Chương 131: Snow White Prince

"The Prince has been wounded!" Ralf Kaliker shouts from the top of the palace, alerting all the loyalists who were all currently restraining the surrendered Reconquista guardsmen.

The man carefully picks up Prince Wales body and glides down to the ground level atop his dragon, laying down the Prince as he continues to struggle and sputter in an attempt to defy the wound damaging his body. Ralf's dragon flies away afterwards, not willing to sit around and wait for its master.

Judging by the way he was trying to gasp for breath, Michael suspected that one of his lungs had been punctured. Which he didn't think was something that medieval medicine could heal... Though, magic was always a wild card.

Julius rungs over and tears the Prince's clothes open, revealing the bloody wound deeply cutting across his torso. The knight sucks in a breath at the sight, his eyes squinting as he quickly looks around, "The Prince needs aid immediately! Are there any Water Mages present!?" he frantically asks as the Water element allows for healing magic depending on the user's skill.

Michael feels Tiffania's gaze hit him as they watch the Prince slowly start to bleed out, her determined look making him start to regret coming here... He knew what she wanted to do but, it seemed like a waste to him...

"Ah-I, I can heal him." Tiffania announces from the side, her quiet voice sounding thunderous in the ears of all those who were listening.

Julius, Ralf, and the other loyalists' eyes shoot towards her with pleading, almost pitiful looks on their faces. "If this is possible, I beg of you! Save our Prince!"

The muscles in Tiffania's jaw firms as she nods and walks over while retrieving her Fairy Fire from between her breasts. The small object glows and glimmers in the light, and while those watching feel slight suspicion on her intentions, they allow her forward nonetheless.

He drops to her knees beside the Prince and takes a moment to examine his face, marvelling at the similarities between him and her father.

After a moment of nostalgia, she carefully pushes the Fairy Fire into the Prince's chest, specifically where the wound lays. It crushes under her hand, and a bright green light envelopes them both in an aura, causing not just Prince Wales' wound to heal, but also removing Tiffania's fatigue.

In fact, she'd misused the item, as it was only supposed to heal the person who crushes it. Her crushing it against the Prince's body has split the healing energies between the both of them. This still allows it to heal him, but, it isn't nearly as effective as it should have been.

Once the glow subsides, Tiffania stands and takes a step back, looking down at the now less severe wound on the Prince's chest. His lungs and ribs had been healed, but the damaged flesh and skin still make it look quite severe, despite most of the danger passing.

"D-did it work?" Julien cautiously asks, as he watches his Prince start to breathe more evenly.

Tiffania chews her lip, "I-I don't know." she mutters.

"It seems your treatment is much to be desired, but fret not, I will render aid if you'll allow me!" a new voice states as a hooded man walks into the square, looking no worse for wear despite the chaos occurring around the city.

Julien stares at him, his instincts wanting to protect the Prince against this foe, but his reasoning forces him to think rationally. Even if the Prince manages to survive in this state, without help from a healer he'd likely eventually succumb to an infection of some sort. Nevertheless, he'd already allowed the hooded girl to try heal the Prince, so he'd let this stranger try, though, while keeping an extremely close eye on them.

Michael feels the hairs on his arms raise up in response to the stranger, but his stifles it for now, not really knowing why they evoked such a strong reaction from his body.

"If you can heal him, then please, sir." Julien states, gesturing at the Prince while tightly gripping his sword in case of any treachery.

The hooded man nods, walking over and kneeling beside the Prince, immediately beginning to cast some spells on him. Luckily, all of these were Water healing magic, causing the Prince's wound to quickly close shut, leaving nought but the blood he'd previously shed as the skin knits itself closed.

"And there you have it," the man says while brushing off dirt from his knees, "The Prince is fully healed, would you like for me to wake him?" he asks, and Julien quickly nods. "We owe you a huge debt, sir. If there is anything I offer, please, do not suffer on decorum."

The hooded man nods and waves his wand at the Prince again, causing a thin film of water to massage his face, it seeps into his skin, and a moment later Prince Wales eyes shoot open. "Wha!?" he gasps, sitting up and breathing heavily as he holds his chest, memories of getting stuck by a spell still recent in his mind. He quickly calms however as he notices a few familiar faces watching around him.

He easily recognises Michael, Agnes, and a few of his loyalists, and breaths a sigh of relief as he glances around and realises that things seemed to be over. He looks to between Julien and the now burning capital city and can't help but ask, "Tell me of the events that led to this..." he trails off, feeling somewhat distraught at the state of the city that he and his family had ruled for many generations.

Julien lets out a sigh, knowing that explaining that most of the destruction was caused by the loyalists in an attempt to save him wouldn't go over well. "Prince, it started when you were captured by Cromwell and his men, we loyalists we in disarray at the news and-" he starts, explaining his actions and the events that led up until now, the Prince having not known any of this due to being kept under lock and key in the dungeons.

Chương 132: Target Acquired

As Julien gives a quick review to Prince Wales, Michael's attention is drawn to Agnes who's now glaring at him with arms crossed. This lasts for a couple seconds until he finally has enough and speaks up, "Do you need something?"

...

She reluctantly nods after a moment, "False-Familiar, I've been given orders from her majesty to observe you, and should you prove worthy, buy your services. From your actions today, I suspect your character is different from what is known..." she hefts her rifle while rolling her neck and shoulders, causing some quiet cracks to echo out, "Should you accept and complete your tasks as requested, you can expect a full pardon, enough gold to fill a wagon, and mayhaps the ability to return to your master." she explains, listing off the various rewards the princess is supposedly willing to gift.

Michael finds his voice caught in his throat as he hears the last 'reward', the ability to return to Louise?... Why would he want that? To be suborned again? Not only that, but he refused to leave Tiffania, meaning she'd likely have to accompany him under disguise the entire time, hoping no one would catch her out.

Then again, there were many things he needed to do in Tristania, obtaining Derflinger, retrieving Brimir's Prayerbook for Tiffania to learn Void Spells... But he doubted they'd willingly give the book to him, meaning he'd have to steal it, setting him back as a criminal.

His plans to fight the Albion army that Saito did in canon were already ruined, as he'd essentially just helped Prince Wales defeat the Reconquista. With Cromwell dead and the capital in ruins but captured nonetheless, the loyalists were set to win the war...

Habitually rubbing his mouth, he looks up at Agnes, "Specifically, what would you have me doing?"

...

Agnes sends a meaningful look at him, "Unsavoury things to help cement her Majesty's position." she states, saying all she needs to for Michael to understand just what they wanted him for. Even in Albion, he'd heard rumours of the rising tension between Tristain nobles, mostly due to his actions of killing Guiche as Louise familiar, and Henrietta's acceptance of Louise as her Royal Attendant.

In simple terms, she and the princess wanted him to deal with any nobles with notions of rebellion. Most likely General Gramont and all of his followers... While Michael wanted to do this anyway, he was very, very wary of attempting it under the princess' orders. In such a situation, betrayal was all too easy. And he doubted Louise' loyalty towards himself exceeded that of the Princess.

Just as he's about to reject her, Prince Wales voice makes itself known in the square. "I see, it seems that it would be expedient to thank my saviours." he says, glancing between Tiffania and the hooded man, the latter of which immediately kneeling in subservience towards the Prince. "Your thanks warms me, Prince... But I feel I must request something from you, despite how it ails me to make such a request." he says with his head lowered.

Prince Wales thinks for a moment before nodding, "If it's within my power," he simply says, waiting for the man's request.

The stranger nods while continuing to look down at the floor, ignoring the disgruntlement of the loyalists at his daring attempt to wring favours from the Prince in such a time, "I wish for your protection and pardon... I was one of the families who were forced to follow Cromwell, and I have done unsavoury things to keep myself and my family safe."

Julien scoffs, "Just a traitor unwilling to accept blame for his actions. My Prince! We must not accept such people within our ranks, for risk of beginning yet another rebellion years from now!"

Prince Wales shakes his head and raises a hand to silence Julien however, knowing that he couldn't simply execute each and every family that'd allied against him. There weren't enough nobles left in the loyalist faction to actually manage Albion, and he couldn't raise new nobles due to the law of Brimir, where magic makes might and legitimacy.

There's also the risk of an invasion by another country due to their weakened state, he needed to gather as many people under his banner as possible, meaning he couldn't simply execute all traitors...

With this Nobles' actions here today, he could extend a hand of mercy and make it known that he would treat any who submit to him justly and with a great amount of lenience.

Prince Wales struggles to stand straight and retrieves a sword from one of the loyalists, "Reveal yourself, your crimes. Submit to me and the true country of Albion, and we will see if you can seek forgiveness." he states neutrally, and the stranger nods while lowering his hood.

"YOU!" Michael immediately shouts, pointing at the now revealed Baron Jargkon, "You have the balls to show your face to me!?" he exclaims, drawing his sword which causes everyone else to ready their own weapons.

Prince Wales frowns and looks between Michael and the Baron, "Explain yourselves."

Michael growls, "This sick fuck forced me to murder innocent people while Cromwell was controlling me! Men, women, and children! And he did it with a fucking shit-eating grin on his fat face!"

Baron Jargkon raises his hands and shakes his head, "And I apologize tremendously for that! If it wouldn't destroy my family, I would cut my throat here and now as penetrance! But you must know that I was forced into such actions by Cromwell! He disliked my attempts to peacefully quell a peasant revolt, and forced me to create entertainment for him!" he quickly retorts, and seems to be gaining sympathy from the loyalists. Agnes didn't seem to trust him, but her opinion mattered not in this situation.
