Chapter 454 - 454: Going to Lyrue inside Mountain Kingdom part 8

With the so call heart of the God of Light on our hand, we can actually do something regarding the people trapped inside the Doppelganger flowers. It's not like they're eaten and digested by the digestive enzymes of the flowers. Well, in one look, it does look like that, but according to all the intel that we got, it's more like they're being kept alive by the flowers (minimally alive that is), so that the flowers can keep generating a Doppelganger of that person entrapped within it. Thing is

"If we are talking about a strong space magic user, Linda and Singa will definitely be it" [Diana]

"Agree. Lara, Nara and I are next best, but I don't think we are near where as proficient as both of you are" [Ash]

"Alright, leave it to me!" [Singa]

"I swear I won't disappoint any one of you" [Linda]

"That's good and all, but any idea where to start?" [Farhah]

Next will be the targeted flowers. We can actually start anywhere if I'm being honest but Rean here got another plan

"Let start with the castle first. It should be the source of all the problems in this country." [Rean]

"Rean's right. If we can rescue their leader first, we can easily deal with aftermath, but to get there..." [Elise]

"Don't worry about that. We can use this idiot here as our pawn" [Alaric]

"I can use mirage magic and keep him hypnotized and follow our command. We can all replace the elite bodyguard of him" [Savel]

"That's exactly what I was thinking" [Alaric]

So, instead of sneaking around and try to enter the castle, we will be controlling Fawan (by we, specifically Savel will, as the rest of us will blend in as the bodyguard). That's a neat idea

"Let me peak into his memory first. There will definitely be an info regarding the flower location" [Ash]

"I actually had that info, but it wouldn't hurt to do so" [Doppelganger prince]

"As for the layout of the castle, our group got it covered" [Resistance leader]

"But it wouldn't hurt to peak into his memory. We can get more information and can better pull this trick off" [Zerolith]

"Alright then, I'll do it before we execute this plan" [Ash]

So we got ourselves a frame of plan that we will do. Sneaking in might be easier said than done, and once we locate the flower, it's up to Linda and Singa to do their part as the rest of us will probably meet the retaliation of such action. Attacking the flower that started it all will surely alert each and everyone, and I can't see how they will not retaliate and be silence about it

"Then not everybody should be inside the castle" [Charlotte]

"I said the bare minimum should be more than enough. Princess Diana is a must, as she will definitely be recognized by the royal family once they are rescue" [Muse]

"Another hero they will recognise will be..." [Kara]

We all stare at Charlotte, as she start to make the dissatisfied sound. I really appreciate if she didn't take that after me.

"I'll do it... Sis Diana..." [Charlotte]

"I will. Don't worry about it" [Diana]

"Now I feel like meeting that bastard of a prince

... personally" [Ash]

"Mr Ash will be station outside the castle then" [Muse]

"Agree" [Mara]

"Hey!" [Ash]

""Brother Ash, you will definitely kick that prince face once you meet with him"" [Lara, Nara]

"I can vividly imagine that" [Karon]

"As much as I find it funny, I will appreciate it if you didn't kick the prince. My trade with this country will surely be affected by your action." [Long hair girl]

With the majority of them voting me out, the power of democracy once again fail me. I'm sure I will not kick that bastard face right away... Well, right away is the keyword here. If he somehow still has the nerve to do what he had done to Charlotte, I'm sure the blood will go rushing to my head. Let just hope my lovely Diana will be able to prevent that from happening

"If you're going inside the castle, I might as well go as the representative of the Duke House of the Beastman Kingdom" [Sachmis]

"I'm no longer the Paladin of the Demon Kingdom, but I'm sure some of them will still recognize me. If all goes well, we can establish a friendly ties with this country" [Aries]

"I think I'm starting to see our team here" [Elise]

"So am I" [Rean]

So those with diplomatic power will storm the castle. They are

Castle infiltrating team = Diana, Muse, Qis, Alaric, Linda, Charlotte, Singa, Savel, Sachmis, Aries

The other (Me myself, Rean, Elise, Kara, Mara, Lara, Nara, Zerolith, Karon, Farhah and Behe) will face the Doppelganger that try rushing in toward the castle.

"Can we take a look at the map again. I want to see the flowers location. We can better divide ourselves further with it" [Rean]

"Right. Just a moment" [Resistance member A]

With that,we started to further plan our actions. The date of the operation will be tomorrow itself, that's what we would like to do but

"Given that we wanted to use Fawan, we ought to do it today itself" [Elise]

"Correct. A moment of delay is to be expected from any convoy coming from another country, but too long and it will be suspicious and will deter our plan" [Qis]

"So, should we start around 500Pm? People will start closing in their business around this time, and most people will start to go back home." [Resistance leader]

"Not too early nor too late. I said that is perfect" [Doppelganger prince]

"We better start moving then" [Sachmis]

"Right. Let me just use memory dive technique on Fawan first" [Ash]

And thus, our preparation begin. In such a short notice, all of us including those from the other orphanages and the resistance group start to move. We quickly went to our assigned location and

"Did you hear that?"

"Prince Fawan is finally here!"

"Really!"

"I can't wait to see him!"

"Come! Let us go and see the parade!"

"Surely"

And so it begin
