Romanoff Dukedom: Plan (26)

The Elders had let their guard down. 

Just because they had observers keeping eyes on the member of the Valk League, that didn't mean that the young men would just stay behaved. 

They might have placed a lot of guards, believing that numbers would be enough to hamper any plans of rebellion. However, the Elders had greatly underestimated the capabilities of their candidates. 

Twenty soldiers weren't strong enough to suppress the four candidates. They would need hundreds to completely subdue these young men. 

"By staying here, you all know that we'll be receiving punishment beyond our understanding. A punishment that's beyond unreasonable. It might even cost us our future. However, how can we sit here and discuss things without our leader? How can we feel at ease without knowing if he's still alive?" 

As a man of virtue, Fluger didn't want to let things go that way.
