~~~(Time: 4:12 PM)~~~

Talk about the biggest fucking wrench I've ever seen tossed right in our plans. "If we're to succeed in this task of killing the royal family. The Princesses must be eliminated too. If they're not here, all our work will be in jeopardy of being undone in the future." Helda states exactly what's going through my mind. This is a shit storm.

The rain is heavy outside, and it shows no signs of stopping. Droplets are hitting the windows hard, and thunder and lightning roar through the sky. "There is nothing we can do about it... We need to adapt to the new problems and change. We'll focus on the Queen and her allies. They're likely long gone by now." It's not the best situation.

It's one of the worst things that could've happened to us. Two of our targets have gone missing, and you can argue they're more important than the Queen. Once the Princesses are dead, there will be no bloodline left. Now that option is no longer possible. "Why can't think just be fucking easy for once!?" Hailey lashes out and slams her hand on the table we've gathered around.

Not everything that's happened today is bad news. All the information we learned about guards, security, patterns, the works. It's valuable, and it'll help us. "Relax, Sis. Sometimes, things don't go perfectly, which is a perfect example of that. Since they're gone, we can focus on Queen Oryzox and the Orvello's." The disappearance of two targets narrows our target list down for now.

Sally has been quiet through this, and I know why. She doesn't care about killing the royal family and freeing the Elven Kingdom. Not as much as confronting and killing her family. "What do you think, Sally. I want everyone's perspective." She lifts her eyes from the hard stare into the table and looks at me. Her eyes become gentle.

She leans back in the chair she's sitting in and contemplates her answer. "It's good for us." That's... A good point, actually. "With the Queen distracted trying to find her daughters, it'll be easier to get to her. She'll be less vigilant of her own security." That's an insight that I needed. Everyone exchange looks, and we agree this isn't bad news.

This is great for our efforts to eliminate the Queen and the Orvello family. "Yeah, I agree with Sally. I think we should capitalize on this soon and strike hard. We should move our plans forward." Terox decides to speak, and her idea is something that I love. I don't know how possible it is, but the advantage of attacking in a moment of weakness is powerful. 

Never did I think this discussion with current events would change the direction of our plan to move it forward. I thought we'd have to wait and plan. "Question is, do we have enough information on our enemies forces to deliver a concise blow." Ashburn speaks about what I want to talk about too. There is a lot that can go wrong if we screw it up because of this.

There is silence as his question is contemplated, and I've come to a conclusion, but I'm not the decision-maker. We're working together, and everyone should be considered. "Striking while the iron is hot is the best move we can make right now. Risky? Yes. Rewarding? More so." I throw in my two cents, and this starts to spark everyone to speak about what they think.

It takes a couple of minutes, but everyone gets on the same page and believes striking sooner than later is better. "Since we've reached an agreement, we need to decide the best time to strike. We all know our targets, but since two Princesses are gone, that's more power for other tasks." It's already been decided that Sally and I are taking on the Orvello Estate.

We spend the next hour talking about who goes after who and what to do when a certain target has been killed. All of our planning and plotting has come to an apex. "Then it's decided. We'll sneak into the palace through the passages under the tunnel, and Cera and Sally will attack the Orvello Estate." Helda summarizes in a brief manner what we're doing.

All of this is occurring tomorrow and when we do this. The Elven Kingdom will be free and in shock for a while. "Alright, let's get some rest for the night and prepare for our attack in the morning. We'll strike before noon. It'll limit civilian casualties." This lockdown has helped us in another way. It'll keep the innocent common folk out of the way. 

We all head to different parts of the safe house and take some time to ourselves. Sally is lying next to me. Silently looking at the ceiling and in her own head. She's not clinging to me, and that's a good sign she's ready for tomorrow. "Am I a sick person for being excited to kill them?" Ahh, the moral debate in her has begun.

I've done this before, and it's not bad. She's ready to do this and committed, but killing your family isn't something you do every day. "No, you're not, Sally. Not to me. We all face our demons, and it's fine to be excited about beating them." She turns her head towards me and smiles. Mom is going to love her when they meet. That's a long time from now, though.

~~~(Time: 5:58 PM)~~~

It's exciting to think that we're about to liberate an entire Kingdom come morning. I know that this is going to be remembered forever in annuls of history. I'm going to be immortalized in Gaia. "Do you think the nobles are strong?" Jasmine is assigned to target a group of nobles that are staying in the palace right now. They're supporters of Queen Oryzox.

Our task isn't that simple. Once we're done with our group of targets, we're meeting up with the other and taking on the Queen herself. I'd be able to kill her, but that's something that Helda wants. I'm going to back her up in case the Queen proves too strong for her. Cera and Sally will be off taking care of their own targets.

Sally has been waiting for this for a very long time, and it's not like she needs to wait that much longer. She'll have revenge for what happened to her and her mother. Once this is done, she'll be able to move on with her life. "No, nobles won't be that strong. They'll be easy to kill." My simple answer doesn't satisfy Jasmine, but she accepts it regardless.

~~~(Time: 6:16 PM)~~~

Terox and Melimora are playing The Shattering, and I'm enjoying the time that I've spent with them. Despite my recent problems with Terox, I'm glad I could let go of my stubborn pride and see the truth. In case I do end up dying in battle tomorrow, I want to savor these moments now. Hailey will back me up, but the Queen has lots of powerful items in the Treasury Vaults.

There are good odds that I and others won't come out of this unscathed. I'm planning to get her before she even knows what's happening. Taking her down when all he allies are dead and taken care of. "C'mon! You play that card every time, and I can't do anything about it!! It pisses me off!!" I can't help laughing a little. They're my sisters. I'm glad to have known them.
