The Young King's Great Ambition
Chapter 1: The Golden Opportunity Behind Conspiracy
The morning atmosphere in the capital was peaceful, two days ago the king called all the royal members and nobles to the palace throne room, and this time they were all held, all of them held,Fermund, of course, the royal family had been in the throne room from earlier with his two sisters Felis and Feona, the three of whom stood on the left side of the throne of the king and queen, respectively,and on his right side was his foolish and oppressive cousin,
Fermund was not surprised that he was his mother's son who was similarly shameless, for seizing his throne under excuses and unreasonable reasons, and he planned not to speak at the meeting.
On the right side of the throne room were the royal general, the minister and the head of the royal magician, and on the other side were three royal border protector dukes, while the other nobles lined up on the left right side of the throne room.
The meeting began, as the king will start talking, his mother will deliver bad news that surely everyone knows, he said,
"You already know that I know bad news from duke Norford in the north"
All of them who were in the room suddenly became tense about the news that duke Nordford had delivered, and their bad premonition of something in the north became real
"our enemies of the northern kingdom of Valmurg are again launching a major offensive against us, I'm afraid their forces are bigger than last year's forces,"
The nobles looked uneasy, and their gaze was immediately fixed on the 3 dukes, they were hoping that the three dukes, especially duke Nordford, would stop them again as they had done a year ago
"it looks like we have to rely on 3 more dukes" the nobles said
"Duke Nordford is facing his majesty, I want to say something"
The duke who controlled the northern border advanced to face the king, the duke was aware that he who always dispelled the attacks of the arch-enemy of the kingdom, he always survived in the fortress or did frontal attacks for days.
"King, since I've always held them back, then I will return to the task, but this time give me help"
The king said, "I am King Claudis, listen to me!!"
Everyone bowed down and accepted the king's word, they really had to obey his word, otherwise there would be a big problem, the king would make it difficult for them.
"Immediately send 4500 heavy infantry troops and include 200 Hirenpike corps to the border, the army will be led by the duke to repel enemy attacks"
The king ended the meeting, and the nobles left the palace and went home, some of the nobles who owned the territory immediately fortified their territory.
Fermund and his two sisters left the room without turning away, walking with a smile, muttering something "this is going to be so easy"
Both sisters understood her brother's murmur and they both held his brother's hand and they both chuckled.
Meanwhile, the royal forces in the capital were immediately dispatched, he said,they exited the capital's gates and marched with a large march to the north led by the duke of Nordford and one of the corps commanders of the elite Hirepike spearmen's forces.
Troops patrolling the outer wall of the capital saw the troop departing from a distance, the force making its way north into the enemy's border region to fight.
Afterwards, Hermund went to his mansion and called out to all his confidants, they gathered in Fermund's private room, seven people came and sat on the sofa and started talking about a plan
