"Miss Quiantessette Kings and Grand Archduke Zekuno Mag'ladroth, your engagement is now back and effective!" The Matrimony Adjudicator authoritatively declared as he slams the gavel and pressed a red sealing wax on the nuptial documents to close the case.
FINALLY WE'RE BACK TO ONE, QUIANTE. BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT TO BE THIS DRAMATIC THOUGH. WELL, I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU THAT RIGHT NOW.
"Sir," I boldly confronted Mr. Kings, "I believe you have already received my memo about your bank accounts and company matters, right?"
"So it was you, Seku." Mr. Kings presumed as he released a murderous aura at me.
MY, INTIMIDATION REALLY RUNS IN THEIR FAMILY HUH?
"Wise guess, Mr. Kings." I tried to talk back as calm as possible.
SH*T! I THINK I'M GOING TO DIE HERE. DON'T PANIC ZEKU, YOU CAN DO THIS!
"And Ma'am, I presume you have all been using your maiden surname for three years to hide your true identities, is this true?" I turned to Mrs. Kings.
"We are only forced to Seko, because of you." Mrs. Kings sharply replied.
MAN, I MUST HAVE GOTTEN TOO FAR PUNISHING THEM FOR MY EYES.
"I see, but that won't be a problem anymore, Ma'am. Because this time, you can now use your family surname again and everything that I reprimanded from your family last five years ago is now null and forgotten. Have a nice day and I'm bringing your daughter back with me." I straight away demanded as I quickly grab Quiante's hips and clutch her body unto my shoulders.
"What are you doing!? Let me go, Liar!" Quiante loudly exclaimed while she violently struggles in my arms and her powerful knee kicks are landing on my diaphragm.
MY ABS, OUCH!!! OH, PLEASE STOP FOR THE LOVE OF GOLDILOCKS! I'M HURTING TOO YOU KNOW!
I tried to struggle in my head as I earnestly try not to look affected. I know it hurts too much getting spontaneous knee kicks in your stomach, but it was just so lame to give up right now. So, I tried hard as possible to stay calm and poise. But, God I think I'm gonna die in pain! So, I decided to leave the room immediately when her father suddenly grasps my back.
OH GOD PLEASE, I THINK I MIGHT NOT HOLD THIS ANYMORE.
"I'm sorry, Seku. But as her parent you are not taking her that easily." Mr. Kings threatens me.
"Yes Sir, I deeply respect your parental rights. However do you know exactly what happens once the deed is close?" I uttered as I turned my face back over my free shoulder and said, "Law Officer, what does the provision states in closed contracts?" I called the attention of the matrimonial law officer.
"I'm sorry Mr. Kings but as a parent in closed contracts, the matrimonial provision says that you can longer have the authority to keep your daughter with you. Instead, the obligatory rule will be liberally redeemed by her husband-to-be. Therefore, the fiancé has the absolute privileges to take your daughter wherever he wants, as the law provided." The matrimonial law officer explained to Mr. Kings and he loosed his grasps from my back.
"Don't worry Mr. and Mrs. Kings, I promise I'll take care of her." I swore to her parents and immediately left the room with my men.
On the way, while we are rushing down the hall suddenly a horde of reporters and camera men crammed on the exit. To my sudden initiative, I instantly took off my cape and covered it on Quiante whilst she is still violently struggling over my shoulders. By and by, our royal cargo arrived by the exit and a group of martial men went blocking the newscasters. They made a way for us and right away we pass the exit and head straight to the armored truck.
I put Quiante on a prison chair and quickly activated the lock up button. I turn to the commander and saluted for his assistance. After that, I closed the door as the military vessel then departed out of the capital city. I rested back on the chair and automatically the seat belts chained over my body. I looked around and realized that there was just the two of us in the last compartment and ahead I can see in the next cubicle are where my men are. So, I let out a sigh and glare at Quiante.
--Grunting—
"Stop wasting your energy, Polar Bear." I reprove her.
"I am not going with you, Liar! Let me go!" she yells.
"I'm sorry but you're already out of the capital city Missy and in a while we will now be crossing the border. You don't have your pass ID so you have no choice but to come."
"Liar, psychopath, stupid!!!" she furiously queered at me.
"Oh, you're calling me a liar? Aren't you a liar yourself?"
"Eat your fertilizer, Pompous!"
"What? (Scoffs) I didn't lie, ok? Yes, the name you knew about me is Sekuno Mag'ladroth, and I told you that I'm Zeku Salamander. Zeku was a short word for Zekuno, which is my clannish name in Region Clans. And Salamander, if you can remember is my mother's maiden surname. Didn't you do it yourself too? So, what's wrong with it, jelly bean!?"
"(Laughs) what's wrong with it? You really don't understand, do you?"
"Well, you changed yours and I just changed mine too. So, what's the problem?"
"The problem is, you pretended to be friend with me you two-faced son of roach!"
"Isn't roaches have antennas, because I have none ladybug."
"Stink you, jack ass!"
"Blabber sheep."
"Crazy psycho"
"Monster lady"
"Oh, screw you bolt head!" she furiously screamed.
--Knocks--
"What!?" me and Quiante together exclaimed to the knocking person and was shocked to see that it was Lilliane.
"Lilliane, wh-why are you here?" I asked her.
"Well bruv, I was thinking maybe you could drop me by in the Region SOPHIA?" she timidly asked.
"Of course, I will. Come, have a seat with me." I invited Lilliane and she went next to me.
"So, what are you two doing here?" she began to ask.
"I um ah, we were just joking around Lilliane."
"Pft! Liar," Quiante murmured.
"Am not,"
"Yes you are"
"O come on, we have a kid her Polar Bear." I reproach her to stop.
"Miss Quiante, are you fighting with my brother?" Lilliane kindly asked her.
"I'm sorry Lilliane, but your brother… is a big hell of a liar!"
"What?" Lilliane gasped.
"Yes Goldilocks, he is." She persuaded her.
"(Teary eye and sniffs) Brother, are you being a psycho again?" her aura suddenly changed when she glared at me.
WAIT, WHAT? WHERE DID THAT CUTE LITTLE FACE GO?
"No, Goldilocks I swear I would never lie to you," I defended and all of a sudden Lilliane's body went on fire and she was so furious at me.
WHAT? SHE'D RATHER BELIEVE HER MORE THAN ME? THAT'S SO UNFAIR!
"Bro…ther.." she rages.
"(Laughs gawkily and scratch his head) Leave the matter to the adults to discuss, ok Goldilocks?" I kindly convince her and led her back to her cubicle.
WHEW! WOMEN ARE SO SCARY.
"(Sighs) don't bring this up to my sister again, please." I pleaded her.
"Wow, you suddenly became soft Papa bear." She continued.
"That's enough, ok."
"Hmph!" she rolled her eyes and avoided looking at me.
"So, about the bracelet," I began the topic as she begins to be attentive.
"What bracelet are you talking about," she pretended.
"Nothing special, it's just an ordinary amethyst wristlet. But you know what I found out, it was contained with a forbidden magic, Quiante." I whispered at her.
"(Gasped) Back off!" she yelled.
"(Clears throat) you know, you act like somebody who's guilty of crime. Why, is it you who really did it, Quiante?"
"I never said that."
"You didn't, but you think so."
"Oh, cut the chase jack-ass and tell me what's your catch,"
"Ok, so you did it."
"You want me to make it more obvious? Ok, I did it so what!?"
"You seemed not afraid of the consequences huh?"
"I am always prepared to be killed, Zeku. That won't scare me."
"Of course, but the problem is you are not the only one getting killed. Remember you still had your family and they too might be killed."
"Don't you dare touch my family, psycho, 'cause if you do I promise I'll hunt you down no matter what it takes."
"Do you know your weakness Quiante, because you make it too simple for your enemy to discern it."
"I don't die, Zeku. And I am not afraid if they do."
"Wrong. Your family is your greatest weakness, right?" I corrected her and she went silent. "But don't worry, you'll be much safer with me more than you could ever know compare to that Prince Charming William of yours."
"And why is that?"
"Because I have a proposal for you and it came directly from the King himself."
"What?! Did this issue reached him already?!"
"Of course, why not?"
"You blabber mouth…"
"I didn't. You think the King wouldn't notice your unusual magic? He is far greater than me, Missy. In fact he is my mentor, Quiante. You cannot lie to the perception ability of the King. Yes, your magic quite works to other people but not to me or to the King. But honestly, I did a little struggle from here and there detecting the source of magic. Well, thanks to that drug that weakened your concealing spell."
"Wait. What actually happened that night?" she begins to remember.
"Oh that night, what else, obviously we enjoyed playing the fire, honey." I kid at her.
"Why you…"
"And oh, I was surprised that you could even make that nasty moan babe, so sexy!"
"Hentai!!!" she suddenly screamed so loud.
"Ow, that hurts Polar Bear. Why do you always take things so seriously, man? Damn, my eardrums almost popped off from my ears." I complained as I cleaned my ears with my pinky finger.
"Hmph!"
"Anyway back to the topic, I and the King have talked about this that if ever your cover got blown, we will stand as your witness to defend you against the law, but in exchange you will use your magic to help us defeat the KINGS. Or otherwise, we will have no choice but to let you and your family be executed in the square. So are you in this or not?"
"Anytime soon, William will publicize my crime and I'll be dead then before I can even do that." She sulked down.
"He won't."
"Why not? He has the evidence, Zeku."
"But I said he won't right?"
"And how can you be so sure?"
I grab something from my coat pocket and showed it to her. It was crystal disc record sealed in a transparent envelop that I stole form William's possession. Quiante gasped by surprise and looks at me unkindly.
"What? Aren't you happy that I took William's last evidence to tear you down?" I talked to her.
"First you're lying and now you're stealing. You know, you should change your bad habits before you can even go to hell unless you wanna go to hell."
"(Scoffs) what are you, a faithful follower of the KINGS? Hell only exists in KINGS, Quiante."
"Ok, fine do whatever you please! Just don't come crying when that happens, Bear brain."
"That's impossible, so are you in this or what?"
"Do you really expect me to respond in this?"
"Why not? It's a good offer."
"Hello, I'm just a simple peasant living a hard life in the city, Zeku. Can't you see, I'm a dish maid and I don't wash my hands with bloodbath. I'm a sweeper but I don't sweep anyone with a sword or a spear. I'm a dog guardian but I don't train dogs to be a warrior. In short, I'm not cut out for this fight."
"But you had your abilities with you all along, Quiante. And it have been activating whenever you want to use it, right?"
"I'll die on the battlefield before I could even deploy my magic, Zeku. This is insane; pigs might fly if that happens."
"I know you can do this and I believe you can."
"I think I'm seeing an angel."
"O come on, I'm being serious her Quiante."
"No I'm serious, look!"
I look at the armored window and saw that there were really flying angels above us. No, but it's not just any ordinary angels those are the archenemy's war flying vessels. The aircraft was built with quality materials that it looked like a robotic seraphim. Its wings spread widely and it seems it is gaining at us. There were four of them and suddenly a missile filled with destructive magic shoot at us. I was about to warn them when our vehicle suddenly flipped and immediately a loud blast exploded right ahead of us. The frontline vehicles were destroyed and now the only remaining trucks is ours and those following behind commander.
The surrounding became blurry and I felt so dizzy. I shook my head and I found myself sitting upside down. I take off my seat belt at once and I fall off to the ceiling. Quiante cough and she was also upside down.
"Quiante, Qiante! Are you alright?" I quickly went towards her and try to unlock her chains but it's jammed.
"(Coughs) you're bleeding, Zeku." She worries.
"It's just a scratch. Don't worry I'll get you out of here." I tried again to unlock the bolts but the system was already corrupted.
"Zeku, Zeku! Stop, leave me here. Go get Lilliane!" she reminded me.
"Lilliane…" I remembered, "Lilliane, Lilliane!" I left Quiante and went looking for Lilliane.
I entered the next cubicle but the vessel is now already empty. My men were no longer there and Lilliane was already gone. I get out of the truck and there I saw my sister and my men blasted off outside the forest dessert. While the four robotic seraphim are still above us roving and shooting magic filled bullets. I run at their sight and they heartlessly shot the vehicle where I left Quiante. The vehicle exploded and flung out into the open. When I turn around the truck was already engulfed in flames and I know Quiante was still there.
"Quiante!!! Quiante!!!" I desperately called out to her but it was too late, the truck is now destroyed with her.
To my fury, I wasn't able to hold back myself and activated my void spells. I summoned a void dragon and draw out my void sword to fight the battle alone. I know there might be a tendency that I'll lose against four magical robotic seraphim but I'll just try my luck or else all of us here will be obliterated.
I began my counterattack by sending out my familiar to chase off the two seraphim and I myself face the other one. And the last one was fought by my men and the group of commander as I continue with my one on one battle with these devils. The seraph was about to attack as I swiftly charge towards its range and slice it with a hundred dark shadow slash that its defense failed down. I was about to finish it off when a powerful electrocute stunned me. So, I fall back instantly to recover from getting electrified, the damage was mortal but this is only a scratch to me.
While I was thinking for a plan suddenly it rained down its magical bullets at me and I instinctively defended myself with a dark round cloak magic to shield me from the damages. And as soon it reloaded, I then deployed a dark deathly laser beam emitting from my sword and aim at the fatal points of the injured seraph, its core. The light flashed through the seraph's armor and it blasted off in the air. While others are still busy defeating the other one, I then called my void dragon and quickly climb into it.
The two seraphim were trying to run away as we trail from behind. Needing a bit more speed, I transfuse some of my mana to my familiar through an immense concentration. And in an instant our speed pass through the seraphim and my familiar right away inhale a black fire in his lungs and puff an enormous dark blast at the seraphim that it went flaming and exploded in the atmosphere. And now's that is left is the last one back at my men and commander.
Quickly, I try to go back as fast as possible and ahead I can see that they were almost losing. Commander's guards are torn down, my men are critically injured, and Lilliane is bruised unable to run away from fright. I was still so far away when the seraphim attack its final blow creating a nuclear bomb right before their eyes. And without delay, the seraphim released the bomb and a bright powerful blast exploded on the ground.
"NNNNOOOOO!!!!"
The blast cleared off and the seraph was still intact. The blast made an immense destruction on the surface and by and by the smoke vanished. I would almost go out insane when suddenly; I see that there was an equipped person standing next to Lilliane and my men. She was a human and her body was armored like that of the seraphim's. Her wings spread out which shielded Lilliane and the rest from the explosion and she was aiming a high-powered gun against the seraphim. The seraphim sensed this deathly blow and tried to escaped but then the robotic archangel then shot a powerful magical bullet at the enemy that it tore its core and blasted in the air.
I went close to them when the robotic archangel aims a gun at me mistaking me for another enemy. She unhesitatingly pulled the trigger and unexpectedly Lilliane jumped off from behind her and push the gun away which swayed her shot that was supposed to hit me. The attack hit the mountain and a huge explosion obliterated the hill leaving a flat surface beyond.
"Miss Quiante, that's enough please! It's my brother, Zeku, you're fiancée!" Lilliane begged aloud without having idea how bad our relationship was.
"Don't worry, Lilliane. I won't kill your brother (smiles at her for a moment then glares at Zeku) I'll just terminate him like a pest. Ready or not, Bear Brain, I didn't sign up for this pervert!!!" she shouted and shot a powerful blast of water and flung me and my familiar away from them.
"GAH-AH!!!"
