Blood Royals Bonus Book: Prince Adryan & the Throne

Chapter 32: Plots

👑 Treytan's POV
"That is long is enough." I laughed when I extended my hand to receive the phone. Adryan hates to be kept waiting. He called a while ago and I ignored it.

"This is General Adryan Kaelan. I want to speak to my father."

"General Adryan Kaelan. That sounds almost believable. What do you want son?"

"Call off the missile strike. You don't need to destroy an entire base just to get back at me."

I have to. They are all rotten. They all have to die including Adryan. It pains me but such defiance is infectious. The whole kingdom will revolt against me if I do not take drastic action!

"You make me sound petty."

"You are petty!" He has such an explosive temper.

Two sons as different as day and night. The other one is passive. He is seated quietly, observing us.

"Adryan, you are at my mercy. Watch your tone. I offered you a truce. I wrote to you and asked that we meet at the border of Saine Neane and Ebrium but you snubbed me. So here we are. You are now begging for my attention."

"If I die, you die too." I frowned at his words. "Taof, I need you to carry out a fire order." I sat up straight. "...Cray Thera. Aim for the Upper Sanctum, particularly the palace."

"You can't do that!" I slammed my palm on the table.

"We can both meet in hell father. Fire away."

He hanged up.

My Courtier and Ember Adair stared at me, waiting to be informed.

"He is firing back at us. He is firing at the palace." We all broke into a panic except Relian. He is still seated and wearing the calmest face. Ember hurried to the window.

"Maybe he's bluffing Sire."

"Adryan is destructive! He doesn't know empty threats! Call the General of the Phoenix and get me in touch with Titan."

They busied themselves. "Phoenix." Ember passed me a phone.

"Dismiss the fire order! Now!"

"Too late sir, we already fired."

I hanged up and took the phone from the Courtier. "Captain, dismiss the fire order."

"Sir, I'm afraid it's too late."

I hanged up.

I sat down.

"If Adryan survives this, we have a problem on our hands." Relian informed us. "May I have a private audience with my father?"

Ember and the Courtier excused themselves. I faced my son. "Are you going to condemn me?"

"I believe that nothing good results from war. There are far better intelligent wats to resolve matters. I am not immortal. Adryan is the next one in line to the throne and you may have killed him. It takes a special kind of a fool to break one of the two eggs he has in his basket. Congratulations father, you may as well put an end to this bloodline." He broke into an applause as the seriousness of it settled into me. "Congratulations."

If anything happens to Relian when Adryan is dead, there is no geir to the throne.

Selina's POV
It's quiet and it's dark.

We had some light until two loud explosion knocked out the bulbs. Now we are quietly wondering what is going on up there. I know what is happening. I heard about the missiles. The others don't know. Like Taof said, it's a need to know situation. The only problem is thr uncertainty above us. The Base has obviously been hit; twice. Sand has been sipping into the cracks of the door above us. The ground shook when the impact hit.
