Suddenly Nobles

Command to Rebellion

After yesterday's incident, early in the morning after escorting Eve home to her castle, Lucas hurriedly knocked on the door of the king's room located in the middle of the palace. A place where safety is very secure. At a glance, the man glanced towards the window. The sun has not risen yet. But the existence of the sun will still not affect Lucas to meet the number one person in Sasania.

"Sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince. His Majesty just fell asleep from an hour ago."

That was the answer Lucas could get right now from an old servant standing in front of the room door.

"I'll send him a message."

"Please, Your Majesty."

"I want to speak four eyes." Lucas paused. "It's about the political relationship between Sasania and Brodsway."

The waiter looked respectfully. "I will tell you, Crown Prince. As soon as he wakes up."

Feeling that his task was done there, Lucas turned around. As far as the eye could see he only saw the servants busy going back and forth cleaning up the rest of the party last night. Everyone immediately bowed respect when they realized the presence of the new heir Sasania. Lucas. As he turned towards the descending stairs, at the end of the stairs precisely on the last step, Lucas could see a long-spirited man turning behind him.

But Lucas knew the man well. He was the only man with long hair in his life.

Hearing footsteps from behind —that Lucas accidentally knocked a little— General Nicholas turned around. At first glance Lucas could see flashes of worry in both of his eyeballs. But quickly the white man looked down respectfully.

"Crown Prince."

"Rare moments see you're not drunk." Lucas patted his shoulder familiarly. General Nicholas, although they had not been friends since childhood, trusted this man very much. "Something must have happened, right?"

"A very bad incident just happened, Your Majesty."

"Say."

"A few hours ago someone found Prince Julius of Brodsway lying in the garden behind the palace." His face was back in pias, "thank God he's not dead. It is inconceivable how Brodsway's side became more and more convinced to attack us for the death of one of his princes."

"really shocking. Have you been told who would dare to harm the prince?" said Lucas pretended not to know when he was the real culprit.

"It seems the injury to the back of his neck was severe enough that Prince Julius had not yet regained consciousness. So there's no information we can know."

"Is there not the slightest trace that refers to the culprit?"

"Her own person could be said to be great. No trace in the slightest, very clean not even leaving footprints. Maybe he's a level one hit man." General Nicholas issued his opinion full of astonishment. "But what does it mean? Just take down Prince Julius without making him die. It must have been the guy deliberately letting the target stay alive."

"Maybe there's something we don't know."

"Yes, maybe. Now I am becoming more and more curious and impatient waiting for Prince Julius to wake up and ask him all his chronology" said General Nicholas.

"What do you think if it was me?"

"Eh?" General Nicholas was silent before he laughed out loud and patted Prince Lucas on the shoulder. "Your sense of humor is pretty good, crown prince. I know, there's no good reason if you really do that."

It's not Lucas' fault anymore, is it. He had surrendered himself from the beginning.

"By the way, crown prince. Lately the rebellion has become more violent. Ah, I just wanted to talk about this to you, and thank goodness we can meet now."

Lucas gave them a code to talk while walking to the study. General Nicholas, who understood the crown prince's intentions, nodded briefly and followed Lucas to his right.

"Another rebellion?"

General Nicholas nodded steadily. "Like nothing inexhaustible," lamented the man restless, "if this continues, the lives of fallen soldiers are no more valuable than the greed of the rulers of—"

General Nicholas sculpts. Getting his opinion out now is tantamount to suicide. In front of the crown prince.

Lucas laughed a little. After they entered his study, he himself closed the door again. "Geez, so that's how you, huh, your view of the rulers who raised you up until now, General?"

"N-no, that's not it...."

"Why trembling?" Lucas gave a mocking look. "Your thoughts and those rebels are the same. So if you join them, I don't mind."

"Crown Prince!" General Nicholas immediately dropped himself and bent his knees in front of Lucas. "If you think that I've been barking to my own employer, then please cut off my neck right now!"

"But His Majesty the King never told me to kill you, right? You're his favorite general" Lucas replied with an amused grin.

"I'm only going to be faithful to one man's orders, and that person is you." General Nicholas had no intention of leaving. If he could, he would bow down to Lucas to believe this loyalty of his. "Therefore, if you order me to die even now, I will be willing to kill myself with my own hands, or with your hands!"

"My command remains the same, general." Lucas chuckles.

"Take your entire army to the north side and help the rebels fight against the palace."

General Nicholas is flabbergasted. What is this?!

"Sometimes we don't understand ourselves, general. To whom we stand. Either in favor of the privileged, or in favor of the people. The higher the position in the palace, the more opaque all truth will be. You're right, many rulers end up like pigs, greedy and greedy until they forget their main task. People out there have to cry every night because their stomachs are always empty."

"You ordered me to rebel, crown prince?" General Nicholas asked again. I had no faith in Lucas' words just now.

"We're one thought, I know. After sitting down as the rebels, I know who's really wrong in this case. His Majesty the King. I think it's the youth who are so unwise that the people are trying to fight against him."

"Then from that .. even though the King is my own father. I must fight it for the millions of my people who hope for justice." Lucas chuckled, amused to see how General Nicholas' expression was left in shock. "Don't we ever be born in this world taught to do that? Fight with the people, not against them. One or two revolts may not matter, but this time the rebellion almost surrounded Sasania. It's not wrong, the government is wrong."

"Your Majesty." General Nicholas stood up. Putting his palm on his chest, bending over. A code in the military world that he would obey at any time.

"Whatever you command, it is an obligation to me. Therefore, let me set out today to help the rebels!"
