Chapter 68:Situation in Kovir and Povis 2/2

Albert appeared on one of the roofs that were close to the central square to hear about the news that are going to be announced today.

Appearing right there under the thousands of voices that were coming from the crowd all around, Albert took a seat on the edge of the roof and looked towards the area surrounded by the soldiers that were making a line.

It took about 30 minutes before the crowd stopped growing and slowly, but surely, everyone was settling in their places.

Before long, a man wearing a long cape engraved with gold, with his fingers full of rings made of expensive diamonds and gold. He looked neither young nor old but was quite fat compared to the rest of the people. By the raw looks, you could assume that he is living a wealthy life.

Soon, the crowd was asked for silence.

The man walked towards the centre of the wooden platform made in the middle to make it possible for everyone to see him.

"Morning citizens of the great country of Kovir and Povis! I know that all of you might question yourself about why I am, and who I am. Sadly enough, I'm here not to give you a good piece of news." said the man in the centre of the square with a sad expression on his face with his shoulders dropped down.

The crowd held their breath in worry about the news that was going to be shared tonight.

"First of all, I want to express my eternal gratitude and respect towards our old king, Estril Thyssen. He was a good friend of mine and I can't express the amount of sorrow I had to go through and the amount of courage I had to gather to speak in front of all of you.

But let me tell you one thing, I know for a fact that my friend valued his people a lot and no matter how bad I'm feeling at the moment, I must speak to dear citizens of this country as Estril would do.

He was a great man and a great king, but even his time has come to an end. Let's take a minute of silence to appreciate all the things that he had done and gone through to leave this country stronger and better than before. "

The man looked at the floor with his eyelids closed. After some time has passed, he once again spoke.

"Now I want to introduce myself to all of you. My name is Rhyd of Povis. I was a trustworthy friend of your king, one that took care of managing the politics in Povis. I want to say that I will take the mantle of my great friend from today onward to lead this country into its golden age."

Suddenly the crowd went crazy shouting the name of the prince Baldwin.

"What about Prince Baldwin? He should be the one to take the throne!"

"Prince Baldwin is the only successor for the throne of this country!"

The crowd made it impossible for Rhyd to speak.

But it didn't last for long before the sounds died down when the soldiers all around started to calm down the crowd with their weapons.

"Silence!" shouted Rhyd with an angry expression, while also thinking, "Stupid animals"

"I know that I had a lot of bad news to say to you, but I think all of you need to know them. Prince Baldwin went on the rally against a Giant in the Tiona Valley. I'm sad to say that, but the rally failed. This is a saddening piece of news, but I got a report saying that Sorcerer Francesca Findabair and Witcher with the name August, or as some people call him, Red Demon of Ellander."

The crowd showed an expression of fear at hearing the name of the red demon. There were a lot of rumours going around about this event. One witcher came into the city and killed innocent people that lived in the Ellander, right next to the temple of the Melietele. He butchered kids and women while they were peacefully sleeping in their beds, before setting an entire city on fire, leaving it to burn to ashes like a demon claiming lives left and right.

"Witcher and a sorcerer joined their hands and decided to kill the prince. I had to send my brave soldiers to help the prince escape and in the process of doing so, all of my loyal men, but one died. One was able to escape from this hell along with Prince. As far as I know, prince Baldwin went crazy after living through a lot of stress and bloody events and could no longer sustain his psychological stability. Right now, he is not capable of speaking or moving, but I can promise you that I take care of his health to the best of my abilities. "

His speech was once again interrupted by the sound of kids' shouts that came from one of the corners of the crowd. There stood the kids that came from the orphanage.

"Liar" shouted some kids.

One boy was much more eager than the others, it was Selost "Dirty liar! Prince Baldwin will return and take the mantle of the King and rule over the lands in Kovir and Povis."

Rhyd looked toward the kids as his face changed for a fraction of a second, showing disgust and hate. Calling for a soldier, Rhyd whispered something in his ear and waited until the sound of the kids disappeared.

Rhyd continued to speak, informing his citizens about the news that was not pleasant, either. In fact, the news was a pure disaster.

Because of the death of the king and Prince Baldwin not making his appearance, some of the regions that were before under the jurisdiction of the Kovir and Povis decided to go for independent countries.

As a result of such an act following countries were formed: Narok, Velhad, Talgar, Creyden, Malleore, Caingorn, Cringfrid, and Barefield. All of them were located either on the East side or on the North-East side.

However, all of their rulers were fast enough to join hands, not to appear as a weak country. They formed an alliance between all of their territory, forming the 'Hengfors League'.

Albert heard enough about the current situation in the lands and decided to pay a last visit to the orphanage before leaving back to the temple. He knew that the rest of the talk will be just empty words that were just to attract attention, not to make an accurate announcement.

Albert appeared next to the Orphanage where he was before and saw that the doors were shut. Making his way inside the room in which he talked to Rami, Albert looked outside of the door, looking around and spotting several guards with strict eyes looking at the kids that were cornered against the wall.

He didn't hear any scream and thought that for now, it was alright to observe. Before long, the soldier walked out of the room that was not too far and dragged inside one of the older girls that lived in the orphanage.

It was enough for Albert to understand the situation and as soon as the soldier disappeared behind the doors; he teleported behind one guard and placed his hand on his shoulder, sending him into the swamp that he encountered while travelling. It was an exceptional place since it was home to a lot of exotic beasts.

Doing exactly the same to the rest of the soldiers, he walked inside of the room where the soldier stood with his pants down, while the girl was undressed with nothing covering her body. But the act itself didn't start.

Without a hint of hesitation, Albert cut soldiers' balls and shortened his penis to the minimal size.

*Agh* soldier dropped to the ground while holding his bleeding instrument in his hands.

While this was happening, the girl had a panic on her face, covering her tiny body with her small palms while also having some tears in her eyes.

Albert looked in the room's corner and saw Rami laying there without consciousness.

With a quick glance at the girl, he said, "Dress up and walk out of here"

The girl just nodded her head, leaving as quickly as possible.

Albert showed a smile that could put some of the scariest smiles to shame and, lifting the soldier's chin and looking in his eyes, he said: "Do you have anything to tell me?"
