"It is! However, that's a topic which doesn't have proper conclusions and judgements. Everyone has their own point of view in it." Louis said, kissing her forehead.

"Still, it's a important topic, Brina. So, let's try to drill it into you as much as we can" Louis said. However, his words gave her another meaning too… a double meaning.

But Brina decided to ignore it. He really seems serious and it's obvious he didn't mean to get it in a double meaning way.

It's her mind which was thinking dirty.

"How did rebellion start?" Louis questioned and answered it.

"There are many stories about how rebellion started, baby. The most popular ones are-"

"Some people say that it started right in this Academy. And the most popular and accepted one is that it was started discreetly by the Royal family of Kingdom Wentris" Louis said.

"What do you believe?" Brina asked.

"I believe that Kingdom Wentris started all this shit. Actually, Kingdom Wentris and Kingdom Phliion were pretty close despite the disparity between their powers. Ventris is strong, power greedy however, Philion was average yet rich and peaceful. They even don't follow traditions much. No bride selection too" Louis said.

"It's believed that the Royal family of Kingdom Wentris joined it's hands with some outsider's and attacked the Royal family of Philion. It's said that someone from the Royal family of Phliion provoked someone powerful in the Royal family of Wentris'' he said.

Brina nodded her head.

Of course she knows all these.

She knows very well.

"It's really a pity isn't it?" Brina asked.

"It indeed is! Phliion was once a happy Kingdom" Louis answered as he combed his fingers through her hair.

He is in deep thought.

If this 'rumor' is true, other kingdoms are really doomed.

Kingdom Wentris has a lot of military power and external power.

Even their Royal family is said to be scary!

Louis coughed, clearing his throat. It's better not to think pessimistic for now.

Though Rebellion is escalating very fastly, Louis is confident that all the Kingdoms will work together to stop it.

"Let's move further," he said but Brina shook her head.

"Tell me more about it, Louis. I can go through books or other resources for political affairs and international affairs. But, these, only you can tell me" Brina said.

Louis sighed.

Anyway, she has to know all these because they would be facing all this together, as King and Queen of the Kingdom in future.

"This Rebellion is poisonous Brina. It started spreading its poison right in the heart of every Kingdom. They show the greed for power and attract the Noble families towards them. This started creating moles and it has become difficult to identify who are loyal and who aren't."

"To be frank, our Kingdom is a hot spot now. This Rebellion target's the Kingdom at its lowest. And, unfortunately, we are on the same page. As bride selections are going on, each and every House are competing against each other. It makes the court very weak. It's bothering me a lot recently" Louis said.

Brina caressed his cheeks.

"Don't be worried, Louis baby. We already know that Olivia's maternal family is the mole here. All we have to do is stop Olivia from becoming Queen. And, it doesn't stop there, Louis"

"The real one starts there. We have to be ready to defend ourselves from the attack of rebellion. As Olivia wouldn't get to sit on the 'power chair' they will strike directly without wasting time." Brina said.

"In fact, it could be soon. As soon as Olivia and her family finds out that her chances of winning are shrinking, they might strike" she said.

Louis looked at Brina with surprise.

Sometimes he feels like she is more expensive than him and others in these matters. However, this is she!

She is naturally calculative and very good in analysing and predicting things. Her insight is top notch.

"I am just sharing my view. I am stating one of the possibilities, that's it" Brina said, pouting.

"Okay" Louis said.

He didn't want to force her to talk. For the past few days she is disturbed and restless. So, he didn't want to add any burden.

"I can use all the power from Royal guards, love. But, the main problem is we really don't know who their mole is. I can't risk leaking all our plans to them and open the door of destruction with my own hands" Louis said.

"And, truth to be said, I started suspecting some people who could be moles. Me and some of our loyal people are now in the work of finding them" he said.

"And, this leaves us with very few loyal people. It's hopeless" Brina added for which Louis nodded his head.

"I really don't understand why my dad and Ethan neglected all this! By the time I took charge, their reluctance became an incorrigible mistake. Now, the Kingdom is in danger" Louis said.

Brina gave him a comforting smile.

"It's not a gone case yet, dear. Even a few people could be enough to stop this from happening. All we need is a proper plan with many twists and turns." Brina said.

Her eyes twinkled with unknown familiarity and empathy.

Meanwhile, Louis just looked at Brina. His greyish black eyes are unable to read.

Why does he feel like he heard some familiar words from someone he knows.

For a split second he remembered Beatrice.

"I already had my own people from the States in the field. They were already watching Olivia's family." Louis said.

"And, I asked the most loyal guards to keep an eye on other noble families. They have been informing me and I started nothing down the names of suspecting people. All we need to do is strike" he said.

Brina nodded her head. "I see a silent killer here" he teased.

Louis laughed. "Am I?" he asked, tracing her lips with his index finger. His eyes hungry for her.

If they are already married, he would have pounced on her and ravished her very thoroughly. All he wants to do now is to explore her... explore every nook and corner of her wonderful body.

Meanwhile, Brina immediately bit it, making Louis look at her with wide eyes. She couldn't take the hungry look anymore. It made her feel exposed and strangely, started arousing her.

"Are you hungry for something and started assuming this as d-" Louis was about to tease but stopped when Brina smacked his arm.

"Stop...stop" she said, closing her ears with her hands, making Louis laugh.

And, at same time, the clock ticked twelve, making the pendulum sound.

"Ahh, it's already twelve, Louis! We wasted more time and I studied very less" she pouted.

"But our conversation was very productive. You are a great motivator, Brina. And, you have everything a Queen wants. After your exam, let's assemble and all of us have to divide our work. Let's keep it a secret and try our best to stop the first wave of attack" Louis said.

"Before they make the next attack, we will be married and we can work with stabilizing the court and making agreements with other Kingdoms," Louis said.

"Perfect! I am sure all of us together can stop this without involving Royal guards and others. As we don't know who are loyal and who aren't, it's better to function as a small group" Brina agreed.

"But, even if one of us fails, everything crumbles," Brina added.

Only she knows the heavy consequences of these.

"We will make sure, nothing of such sort happened, okay? Louis said, caressing her cheeks.

"We all stand together despite what it holds for us," he said.

Brina smiled and smacked her lips on his cheek. "You are true," she said.

Meanwhile, Louis laughed.

"I should be the one doing that." he said.

He couldn't help but thank God for sending Brina into his life.

She not only shares his love but also responsibilities!

That's rare!

"We are together, always. No matter what" Brina said, using the same words he said to her.

"Yes. I still stand on it, Brina. I do know that there is something more about you, something very superior and special. But, remember that no matter who you were or what you have done in the past, it doesn't change anything" Louis said, kissing her forehead.

Brina's eyes filled with tears as she nodded her head, gratefully.

"Good. Let's sleep now" Louis said.

….

Next morning…

Brina directly went to Morgana's mansion.

Although Morgana isn't there, Remus was there.

And, he was in some meeting with his people when she entered the study room.

"What are you doing?" Brina asked him.

"Me? I am stalking" he said.

"Who are you stalking online?" Brina questioned as she leaned over.

"I am trying to find out what those villains are planning. Why are they quiet?" he sighed.

"Their next target could be Aletros. I think they are planning something big, Remus."

"Kingdom Aletros (Louis's) isn't as weak as Kingdom Philion. So, they had to be cautious and that's why they aren't doing anything reckless" Brina said.
