After driving for a few minutes, we arrived at the cave. I found this cave by chance when I was scouting the city. Good thing I found this, or they would be easily be caught in the city.
We then got out of the Humvee and went inside. The King greeted us when we entered.
"Welcome back, did you do it?"
"Uhm."
"I killed him, father."
Whoa! When I looked at the expression of the others, they were surprised. The Queen, however, was concerned for Karla, but the King looks calm.
"Good job Karla."
Surprisingly the King just praised Karla, while the Queen, however, asked Karla with concern clearly on her voice.
"A-are you ok sweetie? Killing a person is a very serious thing."
"Its ok Mom, I did it on my free will. Felix even warned me about that."
"Why did you do it then? If you know you have the decision not to do it?"
"I never learned joy because of that man. Who spread a rumor that portrayed me as a witch, a monster that will destroy Blizzon, while I was 4!
Who don't even have any experience with magic, weapons, and even the outside! Trapped in that castle knowing what would possibly happen if I go outside!"
I placed my hand on her shoulder, to help calm her down.
"Its ok Karla, the monster is gone."
And then Karla's parents hugged her.
"Its ok Karla, everyone has to make a decision. And you made yours.
"Sweetie, remember this. We are here with you.
After a few seconds of hugging, they let go of each other. Then the King asked me about the situation.
"I'll tell him, Felix."
"Ok."
Karla then told what happened at the situation of the fortress.
"What would you do now that the General is taken out?"
"I'm going to reclaim my throne."
"How?"
"By going in the city and telling them the traitor is killed."
●
We then went to the city with the Humvee, but I removed the extra seat so the others are walking beside it. Lillian driving the Humvee, Karla, the King, and the Queen on the passenger seat, While Sally is sitting on top of the roof with me in the hatch with the M134.
When we arrived at the city gate, the guards quickly halted us. all of their hands on the grip of their swords.
I then got off the hatch and let the King stand out of the hatch.
"Who are you!"
Now drawing and pointing their sword at us, while Sally and I pointed our Hk416 at them.
"I am King Rafael Winter!"
"The King! I thought you were imprisoned by the General! Get him!"
They're still under the assumption that the General is still alive.
"I quickly shot full auto on the ground.
*ratatatatatatat*
The soldier immediately halted their assault and some fell on the ground, scared by the gunshots.
Karla then got out of the Humvee with the Queen. When they saw Karla, they quickly recognized her because of her hair and eyes.
"Its the witch! Get her!"
"But I quickly pointed my HK416 at the commander.
"I won't do that if I were you."
They got the message and back off. Then the King shouted to the city guards.
"The General is dead!"
"Im-impossible! His with thousands of soldiers guarding him at Fortress Glacier!"
"Tell them, Felix."
"Its true that the General is guarded by thousands of soldiers, but I also killed 30,000 thousand of them."
"Impossible!"
When a soldier carrying a letter arrived for the commander. Right on time, the commander looked at the seal and read the contents of the letter.
"No way, you actually killed the general and the soldiers."
"So will you let us through?"
"...Yes"
"Thank you."
I then tapped the hood and walked beside the Humvee. People were surprised and curious to see a Humvee camouflage in white, rolling on the street. We then arrived at the Castle with no resistance what so ever now knowing what happened at the fortress.
The King then went to the Balcony overlooking the City and used the megaphone.
"My dear citizen! The traitorous General Clark has been dealt with!"
A crowd has now gathered in front of the castle that was opened by the Royal Guards.
"I, who was imprisoned, was saved by my daughter! Princess Karla Winter!"
Instead of applause, they were wary of Karla.
"I know that the story of the snow witch has warped your perception of my daughter, but she's my little girl! So please, forget the lies the General has told you!"
Whoa! This the first time I've seen a King bow down to his people. The crowd was stunned.
"Dad! You don't have to that!"
"Honey, please raise your head up."
Karla and the Queen worriedly spoke to the King.
"No! This is my way of repaying for not fixing this issue! I'm a useless father! *sob*"
The King was now crying.
"No your not! *sob* Dad, you may have kept me inside the castle for 6 years, but you did that to protect me, so I understand! *sob*"
"Honey, your the bravest and kindest person that I have ever known! You may have not given Karla a good childhood, but you did give her your love and protection. *sob* Your just a father who is concerned for his child."
The King, Queen, and Karla were hugging and crying to each other. Some of the people who were looking at them cried.
*clap* clap* *clapclapclapclapclap*
The crowd then started clapping to the three.
"All hale Winter!"
""All hale Winter!!""
"""All hale Winter!!!"""
And was now chanting the royal family's name over and over again, showing their support. After that, the people of Zabre City stopped discriminating against Karla.
●[Throne Room]
I was kneeling in front of the King and Queen inside their throne room
"Felix, thank you for keeping watch of my daughter."
"You're most certainly welcome King of Blizzon."
"I would also like you to send this letter and my gratitude to Hastos at the academy."
Said the Queen. So she was the one who let Karla enroll at the university.
"He will receive it when I return to Silfridria."
"Thank you."
"So Felix, about the reward for you."
"You don't have to, I just did it so I can help a friend."
Why do I feel like Karla is angry? She's staring at me intently. When I also stared back at her, she quickly faced away from me. Huh, that was weird.
"I insist, not only did you just saved me and my wife, but you also protected Karla during the attack on the University, which I will pay for the damages."
Karla told the King and Queen what happened at the University.
"I would have to ask Sir Hastos then."
"Please do."
When I look back at Karla, she was not angry anymore. But, she is talking to Sally and Lillian. I was wondering what there talking about?
"Mom, Dad, I want to ask something."
Then every hair on my body suddenly stood up! Why am I feeling nervous!?
"I-I would like to Felix to become Husband!"
"...Eh? Huuuh!?!?"
Are you serious!? How the heck do I keep getting more Fiancee!? When I look at Sally and Lillian, they just gave me a thumbs up. So that was their conversation about!?
"Congratulation sweetie! You found yourself a husband!"
"That would be good Karla."
"Wait!? You just accepted that!?"
"Yes, you have proven yourself already. So it's ok for you to take my daughter's hand in marriage."
"You will become a good husband Felix."
I scratched the back of my fox ear out of confusion.
"Is that a no?"
Karla was dejected because of my reactions.
"It's not like that! I was just surprised!"
"So you don't reject me?"
"Yes!"
Karla's expression quickly changed into joy! Hugging me, like her previous look was a lie. Wait, was that a trap!?
I really like to facepalm my self, but with Karla hugging me. What should I do?
●[3 Days Later]
After 3 days of staying in Blizzon, it was time to go home. Blizzon has a new trustworthy General, corrupt officials who helped the precious one are being hunted down, and the ruler of Blizzon is rightfully governing the country.
"Goodbye Mom, Dad!"
"Goodbye, sweetie! Take care!"
"Have a safe journey back to Silfridia."
"We will!"
We then drove back to Silfridia, home.
