“Captain Kaezar's military barracks have been attacked, Your Majesty.”
The report from the young Knight named Kaelus managed to make the King who was enjoying a lunch meal choke just like that.
“Try me again, Kaelus.”
“The military barracks belonging to the troops led by Captain Kaezar last night have been attacked, Your Majesty. I just got the information.”
The knight named Kaelus again said, this time more details related to the report that he must immediately convey to King Robelia. Information he just received.
“Who did it? Are the troops from the opposite region?” the king was enjoying a lunch of roasted red meat served with mushroom sauce, served with vegetables such as asparagus that has been cooked with a little olive oil and garlic chop.
“Not yet to be ascertained, Your Highness.” Kaelus replied after taking a small breath. “When this information reached the palace, the conditions in the branch military barracks were still chaotic balau.”
The Robelia king chose silence and listened, continuing his delayed lunch session. “Then, what about the condition... The bastard child? isn't he very passionate about conquering the region across the border?”
“That is the crux of the problem listed in the information I got, Your Highness.”
“You mean?”
“Captain Kaezar disappeared, Your Highness.”
Hearing the information, the Robelia King laughed. “Disappeared? That's right, Kaelus. You forgot who we were talking about? The Imperial Young Eagle. How could he just disappear.”
“I'm not kidding, let alone lying, Your Majesty,” Kaelus said. The look on his face showed seriousness. “Captain Kaezar did disappear after an attack on a branch military barracks, the place where Captain Kaezar is located.”
The King's laughter disappeared, replaced with a serious look. Both of his hands were holding a cutlery and a knife, now put the two objects made of precious metal. Put it on a plate. “How can it?” tanyanya. “I didn't know the bastard for a day or two. It was not without reason that he was also dubbed as the Imperial Young Eagle. How could it be because of an impromptu attack, he just disappeared.”
“I didn't believe it at first either, Your Majesty. However, the informant who came with this information said that; true, if Captain Kaezar disappeared after a large explosion centered on the military barracks section they were used as an armory.”
“…”
“There is a possibility that Captain Kaezar has been kidnapped or taken hostage,” Kaelus added.
Kaizen who had been silent immediately hit the table, until some objects on the table fell scattered to the floor. “Who dares kidnap the Empire's Young Eagle?!”
Kaelus shook his head. From his view, the King did hate the Imperial Young Eagle, as a half-sister born from the womb of another woman of his father. However, the King never liked it if anyone bullied or hurt the Imperial Young Eagle, other than him.
As an older brother, King Robelia had a dominant attitude that would not lose, succumb, or be defeated. Basically, a child who was originally born as an only child, then without the cue of getting a new sister, must arise jealousy because of that unpreparedness. Jealousy will not get worse if overcome early on by the adults around him.
In the case of Kaizen and Kaezar, the selfishness of the adults affected both. If only the adults around them behaved like adults, surely the brotherly relationship between them would not be like today. Given that the previous King Robelia as a father had tried his best not to distinguish his two sons, but the environment around him had contaminated the mind of one of his sons.
“Good, Your Highness.”
After getting the task, Kaelus immediately resigned. Leaving the restrained King uneasy in his room. The appetite to spend the luncheon had already evaporated just like that, after hearing the information brought from the border.
“Basic sloppy,” murmured. “And he acted as if he would soon conquer the territory across the border, so as to get out of the palace and renounce his royal title. How could he possibly just disappear?”
The King, Kaizen Alexander Kadheston did not believe that his half-brother was easily defeated. There must have been a huge conspiracy that had targeted the owner of the title of Young Eagle of the Empire. Otherwise, how could a young Captain who was a famous genius could easily be bent by the enemy. Moreover, it was not clear who had attacked the military barracks belonging to the Imperial Young Eagle all of a sudden.
“Ah, make head giddy only.”
Kaizen muttered slightly as she leaned back against the back of the chair. The problems of Katarina and Klautviz de Mere have not yet gained a bright spot, now he has a new source of headaches. Khayansar de Pexley gave only a week's deadline to decide the punishment for Katarina and Klautviz de Mere, then resolve the issue of defamation of the former Queen.
The problem is, until now he has not been able to determine the choice related to the punishment that is suitable for both. The first reason Kaizen hesitated to punish Katarina was the lack of evidence regarding the allegations made against her concubine. Even if Katarina had tried to kill Kayena, Kaizen would not have forgiven her sin. However, Katarina is currently the only pawn she has. The pawns who also had quite stable support among the nobles.
While the second reason that makes it unable to impose punishment for Klautviz de Mere, because of the blood agreement between Klautviz de Mere with the previous King Robelia. At that time, Kaizen witnessed the procession of the agreement itself. The content of the agreement includes several points of agreement, the, among them is the promise of Klautviz de Mere who will not disturb the throne of King Robeli which is only intended for direct descendants of the previous King of— referred to in the agreement is Kaizen and Kaezar. Later, if one of the descendants of the previous King succeeds the throne, they still have to give the rights of their uncle, Klautviz de Mere as heir to the throne to so many. However, the right is not to be passed down to his descendants.
Klautviz de Mere himself asked for freedom for his actions that might be contrary to the nobles. Just as the previous King asked his descendants not to be carelessly touched (disturbed) by Klautviz de Mere, the forgotten heir to the throne also asked if he was given the freedom to enter and exit Robelia, as well as the freedom to use the title of nobility at any time. Plus the guarantee that the successor to King Robelia did not get rid of him just like that.
“If you used to not make a blood covenant, then I have given the punishment that is appropriate for uncle,” Inner Kaizen.
Besides being protected by the blood covenant, Klautviz de Mere also helped him ascend the throne, then helped him make Catherine as Grand Consort who was accepted by the nobility. Klautviz de Mere helped him, even through the back. The man never appeared, but his feet, hands, and eyes were everywhere.
“Uncle may have been a big contribution, but his carelessness in killing eyewitnesses at a hearing held by the High Court has caused many problems, ranging from the anger of Khayansar, to triggering a crisis of popular confidence.”
While kneading the temple, Kaizen tries to find the best way to escape Khayansar's pressure. With the record he did not lose a pawn, as well as his position remained safe.
“The only way to satisfy Khayansar is to fulfill her wish. The safest way is to scapegoat Uncle Klautviz or sacrifice Katarina.”
There was a considerable pause taken by the Robelia King, before a thin grin appeared and adorned his lips. “What if I try both?” mumbles. “Umpan is one of them, then sacrifice the other.”
