"Useless bastard!" Will dissatisfied with how the royal guard acts. Strode forward with an indifferent expression. How can he let a woman stop them just because she said so? He certainly couldn't let that happen.
His sword suddenly flashes in front as he strikes. What he wanted was to scared the woman away. He thought that if she saw him attack she will definitely back away in fear. However, what happens next is something he didn't expect or even think about.
Swoosh!
A gust of wind passes by in front of him and his brows furrowed. He then just realize that the woman in front was already holding a sword longer than an ordinary sword. After that, he felt a warm feeling in his hand followed by intense pain.
"Aaaarghhh!"
Will cry in pain as he looks at his hand holding the sword. Well, to be precise, he was looking at his now severed hand on the ground still holding his sword tightly. Blood flows out from the severed arm severely. While the pain makes almost makes Will crazy. Tears started to come out from his eyes and his face was pale white.
Siii!
The royal guards who witness all these things breathe in cold air. They felt that the hair all over their body stood up erect like a needle. A shiver run down through their spine as they unconsciously took a step back.
When they turn their eyes to the woman. What they saw makes them feel very terrified. The gentle smile was now gone and replaced by a sinister expression. Her expression was so vicious that they felt their whole body was thrown into a freezing sea.
"Y...you!" Will couldn't believe what happened to him. He stares with resentment in his eyes to the woman who cut off his hand. "All of you will pay for what you've done to me. The queen won't let you go for this"
"Even with that injury, you can still say threatening words to us? Then I should end your pitiful life right now" with her bloodied sword, Unohana approach Will who was slowly moving away.
Hearing her words, Will's expression becomes desperate and immediately begs, "M...mercy, please don't kill me. I can help you with the queen. Didn't you all come here for her? I can-"
He didn't even manage to finish his words when a sword cut his head from his body. His eyes were still wide open as if he couldn't believe that he would die in this way. His head rolled several inches away before stopping with his face towards the royal guards.
Witnessing such a brutal scene, even though they were warriors who were already baptized in battle. They still felt their stomach-turning as a sour taste rises up to their throats.
Thud!
"Please spare me, we were just listening to the queen's orders" one after the other, the royal guards fell to their knees and the sound of begging sounded in the area.
Lori listening to the begging voices of the royal guards just glance at them before saying, "Although I know that you are all just listening to orders. But pointing your swords to the one who feeds you is an unforgivable crime. Cut one of your arms and scram away from the capital!"
When the royal heard Lori's words, their bodies tremble. As a warrior cutting one of their arms will have a huge impact on their abilities. Cutting one of them also means cutting half of their lives. They were unwilling to do it, but when they saw Lori's cold eyes staring at them. They swallow their unwillingness and decided to do it.
'What is one arm? At least I can preserve my life' the royal guards thought.
Clenching their teeth very hard, the royal guards cut one of their arms. They suppress their screams afraid that Lori will be displeased with them and eventually kills them.
"Let's go" after watching the royal guards cut their arms, Lori said and enter the palace.
While Lori was walking towards the throne room, he meets someone who he really hates. "Looks like you are having a great time this couple of days. Right, brother?"
Leon who was in high spirits this day wanted to invite Princess Jean around the capital. Who would have thought that as he was about to go to her, he would meet his brother that he hated so much. His face immediately becomes dark and he disdain appeared on his lips. "Trash! Don't ever call me brother or else I will pull out your tongue"
Lori acted as if he didn't notice the disdain in his words and said, "How can you say that? We are brothers, although not from the same mother. We still have the same blood of Silverwing inside our bodies. Do you mean that you disdain being a Silverwing?"
"Bastard! Don't play with my words" anger immediately appeared in Leon's face as glare at Lori. Then he remembered something since Lori is here. That means that he survived the attack of the barbarians in the city. A cruel thought surface in his mind, 'However, even if you survive the attack of the barbarians. That is also good since you decided to come here. I will make sure you will die a horrible death without a complete body'
A worried expression appeared in Leon's face as he said, "Brother, ignore my previous words your brother is just very busy lately and because of that I'm in a bad mood. When I heard that the barbarians attack the Mountain Cloud City, I immediately think of you. Do you know how worried I become when that happens? I even want to rally the army to save you from the barbarians"
Lori listens to Leon with a dumb expression on his face. 'Who is this dumb man in front of me. You thought that just because you showed a worried expression to me I will believe you. In several years that I've stayed in the palace. Never have you become worried about me. And now you started to do this acting? Does your head got kicked by a horse or what?'
Lori smile and decided to play along with Leon's acting, "Brother need not worry anymore. Didn't I come back safe this time? I just hope brother can let me see the queen mother. I heard from my way here that my parents were missing. I wanted to ask for the queen's help and find them"
'Once an idiot will always be an idiot' Leon thought and said solemnly, "Brother do you still need to ask for my help? We are brother, even if you don't ask for my help I will still find them. Come let me escort you to mother"
When he finished talking, he now just notice that there are two people standing behind Lori. One was a tall man with a piercing glare, while the other was a beautiful woman with a gentle expression with a soft smile on her lips. When he saw her, Leon felt that the spring has come and flowers were blooming everywhere.
Leon slowly walks towards her and said, "Can this prince know the lady's name? I was just stunned by your incredible beauty and wanted to know more about you"
Behind Leon, Lori wore a sneer on his face as he nodded towards Unohana.
Unohana smiles softly and said politely, "You can call me Retsu Unohana"
"Retsu Unohana, what a beautiful name that complements your beauty," Leon said with a handsome smile. "Then let this prince escort lady Unohana to see my queen mother"
