33 Chapter 31: A Cliche Acciden (1/2)

[ Violence, Blood & Death warning ]

”It's somewhat satisfying...putting others in their place” Ivery liked standing up for herself against the guards and her grandparents

”It surely is” Luther sadistically grinned, who would dare go against supreme authority when displayed?

”....” Ivery felt a quick shiver go up her spine when she saw Luther making that kind of face again...she knew she'd never get used to it...

Who in this world could?

.....

”Hault!” five guards came rushing towards Ivery and Luther

”It never ends...” Ivery took a deep sigh

”You match the description of the reported intruder, a little girl with red eyes and light blonde hair, remain still so we can take you into custody!” One of the guards yelled out

”Take her into custody?” Luther turned around and looked at the guards with his blood-lusting eyes

”Crown Prince Luther!” All of the guards got down on one knee in front of Luther

”Who do you want to take into custody again?” Luther asked

”We...were told to capture the intruder that is posing to be Princess Inanna..” A guard responded

”And you think this girl is the intruder and is posing to be Princess Inanna?” Luther questioned the guard further

”Yes, she matches the description that we were given by two of the guards she attacked” The guard answered

”She's no intruder, shes your Crown princess you incompetent fools, even if she wasn't Princess Inanna..it is obvious she is a child of the Emperor” Luther was itching to end their lives

”T-That can't be! Crown Princess Inanna is 17 years of age!” The guards looked at Ivery

”There was an accident on a mission, but for your incompetence as guards, you broke the sworn duty to protect and respect all members of the royal family, and for that, I'll give you all the gift of death” Luther said with a chilling glint in his eyes

”Farewell” Luther snapped his fingers

All of the guards suddenly felt an indescribable feeling traveling across their skin.

”Aughh!” A guard howled in pain

The other guards turned around and saw the one who was shouting as if he was being killed.

They all backed up in a cold sweat as they saw the guard's skin slowly start to rot away.

From his skin to the rest of his body, his left eyeball turned into mush and leaked out of his socket. His other eyeball rolled out of its socket.

His hair under his helmet fell off from his scalp, his body continued to rot at a fast pace, until he looked rotted until he looked like an old corpse.

With his skin almost all rotted off, his yellowish bones could be seen, his body collapsed on the ground.

His helmet rolled on the floor and lightly tapped the front guard's shoe.

Ivery stood still and carefully as she also stood in the pitch-black colored hallway...not scared like they were...but she was already anticipating what he would do next..

The guards slowly turned around to look at the Crown prince, knowing this was his doing...

Their complexions all turned pale when they turned around.

....

Standing in front of them was a pure black skeleton that had glowing purple dots in its black hollow sockets which made it look like he was staring deep into their souls...it somehow had long black hair coming from the top of its skinless cranium.

They noticed...his clothes were the exact same clothes the Crown prince was wearing....wait..where did Crown prince Luther...go?! Where did this skeleton come from!?

They closely watched as the skeleton opened its jaw.

Black goo flowed out of its mouth like a waterfall. The black goo rushed over their feet, as if they were standing in a river.

”What is this!?” The guards lifted up their feet as they slushed around in the goo

Without warning, the black goo pulled one of the four remaining guards underneath. The other men did not understand how that could be possible....the black goo was only above their ankles and barely reached their knees.

Two of the guards shrieked when they saw the horrifying sight.

They noticed a skeleton float up to the surface of the goo, wearing the same armor they had on...

The black skeleton evilly cackled, the purple glowing dots in its sockets glowed deeper in color.

Two more of the guards were pulled down into the black goo. Leaving one guard remaining.

”Have mercy!” The guard cried and pleaded

He felt a tug on his foot.

”C-Crown P-Princess! Help me!” The guard tearfully looked at Ivery standing behind the terrifying skeleton

”Crown Princess?” Ivery stroked her chin

”Who's that?” She smiled and looked around

”Y-You!?” The guard looked at her as his only savior

”Me? But I'm the intruder, aren't I?” Ivery shook her head

”I believe you! Please just t-tell that thing to spare my life!” He shouted, noticing the skeleton had no intentions of harming her

”That's rude” Ivery said to the guard

”....?” He didn't understand

”To call my fiance, the Crown Prince a 'thing', is a major disrespect” Ivery's eyes looked at the guard mischievously

”...F-Fiance...? Crown..Prince...?” The guard still didn't get it

”T-That's!?” The guard looked at the skeleton with horror-filled eyes

”Death..” A deep raspy voice came out of the skeleton that was identified by Ivery as Luther

Luther pointed his finger at the guard and his skin and muscles tore apart, revealing the bone underneath. The guard screamed in agony before he fell back in the black goo, dead. His bloodied skeleton and organs were submerged in the goo.

”Trash...” Luther's ominous voice echoed in the hallway

..

Luther's appearance changed again and he retook his original human form.

He shifted his form to reveal his skeleton.

It is an ability that he only possesses, shapeshifting. He is able to take the form of another person or being...dead and alive.

The hallways shined with a fine white marble polish and it's golden outlined structures were seen again, the black goo and the remains of the guards seemed to have never existed.

”You weren't scared were you?” Luther wiped a black liquid that ran down from the corner of his mouth with his thumb and turned to look down at Ivery

”Do you want me to be scared of you?” Ivery asked

”Of course not” Luther responded to her silly question

”After all of these years of being around you...you'd still believe that you are able to scare me?” Ivery laughed

”You think I can't scare you?” The corners of Luther's lips arched into a grin

”No” Ivery said to him with confidence

”If you say so...” Luther never once thought about hurting Ivery

But scaring her on the other hand...wasn't so bad..

His sadistic side was beginning to show through his expression.
