Regina was having a very bad 48 hours, first her husband was returned to her in the most vulnerable state she had ever seen him, then she spent the rest of the day worrying about her children, not just if they were safe but if they would be used as hostage to force the hands of her husband when he wakes up.
She was relieved to not only see them alive but to see their progress and also note that the witch didn't put any of her cause on the children, only too receive news that their most important advantage over the other kingdom was gone.
She could already see them preparing their future generations to not just hate but to actually plan how to destroy her family and if she was being honest she would do the same if she was in their shoes.
That's why she is so terrified now, because she knows what to expect if she was in their shoes but it would be worse because she hasn't had to go through what they have been through. Her kingdom has been taking over 44% of the resources being shared amongst the 7 kingdoms and they don't have any friends among the other 6.
So immediately they find out about this change they would be coming and depending on how they behave now her son might be the last king of Ceste that comes from her family. Their foreign policy is about to change dramatically.
We will wait for your father to wake up and they shall explain what happened to our mountain, she said after a while, but deep down she knew now was not the time for making more enemies especially one as powerful as the Portia.
The children nodded, still Victor was about to state more of his grievance with the Portia family when they were interrupted by one of the shadows Captain.
My lady we have received 6 requests from the 6 kingdom for an audience with his highness when he wakes up.
Regina frowned,off cause they knew and it must be that bitch Ariana, but if they are being polite enough to wait for him to wake up that means they don't know what happened and they are being cautious,so even Ariana didn't see what happened,she thought.
Respond that it shall be arranged, she said.
The captain nodded and left the royals too themselves.
Immediately he left Regina stood up and said to her children,go in and rest I should return to your father's side,you shall see him when he wakes up, she left without waiting for there reply.
The other children turned to look at Victor with annoyed eyes, after all they could tell what he was trying to do, even though he knew they just lost something essential to the kingdom power he still wants to start another conflict that would no doubt defang the kingdom even more.
All that because he wanted to be petty, he's stupidity was laid out for all to see. Marius just stood up and walked away and Serena followed immediately but Ava stayed behind to say something.
You know the king is not always the first son right it's the strongest child, the one with the potential to reach SS rank,if somehow you are the only one among us with that potential i would kill you.
Immediately he heard that from his sister his eyes widened he wanted to say something but she raised her hand and continue.
It not that i don't like you but because i know if you get the throne you would destroy this kingdom before time has the chance to try, after saying that she also left.
Now alone Victor was angry, very angry and he blamed it on that coreless bastard.
Sometime the same day
So I'm guessing we all already received a reply from the kingdom of Ceste, Caius said after everyone was connected and saw the others nod in response to his question.
Do any of us know why the reply came back this quick, though he asked the question to everyone but they all understood who it was actually meant for and she didn't get to reply because someone decided to solve the case.
Isn't it obvious, they know he would be waking up more powerful and we are basically going there to congratulate him instead of trying to prevent it, Camila said so sure off herself and angry at the rest for not following her suggestion.
Her anger increased when she realized they were all waiting for Ariana to collaborate her words before they believe her and it went up again when she saw the bitch Ariana dismiss her words with a shake of her head.
According to my findings he isn't advancing but just in a comma cause by a battle, no one has an idea what he fought or how he ended up like that,all that can be confirmed is he went to kiaza with Marcus and Priscilla and was brought back by Priscilla unconscious, Ariana told everyone this information for free which surprise everyone until they realized the reason she didn't try to hide or monetize it.
Whatever can put Augustus in that state would without a doubt do them the same so now they need to go to caste not to knee or laugh at Augustus but to understand the threat that is in the human domain, they had to know if Augustus was able to kill it and only suffer being in a comma as a result or he was beating so bad that whatever he fought thought he wasn't worth it's time and let him go after he fell in the comma.
If he was brought back by Priscilla then she should be able to say what happened after all they went there together Lucius asked and everyone knew it was a question for Ariana.
Well she has refused to say anything from what i have gathered and even the queen couldn't make her talk so i think whatever defeated Augustus is something she doesn't want to go against that is why whenever she gets asked she will always say to wait and ask Augustus when he wakes up.
Well that's not good news but i do have some news and I feel like it might be related Vincent Aeris said grabbing everyone's attention.
Oh this should be good Ariana said and then waited for him to continue after all if he has news that not even she herself had gotten,that's definitely going to be a blow to her pride.
Well since yesterday they have not only stopped hostility but they completely retreat from the border.
Well that's very convenient, what if Vicente is right and they wanted something in kiaza and while they were going about taking it Augustus and Co ran into them and he decided to fight for whatever they were trying to take from his kingdom and he obviously overestimated himself, Bennett said
That's what i was thinking, because i see no reason why they would be harassing me for over 4 years and then stop on the day Augustus was defeated.
While that's a good enough reason you guys are forgetting something. Ariana said she was blinded by the Portia before whatever happened in kiaza started so either they are working with them or they are not involved with the situation and just decide they were done with you for now.
I feel like it's not a stretch that the Portia are working for the Elves, think about it maybe that's what gives Victor the courage to act the way he does because he already has a stronger backing, Camila said.
You know Camila even when you are trying to make sense you just have to go and remove sense from what you are making Bennett Tellus said while chuckling.
One more insult from you and you would have to say it to my face you stone licker she replied him immediately.
Oh i am not trying to start anything it just your logic just throw me off sometimes he said while he raised his hands in surrender. But here is a question for you at what age did the elves start backing him.
After he waited and noticed she wasn't going to reply he continued,we all knew him since he was young so we knew when he got his nickname and why he got it in the first place,so if you attribute his behavior to the fact you think he has protection from one of humanity great enemy then you can understand my perspective listening to you.
Camila was beginning to hate this meetings more and more,they all just find a way to make whatever she says sounds stupid (A/N: probably because it sometimes is), enough you could have made your point without the insults she eventually said.
Wait what if they really where there but not as reneforcement for the Portia but as another group trying to take what they were trying to hide and when they got it they met Augustus who lets be honest would have fought if he believed he could benefit from whatever they took from his domain especially if he thinks he stands a chance, Lucius said
That sounds reasonable but we would have to wait for Augustus to wake up to get our answers until then all we have is nothing more than speculation, Caius said and they all agreed so they ended the call to go about their business.
