I am the King of the Undead

Ch 17: I must lose myself to become another person

Loren looked at the dead Villagers lying before him; there were adults, children, and the elderly.

No one was spared tonight as that is what he wanted to be.

“Loren.” He looked to see who was calling him.

Enidut Pathwarrior, Cecelia, Diloar Swordcarver, and Angelina were making their way to him.

Loren sees only two of them carry a few dead villagers that must have tried to escape.

Sadly these poor souls never had the chance when it comes to Loren's close friends.

“That is all of them as there are no others who have tried to escape.”

Cecelia informs Loren while keeping a close eye on the guards standing behind him.

Not needing to say any words, he looked Cecelia in the eye and she knew right then what was to happen next.

She turned to the others and they too knew what to do now.

Angelina and Enidut Pathwarrior were the first to make a moving charge straight at the guards.

They didn’t have any time to react as those two tore them apart.

Diloar Swordcarver joins as well, shooting arrows from a bow at them.

“Loren, you shake hands.” Cecelia pointed out as he looked at them.

His own hands were shaking like crazy as they were covered in blood from the young girl he killed.

“Ha…. I see, I can have this feeling like, ``I am not there yet, still weak.”

Cecelia placed a hand to his face making Loren look at her.

“You are not weak, what you are working to do will require for you to give up a lot of yourself to become a different person for this world it was never going to be an easy thing to do, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t share the burden with us to make it a little less hard on you.”

Loren smile happy to hear Cecelia say this to him as he feels the bliss to have them with him

It was done as there were no more screams or the sound of something cutting into flesh.

Loren looked to see all of those men were dead.

“Please bring them over and put them with the others.” Loren order.

The dead guards were soon placed alongside the dead Villager and Loren stood before the bodies.

“Then let me start working.” Loren's eyes and hands began to glow in a dark green light.

“I call to you to rise again from the dead to serve me and fight for me as tonight, I call to you as your master.”

Soon all of the dead start to slowly rise by Loren's call.

“incredible. '' Cecelia whispered as this to her was the first time she saw someone using Necromancy to bring the dead back to life.

“Tell my friend Diloar Swordcarver have you found a nice spot to hide my dead soldiers.”

“Yes master, I have a cave not too far from this village with no sign of anything living inside as I check.”

“Good then you and Angelina will stay with me and Cecelia and Enidut Pathwarrior will return to the castle.”

“Understand.” both said and left right away when Cecelia used a teleportation spell.

Loren grabs his horse and gets on it with Angelina jumping on too.

He then ordered the dead to line up behind each other and began moving when Diloar Swordcarver led the way to the cave.

Back at the castle King Garland quickly entered the throne room not wanting to stay around his men who he made kill innocent people they were trained to protect or even go to his room where his wife was sleeping waiting for her husband.

No, this man wanted to be alone to suffer from this painful guilt inside him.

“You have returned my king.” To King Garland's surprise, there was someone inside the throne room.

“Rachelle, what are you doing here?”

“Awaiting for you Garland,” she tells him when the man quickly comes up to her.

“You must not call me by my name or others may hear.”

“Relax my love no one else is here in the throne room beside us two,” Rachelle said while putting a hand against his face.

“Nonetheless it is better to be safe Rachelle as our secrets should never be discovered.”

Rachelle always hated that they have to always be secretive about their relationship, but she understands why it must be this way.

“So how did it go with Prince Loren my king,” Rachelle asks while the king brings himself to sit on his throne.

“It was horrible Rachelle to have done it, I can not see myself as the king, I was after this, I hope this was worth it to him.”

“How did Prince Loren feel about it?”

“Prince Loren showed no expression of emotion to what we did, I even saw him kill one of the villagers which I did not believe he would do.”

Rachelle brought herself close to the king.

“Should you be following this crazy prince on his mad quest because to me, I see him as a threat to this kingdom and you king.”

“I can do nothing about it now as there is no way to turn back, I have done it now, but that doesn’t mean that I can deal with the prince, once my daughter has received his seed when Loren Chandler dies.”

Loren, Angelina, and the dead following behind have finally reached the cave that Diloar Swordcarver has told them.

“This is the cave I have found for you. It should do nicely for the time being since your army will grow faster than a normal one. We may have to expand inside the cave or seek out another place.”

Loren and Angelina get off the horse both entering inside along with their friend Diloar Swordcarver.

“Yes, I believe this will do nicely, thank you, my friend.”

“It is nothing, my master, I am always happy to serve you.”

Loren then had the dead come inside the cave.

“The next part is going to take a great time as you two will now help me cut off the flesh from these bodies.”
