"Lord Has..." said William as he quickly glanced at Gregor making eye contact.
"Yes, I believe lord Has might be a traitor..." replied lord Florence with a serious look.
"A traitor?!" replied William.
"A traitor?!" said Gregor at the same time.
"Pardon me" replied Gregor embarrassed.
"It's alright" replied lord Florence.
"What makes you say lord Has is a traitor?" asked William.
"Yes well, perhaps I should start from the beginning..." said lord Florence
"Please do" replied William
"Lord Has family have always played a small roll in Feros, his family have mostly served as a vassal to my family assigned to guard the north. As you all know the only nation to the north is the Glendale Kingdom our allies. No battles are expected to be fought there, so it's considered a useless post. The Has family have always resented my family for it. The Has family main source of revenue is the corn fields, although their fields are quite large not much capital comes from it." said lord Florence
"I've always felt what was done to the Has family was unfair. Therefore, three years ago I convinced the other lords to give the Has family a more important role. That's when I made lord Has head of supplies for the army." said lord Florence.
"Ah yes, I heard of this. The other lords made a big deal of this, head of supplies may not seem that important at first glance. But lot's of strategy is required to properly supply an army in key locations specially in times of war." replied Gregor
"Correct which is why I fought hard to get him the position, lord Has gladly accepted the position he said something about "finally getting the recognition he deserves". I thought it was odd the way he worded things that day but I just took it as him being drunk and happy." said lord Florence
"I'm sure there was more to it, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation" replied William
"Don't get me wrong I trust the lords of Feros with my life and would fight to the death by their side any day. Naturally my own personal feelings have nothing to do when dealing with a nations affairs, specially when dealing with a nations military force. Therefore, I've placed several of my men in key locations to ensure everything is running smoothly and should any lord need my assistance I would have the solution before they even ask. You could say I'm very meticulous in that way." said lord Florence
"You're saying you planted spies on lord Has" asked Gregor but quickly realized he misspoke and was embarrassed.
"I wouldn't call them spies more like quality control, anyways at first everything was running smoothly for the most part. Mostly everything that is except for one thing. The report my men were giving me on the quality, quantity, and cost weren't matching the reports lord has was reporting to the army." said lord Florence with a disappointed face
"So he's a thief that doesn't make him a traitor, does it?" asked William
"Stealing doesn't make him a traitor although it's still a crime to steal from the army it's not punishable by death. To be honest with you, I noticed this two years ago and never reported lord Has" said lord Florence
"Never reported him...? why not?" ask William
"Lord Has family has always been one of the less wealthy nobles of Feros, he wasn't taking much at first about ten thousand here and there. It was when he slowly started to increase the amount he was taking, to the point that it was excessive. I realized then that I had made a mistake in not saying anything to him, it only gave him confidence to take more. I decided to talk to him about it, thinking he wouldn't try anything as crazy as that again. A year ago, I confronted him about it, he seemed terrified and promised never to do it again. He even went as far as to beg me to let him keep his position." said lord Florence.
"I felt pity once more and let him keep his position as head of army supplies, another mistake on my part. You see most of the information regarding tactics, and where we'll strike next is kept with utmost secrecy and only a few generals and lords know the full situation. However, as head of army supplies lord Has must know where to deliver supplies and what quantities need to be delivered to those locations" said lord Florence with a slight frown holding his glabella with his right index finger and right thumb.
"Meaning he knows where the army will be, how many men will be there, and for how long they'll be there for" replied William
"Yes, we believe he has been selling this information to our enemies" said lord Florence
"Wait this sounds familiar for some reason... but these are not my memories these are general Ja'aduk's memories" thought to himself William
"Black viper..." said William
"Huh that's lord Has family crest" said lord Florence
"Tell me did you send and army of five thousand men to attack the red tower around ten days ago?" asked William
"Well actually we sent them three months ago but since they were to move in stealth they should have arrived around ten days ago. Although, we haven't received word from them yet they should have taken the tower by now. How do you know of this young master, this was a covert operation" said lord Florence
"You were right lord Has was a traitor, those men are all dead." replied William
"Dead?! How?! How would you know that?!" asked lord Florence
"Moj Dak and I were there and witnessed the whole thing, what's more I overheard one of the Warlocks say something about the black viper giving them accurate information." said William as he looked down unable to face lord Florence.
"The great wizard was there..." replied lord Florence
"It's the truth, I swear it." said William.
"Wait! No it can't be... My... My... younger sister is with them..." replied lord Florence
"Your sister..." replied William
"Yes, she's a sergeant in that battalion..." replied lord Florence.
"Your sister she wouldn't happen to be a 9th star silver, she had brown hair green eyes pale skin and had a golden lion on her left shoulder..." asked William
"Yes, that's her! Is she alright?!" asked lord Florence flustered no longer maintaining his composure.
"I'm sorry... she didn't survive the attack..." replied William apologetically
Tears began to run down lord Florence eyes.
"Tell me what happened exactly?!" asked lord Florence
"They were ambushed with a pincer movement, by a larger force then they were expecting. A Warlock Captain, a Warlock Lieutenant, a Warlock Sergeant, 20,000 goblins mortal realm, 10,000 living corpses mortal realm, and a Warlock Wizard all lead by a 9 star platinum rank Warlock General named Ja'aduk...
