Chapter 76: Zirel Covan Nottrakon (2)
The subsequent few weeks have been a blur in Zirels thoughts. He had solely identified his occasion members for such a quick interval, the size of their sojourn collectively lasting lower than a month. The Elite Guards had undoubtedly meant to ship a message, however that they had not dared to even contact a hair on his head till now.
The dungeoneers that had comprised his occasion had neither rank nor standing to protect them. The youngsters of easy, strange people from the countryside that had staked all they held acquainted to set out in pursuit of their goals, to hunt energy and someday attain ascension had discovered themselves slaughtered on the sword of these they wished to develop into.
Why?
Why did they must endure for the interior disputes of the Nottrakon household?
The reply was so simple as it was bitter within the eyes of the Elite Guard, anonymous vagrants missing even a shred of noble blood have been a dime a dozen. Their disappearances wouldn’t even provoke an inquiry, for it was widespread for whole events to get wiped within the Zelez Dungeon. Even when Zirel was to supply proof for the crime that had occurred, what did it matter when the Nottrakon household was the legislation?
Within the eyes of his brother, these with out standing have been price lower than the air they breathed. He did want to ship a message, sure. However he didnt need to antagonize him, didnt need to make a sworn enemy out of his personal blood lineage not till he safely ascended to the throne.
It took Zirel three weeks to grasp the character of the feelings that coursed by means of his whole being.
Throughout that point, the three Elite Guards had supplanted themselves within the place of his deceased occasion members. To not assist Zirel, no. They didnt really intervene in his battles, at the least circuitously.
They might transfer when the battle neared its conclusion after which steal his laborious fought kills. Not all, however simply sufficient to halve what his leveling velocity should have been. It was a brazen humiliation unworthy of a prince, designed to both make him hand over and return to the Nottrakon Household Property, the place the primary prince may simply monitor his actions or lash out and assault the Elite Guards, the implications of which might have been a extreme reprimand from his father, the King,
He had been outmaneuvered.
Each transfer he made, his first brother had a counter prepared for him.
Lastly although, he had reached his restrict.
Zirel had been indignant earlier than. He had been indignant on the sheer lack of emotion his father had displayed when his mom handed. Their marriage might need been a political one, however that stony face that appeared to be devoid of any emotion as he gazed upon moms coffin stuffed him with anger every time he thought of it.
However this was totally different.
This was rage.
Sufficient, he had mentioned, as he stopped in the midst of his tracks.
He watched because the Elite guards that had been flanking him in an inverted triangle formation perked up at his phrases.
Are you lastly able to go house, Prince Zirel? One of many Elite Guards, a tall mountain of a person that glided by the identify Rannok, requested.
Then, Zirel plunged his [Blade of Necrosis] into the susceptible guards neck and this time, it was a gush of contaminated blood that spilled out.
The reminiscence he had been reflecting upon lastly snapped Zirel from his reverie.
The headache, he groaned, because the ache intensified. Then he realized that his palms have been trembling, clearly shaken by the recollection.
Why?
He had been utterly calm when he had slaughtered all three of the guards, avenging his fallen occasion members. He had been unfazed when he had solid communiques to his brother of their identify, utilizing the communication artifact he had extracted from one of many guards corpses, to make sure that his beloved first brother remained gleefully conscious that his plan had utterly fallen aside.
That each one was as anticipated.
A sudden urge to look upon his Soul Card prodded at his thoughts, although he as soon as once more couldn’t make sense of it.
He wished to know extra a couple of card that he had wielded his whole life?
Ignoring the why, Zirel ceded to his personal request seeing no hurt in succumbing to the odd craving.
Reaching inside his chest, his very soul, he obtained what he had sought.
