Her Heart, His obsession

143. Darker Days Begin ( Part 2)

The throne room of castle of spears was dead silent. Dante's knights, Octavian and Diodora alongside his commanders were anticipating their master to unleash his wrath on them patiently. Most of them envied Demetrious for his absence since he was recovering from being punished by the looks of it.

Dante was not pleased at all. There was no doubt about it. The waves of dissatisfaction had his commanders especially shaking and swallowing hard. His commanders knew enough about their master to know that more people had to pay a big price for what had happened. They knew that Lady Athena's disappearance was an occurrence that their master was not going to let go that easily. Demetrius may have been condemned to hours of torment for not disclosing his information on Lady Athena's whereabouts but they knew that was not enough. The fact that he was a Ronas and also Lady Leona's and Lord Eros's requests for reduction of his punishment had saved Demetrious. So now they were hoping their master wasn't going to choose any of them to hold any of them responsible and punish them for his beloved's escape to satisfy his desire for revenge.

After leaving his commanders trembling and waiting long enough, Dante looked from his throne at his knights standing in military stance next to his commanders who were kneeling on the floor after they were summoned. Dante roared " You may get up and you are permitted to make eye contact."

As his commanders rose he looked coldly at his commanders and knights and spoke "Greetings to all my commanders. I wish to welcome you to this meeting and of course the begining of a new era in our history. I wish to welcome the newest members of my Ronas army. My cousin Lady Diodora is added to my Knights who you report to beside me. She will be working as my Guardian Knight alongside my Prosecuter Knight Demetrious and my Warrior Knight Octavian. Her role would be as the expert in setting up defence and guarding our borders." He then turned to his cousin "Welcome Cousin." He then turned to his commanders again and addressed them "Also I have decided to appoint commander Sabrina along side commander Edwin under the supervision of senior commander Edward at Magic Science division. Commander Sabrinas resistance under torment by Xavier and Xanthos has impressed me. That was of course before I granted her amnesty and now that she is commander Edward's blood match, her loyalty would be inevitable unless she would want her blood match to mourn her death. So I decided to grant her this position with out any official interview."

Dante then conjured golden spheres with keys inside and waved his hands and each commander and knight had one key "Today as you know is an exeption and I have granted access to all to this ground floor of my castle. But it wont last. You will need keys to enter from now on. These are your passes for entering the ground floor of my castle. You have offices here all on the ground floor where you would be spending writing reports and keeping your reports. You will be allowed to commute to their divisions of course as you please but I want all of you here every day at least for one hour in the morning from the end of curfew time at sunrise for one hour. that is the minimum time you would be spending here. However one of you has a different arrangement. Tiberious would be given a tower to live in and an office. So he no longer needs protection by my cousin Lady diodora since its impossible for anyone except me to break into his secure tower where I will place him."

Dante then smirked " Now, lets get to the main point in this meeting. From today onwards the Ronas rules would be enforced in a new stricter approach and you as my top commanders would be overseeing the changes useing the resources in your divisions and of course with collaboration with senior enforcers Marcus and Alessia." He then waved his hands and a large screen was conjured in front of the commanders which showed the map of the world where territories under the Arkansan rule were highlighted.

Dante spoke "Look closely at our ever expanding territory. We now fully govern, the western, southern, eastern, central and of course northern American territories and all parts of the Arctic Mountains Land best known as Canada. The Aztec holy land is also ours too. The only spot we need to conquer is of course Alaska which I would have the pleasure of burning to the ground when the time comes. Now I brought you here to explain how this system works now and how it would work from now on. As you know Ronas laws are being practiced in all these territories and our enforcers are acting as Marshals overseeing the transition of these territories with collaboration of the former leaders of these territories to totally loyal territories. The former leaders of these territories would be attending my commemorations tonight to give me their loyalty. But we have a surprise for them tonight."
