His death

A sharp red arrow pierced through Louis' heart.

The assassin fled from where he was as Louis fell down.

''Louis!!'' Rezly yelled as he held his brother's head on his lap.

Bluis was in a moment of shock as witnessing such tragic incident.

''let's go to look for Raf!'' Said Bluis as Rezly's tears were falling down.

Bluis assisted Rezly,''let me put him on my back.'' Said Bluis.

''No i will do it on my own.'' replied Rezly as sobbing continued.

Bluis helped him and Rezly carried Loius on his back and started running going to look for Raf who was the only doctor there.

On their way they met 4 crown prince's soldiers.

''His highness had been attacked,surround the whole forest and look for the murder.'' Instructed Bluis as Rezly kept running.

''YES!'' Soldiers responded.

''HUMMP!!''

''HUMMP!" Horns by soldiers calling out for immediate reinforcements.

Leous, Orland and Zealous heard them and also rode back to the entrance of the Agoki forest.

As Raf was helping Nerland to get on the horse,They saw many horsemen coming<soldiers >

They halted in front of Nerland and Raf.

''What's wrong?'' Nerland asked them.

''We received a signal that there had been a problem inside of the Agoki forest.'' The soldiers bowed to him and their commander replied replied to Nerland.

''A problem?'' As Nerland was processing it, Raf Hans went on horse and rode there also.

''Hey...'' Nerland tried to call him out but he had already gone.

At the entrance of the Agoki forest,

Rezly reached there as he was carrying his brother on his back.

''Rezly.....'' a weak voice called Rezly from behind as he was running.

''Rezly.....'' It went on agian.

''Bother!'' Rezly got excited as it was Loius' voice.

''Don't worry, I will take you to young master Hans and cure you.'' Said Rezly as he was still sobbing.

''No..put me down....'' Loius requested him.

Luois' eyes were weak,they seemed like wanting to close at anytime.

''No...I will save.''

''Put me down!'' Louis insisted as his brother took him down from his back.

Loius was spitting out blood everytime.

Bluis also came after him running as the other princes were arriving.

''What happened?'' Asked Leous as he was going dowwn from the horse with other princes.

''He was attacked.'' replied Bluis.

''Have you caught the assassin?'' Asked Zealous.

''No they are still finding.''

''Don't...cry...'' Said Loius as he was raisng up his hand trying to caress Rezly's left cheek.

Rezly's sobs continued.

''Please...tell Ariel... for me... that-'' He coughed out blood.

''I am sorry...for leaving her alone..'' Loius' words were so heavy and touchful as he was shedding tears thinking that he was about to leave his wife behind.

Recently, both Raf and Nerland arrived there.

Raf went down from the horse and ran to where Loius was lying on Rezly's lap.

''Pleasee...help my brother.'' Said Rezly as he was crying out.

Rezly checked on Loius pulse to feel the heart.

''No need...'' Loius said to Raf.

He stared at Raf as Raf also stared at him.

''I know that i won't surive this.'' 

He looked up in the sky.

Loius closed his eyes,

<My time has come.>

He closed his eyes as the last tear drops fell all ove his cheeks.

Loius' heart stopped beating.

''His royal highness the crown prince had passed away.'' announced Raf Hans as he stood up.

''Nooo it can't be...'' Rezly cried out

''You can't leave me hereee, noooo come back!!''

''Brotherrrr!!!!!!''

''Loiusssssssss! you promised that after this we were going to have a feast, why are leaving before the feast..''

Rezly's voice was full of sadness and pain.

The other princes were also hurt even though they were after his position.

Nerland also shed off tears as he looked behind and went on his horse.

At the palace,

The emperor received the news about his son's death as the cup of tea which was in his hand fell down as he couldn't believe his ears.

Western quarters,

Her majesty the empress was crying out loud calling out his son's name in dispair unable to handle it.

Easter quarters,

Going to the Agoki forest where the soldiers were searching all over looking for the assassin,

They saw a man lying down.

At the day of the furneral,

The whole palace and nobles had to dress in white is a way of respecting the deceased expressing their wishes of eternal peace to him.

The members of the royal shrine were the hosts of the funeral.

The 4 elders of the shrine had surrounded Loius' coffin as they were offering prayers and blessing it to the after life.

After the funeral, next day, there had to be a grand audience of the king with the officials and the leaders of the royal shrine in order to assign the crown prince.

''Grace to the empire, blessed Emperor!'' All of them bowed and greeted him. 

The emperor was no longer in a good mood since the loss of his first born.

He sat on his majestic chair and the royal court meeting started.

"Minister of justice?" His majesty called him out.

Minister of justice went out from his line and went in the middle where emperor would see him properly.

"Her I am your majesty!"

"How far are you with the investigation?" Emperor asked him 

"The suspected culprit took his own life at the scene so we are still trying to figure out any clues." Minister of justice responded to his majesty.

"Your majesty!" Grand general Rionsis called out his majesty capturing everyone's attention.

"Do you have something to say?" His majesty asked him.

Grand general Rionsis went where minister of justice was.

"I beg you to charge Prime minister Hans and Duke of Danford's sons for their ignorance"
