“How was your relationship with Duke Aamora's daughter, Dik Boni?”
In order to ease the tension of his brother in preparation for war, Prince Brian invited him to speak on a topic that would relieve his tension, nothing else and no not, the theme of romance.
“Hmm. Everything is going well, Brian. Only, during my time at the academy, I rarely showed any achievements. I lost to the other brothers. That is why, I want to show my manhood to the woman I love by bringing a glorious war achievement by defeating the barbarians of the southern region.”
Prince Brian looks salute at the determination of his brother who for the sake of love, willing to endanger himself in the war. He should have just entered his first year in the imperial academy. However, he had ventured to plunge into his first battlefield.
As expected the best imperial disciple in his class thought, that was how Prince Brian thought of his beloved sister.
“Surely everything will be fine. Don't be so hasty. You are 14 years old, still very young. Your future is still very long. Just go step by step. I'm sure that's what your fiancee wants.”
“Hahahahahaha. Just like Cynthia. If it was Dik Cynthia, it would definitely be the same as Big Brother who was worried about me a lot. For the sake of Dik Cynthia, I will go home with a win.”
Prince Bonivetto said with determination. He held up his left hand, which was not holding the horse's reins tied to a golden ribbon.
“Oho. What is the ointment of Duke's daughter Aamora?”
At her brother's curious question, Prince Bonivetto laughed as he replied, “Hahahahaha. It looks clear, brother. This was given Dik Cynthia to me before going to war as my salvation talisman, he said. Dik Cythia is very attentive.
“More than that, how's the strategy, brother? Are we going to attack with a hammerhead formation or with a wheel formation?.”
But long waiting for Prince Brian's answer, Prince Brian has not yet let out his voice.
Confused by Prince Brian's sudden silence, Prince Bonivetto glanced at his older brother.
“Kakak?”
Prince Bonivetto's expression immediately paled. It was because her brother's entire body had frozen without a single soldier realizing it. Prince Brian died instantly in hypothermia.
Watching the sudden turn of the scenery, Prince Bonivetto just gaped agape. Due to his lack of experience in war, his heart was still fragile. He was not alert and also not ready to replace the role of Prince Brian gave orders to his 100,000 soldiers.
Not long after that, when Prince Bonivetto was still gaping agape, ice arrows were scattered to hit both the soldiers and their horses.
“No. No. gabe. What the hell is going on? Is this what we call war? This was different from the story of the teacher in the academy. No, war is scary.War is scary!!! I don't want to be here. I don't want to die!!! Aaaaakkkkhhh!”
In a time when the soldiers were in dire need of command, no one gave instructions to them in that chaotic situation. Not only were the princes frightened, the generals and platoon leaders seemed completely unprepared to give instructions.
They were just busy escaping to save themselves from the thousands of wild ice arrows that were lunging at them at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.
Even in that chaotic situation, Prince Bonivetto fell from his horse and then he had to feel the pain of being trampled dozens of horses until his body was crushed no longer shaped.
“Why? Why in a place like this. I don't want to die in a place like this. Why is my fate so unfortunate? Even I haven't had a chance to feel her name having sex.. Oh, Dik Cynthia..”.
Slowly, Prince Bonivetto began to lose consciousness.
“Before you think of your misfortune, do you not think of the fate of those you will kill in war? Without feeling sinful, you take the lives of other nations only for power and glory.”
Prince Bonivetto, who was about to close his eyes, suddenly regained consciousness after hearing the voice.
Prince Bonivetto is dying. If it were not internal protection which belonged to him, he would have long since died of being trampled by horses.
“Who are you?”
Slowly, the image of the man who said that to Prince Bonivetto began to appear. No, more than people, Prince Bonivetto was more like watching a monster before him.
“Monster..”.
Looking at the young man's eyes full of darkness as dark as the abyss, Prince Bonivetto was terrified. He could no longer hold back his fear until he peed in his pants. He decided to throw away all his pride.
“Please. I'm young. That's right, I'm still a kid. I was just told to do all this out of my will. If you let me go, I promise I will never again appear before the kingdom. I'll just live peacefully in a remote corner of the country. I will also give you all the information I know about the empire.”
“So please, save my life. It's pointless, isn't it, killing kids? That will only cause you to be judged a coward.”
The 14-year-old Prince Bonivetto had completely humbled himself to forget the fact that he was the best student in the imperial academy. He was without hestitation intent on betraying his own country for the safety of his life.
However, the monster, no, Helios de Meglovia looked at Prince Bonivetto with a contemptuous look. He felt disgust towards every imperial minion.
“Child crocodile even though kept by a fish, if large will only be a predator that prey on the fish. That's how you are the descendants of the emperor's family. So, before you could sharpen your fangs.. Goodbye!”.
“No!!! Please Sir. Let me live! I'm still a kid. Aaaaaakkkkhhh!”
Prince Bonivetto's neck was scratched and he breathed his last following the death of Prince Brian and other imperial soldiers.
Helios forgave every rebellious noble child she had met before for thinking that they still had a chance to improve themselves since they had not been tarnished by the evil of their parents.
It was different with Prince Bonivetto. He smelled of blood. He's killed people before.
Helios decides that Prince Bonivetto is guilty since he will never be able to bring back the lives of all the innocent people he killed.
“Why? Why is this anger not gone yet even though I have killed everyone that caused Brother's death!!!”
Helios cried out in despair amid the tens of thousands of corpses that were strewn around him.
“No, this annoying taste has not disappeared since not everything, right? The mastermind of all of them still sits nicely on the imperial throne.”
Helios's eyes glowed dark. He actually gave off an extremely powerful killing aura. But instantly, from those dark shining eyes came tears.
“No. Even if I kill them all. Brother still will not be able to return alive.”
The young man was immediately struck by despair since he could no longer find the object to vent his revenge.
He wanted to continue his journey straight to the Vlonhard Empire in order to kill the emperor Vlonhard on his throne. However, Helios was human. After not eating and drinking for 7 days and 6 nights, she finally felt a stinging hunger and thirst.
He also stopped at a well located on the northern border of the Kingdom of Cabalcus to fill his stomach at least with drinking water.
But then there, he again met someone he did not expect. Apparently there are still descendants of the Cabalcus royal family besides the two children and a baby he left alive. He was Stephanus de Cabalcus, the second prince of the Kingdom of Cabalcus.
No, there's another guy with him, Cabalcus Kingdom strategist Roggie fin Bayotte.
They were currently being seen with the refugee entourage of the members of the imperial sacred temple.
“There are still rats that escaped my sight apparently.”
Helios advanced with killing intent towards them.
But then, Prince Stephanus gallantly stood in front to block the move of the Prince of Helios.
“These refugees have nothing to do with royal treason. If you intend to avenge you on the royal priesthood, it should be enough of my life that you are seeking. Sister Roggie, please take the refugees away from here.”.
Prince Stephanus said without the slightest hesitation behind his eyes.
