Meanwhile at the city of Oridia, King Stalin sat in his comfortable throne in a room full of gold, while his men were decimated by the Cult of Nousaurong. Despite that, Stalin insisted that his men should stay focused on eliminating the Drow Community. Prince Lionhearted stood 50 feet away, scowling at his father, wishing he could get his priorities straight. Perhaps Half-Uncle John is right, he thought.

He watched on a map as a vast majority of the most prosperous Freedland cities were wiped out by Murguol's armies, and Stalin did absolutely nothing about it! All Lionhearted could do was watch those get massacred by the Cult! What was even worse about this was that most of the cities that were being slaughtered weren't even against Stalin! As a matter of fact, the cities that were being destroyed were actually in favor of Stalin's rule! Yet he still didn't bother helping out!

Lionhearted was super aggravated!

He furiously approached his father.

"FATHER, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!!!!!!!!!!", yelled Lionhearted.

"Isn't it obvious?! I'M MAKING ORIDIA GREAT AGAIN, MY SON!!!!!!!", said Stalin.

Lionhearted was sick of hearing that.

"OH REALLY, HOW ARE YOU MAKING IT GREAT?!!!!!!!!! HOW CAN YOU MAKE ORIDIA STRONG WHEN HALF OF IT IS BEING WEAKENED BY THIS SECOND!!!!!!!!!", yelled Lionhearted.

Stalin got furious with his son's angry tone. He threw a golden glass at him.

"SILENCE, YOU INSOLENCE!!!!!!!!! DON'T FORGET WHY YOU'RE HERE!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE MY FAVORITE CHILD, AND MY ONLY CHILD AT THAT!!!!!!!!! THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU'RE MY FAVORITE CHILD IS BECAUSE YOU ARE MOST LIKELY TO PASS DOWN MY LEGACY WHEN I DIE!!!!!!!!!! LET'S NOT FORGET THAT MY STRONGEST AND MOST POWERFUL CHILD HAD DISCIPLINARY ISSUE, AND GOT BANISHED!!!!!!!! DON'T FOLLOW HIS FOOTSTEPS!!!!!!!!! IT IS YOUR DUTY AS MY PRINCE TO RESPECT ME, YOUR KING, AND EXECUTE MY VISIONS!!!!!!!! AM I CLEAR?!!!!!!", yelled Stalin.

"You didn't hear me! Father, half of the Freedlands have been invaded by Dark Abyss, and you haven't fought back yet! WHY?!!!!!", yelled Lionhearted.

"Why?! It's because my priority right now is eliminating the Drow Community and my pathetic half-brother! I NEED ALL MY MEN HUNTING THEM DOWN!!!!!!!", said Stalin.

"Yeah, as funny as you say that, the Cult is attacking those people right now!", said Lionhearted.

"THAT'S BECAUSE JOHN AND THE DROW COMMUNITY HAVE CONSPIRED WITH THEM AGAINST US!!!!!!!! WE CAN'T LET THEM LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!", yelled Stalin.

"Did you ever think that Shadowking's playing you for a fool?! He could be moving you as if you were a pawn on a chessboard!", said Lionhearted.

"I'M NO PAWN THAT CAN BE MOVED BY ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!! I AM AS IMMOVABLE AS THE CENTER OF THE MULTIVERSE, AND I HAVE NO EQUAL IN POWER!!!!!!!!! I AM THE STRONGEST!!!!!!!! I WILL ERADICATE THE DROW COMMUNITY, AND THAT WRETCHED JOHN ZAR AND HIS WRETCHED DROW PET, YECTCHKU MOLOCHSON!!!!!!!! DESTROYING THEM IS WORTH ALL THE BLOOD WE CAN SPEND!!!!!!!", said Stalin.

"WHAT ABOUT MURGUOL, HUH?!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY HERE RIGHT NOW, AND WE HAVE AN ADVANTAGE AGAINST THEM!!!!!!!", said Lionhearted.

"And what would that be?!", said Stalin.

"THEY'VE COME TO OUR SIDE OF THE BOARDER!!!!!!!! WE MUST TAKE THAT ADVANTAGE AND STOP THE DARK ABYSS IN ITS TRACKS BY TAKING THAT EVIL FORTRESS DOWN!!!!!!! WHY AREN'T YOU MAKING THAT YOUR PRIORITY?!!!!!!! YOU MUST BE EITHER A TRAITOR OR A COWARD!!!!!!! WE NEED A KING WHO FACES FACTS, AND YOU'RE NOT IT!!!!!!!!!!", yelled Lionhearted.

"That's exactly what HE said! That's exactly what YOU said! ET TU, LIONHEARTED?! DO YOU PLAN TO CONSPIRE AGAINST ME AS WELL!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE CORRUPTING ORIDIA'S GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!! YOU JOB IS TO SERVE ORIDIA, TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!", said Stalin.
