52 Chapter 52: Grand Ball Finale (2/2)
Caesar moved his face even closer, the people in the hall on concentrated their gaze on the words Caesar looked like he was about to say, but not on his subtle hands that if one looked closely enough passed a slightly shiny like object to the girl's hands.
Caesar whispered undecipherably ”I will protect you, run wild” Caesar smiled and stood back up.
he patted the young noble on his shoulders and asked curiously ”what is your name?”
”Randy” The young noble replied back hastily.
”I see, well Randy, to answer your question earlier, Ahri is not for sale and even if you offered the entire world It would still not be enough” Caesar smiled coldly and turned around with Ahri.
He walked ever so slowly and it felt as though time stopped one step… two steps… three steps… Once he was about 5 feet away the young fox-kin girl used this moment and stood up hastily.
A shining object shined in her hands as she struck down at Randy, no one even had time to react before blood spurted throughout the halls.
”AHHHHHHHHHHHH” Randy screamed and covered his shoulder that was bleeding profusely.
The girl tackled Randy and stabbed once again on his other shoulder, then on his right thigh, and his arm.
”GUARDS, HELP…. ANYONE AHHHHHHH” Randy's screams echoed throughout the entire hall.
”SOMEONE HELP MY SON!” a middle-aged voice roared out at this time.
Caesar turned back ever so slowly and looked down at this scene with cold eyes, the young girl was crying a river while stabbing down.
”You bastard!”
”This is for raping me!”
”This is for killing my mother”
”For my father!”
Her screeches echoed in everyone's ears, causing the guards to halt their steps and just watch on.
Soon Randy's screams stopped and just the sound of a knife puncturing skin entered into the ears of everyone present, the young girl abruptly stopped stabbing and threw the knife on the floor.
*clang*
She stood up and looked at everyone with hatred reflected in her eyes.
”I lived through hell, many people have looked at me with pity, sadness, anger, helplessness, but I hated it all… I NEVER WANTED SOMEONE'S PITY, I WANTED THEIR HELP”
She choked on her tears and continued…
”I waited for so long, I lived just for the thought of finally being able to gain my vengeance…”
The people in the hall had their tongue's tied, she was right… they didn't do anything in fear of retaliation.
”There are so many that are like me, that live in hell while all of you have these parties to celebrate. What about us? Does anyone care about us?” The young girl continued to rant to all those nearby.
”Don't you hate it? I was told stories by my father of the glorious heroes and saints but how come they never stopped slavery? How come they didn't come and save me?”
The young girl spilled out her grievances while choking on tears, Ahri suddenly ran towards her and hugged her tightly… ”It's okay now,” she said soothingly in her ear.
The scene of a beautiful purple-haired fox kin hugging a bloodied white-haired younger fox-kin created a peculiar picture.
”WAHHHHH” The girl cried on Ahri's shoulders dirtying her dress.
”CAN YOU STOP WATCHING AND HURRY UP AND ARREST THIS WHORE?” a furious middle-aged man stomped forward.
Caesar shook his head and subtly walked to where the knife was thrown and picked it up, he stashed it in his pocket and blocked the young girl.
”I will deliver proper judgment towards this young lass, I will be taking her to the prison now,” He said with a serious tone directed at the middle-aged man.
Ahri looked at Caesar shocked and the middle-aged man finally stopped moving ”fine! I expect to see her head on the city gates tomorrow morning” he yelled and walked out of the halls.
Caesar escorted both Ahri and the young girl through the hall and went inside the hallway that he and Ahri had come through at the start of the party.
Crowley soon cleared his throat loudly ”the grand ball has been interrupted, but, do not let that stop you from continuing to drink”
The rest of the people present stayed for a few more minutes but soon the halls became empty and everyone left… No one wanted to stay in that dark atmosphere.
Randy's body was cleaned up by Sebastian and a few other guards…
---
Caesar escorted the two girls to his room and locked the door behind him, Ahri sat down on the bed with the young fox-kin and whispered soothing words.
After the girl calmed down Caesar finally couldn't help but ask, ”what is your name?”
”Adriana” The girl replied after a few seconds of hesitation.
Caesar nodded his head, ”I will let you two talk alone, I have some things I need to take care of” Caesar said with a wide smile and stepped out of the room.
”Young master, I have prepared the location and information on the entire Rudolph family”
Caesar smiled coldly and took the papers from Sebastian's hands, he walked while reading ”I have some loose ends to clean up” he thought inwardly.
The sound of his and Sebastian's cold but steady footsteps were the only things that could be heard in the palace that night.
