Chapter 899 - Deiferus Drama Over, On To The Next

The ladies felt like their patience was running out with these people that loved to play the guessing game with them.

You, who?

The masked guy just said it was him.

So?

Were they supposed to know him magically or something?"

There were thousands and thousands of wealthy within the continent, out of the millions of people.

So who exactly was the masked man?

"Ladies, I can only tell you that I intend to stay here for a week to assist Henry deal with a few things.

And after a week, I will be taking your sons with me to a very far away place out of Deiferus.

As for seeing them again, of course, I will permit you to visit them whenever you feel like it.

So, you ladies are welcome to visit them in Baymard any time."

Baymard?

The ladies were taken aback.

Yes, they did admit that the things from Baymard are eye-catching and even inspirational.

But Baymard was more of a small market/trading empire where everyone could do business freely.

It was a weak empire sheltered by Carona and had to pay tithes and taxes to Carona to ensure protection.

They even heard that yearly, Baymard carried half of its income and gave Carona to continue securing their safety.

Such a place was no doubt weak compared to Deiferus, so why would Baynard dip their fingers into such dangerous waters?

Could it be that they and Henry made some beneficial deal that would profit Baymard greatly?

They probably got the Caronian knights to assist in this battle too.

Because how else would 30,000 of Ulrich’s men and about 17,000 of Winston’s backup forces be wiped out?

.

It was a well-known fact that Baymard didn’t have that many knights.

In fact, Baymard had no knighthood academy.

So they got aid from Carona to take care of those backup forces.

And Henry probably marched into the Capital with the not-so-big gang that their sons had in the palace.

Not to talk of the fact that the bastard took advantage of everything and waited for everyone to start killing each other before swooping in and dealing with those that survived.

Yes, everything made sense now.

Henry alone couldn’t take down their boys.

He had help.

Earlier on, they thought that their sons might be leaving the Capital soon, but since the masked man would stay here for a week before leaving, this was their chance to gather up a few more people and strike before the 7th day.

As for believing the masked man, of course, they did because it was a fact that Henry would face a lot of pressure if he ever wanted to take the throne.

Not that they sympathized with him, but they desperately wanted to have hope that the masked man would stay out.

Even they could see that Henry was still too weak to do it all alone like their sons.

So the masked man’s reasoning was convincing.

Nonetheless, they would place spies around the palace when they went home to ensure their sons stayed here for a week.

And in the meantime, they would do their best to save their sons within this period.

Today was day 1.

.

"Hickory, bring them out."

"Yes, your highness."

With that, the women who were immersed in their thoughts instantly snapped out in a panic.

They wouldn’t have done anything to them, right?

Sure enough, they did!

The moment they saw their sons carried in with stretchers, their hearts broke and bled rivers of blood deep within their bodies.

Seeing their once-proud sons carried in on bamboo stretchers, their hearts shattered into fragments that were more numerous than the stars in the night sky.

They stretched their hands in fear of their speculations.

Did these bastards cripple their sons!!!!!

Pang.

"Out of my way!

Get out!"

They threw the swords in their hands and dashed forward, pushing their men who tried to protect them.

They ran straight for their broken sons, who were now placed on the floor on top of their stretchers.

Both Ulrich and Winston looked frighteningly pale.

And the bandages around their injured body parts only made their conditions look worse.

In truth, the soldiers had been treating them like patients... But both Winston and Ulrich hardly ate anything because they were still skeptical and thought there was poison in the dishes.

If not for the fact that the soldiers had to pry open their mouths and force them to eat, they would probably starve to death.

Ulrich and Winston dared to do this because they knew that their mothers would come to the rescue.

After all, their maternal families were great clans, and their grandfathers alone would be able to save them.

So they tried to hold on before that.

And sure enough, their mothers were here.

.

~Ooooooooooo

"My baby, my baby, come... Tell mother who did this to you. Just point to the person, and that’s all you have to do."

"My darling baby, don’t worry, mother will avenge you."

The women didn’t care if Henry heard them because seeing their sons that looked half-dead and wrapped like that made it hard for them to contain their emotions.

The scene firmed their desire to rescue their sons even more.

No matter what it took, they had to get them out of here!

And so the women left the palace in a hast to make preparations.

They sent spies to keep a lookout around the palace and also made their way to visit their fathers, the head of the clans and other influential supporters of their sons.

Both mothers were in good fighting spirit.

And by 11 P.M, one of the spies returned and told Kyla that there was no movement in the palace.

Likewise, at midnight, Lillian’s spies also informed her of the same thing.

Anyway, the city gates closed at 10 P.M.

So they knew that if the masked man had to leave, it would be before 10 P.m.

Nonetheless, they still had the spies send their reports hours later, just to be sure.

Of course, another batch of spies would watch everything throughout the night.

But getting the reports of no movement at this time of the night made them sleep with a bit of peace of mind for now.

It looks like the masked man did intend to leave after a week.

Or so they thought because when they woke up the next day, another letter from the palace came their way.

Apparently, it was from the masked man.

[Ladies, I’m sorry.

But you see, something came up.

So we had to leave last night.

But I do look forward to your visit to Baymard.

Bye-bye]

.....

"Quick!

Gather the men and leave the city now.

Chase after that bastard and bring my son back!

That damn bastard!

How dare he bully widows this much?

Bastard! Swindler! Fraudster! Sc.u.mbag!!

Bastard!"

Both women cursed loudly in rage until they finally passed out.

Bam.

(XOX)

"My Queen."

"My Queen."

"My Queen."

As they slowly lost consciousness, they couldn’t help but want to slice the masked man into pieces.

F***!

They had been had.

Meanwhile, the culprit of it all was long gone, on his way to the wedding.

Finally, he was done with this Deiferus drama.

On to the next.
