Chapter 104 - 97: How fun... (2/2)

They no longer care for their family, even the airhead Mala can see that their parents and older brother are going insane.

As they were all contemplating, suddenly, the mods outside stopped yelling. They could only hear the words ”Your majesty!” or ”Your highness!”.

Their father, Harold Lars, suddenly stood up and ran towards the door. He opened it and it revealed that the King himself was standing in front of their house.

His majestic appearance completely entranced everyone. He wore plain clothes, a black T-shirt and white pants. But covering his plain clothes was the King's robe that was made of a chimera's hide.

”Y-your majesty!” Harold kneeled down immediately out of fear. He was one of the nobles who were starved for a week inside that throne room, and he knew that this King of his can kill him as easily as breathing.

Offending him right now is not the best choice of action.

Hikaru then looked down on him and felt immense pressure from him. Cristoff, who was behind him, only stood still with a stoic face.

”Harold Lars.” Said Hikaru.

”Y-yes, y-your majesty.” He stuttered.

”Tell me, would you do anything right now if I let your family live like they used to?” Hikaru asked- no, more like demanded.

Harold was shocked, he never knew this cruel King would ask something like that. So he answered immediately with, ”Yes, your majesty, I would do anything.”

He was no fool. He's going to die anyway along with his wife, at least his son and daughters can live happily if he obeys his highness. He has nothing to lose anyway.

Suddenly, he felt cold all over his body. He couldn't lift his head because he knew he couldn't do that, but he could feel the cold gazing stare of his majesty, the King,

Hikaru smiled cruelly and said, ”Then, go kill yourself with your wife.” He dropped a knife in front of Harold.

Time froze for him. He was prepared to do this, but it was still a shock for him. He would have to kill his wife and himself for his children, for him, that's not a bad deal.

He looked at his wife, who, in turn, looked back at him in fear. He picked up the knife that the King gave him, and slowly stood up. He then ran towards her,

”N-no! Get away from me-- gak, blrgh…!”

He stabbed his wife repeatedly in the throat, and tears poured out of his eyes. One last stab as he stared at his wife's face for the last time. Snot, saliva, and tears poured out of his wife's face. His clothes were stained by her blood, but he no longer cared.

He then stood up and slowly turned around to look at Hikaru with a mocking face, ”All hail his majesty, eh?” Then he stabbed his own head, and died.

Hikaru only watched with an amused eyes.

He would be doing this to other nobles, too.

Truly, how fun...
