"Why? Why my king, why did you abandon me? I thought we were always in love! We swore an oath! We even have 102 babies waiting for us at home! Are you really so heartless to abandon us?" After being parried, her body was repelled backward. The tears flowed unchecked down her furry cheeks. She was too sad to cry out or wail. Feeling betrayed, she just stood there as still as a statue while the magnitude of her loss swept over her.
'Wtf, 102? I'm sure now, this is the wife of the rabbit I've killed' "I've already said, your king is dead! I've killed him a few days back, I can assure he stills loves you...(excluding the fact that he cheated on you... for me)"
"Really? Does he still lo-loves me? You are not lying, right? You sure you are not him?"
"Yes! For the last time, I'm not him! Now then, you must have wanted to revenge for him, come on, let's fight already!"
'Then I'm relieved... That bastard never betrays me. Now, come to think of it, this bird guy here is quite handsome. I wonder what our offsprings would be like. 🤭' "Be my new king, all my babies will be to your calling. Our rabbit family is one of the biggest population family here, you can enjoy your life here in luxury. We just need to make a blood oath, that we would love each other until one of us is dead."
'You don't say! 102 offsprings! Do all rabbits change this fast?!? Look at her idiotic in love expression!' The 180 degrees change in her reaction left Lucas speechless, how thick must one's skin or fur be to be so shameless?
'Seriously? Don't the handsome and the beauty always gets whatever they want, I learned it the hard way in my previous world!'
"Fine, let's make the oath fast and get it over with" Lucas replied lazily.
"Really? Are you willing to be my king? I'm so happy! Let's make it now!" she extended her left paw and poke it with her claws on the right. "Come! You too!"
Lucas walks forward and pokes his finger with the sphere, they then place their bleeding hands together. 'I hope I don't get rabies from this...'
"Yes! I will give you the role of the king now! Let's go to underground burrows now! It's only 10 meters away! I promise that you would be amazed at your kingdom!" After saying that, a light erupted from her horn and went into Lucas's forehead which then forms a white rabbit's tattoo before disappearing like it never existed in the first place.
'Ha! What a foolish rabbit, now that I have the king position, You don't have a use anymore. Who would want a love that is so fickle? ' since he was close enough, within an arm's length away, he immediately extends his claws and started to attack the love-immersed rabbit.
'Yes! Successful sneak attack! Argh!!!' Just as he was smirking inside his heart, he was assaulted by a serious headache which made him lose all his energy and fell to the ground.
...
"Why? Why are you so stubborn? Did you only make an oath to steal the royal position from me? This is what you get to break a blood oath! Feel the pain! Ha! I will use the oath to torture you to death before I die!" the rabbit was also lying helplessly on the ground, but a smile of victory was on her face 'My king, sorry that I even thought of cheating on you. I will unite with you soon after I kill this bastard for you.'
"You don't hurt my brother!" while the battle was on a standstill, one was being tortured to death, while the other bleeds to death, Little Snow finally emerges from the bushes. Seeing her brother being hurt, she was enraged, she immediately went to the rabbit and starts clawing recklessly. *swipe* *swipe* slices of meat and blood could be seen flying, ending the miserable life of the rabbit.
It was not long after that the pain slowly subsides. "Wow! I did not expect an oath to be so serious! Luckily we said, love till one of us dies, not forever, else I would have to live with that pain forever since I can't die. Thanks, Little Snow, you saved me there." Lucas slowly seats up and starts to pat Snow's head again, she seems to enjoy that a lot.
"Big brother is saved... Big brother won't leave me...😭" bawling her eyes out, the timid tiger ran to hug his muscular figure "Don't scare Little Snow like that! Little Snow doesn't want to lose brother!"
"Don't worry Little Snow, big brother won't die so easily. Let's keep this for tomorrow's breakfast and go visit the rabbit's den. The horned rabbits are quite big, I'm sure their kingdom would be big as well" he replied with a cheerful smile. "Hey, Little Snow, you want to fly? Come here, I will carry you to the den."
"Wha~ So~ High~" Snow's enjoying the scenery while being hugged by Lucas, this will definitely be one of the most memorable moments they have had together. Lucas is also enjoying this, he had tried skydiving with his family before, so he could pretty well deal with the height. He was even more confident now as he could control his wings like any limbs he had.
...
"Oh? It should be around here somewhere... ah, nevermind, let's lend first" *glide* *flap* *flap* He landed gracefully and place the cub on the floor.
"Who's there? To dare invade our rabbit's territory!" seeing an unknown creature landing in front of the entrance, the two guards immediately readied their horns to prepare for a fight.
'What should I do now? Let's just go with the flow...' "Audacious! Is this how you speak to your king? Bow down this instance!"
'King? Has our king finally cultivate into a human?' They focus their gaze on Lucas's head where the rabbit's tattoo appears again, seems like only the rabbits can see that tattoo, Snow did not see anything.
"Apologies my King, we deserve death, please grant us your punishment." The two rabbits immediately fell to the ground trembling.
"It's ok, you are forgiven, lead us in." relieved, one of the guards immediately burrow the ground to reveal a flight of stairs that leads underground.
"Congratulations to my king in obtaining a human form, the queen is worried sick and went out to look for you."
"I did not obtain a human form, I'm a human, to begin with. Your previous king and queen are both killed by me, what do you want to do now?" Although he knows that it is stupid to say this in the enemy's territory, he learned from the system that with the sigil, all rabbits would have to make a new loyalty oath to the owner or face death. His playful side makes him want to see how the rabbits would react serving another species as their king.
"... This humble servant swears loyalty to the new king. This humble will announce this news to others and hold an accession ceremony" as expected, all the rabbits are thick-skinned, they could adapt to changes well.
Rabbits have great hearing skills, the news is soon spread throughout the kingdom. Meanwhile, Lucas and Snow were escorted to the royal room. Although it was underground, it was not as dark as the cave, there are many glowing crystals laying around to provide sufficient lighting to the place. The previous queen was not lying when she said they have one of the largest population, the whole place is filled with rabbits, kit or adult. The place is also really large to accommodate this huge population, it could be comparable to the size of a country. Well, since they lived underground, there is still much room for expansion.
In the royal room, there is a huge cotton bed which is definitely more comfortable than those mosses in the cave. Snow immediately went to jump and bounce on the bed "So bouncy! Big Brother, I love it here!"
Lucas also went to lay on the bed. 'Ah~ it has been a while since I sleep on a soft bed...' it's just a matter of minutes before he dozes off to wonderland.
