"One, two, one, two, one, two-"

"SHUT UP!"

"Okay, okay! Sheesh Cynthia!"

"Glad you agreed, Winter."

"Now you're just butting in, Roger." Both Cynthia and Winter said at the same time. Roger facepalmed and murmured 'butts' under his breath. I softly laughed.

"That's the Nether Castle alright. Look, there's more patrol around." I interrupted.

"Speaking of which, I realized a smart strategy used by Cynthia here." Jason started.

"And that is?" Cynthia smiled.

"Well, you put small amounts of Withers and Wither Skeletons at the outer rings so it looks that you don't have much forces. However, when they approach the inner rings, a large company of Withers will be there." Jason explained as Vanessa clapped her hands in satisfaction.

"Actually, not only Cynthia does that. Me, Eve, Dan, Adam, and also Selena do it." Vanessa said.

"Which means, you'll have to follow what your mother did and use the same tactic. Its nearly unbeatable if you manage to place strong defenses to patch up the weak spots." Alesa explained.

"The best fighter a ruler will have is the knowledge of the army's weak spots." Adam said wistfully. The others nodded- myself included, of course.

"Hey, what's that thing up there?" Preston asked. We all turned our heads to glance at the shadow on one of the glowstone clusters. The shadow darted around whilst staying on the glowstone clusters for a bit, before dropping down near our group. It advanced towards us; seeming quite cautious.

"Who are you?" Eclipse called.

"Speak up, intruder. This is my realm; every inch! Report your reasons- clean those glowstone clusters you were treading on too." Cynthia said with a throwing knife in hand. I stifle a laugh, trying to get the picture of someone this mysterious scrubbing the glowstone clusters with a sponge and a bucket of soapy water.

"I mean no harm, my queen." The figure said in Selena's direction. The voice seemed like it was a male's. Selena mused a bit, before opening her mouth to speak.

"Is it you, Prince Spark? For the record, the Frost Kingdom has long been claimed by my settlers. It was abandoned- after all- so now its part of the Snow Palace's property." Selena said with such simplicity that I think someone like me couldn't even pull off. 'Prince Spark' nodded and replaced his sword in its sheath.

"Its you, Spark. Careful not to tread in the lava." Clarissa grunted.

"Hey, the lava's not just yours." Preston reminded.

"Uh, she's a secondary to Cynthia." Alesa shot.

"She technically owns all the lava in the overworld, so most likely the same in the other realms." Jason made his  point.

"Not the End's, we don't have normal lava. Its acidic Enderlava." Vanessa snapped.

"Actually, I don't mind about the lava. Its Clarissa's alright." Cynthia calmed everyone down.
