Love of the Empress 2: King and Queen

The Fight of Two Former Partners

"We need to split up. Just look. I'll distract them. You continue to go to the emergency place that has been prepared by the queen of Tasya. Take Queen Charrine and her daughter to that place. Wait for a few days, just send a red signal to the queen Tasya. If I manage to distract the enemy, I will meet you at that place three hearts from now on. Now, go!" Aro gave orders to his two subordinate soldiers.

One of the two seemed reluctant to follow the plan. So he proposes to accompany Aro. But Aro refused.

"Don't deny the orders! Why did I tell you two to go with the target (meaning queen Charrine and princess Rinaya)? That's because if it's three days later I don't meet you at that place, then one of you should give the latest news to the queen of Tasya. While the other one is on guard. Understood?!" Aro forced his orders.

"Ready, captain!" The two soldiers were compact.

"Good! Now, go!" Aro repeated his orders.

But again, some seem to object to this plan. This time it was Queen Charrine herself.

The Goluth queen restrained Aro's arm which was about to roll back to where they had come. So that Aro again had to hold patient to know what the queen wants.

"Wouldn't you be as good as your Master coming with us too? How can you fight all the guards of the enemy side by yourself?" Queen Charrine also lodged her protest.

"Who said that servants would fight them? Take it easy, Your Majesty. The servant will only outwit the enemy by creating a false escape route. So at a minimum, we have more time to escape. Now, go, Your Majesty! Our time is urgent at this time!" Aro gave his warning again.

"Ka...Then tell me, what's your name, sir? My daughter and I owe you our lives!" Ask the queen expectantly.

Queen Charrine aka Karina really felt grateful for finally being able to break free from her golden prison. And he will always remember these four soldiers who saved him.

Although Karina finds out that it was Tasya who ordered the soldiers in black uniforms to save her and Rinaya. Either Tasya has known Karina's true identity or not. Karina is very grateful with the hope of being reunited with her best friend soon.

Aro looked at the queen at a glance. Before finally giving her name to Queen Charrine.

"The name of the servant is Aro.. Your Majesty."

The shadow soldier then darted away towards the direction they came earlier. Leave the queen who still brazes her name firmly in the heart.

"Aro. a name that is short and easy to remember," Karina murmured on the empty air in front of her.

In the middle of the desert, the next half hour..

Two black figures clashing swords. It was obvious one of the figures had been cornered with the agile movements of his opponent's swordplay. Several cuts and cuts were seen to bleed from the figure's hands, feet and body. While the figure who wins the fight looks relaxed serving the efforts of his opponents who begin to look tired.

"It has. Give up, Aro. You also know that you can't win against me. You've only been practicing swords for less than three years. While I have known the sword since I was a child. Surrender then. And I'll let you live!" Say the person who won the duet fight.

Aro, who looked exhausted from enduring the pain of incision wounds all over his body, now focused his body on the long sword he had thrust into the ground.

Aro knew that the speech of the figure in front of him was indeed there. But he always had a commitment to stay true to what he believed in.

When he joined the shadow army three years ago, it was done by force. So that Aro does not have the satisfaction of his profession.

But after getting to know the two rulers of Nevarest who became the target of his supervision, Aro began to have hopes to help create a better life order. As witnessed all this time, he was always sought by the king and queen of Nevarest.

Aro tried to draw in as much oxygen as he could. While not taking his eyes off his fighting opponent.

"I don't want to give up, Ril. Isn't this a good opportunity to train with you? All this time you have always rejected my invitation to practice the sword." said Aro while chuckling softly.

Yep. Aro's current opponent is none other than Deril. His shadow army partner first.

Deril stared flatly at Aro. A rough-sounding sigh came out from his nose.

"I don't understand. Why did you decide to betray the Top Leader, Ro? Isn't what the Top Leader has given you so far more than enough?" Deril asked curiously.

Derik decided to take a rest. He now places his weight on the sword that he struck on the ground.

"Well, maybe it's been my destiny, Ril. Obviously, I am satisfied with my choice. Now I'm sure that I've sided with the right people. Good person," Aro replied casually.

"Sad. Good man..What is the benefit of being a good man, Ro? More often good people are always the months of greedy humans. Life is only once. Enjoy it as best you can!" Deril gave his advice.

"Hahaha, your philosophy sounds so sweet, Ril. But, is it with the philosophy and path you have chosen until now, that your heart is truly satisfied? Are you really happy?" Aro asked with a cheerful looking smile.

Deril raised next to his eyebrows.

"Non sense! You're bragging too much, Ro. Like her you too have fallen to her stupid two rulers of Nevarest!" Deril Eject.

Aro did not immediately reply to Deril's taunts. He only gave his former colleague his cheerful smile again for a few moments. Before finally commenting.

"I know what you're thinking, Ril. Do you really feel emptiness not in your heart?" Aro commented.

"Fuck up! Quiescent. Let's just continue this fight!" Take Deril who starts to pull back his sword from the ground.

"You can have fun with the night women you like, or eat all the delicious food and wine you want, you also realize that emptiness in your heart is not it, Ril?" Oceh Aro further.

"Shut up!! Just be ready, Ro. Think of it as our first and last sword practice. So, don't blame me if you have to lose your life on this occasion!" Seru Deril who has taken a swing to return to attack.

"Oh. Okay, don't hesitate, Ril. I'm already happy enough to finally be able to fight with you as well. I'm just asking for help, don't break my body?" Pinta Aro with a smile.

For a moment, Deril is ambushed by doubt to attack his former comrade. But he strengthened his heart again. And he finally no longer hesitated to do his sword dance against Aro.

It didn't take long, before Aro's body fell onto the sand in a remote town in the kingdom of Allain. Aro was no longer able to stand up because Deril had inflicted too many wounds on his hands, body and legs.

Aro began to pant because of difficulty breathing. And in such conditions Deril decided to leave his former colleague.

Before leaving Aro, Deril took the time to say his farewell sentence.

"Good sleep, Ro. I'm sorry, for not being able to complete your miserable life!" Pamit Deril, before finally disappearing.
