He’s My Delilah Chapter 27-The Plan

AN;
Don’t be suprised if you get random updates this week,soon i have to take a break to study for my finals.

Ayan’s POV(Unedited)
Yasin and I are panting, hearts beating at an abnormal rate! We just sneaked out and went to the main palace.
As soon as we reached,we ran to our bedroom,I ran to the secret vault Falcon showed me and opened it. And there it was! The replica of my lover’s battle sword.
As soon as I pulled it out,I turned to Ayan and he was shaking,
“That’s the Prince’s sword! How?” He asks
“This is the replica of his sword, he said it’s mine and its the solution to our problems” I say swinging it in the air.
“Ah …..Ayan,is it really necessary to…uh….kill?” Yassy asks
“Trust me,let’s go” I reply

As soon as we enter the conference room,everyone looks agitated,they come running to us,
“Where have you two been? We feared the worst!”
“We are here now,Everyone please sit,I have something to say
” I tell them
As soon as they are seated,Yassy and I head to the front,
“Yassy and I have decided to go for our warriors and princes.” I say
Immediately everyone is against the idea,
“No sire,the Prince refused us to allow you” the captain of the guard said
Everyone kept objecting and arguing till I shout,
“Keep quiet!” They all settle down and I say
“I am going and no one can stop me! I love him and I can’t leave without him,so am going to bring him back” I announce

“Sire said we should stop you by any means necessary if we have to physically restrain you, am sorry but we will”
I stand up and show them the battle sword,they all look in awe and fear
“No one should stand in my path! I speak with authority, this is the symbol of authority,and all of you should offer to follow me,to bring back our beloved prince, he is suffering on our behalf,he has always defended us,we can’t leave him with those vultures now,its our turn to defend him, who is with me?” I ask
All the soldiers kneel down and bow,
“We offer you our loyalty, to serve you whole heatedly, we respect you as the future consort, what are your orders sire?” They ask
I blush and turn red! It actually worked! My wild gamble paid off. Falcon was right, this sword has power.
Behind me,my parents, Yasin,Yasin’s parents plus the King and Queen nod in approval.
“Let’s meet in a few,we need a plan as soon as possible, tomorrow we leave,time is of essence,every second counts” I say.
“Yes sire!!” The soldiers reply

As soon as they leave,Yasin comes and hugs me,
“Thank you cousin, you pulled it off! Now we have to get them” he says
“We’ll bring them back” I say.
“I miss him so much Ayan,we have loved each other for years” he says
“I miss Malik too,he promised to marry me you know” I say sadly.
“He loves you,he will return” he says
“Insha Allah (God willing)” I reply

A few hours later, we are discussing the plan. Finally a carefully dissected plan is rolled out. I am amazed by the level of intelligence, cunning and strategy the soldiers have! Even Hadijjah, my mum and Malik’s mum contribute,they truly are Queens.

I turn to the head captain to listen to the plan.
“As I was saying,they don’t expect us to recuperate so early because of the shock of loosing our Prince. They won’t expect a battle so soon.
What we require is an inside job,to hit them right where it hurts the most,because of their numbers. We need to disable them, but we need to distract them in order to find Malik’s exact location,we shouldn’t underestimate them.” He says

“We will be the distraction” I say
“Uhhh…..sire” the captain tries to say.
“Yasin and I plus a third person will pretend to be dancers,get inside and cause mayhem,then we will signal you” I say
“Good idea,then at your signal,we will bomb the place when we know you are safe,then we attack” the captain replies
Finally the plan is agreed upon and we start preparing for the mission.
“Ladies, you are in charge of home security, the King will lead the safe evacuation of the villagers into protected walled shelters” the Captain says
“Yes,sir!” They all reply
At this moment, the captain is giving the orders.

I stand outside and I see hope rising on the horizon.
