Chapter 676 - A New Arcadina

Chapter 676 - A New Arcadina

As Landon prepares for his next moves, within Arcadina... William had already dealt with all of Alec’s loyal men.

The Capital had been buzzing non-stop for the past few weeks, as everyone felt like several miraculous scenes had taken place right before their very eyes.

"Goodness!

I can’t believe his highness Oden Barn had been alive all this while.

This is truly a joyous occasion for Arcadina."

"Aiyyyy!

I’m so happy that I lived to see this day.

Who would’ve thought that he would have thought that the truth of that matter would come to light now?"

"Hmhm...

I’m still very much shocked myself!

How could that tyrant Alec Barn kill his own father and brother, before pinning it all on the innocent Ferris family?

Luckily, the Ferris girl quickly took his highness Oden away just in time."

"That’s right!

The heavens were really on their side!

And now, they even have an heir to the throne.

But I wonder if he would be any good since he never grew up in the palace?"

"What the hell are you talking about?

Young Prince William personally led his men into the palace and dealt with those in his way majestically.

Not to mention the fact that he had also captured the tyrant Alec Barn.

So how could such a man not be up to the task?

And even if he wasn’t too great, I trust his highness Oden Barn.

So his son shouldn’t be any worse!"

"I agree!

Back in the day, his highness Oden Barn had a great vision that benefited us, peasant people.

So this kind of ruler has my support all the way!"

(?^?)

.

On the Capital’s streets, several people continuously talked about all the interesting events that had taken place within these few weeks.

Be it the nobles or even peasants, everyone couldn’t help but keep their eyes glued on the palace.

All nobles quickly sent their respect towards Oden and William, in hopes of gaining their recognition.

Because now, they didn’t know whether their political positions would stay put or not.

Even the advising members that used to give their opinions to Alec on political matters, didn’t know if they would still keep those positions at all.

After all, no one wants to lose their wealth or noble status just like that.

They knew very well about all the corrupt and devious things they had done behind the scenes.

So having a whole new ’government’ made them feel like all their dirty little secrets would soon come to light.

Additionally, William had personally announced that soon... he would be beheading Alec, as well as all the corrupt officials who either kidnapped, wrongly accused or murdered the innocent civilians constantly.

So how could they not panic?

Dammit!

Why them?

The thing that really made them want to cry, was the fact that ever since they had sent those letters weeks back... not one of them had gotten so much as a reply or an invite to the palace.

Weeks had gone by and no reply had come yet.

F***!

This alone made them feel like they were already royally screwed.

And as the days passed, the silence felt more and more tormenting to them.

They hadn’t slept or eaten a lot and seemed to be scared of any little thing that crossed their path.

Even the howling night wind made them feel like the world before them would soon disappear in a flash.

Their hearts twisted and sunk even further, as they visualized how their heads were going to roll pretty soon.

And every day, they would wake up early in the morning and ask if they had received any mail from the palace.

Jeez!

At this point, even a verbal message would make them feel safe.

But sadly, nothing of that sort had ever arrived.

They quickly started thinking of various escape options from the Capital.

Even if they had to venture into another empire, it was way better than staying here and getting beheaded.

Because in the minds, staying here meant waiting for death... while escaping at least gave them a 50% survival chance.

So of course they were taking it

With that, many of them had begun to make plans for their grand escape.

But who was William?

.

"Young master!

That’s the situation so far." Said a hooded man dressed in black.

"Hmmm...

Just make sure that those on the list don’t escape!"

"Yes, young master.

But what do we do about those who plan to score when they aren’t even on the list?"

"Heh!

If they’re running away when we aren’t even targeting them, then that’s their problem.

This shows that they have a guilty heart about the matter.

So if they want to go, let them go.

We will give them the illusion that they have successfully escaped from our grasps.

And this will only push them further and out of Arcadina as quickly as possible.

Times are changing, and so will this empire!

We must first take out the weeds on our flower bed, for the flowers to grow and bloom to their fullest potential.

As for the other corrupt men in power hoarding over the various cities and regions in Arcadina... taking care of them and appointing more upright people will be our next move for the entire year.

Arcadina needs to change!

Now go and do as you’ve been told.

"Yes, young master."

With that, the assassin seemed to blend into the darkness and had disappeared from William’s sight altogether.

William left their meeting point and slowly walked towards a massive courtyard that had over 2000 men guarding it.

The guards all knelt in unison when they saw him approaching.

"We welcome the young master!" They said in a very spirited tune.

"At ease men.

Tell me, how are they?"

"Young master, they have been provided for and their wounds have been properly treated too.

But from what the Baymardian military doctor said, they’re still weak and would need 2 more days of rest."

"Good!" William said, before walking in.

And who was he here to see?

Of course, he had come all the way here to see his so-called relatives.

That’s right!

He was here to see his aunties.
