Chereads / Madison and Mason: The Witch Hunters / Chapter 12 - Act 12: Mason's Daring Confession

Chapter 12 - Act 12: Mason's Daring Confession

Jakahara, The Walled City that it is said to be the home of the Ultimate Weapon during the Age of the Ghouls. They say that before that Dawn of the Witches, an army of Ghouls attacked the City of Shiho, rumors said that the people in that city were completely wiped out in the night by the Ghouls. The three City-States; Jakahara, Martha and Kura have joined forces in order to wipe out these beings that are raiding the other villages.

They've gathered their greatest cavalry, footmen and archers to fight the Ghouls. At first, the army has the advantage when it comes to numbers but unfortunately due to the Ghoul's superhuman strength, speed and agility, they gradually overwhelm the army of knights. Resulting from battle into a slaughtering ground.

Just as the battle came to an end, the three City-States suffered heavy losses in the battle. After several years has passed, the city had developed the first armored vehicle and powerful ranged weapons created but it was not enough until 2 years later. The City of Jakahara had made their last bet on the battle, their Ultimate Weapon: The Blood Priests.

The Blood Priests were possessed with extraordinary abilities that equaled the Ghouls easily. The Government picks up the candidates when they reached the age of 7 and they were trained in the Academy where it specializes in harnessing superhuman abilities in order to face the threat they're dealing with.

The Government of Jakahara told the other City-States about this but didn't agree because they thought that it's hopeless, so instead of sending more people in the battlefield to die, they focused their funds on building a giant wall, surrounding their city in order to protect its citizens.

After that, the city of Jakahara have continued to make and produce the Ultimate Weapon until the new Government was established. The Ultimate Weapon: The Blood Priests were no longer needed because they knew that when the day comes, the weapon they created will turn against their creators. And so, the City of Jakahara enclosed itself in the walls, hiding and defending it.

The other day - Mason woke up early and noticed something at his right side, so he peeked and saw Elena was hugging him tight, bucked naked. Mason's nose bled and gently moves away from Elena until Madison suddenly opened the door.

Madison's face became red and yelled, "Pervert!!"

Cassie woke up and went to Mason's bedroom for breakfast. When she entered Mason's room, she saw Mason's face slapped by someone else and she knew that only one person can do that. So she only ignored that but she noticed Elena was naked in his bed and glares at Mason.

Mason said to them, "Why do you glare at me so seriously? I didn't do anything to her."

Cassie trolls them and replied, "My, my how sad! I thought I'm the one who will get Mason's chastity."

Madison and Mason were shocked, but Cassie immediately told that it was a joke.

The next few hours; They started to make a plan on how to infiltrate the nest of the Ghouls but Elena immediately told them that it was too risky and Madison positively replied, "Don't worry Elena, my brother and I alone can handle an army of enemies unless it's necessary to call for help."

"You don't understand... It's not just an ordinary army we're facing but the whole colony will be waiting there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for their next victim.", Elena said.

And Cassie suggested, "Since there's 4 of us against a colony, it will be effective if we increase our numbers a bit."

Mason agreed and reminds Cassie that they should go and retrieve Cristina because he knew that Cristina alone can use magic and Madison also asked Mason that they should send a letter to the mansion to report what's been going on and he agreed.

And so, the plan is to split and make a two group: one is Mason and Cassie and the second is Madison and Elena. The objective of each group is to gather and strengthen their numbers as fast as they could. So they decided that Mason and Cassie will go to the Castle to retrieve Cristina and set her free while Madison and Elena went back to the Village of Bèlen to visit Caesar and the others in the Mansion of the Governor.

When they arrived at the gate of the castle, the guards immediately came out and quickly surrounded Mason and Cassie.

And Mason asked, "Cassie what's going on here?"

"Relax Mason, I've got this.", Cassie answered.

She talks to the guards and told them that they will be meeting with the king, but the guards refuse so and still pointing their spears to them.

Mason said to Cassie, "It's no use if we just try talking to them..."

He gently unsheathed his sword but suddenly a man appeared and commanded the guards to get back to their post. And he said to Mason and Cassie, "Looks like my guards have caused you trouble. I apologize for that, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Frank, I am the commander of these soldiers here. But let's get to the point, I heard that you want to meet the king."

Mason replied, "Yes we want to meet him because we want our friend, Cristina back."

"Friends, huh?" Frank said and laughed.

Mason asked, "What's so funny? Did I joke out something?"

Frank answered, "Nothing, nothing... I just can't believe that you're even friends with that witch." and said, "I never thought that you even tamed the beautiful and the most unreachable Casanova dela Vega. You must have such charisma to make Casanova submit to you."

Cassie suddenly flustered and shouted, "I-I didn't submit to anyone! Not even to this guy!"

Frank teases Cassie and said, "Oh? Is that right? Then why is your face red? You like him don't you? Or... Do you love him right?"

Cassie's face completely turned red and got flustered all the way and quickly told Mason, "D-don't listen to him! H-he's just making excuses..."

"It's okay... I still accept you Cassie.", Mason said.

"Really!? E-even i-if I c-confess to you? W-would you respond to it?" Cassie asked

And Mason answered, "It depends on the circumstance, but I'll try my best."

Frank interrupts the two and said, "Well, seems you're all settled but unfortunately I can't let you see the king unless necessary."

"Then it's no use talking to you.", Mason replied

And Frank suggested, "But instead of leaving why don't we make a bet."

"A bet? Fine by me but what are we betting?" Mason asked

And Frank answered, "If you win, I'll send my messenger to the king to gather a meeting that I heard about."

"And if you win?", Mason asked

"I will take Casanova from you." Frank answered with a devious smile

"Why me!? Of all the people!?" Cassie asked

Frank replied, "Why do you ask? It's because I like you... And you don't know how much pain I've felt when I noticed that you're not interested in someone but now this chance has arrived, and I will be the one to receive it and grab it."

And Mason asked, "I see, so you're already confessing to Cassie?"

Frank replied and asked, "What of it? What are you to Ms. Casanova, young man?"

Mason answered, "I'm her..."

"You're her what?", Frank asked

"I'm her LOVER! And we're already engaged!", Mason answered

Cassie suddenly got stuck up in her mind when she heard this coming from Mason while Frank, on the other hand suddenly fell on his knees, speechless, facing the ground, doesn't know what to say or what to do.

And Mason suddenly pulled Cassie to him and said, "I Love You Casanova, be my girl...", and kisses her. Cassie's face turned red and attempts to resist him but instead, she gives in because she realized that she's in love with Mason.
