Chapter 13 Plans
A minute later…
Sebastian brought up two people I mentioned with Katherine guiding those two back.
"Zylex, Selvia introduce yourselves to His Majesty, the Emperor." Katherine instructed, congratulating them as usual.
Brief silence filled the atmosphere.
Then a response came in.
"Hi, I'm Zylex." the boy said, bowing down to me.
"I'm Selvia." the girl said, also bowing down to me.
The atmosphere felt kind of awkward to me as they were not so reactive.
Well it might be better that way.
"Let's go." I said to them.
I left the orphanage with the rest following behind.
Cool air rushed in me as the SUV opened.
I got in first as always, with the rest coming after me.
1 hour later…
The SUV came to a stop.
We all stepped outside and I ordered Sebastian "Go help them find their place."
"Of course, Your Majesty." Sebastian nodded at me.

Allied Nations War Council, Fort Ceris
The air in the war room was thick with smoke and tension.
"I told you! You can't trust these damn bastards doing their job right!" Frenreich yelled angrily.
"Calm down, General Frenreich." Mikael replied.
SLAM. Thud. The table shook violently.
"General Mikael, can't you see what these trash have done!?" Freinreich asked.
"I know… What they've done" Mikael said coldly.
The rest of the major generals froze as Mikael's gaze met them.
"A fitting punishment is the best for them…
Aren't I right General Freinreich?" Mikael exclaimed playfully.
"That's right, these trash deserve a punishment!" Freinreich nodded in approval.
"G-General, can't you reconsider?" a major general said, begging to his knees.
"Yes that's right general…Please reconsider." another major general replied.
"Why should I?" Mikael questioned them.
"…"
The major generals were left speechless seeing as there was no hope.
That was until Mikael said something. "I can reconsider it if you follow my orders"
"Mikael why…?" Freinreich asked.
Mikael stood up coming to Freinreich's seat before whispering something.
"W–what are they talking about?" a major general murmured, gritting his teeth.
"Why would I know?" another major general replied, annoyed by the question.
"Freinreich–…" Mikael continued to whisper with Freinreich.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Silence filled most of the room that Mikael's steps could be heard.
As Mikael slowly made his way to his seat–suddenly.
SLAM! Mikael's hand hit the table shaking it again.
The tensions were already high but this time it rose dramatically.
"Hieek!" a major general tripped frantically.
Mikael's hand slowly rose pointing at the direction of the major generals.
"You there." Mikael's hand pointed.
"M–me?" a major general asked nervously.
"Not you but–the one next to you." Mikael replied.
"Ye–yes?" the major general said, his body shaking from fear.
"Yes–you and come here." Mikael lips grinned secretly.
Gulp. The man gulped as he made his way.
"Wh–what is it…?" The man's voice trembled.
"Lick my shoes." Mikael smirked as he said that.
"Why–?" The man's voice cracked.
"Just do it." Mikael commanded.
The man got to his knees down, about to do it.
Kick.
"Aughh…" The man groaned.
"Why?" The man exclaimed.
Kick.
Mikael kicked again, his eyes void of emotion as he glanced around at the man.
"Uaghh" The man moaned, the pain reverberating around his body.
"I think that's enough Mikael." Freinreich commented.
"Why? Didn't you want a punishment for these bastards?" Mikael asked, his eyes fixated on Freinreich.
Freinreich's gazed met the man, feeling it was too much.
"Ahem.." Freinreich cleared his throat as he looked back at Mikael.
"Just tell them the order." Freinreich stated.
"Fine." Mikael replied.
"What a coward" Mikael whispered in annoyance.
Mikael looked back at the man, his lips about to say something.
"You and the rest of the major generals will infiltrate as spies for the Empire and report every movement you see okay? Failure is not an option." Mikael declared, his voice resolute.
"Yes general..!" the rest of them answered back in unison.
"Oh and take this guy too." Mikael added.
"Of course general!" a major general replied.
The others took the man while the rest bowed down respectfully to the generals before they left.
"Dude, are you okay?" one major general asked.
"I'm not…" the man stuttered in pain.
"It's okay, we're here" a major general replied.

An Apartment Building, Capital Antares
Ring. Ring. The alarm clock rung echoing in the building.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"What's up with the noise?" someone said.
"Fuck… Who the hell keeps blaring their alarm?" another one said, annoyed.
"Jesus christ, I know that guy–he lives in the 4th floor and annoys everyone with his alarm." another replied.
"Why does he keep doing that?" someone asked.
Murmurs could be heard echoing inside the building with everyone expressing in annoyance.
Ring. Ring. Tap.
The man woke up looking back at his alarm clock.
<7:05 AM>
He was five minutes late to stop the alarm.
"Oh well, it already happened, can't do nothing about it" the man muttered.
His room was messy–clothes thrown everywhere and stuffs he didn't clean and arranged.
The man took off his clothes throwing it around the basket.
He made his way to the bathroom.
The man moved his hand adjusting the temperature before twisting the knob.
Hiss.
The water burst through the showerhead.
The man took his time showering.
Ten minutes later…
The man grabbed the towel after turning off the showerhead.
The man took another time brushing his teeth before eventually leaving the bathroom.
Bang.
The door around the bathroom shut closed.
The man took a pair of new clothes before making his way into the living room.
He turned on the tv trying to find anything new.
Shhhhhhh.
"The killer hmm…" The man muttered.
"It was me." The man smirked.
Click.
The man turned off the tv with his remote.
8:00 AM.
The man looked at one of his clock.
"I guess I should head out now." The man said, readying up his things.
Bang. The door closed, locking it before he leaves.
"It's time to go" The man smiled softly.
