271. Two Brothers & Blood

The bells rang all over the city as a menacing announcement of what had transpired inside the walls no commoner could see. They rang ten times at once.

But the streets of River City were full of cheering crowds as they partied, ate and drank. It was the last day of the celebrations, after all. So everyone was drinking and eating more than usual.

Not to mention, nobody gave a damn about king Riveria since the man was too old and rarely showed his face outside. The last time people saw him was two years ago, so most people didn't even know if their king was alive. 

"Move!" 

"Get out of the way!" 

But opposing the cheers, the loud footsteps of a marching army were echoing in the city. Duke Conrad and his brother had arrived and were in the process of taking over the city. They had decided not to leave any chance where the council members could place a puppet king and announce him.
