Chapter 3 Dissapeared with no trace!

The Sodinar kingdom shared a boundary with Nessa's now distroyed kingdom, Gantur. They hadn't had any conflict before the Sodinar kingdom unexpectedly planned an attack against them and killed an entire Kingdom in one night. Many people knew it wouldn't have been possible if Gantur kingdom knew about the war, their warriors were two times stronger than Sodinars' and that was why Sodinar kingdom attacked without informing them or stating the reason for the war. A feast of celebration could be seen in King Damien's mansion palace, the palace was the biggest building in Sodinar kingdom and Sodinar was more developed than Gantur because the city was the most convenient for tourism and that made different people from all over the word to reside there. A cool royal music could be heard in King Damiens large hall room, his twenty advisors also known as kings chiefs or priests were present in the ceremony. Tons of guards guided the palace and protected it from insane people that might want to try and abduct their king and his family. The palace hall in which they celebrated all their events was well lit with chandeliers and different sizes and shapes of beautiful lights. A red carpet was spread all over the hall for the high esteemed guests to step on. The people who attended the celebration were about one hundred and fifty, they each wore a black gown with the drawing of an eagle since it was their way of dressing any time they won a war and were celebrating. King Damien's royal family were the only people in the celebration hall that didn't wear black, the twin princes wore golden royal robes with Prince crowns on their heads. And the only princess in the royal family also wore a golden gown with a princess crown on her head. The guests cheered and merried and drank to the destruction of Guntur Kingdom, vibing to the silent music that was playing in the hall room background. The king had the brightest smile out of everybody in the hall room, the pride in his face shone so much that a peacock's pride would never be able to be compared to his at that moment. He was sitting on the gold chair in the hallroom and was continuously answering all the many questions that were thrown to him by his subjects. "How did you do it?" one of them asked. "Sodinar has made history," another of the twenty chiefs chirped. "Oh yes!" King Damien replied with the brightest smile on his face. "Our kingdom is the only one in the world who wiped out a neighbouring kingdom in a single day! I'm so proud of our warriors for making our kingdom's name to possibly go into the Guinness book of record." The chiefs all laughed in spite of themselves and drank their wine to the merriment of victory. "But how was it possible?" The least respected chief in the palace hall, Chief Eric, asked. The other Chiefs all looked at him with an expression that said "You've begun to ask your irrelevant questions once again". Kind Damien made an eye roll at Chief Eric and continued boasting of his kingdoms victory to his chiefs. The palace's hall room was divided into two. The first one was a large space where almost two thousand people could occupy and celebrate an event or meeting, and the second place was a reserved opening in the far corner where the twenty chiefs could meet with the King and discuss while any ceremony was going on. Two strong looking guards guarded the king and were outside the hall meeting room since it was only separated from the main hall by a thick golden curtain. "The last time I checked," Chief Darra said. He was the king's most special advisor and the most respected of all the chiefs. "You were on good terms with king Valentine of Gantur kingdom. How come you attacked them suddenly without warning or calling us for advice? Did king Valentine cross the line?" Chief Darra asked. "No, he didn't." King Damien replied. "You know, I've always had an eye for Gantur kingdom, the kingdom's location and boundry with Sodinar's was disturbing to me. So I just had to do what I had to do," King Damien lowered his voice and bent down his head to say, "A secret night attack!" The chiefs hailed and cheered him after he spoke. "But how exactly did you know the way the city is planned and the time the guards start to guide the city gates?" Chief Darra pressed. "Me and the King of Gantur were as close as a dog and a bone, but the king was foolish, he trusted me so much that he told me the time his kingdom went to sleep, the exact way the kingdoms escape route is planned and the time the gate guards had their shifts." King Damien took a sip of the wine on his gold cup before he continued, "The king's trust and love for togetherness became too much, and I knew it was time to invade and take over the kingdom for life. The plan of taking it out wasn't very hard because the first male twin and heir to my throne gave me some advice and my beautiful Queen Kimberley helped as well." All the chiefs' mouths were wide open in surprise and admiration as they thought about how smart and cunning their king was. "King Damien of Sodinar kingdom!" Chief Darra hailed. "I've never seen or heard of a king in history who is as wise as you. You're even wiser than king Solomon in the bible." A brief round of laughter stretched around the room when they heard chief Darra. The king couldn't stop smiling, the brightness of the gold and diamond crown on his head couldn't be compared to the smile on his face. "Just give me one week," he said. "One good week and you'd see other kings and Kingdoms from far and near begging for my daughter's hand in marriage to one of their Prince's so they can make allies with our kingdom." "Yes, we're going to…" another chief in the meeting suddenly started to say but was interrupted by the barging in of Sodinar's kingdom chief warrior. "Your highness!" General Khalid, the chief warrior, said and bowed to the king. "Get up." King Damien said. "You've never barged into me anytime I'm in a meeting, hope all is well?" "Yes, your highness." General Khalid replied and was about to continue before he looked at the eyes of all the chiefs like he wasn't sure if he should speak in their presence. King Damien seemed to guess his thought because he said, "Speak!" General Khalid bowed his head for a second time before he said, "There's a single female survivor from Gantur kingdom, our swords and horsemen were after her, and they almost caught up with her before she disappeared with no trace."
