The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 25 THE PLAN OF REBELLION OF FOUR OFFICIALS
Two small figures flashed very quickly like the ghost of a wandering night. The darkness of the night was no barrier to their small body figure that continued to flutter down the slopes of Kanaya Hill. The cold of the night plus the thick fog had no effect on them.
Approximately one time rice penanakan two small figures have been down the foot of Kanaya Hill. But only a few spears of their bodies flashed, instantly a long-clothed figure of dark red streaked. Automatic figure dressed succinctly blue color join also.
Soon a small figure in blue clothes looked at his friend who was next to him. His eyes seemed to ask why he stopped suddenly?
Then a small figure in red clothes pointed with his right index finger to a large tree not far beside them. The signal was as an invitation to his friend to let them climb the big tree.
Without waiting for his comrade's approval, a figure in red immediately shot up to the tree he had pointed at earlier. Without stopping, she instantly bounced beautifully onto the tree. His feet pegged the branches twice and then perched on a branch that was quite high and quite large.
The figure in blue clothes, although it did not understand what his friend meant to follow him as well. He did the same until he got on the same branch as his friend.
"What's up, Dhafin?" asked the figure in blue clothes could not help his curiosity. "Kok suddenly doing this strange thing? Are you shitting away? Do you want to throw it out of the tree?"
"You prattle on, Brian," murmured a figure in red who turned out to be Young Master Dhafin. "Shut up! Put your ears on!"
The figure in blue clothes that turned out to be Prince Brian Darel immediately sharpened his ears to justify carefully what Dhafin meant. Or what has happened.
Just a few breaths sharpened his ears, he had already heard what Dhafin meant. He heard something stomping on the ground quickly and loudly. Like the sound of a horseshoe that numbered more than one.
"What do you hear?" dhafin asked as if testing Brian's hearing acuity.
"Like the sound of a horse's foot," Brian muttered as he gazed in one particular direction.
"How many?"
"I don't know exactly how much. More than one."
"I suspect so too. At least three or four people riding horses."
They were silent again hearing more closely where the horses were headed. But over time the sounds of the horse's legs were increasingly clearly pointing to their place.
"The horses are pointing here" whispered Brian.
Dhafin stared at Brian who was also staring at him. Then both looked in one direction beside them.
Although the state of nature is dark, but thanks to the sharpness of their eyesight that has been trained, they faintly see some dark figures are heading here.
Over time the dark figures became clearer. So it seemed, although a bit vague, four men who rode a horse rather fast.
And it's true what Brian suspected. The four horsemen headed to their place. As soon as a dozen more spears arrived at the large tree where Dhafin and Brian were nangkring, the pace of the four men's horses slowed somewhat. Because the path they went through now was quite unfriendly. Horse can pass but cannot be tight.
The longer the four horsemen get closer to the tree. It is becoming increasingly clear who they are. And it turns out they are....

"Three courtiers and Denver City Office....!" the two boys sizzle together.
The two boys immediately looked at each other with signs of surprise, not play. Three courtiers and Denver City Officials came to a remote forest like this and the nights again. What is their real purpose? Is doing a visit in the middle of a dark forest like this?
Then, the two boys also why could be in a remote place and nights like this?
The two boys had actually just come down from the top of Kanaya Hill, precisely from where Brian used to be alone. Because Dhafin forced the relaxed boy to return to the city even though it was not the time that Brian wanted.
Brian actually still wants to live in the sunyinya residence. The reception of the bodyguard candidates is still 12 days away. He wants to stay in 4 days to come down. But Dhafin forced him. If he doesn't come, he'll drag him. Brian was also forced to come.
Who would have thought on the way they met four officials. Suspicion instantly dominated their minds regarding the purpose of the four officials to this forest.
Not long after, the four officials had crossed the path under the tree where Brian and Dhafin were above. And the two boys were increasingly clear about who the three palace officials were. One of them is Office Keegen. The two were Trade Officers and Tax Affairs Officials.
Dhafin's suspicions of Officer Keegen being involved in the plot of the rebellion are getting stronger with the official's presence in this forest. Dhafin was almost certain that their destination of coming to such a remote place was definitely to have a secret meeting with someone.
The four officials continued to raise their horses despite passing through a tree that was used as a reconnaissance site for Dhafin and Brian. But once it was enough to keep a safe distance, Dhafin and Brian followed them from the top of the tree.
If the matter of science to lighten their bodies is no doubt. Jumping steadily from one tree to another is not an obstacle for them.
Shortly after, the four officials stopped in an open space. It seems like the place was used as a meeting place with someone who had not appeared there. Evidently, once down from the horse they immediately circulated the gaze in all directions like looking for someone.
After a long wait that was almost bored, immediately flashed from the top of a tree a black shadow figure. Because of the rapid movement of the black shadow figure, he knew he had stood not far from the four officials.
The appearance of the all-black figure that was so suddenly bright only made the four officials surprised instead of playing. Almost had their heart removed. In fact, they do not have any intelligence other than the intelligence and intelligence of their rotten brains.
From where Dhafin and Brian were hiding quite clearly saw the all-black figure that turned out to be a long-haired man. Behind his back was a sword with the skull's head.
On the left chest of the man was like a knit. As soon as they sharpened their eyes, they could see clearly knitted images of two swords crossed in white. Above the center there is also a knitted picture of the head of the skull red color.

"Why is it that every time you show up, it's always surprising, Vice Chairman Galen," Denver City Office quoted an annoyance.
"Go ahead, Chief Officer," said the all-black man who turned out to be Vice Chairman Galen in a cold tone, without caring about the Denver City Office charge. "Is King Darian Cashel dead?"
From its characteristics, Vice Chairman Galen turned out to be a group of assassins, precisely the Skull Sword Horde. And this Galen was his Vice-Chairman who was sent in contact with the officials of the treacherous Amerta Kingdom.
"There has been an unexpected change" the calm Keegen official said.
"Change what do you mean? Is he not dead?"
"Don't expect him to die" said the Keegen official in a cynical tone. "Now he's healed."
"No way!" rebut Waka Galen loudly.
"Huh! No way how?" cynical Trade Office grunting. "It really is. The strange poison you gave me cannot kill His Majesty."
"You need to know that there is no one in this world who controls the healing core energy" Waka Galen still insisted. "Frozen Corpse Poison was created without a cure...."
"...The poison could only be cured with two core energy forces," he continued, "heal core energy and heat core energy. The heat core energy is still there that dominates it in this age. While the healing core energy had been dead since hundreds of years ago...."
"...If there's still some mastery in this age, it doesn't make sense."
"I don't think you guys created destiny" said the official Keegen, smiling cynically. "In fact destiny makes the poison you are proud of useless."
"If it were not for a covenant between us and traitors like you," growled Waka Galen coldly, "I have killed you all tonight!"
Speech containing the threat immediately made the guts of the four officials shrivel. It is clear that this threat is not an empty threat.
They know who Waka Galen is. Their cruelty is known. If he says kill, it will happen. Hence they did not dare to play the cold man anymore.
They were actually still stricken with confusion because King Darian had not yet died. It's even healed now. Who was healing still disturbed their minds. It was as if the king's recovery addressed the failure of their many-year-old plan.
"I'm sorry for the disrespect of my friends, the Vice-Chairman," said the Tax Affairs Officer trying to temper Waka Galen's anger. "Collect, we are still upset and upset that the king has not yet died. I hope you can understand our current situation."
"What's your plan now?" ask Waka Galen directly.
"Now is not the time to play poison anymore" said the Tax Affairs Officer put forward a new plan. "When we play hard. We must kill the king in a rude manner. And make a move after that."
"Isn't the plan more precise" Waka Galen said in support. "You're better off killing your king. You guys get the throne quick, we get the money."
"Where are your troops now?" ask the Tax Office. This time he's the one who took over the speaking representative.
"15 miles southeast of here.," said Waka Galen without hesitation and suspicion.
Then they talked about the correct strategy in the plan to kill the king. They also talked about what might happen. When execution. If it changes what needs to be done.
They're talking about everything tonight. Because tonight's the last meeting at this place. Whereas what they had all planned was well recorded by the two boys. Even until they disbanded, the two boys had not yet realized his existence.
The four officials plotted to kill King Darian Cashel. But Dhafin and Brian instead plan to arrest the four traitor officials. Moreover, the plan was not difficult for them.
Yes, it is not difficult for Dhafin and Brian who already have a fairly high knowledge to bend four officials who have nothing but the ability to have a mouth that is only smart to talk.
