Mzuma grabbed the railing of a building and slid down its wall only to leap onto a roof with better positioning. He aimed his weapon at the zealots rushing through the streets and blasted them down one by one. Based on everything that had happened, he never expected himself to be here. Thaqoal was right though. This was bigger than him. This was about the future of Stella.
Meanwhile, the others were assisting with securing the other gates. Hildegard's court hadn't arrived yet making her incredibly vulnerable to a coup. As life would have it, the Stellans were here first and felt as if they had no choice but to help out to ensure that the coronation would go through. Mzuma recognized a familiar face battling the zealots below in the streets and wondered for a second if he would help out or not.
"Tch, fuck me."
With a quick blast, Mzuma cleared his path. Wilhelm turned around and looked up only to see Mzuma with a cigarette in his mouth and a cannon in his hand.
"No hard feelings, right? We're on the same side for now," Mzuma scoffed.
It was that damn Quetza. She had supported Brunhild's claim to the throne to cause more chaos. She probably shared the information about their arrival to Sachsia and with that Brunhild would know when Hildegard would be most vulnerable. Mzuma was blinded by hatred before and couldn't see that Quetza had manipulated him as well. It was almost as if that bitch could only get turned on by death and demise.
"I'll take whatever I can get right now. Even you. It's not about us today, it's about Hildegard and the future of both our countries," Wilhelm replied.
Hildegard's promise to Thaqoal to return the lands made Mzuma change his mind about acknowledging her as the next heir of the Boscosi lands. She would be a better neighbour than her father. In the end, he was a weapon, the same as Wilhelm. They both had blood on their hands. The only way they could redeem themselves was by protecting the future of the next generation and setting aside their personal ambitions.
"What the fuck are you waiting for, Boscosi bastard? Go and secure the eastern gate!" Mzuma shouted.
Wilhelm quickly pushed forward along with his troops to battle the zealots and secure the eastern gate of the city. He could've never imagined himself battling side by side with Mzuma to protect Bosco's fu-, nay the future of both their countries together.
