Chapter 50

It's nightfall. Priscilla is standing at the door to my room. I sensed that she's nervous. I walked over to her and looked into her eyes.

"If you're nervous, you don't have to do this. We can just cuddle." I said to her.

"I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous. I want to make the prophecy redundant but I want to get to know you a bit better." Priscilla replied.

"it's ok, Priscilla. I would like to get to know you better too." I said.

I hug her as my wives showed up and embraced her. She smiled at me and then all my wives. Priscilla felt the love coming from all of us. But then I begin to sense something strange. Like we were being watched by someone very far away.

"Girls, go ahead and show Priscilla to the royal bedroom. I'll be there in a few minutes." I said. Sensing that I was on high alert, Yuna takes Priscilla by the hand and leads her to the royal bedroom with the rest of the ladies following. I light a cigarette and look up with a serious look on my face.

At the Dark Lord's Castle...

A shadowy figure is looking into a crystal ball and he sees a man wearing an orange hat. He's smoking something. If you can guess who is this shadowy figure is, he's the Dark Lord.

"So this is the Mad Dog King of the Barnes Kingdom, he doesn't look so scary to me." the Dark Lord said with a smug face.

However, that smug look fades as fear begins to show on the Dark Lord's face. King Barnes looks like he's looking at the Dark Lord even though he's an image on the crystal ball. The Dark Lord went pale. He begins to sweat. He then hears a voice that is coming from the crystal ball.

"You know, if you wanted to meet me, you could have just came here for your ass whooping. But spying on me is crossing a line. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY MOTHER FUCKER! If you keep eyeing me thru a crystal ball, I'm going to poke your eyes out and shove them up your ass! And a few other things, Priscilla is mine and I'm coming for you, you son of a bitch! I'm going to stomp a mud hole in your ass and run it dry. My name is Michael Barnes and I'll be the one that will take you out."

The Dark Lord waves his hand and the crystal ball becomes clear.

"That is a very dangerous man. I need to beef up my defenses." said a visibly shakened Dark Lord. Little did he know, he was being spied on by a young woman who saw everything that just happened. She walks up to the Dark Lord.

"Daddy, who was you looking at in the crystal ball?" asked the young woman. The Dark Lord regains his composure and turns to the young woman who is his only daughter.

"That, Lucy, is Michael Barnes. He's known as the Mad Dog King of the Barnes Kingdom. He's very powerful and dangerous. I want you to stay away from him." said the Dark Lord. He walks away to do something else but Lucy stands there. She's thinking about something that her mother told her before she disappeared 4 years ago. Lucy was 13 at the time but this is the last time she saw her mother.

Flashback to 4 years ago...

Lucy was in the library in the castle of the Dark Lord, reading about the history of the Hearth Kingdom when her mother walks up to her.

"Lucy, there you are. I have something to tell you." Lucy's mother told her. Lucy puts a bookmark in the book before closing it and then looking at her mother..

"Yes mother?" asked Lucy.

"I had a dream last night. A man in a strange orange hat appeared in my dream. Your father tried to rule the world and this man stopped him. I also saw you beside him. I think your father is going to turn dark soon. So keep an eye out for a man in a strange orange hat. When he shows up, go to him and help him." said Lucy's mother.

"Ok mother. I'll keep my eyes out." Lucy to her mother.

"Ok, I have to go to the Dragon Island soon to discuss some things about the non-aggression pact that has been in place since your great grandfather's rule. Please take care of your father." Said Lucy's mother before hugging Lucy.

"Will do mom. I love you." Lucy said to her mother, not knowing that these would be the last words she would be saying to her.

Back to the present...

Lucy knew that her mother's visions was right on the dot with her father's dark turn and then Michael's appearance. She had to sneak out of the castle tonight and get to the Western Continent. She has to keep her promise to her mother, no matter the cost of having her father label her as a traitor. She knew that it would take at least 2 weeks just to get to the Western Continent but then where does she go after that? She then remembered talking to a maid about the Barnes Kingdom when it suddenly showed up and the name of the capital. She would have to travel another 4 days.

"Sorry daddy, I have to keep my promise to mom. You need to stopped." Lucy said when she was all alone.

Back at Barnes Castle....

I felt the Dark Lords eyes no more as I went to the royal bedroom to get ready for bed. as I climbed into bed, I see Yuna and Priscilla keep a spot open. Priscilla lays her head on my chest and begins to play with my chest hair. I kiss her forehead as I begin to relax before falling asleep.

2 1/2 weeks later...

I was with my brother, Joe, training with him to shoot his own Sledgehammer. He has been learning at a quick rate how to use his skills and his own guns. I found out that he has the arsenal of guns as I do. I also have 1,500 muskets produced and the 1878 Winchester prototype done and began to start producing it for the BAA. Only 100 have been produced but for the ammunition for both, I have had enough done to wage a war for years. Back to the field training with Joe. We have been taking out goblins and bandits.

As we were heading back to Austin, I sensed that someone was being chased by bandits. I turned to Joe.

"Bro, you feel that?"

"Yeah Barn, Someone is in trouble."

"You want to see me fight?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen you fight. I want to see what you can do."

I sensed that the hotspot is a few minutes away and we head there with blazing speed. Sure enough, we see a young woman running from a group of bandits. I see the lust in there eyes as the woman is very beautiful. Joe stops.

"Ok Barn. Show me what you have learned in your time in the Army!"

I get there and grab a bandit by the neck and chokeslammed him into the ground hard. A second bandit takes out his sword and swings it but I dodge his swing. I hit him with a RKO and get up to see the other bandits stop. I summon my Tommy Gun and pull the trigger. The bandits that was left standing got caught with .45 caliber rounds all over their bodies. They didn't stand a chance. The young woman had stopped when I chokeslammed the first bandit and watched everything else happened.

"Now that's what being over powered feels like, Joe!" I shouted. I looked at the young woman. She had jet black hair, bright red eyes, and she had the curves that would make Priscilla jealous if she was like that. She walks up to me before stopping. I feel that she was here to see only me.

"You must be Michael Barnes, the Mad Dog King of the Barnes Kingdom. My name is Lucy. It is nice to finally me-" Lucy was saying before fainting. I catch her and look towards Joe.

"Sorry Joe, we got to head back and fast. This woman is Lucy and it looks like she is exhausted."

Yeah bro, let's hurry back to your castle.
