Conspiracy

It was night time, and Aaron was back at the village where they had rested the night before the battle. Aaron had immediately decided to leave the orc camp with a third of the army and allow Caesar and Jacob to manage the camp, since he wanted to report to the king immediately and reach the village before night, since the wild beasts were more active and dangerous at night.They had set camp at the outer perimeter of the village to detect any intruder's and among many tent's, there was a bigger tent in which Aaron was sitting and deep in thought.

10 years ago...

In a village surrounding the rush green forest's and a clear blue lake at its outskirts, There was a healthy normal village boy living with his parents.

Dad...Dad..., Please tell Mom that she allow me to see the wizard please...., said a boy looking towards his Father with his eyes begging as if it was something very important to his dear life.

Aarons father looked towards a woman who was currently cooking,his lovely wife and Aaron's sweet mother.

Sigh.. . .. . . ...Dear. ... .. ....

"Don't 'Dear me' John (Not in a so sweet mood), You have spoiled my child by always giving in to his tantrums, he's grown up now and should go to the forest to hunt and help the family in earning some bread and not jumping around to meet a stranger", said his mom angrily".

After 15 minutes of persuasion, his mom finally agreed.

Sigh...OK Aaron, but come before dinner.

Yay....Mom, you're the best ,said Aaron hugging his mother.

Heyyy, Who was begging for persuading her first?

Daaaaad. . . .I love you too. ... . ..

The cloud's are dark his house is destroyed, his mom is in a shock. There are ruin's everywhere. There is the stench of death, people are screaming for help, but Aaron was now looking at the corpse of a man whose stomach was pierced and a wolf beast lay nearby, with a smile on his face, but pain in his eye's...

Aaaaaaaarghhhhhh . .. .. ..Nooooooooo .. ..

God whyyyyyyyyyyyy..... .. . . . . . . .

Commander...Commander, Aaron's thought's were broken, as he was sweating badly and sensing another person, he quickly calmed down looked around, seeing an agile scout in Beast armor and waiting for him to speak. "The orc chief and his daughter along with the other orc prisoner's have escaped".The knight hurriedly reported.

How?, Aaron asked frowning, but he was smiling inwardly, "So they were successful after all", he thought.

Few hour's ago ....

My dear Leila, Are you alright?, The Orc Chief looked at the princess and asked her with concern when she was brought in.

I am alright father, I was really worried about you when I heard that you were captured, Leila said with tear's in her eye's as she hugged her father.

Just a scar here and there, but I am fully patched up after some healing, said the Orc chief, sweating after remembering the battle, as he "looked down"(You know what I mean right😏) and took a deep breath, now looking at Leila and asking her about how she was caught. He remembered that he had ordered her to escape before the battle.

After explaining the encounter with Aaron (Removing some part's, since she was too embarrassed to speak about) and his word's, The Orc chief started mumbling, well ... I shouldn't have bet with him about your recklessness.

Leila : （￣～￣;) . .. . . .. .

The human king was assasinated secretely and was announced being bedridden with illness with his name being used to prevent suspicion and maintain balance. We had already talked about it and decided to prepare precautions as there were many scouts being spotted recently, So I had already sent all the army except the elite's (since their absence might be noted) and resources secretly to the Merkel empire where our ancestors and now our brothers leave under the guise of an ancestral ritual, while taking all the convict's, murderers promising them freedom and lot's of treasure's and tempting them to join the war and acting as if we were captured unintentionally.

But Father, I heard that you were seriously injured in today's battle, Leila looked at him and asked innocently.

Hahahaha....I had to reduce my strength and fight, as not to injure Aaron.

Ahem...Can you give me what Aaron had told you to?

Yes father..... said Leila as she removed a small red silky pouch, which she tried to open.

Wait....I know what it is.Aaron had told me through the communication talisman before being captured, about it.

What is it father? Leila now looked at the bag curiously.

Heheeheheheh...It's sleeping powder of the butterfly beast, take the antidote attached below.

Father, Who is Aaron?, asked Leila, her curiosity getting the better of her.
