Knights Wrath

"Y-Your Majesty!" the female attendant cried, her voice breaking as the light in the king's eyes faded, extinguished forever.

The Royal Guards sprang into action, drawing their swords in unison. "Such audacity!" roared a fierce, bald man with a thick brown beard.

This was Guile Freuge, the Royal Knight Captain, his blade gleaming with a lethal intent.

"Restrain this man!" Viscount Wellian shouted, the corners of his mouth twitching in a concealed grin. 'This couldn't have worked out any better', he thought.

But something was wrong. The eleven Royal Knights, instead of turning on Nyx, pivoted and aimed their weapons at the Knight Captain and Viscount Wellian.

Nyx murmured under his helmet. "Looks like my skills are effective even in this place," to himself.

He turned his back on the chaos, cold and commanding. "Restrain them," Nyx ordered. The Royal Knights obeyed, wrestling the stunned Captain and the astonished Viscount to the ground.

Moments later, Guile, Viscount Wellian, and the female attendant were on their knees, bound and helpless before the throne.

Nyx removed his helmet slowly, the air thick with the terrifying presence he exuded as he sat upon the king's seat. His face remained unchanged, calm yet disturbingly sinister.

'My 'Control' lasts for 4 hours currently at my level, especially with these weak figures' Nyx thought 

Nyx observed a blue information panel that only he could see, detailing the statuses of those around him:

"How dare you sit upon the throne!" Guile shouted, his eyes blazing with defiance. "This is betrayal! I swear I will have your head."

Nyx leaned forward, his chin resting on his fist, his gaze cold and unfeeling. "Loyalty… a virtue you cling to even now," he said.

"Yes, I will die for this kingdom," Guile declared with unwavering resolve.

"However, I'm not one that gives rise to opposition"Nyx said again coldly, his jaw resting on his closed hand while sitting on the throne

"Kill him"Nyx said

Without a moment's hesitation, a controlled Royal Knight stepped forward, plunging a sword through Guile's head. The blade pierced through his mouth, silencing him forever.

Blood splattered across the marble floor as Guile's lifeless body slumped forward.

The female attendant screamed, her voice shattering the air

'He's not the most important piece in this room' Nyx thought inwardly

Nyx's gaze fell upon Viscount Wellian, who trembled despite himself. "Right… Viscount

Wellian," Nyx drawled, his voice icy and merciless.

Demon… he's a demon, Wellian thought, horror twisting his features as he realized he was now the next target of Nyx's attention.
