Chapter 1363
That evening, Samson returned with a scout and hastily reported, “Your Highness, Mr. Harper has successfully
rallied our scattered troops and secured 500 warhorses from the Spencer family. He is making his way back now.
If the pace holds, he will arrive in three days.”
Yuvan sprang to his feet, his heart pounding with excitement. “Is that true?”
“Absolutely, Your Highness. The scout is waiting outside. You may call him in to confirm.”
“Bring him in!” Yuvan sat back down, his pulse racing.
At last, he had gathered all the forces-but the news of the Spencer family providing 500 warhorses caught him
off guard. Since the fallout over Violet's incident, he had severed ties with the Spencer family.
The scout entered, kneeling before Yuvan. “Your Highness, Mr. Harper sends word that the private army has
assembled. Also, Mr. Murphy, one of Prince Nicholas’ advisors, is leading 5,000 men and 500 warhorses in
support. Prince Nicholas has one request-he wants the rescue of Prince Hayden.”
Yuvan froze at the mention of Nicholas’ name. He had courted Nicholas’ favor before, but the man’s intentions
had always been unclear. Thus, Yuvan had long since distanced himself from him.
Now, it seemed the people who had once been his allies had all backed out, while Nicholas-whom he had ruled
out-was the one stepping forward.
It made sense. Nicholas‘ dad, Hayden, was still trapped in the capital. Officially, he was in the capital, but in
reality, he was being held as a hostage. It was clear that Nicholas must be furious about this.
Nicholas’ character was well-known-refined, gentlemanly, and deeply devoted to his family. His reputation for
devotion toward his parent was famous throughout the southern provinces. His elderly father, alone and trapped
in the capital, must have left him with no choice but to reach out for help.

He had agreed to the feigned surrender plan. When Wayne had first suggested it, Yuvan had considered it far too
risky. Now, with the pieces falling into place, the plan might just work. If they could lure Thomas into the city and
trap him, it would be the perfect opportunity.
Chester's forces were scattered, preoccupied with quelling the bandit uprisings. He would be unable to lend aid.
Once Thomas and his army were eliminated, Yuvan would no longer need to worry about Chester. Then, it would
be tto march straight into the capital.
The Mystic Army wouldn't be enough to stop him.
The scout returned with a carrier pigeon, making it possible to contact Saul.
Yuvan wrote a letter, and within four hours, the pigeon returned.
Yuvan examined the letter carefully-it was indeed in Saul’s handwriting. The message instructed him to release
the pigeon and begin the feigned surrender at noon two days later, on the third of July. By nightfall, Thomas and
his forces were to be drawn into the city. (1
The plan was for Harvey to pretend that he had captured Yuvan and escort him out of the city, then invite
Thomas into the city for negotiations.
The plan, though it seemed feasible, was inherently risky. Yuvan felt a knot of unease tightening in his chest. He
called for Wayne privately to join him in the study, asking him to perform a divination to see if this course of
action would prove successful.
