《The Black Sheep Prince(complete)》Chapter 61: Opportunity
Advertisement
56 days after the explosions - Army tent
No choice, no way out, no escape, no safe line, no hope
That's the situation everyone from the Zergeit empire found themselves
They couldn't even say they didn't have the power to make such a difficult choice, since they have both the crown prince Damian and his "guardian" general Rexford
They couldn't refuse the offer since they had they back against the wall, and they couldn't stall for time since time was of essence
They were completely screwed all around basically
Sweeten the deal? How? They didn't have anything to offer. Even worst was that they could demand even more and they didn't have a way to refuse
Empty promises?that wouldn't work. For starters, they would lose all credibility in future negotiations, something a nation couldn't afford to lose if they didn't want to be isolated
Besides, they would probably need some collateral to make sure they wouldn't go back on their word
Completely trapped, completely screw, completely defeated
"You win, we will take the deal. While we finish the details of the deal, I will send some of my guys will go to confirm what you say is true, and if everything checks out, I and the prince will sing the papers, deal?"(Rexford) said reluctantly and extended his hand so the prince would shake it
"Deal"(prince) said with a smug face and approached the general
And it was in that moment that Alice saw an opportunity. So far, the prince was beside his guards and a few meters(foots) away, so approach him would look suspicious, making them have their guard up
But now, it was the opposite. Everyone had their guard down since it looked like they reached a deal. It was one of those moments when one felt a sense of accomplishment and everyone is lost in the moment. It was a perfect time to strike

The prince left the protection of his guards, so anyone could approach him and make him a hostage. No one realised this because the mood felt like everything was over, but Alice didn't give up yet
If he captures him, she could negotiate to get away from there with the general and prince Demian(or at least Demian) and if they managed to reach the forts, she could use the hostage soldiers as a way to stop the advance of the Griffon army while she uses part of the army to stop the Rebellion
It may not go exactly as she hoped, but it wasn't a bad plan, and it could work
And how hard it would be to capture him? She may not be as strong as her brother Paul, but she was as strong as the best knight in the kingdom(or empire for the matter) and he was an unprepared, non-talented, garbage that was just in front of her. He had no way of escaping from her grasp
So she waited, and when he was just a meter away, she made her move. It was simple actually, she put mana on her legs to move faster, some mana on her eyes to improve her kinetic vision and some on her arms to improve their movement speed
Her aim was to hit his knee to make him fall, and grab the neck, and one of his arms to make a proper choke hold
It was a move her training instructor teach her, and it should work perfectly in this situation
The plan was perfect, the move was perfect, the movement was perfect and the hostage was perfect
Not
She missed
How did she miss?
She didn't understand
He was just in front of her, she had her reflex increased, she was catching him by surprise, she was using her most perfect move at the perfect moment at the most imperfect person
She didn't understand, but she couldn't surrender yet. She may have hesitated for a millisecond, but she made her move again, this time with greater speed, greater focus and greater determination, like her very existence depended on that moment
And all she could remember after that was blackness
----------------------------------------------------------
Note: Sorry it's a short one, but it was a perfect moment to stop

Kingdom of Mallic
The Kingdom of Mallic is a land of magic, border wars, and new frontiers. To the north are the Cold Lands, ruled by cruel isolationist dwarves. They raid for supplies continually. Every effort to remove them has failed. No army that has marched north ever returns. To the south are the vast Jungles of Terror, which are home to barbaric elves. Every elf that is facing their Coming of Age ritual or seeks further status requires the torture and sacrifice of an elf from another tribe, a human, or a dwarf. Their numbers are staggering, causing great fear of them becoming more organized. The Kingdom settled on the west coast of a vast continent between the waring dwarves and elves. It has slowly grown eastward into a land of unexplored and dangerous frontiers. Those forces are always pushing the Kingdom back. Within this Kingdom, a boy seeks to master magic and become a great mage, but others are not so willing to let him rise. What lengths will he have to go to survive?

Shizuka
A/N: I'm actually writing two stories at once, this and another story on ScribbleHub. I have decided to put Shizuka on hiatus due to some RL issues but my story on ScribbleHub will continue since I'm co-writing it with a friend which is easier. Please do check it out on ScribbleHub. Series name is Walking in Shadows. Four Heroes were summoned from earth to combat an evil threat in Evarenan but there was a fifth person, Hirano Shizuka. She was never meant to be summoned. It was purely coincidental and unintentional. The God who acted as the intermediatery for the summon, has shunned her. Fated to live a harsh life in a foreign world. Abaddon, a Goddess, the Empress of Night, took pity upon Shizuka. Fascinated by the strength of her will and soul, and fond of her humble and accepting character, the Goddess offered Shizuka to be her Champion which Shizuka accepted. A month passed after the arrival of the Heroes and a plus one at Evarenan, the real trials and nightmares of this world had only just begun for our offworlders, especially Shizuka. AN: Shizuka is the sequel to Overture of an Odyssey, which takes place after the events of the latter.
