Dylan smirked, nice this one has brains and aimed higher than any of this dimwit
" The princes are not to be messed with Serena you've been there, don't forget they can take tyrant and they're really powerful, we need to do this carefully and not become reckless." Zach looked at Serena seriously
Dylan sighed , they're too careful , he need them to cause trouble for the king while he was away to distract him for a while before he gets back. He knows wanting his mansion was a huge risk and he needed this ignorant dimwits to cause trouble and divert attentions from him.
" Okay how about this, we do it from the shadows, from nobles, officials, you know important people. We put pressure on them to put pressure on the king." Dylan suggested and that made their faces lit up, Serena smiled and looked at the rest nodding her head eagerly
" Well, I guess that could work." Karl stated
" Yea, it's worth the try." Zach said
" Yea it is, that's way better Damian." Annabelle said cheerfully
Dylan sighed and looked away this conversation got longer than he planned. He looked at his new men and closed his eyes for a split second. Just great , he got babysitters and got humiliated
" I need to go prepare to meet the king later today." He said and excused himself
" Damian! Wait," he heard Serena's voice he paused and looked at her ." Please be careful and don't die." she said worried. They all had their experience with tyrants and it was pleasant. It was narrow escape
" Sure." Dylan said and left.
Serena loved her brothers so much she'd do anything to protect them, the thought of Damian going to yelgra unsettled with her. She couldn't stop herself from thinking about the worse. But since she was helpless she could just hope that he comes back alive...with a tyrant.

Kathy followed Gilbert quietly into the room feeling annoyed. As soon as she got in, she looked at Gilbert, wondering how she would ask the question. Now it was inevitable and she was just dying to know who Dylan was.
" Hey, what's your name?" She asked friendly
" It's Gilbert your highness." He said awkwardly, why was she talking to him?
" Please I....um ...wh..w-who is .. Dylan?" She looked away . Gilbert looked at her confused, when she saw that she quickly cleared her throat." What I mean is, Dylan house what's it about, Dylan is a person right"?
Gilbert seemed to be fooled, he thought that she didn't know Dylan at all and it was her first time hearing the name.
" Oh, it's better you don't know." He made to leave but Kathy rushed to block his part suddenly glaring at him
" You won't leave here until you answer my question." She was serious this time. What's their deal and it's better you don't know, ignorant is a bliss. No she's fed up, she must know everything, everything there is to know she must.
Gilbert saw that she was serious and sighed, should he tell her? She's afterall married to the royals, but he could get in trouble what if they do not want her to know anything
" Princess look, I could get in trouble, I really would like to tell you but here anybody who talks too much gets killed." He tried to explain.
" Please Gilbert, I won't let you get killed." She realized how stupid that sounded." I won't tell anyone I promise, I won't tell anyone anything you tell me, so please answer my questions, I'm scared and confused, I don't know why all this is happening so please tell me." She pleaded and she saw him looked at her with pity, guess the Althreaze do have some sympathy
Gilbert decided to tell her some stuff, but not all just some. He didn't know if the royals would want her to know too much
" Okay what is it you wanna know but I gotta tell you, there's some stuff I can't tell you okay." He looked at her waiting for her question
Kathy sighed and smiled.
" Why was I brought here?" She wanted to ask about Dylan so badly but now that the guy was ready to answer some questions and she knew this might be her only chance she decided to ask the most important question on her mind lately.
" Oh, that I can't answer" When he saw the disappointed look on her face." Because I don't know, only Lord Eric the prince father knows why you were brought here." He answered truthfully.
Kathy nodded her head , she understand of course he wouldn't know or everyone else would have known the reason by now
" Um... Do you know what is Dylan's house?" She asked trying to not look to interested
" It belongs to one of our princes." He replied not giving to much information on that . Kathy frowned at his answer
" Please at least answer this one truthfully, who are the princes? Who are the cousins? Isn't my husband a prince, he's royal, why do people call him a bastard all the time?" She looked at him like she wanted to choke information out of him.
Gilbert cleared his throat, no harm done telling her about the princes . He'll only tell her little anyway
" The princes are the king's sons, they are currently missing and no one knows where they are at the moment. The cousins are...well their cousins but the king's son are a little bit harsh , they forbade anyone from calling them with titles, before they just go by Lord Damian or your grace or her grace, but never prince or princess and especially your highness. Anyone who calls them with that formality, even though it's their closest servants, they were punished very hard , but thankfully they weren't killed." He was about to continue but Kathy cut him short settling herself on the couch
" Why? What made them do that" She looks at him eagerly as if waiting to hear a favourite bedtime story
" That happened because they had insulted the king's first son. My princess don't tell a single soul what I'm about to tell you alright." When he got a nod from Kathy he continued.
" They had insulted him saying that he was a maniac, he wasn't fit to rule the kingdom, there was a certain darkness in him that he couldn't control at that time. They said stuff like ' can we still call him a prince, he's hopeless ' . Those words got the princes so angry they forbade anyone to ever call them prince or princess or your highness. The king's son are the strongest in our kingdom, but his first son is the strongest in the whole world. He's a nightmare, he kills without batting an eye and he loves killing. It was so serious to the extent that he was locked up in the castle, his powers drove him to kill and there was nothing anyone could do about it. So they build a place for him and forbids anyone to ever near that place. Because he was unfit to rule the kingdom, the king and queen was sad about that, they kept insisting that it was their fault he was like that. And so the prince was forced to live like he was dead for a very long time. He was sealed in the mansion they built for him. But he only got stronger as he grew up but being locked up didn't sit well with him though."
