( Hollywing the) “Good, now any attempts to change their minds has been futile....” Vincent started to say as the young man moved from the table and over the board that consisted of a large map of the kingdom- marked by colorful pins regarding each rebel attack or possibly sightings of them, “Trying to eradicate them has been difficult.” He continued on to speak as he looked at the board and placing a pin in one spot to mark one of the more recent attacks that luckily none of his people were killed yet a large shipment of supplies had been taken the only good thing about that was it meant the group had no ‘real’ support line to run things unlike the ruler. “From what we have gathered from captured rebels or their turncoats, the leader of the rebellion is someone called Wolf.”

OliverOliver tilted his head thoughtfully at the name. "Did they confess the intention of the rebellion?" he asked with the raise of an eyebrow. It will be helpful to know the "why" behind this stunt, he mused silently. Though, the prisoners probably won't be willing to answer.. ( Lily~Myth )

( Hollywing the) “What do you think? Apparently they believe me unfit as ruler!” Vincent snorts in a rather childish manner however he clears his throat upon noticing his small outburst, “Or they happen to not like the Order itself.... even when the organization stayed in the background we still had enemies.” This statement was of course true since no group could have lasted long without those who were against them yet it hadn’t been his idea to make the group’s presence more in the spotlight- that had been his predecessor’s idea which he didn’t mind it as many influential families both poor, middle-class and rich classes that also kept it thriving for centuries.

OliverOliver blinked, lowering his gaze slightly at the Ruler's angry tone of voice. However, he didn't have a hard time believing either guess made by Vincent. With that outburst, some could very well argue he was unfit for leadership. Yet it was also very possible that the grudge was against the group itself. Either way, we need to be able to pull them onto our side."Could we send one of our knights to join the Rebellion as a spy?" he suggested with a raise of an eyebrow. "They could report information at the end of each week, keeping up-to-date with plotting." ( Lily~Myth)

( Hollywing the) Vincent turned to look at the commander as he listened to him speak, “Already in progress..... however I have heard nothing back,” he replied which when the first start of the riots came out he did send some of the “spy-worthy” knights to join the rivaling group that had been thought out by some of the elder members of the Order who did have his trust- only for their wisdom that is. “It is either they are keeping their heads down to gain trust...... or they are dead and their bodies are buried in an unmarked grave.” He then explained in further explanation of what he meant.

OliverOliver slowly nodded as he murmured, "I see." He tilted his head to the side as he tried to come up with another idea to sway the Rebellion. "Perhaps we should do an act of warning," he mused. "Show them what happens to those who dare stand up against us." He remained vague as he wondered what his own statement meant - what would put the rebels in their place? ( Lily~Myth)

( Hollywing the) Vincent suddenly grinned as he listened more to the commander, “An act of warning....” he echoed quietly with him turning from the board and facing the other man. “What kind of act do you suggest should be done? “ he then asked since the first thought to come into his head was executing their rebel-prisoners who were of little use to them anymore, another was that they could throw a parade of sorts to display power that they were not affected by their silly revolt....among other ideas.

OliverThough Oliver didn't show it on his face, he was slightly unnerved by Vincent's silent excitement. "Perhaps we could have the prisoners tortured slowly until their minds break," he murmured softly under his breath. That might get to the rebels, but they're oddly unpredictable. Would it work?( Lily~Myth)

( Hollywing the) “Brilliant,” Vincent said with a small clap of his hands not in joy of torture- blood would stain his clothes and he didn’t like getting his hands dirty, that would be up to another member of their prestigious Order. “Do not worry Oliver, I will have another to supervise that plan....” he explained quickly to the commander since he needed him to help keep things in line however before he could speak further a guard entered the room without knocking. “Sir! We have sightings of-“ the knight began to speak however closing her mouth shut quickly upon seeing the ruler and the commander talking in depth it seemed in front of the board, she stayed silent for a moment until the king sighed in some annoyance then motioning for her to speak. “Your majesty, Commander Clifton..... there have been sightings of some rebels near a village to the West, the hobbit village.”

OliverOliver's eyes widened slightly as he glanced sideways at the Ruler to see how Vincent would react. This may be an opportunity to put this plan into action, he thought with a tinge of excitement. We can regain control over the kingdom once and for all. "Should we send some knights?" he asked.

( Hollywing the) Vincent listened to the news quietly however he couldn’t help but feel giddy at the aspect of getting some more news or getting closer to ending this silly revolt, “Sounds like an excellent idea, why don’t you lead it?” He turned to the commander which he figured would do the man some good to get out of the castle for some fresh air and perhaps track down a solid lead that can get them to rooting out the rebel group through the head.

OliverOliver blinked with surprise, but nodded his head obediently. He turned to the knight that brought the news. "Can you meet me at the castle gate with four other knights?" he requested firmly. "Tell them to brace themselves for confrontation with the rebels." Even though he did his best to look strong, he couldn't help but panic on the inside. I can only hope that this goes well...

( Hollywing the if you want, I can timeskip to the village) “Yes sir!” The knight spoke with her saluting to the commander with her then giving a quick bow to them both before leaving the room and closing the door behind her, leaving the two higher ranking officials in the room. Vincent turned over to the commander, “Once you get the village, send a pigeon.” This was the fastest form of news travel for the kingdom and the birds themselves special breed for their speed- it wold the knights less then three days to get there and the birds themselves only one; fifteen hours if it’s a good day. Granted the king did hate waiting for more news upon this new sighting however he learned the hard way of being patient, this was something that would just have to wait.

OliverOliver nodded to the Ruler as he walked toward the door. He turned back to say to Vincent over his shoulder, "I won't let you down." He then looked back out of the room and exited, bracing himself for the worst with the Resistance. ( Lily~Myth)

( Hollywing the) Vincent glanced over in the man’s direction, “Good luck.” Which he then turned to face the board once more and adding a new pin to it over the village of hobbits where if memory served him correctly they were known for their farms, parties and wine not that he should know of the later two, once the commander had left and was out of earshot from the room did he mutter quietly to himself. “Pray that you do not...” (Timeskip? They can arrive at the village)
