Maya, Alyra, and Dye ended their morning training, so they want to rest, they walked to the hostel and when they were in the hostel they began to talk before entering their rooms
Maya makes a happy face and tells them " Ok, I think I can make a breakthrough today, my body has become stronger than before, thanks to you Dye "
Dye makes a sweet smile " Hehe, I think you can make it, why don't you try to Alyra? you maybe can do it this time " Dye turns to see Alyra with a small smile
Alyra makes a sad smile as she says " I will try, but I doubt that I can do it "
Maya pats her shoulder and says with a smile " You should try at least, let's go to our rooms, we need to seclude ourselves "
" I will stay here just in case someone of the person of the hostel tries to enter your rooms " Said Dye with a smile she leans on the wall next to her room while Maya and Alyra entered their respective rooms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Shakhtar's kingdom castle, a group of young women arrived after climbing the long wide stairs. They are three women of the same size (around 1.70) wearing the same style of armor. The armors are small and only protects some places like her chests stomachs and knees, they wear black clothes under their armor and short black skirts with black metallic plates on them, all of them have metallic boots but they carry different weapons
They were walking to the castle in a triangular position. The two women that are walking behind look around 24 and 25 years old, the older one has a very voluptuous body and long brown hair tied in a side ponytail, she has yellow eyes and red lips, and she is beautiful with a mole under her right eye and long eyelashes, she is carrying a long blue spear on her shoulder
The younger one is an elf girl, she has short platinum hair tied in a ponytail with some strands of hair at both sides of her head, her body doesn't equal her face, she has a thin body but she is very beautiful with emerald eyes and rosy lips, she has small pointed ears and a bow on her back she is smiling watching the landscape of the castle
The woman who was walking in front was different from the other two, she looks around 25 years old and had a curvy body, she had long blond hair with a few strands of her hair in front of her face, she has purple eyes and a very beautiful face she is even more beautiful than the other two but she has a disinterested look on her face, she has a sword on her back, the sword is black with some details in red
They walked until they were in front of the castle gates and when the knights that were guarding the entrance saw them walking towards them, they opened the gates without asking them anything, then they passed beside them without saying a word
The three women walked until they entered the castle without being stopped by anyone, then the woman who was guiding the other two started to run to some wide stairs with a very happy smile on her face leaving the other two behind with wry smiles on their faces
" Here we go again " Said the woman with the spear as she smiles and shakes her head
The woman with the bow covers her mouth with her left hand and chuckles " Hehe, she really missed him "
The woman with the spear makes a small smile as she says " Well, at least now we don't have to hear how much she missed him every moment of the day "
The woman with the bow makes a sweet smile as she says " Violet will never change "
The woman with the spear laughs happily " Haha, yes let's wait for her in that living room " She points to a room with various red luxurious couches near the stairs where Violet disappeared
The woman nods with a smile " Okay, but something is strange, I can't feel Anthony's energy in the castle, he should be here around this time, well, that's what Violet said "
The woman with the spear was surprised then she makes an annoyed face " Really, oh no, now we are going to have to search for him in the entire kingdom "
" Hehe, let's wait until she returns " Said the woman with the bow with a sweet smile and they waited in the wide living room while the woman named Violet was running in a long hallway, she was running with a cheerful smile until she arrived at a wooden door, there she stopped and brushed her long blonde hair then she enters without knocking speaking with a soft sweet voice " Anthony, I'm here, I missed you so much " and when she saw the elegant empty room the smile on her face vanished ' Where is he? ' then she closes the door and walks towards a nearby maid and with a calm voice she says " You know where is the prince Anthony, he should be in his room at this time of the day "
The maid shivers with surprise and with a nervous voice she says " M-My lady, Prince Reid told us that the moment we see you we need to tell you that he wants to meet with you "
Violet makes a calm face as she heard the maid then she asked " I don't care if that bastard wants to see me, I want to know where is Anthony, so, you are going to tell me right now where is he " Violet shows the maid a beautiful smile
Despite Violet's smile she is releasing a great killing intent towards the maid making her shiver in fear, the maid takes a few steps back, and with a trembling voice she says " P-p-prince Reid wants to talk about him, i-i-it seems that is something very important "
The killing intent disappears as Violet frowns then she asks " Where is he? "
The maid bows her head and says " T-The prince is in the throne room "
Violet is surprised then she makes a face of doubt " The throne room? what is he doing there? what happened to the King? "
The maid responds with a nervous voice " T-The king is sick right now so he is resting, in the meantime, p-prince Reid is taking care of the kingdom "
Violet makes an angered face and yells " What!? That's Anthony's job! He is the crown prince! Not that disgusting bastard! " then Violet turns around with an angered face leaving the scared maid behind, she went back to then enters the living room where the two women that were with her and when they saw her angered face they stand up with serious faces
" Is everything alright Violet? " Asked the woman with a spear with a concerned expression
Violet shakes her head and turns to see the woman with the bow with a serious expression " Alessia, can you feel Anthony's presence in the castle? "
Alessia shakes her head and says " I haven't sensed him since we arrived, I'm sure that he is not here "
Violet frowns and turns around " Then, what that maid say was right, I have to go to see that pig, he knows where is he "
" Do you mean Reid? why? " The woman with the spear asked with doubt
Violet doesn't turn around as she says " He knows where is Anthony, at least that's what I think, anyway let's go to the throne room, one more thing Rose, Alessia, be ready to fight, I don't trust that a**hole " then Violet starts to walk
" Ok " Alessia and Rose responded with a serious face
They walked on the castle until they arrived at a wide and tall two-door entrance, the doors are made of brown wood and each door has a carved horse standing on two legs
Violet pushes the two big doors at the same time, opening them then they walked inside the throne room. From the entrance, the throne room looks long with various white columns on each side, beside each column there are knights with complete silver armor and long swords there must be 16 knights there, 2 for each column. There is a red carpet too it guides to the other side of the room to short white stairs where the throne is located above them. The throne is golden with some precious stones of different colors on the top, there a young man with elegant white clothes was sitting, he was laying his head on his left fist watching Violet and his group with an emotionless face, that young man was the prince Reid
Violet frowns seeing his face despite he looks exactly like Anthony, then she and her group approached him until they were a few meters near the stairs
Prince Reid stands up and walks near the edge of the stairs and with a serious face he says " Good to see you, Violet, Rose, Alessia "
Violet makes a cold face as she says " Cut the crap, where is Anthony? I know you know where is he "
Reid bows his head and sighs then he makes a sad face saying " He... he died in a quest yesterday "
Violet shivers as she opens her eyes with surprise she even turns pale, Alessia and Rose watch her with faces full of worry
Violet bows and shakes her head slowly, saying again and again " No.. no.. " then she grits her teeth and turns to see Reid with a face full of hatred as tears start to fall from her beautiful face " You are lying... YOU ARE LYING!! " and in a blink, she runs towards Reid and grabs him from the neck raising him
" Argh! " Reid makes a pained expression and the knights on the pillars began to move " Protect the prince! "
Alessia takes out the bow from her back in a quick movement she aims the bow towards the knights on the left and pulls the string without an arrow " Magic Arrow: Multiple Shot! " a golden light takes the shape of an arrow and she shoots the arrow, the arrow travels one meter and then it divides in 8 more arrows that pierced the knights' knees " Ack! " the knights fall after the shot
Rose takes out her spear and spins it then she sees the knights on the right but before they arrived to attack her the prince stops them yelling in a weak voice " Stay...back... "
Violet keeps strangling him as Reid sees her with a pained expression " Hear me... first... Violet... "
Violet sees him with a very angered expression as her grip gets stronger " You bastard, you think that I didn't know that you wanted him dead, I'm sure that you are just lying to make me leave and then kill him, but no... I maybe turn into a fugitive after this but I'm gonna kill you right here right now "
Reid grabs Violet's arm trying to make her stop but at the same time, he moves her eyes to his left side making someone yell " Violet! stop, he wasn't the one who caused Anthony's dead! "
Violet turns to see to her right with a surprised face and says " Joseph? " then she releases Reid making him fall on his knees to cough a few times and when he was seeing the floor he can't help to smile coldly
Violet smiles nervously at Joseph " What do you mean, Joseph? Anthony, Anthony is alright, he is just lying like he always does "
Joseph bows his head and with a sad voice he says " I'm sorry Violet but he is telling you the truth, he didn't do anything to kill him, Anthony died fighting a giant Death Worm "
" ....!? " Violet shivers again making a very surprised face " It can't be... " After that, she falls to her knees and starts crying without making any sounds
Joseph sees her and bites his lip, then he keeps talking " But that was the fault of another adventurer he was too weak for the quest, and still, he went despite our warnings, so when that giant Death Worm appeared Anthony sacrificed his life for him, you know Anthony, he always helped the weak but this time the cost was his life "
Violet has an empty face full of tears " .... " after a few minutes she sees Joseph with a cold face and says " Where is that guy? "
Alessia and Rose seeing them from the start felt pity for their partner, but Alessia had the feeling that something is wrong, so she approaches Violet to pat her back and say softly " Violet, calm down we can't rush things "
Violet turns to see her with dead eyes and says " Shut up " Alessia is surprised then Violet stands to ask Joseph again " Where is he? "
Joseph has his head still bowed when he says " We don't know, he disappeared after the attack of that Death Worm but their partners are still in the kingdom, maybe they know where is he "
Reid stops smiling and stands up seeing Violet with a serious face then he says " You see, I was right maybe we weren't the best brothers but I never tried to kill him "
Violet sees him with a cold face " Shut up! you take me for a stupid, I know all of your shames towards him, let me tell you something the only reason that you are still alive right now is thanks to him, he never tried to kill you and he stopped me from doing it " Reid keeps his calm face but mentally he was grinning coldly ' Then, why you strangle me before you unreasonable b*tch? soon you and your partners will be mine too '
Violet turns to see Joseph and says with a cold voice " Where are they? "
Joseph keeps his head bowed and Reid responded instead " I know where they are, I was planning to arrest them to interrogate them, I and the captain will go with you "
Violet sees him with dead eyes and a frowning expression then she says " You better not be lying "
Reid shakes his head and says " No, let's go to the entrance the captain will wait for us there " Then he turns to see Joseph with a calm face " Joseph you can leave now, your family is waiting for you "Then Reid begins to walk
Joseph bows grinding his teeth then he turns around and leaves from where he came, Violet didn't even glance at him she only walks behind Reid with Rose and Alessia a few steps behind them. Alessia apologizes to the injured knights and the knights shake their heads with red faces then she and Rose began to whisper to each other
Alessia has a face full of suspicion when she whispers " I don't like this, I have the feeling that something is wrong "
Rose shakes her head with a serious face and says " That doesn't matter now, Violet is our friend we have to help her"
" I know but... " Alessia was seeing the back of Reid with a frowning expression as they walked to the entrance
