Caesar and Sebastian walked through the dimmed hallways in silence, Caesar was studying the papers Sebastian had given him with great interest.
"Young master, you are leaving the kingdom soon… are you sure it"s a good idea to destroy the Rudolph household?"
Caesar"s feet paused and he turned to glance at Sebastian "the kingdom is currently on shaky ground as it is, If I destroy the Rudolph household the other n.o.bles will get worried that they might be next"
Sebastian nodded his head slowly "Indeed, that would destroy any chances that Rahvin kingdom had of becoming perfectly united"
"Precisely, that is why we will not be the ones to destroy his house" m.u.f.fled laughter escaped from Caesar"s lips as he started to shred the piece of paper in his hands.
Sebastian stood still frozen for a few seconds before finally catching up to Caesar with rushed footsteps… "how are you going to accomplish that, young master?" he asked curiously.
"To keep the prestige of the n.o.bles, the past king had covered up many of the atrocities committed by their family…"
Caesar paused and continued…
"If the citizens themselves started an uprising to destroy the Rudolph household, who would stop them?"
"B-but, young master… there are guards stationed at Rudolph household" Sebastian said worriedly.
"Do you know who I am?" Caesar asked a question instead of answering.
"The Marshall…" Sebastian replied after thinking for a few seconds.
Caesar smiled widely and entered into a random study, he opened the drawers and grabbed a small piece of paper, he wrote some things on the piece of paper and handed it to Sebastian.
"Spread the things written on here to the maids and citizens at the best of your ability, don"t let anyone suspect you," Caesar said quietly.
Sebastian bowed earnestly and took the piece of paper from Caesar"s hands "as you command, young master" Sebastian replied respectively and quickly rushed out of the study room.
Once Sebastian left the room, Caesar, soon followed. He walked back towards his room and stood in front of his door.
*creak*
*clink*
Caesar stepped inside and locked the door behind him, he shifted his gaze towards the bed and a cute scene was reflected in his eyes.
Ahri was rubbing the little girl"s hair and Adriana was looking at Caesar warily.
Caesar shook his head wryly and walked towards his desk, he sat down on the chair and folded his legs.
"There were many that were enslaved with you right?" Caesar asked after sitting in silence for a moment.
"O-of course, you have to save them!" the girl pleaded after being reminded of her friends that were still trapped.
Caesar tapped the desk slowly, "when a n.o.ble dies, do you know what happens to their owned slaves?"
"They are killed…" Ahri muttered out from the bed.
Adriana looked at Ahri with shock "t-that can"t be… I was just with them" Tears started spilling out from her eyes.
*screech*
Caesar got up from the chair and peered into Adriana"s eyes… "they are probably not dead yet, something big will happen tomorrow. During that time you can release the slaves locked inside, of course, it is dependant on your skills" Caesar said slowly.
Adriana"s eyes lit up "I know where the cells are hidden, I"ll do it!" She said excitedly.
"Alright, go wash for now… get some rest and make sure you are prepared for tomorrow" Caesar said sternly and pointed at the bathroom.
Adriana nodded her head sincerely and ran towards the bathroom.
*slam*
Once she entered into the room, Ahri visibly frowned and looked at Caesar angrily…
"You could have done it yourself, why are you making such a young girl do something so dangerous?" she asked with annoyance.
Caesar sat back down on the chair and looked at the ceiling, "If I saved them, they would owe me a debt, a debt they would never feel that they could pay back" Caesar explained calmly and paused for a second.
"If they want true freedom they need to live for themselves, not someone else… slavery cannot be abolished unless the slaves themselves fight for it"
Ahri nodded her head slightly "don"t you want to give a lesson to the other n.o.bles to stop slavery forever?" Ahri asked curiously.
Caesar shook his head, "Sure, If I tried I could most certainly abolish slavery in this kingdom… but what happens when I disappear? if no one else wanted it then won"t it just come back?"
Caesar chuckled and walked towards Ahri, "A good leader does not only change the present but also secures the future"
Ahri looked at the ground in contemplation "b-but aren"t you going to stay here for a long time anyway?" Ahri said quickly noticing Caesar closing the distance between them.
Once Caesar was just inches away from Ahri, he crouched down and she gazed into his mesmerizing red eyes.
"This kingdom is just a starting point, I"m going to shake this entire world..." Caesar said slyly and moved his face closer to her lips
"T-the world? Where will I be when you reach greater heights?" Ahri asked slightly hesitantly
"Of course you will be my biggest supporter, my right hand, my lover, and of course, my queen," he said slowly and captured her lips.
Caesar"s tongue invaded her mouth and they engaged in a deep kiss for about 10 seconds before the bathroom door opened and interrupted them.
Ahri quickly pushed Caesar away and breathed heavily, "Adriana, you are done so quickly?" Ahri said quickly and tidied up her clothes.
Adriana looked back and forth between Caesar and Ahri for a few seconds before tilting her head in confusion "I was in there for quite a while though?"
"Haha, I have a daughter that is just like you… I will introduce you two one day" Caesar laughed loudly while looking at Adriana.
Adriana tilted her head even further and sat down on the bed, "when will my chance come for infiltrating the Rudolph household?" she abruptly changed the subject and asked while staring straight at Caesar.
"You will know when, Ahri will help you as well…" Caesar said after thinking for a second.
"Really?" Adriana asked surprised and looked at Ahri with expectation.
"Yes!" Ahri said with a wide smile.
Caesar nodded his head in appreciation seeing this scene and headed for the door, "I have some more things I need to take care of, remember, there will be no guards stationed at the household… just make sure no one sees who you are" Caesar reminded sternly before walking out the door.
Both Ahri and Adriana nodded their heads solemnly.
*creak*
*slam*
Once Caesar left the room Adriana looked at Ahri with a smile, "you have a great mate!" she said energetically.
Ahri smiled slightly "thank you" she replied.
"You better be careful, there will be a lot of others that want to steal him from you," Adriana said teasingly.
"Hmph, I won"t let any of those wenches steal my man," Ahri said ferociously while rubbing Adriana"s hair.
"Hehehe"
Their bright and cheerful laughter loosened the dark mood and set the stage for tomorrow.
