“What happened?” Archduke asked the knights, who fell onto the ground.
One of the knights responds, “Your grace you said she was dead, but she just moved.”
Archduke Lelouch frowned as he stared at the knight. “Are you saying I lied?” He asked. The Lelouch family controls all doctors, nurses, and medical pharmacies in the Empire. From a young age, they teach the successor’s medical knowledge. But Alad Lelouch was a genius at both medicine and sword. He became a certified doctor at eighteen and a first-class Aura user at twenty. So, saying that he misdiagnose a dead person would be a dishonor to the Lelouch line.
The Knight stood up from the ground and bowed his head. “My Apologies, your grace.” He apologized. They tried carrying her again, but as soon as they touched her. Her eyes opened. The knights backed away quickly due to the shock. Her eyes were a different color. They changed from a beautiful blue to a burning red.
A burst of loud laughter echoed. “Ha hahaha. She couldn’t even kill herself. Hahaha.” A fat noble with red hair said. This caused the other Nobles to laugh at Aria.
*Whoosh*
While they were laughing a gust of wind blew inside the throne room, causing everyone to close their eyes. “She’s gone!” The knight yelled as he looked around for Aria’s body.
*Kyaaaah*
A woman screamed in fear. Everyone turned in her direction to see why she screamed. What they saw shocked them. The fat red-haired noble was laying in a pool of his blood with his head severed from his body. This sent fear into the heart of the nobles.
*Whoosh*
Another gust of wind blew by. “kyaaah. Help me!” a woman yelled in fear. But no one could tell where it came from. Archduke Lelouch took a sword from a knight. “Knights! guard his majesty.” He ordered as he held the sword in front of him, ready for a fight. “Help! Help! I Am up here.” A voice echoed from above.
Archduke Lelouch looks up and sees a woman hugging the chandelier. Due to his enhanced senses, Lelouch could see the face of the woman, that was fifty feet in the air. “Countess Watson, how did you get up there?” Lelouch asked while looking up. Shaking with fear as she held tightly onto the chandelier. “I don…don’t know. When I opened my eyes, I was here. Please save me.” she said in a shaky tone.
“Ok. calm down, countess. You would have to trust me. Jump down from there and I’ll catch you. Can you trust me?” Archduke Lelouch asked in a calming tone. But she did not budge. Her husband ran underneath the chandelier and yelled. “It’s okay, Ariadne, you can trust the duke. He’ll catch you. There is nothing to be scared of. right??” he said while looking at the archduke with a crooked smile.
Lelouch could see that the count had placed all his hope in him to save his wife. He looked into the count’s eyes. “I’ll save her,” he said, reassuring the count. Lelouch released his aura and covered his hands with them. This way, it can neutralize the force from the fall. He stood under the chandelier with both arms stretched forward and his feet planted on the ground. “Countess on the count of three, let go, nod if you understand?” he said.
She nods yes.
“Ok. one… two… three!” Countess Watson lets go and fell. While she was falling, a gust of wind passed by and caused Lelouch’s vision to be blocked. After the wind passed, he looked up and saw red. Countess Watson had been split into pieces in mid-air. her guts and blood fell onto her husband and Archduke Lelouch. Lelouch looked down at his hand; the only thing he could catch was her severed head.
Covered in his wife’s blood, count Waston broke down. “No-no-no-nooo… Ariadne can’t be dead… the Archduke will save her,” he said while picking her pieces off the floor. Lelouch saw that the count had gone insane due to the shock. He dropped her head to the ground and brought out his sword. “Come out and face me, you witch. I said I would save her, and you dare to kill her. I’ll wet this blade with your blood.”
“Hoo. how scary. Men of the great Thorka empire. Scared! of one woman. Ha hahaha.” Aria’s evil laughter echoed throughout the hall, spreading fear and panic.
Lelouch tried tracking Aria’s location through her voice, but she was moving too fast to track. As a third-class aura user, this was the first time Lelouch has ever fought with someone so fast he can’t track them with any of his enhanced senses.
Aria spoke from different directions all at once. “My father trusted the Thorka empire till the end. He said you would protect us. But what did you do when Giggadon empire attacked your allies? Nothing. You did nothing like cowards. Well, it doesn’t matter anymore, 'cause with the power I possess I’ll do something.”
*Whoosh*
“Hrrrk… wait… knights… help.” The emperor yelled silently, gasping for air on his throne. as Aria was choking him with her right hand. “What a surprise. I thought the emperor of the ‘Great’ Thorka empire was strong, but he turned out to be a weak, old, dying man.” It was Aria’s first time seeing the emperor’s face. Because the throne was so high you could only see his feet. She leaned in and whispered to the emperor, who was running out of breath. “The men who tried to force themselves on me must die,” she said with an evil smile on her face.
“Save the emperor!” Lelouch yelled while running towards the throne. The three knights guiding the step leading to the throne dashed toward Aria with their swords drawn.
“You are too slow,” Aria said. As she ripped the emperor’s head and spine out of his body. She was moving so fast that it seemed as if time had stopped. Aria used the emperor’s spine as a sword and beheaded the first knight. She moved towards the second knight and split him in half, then threw the spine at the third knight piercing through his skull. It only took her five seconds to kill four people.
“Noooo!” Lelouch yelled in rage.

My lord."Cyra said, locking eyes with Lord Phames. Their hands clasped, fingers intertwined as they twirled and waltzed in the heart of the ballroom, surrounded by the elegance of the moment."You are mistaken…"Lord Phames said, pausing momentarily as he skillfully guided the dance. With a graceful movement, he gently pushed Lady Cyra away.*WHOOSH*"What is he doing?!..."Cyra thought in her mind with a surprised expression after she was pushed. She realized her balance was thrown off by the sudden push and she was going to fall. Strangely, she wasn't scared, as she could still feel Phames's touch, through her gloves.Just As Cyra's fingers were about to slip from his palm, Lord Phames, with imp

I expected the capital to descend into chaos and panic without the Emperor at its head. However, after locking down the capital, they are handling the situation better than I imagined. But I wonder how they will react to the present I have, prepared for them." Helena thought as she leaned back on the throne with a plotting smile.*BAM**CREAK*"…?"Hearing the loud sound of the Throne Hall's heavy stone doors opening, Helena turned her gaze to the hall entrance, to see Grace walking in."Grace?... It seems all her injuries have healed." Helena thought with a slight smile as she watched Grace walk towards her.*****************************************A FEW MOMENTS LATER.After a while, Grace arrived at the end of the throne steps and fell to her knees immediately, bowing her head.*THUD**WHOO

Lord Phames actually kissed her on the hand!"Lady Fiora of House Merewind exclaimed in astonishment, while surrounded by a group of other noble ladies."How could that commoner's daughter simply stand there while he did that? She ought to be on her knees, showing gratitude for such an opportunity." Lady Justina of House Quickfire remarked, her tone dripping with disdain and disgust."It appears this commoner's daughter, needs to be taught her place." Lady Annelore of House Merewind added, glaring at Cyra with a malicious expression."I heard from my mother that when a nobleman gets close to a commoner woman, he becomes bewitched. They supposedly sprinkle love potions on their clothing, so that when the nobleman inhales it, he falls in love with them."Lady Thessaly of House Starfrost said."I heard the same from my elder sister. She said her husband

INNER CAPITAL WESTERN WING – RAINBRIDGE ESTATE*CLIP-CLOP**CREAKING* (sound of carriage)The loud sounds of horses’ hooves, striking a cobblestone path and carriage creaking wheels, resounded in the air as multiple horse-driven carriages, drove towards a grand building in the distance. And in one of those carriages, two sisters are in an anxious state, as it is their first time attending a high society party.“… it's been almost thirty minutes since we entered the Estate, and we still haven’t arrived at the ballroom yet…”Lily said in an anxious tone as she opens the blinds and gazed out the carriage window. What she saw left her in awe—an expansive landscape adorned with grand buildings and structures.“Wow... This is a duke's estate... it's so huge! It must be larger than two districts in the outer capital... I wonder just how much larger their estate in the Western territory is. if the one in the capital is already this massive!”Lily said with an excited tone and expression as sh

INNER CAPITAL CITY - SOMWHERE.“Be careful of your own shadow; for it might hide more than you realize.”Emperor Maximus said, as he emerged from behind Helena, stepping out of her shadow. His sword's blade, deeply embedded in her back, piercing through her chest.*THUD*“COUGH!!... How did you”Helena exclaimed, after coughing out blood. As she turned to Emperor Maximus, her face twisted in shock and agony.“Did you truly believe I could be defeated with such a meager display of power? That was nothing more than a mere shadow double.”Emperor Maximus said with a condescending tone and expression.“Even with an energy more powerful than mana and Aura, this is all your strength amounts to. What a waste… Don’t worry; I will be using your power to its full potential, after extracting it from your corpse… Any last words before you die?”Emperor Maximus asked.“Cough…Ha…haha… Did you think you’ve won!? HA-HAHAHAHA!”Helena exclaimed, erupting into maniacal laughter before her body dissolve

Your Majesty, who do you think emerged victorious?"Master Zurrick asked Emperor Maximus after noticing Chamberlian Eadulf’s Domain began to dissipate.“From the pressure he released it would be difficult for Eadulf to win, but since he got into Eadulf’s Aura domain… well, we’ll just wait and see.”Emperor Maximus replied.****************************************************************A MINUTE LATER.Once Chamberlain Eadulf's Aura Domain had fully dissipated, Emperor Maximus and Master Zurrick were met with a startling sight. The hooded figure, previously ensnared by Eadulf's Domain, now stood unharmed, casually dragging an object with a single hand as they strolled forward.*SCRAPE! * [Sound effect of dragging an object]“I must say… he had a strong determination and will.
