    Tim withheld his rage as he growled through his teeth, "W-We''re not peasants!"


    "Not peasants?!"


    Cara snorted, standing akimbo. "Then what are you?! We fed you and raised you! Everything you ever had came from the Quill family, and you''re now turning against us?! Bunch of ingrates!"


    "Shut up!" Eric bellowed as he ran forward, pushing Cara away while bellowing at the Quills, "Listen here our fathers were fallenrades of Governor Quill! He took us in, so we don''t owe any of you anything!This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "You''ve disrespected us for so long, even using our families as hostages, and I say it''s enough! We will no longer serve you from now on, so get your own guards!"


    "What?!"


    Cara was the first to fly into rage at the soldiers'' insubordination.


    Grabbing Eric by the wrist, she screamed, "You peasants! You don''t get to have a say! Don''t forget that we still have your families!"


    "Fuck off!"


    Eric shook his wrist violently, knocking Cara on the floor before whipping out his gun and pointing it at her, "Another word, and I''ll shoot you! Try me!" Eric''s furious re left Cara petrified on the ground, all the curses she had in mind suddenly stuck.


    She had certainlye to realize that the soldiers were going all out now, and she would really be killed if she kept being stupid.


    "Listen now, everyone!"


    Tim strode out, barking coldly, "We were going to pin our hopes on Mr. Lawrence, but since he does not want to intervene, we have no choice but to take this into our own hands! Let our families go, and we can go our separate ways!"


    "Yes!"


    The other soldiers agreed, many of whom drew their guns and trained them at members of the Quill family.


    The turn of events certainly left them


    all in shock and panic-first, Saul


    was


    ted, and now, thet


    soldiers


    were mounting a coup.


    It was really over for them!


    "Hmph. Did you really think you can leave just because you want to?"


    Nheless, that was when an icy voice spoke from the crowd.


    Everyone was shocked-now was not the time to upset these soldiers!


    If they really get pissed off, they would start shooting, and there would be rivers of blood!


    "Rex Quill...?!"


    Nheless, Tim and Eric were stunned when they saw the youth striding toward them.


    Rex was


    the worst member in


    the Quill fact, he was the


    one


    broke Tim''s hip in a


    vel


    sparring match.


    He was an aplished Birthright-ranked elite despite his youth, but most importantly, he was endlessly cunning.


    Tim and Eric even heard rumors that Rex was ready to assassinate Governor Quill.


    And seeing Rex step forward, Cara was immediately delighted.


    Running up to her son, she cried as sheined, "My boy, you have to help me here! Just look-those peasants pushed me around and my hands are bleeding!"
