Chapter 1: Prologue
The sky is clear today, paired with the sun high up in the sky
I gaze upon the scenery that lies upon me, a colossal elliptical structure made of stone, stands at four stories tall-- a colosseum, in short
As I enter the colossal building, I can heard the crowds cursing my name, throwing insult after insult. They have been so noisy since this morning...
Crowd1: "Kill him!"
Crowd2: "Burn him on stake!"
Crowd3: "Torture him!"
The Kingdom that I once sought to protect, The place where I consider it to be my home-- my kingdom, my empire
Eliterra
The sole kingdom that managed to unify... Ah no, subjugated other Kingdom under it's rule seems to be more fitting choice of words.
As for now, Eliterra already conquered most of the land on this beautiful continent of terra. Though it's all thanks to our elite soldiers of Eliterra, it was mostly because of me
Erlias Forterra, the 7th emperor of Eliterra, the one who managed to come up with different plan and scheme to make Eliterra always comes out on top.
Framing, Conspiracy, Treason... There's a lot that I have done within the palace to remove everything that's a threat to my empire, to me.
As such...
The one who abandoned and made the citizens of my empire suffer was none other than me
I even Killed the most beloved person on this state-- the saintess.
I did everything within my power to get everything I wanted, but... seems like rebellion was something that I couldn't prevented.
Year 297.
A day where everything that I has built ruined to pieces in just one fateful day.
It seems like a lot conspirators within my own empire managed to rally the citizens and most of the noble behind their banner
A simple cause, to kill the tyrant.
Crowd5: "Kill the tyrant!"
Crowd6: "Sinner!"
I have been weakly draged from the dungeon, to the center of the colosseum, where everyone including children could watch my execution.
I look up to the sky once more...
The sun is unusually bright today, it's as if like the Heaven also wanted to watch me die today
"The heck are you mocking me for..." I gasp, Is it directed towards the gods? Crowds? Who knows...
The guards are silent and harsh as they bring me towards the Center where I would get beheaded
They tied me tightly, making sure I won't escape from the binding. But, even if they didn't tie me, I probably couldn't able to escape, considering I was born without any magical or physical advantage after all.
???: "Erlias Forterra, today was the day you meet your judgement!"
The sudden voice makes me look up to where the source came from
He is standing proud on the balcony over the enraging mob, surrounded by his loyal patrons and knights
Arthur Pendragon, the man that managed to ruin everything I have built... Someone that managed to rally everyone under one cause, A man that's loved by the gods.... My once childhood friend.
He is the complete opposite of me, he got everything I wished for
From the moment he's of age, he's already chosen by the heavens to wield the holy sword, his magical prowess also unmatched as well. Not only that, he also have a strong unit of knight at his disposal, The round table
A group of elite knights that follows Arthur for every of his decision, they will not listen to anyone else other than Arthur, Not even me the emperor.
Arthur: "Erlias... You... I hope it's never turn out like this, but you never heard my opinion nor my suggestions" He looked at me in the eye sympathetically, and with a pity he continued "I consider you as my closest friend, but I can't ignore the fact that you always do everything to your own benefit, you used everything even our own citizens, You even kill Luna-- tell me, WHERE IS YOUR HONOR ERLIAS?!" He shouted.
Arghh darn it, you're way too noisy!
Should I even give him a response? Would it even matter now? Just hurry up with the execution already...
"I'm burned by the sun out here, can't you just hurry up and cut my head already? Or can't you tell your friends in the sky to decrease the temperature?" I mockingly ask him
"The day that I killed Luna was a long time ago! Oh What? Did you still love the saintess? Ha! Even by the time of her death she didn't speak your name even once!"
It was just an attention seeking kind of mockery, just something I thought would make this whole event more interesting.
Aaaand, drum roll please~
It's a success! Every curses and slurs the crowds throw at me has gone up tenfold! Now this is what you call a party
Arthur: "Don't you dare say her name... Where is your honor to protect your kingdom as the king?! You neglect all that in pursuit of power! Did you know the pain and suffering you have give to us--"
"--SHUT UP!" I cut him off before he can finish his sentence
"Honor this... Honor that... All this talk about Honor..."
I weakly look to where he stand, then to the crowds that's surrounding me.
"HONOR WON'T GET YOU ANYWHERE NOR IT WILL FILL YOUR BELLY WITH FOOD!" A sudden outburst, unlike everything that I always do.... That's so uncharacteristic even for me.
"All of you keep talking about this crap, Who do you think is the one that managed to get you all on top?! Me! That's right, it was not Honor, it was Me! I was the one who make it possible, Me, Me, Me!" I yelled at them, making sure everyone could hear my voice
It was followed by a silence... Fear. Something they always felt from the start of my reign
Arthur: "Enough!" He tried to stop whatever influence I still have within me
Arthur: "With the will of the God, I execute you O' evil doer of this world, may you leave behind your unholy legacy along with your death!"
Finally!
*Whistle~ "Guhahaha! Way to go O'king of holiness! you still have a long way to go, but I'm sure, one day you will see what I'm talking about!" I laughed, even if it was a mockery or some sort, it's also my last advice to him.
And that's...
the final words I said before I lose my head
*Slash*
I wish you best of luck...
My friend
