Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Eyes of Respect
Morgan who is famous in his city as a sage was content with the change of attitude, and he said, "There is only one person who can control the army of the Assyrian Empire and help us kill Dracule, and that man is Darius." Morgan's words made the room turn silent, but then an uproar broke out, few believed that Darius would betray Dracule.
As soon as these words came out, the Emperor of Kushite shook his head, "If you've had said anyone else would betray Dracule, I would believe you, but Darius can not, he is Dracule most trusted Subordinate, and, it is he, who help Dracule to obtain the sword, Excalibur. How can he betray Dracule when he did not desire the power within the sword?"
"Yes, Darius and Dracule 'were' good friends, and his coup was successful, thanks to Darius." Prince Charles said.
"Indeed! Darius is the only minister who was not killed, and that shows that Dracule trust in Darius." The Bald king said, his voice steaming with hope, believing is the bearded lad words.
"You're right, it was Darius who helped Dracule get Excalibur." Morgan had no objection to the words of the crowd and remain calmed, "But you must not forget that Darius was the only one other than Dracule who had come into contact with this Holy sword." Morgan paused, the lords waited for him, impatiently, he smirked and continue "Such an artefact had slipped away from the hand of Darius, anyone else would have taken the chance to become a god chosen king, especially a mere general like Darius, he had the opportunity to practice the world power within the sword, but because he trusted in Dracule he did not fall into temptation. If he had kept Excalibur in his own hands, perhaps the man we would be fighting would be Darius, and the man to unify the continent would be him."
With Morgans words, they started to believe more in his word, those prior objections immediately disappeared, they look at him with eyes of approval.
"And there are many benefits to reign in Darius, he is the most trusted man next to Dracule, the most powerful in the army, and with his help, Dracule downfall will be much easier," Morgan said, voice loud enough for the lord at the back to hear.
Mordan word is true, because of Dracule bloody purge of ministers, which led to Darius rapid growth in power and he soon became the second man in command of the Assyrian Empire, with great influence not only over the intelligence department but also over the internal affairs and the army.
Mordan became the best candidates, the lords, princes and kings at the meeting began to discuss in detail, they were all elites, with educational background and life experience more than others, they soon came up with a workable solution.
How to rope in Darius, if it is not successful, what to do? how to get rid of Dracule, all these things, the counsel of the one hundred nation alliance have taken into account. Among them, Morgan would be the one to bring in Darius, as of his request, the kings of the various countries, we're very happy to agree. Since the idea was put forward by him, he should go practice what he preaches.
There is a reason why Morgan is so brave or, suicidal. He's an ambitious man, and he longed for power, power of the Ancient king Author. If he is to be defeated by Dracule, he feared that the great powers of Excalibur would be monopolized by Dracule, and his dream of power will be just that, a dream. He would live and die as a lord of a small city-state.
But if they win, and he contributed greatly in the process of killing Dracule, he would not only have made a name for himself on the continent, but would also make new allies from the various lord, and kings. It was for this reason that Morgan went in alone, intending to convince Darius himself, and contributing more than others, who knows maybe Darius is open for friendship, making a friend in powerful places is the best ticket out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary. So Morgan with the intent to do his best will go all out.
In Morgan's view, humans are greedy, the more social status someone has, the more greedy they become. He believes truly that Darius regrets his decision to hand over Excalibur, and in trusting Dracule.
