Chereads / The Fall of Marchioness Fordenn / Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

The Queen wears her navy blue colored dress and so much shining gems as if you are looking in the sky. The King is a complete opposite as he is wearing a combination of gold, white and red robe that exude elegance. They really are opposite. But no, the sun and moon of the empire works together to maintain the peace and prosperity.

The set the motion in fire. All respect them but Laria could not give it. They are accomplices of the one that killed her mother, after all.

Laria think that getting revenge is futile. However, whenever she see the very faces of people who do her family wrong, she can feel her blood boiling. Her insides are heating up and everyone feel dizzy all of a sudden.

"Don't," the voice whispered to her and she was able to regain her calmness.

"What is that? Some sort of my power?" the voice chuckled. Laria's forehead turned into knot and was completely puzzled. "Come on, Ms Voicey~" she said and the voice chuckled more intensely.

"Well, yes it is," the voice calmly said. But that makes Laria know more.

"Really? Tell me more!" she said and the voice grin. The nobles looked at Laria who is smiling alone.

'Who is she talking with'

'They said she is a genius, maybe she is crazy after all?'

And many voices but Laria pay no mind at them. They cannot even approach her head on, and they do not hold much influence. Even if House Fordenn were to fall into ruins, she is still richer than them. But she is not sure about that because of Consort Pamela spending her family's fortunes.

"I am nothing but a voice, what could I tell you?" Laria knew that the voice meant she needed something in return.

"What do you want... Your Highness the Voice?" that made the voice chuckled so hard.

"Really? Your Highness the Voice? I have a name you know," Laria sneered.

"What can I do I did not even know where you even came from?" The voice smiled. Then the cloud formed and pointed at the Queen.

"If you could snatch the crown of the Queen, I'll tell you more about myself,"

"Thanks but I have no interest in you! I am asking about my power," Laria sneered back but that made the voice grinned.

"Do it first, Lady Laria,"

It feels ominous. It feels dreary. Something in the banquet feels weird. As if an unwanted spirit came.

"Did you feel that?" Aeolus asked Nieves, the second brother of Sky, cousins of the main Winterialle family.

"Yeah, I feel dizzy and sick all of a sudden," he answered. When suddenly everyone feels to weak to even stand and sitted on the floor. But a lady in the corner still stands and unbothered.

"Magic barrier: Protection Spell!" the Wizards arrived at the Royal Banquet and started detecting the magic. Laria, who gotten back to her senses faked her dizziness.

"Oh, she is dizzy too, she is just good at holding it in," Nieves murmured. But that did not make Sky convinced.

"Tell us what happened!" the King commanded the Wizards and Head Knight. "For such a thing to happened at a Royal Banquet!"The Wizards and Head Knight kneels.

"An untraceable magic has appeared--" when suddenly a horn was blown, and the announcer speak, "His Majesty the Crown Prince has arrived," instead of a dignified clean robe, the Crown Prince is full of splashes of blood so as his sword.

"W-who let him in?!" King panic. And everyone was startled at his appearance. Of course, the nobles here have hideous expression and could not hide their fear.

"Surprised?" his teeth are showing a full packed confidence and exuding a very powerful aura. He splashed in the magnificent grand floor the blood.

"Ahhh!" the nobles screamed, especially the ladies. Now, Laria starts looking for her sisters.

"What are you all doing?! Grab him!" the shocked was written all over the face of the King but the fear is overshadowing it. The Queen beside him trembled when Darius smiled.

His hair fluttered like a sun above all in the Earth. The ray of hope and what gives life to living things, but can be dreary when you did not use wisely.

"You are not expecting this, did you not?" he started walking towards them while Laria was busy taking her sisters.

"Where is Arianne, Tiara?!" she felt something ominous. They need to get out now. The knights unexpectedly blocks all the pathways to leave.

"Did you really think your head knights can kill me?" his eyes turned violent. He laughed hard. "A mere King dares try to kill an Emperor!"

The revelation made everyone even more shock. Laria is busy finding Arianne with her three sisters.

"Do you plan on becoming an emperor?!" the guts of Duke Winterialle to ask.

"Yes," he smiled and then pointed the sword at the Duke. The first born can feel the dread thing that has yet to come.

He chanted, "Ice shield!" when suddenly like a lightning, a fierce ray of light came out to attack the Duke.

The Royal Family's power, the insignia of the Sun. Only real descendants can wield the powerful magic that can kill in one hit.

"What do you think you're doing?!" King shouted.

"I already warned you, in the Council Meeting," Then the King recalled the incident where Prince Darius tie them in the chair and paralyze him when the prophecy announced that the next King would be a blue haired man.

"And even plan to assassinate me, you, who couldn't even wield the power of the Sun!" these make the nobles murmured to each other. The first son of Winterialle grittedhis teeth.

"Why do you attack my father?" his silver eyes is throwing fierce gaze at the Crown Prince.

"Is it not what you want?" Prince Darius retorted and sneered. "You hate how he manage the Duchy, are you not?" that made a huge commotion.

The wizards start making a protective barrier. And no knights wanted to go near him.

"Still, is it not nice to point that to a Duke?" Aeolus cannot help but shout.

"Now, the heir of the House that wield air?" he chuckled more.

"So what?" he started walking towards Aeolus.

'Damn this Prince!' Laria shouted. My future husband is going to be hurt.

Prince Darius exude a very powerful Aura so is Aeolus. He won't tarnish his family name. His family are now shouting for him, and Aeolus mother was crying.

"Please, my Son! My Aeolus!" that made Aeolus gritted his teeth.

"I hate how you treat us, the nobles, like a joke for years!" Aeolus snorted. This made Laria stopped and cannot help but admire his courage. "I am Aeolus, one of the protector of this Empire!" he said then made a powerful air shaped ball to throw in his hand.

"Really?" Prince Darius asked and attacked him with a fiery lightning ball.

That one attack made Aeolus kneel before the Prince. It was like all of his energy was drained from him. While the Crown Prince is standing proudly.

"Know your place, little brat," the Duchess run off to Aeolus and now the Prince started walking towards the King.

"Pass off the Crown to me, now," he threaten the King. "Everyone who will follow me will be my vassal,"

"Ridiculous!" the Queen snorted. She wanted her son to be the King.

"What? Do you want to die here?" he is really fierceless.

Everyone shudder at the site.

"Y-you did not know your place and even dares to point a blade to your own father?!" The Queen lost her composure and is trembling fear now.

"The current King also killed his brother, did he not?" he curiously asked, "I am not even his child, but he is claiming me as his own," he smiled, creepily

"You are not even a real part of the Royal Family." the King trembled in madness. This causes a huge uproar.

For years, the King is weak and did not show a sign of wielding the power of the Sun. Also, the late Queen, was already pregnant when the King was crowned. After she give birth to Prince Darius, the King discarded her and throw her off the Tower by accussing her of infidelity and misdeeds.

Everything makes sense. For a prince who only know to play around to becime a King, utterly nonsense. The late Crown Prince suddenly died due to an accident and the current King, is only a son of the former Queen from other King.

"Do you know what catastrophe have been waiting our country if I died?" Darius laughed, "When the Sun was erased from the existence, the Eternal Country will become a land where the sun does not rise," he paused, "And I M the only Sun left, yet you tried to assassinate me,"
