Chapter 234: Curtain Down

John's perspective

Reimi and my wife are currently waiting for me in another place. They were escorted to the village elder's wooden house, that old man is good to let us borrow it.

Reimi's well-treated by now. I ordered my wife to stay with her because I had many things to solve. I'm working on it now, will be returning when I finish my things.

Hoster kept urging, asking me to get him to the Capital city - The Imperial Palace. Because the Prime Minister must, according to him, is about to have a meeting with officials.

We couldn't get to the Imperial Palace that fast so I decided to ask for King Ralla's help, and he accepted. Now, we're located in the village's warehouse. Under there is a basement - which stores the belongings of two heroes from 500 years ago.

To say basically, those belongings belong to the Second World War. The basement has three rooms, the room which places belongings, looks like a World War 2 museum. While in the second room, there are two graves of two deceased soldiers, a US Navy soldier and an Imperial Japanese soldier.

The third room is the deepest room, linked by a long underground tunnel. There's a blue circle line on the ground, in the middle of the end of the underground room. That's the borderline of the teleport machine.

On the top of the borderline is another circle line, which will lit light on the people in the perimeter of the borderline. They'll be teleported to the destinated area after getting lighted on.

Beside the circle not so far is a blue machine. A blue metal-made machine, with a glowing blue console, looks both very modern and fantasy...

I'm standing in there, beside King Ralla, my subordinates, Hoster and Sherry. Not yet, the Knight Ranger squad of Demon Kingdom is also here.

"I'm going to change the location to the Imperial Palace". - King Ralla looked at every one of us. "According to your intel... then the backyard will be the destination". "No one guards it, it's a good place to get in, from what I think". - He approached the teleport machine

Then, the King starts modifying the console of the teleport machine. I look at Sarah and Hatano, feeling a bit hard to speak with 'em. Because... they'll do this mission alone, will escort Hoster and Sherry alone.

"Sir". - Lt. Rivia called me. Later she glanced at her soldiers

"Rangers, listen up!". - She said a bit loud. "Except Scanra, others stay here for the next go, led by General Sarah". - She was speaking while looking at every soldier. "We'll go in, clear the way for all of you". "Scanra will contact, telling you the situation". "While I'll be eye on the Prime Minister, will choose the moment to". - She raised her hand. "Bup!". - Clapped strongly. "Got it?!".

"Sir, yes, Sir!".

"Good work". - She glanced at soldiers once again. "Scanra, let's move". - Rivia later asked Pvt. Scanra to follow her

Both of them shortly reach the circle line. Rivia steps in first, later is Scanra. Both of them turn around to look at us for the last time before going to do their mission.

"You got your drone yet?". - She tilted to Scanra and asked him if he had the Batdrone

"Right here". - Scanra pulled out a metal Batdrone, stored in his handbag

From what I know, this "drone" is for surveillance. Sometimes it's used for fighting, such as suicidal bombers. It was stored in the helicopter, and Scanra was ordered to bring it with him when we landed here.

Except for Demon Kingdom, the rest of the war is only on the edge of the European medieval times. Somehow they got this kind of hi-tech weapon (A metal drone) - in a form of a black bat.

Despite having firearms that look like in the 1940s, their vehicles are different, like from the 1960s. Such as the helicopter named DH - 1 (Dragonfly Helicopter 1).

"Tap". - All of sudden, Sarah tapped my shoulder

"What?". - I asked her

However, Sarah just keeps silent, only stares at me with her sad eyes. Since she woke up till this time, she hasn't spoken anything to me at all. Maybe... she hates me.

"Order...". - Hatano said to me. "Give us the new command...". - Maybe I got the meaning of the reason why Sarah tapped me now

"Alright... sigh". - I sighed while staring at my subordinates. "You escort His Majesty to the Palace, and do your best to retake his throne". "That's all of the mission". "That's all...". - I tapped two of my subordinates' shoulders

They don't say anything, Sarah and Hatano only nod slightly toward me. They shortly return to Hoster and Advisor Sherry - who are now well dressed previously.

In case when they breach the Imperial Palace but the Prime Minister hasn't been killed, Hoster will get rid of him. However, the court is full of suspicious officials, puppets and the clean. To retake the throne, Hoster must dress up like a King first.

"You dress well yet, Your Majesty?". - I asked Hoster

"I'm sure I did!". - Hoster glared at me, said loudly. "Tch...". - He looked away after clicking his tongue

"Alright, everything is ready". - King Ralla informed us, he later walked back to me. "It's about to launch, safe travel". - He stood beside me, hoping Rivia and Scanra would be lucky on their mission

"Nol vil, Uoy Tsejam!". (Long live, Your Majesty!). - Lt. Rivia raised her right hand, holding her palm tightly

A blue light suddenly comes down and lit Rivia's and Scanra's bodies. Both of them shortly vanished.

Second Lieutenant Rivia's perspective
182nd Knight Ranger Squad - 342nd Infantry Battalion
United States of Demon Kingdom Army
7:11 AM, December 17th, 1173
Keris - Warsaw Kingdom - Warsaw Imperial Palace

Shit... my head hurts, my shoulders hurt. My neck hurts... every part of my body is hurt... that's the process all of us have to go through when we use that shitty machine.

"You good?". - I asked Pvt. Scanra, because both of us were lying on the ground

"Yeah, Sir".

Both of us shortly get up slowly, fighting against our hazy minds. In front of us, is the backyard of the Imperial Palace, it's still unguarded. Honestly... seriously?! Those men haven't learned anything from last night's assassination or what?

"Alright, do the plan now".

"Yes, Sir". - Scanra nodded. "Wait... what are you doing?". - He asked me when he saw me taking his Snowfield sniper rifle away

"Change firearms". - Done snatching his sniper rifle, I gave him my SF1 rifle. "Here, take mine".

"But why?". - He received the assault rifle, but kept asking me annoyingly

"I'll do the job, you stay here to inform". "Do it now...".

"Yes, Sir". - He put his handbag on the ground. While I glanced around, trying to find an enemy but couldn't find one

"These guards work very neglectedly, you see?". - Done watching, I glanced at him. "Stay right here, maybe I'll go around to find a way in". "Must locate Alt Toten, then I can kill him". - Later I reached for his ammo pouches, grabbing some ammo clips

"They're yours". - I also dropped some magazines for this guy, letting him have ammo to use my rifle

Pvt. Scanra doesn't listen to my words at all. Instead, he pulls out a small black console and a mini box - a TV that has a very mini screen. Those things are combined, in order to control the drone.

Our Batdrone can be used in two ways, they'll be wirelessly or wireline used in combat. This time, we won't use them wirelessly. The Batdrone itself will be turned into "user mode", and be controlled by Private Scanra.

"Alright...". - Scanra plugged the console's wire into the Batdrone's TV box

After plugging the wire into the black TV box, he pushes a right-side red button on the mini TV box. That's the power button of the Television.

After getting turned on, the TV's screen shows us a very blank screen. Of course... the Batdrone power hasn't been turned on yet, wrong process.

Scanra later grabs the Batdrone and turns on its power to do the mission. During the process, I lean my body, looking around the green backyard. Hmmm... as I expected, no one guards this place at all.

"Uhhh... Sir". - All of sudden, Pvt. Scanra called me

I look back, knowing he's showing some confusion on his face for no reason. Hmmm... I guess I knew what he was confused about. Men's needs... even in wartime...

"Love the view...?". - Turned out my butt was accidentally exposed to his eyes, he kept staring at it... thirstily. "C'mon, look whenever you like". "But have to finish the mission first...".

"You do things so freely, Lieutenant". - He lowered his head, focusing on turning on the drone

"Ten years guarding the border, of course I'm lonely...". - I intentionally stared at him, deeply. "What do ya think...? A night with me? Don't you think so?".

However, he manages to stay away from my flirt. The Batdrone is finally turned on. Now, the TV's screen is on, showing us the black and white screen. Despite having to look at this very small screen to control the drone, Pvt. Scanra still does his best.

"Just black and white". - He spoke to me while holding the black console, sitting on the ground, and was about to fly the drone around

"Yeah, just black and white". - I twerked my butt before his eyes to catch his excitement, later sneaked behind the Private. "It hurts your eyes very much if you keep staring at that screen". - While whispering to him, I lowered my body and wrapped around his neck, hugging him slowly

"Uhhh... Sir".

"Ranger 2 to Ranger 3". "Your status, over". - All of sudden, Sgt. Hawrus called us through his walkie talkie

"Ranger 2, this is Ranger 3". - Scanra tapped his walkie-talkie to talk. "The backyard is clear, we're locating the target, over".

"Roger". "Will be coming in later". "Remember to update your situation, over". "Ranger 2 out". - Sgt. Hawrus disconnected our call

"Sigh...". - Later he sighed. Scanra started controlling the Batdrone, making it fly despite losing a bit of his concentration since I was hugging him from behind

"You look virgin... but you're hard, huh...?". - I whispered to him slowly, but sexily. "Come with me after this alright...? We'll be guarding the border and doing "things" together". - I can't believe that he can resist his mind from a hot woman who is beside him

"Doing both things at the same time is difficult, huh?". "Should I... make you more difficult?".

"Sir!!!". "Please get out...". - Out of control, he asked me to get out while controlling the Batdrone terribly

"You got my attention, kid...". "Okay, tonight... "meet" me, anywhere... not this place". - I got my hands out of him. "Giggles!". - Later I walked away from him

After that, I pull back the rifle's bolt to check on the remaining bullets inside the chamber. This rifle's a bolt-action rifle, so its reloading process, to me, is very annoying. Not as convenient as using magazines.

"Locating the target, Sir...". - Scanra informed me

"Tell me where he is". - I finished checking on the sniper rifle so I returned to Scanra. "I'll get in and boom".

When I get back to Scanra, my eyes stare at the black mini TV screen. The black and white screen shows me the vision of the Batdrone, now flying around the place and being controlled by Pvt. Scanra.

"Check the windows, find the target". - I crouched down and reminded him. "Hmmm...". - Nothing new appeared on the screen yet

Instead, I turn around and look at the flying drone. It's now flying above, passing by each window to check on people staying inside there. However, no person is caught on the screen. Even stranger, when every room the drone passes by is quite empty.

"I see nothing, Sir". - Scanra informed me. "I'm tracking... wait, I saw something new". - When he was saying, his fingers kept pressing on the console, moving the drone to the destination

I return to look at the screen when I hear his inform. In front of me, the black and white TV screen is showing me something strange. That's about a wide and big room, which seems to be a courtroom of the Palace.

That's the place the Monarch and his relatives will have discussions with the Lords and officials. Apparently, the room's aura seems to be quite... special. I mean... it has a lot of people staying in there, standing below.

"Wait...". - I headed closer to the screen. "Zoom, zoom in". - I ordered Scanra to extend the vision of the Batdrone

The Batdrone's vision later has been extended. From what I see on the screen, a man whose hands are bandaged in white cloths, looks so familiar.

Without hearing my order, the Batdrone keeps zooming in on the old man. When its vision reaches, I'm sure 100 percent he is the Warsaw Prime Minister - Alt Toten. This man... managed to survive the last night's assassination. And he's up to something, I wonder what he is doing in the courtroom.

The TV screen is not too quality, not too... good for me and Scanra to look at. However, it's good News since the target had been found, too good now. I must do something right now.

"Locate his location". "Tell me the way to go in".

"Palace Courtroom... hmmm". - Scanra later moved the drone above, going through a high window of the courtroom

Getting in the courtroom without being caught, the Batdrone keeps going forward. Until... it reaches another window from another side. Now I'm waiting for Pvt. Scanra informs.

"We got the location, Sir". - He said to me, turning his head to look at me. "East side from this place, the courtroom". - Later he looked at the building behind me. "I think you can sneak in by... using that way, over there...". - He pointed to a wall that linked to a roof, it seemed to have good edges for me to grab

"To be easier... follow the drone, Sir". - Later Pvt. Scanra returned to control the drone

"Alright...". - I stood up, glancing at the wall. "See you when I finish my things, Scanra...". "Remember... giggles!". - I whispered to his ears before getting away from Scanra

"Ranger 3, this is Ranger 2". - When I was getting to the wall, I heard Sgt. Hawrus calling Pvt. Scanra

"We're comin' in". "What's your status, over?". - However, I focused on heading to the wall

"This is Ranger 3, the backyard's clear". "Get in here and join, Ranger 2".

I neglect their conversation, later found myself before the tall building. The Imperial Palace's wall, this site is quite high, I hope I can climb in. Hmmm... this roof site is not too tall, I think. I'll climb on the rooftop, right and away.

I later touch my belt, pulling out a hook rope. This rope line is very tight, its head has a hook with 3 spikes, made tightly to attach to things. Later, I swing the rope line around while looking at a rooftop's wall. Despite its far distance, I'll throw the rope up either way, no exception.

A short time later, the rope is thrown up there. When I can't see the hook of the rope anymore, I pull back the rope line to make sure the hook gets stuck up there during the pulling process.

You are reading story Before F.R.O.N.D.E.R: Epilogue at novel35.com

"Alright...". - I kept pulling back the rope till its rope line was very tight

Seems like the hook has been stuck up there. Then it's good for me to climb up the wall.

"Lieutenant, the drone is now available up there". - Scanra communicated with me by using his walkie-talkie. "Get on the rooftop, and follow the drone to the destination".

"Alright". "I got it, Private". - I tapped on the walkie-talkie to speak with Scanra

I grab the rope line, slowly climbing up. When I reach a certain distance from the ground, my feet step on the wall and hold there. Hmmm... I'll have some fractures, worst is dying if I fall from this distance... though it's not too far for me to fall.

I ignore my fear, and keep making my steps on the wall to go forward. When I reach another high distance, the rope seems to be a bit... unstable, I think so...

But I ignore it and keep climbing till I reach the rooftop completely. I get up, the first thing is to get used to the surface of the rooftop. Only bricks here, and the terrain is quite wet. If I'm careful enough, I may fall down there and die...

I manage to climb up this terrible high rooftop. Then, I retrieved the stuck hook rope that I threw previously. The terrain is quite wet... must've been a recent rain here, I think... I must watch my steps.

"You see me, Sir?". - Scanra contacted me through the walkie-talkie once again

"I'm crawling the shit out of here, Private". - I talked to him while crawling toward an object which looked like a Batdrone before me. "Up here is very wet, but I'm alright".

"Sir... the drone".

"I see it...". - Shit, my combat uniform was quite dirty now. "Move it, Scanra". "I'll follow". - I returned to crawl toward the Batdrone

The drone later flies up and floats in the sky. It flies to the left side for a few seconds before getting down the rooftop, I must follow it. Hmmm... crawling on the rooftop for safety, I shortly re-found the drone.

I'm now on the edge of the rooftop, I'll fall right away if I don't move carefully. I look down, spotting the Batdrone moving to a left side window. It keeps floating nearby there, and moves in. That wide window... that must be the entrance that leads me to the Palace's courtroom.

"That window is a way in, Sir". "Good luck, I'll be watching you all the time". "Tell me when to take the action".

"Hear it, Ranger 3". - I tapped the walkie-talkie to speak with Scanra. "Stand by, I'm going in". - I crawled to that site, later plugged the previous hook rope into a wall

I grab the rope line and throw it down swiftly. I grab the rope, slowly leaning my legs down and holding them on the wall, I'm ready to go now.

I slowly move my legs down the wall, trying to breach the wide window from below. Moving till I reach the window, I open the window silently, later sit on its stool.

The window's stool size doesn't fit to be a seat. Because of that reason, I use the rope to tie my waist for safety. Done everything, I sit on the stool, slowly wield the Snowfield sniper rifle.

"Alright...". - I rubbed the scope's surface, making it clear for me to shoot

"Ranger 3, I'm in position". - I tapped on the walkie-talkie. "Got visual on target". - I raised the sniper rifle, looked through the scope, immediately spotted the target

From the view of the scope, many well-dressed people can be seen standing in the Palace's courtroom. They stand from below, altogether staring at a person standing on the floor up the staircase.

That person they're looking at, is the old man - Prime Minister Alt Toten. He stands in the middle of the floor, behind him are golden things that look like thrones. Hmmm... this old man, what is he up to, huh?

"Sir, your status?". - Pvt. Scanra asked me

"Looking at the target, haven't shot yet". - I focused on observing the Prime Minister. "I'll observe him till it gets in the right moment, over".

"Roger, Sir". "Others have come, they're waiting outside". - Sarah's group had come here...? Hmmm...

Should I... ask her to get in?

"Ranger 3, tell them to move in if you can".

"Roger".

I return to observe the Prime Minister once again. He stands from above, before the people who look like officials. He doesn't say anything, as if waiting for something. The officials, they're all silent, as if to wait for him to talk.

"Gentlemen! This is the right time... to say the truth". - All of sudden, that old man said out

All the attention is going toward him, eyes and silence go toward him. Those people are waiting for his talk. Some can be seen whispering to each other, but they shortly go silent to the old man's speech... so do I.

"I'm now just a helpless man...". - He whispered

"Half a month ago... His Majesty was on his journey...". - His voice contained full of sadness. "Sadly... he was killed by the bandits...". "His Majesty had been killed!!!". - He roared out sadly, stunning the officials in the courtroom

The courtroom's atmosphere suddenly becomes sorrowful and gloomy. Everyone becomes panicked, some sits, some stands on the floor... crying about their King's death.

"His Majesty was a person that 1.000 years have one!". "But... the Goddess wasn't willing to let him live, she phased him out". - The Prime Minister became "sadder", he kneeled on the floor, saying loud like crying. "If he had ruled us longer, Warsaw must've been a great Empire that would make its ancestors proud of!". "A young, clever and powerful... but the Goddess, is so cruel with us!". - The old man reached his hands above, squeezing as if he was trying to shred the sky

"Her Majesty recently died too! Assassins killed her!". "Why the Goddess treats us that harshly?!!!". - He looked below, staring at the officials. "Future for our descendants... will be ruined that so soon?!".

After a short speech, the Prime Minister kneels on the floor, speechless. His face lowers, as if he's deeply sad because of losing his King. However... the sniper scope shows the difference. He's smiling cunningly and silently, as if... this meeting is just a setup.

"Minister Alt, not just you...". - All of sudden a person dressed in armor that looked like a General, stood up and spoke to the Prime Minister

"Not just you, all of us are sad to know about His Majesty's death...". - He looked around, showing his sadness before staring at the old man. "Today is the saddest day of our country... from the people to us, are all sad...". - He wiped the tears in his eyes, later stared at the old man firmly. "But as the old always says to us "A country cannot be stable even a day without a Monarch", it's bad". "If this information comes to the ears of the enemies, they'll surely attack us immediately!". "Our homeland will be ruined in no time". - That General showed his sadness and his anger, looking at a space, emptily

"That's impossible!". - The Prime Minister yelled at the General with a strong voice. "Our Warsaw is a nation, we're all brothers and sisters! We stand together forever!". "If they dare to invade us! I! Will be the first one to approach them and crush 'em all!". - He raised his hand with the closed palm above, squeezing hard to show his spirit

"Sir, they're breaching in". - All of sudden, Pvt. Scanra informed me of the new intel

"Roger that, Ranger 3".

"But even if they don't attack us, then our homeland still needs a King!". "A country cannot be stable even a day without a Monarch!". - The General roared out his words. "We must found a new Monarch immediately, cannot let time pass!".

"Unfortunately... after His Majesty's death, Her Highness's also missing". - The Prime Minister started his speech once again. "The Royal blood has been ruined, our Warsaw has been ruined". - He kept looking at the officials, showing his "sadness", "couldn't describe"

"Everyone, listen to me!". - The General later turned around, asking the people to listen to him

"Currently, His Majesty's blood has been ruined". - He looked at every person. "This is the emergency, we cannot let time swallow us!". "Therefore... we need to choose the most capable one to rule our Warsaw!". - Later he turned to stare at the Prime Minister. "As I can see this time, the most capable before us, only has the Prime Minister!". "I nominate him to be our new Monarch! I nominate the Prime Minister to be the new Monarch!". - He pointed at the Prime Minister, saying loudly, asking him to be the new King. "Please step up!".

"That's impossible!". - The Prime Minister stood up, protesting the suggestion. "I'm now just an old rot, just an old man who is about to die". "How can I... become a King for your sake?!".

"From my look on you, you're the most capable one". - The General kneeled on foot before the Prime Minister. "From the beginning to the last, you had worked hard through 3 Monarch generations". - That man shortly bowed before the Prime Minister.

"You sacrificed your youth, your knowledge, everything of yours to dedicate to the country and the people". - He later raised his head. "You, devoted to the country, faithful to the last breath!". "Only you, are capable to be ruling us, Your Majesty!". "Only us can be happy when you rule us!". "Long live, Your Majesty! Step on the throne!".

"Step on the throne! Step on the throne! Step on the throne!". - The crowd of people started yelling around. "Long live, Your Majesty! Long live, Your Majesty! Long live, Your Majesty!". "Step on the throne! Be our Monarch!". - Everyone below suddenly kneeled before the Prime Minister, asking him to step on the throne - be their King

"Sobs... sobs... sobs... sobs...". "Dunkel, your nomination... it makes me cry a lot...". - The Prime Minister later sobbed, trying to wipe out his tears. "As all of your sakes... I shall be the Monarch". "Long live, the Great Warsaw!". - He later raised his hands above, roaring "victory roar"

"Long live, Great Warsaw!!!". - All the officials inside the room yelled out loud, joining the exciting crowd

"If an outsider like him becomes the King, that would be an infamy for our ancestors!". - All of sudden, a loud voice came out in the middle of exciting yellings

General Hatano Sarah's perspective
(Real Rank: Private First Class)
Krieg 2 - 1 Fireteam
United States Army
7:23 AM, December 17th, 1173
Keris - Warsaw Kingdom - Imperial Palace

The courtroom's door was breached, we went in. Beside me are my sis, Ranger operatives, Hoster and Sherry. We appear before the officials in the room. Their faces seem to be shocked, stunned to see their King "hasn't died".

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!". "He hasn't died! His Majesty isn't dead! He's alive!". - They roared in panic, yelling without stopping. "His Majesty's still alive! He's still alive, people! He's alive!". - More yellings coming to our ears as we were walking on the staircase

Neglecting the yellings, I look at the road and walk. We step on the staircase and move up slowly, staying beside Hoster. He's now well dressed, looks very much like a King in his clothes, combines his cruelty.

His Majesty's face stares at the Prime Minister every time he steps up, no blinking at all. About the old man, he stares at Hoster with his eyeballs widening. He cannot believe that the man he killed, is now alive before his eyes.

Two tyrants face to face, one is standing still while one is approaching him. A short time later, we finally reach the top of the staircase - the throne floor.

"You dare...". - Hoster approached the Prime Minister, pointing at him. "Dared to send men to kill me, and covered up everything". "Dared to overthrow me, how guts you were". "You old psychotic, surrender now!". - He yelled at the Prime Minister, showing him he was the man in power here

"I saw His Majesty die... right in front of me". - The old man approached Hoster, wasn't scared of him at all. "You're an impostor, and these...". - He glared at me and others. "They're assassins! They're assassins!". "Guards!". - He pointed at us, yelling to call the help from the guards

All of sudden, many Warsaw guards run upstairs and reach us, surrounding us with swords and spears. My sis and other Ranger operatives managed to draw their rifles, they targeted the guards.

About me, I drew my M4 carbine and pointed it at the Prime Minister. Alt Toten after seeing us being surrounded by dead ends, he smiles and looks at Hoster.

"You dare!!!". - Hoster yelled at the Prime Minister. "You dare to overthrow me that blatantly?! Before the people?!". "Arrest him now!". - Hoster ordered the guards to capture Alt Toten, but they did not do anything

"They know who they should be submitted to...". - The Prime Minister said. "An impostor like you, and these traitors... should be pursued".

"And what if I was the real one?!".

"That doesn't matter!". "His Majesty's dead! You're nothing but an impostor!". - Alt scolded Hoster. "Even if you are... then you're nothing". "From the outside to the inside, all my men! You're nothing, I won!".

"Behead 'em here immediately!". "Proceed!".

"Immediately after that old psychotic!". - All of sudden, a yell sounded out

Right after that, the Prime Minister has been crushed on the floor. The Warsaw guards neglected us and crushed that old man all of a sudden.

Being bewildered at what just happened, I looked around. Later, a brown bearded man with short ponytail steps on the floor. That's General Dunkel - His Majesty's former retainer - was told to have overthrown his own King.

"What the hell are you doing, Dunkel?!". - Alt Toten yelled at Gen. Dunkel despite being crushed on the floor. "Are you crazy?! You don't see me as anything?!!! Get me out!". - He kept resisting, but couldn't get out, even exhausted

"Your Majesty... I worth to be sentenced to death...". - Gen. Dunkel later kneeled one leg before Hoster, bowing before His Majesty deeply

"That time... I was forced to overthrow you". "My parents, my family were in harm...". "Your return must be the bless of the Goddess". "Please give me the death sentence...". - From the beginning to the end, Dunkel bowed before Hoster, not doing anything suspicious

"You're worth to be kept alive". - Hoster spoke to Gen. Dunkel. "I'll consider your punishment later...". "Arrest my "adoptive father", now".

"Long live, Your Majesty!". - Dunkel shortly stood up, and approached Alt Toten

"It's impossible! It's impossible!". - That old man kept yelling, screaming helplessly. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!". - However, the old man was later dragged out of the courtroom pathetically

"Arrest those who run away!". - Hoster turned to look at the officials below, later ordered the Warsaw guards

As I can see from the throne floor, some people are running away. They're the Lords and officials, they run away in panic for no reason. When they run, nearby guards will go get them.

The arrest mostly ends up brutally in blood and yellings, some even die after getting arrested. So terrible.

"Kill 'em!". - My sis suddenly ordered the Ranger operatives to kill the runners

"Gunshots! Gunshots!". - Many shots came out, hit the runners and also hit those who weren't involved

"Bang!". - A shot suddenly came from the upper window. "Bang! Target hit!". "Bang!". - Turned out that was Lt. Rivia. She was shooting the runners by using her sniper rifle

"Gunshots! Gunshots! Gunshots! Gunshots!". - Many gunshots kept sounding, waves of dozen bodies falling on the floor non-stop. Blood kept splashing out from the dead, covering the courtroom in a stinky, intense red color

"Gunshots! Gunshots! Gunshots! Gunshots! Gunshots! Gunshots!". - Gunshots kept coming

Normally in situations like this, I would tend to go out and protest it. However... somehow now I... stop saying things, stop protesting violent. Only look at Rangers and my sis, and even the Warsaw guards who are capturing and killing people.

I stay silent, staring emptily at the massacre before my eyes. How fragile I am right now... why I cannot be as brave as before... why?

"Long live, Your Majesty!". - A man in the middle of the crowd, said loudly. "Long live, Your Majesty! Long live, Your Majesty! Long live, Your Majesty!". "For the Great Warsaw! Great Warsaw!". - Others later imitated him, making a mass crowd effect

Those men are too scared of dying. They stand before the dead bodies, looking at their King and say loudly "kindest" things they can make for him. The gunshots later stop sounding. Those men keep flattering their King, trying to make him pleased since they're scared of dying.

The courtroom, despite having blood and bodies lying all around... with a gloomy and dark atmosphere. When His Majesty appears, the courtroom with blood, bodies, fleshes and people all around... becomes so lively, happy, and even "so real".

"Long live, Your Majesty!". - The crowd kept yelling, some even trying to smile to flatter their King more. "Long live, Your Majesty! Long live, Your Majesty! Long live, Your Majesty!". "Great Warsaw!".

Hoster looks around the courtroom casually. He looks at the dead, the living and the horror that he made earlier. Shortly, he stands in his highness pose, raising his hands above with open palms.

He thinks of himself as the center of everything, with his cunning smile showing in his mouth... cheerfully.
