Maximillian had just woken up in his room when Sarah came bursting in. She was shouting frantically, and soon enough Nicolai and William both came into the room.
"Whoa! What's the matter? What's so important?" exclaimed Maximillian.
Sarah immediately burst into frantic speech. "Your majesty, in all the lands beyond here, it is known that you have abdicated. After some research, we discovered a plot called the Pdonis Plot. We are not sure how they managed to send a message with our papers, unless-"
"Unless someone we know is a traitor." finished Nicolai.
William held up a piece of paper. "This is the message that was sent to all the major governments of the world under your control.".
Maximillian read:
THE EMPEROR MAXIMILLIAN HAS ABDICATED AND CURRENTLY LIVES IN EXILE IN THE ALPEDELLE MOUNTAINS. WE HAVE DETECTED SHADOW CLONES OF THE EMPEROR GOING AROUND THE WORLD. SHOULD YOU SEE ONE OF THESE, KILL IT ON SIGHT!
The threesome waited with baited breath. until Maximillian finally said, "There is only one choice. I flee to the Alpedelle Mountains."
"But- but- your majesty you can't-" began Sarah.
"Unfortunately I must."
After that thye all went silent, as Maximillian, along with William, Sarah, Nicolai, Reinhard, Joan, Uriah, Merlin, Zenon, Hi-En, Tennin, Philinus, and a new recruit at the palace named Charion L'Champiyon with his two brothers, Chamile and Chastine. The group traveled silently and invisibly (Merlin had cloaking charms) to the Alpedelle Mountains.
