The sword kept taking Christoph's soul more and more. It wasn't until Christoph was left on the floor motionless, that the sword fully stored Christoph's soul. Creating a lifeless body with a sword on the palms of its hands.
Ariel grabbed the sword from the dead body and lifted it high in the air.
Ariel,
"We have finally killed that damn fool! His kingdom is finally ours!".
Crowd cheered to her words.
Ariel then shouted,
"Maid!".
A maid came inside the room and bowed.
"How may I serve you, my queen".
Ariel,
"Dispose of this sword. I don't ever want to see this atrocious thing again".
The maid grabbed the sword, bowed, and left the room.
Leaving the room, Ariel continued talking,
"Now that my husband is dead, we need to decide how we'll separate the estate and any other related things. First off, of course, I'll be-".
Before she could continue, the last two surviving generals stabbed their swords into her.
General 1,
"You have nothing stopping us from taking everything".
General 2,
"In reality, we were gonna do a three-way share between us generals but Christoph killed the third guy. So... more for us".
Pulling their swords from her body, her dead body dropped on the floor.
General 2,
"Men, kill the rest of the Reds family".
The generals' subordinates quickly killed all of Christoph's betraying children with no remorse. Some tried to retaliate but they stood no chance against them since the subordinates here were the best knights and magicians the kingdom could offer.
...
The maid holding a sword had left the castle area and was at the castle's defensive river.
The kingdom's capital city had a strong wall surrounding the city. Inside the city was Christoph's castle which was even more defended. The castle had its own stone wall and a river that surrounded the castle. Making it almost impossible to siege.
The maid had decided that the best and easiest place to dispose of the sword was to throw it in the river.
The defensive river was a forbidden swimming area. No one was allowed to go near the river or they would be executed for trying to infiltrate the castle. Even if the person only came to the river to cool off and have a nice swim.
The maid then threw the sword as far as she could. Trying to aim for the deepest parts.
As the sword fell into the water, it sank deeper and deeper. Eventually, the sword reached the bottom. Unable to be retrieved anymore.
...
Years upon years went by with Christoph being trapped inside the sword. Unable to speak or say anything. It was as if a dream where one would be stuck in an endless void. Not knowing what to do.
As time went by, 500 years passed. During these years, the kingdom came into new management. The generals took over and shared the kingdom peacefully. Dual ruling the kingdom, but then the war came.
Christoph was the foundation of the kingdom and without him, the kingdom was quickly wagged war on. Nearby kings hungry for power and territory raided Rojas Kingdom and took almost everything.
The Rojas Kingdom lost 60% of its territory, 80% of its population, 90% of its slaves, the second general died, and it wasn't its own kingdom anymore. Rojas Kingdom was reduced to become White City and becoming one of Blancos Kingdom's cities.
As the capital city of Rojas Kingdom became a Blanco city, it fell into more ruin. The old capital lost its prospering self and became ragged, dirty, and corrupt. The city was in ruin; leaving it to become a city of crime.
Where murder, stealing, brothels, and drugs were everywhere. Christoph's castle, becoming a makeshift town hall being managed by the surviving General's descendants.
Since it was under a new kingdom, the General's descendants could only hope to be the mayor of this run-down city.
With all this going on, the river that used to surround Christoph's castles decreased in volume and trash would be littered in the river from time to time. Eventually, removing the water entirely. Leaving the sword which Christoph was trapped in, exposed.
...
Inside the castle now made into the town hall, were two people inside the old royal chamber. The room wasn't used as the master bedroom anymore but as the family torture room. It went from a beautiful place to sleep to a sadist's wet dream with a beautiful view.
Inside the room was a lowly slave girl being whipped by the mayor's chubby son. With the Mayors fat son being a descendant of Christoph's traitors.
The maid was on the floor, being whipped again and again. The whip was made of leather so every whip made a slapping sound. Cutting into her skin and causing her to bleed.
Fat Boy,
"Say you're sorry!".
Slave,
"I'm sorry!".
Fat Boy,
"Louder!".
Slave,
"I'M SOrry".
Fat Boy,
"Don't lower your voice!".
The girl kept on being whipped while crying. She had done nothing wrong but the boy wanted to have fun with her. The boy found pleasure in hurting her so he didn't care that she didn't do anything wrong.
Slave,
"p-please stop".
The boy whipped harder and yelled,
"HOW DARE YOU ORDER ME!".
In pain and bleeding, she couldn't stand it anymore. The slave charge at the boy and began pushing. She kept pushing the plump boy again and again. The boy couldn't do anything since he never worked or trained in his life. It barely has any muscle and just all fat.
As the servant kept going crazy, not caring about what was happening, and only wanting to push away her torturer. She pushed the boy out to the balcony.
Fat Boy,
"Please stop! I'm gonna fall you dumb B*TCH! I'll F*CKING kills you".
The girl didn't care and kept shoving and knocking the boy off the balcony. Unfortunately, she was too much in a panic to notice she already pushed him off. Causing her to keep moving forward and falling off the balcony as well.
Two bodies now fell from the sky, a fat boy followed by a dangerously skinny slave. The boy reached the ground first, smashing his back on the floor; injuring his organs and shattering his bones. His arm was worst of all, being severed completely but an unfortunately placed sword.
Luckily for him, he was the mayor's son. Since he survived the fall, he only needs to be found before his father takes him to the best healing magician in town.
Shortly after, the girl's body fell as well. This time, she didn't have the same fat as the chubby boy to save her and cushion her fall. Her bones instantly broke and punctured out of her body. Leaving her body gaping holes to her innards.
...
Inside the endless void of the sword, Christoph was reminiscing the past. Thinking of different scenarios of how his life could've been. Since it's been 500 years, he was in his billionth scenario.
While daydreaming, the void shook. Then, a strange red wall appeared in the void.
Christoph,
"What is that?"
There was no floor or walls in the void. Christoph's soul just flew around but never reached anywhere. With this wall, Christoph finally had somewhere to fly to.
Reaching the wall, Christoph placed his transparent soul hands on the red wall. Placing his hands on the wall, Christoph's vision changed. Instead of seeing a red wall, Christoph saw a bright blue sky with clouds and birds flying above.
Freaked out, Christoph removed his hands and said,
"What in the world was that?".
Christoph placed his hands again on the wall, trying to figure out what it was that he saw. Placing his hands again, Christoph looked to his right. There he saw the sword that captured him being covered in blood and a severed hand.
Christoph,
"Wait, this is a person! Maybe, I can take over this body!".
Christoph removed his hands from the wall again but then changed his soul shape into mist.
After many years of being in the void with only a soul to entertain him. Christoph started playing with his soul. Eventually, with playing with his soul, Christoph learned how to change its size and shape.
Changing his soul into a mist, he covered the wall and forcefully embedded himself into the wall. While forcing his way inside, the fat boy started losing his vision.
Lossing his vision, he felt himself lunged into a void where he saw Christoph.
Fat Boy,
"You, what is happening, what is this place?! I demand answers!".
Christoph,
"Before I do, what is your name?".
Fat Boy,
"I'm Ritzy Reds, the mayors son. Now tell me what is this place!".
Christoph,
"Oh, the Reds family. Decedent of the Reds Generals during the Rojas rule".
Fat Boy,
"Yeah, so what?".
Christoph smirked and didn't speak anymore. He left the boy in the sword and took over the boy's body.
