All of a sudden, the two servents who were standing like a statue, started to yell. "Assassin's, Assassin's..... Raise the Alarm, raise the Alarm....." And then looked around in confusion.
When they saw the king, they went on to their knee. My king there are Assassin's in the castle, we were about to raise the alarm.
The king smiled and went forward and patted on their shoulders. Raise, you two. Don't worry everything was taken care off.
They then heard the bell ringing outside the castle. At the inner city gates and at the royal palace entrance.
"Excellent, I think the spell is broken. I believe Ben had captured their leader alive. If not, all thoses who were being controlled would have suffered a serious consequences." Alan noted.
"How can you say it's Ben? It might be others?" Helen asked.
"No grandma, It's him. That jerk has the strongest willpower and self control after Alan. Besides, this was not the first time he had captured one of them." Chris said with confidence.
After a few minutes all the Alarm went silent. Footstep were heard coming towards them. "Its them. I think everything were taken care off." Alan said, and they all saw Harry looking bored and sulking walking infront, followed by Bob and Ben wlaking behind him drenched in blood, looking smug and dragging a few unconscious forms behind them.
"How many?" Williams asked with a wry smile.
7 - Harry made a bitter face.
501 - Bob smiled and looked at Ben.
519 - Ben grinned back at Bob. "I win."
"Hold on to your horses guys. Mine is 962." Williams grinned in Triumph.
"He also is a hero in the eyes of all those who were at the entrance. Bloody fool, didn't even gave me a chance to fight." Harry started to sulk again.
What's happening? What are those numbers you are talking about? The Queen asked in confusion.
" It's the number of enemy soldiers we took down Maaya. There were around 2000 soldiers infiltrating the Royal palace and the inner city. " Harry shrugged.
"What!!!!! Everyone were in shock. You guys took down more than 500 soldiers each?" Maaya asked in awe.
They all noded. "And we captured the Nine mind control mages also." Ben jutted his thumb over his shoulder.
"Did anyone escaped Ben?" Alan asked.
"Nope, these basterds were so confident about their scheme that everyone strutted in like they were entering their own house." Ben informed.
"Once they saw me they simply got down their knee and surrenderd. Bastards even fell unconscious, Al. They didn't even tried to attack my mind, man. It was so frustrating." Ben looked disappointed.
"How can you look disappointed for not being attacked?" Bella spoker her thoughts out loud.
"Ha ha ha.... Bel, once at the valley of death we faced these people and during the face off, Al and Ben obliterated two of their most powerful mind control mages who were considered a deity in their clan. Once they were defeated they bowed down to us and surrenderd."
" After that, all the remaining four of us and Master Harry put ourself under mind control test. We asked them to breach our mind and they tried and tried and tried. They faild to do so even when all their mages tried at once to breach at once. I mean even when they all tried to breach one among us. "
I believe that's the reason they surrenderd to Ben as soon as they saw him. His Deity." Alan and others started to laugh at this.
"We are so lucky to have you all here tonight lads, If not I can't even imagin the outcome." The king shuddered visibly. The queen went to Ben, Bob, Chris, Alan and Williams and hugged each of them and thanked them.
"Dave why are you looking so sour?" Williams looked at Dave and smiled smugly. Don't smile you bast... Ahm .... Ahm .... You jerk. You guys made me a dummy and now received appreciation from the queen. Won't I feel sad?"
He made such a puppy face that all the girls there started laughing including the adults.
Is that all, here you go, Bella went to Dave and hugged him. "Thank you Dave, our great hero. We owe you this gratitude."
Dave was surprised for a moment then hugged her back smiling and looked at Williams with a triumphant look. Harry started to laugh uncontrollably.
"Williams lad, Dave got the upper hand this time."
William looked at Lilly and others and winked. "Oh great savior, Dave we also want to appreciate and show our gratitude." Lilly first hugged Dave, then Rose. As Dave started to feel smug, all the men in the room started to hug him. Bringing all his high flying enthusiasm down to earth. Making the ladies laugh uncontrollably.
The prisoners stired and the room fell into a dead silence.
"Well, how are you my friends." Alan smiled, when they all sat up from their stooper.
"Lord Alan, Lord Benjamin please forgive us. We didn't knew This is your home. We would never had accepted any job if it had something to do with you." A middle aged man knee towed to them while crying.
"Stop your antiques. Get up all of you. Who gave you this job?" Ben looked sternly at the man and demanded.
