Like No Royal Family Has Been There

When Allegra walked into the royal courtroom she had been confused as to why her brother has summoned her so she just decided to play along.

“Lady Allegra please step forward,” said Levi.

“You are being accused of hoarding tax money meant for the development of Dorne’s villages, do you deny it?” asked Levi,

“Yes I do my king” replied Allegra.

Antonio was as shocked as Allegra if not more but still, he would never have denied the claims as blatantly as Allegra did because he understood Levi always had Facts and evidence before he accused someone of anything.

While Allegra was still keeping up her brave face, she saw minister Makari bring up the parchment which both she and he had signed on to not disclose her hoarding of tax and in exchange, he got fifteen per cent of the money.

“Is this your signature Lady Allegra?” asked Levi to Allegra.

“It is my king” replied Allegra.

“Advisor Antonio, did you know anything about this?” questioned Levi,

“Yes my King” replied Antonio, he didn’t even bother lying, as it was of no use.

“Still you can’t do anything about it because cases of royal members involve not only the king but also the Supreme house, and I do not see them here,” said Allegra and as if on par, a guard came to report saying,

“The Supreme house members are here milord” that sentence was enough to send all of Allegra’s brave walls crumbling down, like they were never there, to begin with.

“Good morning my King”, chorused the Supreme members

"Morning to you all” replied Levi

“I believe the verdict has already been passed, so is there anything you would like to say in your defence to these allegations lady Allegra and advisor Antonio?” asked Selina the leader of the Supreme house.

Allegra was too stunned to speak while her husband was more than ashamed to utter a word. Levi soon called in the royal guards to take both Allegra and her husband to the dungeon with ministers Makari and Fegural.

Allegra was not willing to follow the guards but kept ranting about being of royal blood and not meant to be locked up in some filthy dungeon, then Levi replied to her.

“It is not like no royal family has been there,” said Levi, before leaving.

The supreme house soon left the scene that Allegra had caused.

Arishem sat behind the doors of his bathroom, as pain wrecked his little body and more blood left his system.

The two years old prince had never experienced this severe pain, causing a single tear drop, to run down his cheek.

And when he opened his eyes, they were jewelled black.

Arishem felt the pain become numb and soon, the feeling of pain became non-existent.

Not fully understanding what had just happened, Arishem went back into his room.

In hell, where the air was stifling, the floors made of clean white marbles had been smeared with thick red blood which was being cleaned by the lowly reapers of hell, the walls were painted red, the statues of people who were turned to stone were placed as trophies along the hallway which led to the master’s chambers.

Magnus made his way through, and on getting close to his master’s room, he saw the gatekeeper of hell who gave him a pitiful stare with a wicked smirk lingering on his face.

Immediately Magnus was invited into his master’s room, fell on his knees and pleaded for his master to forgive him for breaking his spiritual form.

Then, his master said something he would have never imagined to hear, he said,

“I forgive you Magnus only because you have served me loyally and honestly”.

Magnus was so happy he shed some tears and kept thanking his master until he heard master say,

“Was that what you expected me to say? Once again you have disappointed me Magnus and I believe you deserve a befitting punishment.

Go and prepare for tomorrow you will have to take down Goro the strongest specie of the giant demons. If you win you will be granted another chance and if you loose of course you die in the hands Goro. Leave now Magnus and prepare for what’s to come”.

Magnus soon left his master’s chambers.

Azazel yes that was the name of the first celestial who developed greed for worship and curiosity for humanity he is the current forever ruler of hell the devil, Magnus’ master.

Magnus had gone to his chambers filled with anxiety and the fear of being killed tomorrow, but whatever the outcome was he knew his master Azazel would never let him be killed but still, he started to prepare for the fight tomorrow.

Magnus sharpened his claws, tested his pthe power of inducing pain, and worked more on his skill to apparate and disapparate within a second. When Magnus was done he decided to take a rest.

Finally, the day of Magnus fighting tournament had arrived.

In the tournament the fighting pit was like black clouds as though you were floating in the air and not walking on land, there were skulls of defeated demons hanging on what looked like bones stuck in the walls, then Azazel who was standing on the platform of judgement spoke,

“My faithful servant here has decided to battle Goro if he wins, he gets another chance to be alive and of course, if he doesn’t win he loses to death.

Begin the tournament now Flamer the torturer” said Azazel. And soon came in Goro looking almighty and more ferocious than any living beast, while Magnus came in looking calmer than he had ever been in his entire existence even Azazel was surprised that he couldn’t hear Magnus’ heart beating in fear but completely relaxed.

Magnus himself didn’t know why he was calm, it was probably the feeling of knowing he was going to die.

The first fight began and Magnus rushed towards Goro to damage him with his claws which didn't work because the gigantic demon had deflected the attack and kicked Magnus in his chest which left him wheezing for air.

Magnus tried inducing pain in Goro but for some unknown reason, it wasn’t working today.

The giant came at Magnus but Magnus apparated from where he stood to appear behind Goro and then used his gifted abilities to strike him.

And when nothing worked, Magnus soon realized that what he had attacked, was not Goro but Goro’s shadow but it was too late as Goro slammed him from behind.

Magnus wondered since when giant demons had the power of apparition.

The fight went on until Magnus was laying almost dead in the fighting pit.

And when Goro was about doing final justice to his soul Azazel wanted to stop him but at the very same moment, every demon including Azazel saw Magnus rise from the pit and his eyes were no longer red, they were sparking blue like they could cause lightning to strike causing eeven the Goro to stand terrified.

With that, Magnus brought out a lightning whip from his hand, struck it at Goro, divided him in two, and vanquished the body to flames.

Now, Azazel knew why he chose Magnus as his servant, it was because Magnus was blessed.

********

Back at the castle, Elena had just finished with the seamstress who was to sew new dresses for her, and had gone to check on Arishem.

Arishem, who was calmly laying on his bed, saw his mother walk into his room.

Elena went to pick up Arishem with a bright smile on her face.

“Moma, me,” said Arishem to his mother while pointing at his chest as tears soon clouded his eyes again.

“Hold on my love I’ll go get the physician now” said Elena to Arishem.

She walked down the stairs as quickly as she could, with Arishem in her arms, heading towards the royalcourt whilst trying not to panic.
