Chapter 117: Plan of the Coup
Seeing that Fike had not spoken for a while, Zakaithus continued.
“Big brother… why… are you not saying anything? Is It… did I say sothing wrong?”
Fike hurriedly corrected him.
“No, you’re right. That is indeed Prince Kampus’ plan.”
“But…”
Fike quickly changed the topic.
“What about the spies you’ve planted in the capital, Rowei? Are they all settled?”
Hearing Fike’s question, Zakaithus replied without any hesitation.
“Big brother, don’t worry… A few months ago… These spies have already… already entered the palace… and among them…”
Seeing Zakaithus hesitating, Fike urged him on.
“Brother, we’re brothers, are we not?. If you have sothing to say, just spit it out. Your brother isn’t an outsider! Right?”
Zakaithus continued in a daze.
“Now… Now the old king’s doctor beside him, the National Master… the third young master… They are all our people now.”
“The third young master?”
Fike asked, puzzled. However, Zakaithus continued to ramble on.
“All… all the elites of the Heavenly King’s Palace in the city are gathered…”
“Gathered where?”
Fike continued urging him on in anticipation.
“Gathered in… the Imperial Capital’s auditorium… on the north mountain of the palace.”
Fike’s heart grew with excitent after hearing this, and he continued to pour more wine for Zakaithus.
“My good brother, you’ve really helped your brother a lot!”
Zakaithus responded, almost completely drunk.
“What… What…? This? We… We’re brothers, after all!”
Fike reached a hand toward the evil blade that Zakaithus was still holding tightly as he reassured the drunk man.
“Brother, don’t worry! I’ll improve the quality of this weapon! Leave it to !”
Zakaithus was overjoyed, and had no doubts as he imdiately let go of the sword in his hand, passing it to Fike.
Fike thought for a mont before asking again.
“Then when will you be attacking the Imperial City of Rowei?”
“Just… just seven days later… In seven days, when the old king goes to… goes to the North Mountain’s auditorium to worship… that will be the day… we attack the city.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he hit his limit, and the wine glass he had held in his hand crashed on the floor.
Seeing that Zakaithus had completely lost consciousness, Fike sneered as he left with the evil blade.
…
Returning to the Accord, Fike found that Lan Xi was still not asleep, and had instead been waiting anxiously for his return.
Seeing him back safe and sound, Lan Xi’s worried heart finally settled down.
“I’m fine,” Fike said as she pulled him into a tight embrace.
“Do you know how worried I was? I’m glad you ca back safely.”
Fike hugged her back as he kissed her forehead affectionately.
After a brief mont of affection, he asked.
“Lan Xi, do you know the Evil God’s Headquarters?”
Lan Xi shook her head at the question.
Seeing that she was unfamiliar, he continued.
“Then, do you know about the Heavenly King’s Palace’s plans in the Capital of Rowei?”
This piqued Lan Xi’s attention.
“What did you find out over there? Tell quickly!”
Fike’s expression suddenly beca serious as he explained.
“The Heavenly King’s Palace plans to stage a coup in the Capital of Rowei in seven days to seize the king’s power.
“This Zakaithus intends on becoming king himself, overthrowing the dynasty!”
Hearing Fike’s words, Lan Xi’s expression changed as well.
Fike continued.
“They plan to launch attacks on the other cities in the Lieluo Empire as well after this, eventually engulfing the entire world of Miracle.
“I also heard that the people from this Evil God’s Headquarters seem to be the ones who are behind the invasion of the Exotic Beasts, and the people from the Heavenly King’s Palace need their help in order to succeed with the coup.”
Lan Xi’s expression had grown into one of fear.
“Then what should we do? We’re going to the capital tomorrow. Have you thought of a way to stop this already?”
“Actually, I’m not sure myself either. The people from the Heavenly King’s Palace have already infiltrated the Capital of Rowei. Even the palace is brimming with their spies.
Fike suddenly rembered sothing.
“Oh, that’s right!
“Do you know who the third young master is?”
“Third Young Master?”
Lan Xi was puzzled.
“Could it be my third brother?”
“Your third brother?”
Fike asked.
“That’s right, the third prince of the Lieluo Empire, Luo Minzhang.”
“Luo Minzhang? What a strange na!”
Fike remarked.
Lan Xi continued.
“Third Brother’s birth mother was a woman from the East, which is where the na Luo Minzhang originated from.
“Will Third Brother also be playing a part in the Heavenly King Palace’s coup?”
Lan Xi asked.
“Maybe, but I’m not completely sure that this Third Young Master refers to your third brother.”
Fike replied.
“I rember that in the palace, Third Brother often insulted servants and toyed with the lives of animals. Will he really be part of this?”
Noticing Lan Xi’s crestfallen expression, Fike quickly changed the topic.
“Lan Xi, look at this evil weapon I nicked from Zakaithus!”
As he said this, he procured the Hercules’ Fury.
Lan Xi’s eyes lit up as she beca completely fixated on the extraordinary blade.
“The color! The material! The texture! It’s a perfect magic weapon! It’s even comparable to your own demonic sword!”
Lan Xi fawned over him happily.
“How did you get it? Did you fight with him?”
She warily began scanning for wounds on Fike’s body again.
Fike quickly waved his hand to dismiss the notion.
“Of course I didn’t, I simply managed to deceive him, and tricked him out of his divine weapon.”
Lan Xi excitedly hugged him again after hearing this.
“As expected of the man that I, Lan Xi, have taken a fancy to. You’re really amazing!”
She raised her head as she looked into Fike’s eyes.
“But, my dear, will you intervene? Are you going to stop those people from the Heavenly King’s Palace from doing whatever they want in the capital?
“Although I don’t have any feelings for Father, blood is thicker than water. I ca here to see him, after all…”
Fike caressed her head in his arms and comforted her gently.
“Don’t worry. Since I already know their general direction and plans, I will not let them go!
“I’ll eliminate the crisis in the Capital of Rowei!
“Consider it a betrothal gift for my future father-in-law!”
Fike smiled as he looked back at Lan Xi.
She was blushing, having felt a little embarrassed by his words.
Fike hugged her and kissed her passionately as they moved toward the bed.
“Do you want to go again?”
Lan Xi asked.
“I didn’t have enough fun just now!”
