243 The King is no more (1/2)
”DON!” she cried out sorrowfully. She wanted to cry his heart out as her eyes turned blood red and tears welled up in her eyes, slowly flowing down her face. With her current strength, she could feel that he was already dead. Even with all the healing potions in the world, she could not bring him back.
”We failed, we failed to protect him.” Arwen arrived beside Don with his shaking body. His face was pale and filled with self-blame and sadness.
Every one of them was crying as Stodemar stuck to his chest and never let go of his body. Even Reghys who was a dragon shedding tears and cleaning the blood on his body with Ken and Riya.
”AH!”
Another loud cry echoed through the room and they turned to see Amaryll falling on the ground. Arwen quickly dashed at her instinctively and grabbed his sister.
Arrora did not say or look back at Amaryll as her gaze was fixed on Don's body. She stared lifelessly at his body while the tears of blood constantly flowed from her eyes.
”NOOOOOOOOO!”
A while later, Arrora's shout filled with bound energy sent everyone flying away as her scream echoed through the entire kingdom and shook the very castle they were standing in. She then turned her gaze towards Reghys who was the only one sitting on the bed after her shout, ”what happened? Who did this?” her voice was not loud as before, but it was icy-cold and even the surrounding temperature abruptly plummeted with what he said, becoming cold due to the immense killing intent she was radiating.
The surrounding people in the room immediately felt a cold intent envelop their bodies, causing them to shiver without any control. At that current moment, she was like a death god to the surrounding people, unbelievably terrifying.
”We don't know who did this, he was ambushed on his way to Agoria, someone or something attacked the Jewel with the Legendary level spell”
Reghys said as her voice broke due to sorrow and grief.
The moment Reghys said this, Arrora's figure disappeared as she dashed towards the teleportation room to leave Everlight and search for the murderers.
****************************
Within the Everlight castle, in a large room, it was currently full of people. Basically, all the people of Everlight had gathered there. In Front of everyone was a luxurious bed, where Don currently lay, the three tiger cubs rested their heads on his chest and mourned the loss.
At the moment, Arrora's dull eyes stared at his body and she seemed to be petrified, unable to move at all.
Behind Arrora, the pale faces of Arwen and the dwarves were covered with tears. They stood there silently and sorrowfully, while Amaryll had already cried to the point where her eyes had become red and swollen.
On the side, Nicolas sat in a wheelchair, staring at Don on the bed. The emotions in his eyes varied constantly; sometimes stricken with grief, sometimes sorrowful, sometimes lost, sometimes self blame. Vivian had to wipe the tears away from his face often as she too couldn't help but shed tears.
Even though the large and luxurious room was filled with people, it was unusually silent. The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
”I will wake him up!”
Suddenly Amaryll stood up and ran towards his body while tears flowed out of her eyes.
”Don wake up! Don't scare us! Please wake up!”
She seemed like a crazy person as she kept shaking his body.
”Stop it, Amaryll”
Gray wrapped her hand around Amaryll and pulled her back. No one in the room was able to ask Amaryll to stop crying because every one of them was crying inside. Nanbu took Elrond away from the castle lying to him that they were going to train because they didn't want the little kid to see Don's body.
Kayako left all her works on hold and brought them something to eat considering none of them in the room had eaten anything from yesterday.
But all her effort was in vain when they still refused to eat anything, how could they eat? How could they feel hunger?

”Where am I?”
At the moment, Knight was floating in a place where everything seemed nothing but white.
