Chương 32: Kings
Hayato walked near the window in the princess's room, he started to observe the outside of the castle and he saw several groups of knights walking around the perimeter of the castle. They seem to be unaware of what happened inside the princess's room
' Just I thought, no one seems to be aware of what happened to her, that gives me a great chance to escape smoothly '
Hayato turned to see his right where the princess is and he saw that he was suffocating with the blankets of her bed so he approaches her and turns her around saying with a nonchalant face " Whatever you did to isolate this room will help me now "
" .... " The princess is completely immobilized but she can make very soft sounds
Hayato took the blanket that was under her legs making it with a swift movement
" Well, princess, I have to go now, I hope you can sleep well " Hayato said with a cold smile
" ….. " The princess had an angered face
" Don't be so angry, I think your face now goes very well with your personality, hahaha " Hayato makes fun of the princess one last time and then he put the blanket on her face then *SLAP* he slaps the princess's face with his right hand " ...!! " the princess moans in pain and the white blanked turned red from the blood that comes from her face
Hayato grins and stretches his right hand then his Akatsuki clothes appeared, he put on the Akatsuki clothes and Tobi's mask too, and he began to walk to the door but he stopped before he left the room
" Princess, I want you to remember that this isn't the last time we will see each other, when the time comes, I will be present on your life's last day " Hayato said with an emotionless face and he left the room
' If I had known that no one will come to help her, I wouldn't have burned the door with the Amaterasu ' Hayato was a little upset
' I need to find a lonely knight, I will knock him out and transform into him, that way I can leave without any problem '
Hayato walked into the hallway, but he didn't see any knights after a couple of minutes then he felt a change in the air that made him stop
' Hmm? that was strange It felt like I leave a big bubble or something like that, that was the cause of why they didn't hear her? but how I didn't notice it before? ' Hayato turned to see behind him, but he didn't see anything strange ' Well, whatever ' Hayato turned around and he walked again after he was about to leave the hallway he heard some knights speaking at the end of the hallway, so he slowed down his footsteps and moves towards them carefully
" Did you hear? someone sent a bag sealed to his Majesty, and no one can open it to see if it's dangerous to his majesty, the Captain said it was sealed with magic, I don't understand what he means about that, but we have to go there and protect him for any threat " One of the knights said with curiosity the other knight next to him
" I think it's magic used to identify the receptor, a friend of mine received a package like that, he said it was to prevent someone else from stealing the content " The other knight answered
" Ah, so that's what he meant eh, our Majesty wants to open the bag in about ten minutes from now then he will send some knights to investigate who are the culprits of killing the Brywood family yesterday " The first knight said incredulously
" Yeah, it seems that two persons left the scene, it seems that they were the ones who attacked the Brywood family, some witnesses saw them leaving the mansion very fast " The knight responded the other with a serious voice
" They could be the killers, I wonder what happened with the Count and wife's heads, even his guards were decapitated " The first knight responded in fear
" They are crazy and worst of all, powerful, to attack and do that to the Brywood family, is like making the entire kingdom their enemy, now let's leave we don't want to be late " Both knights turned around to leave but when they turned around Hayato hit them on the neck and both knights fell unconscious
' So a bag, I think the bag is the present that Wade sent to the king, hehe, Now I want to see his reaction, that could be fun ' Hayato makes hand seals and " Transformation "*PUFF* Hayato transformed into one of the knights then he grabs them both and he returns to the room of the princess to throws them inside
' Let's go, I hope I can find some knights that can guide me where the King is '
Hayato returned to the hallway and he begins to search for some knights. He was walking until someone called him from behind
" Hey! what are you doing? you have to go to the throne chamber " Hayato turned around and he saw a knight using golden armor, the style is the same as the other knights but the golden color makes the knight completely different from the others
" Do you hear me? " The Golden Knight asked with a cold voice
" Sorry, I think I'm lost again, the castle is so big " Hayato bowed his head in shame
" Hmm? so you are one of the new ones, it's ok, come with me we have to get there before his Majesty arrives. He ordered that every knight in the castle went even the royal guards need to be there " The Golden Knight said with a calm voice
" Sorry for the trouble " Hayato said with an ashamed voice
' The armor that he uses seems to be sturdier than the normal knights, maybe he is stronger too, I will try to gain some information '
" Sir, what can I do to become a knight like you? " Hayato asked with curiosity
" You mean a Royal Guard? you should already know that " The Golden Knight said with suspicion when he turned to see Hayato
" Oh, well I thought that maybe there is a shortcut or something like that " Hayato said with a nervous voice
" There are no shortcuts in becoming a Royal Guard, you have to show your strength to the former King and if you have lucky he could choose you to become one " The Golden Knight said with pride
' That means that Conrad is in a rank inferior to him, maybe he is even stronger than Conrad '
Hayato and the Golden Knight walked deeper into the castle, they climb some big extravagant stairs and then they arrive at two big wooden doors with eagles carved in a very detailed way on both doors
" Let's enter, our Majesty should arrive in a couple of minutes " The Golden Knight opens one of the big wooden doors and there the throne room was a very big area with columns on each side, only the center doesn't have columns because there it was a long red carpet and on each side of the carpet was a lot of normal knights there should be around 50 of them. the Golden Knights were near the throne there are 9 golden knights, 5 on the left side of the throne and 4 on the right side
" Go to your position " The Golden Knight said coldly and he walked leaving Hayato standing there, The Golden Knight joined the other Golden Knights at the right side of the throne
" Understood " Hayato played along and he joined the Knights at the right side of the carpet
After a few minutes of standing still, Hayato was bored to the bone
' Oh man, if I had known that this will be so boring, I would have left from the beginning '
A couple of minutes more one of the Golden Knights yelled
" Our King has arrived!! " When the Golden Knight yelled, all of them kneels in their positions, Hayato took a few seconds to react, but he kneeled too
A middle-aged man entered from a door that was hidden next to a column on the right side of the throne. The middle-aged man has short black hair, blue eyes, a toned body, and was very tall around 6'4'' ft (1.93 meters). He was wearing golden armor with some touches of red, besides, the armor has a red cape with white fluffy fur where it connected with the man's neck but the most notorious thing in the man was the golden crown with green and blue jewels decorating it.
Hayato observed the man with a frowning expression as he walks to the throne and he can't avoid comparing him with some girls he knows ' His facial features resemble more Ellen's than Alyra's, Alyra's looks must resemble her mother more '
The king arrived next to the throne but he didn't sit down he just stood in front of it watching the knights present with a serious face then he says in a soft but powerful voice " Raise, we all know what happened to the Brywood family now, we need to found the culprits for killing them to bring them to justice "
And all the knights kneeling stand at the same time even Hayato who was expecting the moment with a slight grin on his face
Then the King turns to see the Golden Knight who was with Hayato before and says " Captain Drake, Bring me the bag "
" Yes, my Lord " The Golden knight bows slightly and leaves the room by the same door where he and Hayato came. After a few minutes, he arrives with a big brown bag that was blinking in a blue color
" Here it is my Lord " The Golden knight puts the bag in front of the king and he kneels
" You can go to your position, Captain " The king said with an emotionless face and he extended his hands towards the bag but he was interrupted by the Golden Knight
" My Lord, with all respect, are you are planning to open it now? you're not going to wait for your Royal Father? " The Golden Knight said with surprise
" No, I don't think this bag is dangerous, so, he doesn't need to be here " The King said with a fearless smile
" But my King, we have been ordered that if something unusual arrives, we have to tell him " The Golden Knight said in a solemn tone
" Hmph " The King only smirks with confidence and touches the bag *CRACK* the blue blinking cracked and exploded in little blue particles, all the Golden Knights were ready to jump in front of the king to serve as human shields
The King opens the bag and he turns white from the surprise, then he introduces his hands in the bag and he takes out a blond man's head
The King makes a pained expression seeing the head in his hands and whispers with sadness ".....Gerald "
All the knights in the room had shocked expressions, they can't believe what they are seeing but Hayato smirks coldly under his helmet seeing their reaction
" Your Majesty! that's Count Gerald!? " A Golden Knight approached the king and said with astonishment
" .... " The King doesn't say anything, he just handed the head to the Golden Knight and then he puts both of his hands in the bag again taking out a black-haired woman's head this time
".....Beatriz too " The King was more astonished than before then he took the bag from the bottom and empties it slowly causing more heads began to roll into the room
All the knights in the room were alarmed except for one of them. The king observes every head on the floor, he seems to recognize all of them " Even Gerald's guards are here, this was sent by the culprits " The King said in a grave voice
One of the Golden Knights walked towards the bag and grabs a small letter covered with some blood " Your Majesty! there is a letter here! and it says that is for you "
" Let me see that " The King grabbed the letter and began to read it in a soft voice " You should have known that this is gonna happen, next time you better have some control over your nobles or the same thing will repeat again and again " The King began to make a serious face and he says " The culprits must know the Brywood family, maybe if we investigate deeply we can find them, interrogate the surviving knights, maybe they can describe better the appearance of the culprits "
" Your majesty, all of them haven't wake up, they seem to have been beaten by someone with unrivaled strength, but they still didn't show any signs of waking up " A knight approached and said with a solemn face
The king sees the Knight with surprise " What!? Then the culprits must come from another kingdom, sabotage maybe? " he makes a thinking face
The Captain of the Golden Knights approaches and he bows a little " My lord, we can't be so sure yet, we need to investigate more "
" Good idea Captain " The King extended his right hand and ordered all knights present " Send Light Mages from the temple to heal the surviving knights, they can wake them up from their slumber "
" Yes, my King! " The knights bowed their heads and then someone else enters the throne room causing all the knights to turn to see him when they saw the one who entered they kneeled quickly " Welcome my Lord! " All the knights yelled at the same time Hayato only kneel unknowing who was the Old man that had entered
" Son, you know who attacked the Brywood family? " The Old man entered the throne walking on the carpet and ignoring all the knights, Hayato saw him and was surprised, he didn't have an old man's body the only thing that looks old is his face because his body looks bulkier by all the muscles he has, the old man has a long white beard, short white hair and he is wearing a sleeveless golden armor that shows his very strong arms, he is like an old version of the King ' This old man must be Alyra's grandfather she said he is really powerful '
" Father I… " The King bowed his head a little but he didn't finish talking when the Old man says
" Those decapitated heads are from the Brywood family? " The Old man said with a cold voice seeing all the heads dispersed on the carpet
" Yes, father, the culprits sent the heads to us, I think they were enemies of the Brywood family " The King said with a nervous voice
" *SIGH* I promised my old friend that I would take care of his son, but now his son is ended like this " The old man started to release his killing intent stunning everyone there, then he turned around to see the knights
Hayato watches him with a very serious expression and thinks ' Alyra was right, this Old man is very dangerous, for the moment, I'm not his rival '
" Who are you? " The Old man said in a very cold voice
' He is talking to me? ' Hayato acted naturally but inside he was surprised
" I'm speaking to you, the last knight over there " The Old man said coldly and all the knights turned to see Hayato
Hayato frowns and thinks ' Damn it, I shouldn't have come here, it was a stupid idea, and now I have to fight my way out of here '
