Chapter 71 - POV Henry (2/2)
However, before any attack could take place and after James and Ilian had sent many of those black knights youngsters to the wall unconscious. Another wave of knights appeared, this time, they were real ȧssassins.
”Then… as I can see that your loyalty is already broken, and you had chosen your side, I will have to… make you disappear.”
With a flick of his hands, the wave of attackers came running towards us. I put myself in front of Ilian and James too was by my side. However, just before an inch of their swords could reach us… what I had been expecting the whole night happen.
Moria and her disciples. They were also wearing black clothes and black masks, is that some kind of trend? Moira made a signal and the battle started again, they were quite equal in skills and powers. However, the bunch of mȧturė men that came from Thomas's side were battling a group of teenagers from Moira's side. It would be incredible to see how those young knights will mȧturė in the future, they may even be comparable to my own secret knights.
”Kills them!” the frenetic shout from Thomas sounded like a desperate wail. He was certainly stopping thinking, and some craziness came to the light.
Some time ago, my father told me about the Duke of Eylos, Thomas's father. He was a great leader, smart and brave, but… my father also knew that the Duke was hiding something, crazy ideas of conquering and greed for more.
”Useless!” Thomas shouted again and from his ring, he summoned a strange animal. Fierce with long fangs and claws, and red eyes filled with hunger. ”Kill the Crown Prince!”
The creature moved fast towards us… ”Ilian!” I shouted and stood in front of Ilian, then I prepared my sword to stab that thing… however, again, as always and with a big entrance, something unexpected happened.
”ROAR!”
The battle was not that long when the roar of a cat, a majestic, insanely big black cat appeared and on top of it, a beautiful girl with red hair and golden eyes. She was hiding her identity with a white mask filled with gems and a symbol of an A on the cheek.
”…” I could not let my expression reveal the strange sentiment growing inside me. It was laughter and helplessness.
”Stop right there, you crazy psycho!” she shouted, and the animal that was about to attack us simply disappeared after seeing the big cat roaring at it. ”Now, you had done it!”
Anne shouted and with a flick of her hand, a bottle with a blue liquid appeared. How did she do that? Well, she had been practicing for a whole month.
”Now, you will learn what is torture, and what is laugh.”
She launched the bottle to Moira and she, with a high jump and fast speed, reached the body of Thomas.
The ȧssessing had long lost the battle, and no one was left to help that masked idiot. He even began to scream like a coward.
”Don't come near me, you repulsive demon!”
'Open your mouth,' Moira signaled, but before Thomas could even say another word, Moira had already pushed him to the ground with a knee on his ċhėst about to send that blue liquid to his throat. 'Taste the Cure of Sadness.'
She said, and poured the whole liquid into his mouth. Not many seconds later, a burst of compulsive laughter came from behind that creepy mouth.
Anne came down and looked at the boy for some seconds, before she whispered, ”I think... I think the wizard told that it was enough with two or three drops... what should we do now?”
”...”
At first, I can't understand what was Anne trying to achieve, why would she create an excuse for people to be gravely ill when they were cured by Wizard Druon and Rose? Why would she make us accompany that Princess Morgan and then escort her forcefully through hypnotism to an inn?
At first, I thought she wanted to fight that girl, as a part of a revenge plan, but that proved to be wrong. However, just where that Princess went? Nobody saw her leaving.
