“These weren’t simply rumors then,” Marquis Percy concluded. 

Seeing the satan’s son standing in entrance of him with two bloody swords had made the previous common lose the braveness to struggle. All he may consider was to flee. 

Nevertheless, Drayce was fast to dam his means. 

The loyal guards of the Marquis put themselves between the enemy and their lord, however concern may very well be seen from their expressions. They knew that as quickly as the person moved, they might die. At greatest, they may solely purchase time for the marquis to flee.

“Not so quickly, Marquis Percy.” 

The defeat was evident in Marquis Percy’s eyes. He may solely curse over how they ended up defeated even after having a superb plan. Nevertheless, all schemes may solely fail earlier than absolute energy.

Very quickly, Drayce slayed the loyal guards of the marquis. The marquis’s face obtained splashed with the blood from his personal troopers.

As Drayce had captured the military chief, the crafty Marquis Percy, the battle was formally over. The enemy troopers had let go of their weapons and accepted the defeat by kneeling on the bottom. The elite drive from Abetha, Griven, and Megaris had additionally began rounding up the troopers. 

Drayce checked out his knights, who ran in the direction of him. The knights from Megaris knew even with out being instructed what their king wished. They certain the marquis with a rope and let him kneel on the bottom. 

Being glared at by these spiteful purple eyes scared the previous man. “W-Why are you not killing me? See, I’ve misplaced.”

“You aren’t lucky sufficient to get a simple loss of life,” Drayce replied as he turned to stroll away. 

Marquis Percy tried to face, however he was pushed down by the knights beside him. He shouted, “Did you overlook what occurred when my troop entered Megaris’s border?”

Drayce halted in his tracks, and the marquis continued, “These children, I killed them with my very own arms. It was enjoyable to kill them whereas they cried, calling for his or her moms. These younger ladies, my drained troopers, loved so much because of them. Such tiny and delicate ladies, it was enjoyable for them.”

Drayce tightened his grip on the 2 swords in his arms and rotated to take a look at the marquis straight within the eyes. 

“Reduce his tongue!” 

The knights from Megaris have been fast to execute his order.

“Do not let him die,” Drayce ordered once more and stepped in the direction of Slayer. The knights had tied up his wounds to cease essentially the most extreme of the bleedings; nevertheless, there was nothing they may do to his damaged legs. 

Drayce kneeled to test on Slayer and held his hand. “You may be superb,” he assured Slayer.

Slayer pulled out a lightweight smile. His eyes struggled to maintain themselves open. “So long as you’re superb, I am superb—” However he was unable to proceed as he coughed out blood. 

Drayce let go of his hand and closed his eyes as if he was as much as one thing. 

“Dray!” Slayer referred to as out to him once more, and Drayce opened his eyes. “Let me go. It is time for me.”

Slayer may see that the calmness on the face of his king was a masks. The redness in his king’s eyes appeared visibly lighter. Though his personal imaginative and prescient was blurry attributable to intense blood loss, he thought he may see tears pooling in his king’s eyes. Maybe it was his creativeness, however the sight made his heartache. 

“You aren’t allowed to go away. That is an order!” Drayce roared.

Upon seeing his king shut his eyes once more, Slayer realized that Drayce was about to do one thing he ought to by no means do. He pulled what little vitality was left in him to make his voice cease shaking. “Then do not use your powers, Dray. You understand you’ll be able to’t.”

“I can when I’ve to avoid wasting somebody.”

“You already saved me from the enemies,” Slayer countered. “Do not return in your phrases for my sake, please.” 

“Your Majesty, we will nonetheless save him!” Sir Berolt introduced as quickly as he reached them. Beside him have been Common Cavrois Loiso and one other man dressed as a servant.

Common Cavrois Loiso regarded on the spy spies. “You stated that there’s somebody right here who can deal with somebody on the verge of loss of life?”

“Sure, Common. There may be such a famend miraculous doctor contained in the fortress. We are able to take Sir Slayer to him. Though I’m not certain about his legs, a minimum of, his life won’t be in peril.” 

The air round Drayce modified. He regarded on the two older males. “I once more have to go away him to you. I will be there shortly after getting Arlan.”

“I’ll accompany you,” stated the army common.

“No want,” Drayce rejected.

The knights took Slayer away on a makeshift stretcher, and Common Cavrois and Sir Berolt would accompany them with the spy. Though Marquis Percy’s troopers had surrendered, there have been nonetheless some troopers who had not given up preventing.

Drayce regarded round and realized {that a} sure particular person was lacking. “Prince Cian?”

“He went again inside to get Prince Arlan,” Sir Berolt replied.

Earlier, when Cian realized the scenario was of their management, he left to search out one reckless prince who did not look after his life.

Drayce introduced with him two knights as he reentered the fortress. As somebody who knew Arlan just like the again of his hand, he was certain the place his good friend will need to have gone.

Not simply Arlan, now Drayce needed to get the Prince of Abetha too. 

Drayce felt like he was coping with two naughty and cussed children who liked to do what they wished and did not wish to comply with plans, inflicting extra bother for these round them. 

If solely Arlan had taken Prince Cian out of the fortress after rescuing him and handed him over to Abetha’s army common exterior,  Drayce would not have to fret about them and he may concentrate on Slayer who was on the verge of loss of life.

As he rushed in the direction of the place he knew Arlan was headed, he couldn’t assist however ponder how Godfrey Percy managed to entice Slayer. As his most trusted knight, he knew how sturdy and sensible Slayer was.

Might there be one thing else he is not conscious of?
