Chapter 2 ~The Plan ~

Somewhere beyond the kingdom of King William, there was a place no one knew of…near the mountains, a castle lay there near a lake and was surrounded by a large forest. And yes it is coincidentally, Rothbart's Lair.

Inside the castle window a silhouette could be seen. It was a man and an old woman cackling evilly over a pot of boiling brew.

"Today's the day!" Rothbart shouted to the old woman, "The day I get to finally humiliate and destroy King William and then I shall take over his kingdom!"

"And how do think we will accomplish that, Master?" the old woman asked

"Well, first I shall devise a plan so devious and evil that no other villain in the history of villainy has ever done before, and then I will carry it out so perfectly that even the people of the town will never even suspect it! And haven't I mentioned that in the first chapter?"

The old woman could only nod her head in agreement, since after all, she was just the henchwoman and her say in this wouldn't even count as anything, especially to Rothbart. The guy who thought everything would go as he had planned, but in the end never really worked, just like all the other plans such as making the king die of boredom or the plan wherein they attempted to scare the queen to death with a spoon monster. She hoped that this time the plan would actually work.

"Listen up! I shall now tell you the plan…" Rothbart called out to his assistant

Rothbart whispered the plan to his attendant, waving his arms in excitement every now and then.

"Yes! Master I think that this plan will actually work this time!" The old woman agreed. "I really hope it does..." She thought

"Why? Actually will work this time! Do you think I am a complete idiot at planning?" Rothbart screamed at the old woman

"No sir" She replied (which was of course a lie)

"All right then, shall we get started?" Rothbart said while gathering the needed spells and things for the spell he was specially making for the big surprise which was yet about to come…

Little did the two know that a knight who had coincidentally been passing by after his quest, had overheard all of what they had said and had reported it straightaway to King William…
