《50 And Above》6. The Rebels' Riposte- Chapter 6

Chapter 6
Just when the holograms of the feudal lords began to appear, all nervousness disappeared. They all looked so shocked to see me instead of Jonas that I nearly burst out laughing. I addressed them bowing slightly, "My lords, firstly I assure you that Duke Jonas is safe. So, please hear me out. I have something that will prove Jonas as the Grand Vizier's murderer without fail. Captain Charles Lemurne of the Castle Guards, I call you as a witness."
Lemure stepped forward and told them that he had seen Jonas kill the Grand Vizier and why he had not revealed the truth. He activated an audio device in which he had recorded Jonas speaking of disposing of me to the Grand Vizier whose laboured breathing could be clearly heard. Then he sent a copy of the recording to each lord.
I spoke, "My lords, you can check the recording for any fabrication at your leisure but you will find none. The commoners and now his own men are rebelling against Jonas. I hope this is justification enough that he is not a good ruler. For now, all I ask is that we are granted the authority to remove Duke Jonas Heylain from power."
After a five-minute conversation where the audio was splayed again, I received the royal seals to remove Jonas from power. Assembling them into a UFLA arrest warrant, I left the room under the care of some of my Knights. Lemure, Cassandra, and the rest followed me.

"The mech is wonderful, Duke Heylain. I couldn't help but notice that it is of foreign make. Where did you find this amazing weapon, my lord?" I heard the voice I hated even more than that of Jonas ask.
Signalling Lemure to keep the audio recorder switched on, I heard Jonas, obviously drunk; answer von Steinus, "I bought it from the Communist Confederation of Russia!"

"The CCR?! Unforgivable! How could you buy weapons from our sworn enemies? Especially when it is forbidden by the Feudal Council?" A soldier wearing the colours of the duchy of Los Anglenz asked stupefied.
Before Jonas could answer, I stepped away from the shadows answering "Because my brother is a traitor." Turning to him, I pulled out the arrest warrant, "Duke Jonas Heylain, I put you under arrest by the order of the Feudal Council!"
Jonas looked at me bemused, then turned to von Steinus "Captain Markus, I offer you two thousand gold pieces and this mech as payment. Kill my brother and fulfill your contract!"
We were badly outnumbered. So, Cassandra tried to even the odds. Before I could stop her, she ripped off her veil and snapped at the Los Anglenz soldier, "I, Cassandra Fernandèz confirm the validity of this warrant and order you to fight with us in the name of the Feudal Council."
As she was speaking I saw a mercenary take aim at Cassandra and without thinking I leapt in front of her. The laser slammed into my left arm. And all hell broke loose.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.
