"Their next target could be Aletros. I think they are planning something big, Remus."

"Kingdom Aletros (Louis's) isn't as weak as Kingdom Philion. So, they had to be cautious and that's why they aren't doing anything reckless" Brina said.

"How could you be so sure it's Aletros? Anyone would attack the weakest first and later go for strongest" Remus argued.

"Seriously?? You are asking me how am I so sure?!!"

"Who will understand them better than me, Remus?" Brina scoffed.

"It's where you all guys fall in trap! You think in typical fashion and think that they follow traditional rules of war. However, they are different, Remus! They don't see who is weak. They just grab the opportunity and strike for it." Brina said.

"Of course..of course! You know them well. But, I think Kingdom Sophene (Penelope's Kingdom) will be next." Remus argued.

"Why? I want an explanation" Brina asked.

"I just know," Remus said. "And, how could you be sure that it will be Aletros but not Sophene?" he asked with the same ferocity.

"Louis said that the court is unstable. It's worse than what you predicted, " Brina said.

"Same goes for Kingdom Sophene too" Remus rebuked, while he averted his eyes.

"Who said? Did your girlfriend Princess Penelope tell you?" Brina asked, mockingly.

"Yeah-" he stopped when he finally registered her words.

"Ho..ho..how do you know?" he asked, shocked.

Brina laughed. She stepped close to him and whispered something.

Soon his face drained it's color.

"You are impossible" he gulped his saliva as he said.

"It was obvious, idiot. I was waiting for you to tell me by yourself. Looks like you don't want to tell me" Brina mocked.

"It..it.. isn't..li.. like that" he stuttered when he felt her overwhelming gaze on him.

"Sab..I tho..thought you wi..will be angry on me" he said.

"For what? For sending your girlfriend to help me indirectly?" Sabrina asked as she looked at him with disdain.

"No..no. I mean Niccy. It hadn't been long I broke up with her...so…" he said, totally nervous because of her formidable aura suffocating him.

Though Niccy is Nickolas's sister, she was Brina's good friend.

"Why will I be? Your personal life is yours, not mine to get concerned about. I really don't care about who your new girlfriend is or why you changed your girlfriends. All I care is, why the hell you sent Penelope here?" she said, her voice angry and a few octaves higher.

"You might not be concerned about my personal life. But, I certainly do about yours. I wanted to protect you" he said.

Brina laughed. "You think I need protection? It is Will who needs protection. Not me! And, who are you to make decisions about what I want and what is best for me? You know what, you are acting like Nickolas" she scoffed.

"I am not him! And, I am not risking my girlfriend's life just to help you. I don't risk like him" Remus grumbled.

"Are you insane? You just threw the whole Kingdom Sophene into disorder by asking her to come here. You were playing with an innocent girl, Remus." Brina scoffed.

"She knows the consequences, Sabrina. You don't have to be so concerned about my girlfriend, okay?" he scoffed.

"You don't care much about her, do you, Remus? You were just drowning in taking revenge and the truth is, you really don't love her" Brina laughed.

Remus kept quiet, his eyes on the ground.

"Could we just skip this topic?" he asked, his eyes narrowed.

"Of course. Who am I to probe? I am just warning you not to get too drowned in taking revenge. I know how painful and suffocating it would be if some innocent lose their life because of our own selfishness and vengeance." Brina said.

She knows how it feels. She knows very well because she faced it.

That pain was unbearable.

Meanwhile, Remus didn't speak anything.

It's better not to argue with this devil anymore. If she snaps back to real Sabrina, he knows the dreadful consequences.

"Anyway, back to the topic, I am predicting that the next target could be Aletros because - first, it's in the middle of bride selection. Houses aren't United. Secondly, I think Alpha Academy is no mere coincidence. It's pre and well planned." Brina said.

"I started realizing how serious this rebellion got moulded into just after coming here. Till now, I didn't think that these many people are now in trance of Rebellion '' Brina said, mockery evident in her voice.

"You were immersed in your love bubble to think of this" Remus mocked.

"I am still in my love bubble, Remus. You think I am worried about the Rebellion? Nah… I am not."

"I am no superhero to come for the rescue. And, I don't want to be either! It takes many sacrifices and I am not okay with it"

"All I want to do now is make sure my family will be safe. Louis, Eliina, their parents, Natalie, Ethan…" Brina said.

Remus smirked, as he shook his head in disbelief.

"You think those people will attack the Royal family?" Remus asked.

He has been observing the main people of the Rebellion for months. Their tracks never pointed to Royal families but the power greedy Noble houses.

Striking the Royal family directly is risky and could expose them. So, it is always convenient to target the Noble families and initiate the attack through them.

Now it is her time to look at him with disbelief. "Did you keep your mind in the refrigerator and came?" she mockingly asked.

"Isn't it obvious, Remus? They are planning to divide and conquer. Louis and the ladies are in Alpha Academy while the King and Queen are in the palace, alone with not many people to trust."

"All night, I have been thinking of various possibilities. And, I have indeed found some connections" Brina said.

"Hmm. So, you were saying they would strike the King and Queen directly?" Remus asked, incredibly.

"There could be many possibilities and in which, some could be distractions they are deliberately planning" Brina said. "I am talking about chances and probability here, Remus. I never said I am sure. No one can know what really is going on in one's mind, especially the eccentric one's. So, I don't know what's going on in those people's minds either. So, all we can do is being cautious"

"Just try to make the comparisons Remus. You will indeed find some similarities in their previous attacks and the current plan. That's why I was saying that 'divide and conquer' could be their current plan now. It has a high probability but it can't be the only plan too " she said.

Remus nodded his head. "I understand your concern and I am willing to help. But, you know that my power is limited in Kingdom Aletros. I couldn't do much" he said.

"Yes, I know. That's the reason it's better we prevent it rather than waiting to defend" Brina told him.

"All right. You can lead my people if you want" Remus said.

"I don't need your people and I don't want to be involved in the rebellion directly. It will blow my cover off" Brina answered.

"You can do whatever you feel like it's right. I, Louis, Eliina, Charlotte, Daniel and Ethan will try to prevent it from here" she added.

"So, you are gonna tell everyone about your identity as Beatrice and how you are connected to all of this?" Remus asked, surprised and shocked over and over.

Her love for Louis is much more beyond what he and others predicted. She is actually walking right into her trauma for him, very willingly and she is even ready to unleash herself, breaking the shackles she herself binded to her all these years.

Love is indeed incredible and miraculous.

"Yeah. I actually decided to wait a bit longer, however, this seems like the right time. If I delay, Louis and his family might get into trouble"

"His friends and family might not know who exactly these people behind the rebellion are. And, they might be clueless of how to stop them"

"But, we here know these villains very well, Remus. If we all work together, this combination will be a perfect blend of to save Aletros." Brina said, pursing her lips.

"At least, we could save them." she added after a few seconds, her eyes filled with unfathomable emotions.

Remus smiled. "You are perfect now. I am proud of you, Sabrina"

"Back then you never used to think twice and you used to be so stubborn. You never

listened to others and have followed what your heart used to say. But now, you think, you understand others, you aren't stubborn anymore and your anger levels have decreased a lot. Uncle, Aunt and Seth would have felt proud of you if they would have been here to see their daughter" he said.

Brina smiled.

Proud? Might be.

"Fate is indeed tricky. It brought me back to this place when it thought that I was ready. Initially, I felt scared, but it seems like I have been dragged here for a reason" Brina said.

"You and Louis are destined." Remus agreed.

"Looks like we indeed are" Brina chuckled.
