Then abruptly Aaron saw John taking out the blade. God knows since when he intended to kill him, unwinding from his cloth hopped and threw it. It seemed he was prepared from before. The attack was very precise and accurate. It must be due to his luck and not because of any good skills. John's kill in military is like five-years child's handwriting. The old dude beside John shook in surprise and couldn't stop him in time.
He is late again.
"Young master wait!!!"
If Aaron dodged the attack, it would directly hit Ace, so he hugged Ace who was still in a bad mood. In a wink, a short and high yell left his mouth. The time seemed to stop for a while. He never thought John would attack him in front of Ace. Aaron underestimated John's craziness. His forehead was instantly covered in sweat and smiled at Ace who was still in a trance before passing out. So sudden that no one knew what happened for a moment. The attack was at a fatal place which caused him to forfeit consciousness.
Jerry cried out in shock and yelled at Jon, "General! You!! How dare you do this?"His face turned pale and cold swears started appear.
John, however, was still calm and collected, he candidly stared at Aaron's wound. It is bleeding. The blood splashed on the golden carriage. It is just the way he wanted. He always wanted to kill him till he could see the blood splashing through his heart. John, as if felt amused, he even laughed.
"He fucking laughed!" The action was so wretched and outrageous that Jerry couldn't believe it at all. Cracking up, John spoke out, "Look at his drenched face, aww he is dying. Now he is over. Stephan let's go back, you are being unreasonable and childish. Our parents have already talked about our marriage. Leave that bastard."
Eyes wide open in disbelief. Ace had his hand touch Aaron's back and found a sharp dagger stuck right below the chest. Blood flowing continuously. His eyes became bloodshot within a second due to rage.
He called the ball out and ordered, 'Make him stop his bleeding right now! Diminished his pain! Do it fast!!!'
Looking at continuous blood flowing from his chest, Ace felt his own heart pierced by a knife. He frowned and his eyes evidently filled with tears. The tears from his redden eyes seemed as if flow out with blood. He appeared crazy.
The pink ball nodded and used some system packages to help Aaron, "It's done. You take him to an imperial doctor for a thorough checkup. The original wound must be remedied by the doctor of the world itself. I can only make him feel less pain, and nothing else."
Ace hopped down from the carriage and ran into the camp, ignoring John, and the Eunuch was long gone to call the doctor.
"Ah! Where are you going?" asked Jon. Unhappiness is evident in his voice. But Ace didn't reply. His focus was all on Aaron, who was paled due to blood loss.
Jerry looked back hatefully and followed Ace hurriedly. His master was in love with Crown Prince, so it's fine to have believe in him.
Wherever they stepped the blood dripped. Ace was already on the verge of collapsing. He can't help but control the rage in his heart. He feared this would lead to the demise of everyone here.
He took Aaron along with Jerry behind him into the camp, making everyone aware of what happened outside. They were practicing, so no one came out before.
"What happened to the General, he was alright a moment ago?!!" Their voices raising at the mere sight of unclear situation. Everyone had that anxious look that is very genuine.
The camp fell under chaos. Ace said to Jerry, he voice trembling, "Go tell everyone about what happened outside. Take them out first. Don't hide anything. The imperial doctor will arrive here in a minute, so don't worry about it. He is mine." Then he stared at Jerry for a while before asking, "You got what to say, right?"
Jerry nodded hurriedly after fear and shock. He almost thought he heard wrong but seeing his gentle eyes on General he couldn't doubt anymore. A part of his heart was super happy but the other hand be felt distress. Even though he took the task in hand and led the soldiers out. He informed every Soldier standing outside the camp. There was raging fury in them.
They started to curse, "So what if he is the son of the Right or Left minister? Does being the son of someone with a higher status give them the right to kill anyone? Huh? He is so arrogant and unreasonable. "
"I heard him to be kind; huh, is this his kindness everyone talks about. This person surely is insane."
"Right!! Our general as an upper-rank soldier never treated anyone with inequity, he doesn't deserve this."
"We must send him to the war. Let's go and tie him up. I want to see how long he can survive. With his small frame he would be flat up in just few seconds."
"Killing him is not a big deal. Even though he is noble, doing such an outrageous thing is unforgivable."
"Let me kill that bastard! What the hell does he think he is? Coming to our army base and making cahoots here." He grabbed the sword hilt and added, "Dying for General is nothing if I could avenge him by killing this heartless moron."
The soldiers grew more agitated. Then Jerry said with high spirits, "Don't worry, Crown Prince will deal with him. You, people, don't know this, but our General and the Prince are lovers."
"Huh? What?!!! " Shock scatter. The soldiers took quite a moment before bursting out. The previous fury to just kill Jon was vanished and from this instant a new atmosphere painted their mind.
When the outside is in uproar, the eunuch came in a hurry with a doctor who was dripping cold sweat continuously. Looking at Ace, whose face was dreadfully cold, the doctor examined Aaron fearfully. The doctor gave local anesthesia. He carefully extracted the dagger. Aaron frowned, which made Ace anguished to death.
The doctor said, his face was dead serious after a thorough checkup, "The wound is so deep. If a second was late, then the consequences would have been unimaginable. The dagger was right beneath the General's chest, making it risky. If not for pure luck he could be dead by now."
The doctor admired his will to live even in so much pain, "The healthy body must be the reason he stayed this long. The young general is outstanding. If there was anyone else, they would have died right after the hit. For a few months, let him rest, and don't let him move. Give him light food without chilly…"
He added still feeling extremely surprised unable to back out from the shock, "He is the second person who could live after getting pierced through his chest. General is lucky."
Ace heard it and again fell into the traumatic situation. If Aaron didn't wake up, what would he do? No, no, no. Aaron will be alright. Yeah, he must be alright. If not, I will not leave anyone here. He will kill everyone. He did everything because Aaron won't die till his destined time. If he knew that even though he won't die but something like this would happen, he wouldn't have done all this. Ace blamed himself, but he still doesn't know how the heck did Jon get the news of Jenal and made a request to his father.
The system had give him three choices. The three choices, and the two of them were life-threatening and only this way to push John's blackening level was safe. His blackening above 50% triggered the magic effect of the world. Ultimate leading to activation of the hidden mission. The two choices, one was to have an actual confrontation with the king and queen, which would have resulted in outrageous backfire and even downfall of the nation, and the second was to actually have myself involved with John. The two options were not acceptable at all!
Looking at his state of mind the fluffy system said, "Host calm down. Aaron is alright. I have contacted his system and he said everything is under control. Nothing will happen. So, calm down, okay?"
Ace nodded and calmed himself before anything bad happened. The doctor listed medication and was searching for Jerry, but Ace said, "Give it to me. I will take care of him."
The doctor stood dumbly for a moment before passing the medicine list to Ace. He took his leave and right after stepping out of the room he ran away.
Like something terrifying is chasing him.
Ace stayed with Aaron for two hours and when everything was confirmed to be okay, he walked out. To face Jon with a dark face who was surrounded by soldiers, listening to ridicule. This moron. Still hasn't left. He really has no shame at all. Almost killing a person, he still has face to act like a victim. This is utterly ridiculous and laughable.
His scary cold eyes mopped over John. He grabbed the sword hilt from a soldier and directly wielded it. And with full anger, he roared," I have tolerated you enough. Who do you think you are?" The eunuch came in time and grabbed his hands, which were holding a sword. Even though they all hated John, they could not let the Crown Prince murder, John. It would become a capital disgrace.
The soldiers were shocked looking at his sight. He still is the Crown prince, but he appeared more beastly soldier on the battlefield. The rigor he had when he grabbed the hilt of the sword was something very impeccable. The Crown Prince was really admirable. His eyes filled with rage. His clothes were bloodied. His golden long hair is fluttering with wind. No one uttered even a whispering noise at this moment.
Ace didn't bother to be reasonable with anyone, he shook off the hand on him with the sword. He raised his hands and slapped across John's cheeks. The 'pa' sound shocked everyone. The surroundings grew silent, and John was stuck at the ground. His nose and lips bleeding.
Ace looked at John and shouted, "What did you think of when assailing him? Even if he doesn't have your disgusting high status, he has me as his man." The word 'his man' shocked the soul out of John.
John ignored his injury and said, "What are you saying, Stephen? He is just a lowly General. How can you be so unfair and treat me like this? I deserve you, not him!! He is just a nobody and God knows which bastard's son he is." his face which was known as beautiful has now crumbled.
Ace felt if he didn't kill this man, he would not have peace of mind. How dare this man! Just how dare he even claim to love him? His face showed fury, "Young Master Allen must be watchful. I don't care if Father and Mother for the sake of Right Minister Allen forgive you." he paused and said, appearing high and mighty.
"Because they have no right to do so. Today my love is hurt, and I can't forgive you even if I kill you."
The surrounding air was ruthless. There was a rumor saying, the crown Prince killed twenty guards because they raped a woman. He had a different level of respect for women. But the rumor was suppressed due to his benevolent attitude. He is wise but ruthless to the core. He never listens to the king and queen. Once he said something, he would not or say never rescinded it. His words are the ultimate judgment. Now, seeing his actions and words, the rumor mostly turns out to be true.
He looks at John as if he is already dead. Indifferent to everyone. His always smiley attitude made people think that he would never do anything to harm anyone. But they are wrong if he was angered, he would not stop unless he taught that bastard a lesson. For some reason this attitude is more pleasing than that of the benevolence one he had.
