The Loss of a Comrade

(Regaleon's POV)

I saw blood trickle down on the side of Alex's mouth. Shock and despair was all that I can feel right now.

"Thank you for this." Clara had a sinister grin on her face. She pushed Alex and he fell unto the ground with a thud.

I can feel blood rush towards my head, feeling the anger building up. I grip my broken sword firmly and hurled it right towards Clara's head. Before it hit her, a wall of water blocked the way.

"Your highness…" Clara looked at Gladiolus with dreamy eyes that made me want to hurl.

"Clara, come here." Gladiolus ordered.

With his order, Clara moved swiftly to Gladiolus' side. She instantly gave him the two key fragments.

"You have done well, Clara." Gladiolus said while looking at the key fragments. "I am afraid that I cannot play with you any longer king of Grandcrest. I will bid you farewell."
