Disclaimer - (Cause fanfiction is tricky ground and I hope not to offend the creator of the original story and get sued)

I do not own "The Beginning After The End", it belongs to its original creator TurtleMe. This is only a fanfiction that I was inspired to write by the original work. Please support the official release. Most of the media - such as the art and illustrations, gifs, video's, etc. used in this fanfiction - are from the web. Thus, most of them aren't mine (because I really, really can't draw) unless mentioned. To fit the story, images are also edited by various apps and websites. So they aren't mine, just edited. I get much of the text, especially the fight scenes and thought, aside from my oc's, from the original novel, which can be found on Library Novel. Still, support the official release.

Also if you own a picture or Video that I found online, and you either want your name added, or me to take it down. Please contact me and we can talk it out. P.s. I also ask that you do not copy my work and publish it onto any other website.

If you're gonna use my idea, please ask me (If you ask nicely, I for sure, will agree). If I don't contact you within a week, then just assume I'm giving you the all clear and go for it. Just remember to credit me.

I will be writing out scenes even if my Oc isn't in them. As long as she's mentioned, or influencing the characters in some way. Or maybe be because it influences the story. This may seem a bit annoying. But that's just how I write. I like to embed my characters into the story line. Because of this, most of the dialogue/scenes will come from the original work.

Only to realize they're the ones who've had your back.

{Arthur P.O.V.}

As the sword arced towards us, I noticed that it had a faint glow of mana surrounding it.

Augmenting his sword to attack two eight-year-old... this guy really showed no tact. The hood covering the guard's face was blown back as he charged towards me, revealing a rugged veteran's furious expression.

Faces of horror could be seen clearly from those around us. The Twin Horns desperately tried to make their way towards the guard when they saw him attack, to stop him from cleaving us in two. Even the King looked surprised at the unprecedented action of his guard, while the Queen had already frantically started reaching for her wand.

Morgana didn't even react. By looking at her, you could clearly see she was so done with all this. Her icy blue eyes clearly told me to just wrap this up.

'All right then, you wish is my command', I smirk.

My eyes focused back onto the guard that was about to swing down, but I was quite relaxed. Whether or not it was because he was angry, or because the training the royal guards received was mediocre, his attack was rushed and full of openings. I didn't even need to will mana into my body to deal with him. I took a step forward with my right foot as his sword swung down towards me, then reached up and grabbed the space on the grip of his sword between the cross-guard and his hand.

I proceeded to pivot on my right foot, using the momentum of his swing, while my body was parallel to the guard's. His reinforced sword whistled harmlessly through the empty space where I'd just been, creating a small fissure in the ground, and conversely embedding his sword in it. In one smooth movement, I quickly struck him in the jaw, which he hadn't bothered to guard with mana. The force of my upward punch, combined with his downward movement from his swing, created an impact much stronger than I'd expected. The guard only managed to let out a low grunt before he crumpled to the ground.

My attention immediately focused, then, to Sebastian. As I had expected, the dense fool was silently muttering a spell as his beady eyes locked intently with mine.

He lunged forward with his staff, ready to attack. But as I activated the static void, the mana disappeared.

The mage looked around in confusion. Things had lost colour. It was as if time had frozen.

Following his line of thoughts, Morgana chuckled. "It's because it has stopped. And don't even bother trying to attack. You're useless here. Spells that need mana, won't be able to work here."

Sebastian became frantic, and tried to grasp onto anything he could, "Stay back!" You think you're a match for a conjurer of the royal family?"

I walked past him calmly, "In this state? Yes."

"What?"

Then before he knew what was happening, Sebastian's leg was snapped and he had toppled over.

The man began screaming in pain, "M... My leg! Aaaaggghh! Someone help me! Why is everyone just standing there?! Can't anyone hear me?!"

I grabbed his shoulder, "No one is going to hear you, so it's best that you listen while you're still able to."

"Y-you can't do this! I'm the personal conjurer of the king himself!"

"Exactly." I turned around and glared at him, "Know your place."

{Morgana P.O.V.}

After that, Sebastian began rambling on, trying to play the victim. "Uh," I groaned, "Just shut up!" I exclaimed, kicking him straight between the legs.

The pain caused him to faint... and mercifully shut up.

Arthur winced, "Ouch."

"Oh please." I rolled my eyes, "He should be thankful these aren't three inch heels. Plus, that's what he gets for trying to take my baby away. Wait, baby? Where did that come from?!"

Arthur smiled, and looked like he was going to say something, before he started swaying on his feet, and fell.

I rushed forward, and caught him. I gently lowered both of us, as the colour began to return, and everyone began to realize something had happened.

Lilia screamed, and quickly covered Ellie's face with her body, which I was thankful for. I didn't want the little girl to see her brother like that.

I gently handed Arthur over to his parents as his mother began checking him over.

It didn't take a second longer for my mother to pull me towards her and frantically begin checking me for injuries.

I smiled at her warmly, but then narrowed my eyes as I saw the king starring Arthur down.

That's it!

This bastard is going to die by my hand!

But I was then brought back to my senses by Sylvie, who was rubbing her head against my hand, in an effort to calm me down. 'It's going to be fine.'

My eyes widened, since when can I hear her!

'Can you hear me as well?' I test out.

Sylvie nods.

Oh boy. Arthurs gonna have a real field day with this.

I smile. She may have calmed me down, but my rage was still burning.

So I calmly walked over to the king, "Your highness." I called in a sickenly sweet voice. I can't kill him right now, but no one ever said I can't mess with his head. "Let me make one thing perfectly clear. If Arthur doesn't awaken within three days. Then I will burn this kingdom to the ground. And you and your family along with it." The temperature in the room dropped several degrees. To the point frost began forming on the wall. I'll also expect a representative that you can control, to speak to us about this matter shall be settled. Understood~" She then turned to everyone in the room, the aura of a queen washing off of her in waves as she commanded, "Your all dismissed."

I'll admit, this didn't come out exactly the way I originally intended it to. So it was kind of a hot mess. Maybe somewhere down the line, I'll rewrite this chapter, and post it again as a different special chapter.

This is like half the length of one of my usual chapters, but I wanted to cut it off here so as not to take away from the impact of the scene too much.

But for the next chapter, you can expect some nice, light couple banter/teasing. And Sylvie dropping a bomb on her parents and the readers. Which will explain why some things are the way they are.

I was also really scared I ruined this for some people. So thank you to all the people who supported me, and helped take care of that fear. Thank you so much.

So here's a special little thing I edited and pulled together:
