What did he think?
Hehehehehehe~
Aje chuckled lightly. "Young master... With the chaos spreading, the one called William Barn must be in panic. An entire village was burned under his former name, which is enough to spark public outrage... For now the people don't know who the ghostly Prince is... But once they do, one can imagine the rage and disappointment they will feel."
"Indeed..."
It was just as Aje explained. Don't compare the people of today to the people who lived in Alec's reign. Change has made them elevate their expectations, which only spelled trouble for Wiliam once this when things go crazy.
Sebastien was in an excellent mood.
His people had time ahead, and had already begun their work on a small village, not too far from the Capital.
The village was burned to the ground, with almost all of its population wiped out. The only ones left were those who told the dreadful tale of the man in a mask, who led his subordinates to kill their people.
The mask was identical to one of William's own back in his former days.
No one knows who this Ghostly Prince is... But they are already gnashing their teeth at his many murderous escapades.
Yes. They said many, because at present, there was a sign carved out of a field close to another far away village. The sign showed that the bastard had marked the village and would one day come to kill its people.
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Just like that, the story of the Ghostly Prince began spreading to nearby towns, villages, and cities.
Some said he had 2 heads and teeth as long as a wolf's. Others claimed to have seen him on dark nights, drinking the blood off his victims' necks. And William who bloody hell knew he didn't do these things, would of course be offended and panicked.
Though he was innocent, many might not think so if he didn't handle the issue right.
There was a powerful enemy out there doing this. But who? Who? Who could it be?
As of now, William was still unsure of who his true enemy was.
Hehehehehehe~
Sebastien smiled, as his eyes focused on the mesmerizing flames that danced wildly.
"Tell me, Aje... Should the matter get completely out of hand, what do you think the people will do?"
"Detest William, thinking he was the same as their former ruler."
Their disappointment might lead to a revolt.
Rudolf nodded. In agreement. The difference between Alec and William was that no one ever expected much from Alec. But with William, the hope he gave them during these past years was enough to allow them to choose from a platerer of new jobs, get through illnesses, and lead better lives.
With him, they expected a new Arcadina. So to see him revert to Alec's ways would be a big blow to them.
And like sheep without a Sheppard, they would need someone to rally them up, wanting another ruler on the throne.
After tasting today's sweetness, no one wanted to go back to the days of Alec Barn.
Rudolf flashed his yellowish teeth brightly. "Yes, yes, yes! That's it! All we need to do is keep playing the Ghostly Prince card correctly, and we'll definitely be able to beat this guy fast!"
"It's not enough." Sebastian calmly added, as he slowly reached for a bottle.
He had to admit that he truly enjoyed the many Baymarfian beverages on his table. But for now, he was interested in something they called 'Chateau Latour.' It was a wine he liked very much.
Poof!
The bottle's lid popped off, and he poured himself a glass
"What we've done isn't enough.... Tell me Aje... How far do you think the news should travel by now?"
Sebastien shook his head. "Not far enough for what we want."
There were so many made-up stories spread among the people. But so far, the news has only reached about 5% of Arcadina's population.
Mind you, Arcadina's landmass alone was as big as a few continents in this world.
It was incredibly high, meaning the news had to take a while to get around. Again, its population was vast. So the other 95% of people who hadn't heard the news yet, were still William's supporters.
Yes. They made a big splash in the village region near the capital. But it wasn't enough if they wanted to get things moving.
Nonetheless, it was a good start, seeing as it was their first move against William.
Sebastien wasn't worried, seeing as they still had plenty of time before the organization's deadline neared.
At present, they were in a city a month and a half away from the capital.
"For now, we settle in... All Ghostly Prince raids will continue. In the meantime, we wait for news from Ghost."
Soon, the number one Assassin in Arcadina, would be squared off against his mighty Ghost, Veinitta's #3 Assassin.
It would be a showdown to die for. Too bad he couldn't be there to watch it unfold.
Soon there was a knock on their door.
Who?
"My Lord, this subordinate purchased the daily newspapers as instructed."
"Good. You may leave."
William stared at the paper, his eyebrow raised high. Although he wasn't very interested in that cousin in Baymard, he still kept an eye on it.
'Dear cousin... If you're smart, you won't get involved in this way between William and I.' A puny and weak person like Landon was no match for him.
"So, are we done?" Rudolf sprang up again like a cheetah.
"I just got the latest season of Game of Thrones. So goodbye."
Rudolf hummed happily, while taking big steps towards the door
"It's with me." Sebastian calmly stated, while sipping on his wine. In Rudolf's heart, he experienced a wave of unpleasant fireworks when he heard him say something casual.
"You-You-You-You....Why is something I paid and sent for with you? Didn't I send my own people to retrieve it?"
Do you know how difficult it is to find the latest season around here?
