Can Persephone stop Zadicus?
“Don’t condemn yourself and the entire Fier to death.” She pleaded, readying to do whatever it takes to halt his actions but this was the extent he could bear.He must stop the intoxication of her words stirring his mind.“Or what?!” He yelled, slamming his hand on the wall, appearing to crack on it, indicating the difference in their power. Exhaling his rage before giving her a predatory gaze.Her breath hitched, taking a step back. It was fine if it was anyone but hearing it from him, startled her for a second. “What do you think you can do to stop me?!” He yelled, losing his breath, barely controlling his overflowing power that was dying to release itself.And her words are only enhancing their intensity.“Mindless of you to assume your words could leave any impact.” He growled, showing the scorn she induced in him.l “Your weakness, these fatuous words. All of them are meaningless. They won’t affect me.” He told her bitter truth, the knitted brows displaying his exasperation.“Do
“Enough, Zadicus.” A strong cold voice came, stopping Zadicus instantly to knock out Persephone.Knitting his brows together, he looked up only to find the least person he wanted to confront there with dead eyes, staring into his, halting his attack.“Kriss.” He called, moving his hand back. Stopping his actions and giving all his attention to him.“I believe you have reached a point beyond limits.” Kriss began to say, scrutinizing the situation knowing he was too late.“And you should stop now.” He added, stopping his death-stare at him, the glint of hopelessness was clear but it’s of no use. “And who do think you are to stop me?” Zadicus asked, arching a brow in amusement.He believed Kriss could never raise his hands against him. He is not that ruthless to subdue emotions and take actions.“Then proceed.” Kriss replied softly, moving to the side, giving Zadicus the access to kill Persephone which stiffed both of them.“Kriss?” Persephone called, thinking she witnessed the wrong si
Back to the Gray Demise who were indulging in the slaughter they were ordered to cause by their Leader, most people made it to the shelter and some fell victim to those predators.“Ah, this is exhilarating.” Ruth giggled after wiping out an entire building of innocent citizens without shredding a single hint of compassion.“My Liege sure is generous today, right, Leona?” She smirked, licking the blood on her fingers, emitting a strong graceful aura, observing the area.“Yeah. I didn’t expect him to order us to go wild but it was a good stretch.” Leona nodded, sitting on the rooftop. “Yeah but sadly, I didn’t get to fight any nobel. Not even one commander.” She whined but relaxed at the moment and let her sister do the work in her stead as well while she wallowed in the beautiful night with a faint smile on her lips.“Maybe he doesn’t feel anything for this piece of land anyways, that's why ordered to rip this apart.” Ruth asked, wiping the blood on her hand and walking to Leona.Glan
And when the orders to retreat were being launched, Daphne was still busy fighting Randall, they were engaging in a fiery battle to stall time for their leaders.They both fought hard to the point of panting badly and being exhausted but refusing to stop before one of them died.“Seems like strict actions have been taken from your side.” Daphne smirked after sensing Imperial guards spreading in the country and killing their people with thundering speed.“You will regret coming here.” Randall smirked, jumping back before registering his next move to end this quickly and go back to his position, this is stretching too much.“I think the opposite, Sir Randall.” Her smirk grew wider, jumping back on the cliff, putting her hand on her waist, noticing the signal on the sky to go back.“Tsk. Don’t call my name.” Randall scoffed, disliking his name on a criminal’s mouth.“Heaven’s Wrath!” Pressing his feet further in the ground, he slammed his hand on the ground and walls began to emerge, blo
Later, a conference was called among the nobles to discuss the damage done to the country which was irrecoverable. “Damn you, Zadicus! His marauding devastated my country!” His Majesty growled, slamming his hand down after hearing the terrible reports taking place. “I apologize, Father. Engaging in a fight or any action could have been fatal for both of us.” Kriss sighed, apologizing for letting him go. Cutting the part he let him go. “No, It’s okay. I surely do not prefer my country to fall apart over a fight.” He sighed, leaning back, holding his forehead due to extreme stress after seeing the crucial state of Aziel. But his eyes fell upon Persephone who held a harsh feature on her face, jaw clenched with dead eyes but smiled, pointing at her. “Ah, I am glad Persephone was there to handle this. I am so proud of you.” The praise from His Majesty caught her off-guard. Her mouth gaped, turning to him, blinking because all her focus was on Kriss’ words and her actions that are i
Back to Zadicus’ Castle; Pure Menace.The commanders returned after a hectic night, indulging in their own company.Leona and Ruth were walking down the corridor to the western hall only to find a certain man sleeping there, his muscles ripping from his shirt.Hands covering his face, snoring in his sleep, deeply relaxed but frowning deeply at his tardiness, Leona hissed.She walked closer, putting her hand on her waist, mocking him to break his rhythm of rest.“Well, well, look at our honorable asshole, Ruth, who didn’t bother to come at the riot.” She ridiculed him, smirking but the fury on her face was clear.The leniency he gained was pissing her off to do whatever he wants and no one questions him.“Ah my, must have been hard for your weak leg to get up and follow a damn order, right, Sir Tristan?” She continued to deride him but snarling that she broke her sleep, he removed his hands.His stoic handsome features with the perfect tan complexion, glaring at her, plopping on his el
They stopped whatever they were doing and turned to him, bowing with their hand on the chest. “My Liege.” They all called him, not lifting their gazes from the ground until he waved his hand to gesture to them to ease up. “Avin.” He called coldly, mind lingering about what happened, her words, her sight, afflicting his mind. “Yes, My Liege?” He asked, trying to remain unaffected about everything and focus on his work more than someone’s words. “How many of us made it?” He asked, glancing at Tristan and others for a second before turning back to Avin. “I am afraid, My Liege. We lost seven of our commanders.” Avin said, looking down, worried by his reaction because his wrath would be unbearable for them. “What were their ranks?” He asked because if they were among his best ones, all of them were going to be in great trouble. He placed his trust on his top seven and the rest are only sacrificial pawns and if the top seven dies, he would ensure he avenge their death, they all mean t
“What can you do for me?” Persephone asked, pressing her palm on Zadicus’ chest, staring intensely into his affectionate gaze. He smirked, putting his hand over hers, creating an everlasting link of eyes, whispering the honest reply, “I can abandon this world for your sake.” Persephone all alone, looking out while hugging herself recalling a painful memory which broke her heart terribly. Lowering her eyes, she stared at her hand, whispering with difficulty. “But, you left me for the world…” Seeing him again was too painful for her, watching him after all those years brought back the unwanted memories. His one glance dug the pain she buried, her imagination where they have fallen apart is not wavering. And their distances are killing her. Why did you come back? Why are you torturing me like this? Is it easy for you? She thought, pressing her hand on the balustrade. Her lips were trembling, eyes were filled with moisture but she took a deep breath to suppress it. “Why are y
