1: 52 P.M
The night was silent and slightly windy.
Within the palace of Terique, several people, slaves, stable boys and maids were already snoring their butts off from fatigue.... as each day in the palace was quite a hectic one.
As for the guards, one should know that the main reason why queen Kamara and her son could stay on the throne for so long... was because Nopline had switched most of the guards in and around the palace, as well as the Capital city.
Essentially, because those who had previously laboured here we're still extremely loyal to her husband King Micheal... she was sure that hey would never work for her.
Hence she had them dispatched out of the Capital city.
So everyone within the city was either placed by her or her brother
.
The guards who surrounded the palace were all stationed strategically around the place.
But alas... Some stood there while sleeping, while others ate and joked with their friends.
Nonetheless, there were still those who took their jobs very seriously, as they patrolled about the place diligently.
And at the same time, there were some who were doing some sneaky activities with the makes in hiding as well.
In short, everyone within the palace had their own private agendas for the night.
But unbeknownst to them, danger was just lurking around the corner right in hindsight.
.
Landon and a few soldiers were already within the city itself..... and were currently hiding just outside the massive palace estate.
And while they were in hiding, the rest of their rades were way in the air waiting for their signal.
During the day, they had sneak attacked some of the daytime guards who were leaving the palace for whatsoever reasons.
Maybe their shifts were over and they were going for a drink at the pub, or maybe they were just going to meet someone outside.... Or something else.
But for sure when they had left the palace and had gone into the city, some of the soldiers had followed them and had put them to sleep real quick.
They were then tied up and left scattered all around the city in hiding.
So right now, Landon and the soldiers on the ground were all wearing the official guard uniform for the royal palace of Terique.

"Hey, Leofrick!....
I heard that master will soon e to the Capital again.
Is that true?"
"Hmhm!..... It's true!
Master Nopline would definitely e again in a few week's time.
And for sure.... It has something to do with the 3rd queen, Queen Jasmine."
"Eh?..... But didn't they say that the third queen was licked up because she attempted to kill queen Kamara?"
"Let me tell you a little secret..... My brother works as a guard just outside queen Jasmine's cell.
And from what he says, things are not always as they seem?"
"What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, the reason why queen Jasmine was locked up..... has something to do with our master.
Our master had taken a fancy on her years back.... And now he wants her."
"But..... But... Isn't she already married to King Micheal with 2 children?"
"Tsk!... Do you think that the master cares about that?
I heard that he's ing over to annul her marriage, and then forcefully wed her in secret.
Who knows.... He might even lock her up and take her to his estate at the end of it all."
"Good for our master!
He's finally getting married.
Hmph!... Who asked Queen Jasmine and her family to be weak?"
"_"
.
As the palace guards continued their discussions... time swiftly passed by with the soldiers on the hot air balloons continuously looking at Landon's direction with their binoculars, while preparing to launch their ammunition.
And soon, it was time for the show to begin.
"That's our master for you!
He's always fearless no matter what.
What a guy!"
"Shhhhh!.... Do you hear that?
