I'm the King Of Technology

1: 52 P.M

The night was silent and slightly windy.

Within the palace of Terique, several people, slaves, stable boys and maids were already snoring their butts off from fatigue.... as each day in the palace was quite a hectic one.

As for the guards, one should know that the main reason why queen Kamara and her son could stay on the throne for so long... was because Nopline had switched most of the guards in and around the palace, as well as the Capital city.

Essentially, because those who had previously laboured here we're still extremely loyal to her husband King Micheal... she was sure that hey would never work for her.

Hence she had them dispatched out of the Capital city.

So everyone within the city was either placed by her or her brother

.

The guards who surrounded the palace were all stationed strategically around the place.

But alas... Some stood there while sleeping, while others ate and joked with their friends.

Nonetheless, there were still those who took their jobs very seriously, as they patrolled about the place diligently.

And at the same time, there were some who were doing some sneaky activities with the makes in hiding as well.

In short, everyone within the palace had their own private agendas for the night.

But unbeknownst to them, danger was just lurking around the corner right in hindsight.

.

Landon and a few soldiers were already within the city itself..... and were currently hiding just outside the massive palace estate.

And while they were in hiding, the rest of their comrades were way in the air waiting for their signal.

During the day, they had sneak attacked some of the daytime guards who were leaving the palace for whatsoever reasons.

Maybe their shifts were over and they were going for a drink at the pub, or maybe they were just going to meet someone outside.... Or something else.

But for sure when they had left the palace and had gone into the city, some of the soldiers had followed them and had put them to sleep real quick.

They were then tied up and left scattered all around the city in hiding.

So right now, Landon and the soldiers on the ground were all wearing the official guard uniform for the royal palace of Terique.

.

"Hey, Leofrick!....

I heard that master will soon come to the Capital again.

Is that true?"

"Hmhm!..... It's true!

Master Nopline would definitely come again in a few week's time.

And for sure.... It has something to do with the 3rd queen, Queen Jasmine."

"Eh?..... But didn't they say that the third queen was licked up because she attempted to kill queen Kamara?"

"Let me tell you a little secret..... My brother works as a guard just outside queen Jasmine's cell.

And from what he says, things are not always as they seem?"

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, the reason why queen Jasmine was locked up..... has something to do with our master.

Our master had taken a fancy on her years back.... And now he wants her."

"But..... But... Isn't she already married to King Micheal with 2 children?"

"Tsk!... Do you think that the master cares about that?

I heard that he's coming over to annul her marriage, and then forcefully wed her in secret.

Who knows.... He might even lock her up and take her to his estate at the end of it all."

"Good for our master!

He's finally getting married.

Hmph!... Who asked Queen Jasmine and her family to be weak?"

As the palace guards continued their discussions... time swiftly passed by with the soldiers on the hot air balloons continuously looking at Landon's direction with their binoculars, while preparing to launch their ammunition.

And soon, it was time for the show to begin.

"That's our master for you!

He's always fearless no matter what.

What a guy!"

"Shhhhh!.... Do you hear that?", said one of the palace guards, who was currently perking up his ears while placing a finger over his friend's lips.

Right now, he could hear a sound that faintly resembled that of an overfilled kettle... whose lid was currently closed, while the water within it boiled.

Hm?... Was someone boiling water outside the Palace gates at this time of the night?

In addition to that, the sound kept getting louder and louder... as if someone was about to throw the kettle towards his direction.

But before the guard could figure out where those sounds were coming from... within the next few minutes, the entire place was in a state of turmoil.

.

'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Ahhh!!"

"We're under attack!"

Immediately, the entire palace rumbled, and everyone soon woke up!

What the hell was going on?

'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!'

"This is bad!

Someone quickly come here!

We need more men!

We need more men!"

.

All around the major parts of the palace..... People were calling and screaming for reinforcements, as the attacks appeared to be taking place all at once at the same time.

The slave quarters and other lesser regions had been neglected.

But all the courtyards within the palace... as well as the space surrounding all major buildings, were constantly attacked nonstop.

Even the building where Queen Kamara was sleeping in, had vigorously trembled as if it were experiencing an earthquake, every time these attacks had dropped all around the building.

.

Waking up to the loud dreadful sounds of people wailing and screaming to no avail... Kamara jolted up from her bed like a spring, and hurriedly wore her bed robe and shoes.

Immediately, hse quickly dashed out from her room like a madwoman.... and hastily left the left-wing, while making her way towards the north wing instead.

And as she ran, her maidservants who usually slept just outside her room... Also followed behind her hastily.

They knew that right now, the only thing that their mistress was probably thinking of..... was whether her darling son Lecter was alright or not.

.

'Bam!'

The doors to the east wing we're opened up, and just when she was about to head in towards Lecter's bedroom chambers.... She immediately spotted her son, his servants and his own guards making their way down the stairs as fast as they could.

Kamara sighed from relief and quickly hugged her baby.

"Mother.... Mother.... I'm scared." Lecter said while shivering like a squirrel.

"It's alright.... Mother is here.... Mother will protect you." She said while stroking his head."

"My queen..... You might want yo take a look at this!" Said one of Lecter's guards, who was currently standing before a massive window above the stairs.

Kamara gently patted Lecter's back and left him in the care of the servants and guards.

How could she let her darling son see anything that would give him nightmares?

.

She climbed up the stairs quickly, and when she looked outside the window.... her heart stopped and her facial expressions soon grew gruesome.

'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
