Nova was in his battle camp at their border with belgium .They had planned to go deeper into Belgium territory by morning before the news reached him .It was one of the palace guards who had come to tell him about it .As soon as the man gave the news ,he collapsed on his face and passed away immediately, he had run continuously for 6 hours to deliver the message.On hearing that ,Nova knew there was no way to win it ,he had a smaller troop than the whole army back at Berlin.He had 12000 men while Louis had 25000 men .Otto on the other hand had 57,000 men who were under his immediate command and more were being recruited .
He together with his men set on a journey to Louis' army at the northern border where he was holding against the Danish armies .As he rode there ,he wasn't aware of his fathers death .The guard who delivered the news just said that the assassins were in the castle and probably held the king hostage .
The journey was Short as it took half a day since the men walked continuously without rest .On arrival at the Northern border he gave Louis the news and he was infuriated .Despite Nova's guidance and begging for him to think critically he ignored it all .He was determined to win the battle against Ottos army who were by far more than their army combined .
Nova urged him to consider waiting a few days as they sent word to the Prussian king for help .His father had gifted him lots of land and gold that he had looted from the Middle East during his conquests .The king definitely had to repay them at some point and this was the when they needed that favor most .

"Hang the queen!" Shouted one man from the crowd.
"Cut off her head!" Yelled another angrily
"Send her to the gallows that self centered woman !" Shouted random voices from the crowd.
King Otto raised his arm and everyone went silent .He had manipulated everyone to be loyal to him such that people were willing to die on his command.
"Ladies and gentlemen!The queen is also Gods chosen, nobody has the right to kill her," said Otto trying to calm the crowd down.
"She killed the king !" Shouted one voice ,"to hell with her !" Added another .
Otto was getting a bit scared he didn't want to be ruled out as a weak and unjust king .He wanted to give to the people what they wanted.Take her away he commanded one of the men to take her away down to the dungeons .
"Otto you promised!"she yelled on her way out .Otto was conflicted but he pretended to be calm.As the queen was led to the dungeons,Ludwig followed behind closely .He had felt the queens touch the previous night and wanted to dip his hand in the honey jar once again. This time he was sure she would give in out of desperation .
Everyone in the crowd erupted in cheers and jeers as she got taken away .As they got into to castle, Ludwig held the guards shoulder and said to him softly .
"I'll take it from here soldier,"
"Affirmative sergeant ,all yours" said the man as he walked away back to the crowd .
"If it isn't the assassin himself"she sighed ,"Didn't get enough of royal touch i see,"she added before he grabbed her robe tighter.
He opened the door to the basement and pushed her inside roughly before following behind her and closing the door as they descended down the flight of stairs .When they arrived at the landing before continuing onto the second flight of stairs she turned to him and shrugged her shoulders away from his grip .He turned to hold her but she quickly held the flintlock on his waist threatening to pull it out and shoot him.
"Well aren't you the slowest assassin i ever saw ?" She said in a low seductive tone.
"Look again madame !" He smiled showing her his dagger which was dangerously close to her neck and would rip through her throat without hesitation.
"It longs for royal blood !" He said before putting it back in its sheath .He held her hands behind her back and pushed her forward as they walked down the second flight of stairs .
"That's no way to handle a lady,"she started ,"although"she took a deep breath,"I like it rough," she said looking deep into his eyes.He looked back at her eyes lustfully,it was as if they both knew what they wanted but they were both beating around the bush.
He put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him such that she looked up at him .He went in for a kiss but stopped .He knew she wanted him as much as he wanted her but wasn't sure if it was safe .
He quickly brushed off the thoughts from his mind and turned her around pushing her forward as they went down the stairs.
"You play hard to get assassin ,but you're not fooling me,I know what you want and I have it," she said as they walked down the stairs.
"Shut up sultry woman !" He said sternly, "you don't know what I want!"
"I'm definitely sultry ,what i possess can buy and sell Kingdom's ,once you have a taste you won't ever want anything else"
"You clearly don't know what you want woman ,do you?"
" I know what I want don't be such a child"
"Look forward felon,you almost had me killed !" He said angrily
"Hey i was only trying to survive,you would've done the same "
As they arrived at the dungeon door he quickly pushed her against the wall and pinned her hands above her head .He looked at her closely into her starry eyes.
"You won't control my lust as you please !"He then opened the door and pushed her inside and quickly followed her inside .He shut the door and pushed her against the wall. He kissed her neck as his fingers tried to unbutton her blouse .His hands trembled as he pulled the blouse off her shoulders and within no time he had her breasts in his hands and he ran amok over them .Fondling them like a hot piece of bun.
As he slid his hands to her lower back and started to lift her skirt she snatched the flintlock from his waist and jumping back she pointed it at him.
"Don't move dear,I know how to use it!"
She smiled as she walked to the exit .He wanted to take his dagger out bit she anticipated the move and asked him to stop .She demanded the keys in His pocket and left the dungeon immediately locking the door .He could hear her footsteps fade off up the stairs. He cursed his lust at that moment .This was the second time that she used his lust against him.
