Chapter 367 - A Final Goodbye (1) (unedited) (1/2)

(Regaleon's POV)

Tempest and I were flying in the sky to the destination where Clara and Patricia went. Tempest hovered above and we saw a small dock where a ship was lying in wait.

”So, you are planning to escape Patricia.” I said with a sinister smile. ”Of course I will not let you.”

I conjured fire balls in the air and let it fly towards the ship that was in the docks. Patricia who was already on board the ship was caught off guard and was surprised with my attack. The fire balls rained down on her and Clara.

”YOU B*STARD!!!” Patricia cursed at me in the top of her lungs, looking up at me with raging eyes.

”Your majesty, we need to abandon ship.” The captain I presume, told Patricia. ”ABANDON SHIP… I repeat ABANDON SHIP!”

The ship quickly caught fire after the rain of my fire balls from above. I see the people on the ship were running for their lives, jumping down and into the water to survive the fire. Patricia and Clara were no exceptions.

I have instructed Tempest to hover near the shore to let me off. I jumped down the sandy beach with only one thing in mind, and that is to end Patricia's life here and now.

”*cough cough*” Patricia coughed out water that she swallowed when they jumped out of the ship.

”Your majesty, are you alright?” Clara said with pure worry. She helped Patricia out of the water.

”Get your filthy hands away from me!” Patricia yelled in anger. ”How dare you push me off the ship without my permission?”

”B-But my queen… it was an emergency.” Clara reasoned. ”If I have not done that then…”

*SLAP*

Patricia slapped Clara on her cheek. It was red like a tomato, indicating how hard the slap was.

”Impudent b*tch!” Patricia yelled. ”How dare you speak back at your queen. You are nothing but a lowly subject under me.”

The people that were manning the ship were ordinary Alvannian crew under the baron. And so after abandoning ship they ran away in fright, not even turning back. The ones that were left by the shores were only Clara and Patricia.

”So, you are now showing your true colors Patricia.” I said with a mocking smile. ”Tell me Clara, do you still want to serve under such a queen?”

Clara looked like she was in the verge of tears. I am giving her this last chance to turn her back away from Patricia. If she does, then I will honor the promise that I have given to Jeremy.

”I… I cannot.” Clara pulled out her sword and faced me. ”I have to keep her majesty safe.”

”Then I have no choice but to end you here and now.” I said with a chilling voice. ”I will not let anyone get in my way of killing Patricia.”

I was about to confront Clara who was the only obstacle in my pursuit of Patricia when I heard horse hooves coming from a direction.

”Clara!” Jeremy yelled. ”Please stop this!”

”B-Brother…” Clara looked at the direction of her brother in surprise. ”I thought you…”

”I can never abandon my one and only little sister.” Jeremy said while jumping off of his horse. ”Your majesty, let me talk to her for the last time. Please.” He begged me. I paused for a second before giving him permission by nodding.

Dimitri was just behind Jeremy, also in horse back. He came down and went towards me.

”Your majesty.” Dimitri whispered. ”Her majesty's mother is here. She is being escorted by the king of Alvannia. They are on their way here as we speak.”

”Mother in law?” I asked in surprise. I looked at Patricia, knowing that I will have a hard time killing her if my mother in law would beg me to spare her twin's life.

Jeremy walked in haste towards where his sister was standing.

”Do not come any closer!” Clara yelled. ”Your majesty, please stay back.” She told Patricia.

”Clara, please stop this.” Jeremy pleaded his sister. ”Father would not have wanted us to do this. He marched to war wanting us to never experience such hardsh.i.p.s like him. His majesty King Regaleon has given his word to me, that he will spare your life if you just surrender.”

”But what will happened with his highness Gladiolus.” Clara asked with a doubtful face. Jeremy shook his head in regret.

”We are not the ones to decide their faith Clara.” Jeremy said with a solemn voice. ”But I believe prince Gladiolus still has room for change. But her highness the queen…” He shook his head in doubt.

Clara looked like she was being persuaded by her brother. Jeremy took slow steps forward, until he was face to face with his sister.

”Clara, come with me. Okay?” Jeremy held his sister's shoulder gently.

”Brother I…” Clara looked up at her brother looking ready to go with him but then we were all surprised by a sudden action.

Clara spit blood from her mouth. An ice spear was impaling both the siblings' body.

”Jeremy!” Dimitri and I both shouted in surprise.

”HAHAHAHAHA!!!” Patricia laughed out maniacally. ”How dare you two betray me?! If you are just going to betray me, then pay it with your lives!”

”C-Clara…” Jeremy hugged his sister and both of them fell down the sandy beach.

”PATRICIA!!!” I screamed with rage.
