The long lost princess

The room went unbearably silent for few seconds, everyone's eyes were on the ice queen waiting for a confirmation of Lord Micka's words, it is true that they were all caught by surprise when she told them about the Gods plan, even Eren was surprised, for the Gods to abandon their live stocks and send them all to massacre, and even use the humans as a scapegoat, that was too evil even for him, nonetheless, it was not an easy task in any way to simply recreate another race for the Gods to maintain their lifestyle, it was indeed a risky plan for all, to win it all or lose it all

Furthermore, the creation energy was at it weakest in the edges of the world, here was the land of the dark energy, the black magic, it made perfect sense that the Gods would tempt them to leave their strongholds where the creation energy could do them the minimum harm and instead, drag them out to a war with the humans in the human lands and then exterminate them both, that will assure the Gods both time and location, it was the perfect plan, but than a question hit his head out of the blue

"My lady, if i may ask" Eren finally broke the silence " How did you know about all this ? "

Rima sighed, she was expecting such an annoying question, at least they believed her, she thought to herself...

"All i can say for now lord Eren, is that i have a secret informer, rest assured though, these information are quite certain, the danger is real... "

"So are you really suggesting that we join forces with them? " Lord Micka asked again, something playing in the back of his mind

"I am not suggesting anything my lord, i am sharing the information i acquired with you, but if you want my personal opinion, i do believe that it is our best chance to win , unless we have a way to avoid the humans and strike the center directly "

" There is no such a way" said Mr Renaldy, his words were unquestionable because he knew the lands better than anyone else in the room...

"We better start thinking of a way to convince the humans then" everyone was surprised hearing the man who looked like a corps speak for the first time..

"This is ridiculous, join forces with those who betrayed us" Eren said with a slightly angered tone, after all, it was him who suffered the most by the humans...

"The humans were never our enemies, us and them... we were more like blind starving children who were forced to fight each other to survive, we were so busy with each other we forgot who blinded us and starved us in the first place" the room was silent again, Mr. Joseph surely didn't talk much but when he did he would hit the bull's-eye directly..

"I think i can at least propose it to them" Rima said, making the room even more curious about her, " I hope you already obtained the blood Lord Eren, every single minute counts"

"Tonight" was Eren's answer...

"Than i guess we all start moving than, we all have urgent matters to do, we will stay in touch " and with that, the meeting finally came to an end, both Rima and Micka left directly after discussing few strategies and having an early dinner, by dusk, the shadows mansion was finally quite, and all the guest's were gone, including the one who was supposed to be a prisoner...

************

"Your Majesty, our forces are ready to move, shall i give the order?" The major general of Taghit's forces , Sir Dorian Gray, reported back to Henry, who was now in his study thinking...

"Not yet, we need a confirmation though , stay ready and alarmed though, and keep our borders quite secured, it is a war where we can't trust anyone... " Henry sighed, feeling exhausted from the over work he had to do over the past few days, who knew things would turn this way...

"Your Majesty, about the secret mission you have given us..."

"That one cannot be delayed, we need to strike tonight "

"We? your Grace are you joining the mission? "

"I have to, Nicholas is going to be there and i need to personally convince him, otherwise this mission would fail"

"That is right, no one dares to attack the prince after all... "

"To think that my little brother was so brain washed by those old scums, how did this happen? " a deep frown appeared on Henry's handsome face, not only he had to fight his enemies but also his family members...

"Do you want me to join the mission? " asked the major general

"No i need you here, you must finish the preparations and keep my sister safe, and... " Henry halted for a second...

"Is that guest coming tonight my king? "

"Yes indeed, with the confirmation we need"

"Do you trust her? after all she is one of them" Sir Dorian was not able to hide his suspicions

"I don't know, but we are in this together, and we both want the same thing, so i must trust her for now... " Henry answered, he himself not sure of the answer he gave, there was something more, something he couldn't point out clearly...

"What is it that you both want your Grace " Sir Dorian was one of Henry's mentors, he watched the boy grow in front of his eyes, therefore, he spoke to him with a tone full of concern, a parental concern...

"Peace... " Henry answered truthfully, looking at the ceiling of his study..

"And how about the other kings and lords, convincing them will not be easy"
