Chapter 12 - THE BLACK CROWN-12-

The weight of his decision hung heavily in the air. He closed his eyes as he says with sore voice "that for your own good"…

As John's grip tightened on his sword, memories flooded his mind, remembering how Eric had gifted him the very sword he was now preparing to use to end his life. The weight of the moment seemed to grow heavier.John's sword swiftly moved towards Eric's life core

As some moments pass john opened his eyes as he could feel that his sword did indeed hit something but not as hard as life core. but rather had stabbed into Han's hand.

Han gasped in pain as his blood flowed down and stained Eric's white shirt. John was shocked as he looked at the sight of Han's pained expression.

"Have you lost your mind, John? What were you thinking? Did you even consider the consequences of your actions? what would happen if I didn't come in time!!" Han's voice was laced with anger and frustration as he spoke, his tone cold and stern As he grabs his injured hand tightly.

The sword had fallen from john's hand the realisation had hit him as he looked at Eric's face was he really about to kill him? "Thank goodness I had come instead of Aria, or she would have killed you if she had seen what you were about to do!"

He coldly says as he walk to the door. "Charles want us" he says as he go out leaving john alone with his thoughts

Han walked through the long hallway, his expression remaining aloof, concealing his true emotions his hand drops blood over the floor as he held a life core with a beautiful rose hue close to his chest, a hint of a small smile appeared on his face

"oh how stupid he was. Wasn't he? I feel bad for eric should we save him?i will think about way to save him what do you think?" He talk to the life core in his hand before he put it in his pocket after he noticed Charles walking towards him

He maintaining his composed demeanor as Charles approaches him "what happened to your hand?" Charles says as he looks at han's hand "nothing your highness normally conversation between me and john" he smiles coldly

"It not the time for your nor john childish behaviour! We had plan to discuss!" Charles spoke with a cold and focused tone, instructing Han to proceed to the headquarters. as he walk to get john

As time passed, all members gathered, and Charles began explaining the plan detailing the three-level structure. "Our first line of defense will be under John's leadership," He began. "This line consists of approximately 20,000 highly skilled and loyal guards who hold the rank of high knight. The second line will be composed of support warriors, while Aria will lead the third line, consisting of talented magicians."

"All magicians will use there magic to put spells on all the fighters life core while the other will be ready to heal any wounds at any moment" Charles says as he continues "we all know that the war against fragile humans but we cannot take them slightly!"

"All of you had seen what happened to eric who is one of the highest levels in high knight rank as he also warned us that they had something that weakens us!"

As Charles keeps explaining the plan everyone listened intently, they occasionally offered their opinions on the plan. The room was filled with a sense of unity and determination, as each member understood the significance and potential consequences of the impending war.
