The next day.
As agreed the night before between Gideon and Nozel, Gideon stood near the village gate wearing a tactical shirt and carrying a SIG M17 at his side for precaution. Luke stood next to him in the same attire.
"Will he come?"
"He's a sex addict. Of course he'll come," Gideon replied, glancing briefly.
Lena and Lyra were also ready, though Lena was not given any special task because she had the important task of guarding Alanar. Lyra was inside the tent with Liam and Norton.
Gideon's plan was simple. He would lure Nozel into the tent, where Liam would strip him of his title. Luke's task was critical, to eliminate the guards that came with Nozel.
Lyra was inside the tent to secure the situation. Once Nozel became a commoner, he would be banished from the village and possibly executed immediately, according to the nobles' tradition.
That prevented rebellion from nobles who had been stripped of their title and status.
