Steal The Male Lead

"Father, you asked for me?" Victor opened the door and entered in. He stood to the side, awaiting Allen's words as his face showed a serious expression.

Allen looked up and upon his normally smirky face, a twinge of worry and distress was shown. It was hard to imagine what had made him like this, especially since Victor knew him as that guy that was dangerous but also sarcastic.

"Come here," Allen slowly said, his hand waving Victor over to his desk.

With his brows furrowed, Victor took fast steps towards Allen's side as he peered at the paper within Allen's hands. His eyes quickly skimmed the paper, then his eyes widened.

"Y Nation is planning an attack on us?!" Victor's voice was with both shook and surprise, his emotions unable to be hidden.

Hearing Victor's realization, Allen solemnly nodded. His usually glistening eyes had darkened with concern. It wasn't that he was afraid of anything, he was worried for his husband, Rain. This was his home, his nation, and now it was planning to attack them. Allen wasn't afraid of anything, but the worry he had for his husband outweighed anything. Knowing Rain, he would be devastated, and that was what Allen feared most.

"But why? Isn't this Pa's home, shouldn't they be in an alliance with us?" Victor was confused and his voice couldn't mask his worry and distress.

Allen sighed, his breath heavy. "That's what I want to know. Even though I had already suspected that a nation would attack us in the near future, I never would've thought that it would be Y Nation. I'm not worried for anything else, but I'm afraid that Rain will not take this well."

Hearing Allen's answer, Victor merely knitted his brows even more. His brain was wiring plans and answers as to why they would be going against them. In the end, he could only shake his head. "If Y Nation has decided to attack, it can only mean that they have a different nation helping them out. Although, they should know that attacking us would not benefit them, so why are they being so foolish? I had originally thought that the king of Y Nation was smarter than this, but it only seems like this is their capability."

Allen massaged his temple, he closed his eyes. "This won't be much of a bugger for us, but I'm only worried about Rain. Plus, Y Nation would never do this, they truly loved and treasured Rain."

Suddenly, Victor's eyes brightened. "Then it can only mean that Y Nation has already been secretly taken over. Y Nation has never done any movement like this in the past before, they have no reason to do so. Right now, the nation that we are currently having troubles with is N Nation. If they have already gotten word of my return, then they must be figuring out a way to get me to join the battle and then kill me off. Since they can't make a move out of the blue, they must've taken over Y Nation and secretly buried the news. This way, they can wage war without busting their identity."

"N Nation, I seriously hate their king," Allen spoke his words with extreme hate. "Since I've taken the throne, their king has always been a pain in the back. I won't be surprised if they have done what you said, their nation has never been one for honest actions. They like plotting behind your backs the most."

Victor listened to Allen's words before suddenly offering an idea. "Father, do you think it would be alright if I enter the war as a general? This way, I can hide my identity and enter the war and use my ability to manipulate the soldiers on their side. In this way, we will have less casualties on both sides and no blood needs to be shed."

Allen carefully thought about Victor's offer. "Alright then, I'll let you do so. Though, I hope that you won't be so careless as you have done so in your missions before. Just make sure to talk about this to your Pa and Lucius first. I'll let you do as you wish but tell them, else they'll bite my hands off. I'll gather some generals and tell our plan before secretly moving. I'll also try to convince your Pa."
