-----------------------------------
10th day of Iram(Winter), year 845 A.C.
Cadun (the capital of the Elellon kingdom)
In the castle from the center of the capital five men are having a meeting. The person at the center is a man in his late forties with green eyes, a well arranged beard and some scars on his left cheek which are noted more then everything else. He is the king of the Elellon, a large kingdom in the east of the continet.
In front of him four man are standing, and one of them, the duke Geoffry Bexley Phelrey, a man in his thirties, begin reading from a report.
-Three days ago in the Sigisa village around thirty unknown troops appeared and began to slaughter the citizens. After that they burned down the village they took the womens and childrens and fled before we could catch them.-
"Majesty! we..."
The king snapped out of his world and told to the man to finish what he was about to say.
“Those who survived have been investigated by our troops and from what we could put together we found out that one of the higher nobles is behind all of this mess. Most probably Fordaye.”
The rage could be seen in the king eyes, he was about to explode but he kept his calm and then spoke.
"Last year when three villages were raided by bandits I found out that Fordaye was behind all of that but i couldn't do anything because i didn't have proofs and to accuse him

widouth proofs would be a big mistake because he have big influence over the other nobles."
“Yes your majesty, even now if we accuse him of anything the majority of the nobles would take his defence and the kingdom would fall chaos” Geoffrey said without holding back.
The oldest man in the room, duke Gauward Wyarde began to talk.
“the best thing to do is to slowly attract as many nobles as we can on our side and the we could took that bastard down without any repercussions.”
"And how we will do that ?" Geoffry asked.
“There are many ways, but the easiest is to frame those little ones and then blackmails them until we reach our purpose. Indeed it takes a lot of precaution but could be done.” the old man spoke with a devilish face.
"I will think about what are you saying, but for now this should be enough. We will meet again when i will decide something."
“Yes your majesty” All four men responded in unison.
After the departure of the men the king face shows worry and he get lost in thoughts
“What should i do now?”
