Cold Blood and Icy Hearts: Tale of Caine Conven (Discontinued)

Chapter 29: Mass Mutiny Impending?! The Lovebirds Argue!

As John and Morrigan arrived back at the castle, they walked into the throne room to see Raymond, Rosalina and Felicia standing around and talking. They both hide behind separate pillars and begin eavesdropping on the conversation between the three, though they only catch the end of the conversation.

Felicia: "I couldn't find him anywhere. Not his and Bunni's room, not Noelle's room, and not Brooke's room! Where could he be?"

Raymond: "Keep looking! We have much to discuss with him. Mostly regarding his plan on the invasion. John needs to hear it, but regardless, I need to know who goes where. It was not entirely clear since he decided to throw the plan into turmoil when some fucking morons who don't understand the rules of the world chose to fucking defy him and say he can not sacrifice himself!!"

Rosalina: "Ray, honey! That's over with. You and I both know if something would have happened to Zane, you wouldn't have forgiven yourself! So, let's leave it all in the past and move onto something more important, like the squadrons and the invasion plan."

Raymond: "Yes, my love. You are correct, we must focus on the plan. The...lack of a sacrifice might make things more difficult, but nevertheless we can make do."

Rosalina: "That's the spirit! Continue looking for him!"

She says before Felicia left the room, heading past the two hidden figures in the pillars. She stopped for a moment when she thought she sensed something but when she turned around, she saw nothing. She sighed and walked out of the castle to find him, her nightmare from the morning prior replaying in her head, as she clutched her body tightly. John and Morrigan slid down the pillars and continued to listen to Raymond and Rosalina speaking.

Raymond: "I do not trust them, my dear. I don't like the way they all followed Zane. I fear there may be a mutiny occurring."

Rosalina: "I see, my love. But, you can not control others. Not by giving them free will. You must be a little more...compelling in your argument."

She says as she twirls her finger in the air slightly, while looking at Raymond with a smile.

Raymond: "Rose, you think it's time to compel them and leave?"

Rosalina: "If it puts you at ease, and stops whatever mutiny you are expecting, then yes! It would probably be for the best, regardless."

Morrigan, under her breath: "Touch me or my friend and I will end you both!"

John: "Morrigan! Relax!"

Raymond: "Well, then, we shall compel that as they fall asleep tonight. We leave in the morning."

Morrigan: "LIKE HELL YOU WILL!"

She says as she steps out from behind the pillar. John stepped out following her, with a nervous look on his face before he waved nervously.

Raymond: "So, you want to tell me what the meaning of this is?"

Morrigan: "I heard the whole conversation! You aren't going to try and bitch me and my friend out of this plan! I am getting my revenge, with or without you!"

Rosalina: "You try and lay a finger on him, and it will be the last thing you do!"

John: "Shut the hell up and mind your business! Morrigan, leave those two be! You don't need to prove anything! Besides, we trash this throne room, Brooke is going to be mad!"

Morrigan: "You two, go outside and this will be handled like adults! NOW!"

Raymond: "With pleasure."

Rosalina: "Hmph"

John: "Morrigan, listen, you can NOT do this! They will jump you, and Zane will fault me!"
