Part Five: The World Turned Upside Down

## 14 April 1907

Intro:

*The city of Belinsky is now the center of a downward spiral. The Espanian army has surrounded the city and harbor, in tandem with rebel activity, has cut it off from nearly all help. One messenger reached Eurova, Korlovas ally by border and blood, but their forces need time to muster. But not all is well even within the walls.....*

*Dark plots swirl unspoken through the palace, seeping into the very walls. And the threat from within from the group of soldiers under Dornin Lothar has yet to present itself.*

*A dark dawn is rising over the city and its occupants, a trackers and defenders. But a darker day and darker night approach.....*

**Nikolai** paces in the throne room

**Lisbeth** lays awake next to **Justin**

**Maria** has a dream about the **400th ball, Erik Verraten's** execution along with **Frederik** and **Tatiana** and wakes up screaming and goes to the library.

**Charlotte** has a mental breakdown or a dream or something idk i'm not reading it

**Justin** wakes up and tells **Lisbeth** good morning

**Lisbeth** says good morning

**Juste** sits in the library and watches the patrols switching out and the next garrison heading to the walls.

**Malenkov** walks through the palace gate and sits against a wall.

(Why does everyone just waltz into the most secure building in the country? That's like just waltzing into the White House or Buckingham Palace)

**Maria** goes into the library

**Justin** kisses **Lisbeth**

**Juste** hears **Maria** and goes to greet her

**Lisbeth** kisses him back

**Maria** greets **Juste** and says she's fine

**Juste** says she is a terrible liar and asks what's bothering her

**Maria** said just old memories and asks why he cares

**Juste** says since his reinstatement and it's his duty to protect her

(oh damn it's this part)

**Charlotte** gets dressed and wanders the hall

**Maria** tells him to be careful as she might think he's trying to flatter her

**Justin** tells **Lisbeth** he doesn't want to move but the war won't wait and sits up

**Lisbeth** tells him not to die and she will be here and she goes to get dressed

**Juste** moves in closer to her into a table saying if he was trying to flatter her he could do so much more and says his question remains unanswered

(I can practically read the poorly written Wattpad fanfiction from here)

**Lilly** sits up in bed, gets dressed, and goes out of the room

**Charlotte** goes to the ball room

### Breech at the Gate

**Dormin** watches the pocket watch tick down to zero and the rebel soldiers fired guns called "long nines'. The shells sailed through the air into the main gate, the defenders on the walls, and a few buildings beyond the walls that are filled with white phosorhous that burst and sent lethal fires.

**Peter** sees men run past him and follows them

**Nikolai** is told there is an attack at the gate and tells **Alexandra** they are under attack

**Malenkov** tells **Lisbeth** she doesn't have to tell her about her night as it's not a secret and he's mad

**Maria** said they are left to be sitting ducks again

**Nikolai** says they wait and hope for the best

**Juste** locks with **Dormin** before the shooting continued

**Peter** waits for orders

**Dormin** fires at **Juste's** team and **Justin** fires. **Juste** realized he was in the middle of the hallway with no cover with no ammo and gets two bullet in the arm and he crashes through the door of one of the bedrooms

**Nikolai** takes the sword

**Juste** sweeps the feet under **Justin's** legs sending him to the floor and stabbed **Nikolai** with a poisoned sword

**Charlotte** follows **Maria**

**Nikolai** said he knew he shouldn't have trusted him or **Maria** and **Alexandra** and his only mistake was trusting them. **Nikolai** is able to stab **Juste** in the side

**Juste** stabbed himself into the bleeding wound at his side. **Justin** ran to **Nikolai** and called for a doctor

**Isabella** goes inside

(Why I had her go to her room we will never know)

**Lisbeth** brings **Lilly** to the library

**Lilly** reads

**A doctor** with a purple pocket square started to work on **Nikolai** who confirms **Nikolai's** death.

**Maria** hears **Alexandra** let out a horrible scream

("I put my faith in the Devil, and he led us all into Hell." Is such a good line. I can legit see it in the end of the chapter of the book. It makes me so emotional)
