The wanted poster says :
"Dead or alive The reaper of Hoggler , wanted for conspiracy , murder and treason against our blessed Kingdom , 500000 Drezas "
"My bounty keeps going higher and higher , yet no one seeks it , maybe notoriety is a good thing after all . "
Kiro continues his way to Menal's Castle . On his way he feels a strange touch behind his back . He turns back and sees nothing .
-Bloodlust .
Kiro's eyes turn pitch black , but they weren't visible as they were covered by the helmet . A man was running not far away from Kiro .
"I thing I just got pick pocketed "
-Time leap
The time slows down , Kiro chases the almost motionless thief and quickly reaches him . The time goes back to normal . Kiro grabs his arm and drags him to alleyway .
-Let me go you filthy knight !
Kiro drags him to the alleyway and says :
-You have something that belongs to me , give it back .
The thief reaches his pocket and pulls out the dagger
-Alright then , Here you have it scumbag !
The thief tries to attack Kiro with the dagger
-Bad move , Time leap
The time slows down once again , Kiro dodges the attack and kicks the thief in the head as hard as he could . The time goes back to normal , the thief collapses to the ground splattering blood all over the ground . He coughs blood but surprisingly he stands up :
-I better die than go to jail again
The thief charges once again but this time with inhumane speed . He aims for the throat but Kiro dodges resulting on Kiro's helmet to fall .
-You scumbag !
-It's...it's you ..... The reaper .
-You saw my face , I gave you a chance
Kiro draws his sword , but then , two guards appear out of the blue .
-Get down .
The thief tackles Kiro to the ground .
-What was that ?
-A cat , maybe a dog , I would not waste time on checking it out .
The guards move along , then the thief says :
-That was close .
-What do you think you are doing ?
-Honor among thieves still exist , besides , taking out that scum Aldrich means a lot .
-Can you give me my dagger back ?
-Of course
The thief hands Kiro the dagger then says .
-You are a wanted man , what are you doing in the capital ?
-Can't you appreciate the fact that I let you live?
-As you wish mate , name's Alarico , at your service .
-I don't have time to waste , tell anyone I'm here and you're a walking corpse .
-I sure got the message the time I saw your face .
Kiro gets out of the alleyway
-Wait
-What is it now ?
-I wanted to thank you for another deed you have done , If I'm right , you are the one who killed Brogg the butcher .
"Isn't it the bastard that tortured me ?"
-If he got out of jail , I would sure be a dead man , I'm at your debt .
Kiro walks away without saying a word .
"A dead body at the alleyway sure is visible , it would just get me into more trouble , Besides , I don't think he's that kind of person that would trust the guards anything .
Kiro continues his way to the castle . Time passes . Kiro finds himself at the front gates . A guard approaches Kiro :
-May I know the reason that brings you here my sire ?
-I have been summoned , I must meet Count Calhoun Eis Hounderthel at once .
-I see sire , you shall pass the gates .
The guards open the gates to the castle . The castle was heavy guarded by royal knights .
"Just imagine if I weren't disguised by one of them , this would be a pain in the ass "
Kiro enters the castle , the hall was gigantic .
-Let's see , Bloodlust
Kiro's eyes turn pitch black , three floors upstairs he sees a man , tall and slender carrying a strange light around his neck .
"This must be him"
Kiro quickly heads to the stairs . He climbs them as fast as he could then he hears :
-Knights , assemble !
Knights run towards the hallway and one approaches Kiro saying :
-Are you deaf ! The king need us !
"The king , after all this time , I get to meet the bastard who runs this damned country ?"
-Quick , move !
Kiro follows the knights , which lead him to the King's hall . Before Kiro stands a man , not too old , nor too young , at his left side stands Orien , and in his right side stands Kiro's own nemesis , Lyden.
"Making a move now doesn't sound like a good idea , I don't even know how many of this guys have divine protection , let alone Lyden and Orien ."
-My knights , I summon you here to inform you to prepare for battle .
"I don't have time for this !"
-As you may know , the truce between us and the Cassians will be over soon , I want you all to prepare for the fiercest battles .
-Yes my lord ! - say them all in the same voice
-Begone , my knights that's all I had to say to you .
The knights leave in a line , after leaving the room they all separate in different directions , as they disappear in the hallways .
-Bloodlust
Kiro sees the count in the upper floor walking .
"I got you , bastard "
Kiro runs towards the stairs , climbs them and he's finally able to see Calhoun himself .
Kiro follows the count as he's walking and pulls out his dagger . The count enters in a room and closes the door .
"If that's the place you want to see , so let it be "
-Time leap
The time slows down , then he opens the door and enters the room , but he sees another person in , a girl , a girl with charming looks who possessed a pair of magnificent grey eyes . Kiro enters a closet as the time goes back to normal .
"Can this get any harder ?"
- Your majesty
-I don't remember giving you permission to enter count Calhoun .
-I insist on admiring your magnificent beauty .
"Majesty ?"
- You are bothering me , please leave at once .
-But my lady , The only thing I wish is to be by your side .
"Screw it I don't have much time "
Kiro leaves the closet and reveals himself .
-How dare you break into princess Evelina's room you filth .
-Unfortunately , You are the one I'm after .
-Explain yourself at once !
Kiro removes his helmet , revealing his face , Bloodlust was still active as Kiro's eyes were pitch black . A devilish twisted grin appears on his face as he draws his signature blade
-You just hit your end .
