After midday in the tallest tower of the Madrid royal castle, in it's jail cell, Antonio fumed in rage. No longer was the once nice jail cell nice and tidy. Now it looked like the aftermath of a beastman raid.
All the furniture was broken into bits and pieces. The previously cum stained sheets were ripped and scattered all around. The room smelled like sex, violence and masculinity.
There on the floor Antonio now wearing a white shirt and brown leather pants schemed his revenge. In his hands, he held a broken piece of a mirror and in the other, he held a long piece of wood. With the glass, he slowly but surely sharpened the woods edge into a point. And with each stroke of the glass against the wood it resembled more and more a spear. And with each stroke, he cursed his father's name more and more.
" How dare you Do this to me Father. How dare you do this to the future king and his family. I curse you to the ends of the earth Father. May you never find peace in the afterlife. "
As he kept rambling on and on a realization hit him and he said. " No. Why do I keep cursing my father as if the gods would ever listen to me and strike my father down? No, instead I should do it. I will kill him. "
As he said this and accepted the dark thought as a possibility in his mind, dark forces started to gather around him. They fed off of the negative energy's the prince was emitting. They also subconsciously influenced his mind, encouraging the prince to act on the dark thoughts.
Then the small singular glass window in his cell crept open. It created a small rustic sound as it did so, awakening the prince from his crazed state. Looking towards the window he could see a small slender figure barely squeeze through it. The figure especially had trouble with her chest and rear as she entered.
Mesmerized by the figures asset Antonio finally got awoken from his dazed state when the figure, unceremoniously fell onto the floor. Seeing this he stood up spear pointed towards the intruder and yelled. " Who are! Have you come here to kill me? Speak or I'll stick you! "
Outside the cell door, the guards were alerted to the princes loud yell. But since he had been rambling and yelling the entire day they took it as just him going even more crazy.
Standing up off the ground Lust rubbed her big butt that had luckily cushioned her fall. Then she annoyedly looked at the prince and put her finger on her Juicy lips and said. " Shhhhh. Be quiet. I'm here to rescue you. So be quiet and do as I say. "
Lowering his guard after hearing her words, Antonio said. " Wait wait wait. First, tell me who you are. Who sent you? No wait. It was my wife, wasn't it? Hahahaha. I knew it, she still loved me. "
Lust just rolled her eyes after hearing the man's words and said. " No, my prince it was not your wife who sent me here. Although I am sure she loves you very much. No, but instead it was the future Duke of Faro who sent me and his allies. Rest assured my prince, there are still many In the kingdom that wish for you to ascend the throne. "
At these words, the prince Antonio was delighted and said. " Hahahaha. I see I see. Very good. So I am guessing that you are one of Duke Faro's most skilled agents that has come here to rescue me. But wait, I thought that Duke Faro died at Cordoba? Has a new Duke already been selected and whom? "
Shaking her head Lust answered. " Well, technically a new Duke has not yet been selected. But seeing as Tadeo is the Dukes last living hair, I think it is fair to call him the Duke. And today just so happens to be the new Dukes coronation and we have planned to use this opportunity to our advantage. That is how I got in here. "
Confused at her words, the prince said. " Impossible. If the king learns of this then you are all dead. During the day the castle is guarded by over 600 well-trained men and in the city there are even more men ready to answer the kings call for aid. Unless you brought a sizable army of your own you'll never be able to take this castle. "
Shaking her head, Lust said. " Do not worry my prince. We don't plan on doing anything so foolish as that. Our plan is quite simple actually. "
Pausing for a moment Lust thought on her next words carefully. But looking at the Princes dark aura that surrounded him, Lust was quite sure of the answer he would give her. But nonetheless, she asked. " Simple is our plan but there is one big question mark in it. And that is you, my Prince. Are you willing to kill the king, your brothers and assend to the throne of Aragon? "
Hearing her words Antonio did not immediately answer but turned his back to her, as if he was in deep thought and contemplation over this question. But as he held a hand on his chin in contemplation and had his back turned to her, a big wide grin appeared on his handsome face.
In his twisted mind, Antonio thought. " Hahahaha, finally. I don't know what god's doing this but thank you. Am I willing to kill my brother's and father she asks. Hahaha, of course. How dare those brothers of mine usurp my throne and betray me like this. Deep down I always knew it would come to this. After all, they have always been yellows of me. And my father, that decrepit old fool has held onto my crown for far too long. "
After a moment of justifying his future actions to himself in his twisted mind, he turned towards Morrigan and said. " While it breaks my heart to even think of doing such things to my own flesh and blood, to my own family. But in the end, I as the future king and ruler of this land must do what is necessary for the prosperity of this kingdom. "
Listening to him act as if he really cared for his subjects or family Lust just rolled her eyes as she watched him speak. With her arms crossed she spoke impatiently and asked. " So I take it that you're ready to do this then? "
Nodding his head Antonio said excitedly. " Ready when you are. Just tell me what to do. "
Hearing this she walked to the side of the door and said while pointing at the other side. " Stand there and be ready with that speak. And just play along. "
Confused Antonio did as he was told and then watched as the woman started to frantically banging at the door with her open palm. And then she yelled like a woman in great distress. " Help me! Somebody, please help! The prince has gone insane his trying to rape me! Please open the door! I dont want to lose my virginity to this crazy man! "
Antonio was utterly stunned watching the cloaked woman so pitifully and believably veil and cry with her innocent-sounding feminine voice. Then he saw her teary eyes turn to look at him as if begging for something. Then he remembered what she said earlier and he started to play along. " Yeah! Get that fat ass over here bitch! Let me have a feel and those cow-like tits also! God daim, let me grope them! And that weist is so thin that I'm so gonna wrap my hands fully around it as I plow my meat stick into you! Yeah! "
Hearing the Prince describing her body like so and watching her with his eyes so intensely as they roamed all over her body. Lust raised one eyebrow at the prince in question, Right now the princes words didnt even sound like an act anymore. To her, it sounded like his words were his real thoughts and desires just naturally coming out, but nonetheless, she continued the act.
On the other side of the door, the guards were instantly alerted to this. How did a woman get into the princes room, they wondered. Listening to her feminine and alluring voice there was no question in their minds that it was a woman in the room that was calling for help. They hesitated, not knowing what to do.
There were only two guards at the cell door and if they went to get the others at the base of the tower then it might be too late for the woman they thought. Then as they heard the prince describe the shapes and features of the feminine voice they were listening to their minds started to race. In their heads, they imagined just how beautiful and alluring the woman might look like.
Thinking of this their hearts started to race and their lower members stiffened slightly. They remembered all the childhood stories about knights saving beautiful princesses from evil people and then getting married to them. As they fantasized about this a loud bang could be heard from the door and then the princes voice said. " Take off your clothes woman! Strip for me! Or do you prefer that I do it for you? Hahahaha! "
Unable to listen anymore and not wanting to know what came after. The two royal guards bravely and determinedly started to unlock the door and yelled from behind the door. " Sieze your action, Prince! Let the lady go! Don't you dare touch her! "
Then immediately as the first guard entered Pole Axe in hand. Antonio grabbed his armored hand and pulled him inside to room with great force. As he did so he put his leg in front of the guard making the guard fall hard to the ground, weapon still in hand. Like an enraged monkey, Antonio immediately jumped on top of the guard wooden spear in hand. But thanks to the guards years of training he just barely managed to stop the incoming spear with his pole axe.
As the two struggled on the ground the other guard had tried to intervene but immediately after entering the room Lust jumped onto his back and pierced her needles into the small gaps in the guards armor. The needles having managed to bypass the mans outer plate armor and inner leather armor and chainmail were now spreading their paralyzing poison into the mans body.
Having dropped his pole axe the guard now struggled to get Lust off his back, as she tried to dig her finger blades into his flesh. But unlike with the lizardmen, the royal guard was fully covered in armor leaving almost no openings for her to exploit.
Then by chance or by a miracle the guard managed to grab a hold of her arms. Then with great force, he tossed her off his back and against the wall. Lusts back hit the wall hard taking the breath out of her. then she fell onto the remains of what used to be Antonios bed.
Through blurry eyes, she watched as the armored guard walked towards her angrily. " You fuking bitch! " The guard yelled in anger as he slowly stumbled towards her.
Seeing this she gritted her teeth and said. " Fuck you! " Lifting her open palms towards the guard she sent out an unseen powerful force of energy towards him. It sent the man flying off his feet, out the door and into the wall next to the stairway creating a loud metallic bang sound.
Then Lust saw blood being sprayed into the air on her right side. Antonio through shier use of his overwhelming strength had managed to push past the other guards defense and slid his sharpened wooden spear into the guards neck. He pushed and pushed the spear through the small gap between the chest armor and the helmet. As he pushed the spear broke and splintered, but nonetheless he pushed forward.
The guard struggled with all his might. He hit Antonio in the face with the hard metallic handle of his pole axe again and again. Antonios nose was broken and bloodied but he did not release his grip on his spear and just kept pushing forward.
Realizing that his end was near the guard in desperation dripped his weapon and proceeded to start punching the prince in his face. As the guards armored fist hit Antonios face, his teeth went flying and his head rocked backward. But being the stubborn man that he was he didnt give up and kept receiving more and more punches.
Then as Antonio managed to push the spear deeper the guards life faded from his eyes and his body went limp, Lust huffed him as she stood there next to him with her hand crossed and said. " Are you done now? "
Breathing heavily Antonio wiped the blood off his face and through broken teeth said amazed. " Wait, you already got the other one? And I thought that I was doing pretty good over here. "
Feeling defeated he hung his head low in disappointment at himself. Not feeling like saying anything Lust just rolled her eyes at his actions and then said. " Awaken and fight for your new king. "
Confused Antonio looked up at the woman and then felt the guard under him move. Surprised by this he turned to look at the guard he assumed to be dead and then saw its eyes lit up with a purple flame. Though the eyes were but mere flames and no pupils could be seen, nonetheless he could feel them looking straight at him.
Antonio having just killed the man and seeing him rise up once more didnt feel afraid but intrigued at this as he said to the woman. " You are a witch, arent you? "
Brushing the question aside Lust spoke uncaringly and said. " Sure, something like that I guess. "
Then Antonio stood up and looked at the undead guard still lying there. He could feel it constantly watching, as if it was waiting for him to do something, seeing this he asked. " Why is it just staring at me? "
As Lust started to walk towards the other guard outside the door, she said nonchalantly. " Ohh, Its quite simple. Its merely just waiting for its new king to give it some orders. I binded the mans soul to the body, so it still remembers you and holds some resemblance of loyalty towards you now. "
Taking a few steps back from the undead creature Antonio watched it curiously and then said. " Stand up. "
Immediately the undead stood up with the same amount of speed as if it were still alive. Seeing this Antonio got excited but as the undead just continued to stand still not doing anything he got a little disappointed at the undeads inability to do anything without orders. Sighing at this he was about to give it new orders when suddenly he saw the woman with one more undead walk into the cell.
To his surprise, this undead seemed a lot more active as it followed the woman and looked around actively for something. The undead also held its pole axe in hand just like when it was alive. All this made him wonder, could he give multiple commands to his undead at the same time.
Looking at the princes stationary undead just standing there looking at its master dumbly, Lust face palmed herself and said. " You're thinking about it too much. These are no soulless undead that need to be given very specific orders in order to function. Just tell them to act normal as they did in life and give them orders about who you want to protect and who you want to kill. Of course, it doesnt have to be too specific, they will attack whoever acts hostile towards you or them on their own. Now make these two guard you and then lets head out of here quickly towards the great hall before somebody notices what has happened here. "
Nodding in understanding Antonio ordered the two guards to act normal and protect them. Then as the two undead were once again equipped with their pole axes they all started to head towards the stairway. Then a thought came to Antonio as he asked. " So how do you do it? How can you raise the dead back to life? Can I also do it, if I try? "
Turning slightly to look at him, Lust said. " I think for you It should be quite doable. I will show you later how to do it. But for now, just get used to commanding them and try to feel their presence connected to you. It will help you in the future. "
Exited at these words Antonio followed behind the woman down the stairs. Once they reached the door leading to the outside castle walls they stopped. Once again they made a distraction and lured the 2 guards at the door inside and added them to their newly forming undead army.
Back at the entrance to the great hall Tadeo and his retinue of 200 armed men stood in two neat rows, waiting for permission to enter the hall. As they stood there the few royal guards around watched them with concern. Normally so many would never be permitted inside armed as they were but Gustaf had insisted that it was ok.
Standing there Gustaf heard two knocks with a 4-second delay come from inside the hall, signaling to him that they could enter. Hearing this Gustaf turned to Tadeo and asked him anxiously. " Is Lady Mori not coming? I would so have loved to see her in the dress I sent her. "
Hearing this Tadeo raised an eyebrow at the man and said. " I thought that I already made it clear to you that she is but a servant and she will be here in due time, you will see. Oh, you will see. But now if you would just simply open the door we could get on with this. "
Bowing slightly Gustaf said with a relieved voice. " Right away your lordship. Please enter. "
Then as the guards pushed open the doors to the circular great hall Gustaf stepped aside, now with a great smile on his face as he thought about his goddess. Then when the doors were wide open he announced Tadeos entrance. " Now entering is the second son of the former Duke of Faro and the first in line to the dukedom. Lord Tadeo Faro! "
Then on each side of the doors, 2 trumpets were blown as Tadeo and his men entered. Entering the hall Tadeo could see that standing all around the circular room edges were at least 40 armed men. Walking to the middle of the room and stopping at the circle there Tadeo saw the Kings old surprised face look at him and his men. Around the king, the guards seemed to be gripping their pole axes tighter than usual as they watched his men carefully.
Seeing the two lines of darkly dressed men in armor that stretched outside the great hall, the king was outraged and stood up yelling. " Gustaf! What is this? I only asked to see the future Duke of Faro and not his entire house guard! "
Alarmed by the kings hostile tone of voice the hall stood silent as Gustaf ran next to where Tadeo stood and explained. " Your majesty, please do not be angry. I was merely doing as you commanded. I didnt want to leave the lords men outside in the cold at this time of year. I-i.... "
" Enough! " The king yelled in a commanding tone of voice as he turned to Tadeo and said. " And you boy, why are you still standing there? Kneel before your king! Did your father never teach you that, boy? "
Hearing this Tadeo smiled and simply said. " No. "
Angered by these words the kings face reddened the guards lowered their weapons as more of them stormed into the hall from behind hidden doors next to the kings throne. " How dare you! Do you wish to die, boy? " Then as the king said those words alarm bells started to ring all over the castle.
In confusion, the king asked nobody in particular. " Whats going on? Is the city under attack? "
Then as the king said this sounds of fighting could be heard coming from the long corridor leading to the hall. Hearing this the black armored soldiers remained still while some of the royal guards rushed towards the sounds of battle.
Then the king saw a wounded soldier with an arrow in his back running past the other men as he yelled. " The undead are coming! Protect the king! Get him to safety! "
Then from the entrance to the corridor, an arrow flew. With great force, it pierced the mans helmet and came out his eye and he then fell lifeless to the ground.
Seeing this the royal guards rushed around the king as the king pointed his finger at Tadeo and said. " You! What did you do? "
At these words, all the black armored men drew their blades and prepared to face off against the guards as they did the same.
Then he pointed to Gustaf who was shaking in fear not knowing what was going on and said. " And you, you are a part of this arent you? I cant believe it. After all these years of serving my family, you have betrayed us! "
Hearing this Gustaf turned towards the king and said. " Please your majesty, I-yhayha.... "
As Tadeos sword cut cleanly through Gustafs neck only sounds of him choking on his own blood could be heard as his head then fell to the ground. Kicking Gustafs still partially kneeling headless body to the ground Tadeo smiled and said. " No, he didnt betray you, your majesty. He was simply a fool that I used without him knowing it. "
Shocked at the sight of this the king was about to say something when suddenly inhumane growls could be heard coming from the balconies surrounding the hall. From them, Armored undead and undead servants of the castle jumped down blades in hand. With great force, they landed on the soldiers below.
Seeing his reinforcements arrive, Tadeo then commanded his men to join the fight. Now all over the long hallway and great hall chaotic fighting had started. Though the surprise was on their side, turning the battle almost immediately into a massacre of the royal guards. At the same time, more and more guards poured into the castle from the city as the royal guards stationed in other parts of the castle descended upon the undead from all sides.
Time was short and not on Tadeos side. As Tadeo fought the line of guards standing in front of the king and throne a needle coated in poison flew past him. The needle precisely hit Tadeos opponent in the eye. Using this opportunity Tadeo aimed his blade toward the armor gap in the mans stomach. Then with all his might he trusted his blade forward, sending it into the mans stomach and up all the way to the mans ribs.
As the man fell and another took his place Tadeo saw Lust run right behind him followed by the prince now dressed in full plate armor, as she said to him. " lets make some room for the future king! "
Understanding the meaning behind her words Tadeo kicked his opponent, creating some distance between them. Then Lust ran right next to him and together they showed their hands forward and sent a strong force wave towards the guards. As the guards were sent flying all around Antonio ran through the gap and straight towards his father.
Seeing this the king turned to him and said in panic. " Son, what are you doing here? "
Grabbing a hold of his fathers collar Antonio said with an arrogant smile. " Succeeding you father! "
Then without any hesitation, he ran his long blade through the king.
The king only managed to let out a gasp as his life faded away and his crown fell to the hard stone steps of his throne, signaling the end of the king of Aragon and the beginning of a new order.
