Chapter 493 - 493 [Bonus chapter]

493 [Bonus chapter]

Under the dark clouds, a kid of three years old was crying as the fire was burning the palace despite the cold winds and frosty night.

“The land belongs to us, you blood suckers. We have given you a chance to leave but you did not take it. Now die!” The cold voice hit the ground and shook it again and again as the men and women with fire torches in their hands were coming towards the large stone palace that was red in color showing the irony.

The staff had already run away as if they knew it was going to come. Vampires were left to guard themselves. Though they were powerful, they were not immortal and greatly outnumbered and the humans and witches were confident that they would chase them away or better kill all of them.

They bared their fangs and attacked on them but guns were not developed at that time and with only swords, they were left to fight against so many that they knew they were going to lose.

“Even if we all die here, the lord and the prince must be saved!” announced a vampire with a sharp sword in his hands as he attacked the nearest witch who was whispering a spell.

He was able to kill her but her spell changed his sword into ashes and many witches lunged at him at once.

But before he could be killed, another vampire held the witches and pulled them away as if he was touching insects and it did not require any of the energy.

He pulled all of them away and threw them on the ground while the man fought with the last two and killed them with his bare hands.

Instead of thanking the vampire, his eyes filled with shock,

.....

“My lord, what are you doing here? You should run away with the young lord and the lady. We will handle these rebellions here.” he pleaded to the vampire, slightly pushing him in the corners when the vampire shook his head.

“My men need me and as a lord it is my duty to protect them not to hide behind them.” he announced as took out his sword and cut another two witches attacking on them.

“For now, as the knight of my son, it is your duty to go and protect them. Take Scarlet, Agatha, Diana, Rafael and Damien to a safe place. In the future Rafael and Diana have to save us and maintain our legacy. Their life is more important than us.” he announced as he pushed the knight away who sighed.

He wanted to argue further but he knew the danger would only lurk around for long if he kept wasting the time. So, with a deep sigh and clenched jaws, he left the war area and ran towards the palace.

Scarlet was already standing in the hall with a young Diana in her arms and holding Damien with another hand. When she saw her husband, she ran to him when he shook his head.

“We will never be able to win. It was a trap from the start. They had planned everything. We need to save the kids for our future.” he rubbed her shoulders when she nodded back with a sigh.

“Collect a few maids that could help you. I am going to escort the lady and the young lord. I will take all of you to a safe place until the war ends. You will protect them all with your life. Did you get it?” she nodded her head. Though fear filled them, her determination and loyalty was stronger “and if anything happened to me, I am sure you will take care of the kids better than me. Tell Diana that she was going to be the future lady, so she had many responsibilities and Damien would take my place, as the right hand and the loyal knight of Rafael.”

He whispered as he kissed her forehead when she closed her eyes and tears slipped out of her eyes.

He rubbed her cheeks softly before running towards the room of the lady. Due to his strong hearing power, he was able to hear the sound of clinking of swords before he opened the door and his eyes narrowed.

He kicked the door which was already weak and it broke easily. Agatha was already fighting with four human knights at once with Rafael standing on the bed and staring at his mother with worry.

He wanted to help but his mother had forbidden him and asked him to stay safe. That was the last command of his father before he went to join the war.

“My lady, I will handle them. My wife is waiting for you on the exit. You should go with the lord and meet her. She knew the way to the safe house.” he said as he took out the sword but the woman laughed as if she had heard the joke.

“Are you telling me to show my back to the enemy like a coward and run away Daniel?” her cold words were filled with bravery and arrogance, “and it is not my duty to take care of the kids but yours. Leave with Rafael, Scarlet would need a man with her to protect them on her way.” she pointed without a hint of hesitation as she kept attacking the men who found it hard to handle her even when they were four.

She had a strong aura around her that could scare anyone but Daniel was not convinced. He took out his sword and attacked the knights.

“If that is what you want, we will fight together and then leave together, my lady.” he was not going to leave without her when she smirked and welcomed his decision.

It only took them seconds to win against those four. She patted his back and then ran to her child and took him in her arms.

“Rafael, I know that you want to fight but remember, you will get your chance to teach a lesson to witches and humans who have betrayed us today. But for now, I want you to save yourself, alright?”
