A Tyrant and His Plan

[A/N: This chapter contains the events that took place in the Kingdom of Lockwood 14 years ago]

Few Days Before The War Between Lockwood and Galilee.

At The Castle of Lockwood

A tall brunette man walked swiftly past the corridors of his castle in search of someone. He goes deeper into his castle and the number of workers reduced progressively. He seemed to be anxious but maintained his composure as he strides towards a room. He pushed open the big doors and looked around frantically for someone. 

"What's the matter Kotaro?" A deep and chilly voice spoke out from a corner. Kotaro followed the voice and a tall built man with white hair sat on a chair and stared at Kotaro. Kotaro gulped. Something about the man's aura was frightening.

"Sensei Zen! Your plan might backfire. The Galilean troops seemed to be alert about our actions!" Kotaro said in a panic filled voice. 

"Hmm is that so?" The deep voice pitted Kotaro's stomach. "Well then we must not delay our plans any further. They must be preparing for a war which will happen in a month's time but we will strike them within a few days from now" Zen Shigaraki spoke with a menacingly authoritative voice as the aura around him grew darker. 

"That's ambitious but we need to prepare our troops as well!" Kotaro Shimura of Lockwood spoke, worried for his Kingdom's soldiers and safety of the people. 

"Have you no trust in me as your friend? I have made arrangements for a fight which won't be so official" Zen Shigaraki said as a smirk formed across his face.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Kotaro spoke up, confused. "I care for this Kingdom and especially you so I made some arrangements a few months back. A trained unit under my command- the most ruthless bunch I could find to absolutely demolish Galilee!" A chuckle arose from Zen as he patted Kotaro's back. 

"Why would you do something so questionable?" Kotaro spoke up as a responsible king.

"Why you ask? Because Galilee deserves such wrath and all those other kingdoms who come under the Sovereign Yagi! The son your mother had after she abandoned you. You raised this kingdom from dust! I merely want to protect what you built so difficultly. Am I wrong to do so?" Zen explained himself yet he didn't reveal his true intentions.

"To demolish such a peaceful kingdom with such brutality seems wrong to me!" Kotaro retaliated. "Have you already forgotten what I have told you a week before? Galilee is a brute's kingdom which pretends to be civilized. Besides their King has always been hostile towards this kingdom you built from dust! He is envious and that will take an ugly form in the future!" Shigaraki warned Shimura. "You cannot build without destroying" Zen added. 

"So trust me and we will attack by my rogue force in two days" Zen said as he kept his hand on Kotaro's shoulder. Kotaro was thrown in a spiral. All of what Zen told him is correct and he has always trusted him so why shouldn't he now?

"All right then... I allow your brute unit to wreak havoc on Galilee in two days" Kotaro declared. Zen smirked slightly. "That's the way to go", Zen said.
