Chapter 17.2: Grudge

Estann POV

I left to town to ease off my mind. I had enough of being the "good son". I went to an inn and stayed there . Now, I truly realize that I need power to get what I want, favors that I want, attention that I truly need. Then there was a messenger bird landed in the window sills. It said..

"Descendant of Kazimel, Son of Vard, If you truly want to accomplish power and love meet me at this place"

After a few hours I followed the message. When I arrived I saw eerily creepy men who wore hoods and looked dangerous. I slowly let my horse walk near them as i point my sword at them.

"Nephew, there is no need of that. All I want is to talk to you"

"I know who you are and I am not afraid to use this sword of mine"

"I promise you, all i want is to talk to you about the plan on how you will gain both power and love "

I looked at him, truthfully i was interested given on the situation I am now. I rode down my horse and walked towards Sou and his son. He smiled and offered me a chair. It was uncomfortable because of his men surrounding us. I looked at them and saw their eyes. Violet just like the dark of night. I knew right away who they were.

"What are you doing with the men of Tyros?"

"Specifically, these are illegitimate sons of all direct descendants of Tyros"

Illegitimate sons? this many? how? I gulped and scratched my head because of the confusion. It cant be really?

"And you know that white knight your princess have? He is also the illegitimate son. Oh wait, DIRECT descendant of Monoren."

Erden? a descendant of Tyros? This is news to me. I was shocked that I had cold sweat on my forehead. I wiped it off and Sou chuckled.

"You, Son of Vard direct descendant of Kazimel. I want to offer you power in exchange of helping us in letting our enemies pay"

This plan, everything that is happening. A one time opportunity towards my goal. I can't let this slide even though this is treason.

"What is it you have in mind Uncle?"

Looking back, Ariadna's rejection pains me but this is just a beginning of their suffering and I have never felt so alive about it.
