The Plot

Prince Hedy could not stand his mother's tears, he quickly held her in his arms and apologized.

"Mother please don't cry, am sorry for bringing this up again, I understand how difficult it is for you as a mother, please forgive me" he pleaded.

Queen Ursula quickly wipped away the tears coming down her cheek, she was having a fight inside of her, A part of her wants to spill everything out to her son while another part wants her not to open up. But then she remembered the message that was given to her husband by Nala on the day she gave birth to prince Walter she decided against saying anything immediately.

"It's ok son, I understand how you feel and how much you want your only brother around but do not worry very soon he will be home with us" she answered with a weak smile trying to hide her frustration..

"Get some rest mother, I will be returning to my chambers now", he said while getting up to leave. As prince Hedy returned to his chambers he made up his mind he was going to speak to his brother about it all, maybe he(Prince Walter) would open up and tell him what was going on.

*********************

Prince Walter walked back to the drinking house where he has left master Egon. Mila's name kept ringing in his ears,He could not tell why his heart was beating so fast nor why he kept letting out smiles as he walked.

He could not understand why he felt the way he did earlier when he looked into Mila's eyes and held her hand to help her stand but whatever it was he was sure he has never felt it before with anyone.

Master Egon was still sitted in the drinking house when he came back.

"My boy, you are here already" said master Egon.

" Yes Master he answered narrating his meeting with Mila and everything that had happened. Master Egon watched his expressions while he spoke. He had never seen Prince Walter speak about any woman the way he spoke about Mila whom he just met.

"Am happy you were able to help the young woman out it's always fulfilling when we help those in need, you have done well indeed" master Egon commended him.

" We should get going, it's getting late we need to rest he continued..

They both got up and went to the small guest house nearby where they rented a room to spend the night.

Master Egon came out in the early hours of the next day when everywhere was quiet just to meditate, not too long after he came out he began hearing some people discussion just outside the guest house.

3 men in black robes stood there discussing, there was no way he could see their faces in the dark but they sounded like they were making plans against the royal family.

"l heard that Prince Hedy will be moving out alone tomorrow morning, Gilbert our informant told me but all he knows is that the prince would be going with no guards so I think we should strike him instead of the king himself, if we succeed the king won't be able to survive it then he will be off the track as well." the first man said.

Gilbert is one of the palace guards who has been paid to spy and give out information on the movements of the royal family.

" That will would have been nice but what if the king survives the shock? he will still be sitting on the throne which is our main target."

the second man added.

The third man didn't waste Time in adding his own suggestion saying "first I think we have to be very careful in whatever plan we choose to go with first. The king is a very brave and strong man it won't be easy to take him down, we can attack him by taking down his only son left this way he will become weak and easy to take down.We all know his first son Walter is not alive anymore, for too long nothing has been heard of him", whatever we do we need to act fast, let us kill Prince Hedy first then we will know how to handle the king himself, he concluded.

"Then let our boys move fast they should be waiting for him before he arrives, he will be going through Tabor forest so we can just kill him there near the boundry," the first man explained...

" Okay then let's do this, we must hurry to get the boys ready for the job, the third man said as they left.

Hearing this Master Egon knew there was a problem and he needed to do something very fast. without been told he knew a plot against king Erikson and his son Hedy was about to be carried out and he had to do something to stop it.

He went inside the room to and waited till day break before he woke Walter up..

"Walter wakeup!!!" he called on him..

"there is something I need to let you know" he said with seriousness and worry written all over him

" Master what is the problem, you look worried, Walter asked filled with panic

For Master Egon to be like this it must be something very serious.

"Walter your father and brother are in trouble we have to do something to save their lives" he said leaving him in confusion.

Walter wondered how he got to know of such then decided to ask him...." Master what do you mean by my father and brother are in trouble,how did you know"

Master Egon having seen the confusion and frustration on Walter's face decided to let the cat out of the bag.

"My boy he said" you have just 3months to the completion of your training, then you will return to your home land. I have seen how much you have Learnt and how you long to see where you come from that I decided to do this before you finish your training. I brought you here so you will see and experience somethings and how life is here...This is Tolaria your kingdom, this is where you come from. I was going to tell you later but I think we need to attend to a more urgent matter right now.

Walter seem even more confused hearing all his master has said, he became clueless how to react to the news.

"Just about 5 hours ago Master Egon continued, I saw and also heard some men discussing on how to kill you father and brother,I don't know who they are but I know they want to attack and kill your brother prince Hedy tomorrow. I remember tomorrow is one of the days he visits you at the caves and so he moves with no guards".

" Never!!!, Not when am still alive " Walter thundered in anger
