A Few Hours Ago…

"Princess, it's me, Anne. May I come in?"

Rubena: "Yes."

"Greetings, Princess."

Anne bowed and greeted Rubena.

Rubena: "Did you bring it?"

'D*mm it! Can't she even ask me to get up?!'

Anne cursed inside.

Anne: "Yes. Here."

Saying that Anne handed over the jewellery box to Rubena.

"Yes. Good."

Rubena tried to open the box but then-

"Rubena?! What the f*ck are you doing?"

Rubena got up from her chair hearing Mathias's angry voice.

"Fa-Father!"

"I came here to see why you were not at the banquet. But what the heck are you doing?!"

"Father, that-"

"What? Why is 'that' in your hand?"

Mathias asked while frowning.

"Father! We have to kill her today!"

Rubena said with a desperate voice.

"What?"

Mathias asked as he couldn't believe what Rubena just said 

"We can't do it on the last day. It will only be possible today."

"What are you talking about?"

"The participants are obligated to return before night only on the first day."

"Your point?"

"That means we can't be sure if the Crown Prince will be here on the last day."

"That-"

"So if we kill her today, no one will notice it as everyone is exhausted and resting in their tent. After her body is discovered, it will create an uproar between all the people. And at that time, we can use 'That'... The Ezarruin."

Ezarruin… The Legendary Dark Orb that is said to be created by the Lord Of Dark Magicians, Thalrenor Gladshore himself. 

Legend says all kinds of magic powers (like lightning, poison, fire, space and many more) are stored in it. It activates automatically at the time of need. Or can be used by specific spells.

Mathias has been brewing this plan from the moment he got his hands on the Orb years ago. He finally got the opportunity when Theobald agreed to the Peace Agreement through marriage. He knew that one day he would get the opportunity to enter Fellmirr after the marriage. And he did get it… The Hunting Festival.

He sent the Dark Orb with Isabella's baggage beforehand, as previously any outsider who entered Fellmirr had to go under an inspection. And Isabella was the same. But Anne… she hid the Jewellery box that contained the orb under her dress and went past the inspection. 

The jewellery box was made with anti-magic detection material. So it didn't get caught until now. Although there's a catch, the moment someone opens the box, an enormous amount of negative energy will be emitted from the orb. And with their sense, the Beastmen could easily detect that. That's why the box was closed until this time.

"Your dream will come true, Father. We can destroy the Fellmirr Empire."

'And I can make him my concubine…'

Rubena thought with a smirk.

"Yes. I will destroy this d*mn Empire and rule over it!"

"Yes. You will be the Strongest Emperor that history has yet to see."

"Yes. Ahahaha~"

Mathias laughed out loud just thinking about him sitting on the Throne of Fellmirr. He can't wait to see the Beastmen begging for his mercy. He wanted to see their desperate cry. The cry of those who denied his entry to Fellmirr before. Those arrogant Beastmen…

"Then I should prepare. Give me the box."

"Yes. Here, Father."

Rubena handed over the box to Mathias. Mathias then left the tent with the box in his hand.

"Anne. You stay here now. Go back to Isabella's tent in the middle of the night and bring her here somehow."

"Huh? But how? What if she refuses?"

"Tch! Useless! Say that the Prince asked you to bring her somewhere. That wh*re will come running hearing that."

"Yes. But what if-"

"Shut up! Don't ask me anything else. Use that d*mn brain if yours."

"Y-Yes."

'But what the f*ck am I supposed to do if the Crown Prince stays there. D*mn psycho!'

Anne cursed Rubena. 

"Here."

Rubena said while throwing a small potion bottle at Anne.

"This?"

Anne asked while catching the bottle.

"Go, give this to the Knights guarding that wh*re's door. Mix it with tea or something then make them drink it. It will make them fall asleep. Or something worse..."

"But. What if they refuse to drink?"

'I don't know why. But for some reason, I can't get along with the Beastmen easily. I had to use the Brainwashing Potion to spread rumours about Isabella too.'

"Then brainwash some other maid and make them take this to the Knights."

"Yes, Princess."

After that, Anne got out of the tent and followed Rubena's order successfully. As a result, there weren't any knights outside the tent. And Anne was able to bring out Isabella from her room without any trouble.

Huff* Huff*

What am I supposed to do? I am afraid! I don't want to go. 

But Anne's family… because of me…

Huff* Huff*

It hurts! I can't breathe.

No. No. I can't be like this now. I have to make sure Anne's family is safe. It's okay. They will just beat me anyways. I can endure it. 

Yes. It's just for a moment.

And after walking for a while, I finally reached the Royal Tents of Loire.

"Princess Rubena, I have brought her here."

Anne said while pushing me to the ground. 

"Ah! You are finally here, My dear sister!"

Rubena said while walking towards me. 

Rubena! Did she ask Anne to bring me here?

"Rub- Aghh!"

"Don't take my name from that filthy mouth of yours, you wh*re!"

Rubena said while stepping on my hand.

It hurts! The long sharp hills of her shoes are piercing my flesh… 

"Please. Remove your-"

But without letting me finish, she thrashed my wrist with her heels.

"Aagh!"

"Stop it, Ruby! You shouldn't play with her."

I flinched hearing the voice. Behind Rubena, the Emperor was standing looking down at me like I am some kind of bug.

"Sigh~ Okay."

Saying that Rubena removed her leg from my wrist.

"Hurry up and kill her before anyone notices."

What? Did I hear it wrong? Kill? Kill me?

"B*tch! Why are you looking at me like that?"

Rubena said while kicking my face.

"Aghh!"

I screamed in pain. It hurts! It hurts!

Why? Why is this happening to me?! I hate this! I hate being in pain!

Someone, please… Help me!

"My Lady!"

Suddenly Ella barged into the tent.

Ella? No! No! No!

What is she doing here?! Please! Go! Run away!

"Ella! Please get out!"

I shouted desperately.

"My Lady!"

Ella said, looking at me with teary eyes.

"Why? Why are you bearing with all this! Why didn't you say anything to me?"

Ella sobbed while walking towards me.

"Oh my! I see you've got a loyal maid here. Too bad. She will die here."

Rubena scoffed looking at Ella.

"You- What did you do to her?!"

Ella said with a furious voice and charged at Rubena. Ella was going to scratch Rubena's face but Rubena blocked it with her hand. As a result, her hand was scratched instead. 

"Ughh! You- Pest!"

Rubena screamed and attacked Ella with her lighting magic.

But Ella transformed into a Racoon and started dodging Rubena's attack.

No! This has to stop! Or else Ella…

Suddenly a flash of lightning struck Ella from behind. 

"El-Ella! Behind you!"

But before I could say anything, Ella ran towards Rubena and dodged the attack. 

No! Ella have to run away! But… she is not listening to me! 

I have to get up! I have to get up from the ground but my leg… 

No! Forget about the pain and just get up! You can do it, Isabella!

I was trying to get up, but suddenly a bolt of lightning struck my leg.

"Aagh~"

It hurts! My legs! They are burning.

"You f*king stay down!"

The Emperor said while kicking my stomach.

"Aghh!"

No! Don't! I can't bear it!

"Hiss~"

Ella growled then jumped towards Mathias. But Mathias kicked Ella to the ground.

"What an angry one! Hey, you! Bring me the box."

Mathias ordered Anne.

"Y-Yes!"

Anne ran outside the tent. 

Box? What box? What are they talking about?

"Father! Why are you asking her to bring the box now?"

"Hah! I have a better plan… I will attack everyone before they can wake up. The entire Waldor will be mine."

Mathias said with an ominous laugh.

No… What are they talking about…

"But before that, let's kill this Racoon. It's creating too much noise."

Saying that Mathias used her lighting magic but Ella dodged it skillfully.

The tent was big but not big enough where Mathias or Rubena could use their full power. As the tent could burn and attract other people's attention. And Ella could easily dodge their careful attack.

"Your Majesty! I brought it!"

Anne rushed inside and handed over the box to Mathias.

"Yes. Good."

"Father! Think about it again! If you open the box now, the Beastmen will know everything."

"Doesn't matter. We can kill them with this anyways."

Saying that Mathias opened the box. 

And whoosh~

A strong wind started blowing. The entire tent was covered with pitch-black darkness. 

A black orb…

"Yes! Yes! This is it!"

Mathias said with a smile. 

Then he took the orb in his hand and his eyes turned black. After that, he murmured something in an indistinct language. 

"σκότωσέ το, Εζαρούιν!"

Suddenly a howl was heard from the orb. And a dark creature came out from the orb. At first, it looked big but as it got closer it started to get bigger. The tent was ripped apart because of its height… A dark stenchy four-legged monster… With sharp teeth… Pitch black eyes… A monster from hell.

It ran towards Ella and bit her with its long teeth. Then in front of my eyes, she was ripped in half…

Huff* Huff*

I can't breathe. My heart… It's pounding like crazy… 

What just happened! Ella...

No! No! No! No!

Ella…

"No~!"

I screamed. No! She can't die!

"What-What did you do! If you want to kill someone, kill me! What did you do to her, you monster!"

I screamed and cried out. My lungs are burning! My throat is burning! My eyes are blurry! 

"Pfft! Don't be angry now. You will meet her soon. Now, Σκότωσε αυτή τη μάγισσα!"

Mathias said with a loud voice.

Growl~

The monster growled and turned towards me. Then It jumped up towards me.

I am finally going to die. Yes. I deserve this death. Because of me, Ella…

I closed my eyes to accept my fate. But then-

Slash*

The sound of ripping flesh… Then the desperate growl of the monster.

Am I dead? But why can't I feel pain? I opened my eyes.

Growl~

In front of me, a black flurry night creature was howling with its entire soul. An angry howl…

Soon the creature looked at me. A wolf… Red eyes…

I know those eyes… 

It's Leonus...

He is really angry now....
