Ron, Capital City if Reinfield which consists of 100 Noble family and 50 High Noble Families. In this there are four High Noble Families which dominates others. The other people who live in this city are mostly high ranking officials in the army and Kingdoms government.
There is a school for Combat and Magic which used to accept students from all races, placed near the West part of the Ron and the Palace is located in the North and Market placed in the South part. In the East there are Guilds and slum area around the corner of the south side of East part and there exist Port on north side of East part. The Central Part of the city consists of Medical Center, Bank and Temple of QADESHTU which is also the head of other temples in the Kingdom.
Development wise it is a well-developed city compared to the other three cities in the Kingdom and it is also run by the direct command of George Sull Ichi, the King of Reinfield from the one of the four dominant High Noble families ‘Sull Ichi’. The other three cities are governed by : city Kal by Joe Sull Ni,city Cili by Pal Sull San and city Lada by Sam Sull Shi.
Inside the head Temple of Qadeshtu , a man around his mid-30s is anxiously waiting near the High Priest room with a paper. And enters the room when he is called.
Den Reinfield: “Sit Jain, What is this urgent matter you want to discuss with me?”
Jain: “There is a problem I came across when I was going through the document of Slave Trading, your Excellency”
Den: “What is this you speak of? (With narrowed eyes)”
Jain: ”Your Excellency, the slaves which were sold twelve years before were high numbered compared to other years sir”
Den:”What do you mean?”
Jain:”Sir, The slaves that were sold to slave merchants were higher compared to now and the number exceeds around 500 sir”
Den: ”Well that really is high and also the incident happened on those days, that is really something to worry about. Did you find the information of the slave traders, sellers and buyers?”
Jain:”Well about that, the slave merchants are directly connected to Dark Guild and also belongs to Uslfar Kingdom. So acquiring information about them is next to impossible.”
Den: “Jain, I appointed you personally as the Head of Reinfield Merchant Guild but you say this now after twelve years and whats more is that not even worthy information.”
Jain:”(flustered by the angriness of Den) Sorry my Excellency, but due to the war expedition and governing the Guild and other stuff I was unable to gather information and due to the long time it became harder to gather any more than this”
Den: ”Excuses after excuses. Ok is there any other particulars points out any danger due to this?”
Jain: ”Well sir, Recently there are lot of bandit activities particularly towards our kingdoms merchants and nobles travelling to other kingdom.”
Den: ”Are there any connection to these. That f*cking Queen. Is this what she planned?"

At the rebels hut
After Woden declared himself as the son of the previous king and queen, he told Helius, Nail and Tia not mention about it and left for bath since he didn’t take bath for more than seven days.
The bathroom was pool type and he started to ponder of the obtained information.
Woden:[(in his thoughts) Well now mom. What kind of plan did you work out? Are you trying to build resistance force or planned some other thing. I just can’t understand anymore. If you planned all these why didn’t you escape from the fortress? You didn’t even passed these information to me](suddenly two tub falling sound echoed in the room)
Immediately Woden took fighting stance thinking that some enemy entered the room only to find two girls standing there covering the private parts in towel with the blushing when looking at the naked Woden.
Tia:”(flustered) What are doing here at this hour and nakedly”
Woden:”Well I’m taking bath. And what are you people doing here. I’m positive I told you guys that I’m going to take bath right”
Nail: ”Sorry I didn’t except this. Well take your time we will come by later”
Tia left the room pouting and Nail left while seeing him once again and smiled at him.
Woden:”Ruined my thoughts. And what’s with these girls. Whatever. I can ask about the details from helius. Let’s get moving before some other people ruin my mood”
After changing, Woden visited Helius to obtain more information
Woden: “Hello there. May I intrude you?”
Helius:”Sure. More like I want have a long chat with you myself”
Woden:”Is that so. Well, first I want to know what happened in the palace before my birth and what are the instructions given to you by my mother. Then I will answer your questions. Ok?”
Helius: “Surely or rather this is also one of the instructions given to me by Queen Maria in case I meet you. Alright to begin with King Grey Reinfield is a very powerful yet a kind king towards everybody and also a person who thrust everyone likewise. Well that habit also allowed other kingdom to have a friendly relationship with ours and even Demon Kingdom too trusted us. Well King Grey doesn’t like to wage war against Demon Continent in the name of God but also this will cause a heavy loss to ourselves too. Den on the other hand even though he knows about this but pressured King Grey to wage war even though other kingdom liked to in peace”
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Helius:”(preparing something to drink which indicated a long talk) Well Queen Maria who is not naive like King Grey first collected information about Den and his connection and what he after. You see, Queen Maria found out that Den and main High Noble family collaborated and aiming the throne. Queen Maria passed this information to King Grey many times but King refused saying that he trusts his brother and also some noble may be jealous towards the success of the Den becoming High Priest.”
Helius: ”Well Queen Maria knew she could not change the King so she devised a long term plan when even the Kingdoms people started to spread bad rumors about the King which indicated the usurp of the Throne.”
Helius: “Well before saying the Queens plan, I would like to know what you know about the political regulations on other kingdoms”
Woden: “Well all I know is that these days Reinfield is not welcomed friendly on other Kingdoms and also each kingdom has a large influence towards their specialty guilds”
Helius: “Well that’s true. But you doesn’t know their inheritance policies it seems. Well I will tell you about it.
The kingdom Reinfield, Jonar, Seage and Uslafr are ruled by their respective Royal Families where as the kingdom Tenri and Sumai operates in different way. To put simple their respective guild leaders are the ruler of the kingdom too. Well more than that the Tenri Kingdom was ruled by the Head of the Council of Mage and Sumai Kingdom is ruled by the Head of the Merchant Guild and there is no inheritance policy in there.
Queen Maria who is from Tenri Academy is also one of most outstanding member of the Council of Mage which offered her to be the next head of the Council of Mage. But she refused it after she met King Grey and they respected her even more so. Do you know why?”
Woden: “Well for not being greedy for the power that is held by the Council of Mage right.”
Helius: “Well that too and also there is no rules in becoming Queen of both kingdoms and yet she didn’t accepted and also helped them even after she became Queen of different country. Well I will say the plan devised by Queen Maria now:
1. Sell the well trusted Nobel families as slave and place them away from the kingdom and train them to be rebels in different location
2. Most trusted royal guards were replaced and send them to the rebels and create an army to take back the throne
Well a problem occurred when the trusted Noble families said that they too will fight to death rather than being rebels and compromised that they will sell their children’s and their young family members as slaves.
At first we royal guards too objected if being relived from the post but Queen ordered us so that we will train the young ones and guide them properly in case they were unable to win Den and the other parties and also guide the Child of Queen too. That is you my Prince”
Saying so Helius bowed to respect him
Woden:”Well, don’t Helius. Right now you are but a Bandit and Rebel Army Head and I’m just a brat who just started to travel the world. But here is my question or doubt, how did she did these and why she didn’t escape from the fortress and why you people didn’t tried to help my mother or father and why such an elaborated plan?(he narrowed his eyes towards Helius)”
Helius: (flinched for a second and started to wonder) [is he really a 12 year old child. I mean what kind of child can make a killing intent that is capable of even me to afraid and also make to kneel me with just words alone and also his understanding capability]
Woden: ”Helius you have all the time to pounder in your own thoughts after our conversation ends. Please answer my question?”
Helius:”Sorry. Well about that to being with first I will answer you how Queen achieved her objective without the kingdom noticing it. Since she has lot of influence on the Council of Mage and she asked her old connection from adventure to contact the Slave Traders from the Dark Guild directly from Uslafr itself. The Dark Guild from Uslafr follows a particular code i.e they will never reveal the information about their clients no matter what that is to say even the Head of Dark Guild cannot do that and also they do what they want for the client if the right amount is paid unless it doesn’t break their code and other policies. So using lots of money from Council of Mage by selling her research rights and adventure days and from the trusted noble, she contacted many Slave Traders and arranged the transaction of young ones to different people mainly worthless or money greedy people and was later assassinated by us since we are the ones who selected these people. Later the Council of Mage helped us by sending few trusted teachers to train the young ones”
Helius: (sips the drink and signs)“As for rescuing King and Queen we were able to rescue them from the fortress safely, my prince (smiled)”
Woden:”(surprised to hear the news) What do you mean my mother was rescued?”
Helius:”Well you will know when we see them, my prince. They were placed safely in a secured location. I will take you there now and I will also tell you about how we rescued them on the way”
