Chương 86: Tyran awakens
Emperor Tyran opened his eyes,staring at the top of his bed for a while before he turned to see the demon he percieved.
The moon's warm glow revealed a red haired silhouette clothed in white sat on his window lintel with one leg flexed and the other stretched out.
He turned and his Scarlet eyes locked with the emperor's.
"You slept for three nights,the spell was not expected to take that long...it appears you were in shock and had no desire to awaken...How are you feeling?"Ren said.
Tyran didn't answer,he held his throbbing head and gripped the sheets tightly with the other hand.
He remembered everything,how he had gone crazy days ago and the news that struck him out of control.
Ren appeared before him and stretched out the hand he had caught the arrow with, showing him the scar it left.
"I caught an a poisoned caught arrow Dark shot at your knight with this hand...and King Maxmillian was stabbed with a sword dipped in the same poison,he is still sits in a bad condition requesting no other healer to tend to him other than yourself...it seems he's worried about you".
Tyran stared at the general who withdrew his hand and turned towards the window.
He had never spoken at length to him before.
Ren's eyes had huge eye bags from lack of sleep on a pale expressionless face.
He never cared about anyone but he had been out looking for Gerald and had been injured for his sake.
"How long have you been up...three nights?"Tyran asked not expecting an answer.
Ren peered at him from behind and nodded.
"I must thank you for stopping me and staying by my side... and also your efforts to find him,I know you will not tell me anything but my gratitude goes to you all the same".
Tyran watched him for a moment wondering if he should spill out the next words on his mind,an action he knew the general would object to immediately.
As emperor he had never thought of hugging someone but the gratitude he felt compelled him to do so and right now he needed it more than ever.
"Can I hug yo_"
"No!"Ren snapped before he could finish.
The general turned to him with a piercing gaze.
"I have somewhere to be,Stay alert... always".
"Why did Dark want him dea_"Tyran paused,Ren had vanished from sight.
Tyran sighed and sat up straight before going over to his wardrobe.
He drapped a black clothing on him then put on its black belt designed with multiple sliver coloured dragon head embroidery to match before taking out a matching head band and putting on his shoes.
At one of the worst moment of his life,his friend desired seeing him,a period he craved just sleep and liquor to ease himself off the sadness he felt.
He blamed himself for Gerald's death,had there been no hunt,his Knight would still be alive but there was nothing he could do, nothing except trying to protect and save the living.
Tyran watched his reflection in the mirror for a while, envisioning Gerald standing next to him.
The Poor young Knight,he missed him,as much as he missed his wife.
Deep down he knew their deaths were connected to the Imperial prince.They had killed him because of something he knew, something he had wanted to tell him but never got the chance to.
He wished he knew who the missing pieces where other than Dark and Zero who had delivered him a fake corpse written later.
Had King Maxmillian not handed him the original letter before hand,he would have believed it was one written by Fiona because it had her hand writing.
Leblos explained everything,Dark had used Fiona's corpse to write the second letter in attempt to fool him.
They had killed her and messed with her corpse and now his knight at that he swore a fate to them far worse than death.
Tyran reappeared in King Maxmillian's room and Queen Aries stood to greet him.
He stared down at king Maxmillian's face was pale with chapped lips.
"Why did he refuse the healers?".
"Your imperial majesty,he was worried about you and wanted to see you... anytime he wakes up,he requests seeing you and even screams your name in his sleep".
Emperor Tyran touched his forehead and retracted his hand immediately as if scaled from the heat.
King Maxmillian opened his eyes and stared at Tyran whose gaze was fixed on the injury on his shoulder.
"How could you let that cursed sorcerer stab you?"
"The sorcerer has...gotten stronger,he can now use necromancy as_"King max hoarse voice was interrupted by a loud cough,productive of bloody sputum.
"Stay still".Tyran said placing a hand on the injury which glowed with a blue light.
"We will talk when you are better"
King Maxmillian watched Tyran's face closely as he healed him.
The pain and guilt he felt was evident from his sad facial expression and it gladened him the more.
Eversince he got back he longed for his spirit being uplifted,the peak of his joy that only Tyran's sorried expression could satisfy.
King Maxmillian faked a loud groan to stop himself from smiling.
"Stay still"Tyran ordered,"The poison will leave through your mouth now".
King max lay still and opened his mouth, letting the poison out,a velvet coloured liquid curved into a ball by the emperor who controlled it, delivering it into a container queen Aries held.
Tyran stared at the King who had fallen unconscious afterwards before turning to queen Aries.
"He will awaken in few hours time,I got most of the poison out,the residual in his blood will be neutralized by medicine from the healers...For now,he is not to see me until I send for him"Tyran said before approaching the door.
**************** †****************
"What hand did you play in the emperor's Knight death?"Ren barked at king Parlu.
The king sat upright in bed staring at the general who had just appeared out of nowhere.
Terrified by a demon everyone feared,who had never spoken to him before and now stood in his room,King Parlu tried to hide his fear,he was king afterall.
"I do not know what you speak of."
Rengyotsu reappeared Infront of him and pulled him by the collar of his night wear before striking him a piercing gaze,his brows furrowed.
"Oh great King!..if I ever find out you are part of this,I swear..I will kill you and serve your head in a plate to your house hold".
"How dare you barge in here and threa..ten me gen...eral,you have no fear_".
Ren smirked exposing his canine fangs.
"You are very correct...I_have_no fear!".
He vanished leaving the King's heart pounding in fear.
