The capital was now up in flames, the guards were getting killed left and right Blood spilled on the streets. A woman with black hair and a mask defends one of the guards, she blocks the attack of Hunter. "That's enough Bloodhearth, stop this at once!" She shouts at him, the guard is on the ground shaking. Not long after the speakers heard Theodore's voice. He continues with his speech, everyone stops fighting.
"He killed the king?" The woman said. "I need to go back to the castle!" She runs away from Hunter. She climbs up a building and jumps over the streets filled with bodies. He reaches the castle's gates and climbs the wall with a device on her fingers.
She jumps off the wall on her fours, just like a cat. She runs in the castle and uses the elevator to get to the throne room. She exits the elevator only too see Theodore on the throne, her king dead on the left, her queen near the throne, dead, two mechas and a blue haired woman in camouflage with armor on her.
"You must be guardian E. you're a bit late." She sees his swords bloody as ever. She looks around, windows broken, guards dead and blood everywhere. "Why did you do it like this?" She said. "He endangered me, he wanted to kill me, I had to do this!" Theodore thinks what he said was true, except the part that he had to do this.
Theodore looks depressed, he wishes no war and he gets dragged back into the bloodshed. "I fucked up…" Theodore said out loud. "Do you know why your king started the war 2 years ago E?" She shakes her head. "It must've been a good reason." Theodore laughed. "Did you fight a day into the war?"
The woman shakes her head again. "I am telling you this." Theodore gets up and whispers in her ear something, none of his friends could make out what he said.
The woman looked baffled, she didn't believe him. "Go find the truth yourself, now that you know it exists, you will find it."
"Where should I look?" Theodore moves his hand from left to right. "Everywhere in the castle. Hope you find what you need to find." She runs out of the throne room making herself unseen.
"What did you tell her?" Said Ghost. "A story that I found out when I was little." He sighs and gets his sword clean with the help of the king's body. Theodor puts his clean sword away and looks out the window towards the capital. "I am ashamed of what I've done." He said.
"You could've declined." Said Seraphine. "You understand nothing in this situation. This is not something I want to do" "I know. But why did you accept? You could find them on your own couldn't you?" Theodore turns to her, he smiles. "I guess you're right."
Rinheart gets out of his mech and say: "What now?" Theodore looks at him. "Well because I attacked the capital none of them are gonna want me king, so I probably won't be king." A huge commotion is heard from outside the castle, shouts, very unclear from where they are now.
"Let's see what's going on." Rinehart and Ghost go with their mechs out while Theodore and Seraphine take the elevator down. The silence in the elevator is loud. They nearly could hear each other's heart beat. They arrived at ground level and exit.
The voices are getting louder. They both rush outside with their weapons ready.
They are all civilians. Theodore looks at them and puts the weapon back into its sheath. "I am Theodore Bloodhearth, youngest of all. I caused you all lots of trouble I am sorry" He gets on his knees and rests his head on the ground. "Please accept my forgiveness"
Everyone was impressed by his gesture. Hunter appears in front of the people. "They are not mad at you! They are here to welcome you" Theodore gets his head up. "Welcome me? But I attacked the capital."
One of the people said. "Because of you the war ended, the king was a mad man, he could've always stopped it, but he didn't. You're a real leader that value us, the people. He wanted us to be in this hell of an economy and to live in this hell of a war we had." A girl shouted from behind "You're our king!"
These words warmed Theodore's heart. An old woman around her 80s came towards Theodore and hugged him. "Because of you MY SON LIVES!" She cries. "Who is your son, granny?" "Lancer Fritz. I am his mother. You saved him and he speaks of you since, you're a hero!" Theodore smiles. "He is a good man," another person said.
Theodore breaks the hug and gets up from the ground. He helps the old lady get up from the ground. "I am no person to get this many compliments. I did what I think was right."
People from the crown start shouting 'be our king' Theodore nearly started crying,
He thought he messed up, but all he did was make people happy, he felt a warmth in his chest. He never felt this before. "I will!" He shouts "If you want me as king I shall be king!"
