"That is the result of your crimes, apologize to the emperor or I will make you like this."
Now only a few robbers are still alive. In front of them were a lot of corpses that were covered in fresh red blood.
Zuko put him in a container on his back, he stood waiting for the robbers' decision to be willing to return the horses that were stolen by him and maybe they would be thrown into prison.
"We won't do that, it's the same as going to jail if the emperor decides like that," snapped one of the robbers.
Zuko walked towards the robbers
while saying. "Prepare to die."
Suddenly the robbers who were only eight people avoided with his hands still carrying swords.
"Feel this," Zuko swung his sword blindly at the robbers who looked overwhelmed by the swing of the sword.
Zuko twisted his body with a swing of the sword as one of the robbers ran to stab him, "cress...
He leapt back at some of the robbers who were trying to fight him. The swing of his sword was faster than the movements of the robbers.
Now only the three robbers were still alive and Zuko was breathing heavily. The surroundings were full of blood flowing from the robber's lying body.
The place was filled with the fishy smell of fresh fresh blood. The three robbers now trembled in fear helplessly after being cornered by Zuko who was slowly walking closer with eyes like hatred.
"W.... My goodness sir," said a robber with a frightened face.
Zuko was already angry, his emotions really couldn't be contained anymore. He ran and jumped at the three robbers as he swung his war.
"Cruuuuss," a samurai sword slashed right at the three robbers. Instantly Their ventura fell with so much blood gushing out.
Zuko landed behind them with a slight crouch while holding his samurai blade stuck in the ground.
The glittering samurai were now covered in the blood of the criminals. The sword was now like a demon thirsting for blood. Dozens of robbers were killed by the samurai sword he was carrying.
The women in the house were hiding somewhere, but Zuko didn't care.
It really was night time. He walked out of the place with his sword still covered in blood.
Some of the horses belonging to the kingdom that were in the stables seemed to be sleeping along with other horses belonging to the robbers who had now been killed by him.
The sound of small animals accompanied his steps again. While walking through the forest, he saw a small river flowing.
In his mind, it would be very bad if he came back with a stained sword blood. It could be that the soldiers were then afraid of him because he was like a murderer.
Zuko washed the sword with clear flowing river water, now the blood was flowing faintly following the clear water that turned reddish.
Suddenly a light rain fell on him who was standing looking at the quiet and dark forest. The wind was blowing gently forging his sweat-drenched body.

"Mr. Zuko. What took you so long, what happened?"
Zuko returned the samurai to one of the soldiers. "It's okay, uncle. I was just chasing the robbers who turned out to be a lot of them."
"It's very dangerous sir, a lot of people have been killed by them because they dared to fight the robbers," said one of the soldiers.
He lied so that the soldiers would not scare him for having been able to kill the robbers with the samurai. "But apparently they run faster than I imagined."
Zuko walked back to his room, the kingdom as big as it was so deserted that only a few soldiers were still active, while everyone was asleep.
"Master Zuko. Why do we smell the fishy smell of this sword?" shouted the soldier.
Zuko stopped in his tracks after hearing the soldiers' screams. "Hopefully they don't suspect anything," he muttered to himself.
He didn't look back at all and then continued on to his room so as not to hear the soldier's words.
Arriving inside, he passed Freya's room. The girl was asleep in her room, a very charming look radiated from her face.
"Freya don't want to know that the robbers I've killed today," he said quietly as he walked away.
He dropped his dirt-filled shoes onto the shoe rack. The cold air began to feel when suddenly it rained heavily.
"Fortunately I have arrived," He fell asleep in in the middle of the night which in a few moments is almost morning.
***********
"Uncle. Zuko is unconscious," shouted Freya who thought Zuko had fainted again.
Uncle Cakra ran until he hit the waiter who was bringing food. "Smash."
Zuko woke up from his sleep when a glass of water spilled on his face because Patih Cakra hit the waiter who was putting the glass on the table.
"Well. Mr. Zuko is awake," said Patih Cakra.
Zuko wiped his face which was soaked with a glass of water. "Who splashed me earlier?"
"Sorry, Mr. Zuko. I was running until I hit the waiter who put a glass of water," said Patih Kerta.
"I'll get another drink," said a waiter as he picked up the fallen glass, then walked out of the room with a polite bow.
"Did Mr. Zuko leave last night?" Ask Patih Cakra.
Freya looked at Patih Cakra questioningly. "Uncle don't make up stories. Zuko just after accompanying me to go to sleep to his room."
"Hopefully no one suspects," Zuko muttered to himself.
"But I'm not making up stories, because one of the soldiers on duty last night said that," replied Patih Cakra.
Freya looked at the man in front of her, "what
You went out looking for the robber last night?"
"No. I was just walking around the village yesterday," replied Zuko with a lie so that Freya wouldn't suspect if she killed the robbers.
Patih Cakra sat beside Freya with a surprised expression. "But didn't Mr. Zuko borrow a sword yesterday too?"
"Gosh. Uncle Cakra is causing more and more problems," he muttered to himself when he was almost cornered by a reality that could barely be covered up.
Freya looked at Zuko with a suspicious look on her face. "What did Uncle Cakra say correct?"
Patih Cakra and Freya looked at him questioningly about what he was doing in the middle of the night leaving with a samurai sword.
"I'm just hunting in the forest," Zuko replied with drama again.
"What are you doing in the forest?" Freya was still asking without stopping.
Zuko scratched his hair while thinking about what other lie to say. "I only hunted animals, but got absolutely nothing."
"But the soldier said earlier. Mr. Zuko came back at midnight, but he didn't say anything to me. But when he was about to return the samurai to the shelf, for some reason the sword smelled fishy," said Patih Cakra.
"When Mr. Zuko borrowed the sword under what circumstances?" asked Patih Cakra who was spinning.
Zuko took a deep breath, he finally honestly said what he had done last night, "Okay I will say this honestly, last night I killed all the robbers at his base."
"What?" Shouted Freya and Patih Cakra with him because they were shocked by Zuko's words.
