Carmen Ruslan

Wrath, Envy, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth.

Tell me what events and decisions have been taken throughout my adventure break.

Envy knelt down, bruised all over with a face that could put fairies to shame, black-haired with bluish hues that held the world in disdain, well with small lips and a perfect nose bridge with a well-proportioned body and looked down to the floor stuttered saying

"Erm....erm.....I wanted to inform you but you were tired so I had to delay but.....when I was about to tell you, you had".....she glanced at Wrath with jealousy and hatred before looking down again Wrath discipline me for my mistake...

So I'm to be blamed right, Larne cut in

Envy shook her head like she wanted it to fall off, and said I'm to blamed for not reporting to you immediately or informing you one way or another, then she glanced up, her eyes shining with determination before gritting her teeth to say please punish me "Your Exalt", her heart steeled for what to come.

Larne looked at her and almost held back his laughter by biting his lower lip.

"Sir"

'Hmm, how many times do I have to tell you not to call me "sir", when we are together 'like this, call me by name, "ok"

Erm...Larne, I, Scarlet also known as Envy and your first lover and friend have come with my monthly report and have I have to say I am sorry and It won't ever happen again, the inci-

"I don't like where this is going, scarlet what happened and why do you have to say all those introductions before saying the matter what went wrong, Larne cuts in

Yes, that's what I am saying, your father king Carmen Ruslan faced an assassination attempt and we have also come up with....

"Assassination? my father? why-

Yes, Larne that reason, you're thinking of, only your father didn't go to war and still has his complete army, so Adox's warmongers princes before partioning the empire jn a secret agreement with the Trade Alliance and other major powers involved in the war was that the other major powers dispatch their sword saints and kill or put Carmen Ruslan in a comatose state so as to make sure that the proud King doesn't prove to be a pain in the ass

Another reason for the assassination was because the two Empires were scared, the whole of Elysium knows of the "most fiercest legion" only belongs to one man and why the Alliance was able to win,

Larne you should know that the legion is so fierce that out of all our problems, "FierceLion" is also the most difficult to solve out of because is a light infantry and easy adaptability, it can be use for land warfare and mountain warfare too and that's why it has been able to keep the barbarians and the magical beasts stampede in check for years now and wasn't able to be deployed for the 'final' war between the Empire and the Alliance

Larne, do you remember the 'war' which led to the almost conquering of the mid-Southern nations and Nornak's impending fall, according to the report "Eagle's Eye" gave me, 47 years ago when just half of whole legion was borrowed from father then, when he was still a 'Quasi sword saint', and the then Adox Empire Emperor 'Adox Adonis the second' asked for your father's help in the war, then with just 25,000men and 2500 Knights, your father's army almost crushed the whole Alliance army and mid-Southern Alliance forces then-

"Yes, I remember, so?

Then call of help came from home and the king then had to rush back to the north to curb the barbarians invasion or the war would have ended by then, the whole Elysium was taken aback by storm, no one expected such a bloodthirsty and prideful legion was that fierce and well trained earning it prideful name "FierceLion"....

Wait!, I get it now so my father was assassinated for Adox Empire princes were afraid of my father and his army 'hmm', I see, Larne replied and starts to think of the next phase of his plan and how that affects it, he brings his hands to his chin and rubs it slowly but subtly even when there wasn't beard on it

.....

In the middle of nowhere,

Thousand of miles away, in a faraway peninsula that stretches all the way from it connection point to the mainland and end point somewhere in the middle of nowhere, the 7th largest Kingdom and what people refer to as the 'slave capital' in an underground gigantic Hall which gives off the impression that a opened gigantic beast

mouth.

Twelve different men and women representing twelve different forces were currently discussing and chattering about the 'happenings' when a middle aged man of tall stature and imposing bearing walked in, the whole table or discussion got quiet, the man of imposing bearing and of indifference got to the center of the table and sat down cleared his throat

'Ahem', ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 'Eleru Kingdom' and thank you for coming, I know why we are all here-

Yes, to share the spoils of war- Ahh!, a middle-aged man with beady eyes and small face which showcases his sneaky and crafty behaviour cuts in when an horrible pressure bore on him and he realises his mistake and quickly got on his knees to bow and kowtow for forgiveness 'forgive me my lord, I was too hasty, it won't happen again' only then did he feel the pressure leave him, the crafty-looking man quickly thanks the imposing man "thank you my lord"

"As I was saying before getting interrupted", the middle aged imposing man said and continued 'the war has ended but we still need to tie loose ends so as to make sure that nobody may find out what happened and why it happened, the masses out there only knows that Alliance won due to their unyielding spirit but 'we' all know that, that is far from the truth for 'FierceLion' didn't even join the last 'final' battle between the two Empires and the Alliance because of the strings we pulled and achieved but that "proud King", by now would have already noticed the plot against and start to draw his trump and final card out, his two sons died, one is missing and the last one who is still too young has a deadly disease so we may find out about his 'lost son' and hidden legion he is hiding away from the world, Carmen Ruslan may be proud to the extent that it affects his ego but 'we' here all know that he as 'smart' as he is 'proud', we made his family scheme against him because we promised them benefits for 'his' death unfortunately that bastard! didn't die, 'we' Underestimated his shocking and hidden battle prowess, he is the youngest 'sword saint' but two of 'our' level one late stage 'swordsaints' couldn't kill him because he killed one and heavily injured one

Fortunately, before 'Fierce heat swordsaint' escaped, he said he stabbed 'him' with his poisoned dagger, so Carmen Ruslan has only about a two years to die, so till then....meeting adjourned".

But!

A busty and curvaceous woman interrupted and said continued by saying "'we' here all know of Carmen Ruslan for he is the most despotic and scheming ruler there is in what remains of Ruslan Kingdom, I think we should inform the "former Crown Prince" of the Adox Empire Kris Adox to instead of leaving a 'ferocious beast' at your doorstep he should tame Carmen Ruslan as his dog by making him a Viscount and cutting his army, land and his most precious love 'his title', Carmen Ruslan won't refuse because of his pride as a vassal to his former and still rightful liege but he would resent the crown prince thereby killing two birds with no stone[1].

*silence*,

Clap!, Clap!

As expected of a woman who schemed against her own family just for power, the imposing middle aged said for strangely we don't whether it was a compliment or an insult but one thing was for sure, the busty woman's plan was genius. The imposing man for sure did notice some points there and decided to implement it right away.

......

Wrath!, call me "pride"!

But! Larne, he's no-

No buts, we need him for our next plan!, he's very crucial.
