Chương 3: Night # 2
Daciana was sitting on the throne, still wearing her blood stained armor and cloak. Her sword was propped against the side of the throne within easy reach but her elbows were propped on the arms of the throne and her fingers were interlaced in front of her mouth. Her helm and veil was being held by Kyou.
Daciana crossed her armored covered legs as Kyou motioned to two Kou soldiers to bring in the King.
The two men shoved to former King to his knees before her.
"We bring before you the former King of this lovely kingdom, General." Her Second-in-Command said as he looked down at his parchment. "His crimes are long and bloody...you know of them, of course, General Dracul." He looked to the kneeling man. "You are brought before Her Grace, General Daciana Dracul of the Kou Empire, Conquer of the Dungeon Sitri, High General of the Draconis Army and Princess of the Draconis Kingdom."
"Impressive title for an invader." He snapped out. "Did you conquer us for your Kingdom?"
Daciana her un-laced her hands and drummed a pointy, armored finger on the arm of the chair as she stared down at him, "The Draconis isn't interested in conquering any kingdoms in the mainland...too far away." She smiled slightly. "We're conquering you for the Kou Empire."
"Are you their slave then?"
"I am an ally of theirs." Daciana said.
"And by Kou Law any King and ruling family is to die or be banished...I like killing the cruel Kings, I had already spoken to your sisters. They are being sent somewhere else, far from you and your abuse." The King didn't say anything at that, just glared levelly at her. "Most of your nobles are dead and the rest will become slaves in the Kou Empire." Daciana didn't like slavery but she had to do it otherwise she'd be set far from the Princes and Princesses and she had formed a strong bond with them, growing up with them helped. "And your kingdom will become part of the Kou Empire, your people will become theirs. Your kingdom will no longer exist after they are done with it."
She looked to her Second-in-Command and said, "Take him to the executioner's block and take his head."
The Second-in-Command raised his right arm and hit his clenched armored fist on his chest, just above his chest, "Your will is our own." Then he grabbed the man by the scruff of his robes and dragged him away, Daciana watched silently for a while before she sighed softly.
"Bring in the next one."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Afterwards Daciana and her men were getting ready to leave, the Kou army had just arrived and were getting ready to change this former kingdom into a small version of the Kou capital. She was mounted on her horse as she watched the Kou soldiers tear down buildings and walls, Daciana and her army helped them a bit when they broke into the Kingdom.
But their job was done here and it was now to return to the Kou capital.
"We're ready to leave, Daciana." Her Second-in-Command said as he appeared next to her on his own horse.
"Alright, let's go." Daciana said as she turned her horse around.
"Move out!" He roared and as one the Kou army marched away from the fallen kingdom.
Daciana didn't look back as she rode away around her was her most trusted men, a line of defense in case anyone was to attack her. Not that any would, the villagers here viewed her as their savior, someone who saved them from a cruel king and nobles.
She was eager to return to the capital, she missed the people that lived there and missed her home. Daciana hated being far from them, she knew that they felt the same way as she did. Her own Generals had been sent back home after they had conquered the dungeon, apparently the Empress had felt uneasy having so many savages around her and her family.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They arrived at the capital a few months later, they had used the shortest route back to the capital.
"You all get some rest." Daciana ordered. "Kei and I will go speak to the Prince." Then the two warriors turned and left them, knowing that they would follow her orders.
She and Kei walked by a group of nobles and they watched her as she walked further away from them then they jerked in surprise and fear when the older man that had been following several feet behind her also walked by them...he had glared them down as he passed them. Kei hated the nobles here and never hide it, so did the others but they hid it very well.
And once they had turned a corner the noblemen put their heads together and started to whisper.
"I see she had returned from her campaign." The first nobleman said.
The second nobleman looked at him and said, "I thought she'd be long for several months..."
"No, apparently she had conquered the kingdom a lot sooner then anyone had expected." The third nobleman said. "The Draconis are truly monsters..."
Meanwhile the woman and man appeared before a large ornate door, which was opened by the guards stationed outside the door. They walked in and kneeled before the man seated at the long table inside the room.
"We're back, Your Highness." Daciana asked as she lowered her head. "The Kingdom is no more and the Kou Empire has a new territory."
Kouen looked over at her and says, "Good...I want you to remain here, my sister and brother has been nagging about when you were returning." There was a pause and then. "But I trust that the campaign that I had sent you is finished, Daciana and Kei?"
Daciana inclined her head and said, "Of course, Prince Kouen...as always, I get the job done."
Kei doesn't reply, he simply remained silent and allowed his General do the talking.
"Excellent," Kouen said with a smirk. "You may go, I am sure you want to see my younger siblings."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Daciana said as she and Kei stood up and walked out of the room. But when they left the room, they separated to go down different paths. Kei to clean his weapon and armor while Daciana went to find Kougyoku and Kouha.
