"LOUIS!!"
Crown Prince Ren cried out, shifting all his weight onto the dangerous man, holding him down by the waist.
"Hold him down! Hold him down!"
Ron Graeme limped over with all his strength. Helping Louis pin the dangerous man down with great difficulties. That however proved difficult as the dangerous man was relentless with his struggles, making Ron Graeme cough more blood up in return.
"Quickly make him pass out!"
Ren shouted, scared for Ron Graeme's life, seeing his friend on the verge of passing out yet still holding on!
The man needed to pass out soon, otherwise, everyone won't be able to hold on!
Gritting his teeth as he put all his strength into strangling the guy, shifting both the man and his weight into the ground, pulling his neck down harshly.
'What can I do?'
Seeing everyone struggling to contain the man, her eyebrows wrinkled up together, forming a frown. Glancing over at Aeselak, she was also at her limits.
Her lips quiver, before moving forward towards the dangerous man step by step. Knowing they can't lose this chance of taking the man out, otherwise, the outcome will be everyone's nightmare. Furiously thinking of anything she could do to help!
But what can she do? She had no weapon. No nothing..
"HAHAHAHHA!!"
Laughing hysterically like an insane country bumpkin, the dangerous man fiercely spat, "SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN HOLD OUT! I WILL MAKE SURE NONE OF YOU DIE PEACEFULLY!"
Blood profusely spilling out of his crushed eye, drooling dripping out of his mouth, he made sure what he said would bring chills down their spine, to make the children give up!
'...Ah..'
As if the man's words were Aedelak's last straw, she bravely moved in front of the man. Standing before the top of both the dangerous man and Louis' head.
Hate.
'Is it possible to hate someone this much?'
Staring directly into the man's eyes, pupils dilating, at the same time tightening her hold on the twins.
This man.
She will never forget him for as long as she lived. So what if he disdained nobles? What did that have to do with her? Resentment and disgust were all she felt for this man who brought a peaceful day into hell. Kill Aeselak? Over her dead body.
Catching the venomous man's attention, he snickered, not caring that he was in a chokehold,
"... Noble girl. Did your esteemed parents not teach you that standing above a man's head at such an angle means inviting him to -? Look!" He eerily smiled as he shifted his eyes from her eyes to under her dress.
"I'll have - before you die….since you invited.."
"Wha… WHAT FOUL EXCRETION DID YOU JUST UTTER??!" (Ron Graeme)
"... You disgusting animal AND YOU! MOVE AWAY!"
Crown Prince Ren directed his disgust towards the man before shouting at Aeselak to move away! They didn't know how much longer they could hold him, so it was best if she just ran away!
"...Dog"
Gritting her teeth through humiliation, she raised her right leg up, hovering on his left eye where the emblem was struck.
Before the man could continue with his tasteless taunts, further shaming her for such a good view, all he saw was the girl's leg, in a slow-motion, going towards his injured eye. Realizing the impending danger, he struggled fiercely, swallowing back the words he wanted to say as the last thing he saw in his life was her sarcastic smile.
CRAACKKKK-
The emblem further penetrated into his eye socket, into his brains, dying an instant death. The emblem that symbolizes Ren being the Crown Prince, no longer being able to be seen from the outside.
Within less than a fraction of a second, the man was gone.
"...." (Louis)
"...." (Ren)
"..." (Ron)
"... Haa…" (Aedelak)
The area silenced up completely. For a good minute, everything stilled. No breaths, no struggles could be heard. No summer winds; even the sunlight dimmed.
Yet ruining the mood, Ron Graeme, grunted out in displeasure and disgust.
"Urghhhh"
The dangerous man was definitely dead, but just like lizards, his body was still convulsing.
"Louis!"
Aedelak couldn't hold it anymore! Passing the twins to Louis who was getting ready to stand up, yet was pushed back down by Aedelak with the Twins.
"....." (Louis)
"Aeselak!"
Catching sight, and running to the tree to grab a huge rock, she proceeded to run to her sister.
The man had since frozen in shock ever since the dangerous man was pinned down by the 3 boys. All he did was watch everything happen in an instant, forgetting about the runaway kid who went to get help.
"No…NO!"
In denial, he screamed! What was he supposed to do now that everyone had died? Surely he would be charged as the mastermind behind everything?!
"Why don't you just die!"
Holding a rock as big as her head, she slammed it down to the man's face! Unbothered by him being in a defenseless state.
Crackk-
"AHH!"
Screaming from pain, he clutched his face, bringing his whole body down towards the ground in a crawling position to defend his face.
He could tell his nose was definitely broken. But what can he do but defend? How can he run away from the palace now that everyone has died? He can't do anything!
"Die!"
Again! Kneeling down while lifting the rock up high, she slammed it down towards his head. Disgusted that he isn't even fighting back and just hiding!
But there was no way she was going to let him go! Whatever he gave her sister, must be given back!
Again!
Crack-
His fingers cracked from defending the back of his head. No longer being able to dodge the hit.
Again!!
Crack!-
Blood spilling out, into the ground, and into Aedelak's body.
AGAIN!!
He fainted, his whole body slamming into the ground.
'He can't handle this much?'
She thought, getting even angrier.
NOT ENOUGH!
Her neat fingernails cracked because of repeated impact. Lifting the boulder up, and repeatedly slamming him. She continued on, not stopping.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop her!"
With all his last strength, Ron Graeme shouted! They still needed to keep him alive to investigate if there was someone else behind them directing the kidnapping of the Crown Prince.
Hesitantly, the Crown Prince rushed over to Aedelak. Also understanding that they had to at least keep someone alive.
Reaching over to stop her with his hands, he froze in place the moment he saw her face covered up in blood. The look she had in her eyes was the exact replica of the dangerous man…
Gulping down his dried up mouth, he took a closer look.
She was... smiling?
