章節 131: 129: Shadows in the past - part 2

One second it was all calm, the next second a small gunshot sounded. The guard that had come with the opposition hit the ground as he intercepted the shot being made by a council member. Chaos broke out as soon as the body hit the ground.

"We came here in peace and this is what we get? We want retribution for this or the peace talk is over for real" the young leader of the opposition fumed externally but his inside was filled with glee. No one knew who had made the shot but the trajectory clearly put it as the royal fraction's fault.

Everyone looked panicked but the king had taken to kneeling in front of the hurt soldier and seemed to be pressing against the wound in the shoulder. The bleeding was bad but the soldier could still be saved.

"Someone, get a doctor in here. He's not dead" the king cried but his voice went unheard amongst the crowd of other shouts and fights. He had to strain his voice and things did not look to be going in his favor.
