me feel like you are an enemy ?" Asked Balkyre Mor.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLFaULLSMv
"The real enemy isn't me Mor", Fentar denied calmly as he walked past him, "I'm just playing my part as the guardian of the family's legacy."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzkXsjiPbn
"Ambiguous words", replied Mor, "so if the family collapses you won't be concerned as your only job is to protect the legacy of the family ?"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07oZLiWSI5
"Don't put words that I haven't said into my mouth", Fentar replied, "I told you countless times, the one who had been chosen was Fang. But you opposed, saying that he wasn't from the pure bloodline, you looked down on him thinking that he was nothing other than the son of a concubine, the lad played your foolish game with you and ended up fooling you."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwemxKBEkFm
"Stop your baseless accusations", Mor demanded, trying to maintain his calm.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pd1LkkGfK
"You are telling me to stop pointing at your misdeeds and where you have gone wrong and still want me to help you make amends", turning around Fentar said, "you really look down on me Balkyre Mor, but there is nothing I can do against it, since you have decided to wage war against the will of the heavens. Then, I'll see how long you can hold on until you perish."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyCwGDJ4HF
"Fentar !" Mor called. "Answer me Fentar !"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CGjIf0B5u
But Fentar went back to his seat at the side of the altar as he immersed himself in his meditation, not concerned about the presence of the Duke.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqU7fS8V5R
"You ignored me Fentar", Mor growled, "I'll make you regret it."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcOxAfbU5i
Turning around, Balkyre Mor stormed out of the cathedral, slamming the doors shut behind him. Meeting his guards outside who bowed their heads as soon as they noticed his presence, the door leading to the chariot was opened for the duke to climb in.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fUr5HVbnA
"This is just the start Fang", Mor growled, "you think you have what it takes to rival the might of the seven families, you must be joking. Even if the heavens are on your side, you are nothing but a mite in the face of death, nothing but a pig preparing to get slaughtered.

"By the will of the ancients !"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzs1E9nkuX
"By the will of the ancients !" The chant was repeated by the members seated at this secret council of the seven families. The head of each family were seated at the front row, while the speaker stood at the podium sounding out the proclamation as the congregation repeated after him, taking the oath.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNjMXGM3BW
"By the will of the fathers !"

Ora couldn't help but marvel at the the way the hall was filled tonight, so this was what her father had meant about the desire of the seven families to oust the royal family. On the surface it had always seemed like the royal family and the elites were coexisting in harmony, but those at the corridors of power were fully aware the such a relationship was simply a guise to hide the treachery and plots brimming at the horizons to bring forth an age where they will be free to fight for what they believed was their right.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uqh8BHCjj
"Ora", her father called, as he walked towards her, his cloak and mask concealing his face, with the congregation slowly dispersing after the oath had been taken.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fX0ORYGxw
"For no reason", her father warned, "no matter how severe or small, must you break the oath you have made here today."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhIwa9zUFl
"Yes father", Ora replied nodding her head.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLW1HjQATF
"And from now on", Desmator continued, "you mustn't have anything to do with that scoundrel."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmiTAKCMoo
Ora knew who her father was speaking of, she just couldn't believe that Fang had publicly gone against the order of his father and had challenged the power of the seven families.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ237EP0Twqj
"Yes father", she answered obediently.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zKuzy2Bqf
"So you must know that from now on, anyone who didn't take this oath is an enemy to our cause."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb6rRpxrPj
Ora watched as her father Desmator Mcveller walked away to meet the other patriarchs and matriarchs of the seven families who were planning on having a meeting after the oath taking in secret.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMJad9zG0x
"Fang", she sighed, "why did you choose to do this ?"

"How far do you think they can go ?" The second Mace, Flame, asked from his position at the right of the table.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTZ5zVldoO
"I don't expect to see peace in the next century", replied Wind, the third Mace.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dp7Ip9V8z
"Do you believe that anyone can be able to bridge the gap between victory and defeat ?" Said Dark, the first Mace, at the head of the table.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb6rn6w4Ys
"The only ones who have chosen to defy us, are those belonging to the GOLDEN VEIL." Said Wind, the third Mace.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RcsVpvO0o
"I know", replied Dark, the first Mace, "Sage Synagogue is indeed a tough one to deal with."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeRYYCJXJ2
"Being able to vie against the SIX NETHER ARCH REALMS in just a decade is a feat no one had anticipated", Flame, the second Mace revealed.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBzPxkmAc7
"But BLACKHOLE isn't what the GOLDEN VEIL can toy with either. I don't believe SAGE SYNAGOGUE will be foolish to look down on us", said Wind, the third Mace.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xPF4bcJ7q
"That doesn't give us the right to look down on the Golden Veil either", Dark cautioned, "The kings of the thirty-six empires belonging to each of the SIX NETHER ARCH REALMS are just pawns in our hands, they are nothing more. But we must remember, that there are those who are under the wing of the Golden Veil."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhNsgs7VfZ
"They aren't bold enough to reveal themselves", Flame revealed, "I believe that they aren't confident about their chances of winning if they go against us openly."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHGROcTDre
"You might be correct", Wind said, "but ..."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsQF3sv63H
"What if they are more concerned about other pressing issues", interrupted Dark, "that they don't see us as much of a threat ?"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZAXtOtvTp
"That can't be", Flame interjected.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL2ptE9Zdg
"I was going to say the same thing", Wind replied, "what if there is something brewing in the dark other than the imperial war of the SIX NETHER ARCH REALMS that we haven't taken note of ?"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ2n2bbR9K
"You might be right", Dark rose from his seat at the head of the table. Taking out that orb from his cloak, he crushed it with his palms.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwJKPutnOj
"We cannot tolerate any form of opposition", Dark said, "and about that ?"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMAU6tK2tU
"You mean the rebellion of the seven families within the Vercan realm", said Wind.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMPAmwKIgt
"That brat of a king, Vel Nor openly going against the passing of the Bill Five Annexations", reminded Flame.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIecaHLnGRG
"Today will be the day of the final judgement", said Dark, "if it isn't approved, then we won't hesitate to use the other method."

The day had finally come, with the royal court of the Vercan realm filled to the brim with its judges and priests, who dictated the verdict of the law and "justice" to the people.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOpCftkYwa
"Your highness", judge Radious called, "the Bill of Five Annexations, will be a profitable venture for the Vercan realm, to be a part of. And you will be the only one, standing in the way of such a glorious milestone, by refusing to give your approval to this bill."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B0cojdCkv
"Radious' words are true indeed", judge Maltevor added, "with the Bill of Five Annexations, the five empires of the sixth Nether Arch realm will be united in one cause, bringing forth a new era of peace, harmony with political stability and economic prosperity. Why will your majesty, his royal highness, Vel Nor, refuse such an offer that will be to the benefit of the people ?!"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwCdSyCctC
"We all support the words of the two judges !!!" All the judges seated in the court echoed apart from the priests who were seated before the king with their backs turned to him."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYDfyzuQVW
A sly move indeed, Vel Nor sighed. Throwing the blame on him in the guise that he is standing in the way of prosperity of the Vercan realm, when this was just a ruse contorted by both the seven elite families and the ten other realms of the sixth nether arch realm of this world. If he refused, the image of a dictator and a corrupt royalist would be portrayed to the entire Vercan realm, this wouldn't be a reasonable option to take if he was going to maintain his acceptance as the ruler and king of the people. But, this was the real trap, saving his popularity by giving in to the demands of a bunch of schemers and plotters who's foundations for their treasonous ploys will be laid by him trying to save his name in front of the masses, a tricky situation indeed. No wonder the lad decided to take the least considered alternative, TO SHOCK THEM ALL !
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AFPzDrShc
Vel Nor stared at the audience made up of members of the seven elite families and prominent individuals of their realm and beyond, who were seated at this auditorium, awaiting his verdict. To them, there was no option he was going to choose that wasn't going to be detrimental to his plans of retaining power.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHy9O54Wls
HE WAS A PREY THAT HAD NOW BEEN CORNERED ...
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLFLJLPQIr
"Do you as the priests of the parliament", king Vel Nor said to the seven priests of the court seated before him with their backs turned, "deem this bill as worthy of being passed into the law ?"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfqmW4dkkJ
... WITH NO OTHER OPTION ...
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPbvs24Pkv
"Of course your highness", said the prime priest, "its an opportunity that we cannot sit and watch as it passes us by."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMWoEWFp6u
... BUT TO SURRENDER ...
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu50oClYcet
"Then", Vel Nor gave his Verdict, "I have decided ..."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEzpXudiUM
... OR ...
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzvORBKqhF
"... that from now on, the bill of Five Annexations ..."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0fHRd7zep
... FACE THE BEAST HEAD-ON ...
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlHIyE8h1r
"... will come into effect."
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYT16Um12k
The auditorium was enveloped by whispers, whispers of rejoice and shock. To the devils of the seven elite families, what had made the king who had always been against the passing of the bill, finally accept it ? Or had he given in to defeat ? And what about his trump card, the one he was hiding ? These were the whispers that were passed on to elite after elite seated at the parliament until ...
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV385pUevu
"Why do you think the king suddenly accepted to bring the bill into law ?"
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71gyJ4Conp
... Ora Desmator Mcveller asked the man seated next to her, he was also part of the seven families and had also partook in the oath taking, there wouldn't be a problem in doing that, will there ?
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJlr8vBI22
"Can't you see the full picture ?" The man replied.
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7a95HSi9m
He had a voice which sounded so familiar to Ora making her pay full attention to him. Lo and behold ...
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbo7mdF05Y
"Instead of playing the role of a prey, the king has decided to become a predator as well."

"They have made their move and it seemed it went in their favour", Balkyre Vanficus, the eldest son of Balkyre Mor, said, as he read the letter sent to him by his family, from Verca.

"How do you think your brother and the king, Vel Nor will fare after this ?" The man draped in that white military uniform, bearing both the emblem and demeanor of royalty asked.

"It doesn't matter", Vanficus replied, "the war has already started, now all that's left is for blood to flow."
