44 REIGN OF EMILIA- Reigning down hell

Previously

"Thank you, and you were right."

"About what?" Queen Isabella asks.

Emilia wipes her tears away before saying seriously. "Wenn ich mein Imperium nicht regieren kann, muss ich es vielleicht zerstören."

[If I can not rule my empire, then perhaps I must destroy it.]

*Present*

"Bist du bereit, Eure Hoheit?" Edward asks for confirmation. [GERMAN- Are you ready, Your Highness?]

"Sprenge es in die Luft. Edward." Emilia responds, no remorse whatsoever evident in her eyes. [Blow it up. Edward.]

And that's exactly what Eddie did. All he needed was confirmation from the princess, and now that her got it, he clicked the big red button on the detonator without hesitation.

"Und es fällt alles herunter." Emilia mutters as she watches her old high school combust into flames. [And it all falls down.]

Seconds later, students start running from all direction through each exits. All those fire drill practices the principal and teachers taught them seemed to have went through the other ear.

Yes, the royal family had decided to set fore to a whole high school with no intention of rescuing anyone inside.

Why? You might have forgotten the Royal family's motto. Protect their self and their people, anyone who poses a threat to them or their people, die.

Abigail was family, and while she was gasping for air, on the brink of death, no one helped. Her so called friends ignored it and her schoolmates just stared and videotaped it. So it's only natural that they have made an enemy of the entire Europe.

Emilia was certain that none would get out alive. She didn't give a damn that she was about to kill over a thousand people, Abigail's life was worth much more than those measly peasants.

"In Ordnung, folge mir. Niemandh kommt lebend raus, hörst du mich?" Emilia orders. [Alright, follow me. No one comes out alive. Do you hear me?]

"No one." She deadpans.

"Yes ma'am." Mumbles Edwardo.

Emilia soon leads all her men through the entrance of the school and to the school courtyard, where students and teachers ran to escape from the flames of the burning building. Unfortunately for them, they weren't able to make it pass the gates, for dozens of armed men, carrying assault rifles and machine guns blocked every possible entrance or exit.

Students paused in the middle of the courtyard. Confused and scared. One student. Eric Gregory. The schools golden boy, somehow mustered up the courage to walk up to Edwardo, not noticing Emilia.

"Are you here to help-" Eric didn't get to finish, for Edwardo had pulled the trigger, leaving an evident hole where Eric's stomach should've been.

Eric's body falls lifeless to the floor, and the moment student started to comprehend what was happening, they all began to scatter like in Squid Game's one, two, three red light.

Gunshots begin to fire, and body begin to pile, but Emilia was searching some particular people.

Alec was the first one to be spotted by her. He was making his way to the back of the school, in hopes that he could escape from the massacre that was taking place in the courtyard. However before he even got to the back Emilia got to him first, and without hesitation, or giving him a chance to beg, Emilia aims and pulls the trigger of her handgun, putting a bullet in his head, instantly. Alec's body falls limp to the ground, blood oozing out of his forehead, creating a pool of blood around his head.

"That is for pretending to be my friend then betraying me last minute." Emilia spits, walking away.

Next person to be found was Michael, who's throat was slit. Then Levie, who got a bullet through the eye. Then Hannah, a broken neck, McKenna who started screaming the moment she locked eyes with Em. Her screams were however cut off when Emilia skillfully put a bullet through her mouth from afar. When it was Hailey's turn she was adamant in putting up a fight, she ran, hid, tried to fight back, but her action proved effortless when Emilia's butterfly knife kissed her temple.

"That is for Abigail." Emilia hisses. Tears threatening to escape her eyes but she regained he composure before they could.

Ace was a whole different story. When he saw Em with a hand gun in each thigh strap, all he did was take a deep breath. Emilia wanted to relish this kill. Although she knew that Abigail's death was her fault, she still believed that he was partially to blame. After all, he was the one who gave Emilia the idea to out her secret, and eventually lead to Abigail's asthma attack.

"Calm down Em. I don't want to fight you, I really don't." Ace spoke up.

"Understandable." Emilia shrugs. I mean you are going to die, I would not want to fight me either."

Ace rolls hi eyes: "Yeah, right."

Without warning, Emilia approaches Ace in a flash, lifting both her feet off the ground and kicking him in the chest. Sending them both flying in opposite directions.

Ace falls on his back and groans in pain, while Em is on her feet again, in less that three seconds.

"Jesus fucking Christ Emilia. What the fuck?" Ace grumbled. Before he could properly regain his composure, Emilia's fist kissed the center of his face and I swear I heard a crack, indicating that his nose broke.

"Okay I am deadass not having this." Ace grunted, his grip unexpectedly came in contact with Emilia's throat, taking her off guard for a split second, but when he began lifting her by the throat with one fucking hand like the damn hulk, Emilia used her hand to bend one of his fingers all the way back, snapping that too. When Ace let go of his grip on her and stumbled back in pain, Emilia took the opportunity to jump on his back, trapping him in a chokehold.

Ace backs up to the building and slams her back into the concrete wall, but Emilia still doesn't budge, she firmly grips his hyoid bone and squeezed. Her actions had Ace gripping her arm to pull it away. Ace then pulled the cutlass from his pocket and jams it in Emilia's leg around his torso.

Emilia winced in pain and let go of him, falling to the ground.

Ace swung the cutlass on his fingers, approaching Em, slowly.

Show off…

"I told you Em. I said I didn't wanna fight you, but you've always been so fucking stubborn." He cussed, raising his cutlass.

Emilia pulled her hand guns out of both pockets, aimed and shot Ace in both legs, causing him to fall to his knees in pain.

You know, for a mafia heir he's a real weakling.

Emilia aimed her gun to his head, ready to finish him off.

"Please Em. You don't wanna do this." Ace pleaded.

Emilia pouted. "You are right, I do not. Not like this." She tossed both guns aside, before burning him to a crisp with her fire breathing powers.

Wait a damn minute.

"Em!" Ace yells.

How the hell is the corps talking!?

Emilia stares at Ace's corps, but his mouth was not moving. "What the hell?"

"Em!" His voice was heard again, and Emilia swore that the corps was haunting her already.

"Emily! Wake the fuck up!"

That's when Emilia jolted out of her sleep, her heart pounding, and her body sweating. She takes a minute to take in her surrounding.

She was naked, and Ace laid beside her in only his boxers, staring at her with worry. "Are you okay?" Ace asks.

That's when Emilia came to a realization of what was happening.

It was all a fucking dream.
