the disturbing news.

Their presence in the palace was announced to the king. The king welcomed them happily. "Soon their would be an heir to the throne" a royal cabinet member said and all laughed. Some were genuinely happy and others the opposite. While all this went on, five swordmen were on their route to Joseng palace. the palace huge Bell located in the palace entrance was sounded to signal danger. All the palace guards ran out in formations to protect the palace. Bruno and Kim guarded the palace Court where the king and all the royal cabinet members were seated. The Hui men covered their faces, only their eyes were open. "We seek the King!" One of the men echoed. King Leo came out with Bruno and Kim beside him. "This is for you" they tossed a scroll on the floor. "You have Disturbed a sleeping tiger" one of the men said as they rode out of the palace. One of the palace guard picked up the scroll and brought it to King Leo. the King entered back to his court to read what information the scroll contained, the kingmaker and the royal cabinet members joined him immediately.

" You have brought my reserved anger back upon your kingdom and this time no one will be spared.you executed my men I ordered to carryout a task. Get ready for the storm that's about to hit you". King Leo read the scroll in the presence of the kingmaker and royal cabinet members. Kim and Bruno were present too. Kim's heart started beating faster as sweat rolled down his head. "What have I done?" He kept on querying himself.

Bruno, the kingmaker and the royal cabinet members looked confused. "When did you order this execution my Lord?" The kingmaker asked. King Leo had no response to give them. He dropped the scroll and sat on his throne. After a short while, he stood up and dismissed all present as he left the palace court. He entered his royal chamber only to find his wife looking worried. " I know all is not well, what is it my Lord?" Lily asked the husband. King Leo didn't want to bother his pregnant wife with such an information. But queen Lily was too persuasive, King Leo had no option than to tell her. She trembled as Fright gripped her. King Leo assured her no to worry much. Queen Lily left her husband's arm to sit at the corner of the chamber still with fright all over her. She have heard so much about the Hui's King before she was even married into the royal family. "He mean his words" Lily kept on saying as she walked around the corners of the room. King Leo walked to her, helped her to sit and warn her not to be so worried.

"Please stay put I'll be back" Leo said to his wife.

" Summon Kim right now" he ordered a guard around. Kim was with Bruno. While they were together,Bruno queried Kim whether he knew about the execution being talked about. Kim claimed he has no idea about what is really going on.

The king's personal guards answered the call. The both men bowed as they greeted the king .

" Please I need only Kim's presence here" king Leo said to Bruno.

Bruno wondered why he should be out as he left their presence.
