NOIRS
2. The Highlands Coup


The figure they believed to be Noir also appeared. Commander Hans and his army just stared in astonishment at him, as if the figure was a life-extracting angel.


     The appearance and mystery that has enveloped him so far is very appropriate if he is also equated with the angel of life.


     The wind was still blowing, but not as strong as before. The figure was still staring intently at the traitors.


     Amidst his fear, Commander Hans still had time to think of a devious plan. This time he intends to drag Noir before his big boss after he succeeds in killing Princess Lurina.


    


     He got up and showed his courage to challenge the guardian of the eastern forest.


     But the figure did not respond to it. He knows he is being challenged. But he preferred to stay in front of Princess Lurina.


     Princess Lurina herself was increasingly afraid of what was in front of her. Not finished with the betrayal of people he knew, now appears again a figure that many fear. His body was stiff, he felt his entire body like a statue.


     What was certain was only one thing Princess Lurina wanted at the moment, going as far away from these two dangers as possible.


    Commander Hans who had earlier given a challenge to the figure became emotional, because the creature did nothing. He also felt annoyed. He tried to provoke the Noir's emotions.


     "I guess the guy everyone's afraid of would dare to fight me, turns out to be just a loser who likes to play scare, '" he joked.


     Again the figure did not give any response. Commander Hans was angry. Ka assumes that figure is playing tricks on him.


     "SCREWS!!! THEN JUST DIE WITH THAT WEAK WOMAN!!! LOSER!!!"


     He bravely ordered all his troops to finish off the Noir and Princess Lurina.


     "ERASE THEM!!!"


     His army rose up and began crashing towards the Owl and Princess Lurina.


     This time the Noir did not remain silent.


His robe shot hundreds of black arrows at Commander Hans's army. One by one they fell down before approaching Noir and Princess Lurina.


...-----...


     In the city of Fyodor, the capital of the kingdom, there was a motorcade of chariots and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers marching towards the palace. The people were confused, actually what was going on. Usually, the palace will give an announcement to the corner of the kingdom if there are invited guests from other countries or a party will be held soon.


     However, this time no one from the kingdom gave any information about the convoy. Especially with the presence of fully armed royal soldiers make the people more anxious. They were afraid that if there was a surprise attack from outside or the kingdom would immediately go to war suddenly.


     Shortly thereafter, several royal dignitaries were seen in the cortege, both military and government officials being in one accompaniment. Among them were the commander of the 5th infantry division, Commander Dax, commander of the 2nd artillery, Commander Edric, and one of the veteran generals owned by the Urkhy Kingdom, General Otto August.


     Then from the top of the government there was the governor of the Trezs Region located in the south of the kingdom, the Governor of Boleric, the former Deputy of Assets and Royal Wealth, Carlustinus, and the leader of the City of Slov, who was the leader of the city of Slov, the largest city besides the royal capital, Duke of Nomeruno.


     They all wear their own clothes. The most authoritative General Otto looks with various ranks attached to his military suit.


...-----...


     After the motorcade had passed for quite a while, suddenly the large bell that was in the town square rang. The people immediately gathered and were ready to listen to the information to be conveyed.


It was seen a royal soldier preparing to pass on the information.


     "IMPORTANT NEWS! IMPORTANT NEWS!... THE GOVERNMENT OF URKHY KINGDOM HAS CHANGED!... TO UPHOLD PEACE AND STRENGTHEN THE KINGDOM, AND TO UPHOLD JUSTICE THROUGHOUT THE KINGDOM... THE GREAT PRIME MINISTER, MR. NIKOLAUS HAS TAKEN OVER THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT... AND... KING CLODOVEO IS NO LONGER IN POWER!"


     The people of the kingdom were terrified after hearing the announcement.


     They did not expect the royal family and King Clodoveo to have been overthrown in a coup.


...-----...


     Inside the palace, at the meeting table, there are military and government officials sitting in a circle, including King Clodoveo as the leader of the kingdom.


     However, King Clodoveo, General Dusten, General Evrard, and the Commander of the Guards and Royal Guards, Commander Frederick wore handcuffs in their hands. They were slightly bowed with an annoyed look on their faces.


     They did not expect, friends, friends, and their own brothers to carry out a coup against the palace.


     Prime Minister Nikolaus looked at them with a satisfied smile. The plan went smoothly.


     "Actually... We don't want to do this, my lord Clodoveo." said Nikolaus.


     "...But..."


     He approached King Clodoveo.


     "You are too weak to lead this kingdom!" continued.


     Commander Frederick was angry to hear the words of Nicholas. He tried to stand up and defend King Clod.


     "CLOSE YOUR MOUTH, MOTHERFUCKER!!! YOU'RE NOT EVEN SMART ENOUGH TO BE A KING!!!"


     Suddenly, the soldier standing behind Commander Friedrich pulled his shoulders and forced him to sit back down.


     "SIT DOWN!!!" a soldier snapped to Commander Friedrich.


     Nicolaus, who had just passed in front of him, suddenly returned to his presence. He stared intently at the loyal commander of King Clodoveo.


     "You know?... I have an extensive network to deal with the problems. Perhaps he should have been the one who deserved to be a slave for me" said Nikolaus arrogantly, pointing at King Clodoveo.


     "Your network is nothing more than a bunch of wild bandits, Nikolaus. They're illegal people you can't control forever. One day it will be their turn to destroy your government" replied General Dusten.


     "HAHAHAHA... KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT MY MERCENARY? THE BOY! Hear me. If you want to entertain me, I will make you a palace clown to entertain me every day. Tell me all your cleverness after you've been a clown in this palace" Nikolaus mocked.


     Frederick, who had a grumpy nature, could only stare at the annoyed Nikolaus. He knew he had no power to open the mouth of Nicholas.


     So did General Evrard, though spreader and inversely proportional to Friedrich's nature, for this time he felt very upset with someone. But he also realized, at this time the situation was not on their side.


     "Hey... stupid boy! How long will you believe in the weak Clodoveo?" ask Commander Dax to Dusten.


     "Don't think you understand very well the problems that exist because your rank is higher than ours. It has no effect on your stupid mindset!" keep Commander Edric.


     "Hey... Hey Edric! Don't do that to our general. You can be beheaded by him later" Calrustinus said.


     "I'm sure our king will be even more surprised to hear that his beloved daughter has been settled by Hans and his army" Nikolaus continued.
