A few days previously
Etho was asleep on Technoblade's couch, and Technoblade and Grian were at the table talking.
"Are you sure? Do you need to get your friends involved in this?" asks Techno, quietly, as to not wake Etho up.
"Positive. I have to go see if they'll help me. If they don't, so be it. I need all the help I can get."
"But they'll be listeners in a kingdom full of watchers. They'll be brutally murdered on the spot."
"I've got a plan. I can't say it, but they'll meet me at the palace."
"Why in the world have you been so secretive? Do you not trust me?"
"I do trust you, much more than I think you realize. Trust me, Techno, I wouldn't be leaving Etho with you if I didn't. Believe me, but this is something I have to be secretive to keep quiet... just in case."
"Fine. I understand. Go do you what you need to do. Etho will be safe with me until you return."
"Thank you, so, so, so much, Techno."
"No worries. Do you know when you'll be back?"
"No, but hopefully tomorrow, if not the next day. I have to give a briefing, which will be today, and a training, which will be tomorrow. Hopefully, I can have my advisors reveal themselves today."
"Okay. I wish you luck."
"Thanks, Techno. For everything."
"Don't mention it. It's nothing to help out my admin's brother."
"Seriously, though, thank you. What do you want for payment?"
"Don't mention it. Payment? You being on the throne instead of some snob who doesn't belong on it. That's payment enough."
"You don't want potatoes?"
"Aaaaaaannnnd a stack, no 2, stacks of potatoes." Techno says with a smirk.
"Alright. I've just sent out the summons, so I'm going to head out and get ready."
"Good luck. Etho and I will be awaiting your return."
Grian waves, and teleports to his room in the Listener Kingdom. He goes to a room next to his advisor's room, and through a screen, sees Bdubs, Joel, Scott, and BigB arrive. Grian wonders where Jimmy and Martyn are, and overhears BigB telling Bdubs that they were stuck in a server-wide meeting. Bdubs tells BigB that he was in one of those when the summons came in. Tim and Martyn show up, hears the "hello's" and hears Joel say that they were now waiting on him. Grian takes a deep breath as he walks out of the room, and he gets ready to walk into his meeting room.
"Well... here goes nothing. Let's do this."
