15 days after the explosion - the palace

The prince was deep asleep when he heard the knock at the door. He wanted to keep on sleeping for at least 12 more hours, but he forced to move his body out of bed when he remember all the stuff he had to do today

He dressed normally and open up the door to find the annoying servant outside, waiting for the prince to get up. The prince told the servant to go inside his room and close the door so the guards outside wouldn't hear him

"I woke you up as you asked sir"(servant)

"yes yes, I can see that"(prince) answer a little annoyed

"Do you need something else sir?"(servant)

"a couple of things, First I want you to prepare a couple of griffon for riding"(prince)

"Do you plan to go somewhere?"(servant)

"not really, It's just a precaution"(prince)

"A precaution for what?"(servant)

"that's the other thing I need you to do, take this package"(prince) went to his bag and took a package and a note, handing them to the servant "And follow my instructions step by step"

The servant took the package and started to read the note, turning a little more pale the closer he got to the end

"what does this mean?what's going on? "(servant) confused at the meaning behind the instructions

"Doesn't matter, just follow them to the letter and make sure you destroy the note when you finish memorising. Don't fail!"(prince) warned him

"But if what is inside this package? why do I need to pull the cord in the middle of a crowd?"(servant)

"It's nothing dangerous, it is only a warning signal, nothing more"(prince) half lied

"Warning signal?Isn't this really dangerous? I can't let you do anything that would put your life at risk sir"(servant)

"don't worry don't worry, everything is fine, it's just a prank"(prince) lied like a champion

"All this just for a prank?"(servant) didn't buy it

"An important prank, just do it and I promise I will keep doing the paperwork later"(prince) kept lying like a champ, or at least wanted to believe it was a lie

"Ok sir, I hope you know what you are doing"(servant) left to do what the prince asked

me too(prince)

When the servant left, the prince went to Susan's room to wake her up. He knocked the door and was glad that she at least looked better than 2 days ago, probably thanks to a good day of sleep. He told her to dress casually and prepare some casual clothes for Aria(while discreetly taking a glance at her ....) and when he told her where to meet him when she was done, he left her to prepare since he had more stuff to do

Prince then went to Lina's room since he had another precaution to make. He knocked the door and the personal maid of lina was cleaning the room like the prince thought she would

"Hi! I need you to do some for me"(prince)

"What do you need prince"(P maid)

"At 9 I want you to take lina to the stables with some excuse like petting the animals or something like that, and if some people enter the castle, I want you to take lina in a griffon to the generals mansion, you know where it is right?"(prince)

"yes, I went a couple of times after the general invited Paul to his mansion, but what's going on? Is Lina in danger?"(p maid)

"not really, it is just a precaution if things go south at the protest"(prince)

"WHAT PROTEST!?"(P maid)

"calm down, it's just some angry people complaining about pointless stuff, I have everything in control"(prince)

"if you have everything in control, why do we need to get ready to run at any moment?"(p maid) made a good point

"In case I lose control?"(prince) tried to play dumb

This makes the maid turn a little pale and worry for Lina's safety, but the prince tried to reassure her

"don't worry don't worry, nothing should go wrong, it is only to make absolutely sure nothing bad will happen to Lina no matter what"(prince)

This calmed down the maid a bit, but she still was worry

"let's go to Lina"(prince)choose to finish his business fast since he didn't have a lot of time left

They found Lina and Aria training like he expected, but he make them stop and send Aria to Susan and Lina to her maid(the last one a little disappointed). And since he had a couple of minutes before the two girls were ready, he went to grab his bag in the room and went to the kitchen to eat something before heading out. When he finished his breakfast, he went to the empty guest room and changed into his magician robe(with the armor under it)

After a while, the two girls arrived at the room and the prince had to admit they looked nice in casual clothes. He dismissed Arias questions and went to the secret passage Jorge show him when he was young. After opening, she told the two girls to follow him after he woke up Susan since she was completely stunned (Leaving prince wondering why the big shock).

He didn't have a problem getting outside, but it did kind of shock him how many people were here to protest. He counts at least 30 thousand, and there was probably a lot more. Still he didn't let this put him down and went to the podium while going through the crowd

He found the orator on top of the podium ready to speak at any moment, with some people around him. The prince asked the orator to let him speak and without complaining or making a fuss he agreed, probably since the prince was the one that started all this and he wanted to see what he had planned(or maybe he was happy as long as someone did it)

The prince was glad to get to the podium without problems, and after telling the two girls to go to each side(he brought them as a precaution) he took a magic tool that amplify sound and started to address the crowd

"Hello Everyone"(prince) spoke through the amplifier, making it possible to be heard by all the people that came

"If everyone would quiet down a little, I have a few things to say"(prince) tried to make everyone listen to his words

He waited a little for everyone to quiet down(or at least stop talking loudly)and kept talking

"Some of you may remember that yesterday I proposed this protest, and even though it is surprising that so many came, I brought you here for a good reason"(prince)continue

"And that reason isn't to protest against Prince Julian but a different reason"(prince)

This confuse some people and started to talk with the person next to them to see what was going on, but most of them stayed quiet to see what the magician? meant

"And the reason was to trap you all in one place and not only teach you guys an important lesson but to say 2 important words, FU*K YOU!!!!"(prince)

and when he said that, an explosion could be heard, and some powder flew all over the place, making fall sleep a lot of people

"And, by the way, I put wards all over the place and traps like that one, so if anyone tries to leave they will get hit by it and if you guys try to cause problems, I may activate some or all traps, and let me tell you I brought enough for all of you"(prince)

this makes everyone turn pale, and some at the end of the crowd did try to run away, but they instantly fell asleep, making everyone realised there was no place to run and nothing to do but see what happens now

"Soooo, let's have a little chat, ok guys?"(prince) said with a smug face
