The Second Life's

XCIX - Queen's Coup (IV)

Idris—mau don't want—followed me from behind. Hendery remained on standby with his sword behind Idris. I walked down the corridors of the palace filled with the bodies of the soldiers and servants. Not wanting to linger, I walked straight by stepping on all of their bodies without hesitation.

I'll apologize for that later. And about Rose Hindley, I don't have to worry anymore because I've tied it with a magic rope.

From the second floor, a loud noise was still heard. Mana Ava was mixed with dense dark magic. After ascending to the top, the origin of his chaos was in the main hall of Emperor XIX.

I haven't been there yet and looking inside, Consort Sienna has already thrown out the room and redeemed the wall. I'm surprised by that.

Ava came out of the main room and looked at me. He smiled for a moment and pulled Consort Sienna to get up. He made Concubine Sienna again get hurt with her magic. But, I still feel that Concubine Sienna can't just die.

“Idris, help me,” ask Concubine Sienna in a dreamy tone. “They tried to kill me! If I die, you won't be able to unite with Charlotte.”

Whahuh?

Idris yells. And unexpectedly, he tried to snatch Hendery's sword. Because Hendery is still in serious mode, his sword is not easily taken for granted by Idris.

“Whispering!” snapped Ava. “Quick take out your magic. You'd be harder to die if you kept it.”

Concubine Sienna laughed. “You don't know, huh? Daritadi I absorbed your mana!”

Ava laughed too. He slapped Concubine Sienna until the woman grimaced in pain. “You will explode because it has absorbed mana thanks to me.”

“Queen, do I have to hurt the Emperor?” asked Hendery, turning my eyes to Ava and Concubine Sienna.

I was shocked when Idris looked back and lunged at me. Only then did I know that Idris prevented Consort Sienna from stabbing me with a knife. As a result, Idris was stabbed by the knife.

Ava pulled her magic rope around the neck of Consort Sienna then kept Consort Sienna out of our reach.

“Haha! Emperor, you are so stupid. Is my influence my magic over?” ejek Concubine Sienna.

Idris was silent. He still pierced me with a stomach soaked in blood. Ava had already secured the knife held by Consort Sienna.

However, it seemed like it was a blade from the darkness magic of Concubine Sienna. Because when Ava pulled the knife in the right hand of Consort Sienna, in her left hand appeared again the same knife.

The knife hurt Ava's left eye, causing Ava to scream in pain. The grip of the magic rope was released, making Consort Sienna managed to escape. When I was about to go after him, Ava had already banned me first.

“Let him go,” said Ava, who is now holding her left eye full of blood. “You take care of the Emperor. I'll take care of Consort Sienna. I hope you hurry up, I will destroy this palace.”

It seems Ava is furious.

I distanced myself from Idris and stood up. “How about your eyes?”

“Only small scratches.” Ava wiped the blood from her eyes and left the three of us.

I sighed and looked at Idris again. He pressed down on her stomach and looked at me with a sad look. As if I were going to do to him.

“I'm guilty, Charlotte,” Idris told me. Was he indeed taken advantage of by Consort Sienna and now he was conscious? “I'm sorry.”

“I won't thank you for the action you did earlier,” I said coldly. “You deserve it.”

“Are we not able to unite?” Idris shed tears. “Both then, or now. I messed up our harmonious relationship.”

“Sorry, Charlotte. I'm mistaken. But, I still love you,” said Idris. “You are always in my heart. I can't live without you.”

B*this bastard makes me want to make his life come to an end from bullshit.

“Keep talking as if I were listening to him,” I said. I closed my eyes, and opened my palm above his head. I had to take all his memories to find out the truth he knew. “You can go to the afterlife first.”

Idris smiles. “Dead in your hand, not bad.”

Prends sa memoire pour moi.

I chanted that magic spell three times in my heart. And the effect makes Idris like electrocuted. His body convulsed and his puncture wounds could not be held anymore.

Fresh blood came out from the wound. It made Idris even weaker and almost unconscious. Idris screams of pain, filling the second-floor corridor filled with building debris.

“Don't be detained, you'll be in more pain,” I told Idris. About two minutes passed, all the memories I needed from him, I had. “Knight Franklin, give me your sword.”

Hendery approached me and gave me one of his swords. I received the sword and raised the sword up high. The tip of his sword was pointed at Idris' heart.

Idris stared at the tip of the sword, then turned to look at me and smiled resignedly. “Sorry.”

“Save your apologies to it.”

Jem!

The tip of his sword entered piercing Idris' heart. That way, Idris breathes his last because of Hendery's sword. I pulled it back and gave it to Hendery.

“It's done. Soon you will be closer to your wishes,” I told Hendery.

“Looks like I didn't help much here.” Hendery put his sword back in place.

I lifted a little bit of my dress and pulled the knife I had tied to my thigh. I quickly injured my hands and feet intentionally. Hendery was surprised by what I did.

“Queen, what are you doing?!”

“To make everyone believe my words. I have to like you too. Now, shut up,” I said, as he began to injure Hendery's body without the slightest hesitation. He was silent when I did that.

Good boy.

“We must hurry, this palace will be damaged by Ava,”. “Can you carry the Emperor's body out of the palace?”

“Ah, yes. I can, Queen,” said Hendery.

I smile. “Then, do it now.”

Hendery carried Idris' body on his back. I walk in front of them. Down the stairs, step back on the bodies of soldiers and servants sleeping on the first floor of the corridor, and stop by for a while to Idris's study.

Rose Hindley was still tied in the same position. He's still unconscious. Therefore, I dragged him with my own magic. And the four of us came out of the Imperial Palace.

The one thing that horrified me was. Ava appears with the head belonging to Consort Sienna in her right hand. Ah, where's Consort Sienna's body?
