Chapter 1305 - A Perfect Plan
Rudolf admired that Barn family.
A few years prior to the birth of Sebastian and his siblings, his father and grandfather had just joined the T.O.E.P.
As for their wishes, Judd used to gain more strength in Lingingburg, while his son used his to initiate all of his future children into the T.O.E.P... That was his wish.
At the same time, they also built up their forces for when one of their Barn Children would go back to Arcadina and rule it all!
It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Sebastian had 3 siblings, a sister 2 years younger than himself and a brother, 3 years a few months younger than himself. The 3 of them were close and very warm with one another, having little to no internal disputes.
After being born and initiated into the T.O.E.P, they had individually grown their power and had long decided who would do what growing up. Sebastian took up the mantle, swearing to become ruler of Arcadina and washing his grandfather's reputation clean.
The T.O.E.P in turn had faith in him, since he was someone they groomed from birth.
So even though they did agree for Eli Barn to be the first choice after Alec's death, they were always secretly pushing for Sebastian instead.
Do you know how many things would be easily accomplished when they had a ridiculously loyal person on the throne?
Well, they would've kept Alec's promise to leave Eli to take the throne. And after a few months, they would've killed him off instead.
Hey... No matter how angered Alec would get in the afterlife, they did abide by the rules of leaving his son to take his seat, no?
(^+^)
However, William was a bug that they didn't even see coming.
Who knew that he had a similar survival story to Sebastian?... Except that his was more righteous. But so what? Power speaks, and that's that. So all he could do now was back off for the true monarch to arrive.
.
Rudolf massaged his chin thoughtfully.
He had been stationed in one of the Coastal regions in Lingingburg, with the sole purpose of doing his own job, should Alec kick the bucket.
Hehehehehe... Every so often, he found his leg stationed there in wait for news of Alec's death.
In particular, he would permanently get stationed there during the Kill-Free period when meets could plot and kill themselves. But he was in a specific department exempt from this, and was more of the policing type, finding and taking note of those who died.
So he got stationed there, planning to get information about some members in Veinitta, as well as some in Pyno.
He had just 6 people to focus on.
Additionally, Alec's case was unique because once he died, Rudolf also had another job of putting Sebastian's wish in motion.
T.O.E.P rules stated that members couldn't kill each other unless during the Kill-free period.
So back then, no matter how much Sebastiana and his family wanted Arcadina's throne, it was a crime to do anything to Alec.
During the killing period, they too were busy protecting themselves. So all they could do was wait for the bastard to kick the bucket and die!
The entire thing was just one big dramatic mess.
.
Rudolf had always gone to that Coastal city to stay there for the next 8~9 months until he got word on Alec's situation and a few others in Veinitta and Tenola.
Of course, he wasn't the only one policing or checking them up.
Every enforcer had a list of people scattered in various regions. So concerning other T.O.E.P members like Nopline, that was not his business and jurisdiction. He was only focused on the list he had.
And just as he said, apart from being a T.O.E.P enforcer, he was also assigned to be one of the 4 lead units in charge of granting Sebastian's wish.
He had only arrived in the coastal region a few months prior, and had immediately heard of Alec's death and some William guy taking the throne.
So of course, he sent word of his next moves to Sebastian and his leaders, before taking action on William.
Firstly, William had a capital offence of killing a T.O.E.P member (Alec), which was unusable by death.
The order protects its kind. So any outsider that touched a member would be punished severely.
But... Because Sebastian wanted to play with William and make him desperate like a lab rat, they had long come up with an elaborate plan to make him live in hell right before his throne git snatched away.
Yup!
It should've been Eli and Alec's other children who faced this situation.
However, since they were unavailable, then William would have to do.
For Sebastiana and his family, William was an embodiment of Oden.
So yes! They wanted to treat him as though they were treating Oden himself.
That is, William's father, mother and everyone else would have to suffer until it was their time to die!
Judd Barns was still alive in Lingingburg to this day. So for the Grand finale, he would come over and be the one to behead William and anyone else who looked like Oden.
Because it was true William resembled Oden too much, as though he were Oden's twin.
Heh. He was in for a real treat in the following months to come.
.
Like so, Rudolf only stayed at that Coastal region for 2 weeks before turning towards Arcadina and sailing up the Banvia river that led towards the Capital.
The river was deeper than that of River Nile back on earth.
And because of its importance, the number of guards stationed across it was always astronomical. There was also river control, with several massive drawbridges created to stop ships from advancing, as though they were building bridge checkpoints across the zone.
Of course, because Rudolf came from Veinitta, the guards allowed him to pass... especially after hearing that he had a message for his majesty.
They let him go but sent word on to warn William.
It was just that William just arrived at Arcadina a week ago, after getting sent back by the Baymardians.
He went to Landon's wedding and was back to find the message of strangers coming his way.
William chuckled.
Did they think he wouldn't dare to do anything to them because of their positions?
KILL!
