Chereads / Dragonborn Prince : Legacy Of Light & Shadow / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 : False Blame

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 : False Blame

"...I smell blood" Leon stood outside the door and opened it slightly to see several lances inside the room and blood spattered everywhere, he knew what blood smelled like, and now he could smell it. "Ah" As soon as he opened the door, he was pulled away and almost stabbed in the chest. But luckily having a dragon necklace on his neck saved him, but at the cost of getting cut, they saw his dragon necklace across his neck. "Huh," Leon got up as quickly as he could and looked around the room. He saw that there was a man and two kids lying dead and Ruby (The woman who helped Leon to run away from there) was unconscious. Then he looked in front of him and saw that he was surrounded by five people walking in with a sword, who looked like those bad people. 'This is bad' Leon taught himself. He then got to his feet and backed away, until his back hit the wall. The one of assassins raised his sword above his head to stab Leon, until-"Riyaan," some mysterious voices said

"...!" Leon was shocked hearing his name from his past life. But after he heard that everything around him stopped in place. It was like time stopped moving.

Leon looked up and saw eight beautiful ladies, one lady with red hair, one with brown hair, one with crimson hair, one with green hair, one with White hair, one with golden hair, one with black hair, one with blue hair.

"Who are you" Leon asked

"Who we are is not important right, because we don't have time. We will teach you about God, and how to use your magic power and martial arts. Learn it by remembering this feeling." the Ladies said to Leon.

'H-how to use power and martial arts?' Leon taught himself.

When Leon was talking to those ladies, he saw Ruby. Leon became angry after seeing her. Then the ladies told Leon that you can make this anger your strength and save the people here from all these dirty people.

The next moment everything started moving again. As soon as the sword came down on Leon he dodged it successfully with his body enhanced and physical abilities enhanced.

Thanks to Riyaan Singh's memories he was able to use the ancient martial arts he learnt from his grandfather on earth to strike the assassins.

Then the ladies said to Leon " Riyaan you have the skills to stop them. You have to remember what your father and mother taught you about the battle.

"Enhance physical abilities, "The assassin said as he chanted a spell to activate his physical abilities.

The assassins started slashing at them to kill him. Leon saw that he chanted a spell and Leon copied it and spelled the chant using the Enhance physical ability.

They slashed and slashed again, but none of their attacks even touched Leon. All he slashed at the open air, while Leon continued to strike the assassins until Leon killed them with one attack. The leader of the assassin said how could you kill the "C-Rank" assassins without any struggle and then said that you are some kind of monster. And he ran away from there fearing Leon.

Leon looked over the room and walked over to Ruby to wake her up.

"Ruby, wake up, wake up." he shook Ruby to wake her up and called her name. Leon kept doing that until she woke up.

Ruby was shocked at what she saw and nearly threw up. She then asked Leon what happened.

"...Leon what happened here?"

"...I'll explain"

Leon tells her what happened, but suddenly they heard something move in the room.

They looked around and saw the bag in the corner started to move.

"What is that? Ruby asked

'It couldn't be' Leon taught himself.

He walked over to the bag and untied the string. When he looked and saw the girl, he let out a sigh, seeing some he didn't want to see.

The girl was young with Purple hair and had on a very high-quality dress. Leon was shocked to see her and took the gag off her mouth and she gasped for air. When she caught her breath she said to Leon

"P-please, save me Leon please!

Leon said that "Nothing will happen to you, I will save you."

Then Leon hugged her and said don't worry Flora.

Leon saw around him and he didn't see the bad guy had run away.

Then Flora said that father and mother will be happy to see you again.

"Your father and mother," Leon said, "no no I have to do something I can't go."

Don't worry Leon saw that out and said there was a horse Leon took Ruby and Flora outside.

As soon as Leon muttered that he heard a scream. He looked at Flora while she was screaming and the next second she lost consciousness.

"Hey!" Leon tried to wake her up, but she was out cold.

On the other hand, the bad guy was running out of the door. While running away, he was caught by those men in black clothes.

The man dressed in black was asking after that bad guy where Princess Flora. Then that bad guy said, "I am not the culprit. Culprit was inside and he killed the owner of the shop and his family and also killed my Guild member now he wants to kill me too. Please save me from him".

Celia said, "We never said that you are the Culprit only he said that where is Princess Flora". Now tell your name how you are. He said " My name is Kuro, leader of the Dark assassination group. One person said, "We know that OK".

Then Leon came out from the shop with Princess Flora and Ruby in his hands and there was the Black dress. People saw the princess and then Kuro said to see what I said then they believed Kuro that he was saying that he was right we had to capture that boy.

But on the other hand, Leon was so angry to not see that there was the black dress people were there too. Leon heard something and the voice was saying that you should use your hands like your dragon claws.

Then in Riyaan's memory, he remembered one thing in Riyaan's world there was a Spell "Aham Brahmasmi". Leon uses the same Spell and says "Aham Brahmasmi" and then his body glows with overpowered rage and now he raises both of his hands, crosses his hands and spells it "dragon claw". Leon ran so fast from there no one could see him. Everyone says that he teleported from that place. He ran his hand across Kuro's body.

Leon was angry and loudly said, "You know who he is. Who killed my mother, you know that right ."

Kuro said that who killed your mother and also your father is Monster King The Dark Pegasus.

In the end, Kuro was dead. At that time everyone was there just thinking that was what happened here. One person was scared and said that he is not a human, is a monster, and then gave the signal of danger to his commander.

In the signal was written "Please help us here is a monster". At the time Celia was spell " OO! Thorn Spirit Treyni gave me the power of thorn to tie the dragon then Celia said, "Thorn wipe". Then it was tied with the wipe of a thorn.

After Leon was unconscious, the commander of the Royal army arrived at that place to see the monster who was causing the trouble there but there wasn't a single monster there.

Deputy Commander of the all knights "A rank rank Royal guard Charles Miller." Soldier, did you lie to me? "Everyone said not that boy is a monster, how kidnap Princess Flora and killed the family of the shop owner and tried to kill his wife and he killed Kuro the B rank Assissine.

Celia said " Big Brother Charles, we will take care of the Princess and shop owner's wife. Can you investigate that boy in the royal palace prison?

Charles said that "Don't worry Celia we will take care of it. You should go and treat the princess and that lady. OK!" Then they arrest Leon.

Charles was the royal guard, so he took Leon to the palace to punish him for his crime. And investigate him to find out about his members because Kuro tells everyone Leon is the culprit. He was just following him and now he had killed all the members of his team and now he wanted to kill me after that time Leon came out and killed Kuro just like he told everyone. And at that time everyone believed Kuro.

Leon was taken into custody in an interrogation room on the lowest floor of the castle.

"Please wait here. An investigator will be with you shortly," the soldier who escorted him to the room said before leaving the room, the door lock clicking shut behind him.

Leon looked around. There were no windows in the interrogation room, only a wooden table and chair placed in the center. A truly bleak scene to behold. The only way in or out of the room was through the single door, which was locked from the outside. Once the door was locked, it was a completely closed room.

"Guess they don't trust me much but not to mention that uncle and aunt will be here at any time," Leon muttered, unamused at his current situation. For the record, Soldier and the others had rushed away with Flora the moment they handed Leon over to the escorting soldier. He had given them a simple rundown on what happened on the way here, but they'd probably keep him in custody as a primary witness until Flora woke up and confirmed the truth. In the meantime, they'd conduct an official investigation to record his account of events. They wasted no time at all, which made perfect sense. Considering their respective positions and relationships, this kind of treatment was to be expected.

Leon could understand that. But if he was being honest with himself, being in custody wasn't all that fun. He was just happy that Flora was okay. He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he was under suspicion and locked away like a criminal all as a result of being unable to abandon the unconscious girl and carrying her outside. This world was unfair: kindness was shown to the strong, while the weak were defined by irrational rules. Even though he should've known that already Leon heaved a sigh filled with all his frustrations and moved to sit in one of the shabby chairs, which was far from what could be called comfortable. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes with a frown. He had no information, no leads on his future, and no way to change this situation just by thinking about it. So... he decided to wait instead. Soon after his heart had calmed down, the sound of the lock turning could be heard. Then, the door opened, and three men appeared. They were all wearing the knight's uniform of the Royal Guard, but the frontman, who looked to be in Charles, had an especially ornate design embroidered on his. His facial features were well proportioned, but there was something pretentious about the scornful way he looked at Leon. Charles shot Leon a glance before immediately opening his mouth.

"I am Charles Smith, deputy commander of the Royal Guard and the investigator for your case. We're going to ask you a few questions; if you want to be released quickly, then answer honestly," he ordered with an air of superiority.

Leon furrowed his brow as Charles sat down in the seat opposite him.

"Are you the one who kidnapped Her Highness, the Second Princess?"He wanted to know whether Leon kidnapped the princess or not. But on the other hand, he was puzzled by the question of why he killed Kuro. Charles was very sad at that time. Charles did not seem to care about Leon's feelings or anything.

The knight who was serving as the transcriber sat next to Charles and began to record his testimony. The remaining knight stood intimidatingly next to Leon.

"...What if," Leon answered bluntly, " feeling at Charles' humbleness. Charles' said to Leon, " Child, please answer my question correctly, I humbly ask you.

Leon said, " OK. I am telling you correctly. I didn't do anything."

Then where did you find the Second Princess?"

"In a wooden shack in the slums. She was stuffed inside a sack."

"Why were you there?"

"The people who saved me lived in that shack."

"According to the report, they were the ones who took the Second Princess prisoner. Is that true?"

"Seems so. I saw them come back carrying the sack with the princess inside."

And so, the investigation continued. All of it was information he'd already told soldiers on the way to the castle. The documents in Charles' hand probably contained all of that intelligence so that he could cross-check for any inconsistencies as they proceeded with the investigation. Some parts of his testimony put Leon in an unfavorable position, but it was all information that could be clarified with a thorough search. It would have been worse if Leon lied and lost track of the facts, so he decided to answer as honestly as possible.

"So you're saying you weren't involved in the kidnapping of Her Highness, the Second Princess?" Charles asked doubtfully.

"That's right," Leon confirmed without hesitation.

"Hmm... how suspicious," Charles noted. "According to the report, who was trying to kill you and kidnap the second princess, Kuro right?

So why are you the only one alive ?"

"He was defeated."

"By who?"

"By me."

Charles scoffed at Leon's answer.

"You killed him and admit it but why are you killing him? Charles thinks he would've gone through some form of training."

"I admit that I killed him but he killed the owner of the bar and tried to kill Ruby. I was so frantic at the time, I don't even know what happened..."

Leon chose not to tell them about how he had enhanced his own body.

"Hmm. Fine. Now tell me what the real reason is. According to Kuro, "You killed him because you want all the money right. Also tell me how you enhance your body. What do you Spell the name"Aham Brahmasmi " ?"

"I don't want money and also I don't know what the "Aham Brahmasmi" is OK," Leon replied in a rather fed-up tone.

"Our search party is at that shack right now. Their report should arrive shortly. If it's as you say, then we may be able to extract some information from that man..."

Just as Charles finished speaking, a knock echoed from the door.

"Seems like it's here. Open it."

At Charles' order, one of the knights opened the door, and another knight entered the room.

"Excuse me. Here is the report from the search team, Sir Charles," the knight said, leaning in to whisper something to Charles' ear. Charles stared silently at Leon as he listened to the report. Leon watched on in silence, too. Several moments later, Charles scowled unhappily at the report he'd finished listening to.

"...It seems like we have to relocate. Stand up," he ordered Leon.

"Why do we have to relocate?"

"To do the interrogation, obviously."

Leon said, "Looks like something happened, sir".

Charles said, "Knight untying his hands". Knight said Sir what will happen if we untie his hands.

Nothing will happen if something happens I will take responsibility OK.

Then they untied him after that one knight from there tried to attack Leon. But Leon defends it and attacks that knight. Knight attacks Leon because Charles tells Knight to attack him with force to see how a child can easily kill B-rank Assesine.

But Leon thought that everyone was attacking him and that way he attacked everyone who was there when he attacked Charles but one of the knights attacked Leon from behind to his head and Leon to unconsciousness.

Charles said why did you hit him. Knight replied sir because he was trying to attack you that's why I attacked him but I am sorry so I didn't mean to hit him that hard.

Charles said it's okay but I just want to see his ability. I doubt that he killed Kuro. Now we know how he killed Kuro, he has a lot of power.

On the other hand, the king of Pandora City "Roger Watson" has arrived in the City and gone to meet the queen of Pandora City "May Watson".

Queen May tells the king that the flora has been found so don't worry but at the same time, the king tells the queen not to worry as he has not been found yet.

The Queen says I know that we have to meet him now but we will meet him soon. But Kristina and Flora both are fine.

Then the maid comes there and says that the person who had kidnapped the Second Princess has been caught and they are questioning him.

King asks who is investigating him, "The maid said that Charles Smith, Deputy Commander of the Royal Guard is investigating him."

We look at the other side and see that Princess Kristina and Princess Flora have both come to their senses. Then everyone was very surprised that the princess had come to her senses. Celia says to the princesses that they both are fine but at the same time, both of them say that is where he is.

Celia asks both of them who is that princess, "Both say that we are talking about Leon, where he is." Celia says that he had kidnapped Princess Flora which is why Charles is investigating him.

No no, the princess says why he didn't kidnap me, he saved me.

Princess are you saying that he was not the culprit.

Yes he was the one who saved me!

Celia said that one of the maids that go and tell the king and queen that Both the princesses are back to their senses.

Celia runs to the investigation room before they change the prison.

After reaching the investigation room she sees that Leon is unconscious on the ground. She was shocked.
