Chapter 130 Disaster

"My queen, how did that hole appear on our wall? What happened here while I was absent?"

Zenda was bothered by how silent their normally loud and funny queen was, if something like this happened in past, Zenda knew she would trouble her all day making it a living hell for her, but now Tisha sat on the elevated chair with a silent glimpse.

She could guess who was the reason for this, but before she could question her again, Zenda heard the voice of Nikol.

"I did that, sorry,"

Zenda went silent as soon as she heard those words. Others started to wonder how he did that because this was supposed to be the heavenly wall given to them by the goddess so breaking it was an almost impossible task unless you were the son of that goddess.

And they realised he might be the only person, that can do some damage like that.

"Nikol, it's fine, we can discuss about things," Tisha quickly got up from her seat seeing that he wasn't angry anymore, so she decided to take advantage of it and be friendly with him again.

"We have nothing to discuss," He looked at everyone in the room and averted his eyes.

Usha, Eva and all the other girls were also present in that room, so it was rather convenient for him to announce what he wanted to say.

"I'm going to fight, if you want you can join me, if not stay here and watch the gate," After announcing that he tried to leave, but Lydia quickly blocked his way without letting him leave the room.

"Nikol, we know what we did was wrong but, don't punish yourself like this, you can't fight them all alone,"

Her voice had a simple requesting tone and desperation. She didn't want to see another disaster like this happening, so she decided to stop him from leaving, but even before she could continue, she heard the voice of Alva which confused her even more.

"Nikol, I'm coming with you, I believe you this time, all of this happened because we didn't believe in you and your power, so I will join you this time,"

This was the last thing Lydia wanted to see right now. She felt how a wall was slowly building among them, dividing their alliance into two factions. In this dire situation, such a thing cannot be afforded, so she wanted to convince Nikol.

"We can't do this, our girls are almost exhausted and some of them are on their deathbeds, and our food provisions are not that great," Lydia used her brain to the full capacity to think about a solution.

"If we fight now, we will be wiped out, Nikol, you're the one who told me it's wise to back down at the right moment, so don't go Nikol,"

Nikol kept looking at her with his eyes while focusing on her words. He looked at everyone else in the room except Alva and Emily who shared the same sentiment as him.

"Don't get me wrong, I never requested anyone to come along; I simply stated, If you like, you can come. If not, I'm going alone." Lydia was stunned by the sheer rudeness of Nikol's comments, which revealed how little he cared about her proposal.

"Is that so?" Lydia went back to her seat with a defeated and saddened look.

Eva, who witnessed all this couldn't take it anymore as she started to scold Nikol for his stubbornness while holding her injured hand hanging on a tight bandage.

"Nikol, don't be a stubborn brat, get back here and listen to us, we are telling this for your sake," Her words were just as rude as Nokol's words, but she didn't know how big of a mistake she made.

"My sake? Did I ask any of you to care about me? No right, so why are acting like you all are my parents or something,"

Nikol lashed back at her with his hand gripping like he was about to attack her. Emily quickly jumped in case, he attacked Eva, but he quickly went back to normal and looked at everyone.

"Just because all of you were manipulated by a little insect, should I forgive all of you for betraying my trust?" Nikol questioned everyone in the room including Alva, who was the one most affected by his words because she thought as long as she can be by Nikol's side, she will be forgiven.

"Sorry, but I'm not a white knight to tolerate every single thing you do," Leaving those words with the group of girls, he left the room while Alva and Emily both followed her with the same disappointed face.

Even though others didn't know what white knight meant, they understood that it should be slang and started discussing among themselves what their future plans are.

But Usha, who was the centre of attention after her pregnancy announcement didn't say anything as she just left the room without talking to anyone.

"What do we do now, sister?" Lydia questioned Eva, who was shocked by how Nikol tried to attack her. She never expected such a reaction from him, so this confirmed to her that Nikol she knew, that kind boy who always took care of her is nowhere to be found.

"Lydia, it looks like we created a monster, a real one," Uncertain about their future, Eva looked at Zenda and Tisha hoping they would at least have something to say, but both of them remained in their own seats with a depressed look no different than others, which sealed the hope of any help from them.

***

Eldora observed everything around her with anger and her eyes didn't leave a single corpse unchecked. She didn't let any other dark elf touch any corpse as she wanted to see all of them by herself.

"So all of them are my girls, and these humans and elves, such a waste of life," For some reason, unlike other dark elves she didn't look at the dead humans and elves with despise and anger, instead she had pity.

"Innocent souls that believe in that shitty goddess, it's not your fault, if that bitch didn't abandon you, none of this would have happened,"

She closed the eyes of every corpse, going from one to another and made sure they were resting in peace. and looked at her guard next to her with angry eyes and questioned,

"Do you see this? all this because of that goddess, what do you feel seeing all this?" Even though Eldora questioned her guard, she got no answers. which was the obvious thing as she was just another puppet created by Eldora herself. To be exact, the first transformation, the first cursed doll.

"Once we are dead, we all are the same, this is the disappointing reality, we fight and kill each other, this is stupid," Saying those words, she looked at the sky.

"Stupid but let's just struggle while we are alive,"

She didn't leave the previous battleground until, she gave a proper burial to all her soldiers and enemy soldiers which confused other dark elves, but as the reason she just said, Eldora didn't want to attract other monsters but deep down, she knew it wasn't anything like that.

'Elven kingdom is a tricky place, I tried attacking them before I attacked humans but it is almost impossible to break their wall'

She didn't want any more useless casualties so, she decided to use her ultimate weapon for this war.

"Looks like it's your shining time, number one, go and rescue us from that cruel goddess," Eldora ordered looking at her guard.

Nobody in the dark elf kingdom knew who she was, as Eldroa suddenly appointed her as her official guard suddenly out of nowhere and her origin remained a mystery.

There was a rumour that she was even more powerful than three cursed duchesses and nobody knew the authenticity of that information, but seeing their powerful queen relying on her, they had to assume that, this puppet is more or equally powerful as Eldora. The thought of someone powerful helping them relieved them but at the same time, they were jealous of her position.

"Others, start building up our monsters and get ready to invade as soon as number one breaks the wall," Giving her orders Eldora went back to her hut and asked everyone to proceed with preparation to attack the wall.

When visiting outside, Eldora always wore a Venetian mask to hide the scar because that was the most embarrassing as well as the most humiliating thing for her.

Even though she was a cruel woman, who can mercilessly kill parents and kids together, she valued her beauty. So the scar she got when she first attacked the human kingdom remained a black mark in her life until the present day.

It haunted her life to the present day when she sees her reflection with that scar on her face.

"Number one, you're my only hope now, please don't let down me, I don't want to kneel beside that selfish goddess,"

Thinking about how they are going to attack the wall and forming new plans, Eldora also wore her armour and got ready for the fight that is about to happen, which will decide the fate of her race.
