408 You Will Tell Me Everything You Know
"What did you just say?" Tania said with her gaze on her brother, she couldn't believe what she had just heard yet both of her eyes were twitching as she felt some kind of shock pass through her whole body.
After telling her about what had happened last night, Jude just couldn't bring himself to look his sister in the face.
"Calm down, Tania, we're trying to get things under control at the moment," Layla said.
"Trying to get things under control?" Tania expressed with a heavy voice before turning her gaze to the female Lieutenant. "They could possibly be dead by now, you were the ones who told me about how he brutally murdered Matilda's master in front of everyone, what makes you think that he is going to spare them?"
After saying that, she made her way straight to the door and left through it without bothering to close it, although the door did close by itself as soon as she was gone.
Layla tried to stop her but Bryan raised his hand in front of his colleague to stop her from taking any step forward.
"I told you to keep this information away from her for now." The female Lieutenant said after walking closer to the young knight.
"Then what was I supposed to tell her? That her parents made it here safe and sound, how will I be able to explain that to her when the time comes?" The young knight expressed.
"You should have at least thought of something while we try to figure out how to deal with this problem," Layla said.
"If you knew how to handle it then why didn't you just deal with it from the start!" The young knight could no longer hold down the feeling boiling up inside of him and that resulted in him yelling at Layla.
"Hey, hey, hey, I don't think this is the right time for us to start shouting, we have something urgent to deal with, right?" Tuchel stepped in the middle of the two to stop things from going overboard.
There was a little moment of silence in the room before Jude slowly raised his gaze to look at the Lieutenant again.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you." He said before he slowly began to walk to the door. "I'll be up at the stands." He said before leaving through the door.
Layla stared at the door for a while before she slowly turned her gaze to Bryan who had been quiet so far along with Tauriel.
"I think I need to go let Michael know about this." She said.
Bryan responded which she responded to with a nod before quickly making her way out of the room.

The tournament events for the day were about to kick off and that meant that the stadium was slowly getting filled up by the students especially.
Luis was approaching the stadium now with Ace and Dylan walking beside him.
Today, nobody showed up to pester him until he entered the stadium with his teammates, he was really expecting a certain someone to show up.
He wouldn't have gone straight into the stadium if Mason was still around trying to get his revenge on him but now that he had been taken care of by Nova, he didn't have to worry about the safety of his friends anymore.
"The last event for today will be the archery competition and after that, the main event will kick off tomorrow," Ace said as they made their way up the stands. "That's the part of this tournament that I am really hyped up for."
"So, you weren't hyped up for the disc competition yesterday," Luis said.
"You know I was hyped up for it especially when you were called up to represent Crockel academy, I didn't get to watch the good parts because I had to go find Dylan, the disc competition was okay but the main event is the best and you know why." He expressed.
"Why?" Luis asked, pretending to be oblivious to what his roommate was talking about.
"Seriously? Fine let me spell it out for you, it's because it involves fighting, we get to witness the students from the other academies in action, that's why it's saved for last, everybody is hyped up for it and I know you're hyped up for it too."
"Yeah, you're right," Luis said.
"I knew it."
"It will be really nice to see the strong students from the other academies in action, see what type of special abilities they have, how they use it in fighting, and maybe measure how strong they are compared to me." The Angel expressed.
The roommates got to the area where they sat yesterday to see that Tania and Chloe were already there but Tania wasn't looking good and as soon as she caught sight of Luis, she quickly put her head down.
"The man with no balls is here with his friends," Chloe said with her gaze on Ace.
Ace didn't reply immediately as he slowly turned back to check if anyone was standing behind him.
"What are you looking at, I'm talking to you." She said.
"Me? Seriously, why are you calling me that now?"
"It's not me doing, it's what my dad called you as soon as you ran off." She said,
"It's not like that, I had to go take care of something important," Ace said.
"Yeah, we know." She said before crossing her arms.
Ace stared at her for a while and let out a sigh before he sat down on the seat beside her.
"At least he called me a man just like you did now."
"Don't get ahead of yourself."
Ace may not have noticed anything wrong with Tania maybe because he didn't even look toward her but Luis had noticed it immediately and now he was sitting beside her while she still had her head down.
"Tania." He called after putting his head down and moving it closer to her but there was no response from her so he called her name again.
'If only I had unlocked telepathy, it would be way more convenient to get inside her head and talk to her there.' He thought.
After calling her for the third time and not getting any response, the Angel had to tap her on the shoulder.
"Hey, what's going on? You know I can use my ability to read your mind and find out why you're like this but I just want to hear it from you." He muttered.
"Just go ahead and use your ability, you'll get the full details that way anyway." Her voice was shaky and heavy, a sign that she had been sobbing.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay,"
[ Mind read activated ]
With his ability, the Angel was able to get the details of the exact thing she was thinking of at that moment and after getting all the details off her mind, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
"This is bad." He muttered with a shocked expression on her face.
'Really bad.' Lena said.

The sky above Asaka was still red with the dark portal still active, the people in the kingdom were restless, they all felt like it would start raining blood soon and they weren't wrong to feel that way.
Deep into the isolated prison room in the palace, four lamps were hanging over the four corners of the room to light up the room but the light wasn't for Roy, it was for the Blackstone couple to see what he was about to do.
There were supposed to be three people inside the prison cell but the only ones in there were Felix and Maya Blackstone and that was because Matilda was outside the cell kneeling on the floor with Roy pulling her hair and forcing out excruciating moans from her.
"I made it clear that nobody was supposed to leave the kingdom and yet the three of you attempted to leave, you weren't just leaving the kingdom, you were going to another world." He said before pulling harder on Matilda's hair to force out a scream from her this time. "Maybe it's because I forgot to include the punishment for going against my orders."
"And what is that?" Matilda asked with her teeth gritted.
"Public execution and I'm going to do it myself, don't worry you'll be missing your heads soon." He said casually with an evil grin on his face.
Maya was holding on to her husband as her body shook violently, she was terrified while Felix was struggling to hold on to himself.
"You two are really lucky she decided to take all the tortures for you, you're so in love with the boy that you can't bear to watch his parents go through what you're going through now, how pitiful." He brought his face really close to hers to blow out those words. "It's all useless because you're all still going to die but before that, you're going to tell me everything that I need to know."
"You're wasting your time," Matilda muttered from her panting.
As soon as those words left her mouth, Roy grabbed her by her throat and pinned her against the word before stabbing a purple blade that had just formed in his hand into her right shoulder to force out an excruciatingly loud scream from her.
"You will tell me everything you know."
