(Couple of months later)
Derick: My liege, the plan can be initiated today should we proceed?
King Devon: Yes you shall proceed, make sure to bring only her dead body to the throne room and leave no witnesses.
(Serules/Seer POV)
While in front of my house I feel something against my throat, the next moment I hear "continue moving if you still want to live".
My hand starts sweating, my heart starts beating extremely fast, and my mind panics.
I do what he asks and continue to walk into the house, and the next moment I see my mother surrounded by masked people and my father in the kitchen with someone blocking the entrance and exit. My brain is going into overtime, the only thing I can hear is my heart palpitating, and my whole body freezes.
I see my mother standing there her cheeks are red, her skin turning pale, her heads look down, and then up at me, her eyes avoiding all contact with my eyes.
My body unconsciously begins to tear up, I see a sword in her stomach, and I start to feel regret, the anger bubbles inside of me and I bite my tongue to keep myself from screaming and acting rashly.
The only thing I can think of is how worthless how am, all the training amounting to nothing, and how pathetic I felt when that person snuck up behind me without me being able to do anything. If I wasn't there my mom would have been able to fight them, and not have to die because they were using me as leverage.
It hurts so much knowing being alive caused a death even if it was inadvertently, My skin seems to stop circulating blood, and my body feels so heavy like one thousand pound shackles were put on me. My chest feels like it has been pierced by hundreds of knives.
The next moment I feel my body give out, my knees buckle and I see my vision getting blurry. The next moment, my vision goes black and I feel the life leave my body.
(Elevena POV)
It was a normal day and Seer went out to play with Katrina, I was sitting down and knitting some of the seer's clothing and I feel multiple people approaching my house. They enter and I hear a voice saying "If you want your son to live then wait here". I tense up and clench my jaw, I can feel my eyes start to water but I hold myself back.
I see a person enter with Seer and a knife against his neck, my blood starts to boil but I must stay composed, my head is running with many different emotions. I was trained on the battlefield to stay composed but my mind is not letting me stay calm.
In the heat of the moment, I let down my guard and I feel a blade run through my body, the pain feels like a fire burning my body, I see my son's body start falling and inexplicable rage, wells up inside of me but I can't do anything, it feels like all the energy in my body is seeping out of my wound.
The last thing I see when I look at Seer, there is regret and sadness in his eyes, the only thing I can do is give my brightest and biggest smile, but seeing him like that makes it feel like my chest caved in on itself, it doesn't seem to set in the fact that we are in a bad situation when I look at him the only thing I can think of is all the memories that we could have had together.
The memory of him growing up, every birthday with his big grin when he blows out the candle and eats the cake. Taking care of him every day, and seeing the amount of time and effort he puts into things. Showing how much he appreciated us and how much he learned. Him slowly getting stronger every day and finally being stronger than me. My pride and joy getting accepted into Secarlla academy and becoming one of the top students.
Seeing him grow up and gets a girlfriend and marry her, then he surprises our legacy, by taking over his dad's position, and becoming an even better swordsman than me, after all of that settling down when were a bit older and he starts to take care of us and pass our days having fun without worry.
My eye close and I feel my body fall.
(POV Derick)
Take Elevena's body back to the castle, clear the house, make sure no one is alive in the mansion, gather all of their bodies in a pile, and burn the house down by putting the firestone on high and some burnable items on it.
Random Goon 1: yes leader, It will be done you can see he is shaking because he is nervous about this order.
I contact the king with a relic and tell him "It is done and we will bring the body to the castle in a couple of minutes."
After that, I go into the house to make sure that all the bodies are in a pile. I see Elevena's son died on the ground and make sure to put him by his dead father. After that, I do another check around the mansion and put a flammable object on the firestone and see the mansion go up in flames.
All for the king said that we won't lose fighting power if we do this and he has more control over the strongest person in our kingdom.
We arrive at the castle and present the body, the next moment the king's loyal seqguin user starts talking to his seqguin, he said the artifact that the store mana has finally filled up to use this magic. The next moment multiple complex sequences of lines (hexagonal, vertical, and horizontal) fill the floor of the room, and the next moment the body of Elevena starts to come back alive, her pale skin turns less pale and her eyes devoid of life, now has light in her eyes.
