Shu En's body seemed to tremble when he saw Nanna and Suen standing still. He saw these two Junior High children all right with their mouths open and closed like fish.
On the other hand, Fahren seemed unaffected. He was silent, undaunted.
Waw! I think Fahren is really heartless. Although he was directly the reason the Suen and Nanna families were killed, Fahren did not show any guilt.
I stood up and placed both hands on the shoulders of Nanna and Suen.
"Nanna, Suen, with these two hands, I have finished off and killed the direct perpetrator who killed your family, the Alhold Family. However, for the mastermind, the one who pitted us against and dragged your family, I have not killed or the law. So, I give this right to you. What punishment do you want to drop?"
Nanna's body trembled increasingly stronger. In the end, he turned around and hugged me, immersing his face in my body. No answer came from him.
On the other hand, Suen looked at Fahren and Shu En sharply, fiercely. If his gaze was a sword, he had already killed them many times. Finally, his mouth opened.
"Sister Lugalgin, may I give you some advice?"
"What advice is that?"
"If I may be honest, I think killing them is too light a punishment."
If there are people with optimistic thoughts, they must think Suen will let Fahren and Shu En live, continuing to live with sin and guilt for killing the citizens they should protect. However, I'm not at all sure. He talks to me too often. I can say, the way he thinks has been touched by me.
"I'd rather let them live, but watch their families get killed. Thus, they know what we feel."
Yup. He really caught the way I thought. Our way of thinking is the same. So then....
"I expected you to say it." I shouted, "you heard it, right?"
Along with my shout, the darkness in this place disappeared, replaced by a white light. No one knows this place. Although they have never seen it in person, for sure, they have seen pictures of this place on the internet.
Me, Nanna, Suen, Fahren, and Shu En were in the middle of the fighting arena, where the battle royale took place. All around, there was a grandstand full of people. Yeah, almost all the stands are filled. However, they were not here to see the battle royale. They were all tied up and their mouths gagged.
"In the stands, you can see King Fahren's family and the royal family. In addition, I also present a schneider agent and family who should obey me but even betray. Indirectly, they were the reason Fahren dared to betray me. Of course it's not just them."
Nanna closed her eyes. His embrace is getting tighter. He was burrowing his face deeper into my body. I hugged him tightly, feeling his trembling body, looking terrified. Right now, he must be confused, not knowing what to do.
"I don't care about other agents. I want this family of two!"
Suen raised the tone, half snapping.
"Good,"
I looked in one direction at random. In that instant, several people emerged from the crowd, lifting dozens of people up. Those guys got into the arena, and threw the hostages to my left. In total, there were 29 people lying on the ground.
Everyone has black, blonde, red, white hair, and so on. At the end, there was one male with long brown hair and brown eyes. That man was Liu, son of Shu En. He was the same age as Suen.
Meanwhile, I looked towards one man, Jeanne. He was also tied up and gagged. Jeanne looked at me with watery eyes and a trembling body. Apparently, he was unable to believe what he saw, which was the incident I took the entire royal family hostage. However, supposedly, he was aware this would happen because he also signed the document.
It's not just Jeanne. Some of the royal families who knew me, like Princess Yurika, glared at me.
The only Bana'an royal family not to be held hostage is the Emir. And, he did not show his face for the time being.
While Suen was looking towards the hostages, I looked towards Fahren. His gaze still did not tremble, there was not the slightest conversation.
I ignored Suen and the hostages for a moment.
"Nanna, do you want pu–do you want to move?"
Nanna nodded.
I almost said go home. Nanna has nowhere to go. His sadness would be even worse if he heard me say it.
"Emir!" i'm yelling.
From the crowd, a figure jumped up and landed not far from me. The Emir wore his usual fighting clothes, cargo pants, bulletproof vest, igni suits, and robes. But he was not wearing a mask. He let his face be seen. Let her red hair fall out.
When the Emir comes, all the royal families.no! All the hostages in this place widened their eyes. Their views focus on one man, Emir.
"So, are you supporting Lugalgin?"
"Dad," the Emir replied. "I told you that I would support Lugalgin even if I had to oppose you. Before, I thought you were converted, really wanting a better Bana'an. I'm happy that Lugalgin also devoted his heart and mind to improving the intelligence system of this Kingdom, but,"
The Emir continued, "the father retaliated against Lugalgin's good intentions and efforts with treason. When I heard that the Alholds were doing brainwashing, I wished that my father was also under the effects of brainwashing. But, unfortunately, I don't get any evidence that dad's under the brainwashing effect. I have to accept the fact that my father was willing to sacrifice his people just like that."
"I need to do it," Fahren responded flatly. "I must make a small sacrifice for the whole kingdom."
"No, I don't see their lives as just numbers. However, sacrifice is sometimes needed for the prosperity of the people. They're meritorious. They're heroes."
"Reprival? Sacrifice is a choice. If the Suen and Nanna families choose to sacrifice themselves, they are heroes, meritorious. However, they were sacrificed. They're not heroes, they're just collisions."
"Emir,"
"Shut up!" Emir snarling. "I wouldn't have a father like you."
The Emir walked towards me.
"Emir, listen to me! The emir!"
The Emir ignored Fahren. He lowered his body and placed a hand on Nanna's shoulder.
"Come, we're getting out of here. You don't have to watch this."
Finally, Nanna took off her embrace from me and followed the Emir.
The Emir carried Nanna and left, leaving this place.
On the other hand, without waiting for confirmation from me, Suen had already trampled on the head of one of the princes.
"Basic jerk! Because of your father....."
Suen smiled widely. Very wide. However, his eyes were empty, not glowing. And, despite smiling, Suen shed tears. Right now, if I look at Suen, only pity can I feel.
Meanwhile, I threw a speech, I,
"O you schneider agents who should have sworn allegiance to me. It was you who came to me, declared loyalty and made offers. However, you are also the ones who betrayed. And, because of you, civilians were dragged, killed. Look at this view well. Remember well that the death of this teenage family is your fault. Your fault."
Of course, no one answered. Their mouths are gagged.
"Milk,"
"Yes, Brother?" Suen stopped stepping on the prince and looked at me. Although it stopped, Suen's right foot was still above that person's head.
I took the gun from his back and threw it at Suen.
Suen accepted and looked at it carefully. His hands don't shake. Quite the contrary. His hand held the gun tightly.
I took out another gun from behind my back and approached one of the princesses.
"Gripping handle. Squeeze the trigger, don't pull it. For a beginner like you, I recommend holding it with both hands. Dan, remember! Just point the tip at the person you want to kill. Never point the end at people you don't want to kill."
Suen nodded and pointed his gun at the man below.
When he pulled a gun, several people and a concubine tried to scream. However, their voices did not appear, blocked by the cloth.
"One more time I press, squeeze, don't pull. Thus, your shot will remain straight to the end of the barrel. Like this,"
