Chereads / King Astraea / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: The Rebellion

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: The Rebellion

We had Justin wrap up the commander as the rest of us rescued the girls and took back the stolen goods.

"Stop stooopppp!" the commander screams.

"You're in no condition to order people," Justin says happily, while torturing the commander.

"Thank you so much, Aurora!" Trisha says as I help her out of the cage.

Veronica sighs, "We were too careless and let down our guard."

Suddenly, we hear the commander scream from below.

"Wait you guys are the knights from 1969!"

"Pfft! He just found out now?!" Veronica laughs.

Gavin's village prepared a feast for us. Another feast…

"We're so grateful, thank you so much!" the villagers thank us, ignoring the red eye.

They're crying tears of joy as they reunite with their family.

King and I smile sadly. He comes over to hug me. Both of us lost our family when they wanted to take us for the experiments.

Gavin suddenly quiets down, "Say, if our village is in this state, there are also other villages that are suffering too right?"

"Probably," his wife says.

"I think we should revolt…this is wrong. King Astraea was way more fair; too bad he was murdered."

King gestures to talk, but I shake my head.

"I think we should join the revolt," Justin says suddenly.

"Are you sure?" I ask seriously.

"Yeah," he responds.

"Very well then… we should join."

I turn to the rest of the group and they all nod. The village head nods too.

"We can set the first base in our village," he volunteers, "Does anyone have any objections?"

No one says a word. What a nice village, I guess everyone was affected by the Royal Guards' orders.

"P-p-please allow us to join you!" a voice comes through.

It was a captured guard from the base.

"Why would we trust you?" Jason asks suspiciously.

"P-please… I'm Lyon from Helm Town. I couldn't stand up to w-what they said, b-but I would like to protect my village too. What they're doing is wrong!"

"How can we trust you?" Veronica asks, "Prove yourself."

A girl speaks up, "Please trust him and the three behind him. While I was captured, they sneaked food for me and the other girls."

The girls behind nod.

"Okay then, can we have you four protect this village?"

They nod happily, "Leave it to us!"

That was the start of our rebellion against Dylan.
