The Emperor's Loyal Dog

Vermithor: Fine! I'd make sure you remember your insults once I take that crown of your head and behead you in front of the whole empire!

Dillon: I'll wait for that time to come!

Vermithor then slammed the door shut and called upon his men to prepare for departure back to amasya. Once that door shut Dillon fell unto the ground trying to catch his breath. He couldn't understand what was wrong with him.

Dillon: Servants!... Servants!... Men!

Once the soldiers and servants heard their kings call they rushed back into the Court chamber... And there they saw Dillon passed out on the floor. They immediately rushed him to his Royal chamber and called upon the imperial physician to check up upon the king. The grand vizier immediately sent a letter to Ceres and thermidor in fear for the kings life. The grand vizier now had to mobilize the army fast as vermithor was still in the capital. Once vermithor finds out that Dillon is weakened he will kill Dillon and execute his ministers and viziers and usurp the throne. The grand vizier had to have all the best men and healers in the imperial Palace to make sure no one will assassinate Dillon. He called upon his men to find them the biggest and fastest Hawks in the empire to deliver the messages. After they've found 2 of their best Hawks the grand vizier sent them out in their way. They now had to focus on Dillon who was still unconscious. Vermithor was gathering his men once again for departure but his men were very tired because of the rushed departure from amasya to Dolion and now they had to go back without even a day of rest. Vermithor then decided to stay the night back in the imperial Palace. Once he was back in with his men the grand vizier went to confront him

Grand vizier: Prince vermithor. I thought you would be gone by now after your fight with the emperor.

Vermithor: Grand vizier. My fathers loyal dog. You have no right to question me as you are not blood. Now get out of my way!

Grand vizier: I can not allow you to come back in the main Palace as the emperor commanded you are not to be allowed here as he does not consider you his son but just a valuable noble. So you shall stay in the East wing.

Vermithor and the grand vizier glared at each other for a got minute. And vermithor then responded

Vermithor: Fine! If that is how it should be! Men on the way to the east Wing!

Grand vizier: I humble send you off your Highness.

The grand vizier felt a sigh of relief as vermithor was not yet aware of what had happened to Dillon. At the evening both Ceres and thermidor finally got the letters and set off as soon as they heard it. Ceres took with her all of the men she could gather in an hour which was 1,250,000 soldier's. Yongqi also ended up coming with her to Dolion to ensure her protection. While thermidor gathered 800,000 men in a mere 30 minutes. Now both Ceres and thermidor are rushing to the Palace all that's left is to ensure Dillon's safety until they arrive. As it's finally morning Ceres and thermidor meet at the capitals gate.

Yongqi: My love look it's thermidor!

Ceres: Yes! It really is him! Brother! Brother! I'm here!

Thermidor: Elder sister!

Thermidor rushed to hug yongqi and Ceres.

Thermidor: Elder sister what are you doing here?

Ceres: the grand vizier sent us a letter.

Yongqi: we heard there was trouble here.

Thermidor: Apparently there is. I heard father fell unconscious!

Ceres: What?! Let's rush to the Palace now then!

Yongqi: I agree!

The 3 rushed back to the Palace and meet the vizier. Yongqi told thermidor and Ceres to go to the imperial chamber while he arranges there army and resources. Ceres and thermidor then rushed to see the vizier.

Thermidor: Grand Vizier!

Grand vizier: My Royal Prince! My beloved princess! We have been waiting for you both!

Ceres and thermidor then hugged their old mentor. And asked him what had exactly happened.

Grand vizier: Your brother vermithor barged in the imperial council yesterday. And demanded all of us leave him with the emperor so we did. All we could hear was screaming in the room for a few minutes. Once the prince came out he slammed the door shut and it was complete silence in the room... Until we heard the emperor yelling for us to help. And there we found him. Laying on the ground unconscious with cold sweats.

The vizier could see the horror in Ceres& thermidor's faces.

Thermidor: where is father!

Grand vizier: in the Royal chamber your highnesses.

As they went inside there they saw dillon... Laying on the bed. Unconscious. And unaware that his children was there waiting for him to wake up.

Ceres: Father! Father! Whats wrong with you? What happened? Who did this to you father! (╥﹏╥)

Ceres wept as she saw her father laying there unconscious. She feared that Dillon wouldn't wake up and pass away just like her mother. He was the only parent she had left. She kept on begging for Dillon to wake up and tell her who'd did this to him and why would someone do this to him. Thermidor just stared with rage and tears on his eyes while he imagined how much pain his father must've suffered while he was gone.

Thermidor: Father! I promise you I will KILL whoever did this to you... (๑•̀д•́๑)

The two imperial children refused to leave Dillon's side fearing that he will be killed by a traitor. Vermithor then left to go back to amasya to garner more support and soldiers to take over Dolion. But once he arrived his body was so tired that he collapsed. His body weakened because of all his travels now they wait...
