Chapter 256 She is the Chosen One 1
(This chapter will be written in a third person view)
When Jennovia’s guards with Queen Patricia and Prince Gladiolus arrived, what they saw was a scene of sadness. The crown prince’s concubine Elizabeth was lifeless. Her body was being cradled in Alicia’s arms, with three arrows protruding. Alicia’s face was pale in anguish and sorrow. Her face was stained with tears while new tears were still flowing from her eyes.
Gladiolus was shocked by this scene. He never wanted any harm to befall his concubine, especially Alicia who was his wife to be.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?!" Gladiolus shouted in rage.
"C-Crown prince..." The leader of the palace guards on the scene stuttered. "W-We were trying to catch the enemy and..." The guard trailed.
"Catch the enemy?!" Gladiolus shouted. "You fired arrows onto them! My wife to be was with them, and now I see my concubine’s body filled with arrows."
The guards around kneeled when they saw Gladiolus’ rage in display. "F-Forgive us your highness." The guards said in unison. They were shivering in fright.
"W-We didn’t know that the royal wife and concubine were at the vicinity." The leader of the palace guards was scared to his wits.
"Unforgivable." Gladiolus said this one word and took a sword from a nearby guard and pierced it to the leader of the palace guards that was kneeling before him. "How can you lead the palace guards if you are this incompetent?"
"Gh...ghuah." The leader of the palace guards coughed up blood and soon dropped down the floor dead.
"Your incompetence resulted to the death of my concubine. The just punishment for you is death." Gladiolus looked at the lifeless body of the palace guard with an ice gold gaze. He trampled on the lifeless body full of rage.
"That is enough Gladiolus. What’s done is done." Queen Patricia said. She looked at the lifeless body of Elizabeth. "Tsk. This will become a problem."
Elizabeth was sent to Jennovia in a political marriage for the purpose of uniting the royal families of Jennovia and Alvannia. This allowed Jennovia to borrow Alvannia’s army for the purpose of fighting and winning this war. If the king of Alvannia knew that his daughter is dead by Jennovian hands, she was afraid that he would withdraw the army that he lent to the crown prince.
"High Priest Hector, you know what to do." Queen Patricia looked at the high priest beside her.
"Of course your majesty. Leave it to me." High Priest Hector bowed with the queen’s words.
Not far from where they were standing, Alicia saw the arrival of her aunt and Gladiolus with Jennovian palace guards. Seeing them made her blood boil from the inside. She can feel anger and hate just by seeing them at a distance.
"Alicia..." Jack called out to her. "Alicia, we have to go. It’s not safe here." He said worriedly.
Jack saw something happening with Alicia. She was gazing towards the queen’s direction and her eyes were filled with anger and hate.
’This is not the time for this.’ Jack thought. ’I will carry you if I have to.’
Jack put his arm on Alicia’s shoulders but he felt electrocuted after the touch.
"Ahh... what the..." Jack was surprised with the feeling and looked at Alicia in shock. She was glowing in white light. "Oh sh*t!"
Jack knew what happened in Alvannia on the engagement parade. He knew how strong Alicia’s powers were. He saw wind was gathering all around them and just after thinking of running a huge force threw him away.
*SWISH*
The sound of a strong wind was heard and everything around Alicia was sent flying away with a strong force. Guards in the near vicinity shouted when they were flown away by the force.
When the wind dissipated, the people around stood up after having their bodies beat up by the force.
"Ugh... that hurt." Jack stood up feeling body aches. He stood up with a pile of some debris on top of him. He looked where the blast has left him. "Oh no, I am a little far off."
Jack was standing outside of the palace wall that was now broken because of the explosion and also because of Alicia’s magical outburst. He saw Alicia was still there, sitting on the floor holding Elizabeth’s lifeless body. Everything around her was in rubles and there was a small force field around her glowing.
"F*ck, this is not good." Jack tried to take a step and felt pain on his ribs. "Sh*t, I think I have broken some ribs."
Jack tried to walk slowly, holding his ribs that were in pain. He knew that he should stop Alicia somehow or this place will decimate with her outburst.
"W-What just happened?" Queen Patricia was still standing where she was. Her son Gladiolus was hugging her with one arm while the other was maintaining a force filed like shield.
Gladiolus looked at a distance with a shocked face.
"What is it son?" Queen Patricia followed her son’s gaze and saw the whirling force field enveloping Alicia. She was surprised with what she was seeing.
"Mother, what is happening to Alicia?" Gladiolus asked his face full of confusion. But his mother was surprised with her mouth agape. "Mother!" Gladiolus said again with more force this time.
Queen Patricia was woken up with her son’s call. "T-This... this I am afraid, is her magical power." She clenched her fists feeling irritated with what she was seeing.
"Such powerful magic..." Gladiolus said and looked at Alicia.
Queen Patricia knew after seeing this white light enveloping Alicia. All Atlantians have auras with different colors. It distinguishes their strong magical affinity to nature. There was green, blue, red, yellow, and brown. Only one person has a white aura, and that was the Almighty One himself.
Queen Patricia was in a rage seeing that his son was not the one to fulfill the prophecy that was foretold. The power she was craving for was not going to her or her son but to the half blood daughter of her sister. She was the chosen one.
"KILL HER!" The queen ordered her men. "Kill her or all of us will die!"
"What are you doing mother? NO!" Gladiolus shouted in anger on his mother.
The guards around didn’t know what to do. The queen ordered for the princess to be killed while the crown prince ordered to not to.
"What are you waiting for?! I am your queen." Queen Patricia looked at her men in rage. "Do as I say!"
The guards with bows readied their weapon and aimed their arrows on Alicia.
"NO!" Gladiolus let go of his mother and tried to stop the guards from shooting. His face was full of fear.

Chapter 257 She is the Chosen One 2
The guards around didn’t know what to do. The queen ordered for the princess to be killed while the crown prince ordered to not to.
"What are you waiting for?! I am your queen." Queen Patricia looked at her men in rage. "Do as I say!"
The guards with bows readied their weapon and aimed their arrows on Alicia.
"NO!" Gladiolus let go of his mother and tried to stop the guards from shooting. His face was full of fear.
But Gladiolus was too late. The arrow flew into the night sky and was heading to Alicia. He held his breath preparing for the worst but then the arrows disintegrated when it touched the force field around Alicia. Gladiolus’ face eased up some tension and he released a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing mother?!" Gladiolus turned around and looked at his mother. He cannot hide the anger on his face.
"She... she will steal everything that should be yours. She must die!" Queen Patricia yelled.
Gladiolus’ face was etched with anger and confusion. "I do not understand what you are talking about. Alicia is the live of my life, if there is something that she will steal from me then I will gladly give it to her whole heartedly."
"You don’t understand..." Queen Patricia was trying to find the words to explain to her son.
The queen had always thought that the chosen one in the prophecy would be her son. Gladiolus is the last Atlantian left with pure royal blood and the only male descendant of the All Mighty One that is left in this world. She never would have thought that her niece who was only a half blooded royal and a female at that, be the chosen one.
’I might be mistaken." Queen Patricia thought to herself.
But looking at the white light engulfing Alicia with her own eyes, she can’t dissuade herself in thinking that the chosen one is none other than Alicia. She felt bitter inside, she can’t but felt robbed of the position.
’No, this can still be corrected.’ Queen Patricia thought. ’That girl hasn’t awoken her magical powers yet. If I kill her here and also other potential candidates, then that only leaves my son Gladiolus which would inherit the power.
"Kill her... you have to kill her no matter what it takes!" Queen Patricia ordered her men.
"No, stop this mother." Gladiolus was now pleading in front of his mother. "Please don’t do this mother. Don’t kill the one I love."
The guards started to fire arrows towards Alicia continuously but every arrow cannot pass the force field and just disintegrates to dust.
"You are not in your right mind son." Queen Patricia said. "She is now a threat to your throne. She cannot be left alive."
"It is you who is not in the right mind, mother!" Gladiolus yelled at his mother.
Queen Patricia was surprised and taken aback with Gladiolus. This was the first time her son shouted back at her. Her face was so distraught.
"I don’t know what you are thinking but if you hurt her, I will never forgive you!" Gladiolus said full of emotion. He ran towards where Alicia was taking the sword he has taken from a guard.
"Gladiolus stop! where are you going?" Queen Patricia was full of fright when she saw her son ran where arrows was raining down. "Stop... don’t go there, Gladiolus!"
The queen was about to follow her son when High Priest Hector held her firmly to stop her.
"Your majesty, you can’t." High Priest Hector said. "You can get hurt."
"Then stop him, stop my son!" Queen Patricia said.
"This was his choice your majesty." High Priest Hector said. "If you want to keep him safe, then let the guards stop attacking the princess."
Queen Patricia grimaced with what the high priest advised. She wants to kill Alicia as soon as possible because she was the chosen one. If only she was able to get Alicia to her side then she wouldn’t have thought to kill her. But after two years of living here in Jennovia, she still has her heart set with the king of Grandcrest. She is a traitor that needs to die.
Gladiolus on the other hand was volleying the arrows that were coming Alicia’s way. He doesn’t know how long the force field would last and he doesn’t want to take any chances of arrows coming inside the force field and hitting Alicia. He was able to volley the arrows but some of them grazed his body in the process.
"Stop firing!" Queen Patricia ordered when she saw her son full of grazes while trying to protect Alicia.
The guards listened to the Queen’s orders and stopped firing. Gladiolus still stood his ground, not yet sure if his mother will still do anything after ordering the guards to stop.
"Gladiolus, my son. I won’t kill her, just come back here where it’s safe." Queen Patricia said with heartfelt please.
"Let the guards fall back first." Gladiolus said, still doubting his mother.
"If that is what you wish." Queen Patricia nodded. "Fall back." She ordered the guards around.
The guards listened to the queen’s order and retreated. When Gladiolus saw this he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Come now my son." Queen Patricia said sweetly to Gladiolus.
Seeing that his mother has come back to her senses, Gladiolus slowly walked back to where his mother was.
"Thank you mother." Gladiolus said once he was just near her.
"You know that you are everything to me my son." Queen Patricia looked at her son livingly. "You are all that is left of your father top me. I will do everything in my power to give to you what is rightfully yours."
Queen Patricia caressed her son’s cheek lovingly and smiled to him sweetly. But deep inside Gladiolus, his mother’s words was suspicious. He can’t erase the doubt that his mother can still hurt the one he loves.
"Just stand here and I will erase the existence that threatens your destiny my son." Queen Patricia’s sweet smile warped into a cold sneer. Gladiolus cannot believe his mother’s sudden change of personality.
"No...don’t to this mother." Gladiolus said. He tried to move and stop his mother but he was pinned down in place. "No, why can’t I move?"
Gladiolus looked at his mother suspiciously and knew that this was his mother’s gravity magic.
"Mother, let me go.... don’t do this." Gladiolus tried to escape but he can’t even move a muscle. His pleas were sent to deaf ears and the queen stepped forward.
From nowhere, Queen Patricia was holding a bow and arrow in her hands and pointed where Alicia was. The arrow glowed with a dark purple hue while the queen aimed for Alicia.
"No, mother please don’t..." Gladiolus was now shedding tears, pleading for his mother. He tried to move but still was unsuccessful.
*Shwung*
Queen Patricia released the arrow with her gravity magic and the sound that came with it resounded in the area. It passed thru Alicia’s force field and the arrow struck Alicia’s shoulders. Blood trickled from the wound where the arrow was sticking and the force field was simmering.
"NO!!!...." Gladiolus screamed in agony. It was as if he was also struck with the arrow. "Stop it... MOTHER!"
"It has been a while since I practiced archery." Queen Patricia said and took another arrow and put in on her bow. "I won’t miss this one."
Alicia’s force field crumbled after sometime and the wound on her shoulder was bleeding. The queen pulled the bow and aimed at her again.
Alicia’s consciousness was starting to return. She can feel the excruciating pain on her shoulder. Her eyes were blurry at first but were now starting to get cleared by time. By then she saw Queen Patricia at a distance, aiming an arrow at her. By the time her eye sight became clear, the queen shot the arrow with gravity magic once more. She saw Gladiolus was screaming to his mother to stop, she can see he was pleading in agony.
’Is this the end?’ Alicia thought.
The arrow was heading straight to her heart.

Chapter 258 A Tearful Reunion 1
(Regaleons’ POV)
My men and I arrived at the location point Duke Matias have told us to wait. The sun had just set when William and a lady with Alicia’s looks arrived at the meeting area. This woman would be Alicia’s mother no doubt.
"Your majesty. Greetings to the sword and shield of the Grandcrest Empire." William kneeled before me gallantly.
"Rise Sir William." I said. "No need for formalities here."
We are currently in the enemy’s territory and are under disguise. Even though this location is remote, we still need to be careful. William stood up and presented the woman he was with.
"Your majesty, this lady is Princess Alicia’s mother." William said.
"Greetings to the king of the Grandcrest Empire." Alicia’s mother curtsied before me. "My name is Leticia Von Heist, your majesty. I am Alicia’s mother."
"It is nice to meet you Lady Leticia." I kissed the back of her hand with respect. "I am Regaleon Yosef Astley, your daughter’s fiancé."
Leticia giggled. "I have heard many things about you from my daughter." She said. "It is true that you are truly the looker. You are very handsome indeed."
I felt shy with Lady Leticia’s praise. "T-Thank you so much for the praise my lady." I said shyly.
"Please call me mother. You are my daughter’s most important person and I would like us to know each other more." Leticia smiled charmingly. Now I know where Alicia got her charming smile came from.
"Yes of course, mother in law." I smiled heartedly. "We will have much time to know each other after this. Please rest first while you wait. Our journey back will surely be tiring."
"Thank you, son in law." Mother in law smiled.
"Let me lead you to the tent we have made for resting." Dimitri who was beside me offered to lead mother in law.
I look at Dimitri lead my mother in law towards the tent and I sighed in relief. I never thought that meeting my mother in law will let my nerves tense. She looks a lot like Alicia. She is still young and for sure she was very beautiful when she was younger. I am sure that the king of Alvannia was love struck towards her like I was with Alicia. He was just foolish to choose power more than the woman he lives. If ever I was in the same position as him, I would abandon the throne for Alicia in a heartbeat with no questions asked. Alicia is more important to me than the throne, she was my life.
Not long now, Alicia will be here as well. I will be reunited with my love after two years. Many things happened these past two years. From being a crown prince, I have ascended the throne and become king. But before I took this position, there was a civil war in the empire of Grandcrest. I fought against my brothers and the factions supporting them. It was a bloody war but I triumphed in the end.
After ascending the throne, my first agenda was to get my fiancée Alicia back from Jennovia thus the war started. The war was just like a dance of advance and retreat. It prolonged for until now because of so many factors. But Grandcrest is already leading this was war and victory was close at hand. I know that we are not far from victory but I cannot wait to see my beloved and so here I am now to get her after their escape.
After some time has passed, I am becoming impatient in waiting. William, Dimitri and I were waiting while looking at the direction of the palace.
"How far is it from the palace to here?" I asked William after a while of waiting.
"By horse your majesty, it takes at least minutes." William replied.
The plan was Alicia will follow in the middle of the masquerade ball. Duke Matias’ daughter will take her place in disguise as her while she slips out of the ball room. Judging by the time now, the masquerade ball was near the middle. Alicia would be executing her escape by now.
"Do not worry your majesty." Dimitri said. "I am sure the princess will be fine. She is a brave young girl."
I nodded in agreement with Dimitri’s word. Alicia is an independent and strong woman. She is not like any woman that will be a damsel in distress if danger occurs. She would stand by my side and find rather than flee to safety.
I sighed with such thinking. ’If I can only chain her to me all the time, them I can guarantee her safety.’ I thought to myself.
But Alicia was a free spirit. She has been living inside the palace of Alvannia like a prisoner, stuffed away from the public’s eyes. After she had tasted freedom, her cheerful self appeared. She shined more if she was free and I wouldn’t want to hinder that freedom.
I looked at the direction of the Jennovian palace, waiting and longing for her arrival every minute. That was when I saw a flash of light that blinded me and the others.
"What was that?" I heard my men said in alarm.
I opened my eyes to look at the surroundings. The light was starting to wane and it came from the direction of the palace. My heart started to thump rapidly. I knew something went wrong.
*whistle*
After whistling, my horse Midnight came galloping and stopped before me. Without saying anything I climbed my horse and held the reigns. Dimitri did the same and called for his horse and climbed it, ready to depart with my order.
"Half of the men come with me while half stand guard here." I ordered.
The men heard my orders. Half of them scrambled to depart with me while half stood their ground to guard.
"I don’t have time to explain, just follow me to the palace now." I said while pulling the reigns towards the palace’s direction.
"I am coming with you your majesty." William was about to get his horse.
"No Sir William." I told him. "You need to stay here. Alicia entrusted her mother to you. You need to protect her." I said.
William has a face with contradiction. He knows something wrong happened back at the Jennovian palace and wants to go to Alicia but he has an important role given to him as well.
"Yes your majesty." William sighed and gave in. "I will ensure Lady Leticia’s safety." I nodded after hearing his decision.
"Be prepared to depart if we don’t get back after two hours." I ordered him and my men. "Keep mother in law safe, I will entrust her to you."
"Of course your majesty." William’s eyes were now filled with resolve.
The role that Alicia and I entrusted to him was great. He knew what he must do.
"Please, promise me that you and Alicia will come back here safely your majesty." William pleaded.
"Hmm." I nodded. "I promise."
I pulled Midnight’s reigns and started to rush towards the Jennovian palace.
’Alicia, wait for me. I am coming for you.’ I said inside my heart.

Chapter 259 A Tearful Reunion 2
(Regaleons’ POV)
My men and I galloped at a fast pace towards the Jennovian palace. The twenty minutes travel time by horse was shortened to between ten to fifteen minutes. The palace walls were seen by a distance.
’I am nearly there Alicia.’ I said inwardly.
My eyes were surveying the palace walls for an entrance. William had told us about a hidden passage way in the palace walls hidden with thick bushes. He has told me that the indicator was cypress trees lined in one side of the palace walls. I started to search for the cypress trees but what I caught was a collapsed portion of the wall.
"Your majesty, right there..." Dimitri pointed out the collapsed side.
"Yes I see it." I said.
From where we are right now, we can see a very huge collapsed side of the palace wall. Judging by the size, there must have been a huge explosion that could have destroyed such a tall and thick wall.
By that time I had a flashback from two years ago. It was the time when Alicia and I were to embark from the kingdom of Alvannia to the Grandcrest Empire. It was the time of our engagement parade when Prince Gladiolus and his men attacked us out of nowhere and endangered the residents of the Alvannian capital.
Fire was raging everywhere and I was fighting Gladiolus one on one when I was nearly defeated by him. That was the time when Alicia saw me about to be struck. She lost her control with her magical powers and it blew out, obliterating a part of the capital.
I came back to the present and thought that the damage to the wall is without a doubt Alicia’s doing. That light from a while ago was exactly similar that of from two years ago.
’Something might have happened to Alicia.’ I thought to myself.
Alicia won’t lose control of her magic power if there are no outside factors that could trigger a huge emotional reaction.
"Let’s head to that location in haste." I ordered my men.
"Yes." They all answered in unison.
We head towards the direction of the damaged palace walls. When we got nearer and nearer, we saw people in the vicinity. I saw Jack who was hunched on a broken statue looking injured. But then my eyes were drawn to a dome of light like a force field. At the center of the dome of light was Alicia whose back was facing me. I knew it was her in just one glance because of her long silver swaying. Arrows were raining down on her location. Luckily the force field was protecting her from the arrows that bombard her.
"Hyah!" I kicked Midnight to hasten the pace. I was afraid that my love would be in danger if I don’t get there in time.
By then, I saw from a distance Queen Patricia and Prince Gladiolus. The queen holding a bow and aiming an arrow embedded with magic. I can hear Gladiolus faint pleas for his mother to stop but to no avail. The queen let go of the arrow and was heading right for Alicia.
"NO!" I yelled with fright. I tried to use my fire magic to burn the flying arrow but it missed by a second.
I see the arrow hit Alicia’s shoulder, Red blood started to stain her white shirt. The force field that was surrounding her was disappeared in an instant.
*throb throb*
Seeing her hurt felt like my heart was in so much pain. I held my chest but still persisted to advance. Time seemed slow even when I quickened the pace towards her. By the time I got to her, I jumped from Midnight and held Alicia in my arms before she fell.
*swoosh*
The sound of another arrow flying was heard. I saw it immediately and was flying towards us. Now, all of my focus was on the arrow and burned it in mid flight. I had my guard still up for upcoming attacks when a black shadow surrounded us like a shield. It was Dimitri’s black magic at work.
Together with Dimitri, I saw Alicia’s familiar Snow. She was in her white tiger form. Tempest also flew down from the sky and transformed into his red phoenix form. They guarded us from the enemy right in front of us.
"Alicia, my love." I looked at her with worry and fright.
"L-Leon, is that you?" Alicia looked at me lazily. "Is this a dream?"
"No, this is not a dream." I said, trying to hold back my tears from falling. "I am here to get you."
I saw the arrow sticking on her left shoulder. Fortunately it was far away from internal organs, but the she was bleeding heavily.
"I-It really is you? I am happy to see you again, my love. You don’t know how I wished everyday to see you once again and be by your side." Alicia lifted her right hand slowly as if there was no strength left in her. I took her hand and pressed it on my lips.
"I as well have been yearning for you every single day my love." I said and forced a smile. "I am here now. I won’t let anyone take you away from me ever again." Alicia smiled with my words.
"L-Leon I... feel cold." Alicia said in a weak tone.
I held her hand with some force, feeling anger build up inside of me. "Don’t worry my love, I will keep you warm."
I looked at the arrow that was still lunged on her shoulder and held it from end to end. "My love, this will hurt a little, please bear with me."
I broke the other end of the arrow carefully. I see Alicia flinch with my action and my heart started to hurt as well.
"I will pull the arrow out my love." I told her and she nodded. I held the other end of the arrow and pulled it in one go.
"Ahhh..." Alicia shouted in pain once I pulled out the arrow from her shoulder. Blood was now flowing from her wound none stop.
I held the wound with my left hand and concentrated. Fortunately I have light magic and can heal her wound quickly. Light shone from my hand and to her wounded shoulder. It stopped bleeding and the wound slowly closed.
Once I was done healing her, she fell unconscious in my arms. I was startled at first but when I saw her breathing steadily, I sighed in relief.
Around us battle was ensuing. The queen’s guards where fighting my men that were outnumbered. And reinforcements are clearly on the way on the queen’s side. This was their turf after all.
"Don’t let her get away. Kill them, kill them all!" I heard Queen Patricia’s voice emitting in the battle field.
Anger and fury were now burning inside of me.
"Dimitri." I called out to him. "You can maintain your black magic while guarding Alicia?" I asked.
"Yes your majesty." Dimitri looked at me with confusion.
"Please take care of her for me." I said.
Dimitri took my place by Alicia’s side and looked up at me with a questioning gaze. I pulled out my sword out if its scarab.
"I will let that f*cking b*tch pay for what she did." I said with fury.
Queen Patricia had done so many things that brought my rage. I can feel the anger burning up inside of me. I can feel my chest literally in heat.

Chapter 260 The Fight Between a King and a Queen 1
(Regaleons’ POV)
"Please take care of her for me." I said to Dimitri.
Dimitri took my place by Alicia’s side and looked up at me with a questioning gaze. I pulled out my sword out if its scarab.
"I will let that f*cking b*tch pay for what she did." I said with fury.
Queen Patricia had done so many things that brought my rage. I can feel the anger burning up inside of me. I can feel my chest literally in heat.
I started to step forward where the battle is raging. My men were fighting the palace guards of the queen. They may be many in number, but my men are Atlantians that can use magic in a fight. My men were at an advantage in the battle, for now.
I looked at the Jennovian palace that was near here. I have heard that its walls are made with janetite rocks. With the distance from here, I thought we cannot use our magic abilities but for some reason we can.
’Was it because of Alicia’s outburst of her magic power?’ I thought to myself. But whatever the reason was, we can use our magic that can be an advantage.
But there were disadvantages as well. The queen can use her magic as well. She was using her magic to suppress my men that were standing on defense rather than offense.
"Secure our defensive line." I ordered. My men heard my call and saw me stepping in the battlefield.
When they saw me, their bravery shone I their eyes. Seeing their commander enter the battlefield gave them a boost of strength and courage.
My objective was none other than the queen. My eyes were glued to where she was standing. Many place guards are standing in my way, but I walked in that direction unfazed.
"Protect the queen!" High Priest Hector ordered the palace guards. "Your majesty, it is not safe here. We must leave." He told Queen Patricia.
"No!" The queen yelled. "I won’t leave until I see them all dead." She said with burning hatred.
"Please stop this, mother." Gladiolus was still under his mother’s magic and cannot move a muscle. He was trying so hard but cannot even move a muscle. "Please spare Alicia. She is my beloved."
The queen turns a deaf ear to her son’s pleading. She only focus on the death of her enemies.
I on the other hand have set my resolve. I will release this anger here and now.
"Queen Patricia!" I yelled to get her attention.
The queen heard my loud call in the noise of this small battlefield. My eyes caught hers and was locked to one another. I am sure she realized who I was the instant our eyes met. The same hate and anger are evident in our eyes.
"You will pay for what you did." I said with the most cold and menacing tone I have ever given in all my life. "You won’t leave here unscathed. I promise you that."
I held my sword firmly with both hands and charged towards the queen. The queen was surprised with my sudden advancement and was evidently in panic.
"Get him!" The queen ordered his men. "Anyone that can kill that son of a b*tch will be rewarded handsomely."
The guards that heard this all charged towards me. There battle cries are heard. But this people are no match for me. They may use magic stones at their disposal but compared to us Atlantians they are nothing.
One by one the guards charged towards me with their swords and magic stones, but I was able to block every attack that came my way. My sword was stained with the guards’ blood, all of them dropping dead in my path.
"H-He is a monster." I heard a palace guard shriek in fear.
The fury that I was feeling was burning up inside me that I can feel that my whole body was in heat. It was as if my body was enveloped in flames. But I was not hurt by the heat, in fact I felt more powerful than ever before.
"Oh my God, he is a demon." Another palace guard said.
"His whole body is enveloped in flames." One palace guard said.
’My body enveloped in flames?’ I thought to myself.
I looked at my body and in fact it was enveloped in flames. The flames were not burning my flesh or my clothes, but it was clearly burning anything in my vicinity. I can feel so much power surging inside of me. I smirked with the thought of such power.
"No one can stop me now." I looked directly at the queen.
Queen Patricia’s expression now changes in fright. I am sure that she was now trembling in fear seeing me with such power.
"My queen, we have to leave now!" The high priest said more forceful now. Seeing my power must have given him more reason to retreat with the queen.
"Take the crown prince and leave." Queen Patricia’s fear disappeared when she looked at her son. "Get him to a safe place."
"But how about you, your majesty?" High Priest Hector asked with worry.
"I am afraid I am the only one that can stop his advance." Queen Patricia was looking directly at me.
"No, mother you can’t." Gladiolus said. "I will distract him and you le..." But then he fell unconscious. High Priest Hector caught the crown prince’s body.
"My son, you must survive." Queen Patricia said. "You are our only hope now."
"Your majesty, are you really..." High Priest Hector was cut off his sentence.
"You go on ahead. I will deal with this brat." Queen Patricia said.
"Then be safe your majesty." The high priest bowed and gave the queen her sword. He stood up and carried Prince Gladiolus with the help of a palace guard and retreated.
Queen Patricia stood her ground and looked at me directly. The fire swirling around me was serves as a defensive wall against my enemies.
"So, you didn’t run like what you did before, Queen Patricia." I said to her.
"I will not let you do anything you want in my own palace." Queen Patricia said. "And you have something that belongs to me."
I traced her gaze and saw that she was looking directly at my chest. There I saw the pendant that Alicia had given me as our engagement bond. The blue gem was glowing blue brightly under my clothes on my chest. It was the same as two years ago.
’So, was this the reason why I can feel so much power right now?’ I thought to myself.
"Are you talking about this?" I took out the pendant under my clothes and let Queen Patricia see it. Her eyes shined as if this pendant was the most valuable treasure there is in the entire world. "I am afraid this pendant is not your queen. This is mine and I will never give this to anyone, especially to you."
Queen Patricia’s greedy eyes burned in fury. "I will take it by force then. Be prepared to die here King Regaleon of Grandcrest!"
