Chapter 90: Three birds, one stone.
Lancelot tossed Ha joon into the wooden cell and locked it. The same cell Sinex had was once been locked in… Varlm.
Ha Joon collapsed to the ground.
Pfft!
Lancelot spat as he watched Ha Joon sit up right and rest his back on the wooden wall.
"This fits you even more, don't take it the wrong way, but your presence in Camelot is not needed. You can understand, can you not? This wasn't easy for us either."
Ha Joon slightly raised his head.
"If I had any other way I would have taken the initiative, but Her highness trusted you too much, a simple claim wouldn't cut it, so instead, something grand needed to occur, and that is simply what we have done.
Thanks to the help from a nobleman, we were able to pay the people at the orphanage to put on an act, while also getting someone to dress like you while they were beating women and kids up… that way, people who witnessed it know what they saw… all that was needed was one more push..."
Click!
The sound of guards passing distracted Lancelot. He wouldn't want anyone overheating what he did.
—Clear throat
"In any case, you don't have to worry, we aren't so evil as to let you rot in jail. The people in black will come pick you up in a couple of days, so you hold on till then…"
Lancelot took one more look at Ha Joon, before walking away.
A few minutes passed.
Ha Joon stood up -
Pa!
He slapped himself on the cheeks using both his hands. His face lighting up, he breathed out as if he had been holding his breath for a long time.
'Damn, I almost lost my control there… urgh! I can't stand disgusting people. But hey, at least everything is proceeding as planned, quicker then I anticipated but still a good move.'
He settled on his butt, his arms tucked.
'It now all depends on how well Artoria resolves last. I've done my research, she has never lost a battle, not once, hell, the kingdom of camelot has never lost a war to begin with. They've forgotten what it feels like— but that's not really the issue, they need to understand knights are Knights, and their king…. Is their king. If not attended to, a single knight could easily take over the kingdom.
These people need fear, they need hopelessness to understand how they take it for granted…the protection of their king.'
Ha Joon's eyes held a cold glare-
'The cards have been stacked… I'm killing three birds with one stone.'
[The main quest 'Lonely Goddess' has been completed.]
[Your reward of 3000 Endurance points and 50 skill points has been allocated.]

[Book of Slain (Novice) ]
[This skill allows you to use legendary weapons written within its pages via knowledge.]
'Good, are the soul plates powered up?'
[Yes, all ten soul plates have been powered and are already activated.]
Ha Joon sighed, 'I deserve tons of tiddies after this.'
Baam!
Ha Joon felt something land on his wooden cell house.
"My..love? Are you alive? Can you hear me? Hello? Damn, did I get the right cell? Maybe I should just cut them all down to the ground".
"Sinex?"
"Ahhh!~ My love~♡ are you alright?!" She whispered.
"What are you doing here? How did you even get past the guards?" Ha Joon asked, an unimpressed expression on his face.
"Uhm… I guess I snuck past like you just said, anyway, I came to set you free so we can kill that Belinda bitch, I wanted to do it earlier, but I didn't want to have all the fun."
"I never ordered you to do anything, don't act on your own. When I need your help I'll let you know." Ha Joon cut her off.
There was silence for a while.
"I can't see your face, or see your eyes… but just from your voice, my love, I can tell what you're thinking. Ahh~ it makes me happy to know you still have it in you, go ahead and do it… if you want to burn it all to the ground and stand by you …always~♡"
Ha Joon sighed, "Stop ranting rubbish and tell me what's happening in the castle right now".
"Well the whole place has that someone just died aura. That king lady has been curled up in her room, the knight girl beat up several knights before she went into hiding…hmmm, Yukio hasn't left her room yet, so yeah".
"So basically… they are all distracted."
"Eh?"
"You can go, I'll reach you when I need your help."
°°°
"Can I masturbate to your voice while your spea-"
"Sinex!"
"Hai hai, I'm going, I'm going. Take care love~".
And once again, Ha Joon was all alone in his dark cell, accompanied by only his thoughts.

All 900 of the Red Wings were present. Each one dressed in their black cloak, taking different positions on the mountains as night settled.
Right in front of their view was the great Royal capital in Camelot.
They were prepared.
Scorpion was seated on a small rock, 002 and Zex standing beside him.
"Are you serious? You want us to attack Camelot tomorrow? Even if we are strong , Camelot has at least 10,000 soldiers, we are outnumbered. We don't have enough time to meet the king and rally our own soldiers." 002 complained, trying to keep her voice low.
"We are not attacking all of Camelot, geez, just the main capital. We'll get the Traveler and leave their main capital with so much damage they'd barely be able to recover from it." Scorpion responded.
"How do you suggest we do that? And I thought you made a deal with that knight to not harm the people of Camelot in exchange for the Traveler?" Zex asked, his eyes filled with suspicion.
Ever since he and Scorpion came back to Unakel to face the Goddess, he had noticed a few changes, Scorpion had grown abnormally strong and he was smarter – not just him, everyone in the group found it weird, but could not question it.
Scorpion took his time, and with a smile he replied-
"Simple, we'll reduce their soldiers…. before daybreak."
