As her arm was extended towards the door knob. She looked back at the prince's and the fellow knights knowing exactly what was behind that door as she had witnessed what Ringo and Ballinamore had done. The boys were unaware that a witnessed had seen them committing a crime as they thought that everyone was already out the castle, but Ren had returned as she had forgotten a picture of her and her mother who had recently passed away. She hurried back to retrieve it and that's when she witnessed Ringo stabbing the king while Ballinamore watched the man fall to his knees as blood began to stain his clothes. She tried to hide in the shadows knowing that they would kill her if they caught her. She waited trying to hold back tears and once she knew they were out the tunnel she ran towards her trying not to be seen by them. Once she grabbed it she was about to run out, but that's when she heard their voices walking in the hall so she hid in her room until they were gone.
The Memories lingered in her mind as she stood their in front of the king's office. She was scared, not wanting to see the horrible scene that would be revealed behind those doors. But she knew that she had to suck it up and show them what they wanted so she slowly placed her hand on it, turning it hearing the click as it was unlocked. She then pushed it open causing the door to creak slightly, all the lights were turned off she hesitated at the entrance wanting to turn around and run but was to scared to move. It was as if her feet were frozen to the ground and that's when Logan moved her carefully to the side realizing that the girl was scared to enter. Upon being moved she was brought back from her thoughts seeing the confused looks on the knights. Thinking how suspicious she looked in that moment only sent more fear to her. Then Logan ignored the woman reaction walking directly to the chair that was facing the window behind it. He had noticed that something was off and the King did not say a single word so he drew his sword before arriving to the chair. Turning it slowly with the tip of his sword to reveal a dead king with a sword stuck in his chest. Ren was shocked by the scene the most as she immediately turned her body away and ran towards the nearest trash can puking her guts out. As she had never seen a dead body before. She was to scared to attend her mother's funeral as she didn't want to ruin the image of her mother that she had.
Logan then raised his sword striking the King's head serval times causing blood to splash on his face making him look crazy, but he did it to remove it from the rest of the body. He wanted to display it to prove to the town folks how much of a coward their king was that he didn't even face them he went out by stabbing himself instead. He threw it to Francis to scare him, which led to him dropping it by accident. He picked it up handed it to Loki to place it on a stake outside the castle to show them proof of his death. They then ordered the rest of the knights to ride their horses around the town announcing the death of the king, and that they would do a speech soon at the castle for all to show up and witness their old king and for them to welcome their new lords.
"THE KING IS DEAD, ALL MUST COME TO THE CASTLE A SPEECH WILL BE HELD SOON", it was screamed all throughout the houses and business but the masked knights. Causing all the folks to exit their homes and see what exactly is going on. They soon all made their way to the castle. Upon arriving they were all left in shock as their King head was on display on a stake. Most of the woman were left weeping and all the children were left traumatized of the horrible scene. Most of the men were either scared or angry as they new what was to come. Suddenly Logan and Francis exited out a room glass doors to the balcony that was above the crowd. Francis stepped first preparing to tell his speech.
GOOD AFTERNOON LADIES AND GENTALMAN I AM THE FRIST PRINCE, PRINCE FRANCIS AND THIS IS MY YOUNGER BROTHER PRINCE LOGAN WE ARE THE SONS OF QUEEN MORRIGAN WHICH I'M SURE YOU HAVE ALL HEARD ABOUT HER. BUT WE HAVE DEFEATED YOUR ALMIGHTY KNIGHT MIKLAUS AS WE SPEAK HE IS ON HIS WAY TO ALEINVA EMPIRE THAT IS WHERE WE CALL HOME. YOUR KING HERE UNFORTUNATELY TOOK HIS OWN LIFE AWAY INSTEAD OF CONFRONTING US. WHICH IS A SHAME OF COURSE AS I WANTED TO BE THE ONE TO TAKE HIS LIFE, BUT EITHER WAY THE JOB WAS DONE SAVING US TIME. BUT AS I WAS SAYING YOUR KING IS DEAD AND YOUR ARMY WAS DEFEATED BY US, SO THIS LAND AND THE PEOPLE RESIDING HERE NOW BELONG TOO ALEINVA EMPIRE. Upon saying that Loki changed the Fallen Kingdom national flag to Aleinva national flag. Shock was heard throughout the town folks which caused Francis to chuckle.
Some of the men tried to start a revolution as they did not take a liking to Francis, but the knights held their swords to the men's throats only sending more fear to them which caused them to back down.
PRESENT TIME
So grandpa the knights along with the prince's took over the land? Asked Fort with a innocent face.
Yes that is true, but the towns people did not like them at all they tried to start a revolution. All of the attempts were stopped immediately by the strong knights as they swore to protect Aleinva's lands from any enemies no matter who they were. I think this is a good place to stop as it is getting late, I don't want your parents to be upset and not allow me to continue the story. So let's go ahead and head to out rooms and have the maids prepare our baths so that we can sleep all warm and cozy.
Grandpa do we really have to go to sleep? Tomorrow we have lessons and won't be able to to hear your story till after lunch. Reyna said with a disappointment look on her face.
It shall be okay I promise to tell you so juicy details tomorrow okay. The grandfather said as he gave a soft smile to the children. Reyna then raised her pinky finger to make her grandfather promise. "Do you pinky promise Grandpa", she said sounding so sweet. " Of course I pinky promise", he said as he locked pinky fingers with the small child. Then the maids all walked in taking the children's hands as they led them too their rooms to prepare for sleep. The Grandfather sat their only thinking to himself wondering how he got so lucky to still be alive to see his family expand. He didn't want to reveal that he was becoming sicker by each passing day as he didn't want his family to worry about him. He sat their peacefully closing his eyes, only to get startled by his son as he entered the library.
What are you doing in here father, shouldn't you be heading to bed as well? Percy asked as he looked at his father concern showing in his eyes.
I am, I'll head out soon I promise. Now let me sit here enjoying the peace and quiet. He demanded in a soft tone looking out the window as he sat on the chair near it.
Percy then walked out the room without realizing what was happening to his father at that moment.
