Epilogue-03: THE SHADOW

"It... Seems... Like.... This is the... End for me... I am sorry.... In the end, .... I wasn't able.... To... Save... You... Even... Though... I managed to.... Bring... Myself... I couldn't..... Khalid.... Don't give.... Up.... Remember... You are the son.... Of the young prince... You also.... Are the rightful... Heir of the... Throne... Live happily... If you ever need any help.... Just meet a person called," Julia Gilbert" from the Veeral dynasty.... She will help.... You... Listen, Mama... Loves you...." Saying that mom's hand fell from my cheek.

"Mom..... No... Moooomm... Please wake up... I know you're sleeping... Please... I beg you... How would I live without you?.... Please...."I started begging.

But mom didn't replied. No, she couldn't. I finally realized that mom has finished taking her last breathe.

"W-what happening? Wh-who the hack attacked us?" The pig said.

"Shut up. It was your fault for touching her." Saying that a man with black hair entered. He looks like a middle aged young man. He looks so cool. Behind him, a beautiful brown haired lady entered. She was wearing magicians clothes.

"L-Lord Arsenal and L-lady Pixie." The pig said in fear.

"His Majesty told you not to touch this woman with your dirty hands, right? You did that. Do you know that consequences?" Lord Arsenal said.

"I-I-I" the piggy started to get scared.

"We had no other way but to kill her. Well, we will report that to His Majesty." Lord Arsenal said.

"A-anything but that." The pig started to do dogeza.

"But you see piggy-chan. You did a crime you know. You tried to take his majesty's important slave. So, you have to bear with his rage you know. I am sorry, piggy-chan. But you are finished." Lady Pixie said.

"Please help me. I will do anything." The pig started to beg.

"He is begging like a pig.. Puppupu." Lady Pixie laughed.

*Punched

Lord Arsenal punched the pig and said,

"Okay, I will take your offer. I will say that they have run away. With this your life will be spared. But you will have to listen to us from now on." Lord Arsenal said.

"Y-yes. Thank you." The pig thanked Arsenal.

After that, Lord Arsenal looked at me and ordered to the pig that,

"Take this kid to your city. He will be a slave from now on."

"Y-yes." the pig noble answered.

"Eh!? He is so cute. I wanted to have him you know." Lady Pixie said.

"If you want, you can just legally buy him in the market. But royal capital is dangerous for him. If his majesty knows that he is here, he would be mad at us." Lord Arsenal said.

"I understand. But what would happen if he gets mad at us? He is not much of a powerful person. We both are the most powerful here." Lady Pixie said.

"I know. But still we have to listen to him for now." Lord Arsenal said.

"Yeah." Lady Pixie agreed.

"Umm, what would we do with these body?" The pig asked.

"Just let these body be. Just destroy the house with fire. Their body will be turn into ashes." Lord Arsenal said.

"I see. Understood." The pig nodded.

"I will let this boy to you, Piggy-chan. I want to buy him officially." Saying that both Lady Pixie and Lord Arsenal was about to leave.

"I will kill you... I will kill everyone here.... Arsenal, Pixie you murderers will die in my hand. I will fuck every last member of this pigs family myself. You took my reason to live, I will take something more important than this from you." I shouted.

Hearing that Arsenal looked at me and said,

"Seems like something awaken within you, huh. No matter how many time you come at me, I will destroy you."

After that, both Lord Arsenal and Lady Pixie left.

After they left, the pig looked at remaining knights and said,

"You guys, just make him wear a slave collar and take him to my city now."

"Remember you pig. I will kill you." I shouted.

"What are you guys watching... Just do as I say." the pig said to others.

=========================

=====Third person's POV=====

After that, Khalid was dragged out of the room and everyone left.

They fired the house and left.

By doing this they thought everything will be alright.

But while fire was spreading inside the house, a dark hole appeared inside the house and dragged Khalid's mother's body and the body of the naked knight inside the darkness.

The whole house was burning and in the middle of it, a dark shadow was standing. It looked like it is a shadow of a woman.

The Shadow woman muttered,

"Seems like it's happening finally. It's my time to play my role. I will make a great king. It will be the birth of the great king as you predicted, Evil Lord-sama."

After a while, the shadow vanished.

In the Night month of the year 986, the whole second prince army was singlehandedly destroyed by the crown prince faction.

After that, in the DragonHorn month, the crown prince officially crowned as a 35th king of the Ethereal Kingdom.

They forced whole kingdom to celebrate this event. But they didn't knew that, he will be the last King of the Ethereal kingdom.
