30 What a king must do.

Big news, Gerald said aloud still on the back of his horse.

This early morning? Williams replied looking up at him. Gerald had gone out yesterday to find out from information about Sebastian army.

I am sure it will come as a shock to you even your father, he said getting off from the horseback.

What?

Well it seems that while we slept, Sebastian and his army were at Zurich attacking your father's warriors there, he grinned.

It came as a shock but he didn't know if it was good news or bad news.

The people of Zurich we're getting freedom yes, but what a freedom. Sebastian was not that ideal ruler, what is the difference to being enslaved by another person and being enslaved by yourself.

What! He did that! Sebastian said.

I am sure your father must have also heard the news by now.

I can imagine his raging face not only that he is going to do something.

You sure?

I wasn't lying when I said my father had a bad temper and he made reckless decisions.

He tried to kill his own son, that is reckless enough, Gerald nodded.

What are you thinking? He asked Williams noticing he was barely listening to him.

Everything that could happen after this, Williams said.

Like a world war.

Ah, something like that, look, we need to go to Zurich.

Zurich? No.

Yes, Williams said going to get his cloak, he tied it around his chest and made to get his horse.

You are actually serious, Gerald said bewildered.

Yes, are you coming or not.

Williams you need to think twice about this, both Sebastian and your father are our enemies, we don't want to aid any of them.

We are not going to do any of that, this is a chance, an opportunity.

You think Sebastian is going to overpower your father? That is actually impossible.

I don't know, maybe, Even my father thought thinks that it is impossible that rebels could attack his warriors but it happened. Look, it would have taken a lot for them to pull this off, this can't happen ordinarily. They have a plan.

Gerald sighed, he was right, they we're unto something, if they successfully did this, he doubt that they didn't have something going.

Ok, but can't we go and inform the others, they need to know you.

That will take much time, we should go at once, we don't want to miss the party

..... ... ..... ... .... ... ... .....

Recovering Zurich would have been a comendable thing if she didn't know his real intentions.

He had forced his dreams on her the same way he was going to force it on them. How she wished, they knew what was coming.

She had thought he was beimg kind and generous when he wanted to help her escape milerus but no she was just part of the big plan, he only hated the king for enslaving her and not himself. He wanted to build her into the same person of her he had in his imaginations. The one with him but unfortunately she wasn't that, she was another person. Someone who fought oppression for the right reason. The reason to live, to exist.... To go back to her real home. Did he think he was doing her a favor by forcing his ideologies on her.

The incoming footsteps interrupted her thoughts, she was there I'm Zurich, it was the first time in a long time she was in a proper house.

My lady, one of the men said approaching her, we are here to see lord Sebastian.

He is not here, she blunted out, did they think she was his wife.

I am here... Sebastian said coming out of one of the room in the wide lair.

She hadn't notice him there, was he watching her, he came beside her holding her shoulders and kissing her left cheek. She shouldered, you should go rest now, he told her in a whisper.

No, she said to him, gazing at his face, he had a would which was now covered in bandage on his head probably from the intense fight earlier.

I want to stay here with you or am I not your lady anymore? She asked him. He smiled sheepishly and rocked her head.

Yes, what do you want? he finally asked the men leaving her side, turning to them.

The king and his army are coming here, one of them spoke, obviously their leader.

Really?, he said not showing any sign of alarm.

Yes, we saw them ourselves they should be here in about forty minutes.

That was first, you know what to do, I will soon join you.

They nodded and left.

He turned to a confused Natalie.

Her eyes we're twitching, she felt like they we're speaking some ancient language that meant something else.

Natalie, my dear I will have to leave you now, stay here okay, he said to her.

What! did you heard what they say, the king and his army are here, that is disastrous.

You are right, disastrous for him, he doesn't know what I have in store for him. she wanted to speak again but he hugged her.

Then he left.

.... ..... ... .... ... ....

If you like your life, surrender now, the king's chief warrior announced to him.

Surrender, I have gone this far for me to do that, moreover you don't scare me nor that your feeble king too, he told him.

The chief warrior looked at him in disbelieve, he was bragging, there had brought their whole army here on the king orders and he wasn't scared.

Sebastian and his army we're at his back,he was going to lead them and also unveil his plans.

If you surrender, we will spare you and forget about this, he told Sebastian not knowing his plans.

You think I am a fool, if I surrender you are going to kill me...

Of course, the king said appearing from the crowd of armed men. What do you think? That I was going to spare after all this. You are going to die either ways.

He growled at him.

Sebastian grinned, this was going to be interesting, he made a signal and another army came out from their hiding place surrounding them.

He watched the face of the king turn to a frown immediately.

What is this? The king said panicking.

Just my other guests and guess what they have been waiting for a long time to do this.

He had invited some other rebels and made plans with them, that wasn't difficult as the king and his family had made many enemies throughout the years, he only delivered him into their hands.

The fight was severe, several of the kings warriors lay dead, some injured. When the king saw that they we're overcoming him, he ran off trying to escape.

Sebastian followed him, this was his moment, he was not going to miss it.

The king cheif warrior was with him, he saw him and charged at him, their swords clashing, they growled at each other. He fell down and his sword was fell off from his hands down above his reach, he was unarmed. The king laughed, you imbecile, you think you can go scout free. The chief warrior took Sebastian from the ground and held his neck putting the sword there too menacingly.

Your men are dead, you have nothing now.

Well I will be more than glad to kill you and about the men, forget it, I will get others, I will continue to enslave your people like I have been doing, like my father... He killed your family and now I will do the same to you, you know they say, you can't run from your destiny.

As the king charged to stab him then he saw his son.

Williams, you are here? He said.

Father, Williams said standing there looking at them, this is what you want right. Enslaving people, this is what....

Look son, forget all this, I will kill this miscreant and we will go home, the king said approaching him.

I am not here to tell you to let go of this people, he told the king.

What! I can't do that, Sebastian here tried to kill me, he is a threat to the kingdom amd must be eliminated.

Like you did to his mother, Sebastian scoffed, he pushed the chief warrior away from him as he held his chest, coughing. He was almost strangled, the chief warrior lay on the floor groaning, he had broken his leg from the push but no one bothered about him.

What! What are you talking about, Williams said to Sebastian facing him.

You idiot, the king snapped, what are you saying? He jumped to stabbed him with the sword.

But Williams held his hands, the king turned to Williams, his eyes red with anger.

Is this true, you killed my mother.

What! You believe this rogue, you know your mother died...

From a fall, he pushed her, I saw it that night,Sebastian said aloud, he didn't have to kill the king, his son could help.

Williams head was spinning, he had not expected anything like this.

And why should I believe you? He asked Sebastian, pain in his voice.

I have nothing to lose now but both of us have lost people dear to us in the past and you know who did it, your father. I can't make this up, you can see the guilt all over his face, just tell him why you did it, your majesty, he said grinning at the king. You think someone who is capable of killing your mother can not do the same to you.

Stop, just end this nonsense now, the king said to Williams, son, don't believe this silly thing he is saying, he is just manipulating you.

Did you kill my mother?

Williams.

Answer me, did you kill her.

All I have done, was for our kingdom, our family.

Damn that, father, damn that, Damn the kingdom, you can lose your family because of your kingdom.

We don't mean any thing to you, my mother didn't mean anything to you.

I loved your mother, Williams, I loved you. He said. You can't let him get in between that.

Why did you do it, he said raising his sword to the king face. Gerald came in and held Sebastian who wanted to leave there.

The king was started, he hadn't believe that the prince could raise a sword against him.

What are you doing? He said terrified.

Answer me?

She... She threatened to leave with you, sge told me, you are not my son. My real son.

Yes, Williams, you are not my son.

What!
