《Real Fake World》09 Cruel Reality
Advertisement
The students were left alone for the next day, their teacher was too engrossed with reading books to give them any thought.
In their minds they were experiencing the atrocious sight of bandits killing, of the bandits dying and multiple other moments that made them unable to eat breakfast.
Of course there were exclusions to the rule, some people unaffected by the horrors of their current reality.
Of course some of you would have already suspected why those bandits had died such a gruesome death and the culprit behind it, whom was currently eating breakfast as if nothing had happened.
Christopher had reached level 10 by killing six bandits and wounding one.
Of course his excuses for the cruel act of murder was that he was given no other option, in a kill or die situation he would kill without mercy.
He felt like a soldier going to war for the first time, killing to protect the ones he loved, namely a single person, but there were others as well for whom he still cared a little, like his friends.
After reaching level 10, he evolved the sneak ability into the silent strider ability, which passively muffled his steps and could be activated to enter the regular sneak mode, sneak mode hid you from detection skills.
As he travelled back to his room however he stumbled across a rather infuriating scene. He saw Alexxa talking happily with a rather handsome person, he of course wasn't as possessive as to get angry because she was was talking with someone, what got him mad was that after a short talk, they actualy kissed before saying goodbye.
In truth at the moment he wanted to kill that guy, whomever he was, but on second thought they weren't officialy a couple, thus he had no justification to kill the one she liked, he should be happy for her finding a person she liked.
The result of this however was that he fell into a depressed state that lasted for the whole day as he was trying to hold back his urges to kill a specific someone.
On Alexxa's side however that day was the best of her life. A handsome man whom could rival a model had come to her and confessed his love, his words were as if reading her mind and he even promised to protect her giving her a magical object that would help both her and her friends.
The kiss that followed was also something that she deeply desired, but was too shy to ask, she simply melted in his hands, if he asked for her body she might of course have refused or resisted, but he was as swift as the wind promising to come see her again.
In the afternoon she had a weird desire to see him again and as suddenly he simly appeared before her, it was like fate had brought them together.
He called himself Prince Ludicar and he was simply too charming, but their meeting was cut short as all the students were being summoned by the king of the country.
They were brought to a rather luxurious dark bedroom, a sad figure that looked like the king was bedridden, they couldn't perceive how the healthy king from that day had suddenly degraded to such a state.
"Heroes, I am dying, but before I die I want to lift some of the things that weight on my heart"
The king said making them feel rather awkward.
"I have lived a long life so don't pity my state, I'm already 102 years old, it was about time for me to enter the embrace of the God of light"

The king said seeing some rather sad faces amongst the students, it wasn't as if they were pitying him, they were simply too emotional due to personal experiences.
"You might hear in the future rumors that I killed my elder brother and father for the throne, well that's just rumors, in truth I was the most insignificant prince of the five, my eldest brother killed two of our brothers as well as our father, of course the way he died was ochestrated by my youngest brother, whom was sent by our father to become a Priest, but he was too good, he easily became a Bishop and was sent back to our country to serve as the Main temple of light"
The king said reminsing the past.
"I at the time was traveling with the now rogue hero, in truth if it wasn't for the war of succession I would have all the princes and princesses accompany you on your quest"
The king signified.
"At the time Me and Kaito, whom is now known as the Rogue hero, were friends, those were happy and careless times, of course time passed and people changed, maybe if I wasn't the king we might have still be friends"
The king said with a sigh of regret.
"Before I die I must apologize to you, since the real reason I summoned so many of you at once is because of the wars for succession rather than the threat of the demon king, which could wait for a few decades anyways, the real reason is because I've established that the prince with the support of the majority of the heroes will become the new king"
His words fell like a hammer on their minds, in truth Alexxa wasn't the only one approached by some sedusive individual, multiple people were approached and this explained the why.
"Don't be angry at my dear children, they are after all my children, the sons and daughters of the most useless and selfish king in all of Nivava's history, for that I must apologize once more"
His voice grew more hoarse and sore as he continued speaking.
"I would have loved to keep you all together in my country but I know full well that many of you will leave the country once the foreign emessaries arrive, there is simply nothing left for you to stay in this sinking ship of a country"
The king said with an indignant tone, making the students feel somewhat bad, but they highly doubted that there would be people whom would leave their midst.
"Don't be sad, I'm saying so because you all probably want to go home and the fastest way is to be divided amongst the countries, after all for a single country to groom so many heroes is very taxing on our treasury, tomorrows feast is the last gift our country can offer as a way for me to apologize for implementing you in our political and life and death stugles for survival"
A tear suddenly fell from the king's face rolling down his cheek.
"All I wanted was for the country to survive, please forgive this selfish ki...gulp"
Suddenly the king begun breathing heavily and they could tell that he wasn't feeling well enough to talk.
The healers by his side cast multiple spells on him, drowning him inside of the holy light, until he closed his eyes and fell asleep and they were chased out of his royal bedroom.
The next day they learnt from the servants that the king died in his sleep last night.
Of course they didn't know the king that well, but they did feel some pity for him, before that they only felt anger towards him, but at the moment much of that anger had deffused with his death.

Alexxa saw a Weeping prince at that day, he was heartbroken and looked nothing like the amorous person whom approached her yesterday.
She let him weep on her chest, the next thing she knew was they were sharing the same bed, she didn't know to feel distressed or happy about about it, but she did feel somewhat weird about the whole flow events.
Of course she already knew that he was the Crown prince Ludicar, a half elf whom was rather famous for his handsome looks and powerful magic, but most of all he was the ideal of many women in the castle, that's what she had learnt from the servants, as for his interest in the war for succession, it seemed that he had non at least on the surface.
But since she had already intercourse with him, she couldn't just let him be, she had to do something to help him become a king, to support her man she fell in love with.
The next day was the feast prepared by the king, this time each had his own designated table and on it were the ominous stat foods, only there were more variety to them.
Warriors were given more wine, that raised their physique, Rogues more Fruits to raise their mentality since they had to be able to discern reality from illusions and Mages were given more meat that raised Magicality.
Of course there were now some new food stuff, that they didn't know what they did, each table had only one or two of them, meaning one or two per person.
This time no person dared leave anything behind, even the smallest girl of the group ate her fill, and although they didn't know how much of an effect that would have on their stats, but at least they wouldn't be so weak.
But the feast wasn't over, servants came bringing a large thing that looked like a gigantic Cow or something and jugs of something red that should be wine.
The princes and Princesses were now sitting most of them being shocked, some were sad, but there were also ones whom were happy with their father's death and didn't even hide it.
Of course the large thing couldn't be eaten even by the most gluttonous of people, it was simply impossible for a human's stomach to hold that large of an amount of food in a single go, some even felt as if they were going to throw up if they went on eating.
That night was the most delightful however experience since they came.
Most of them saw their stats rise by a lot, making them understand the disparity they had with the others whom had stayed behind to eat, more clearly, especialy the ones whom experienced the special dishes effects, each table had two food stuff that they hadn't seen before, but what they didn't know was that these few plates weighted more gold than themselves, they were priceless treasures of nature.
That night ten people leveled up reaching level 10, others were given free stat or skill points and others simply gained stats.
The most however mysterious thing was that everyone gained a boost of 10physique and 10magicality.
Of couse not all were happy with their random boosts, although the 10 points in Physique and magicality didn't really hurt them to have.
In truth at level 10 most of them were already as strong as a level 30 individual, some even more than others.
The next few days the students were divided and conquered by the princes and princesses, some were even won by the queens.
In general the situation was so chaotic that the planned monster hunt got cancelled by the royal simblings.
In truth the deceased king had 7 Queens, of whom only three were alive, the seventh being a young woman no older than 30.
Each having given the old king at least one child, well whether they were trully his could of course be debated, but no one cared to find out.
Of the 12 royal simblings, three held the predominant Positions having recruited the most heroes or at least having their support.
Ludicar with the Support of Alexxa had managed to get many supporters.
Dridinal, the rich fatty had won the support of many whose hearts moved by wealth, most evident being Elen.
Lastly Princess Bloom with the support of her mother had ended gaining the support of many Guys in the group, promising that one of them would become the new king.
Of course All of this came to an abrupt end with the arrival of thirteen carriages with different emblem on each of them, they were the Emissaries sent from the other kingdoms.
The Students could hear the servants goshiping as they run to prepare receiving guests.
The students weren't allowed into the main hall, but the could hear sounds of disatisfaction and unrest from inside, there was even explosive sounds comming from inside as if someone blew a bomb inside, but they couldn't make what the royal simblings and the emissaries were discussing.
After hours the students lost interest and went do their own stuff, of course there were some people whom were still nervous about their loved ones inside and people whom deep inside hoped they would die a bad death, of course I'm speaking about Alexxa and Christopher.
Around 6 in the afternoon and as the sun fell, the servants became more active and begun coming in and out of the gathering spot which used to be the main hall of the castle.
When the Students and their teacher were invited to come to have dinner inside they saw many people of different races sitting down, there was even an asian present whom was somewhat disappointed after seeing that they were not asians.
"Please sit down"
The Eldest Prince said, pointing for Alexxa and her friends to sit next to him, the other princes and princesses did the same.
There were tables set with enough chairs for each royal simbling's supporters.
Of course there were still some whom sat next to no prince, Christopher was one of them as he disheatedly looked at Alexxa, his eyes apathetic as if something had died inside him.
Next to him sat his friends whom were trying to cheer him up a little, although some of them had already promissed to support a prince or princess, but they still had their priorities right thus leaving some of the seats near the royalty empty causing not a little headache to the royalty.
"As per Agreement the 12 Emissaries are now allowed to try and rectuit heroes, as per the agreement the maximum heroes allowed per kingdom is set to four"
The one making the Announcement was the Archbishop whom calmly then bowed to the emissaries and royalty.
He, the Archmage and the rogue hero would act as judges to the fairness of the recruitment since they knew best if the countries could trully offer what they were promising and would see to it that they would do so.
First spoke a rather handsome man with golden hair and yellow eyes that sparkled like they were fake.
"I'm the emissary of the holy kingdom of Ecclesia, what we offer to those that decide to come to our kingdom is the title of a holy hero, a temple village which will be under your rule until you leave this world, a blessing from our divine God Ecclesis, a guardian angel that will grow in power with you and lastly and most importantly Resurrection, in other words as long as you are following our god even if you die you will be resurrected free of charge"
The emissary said making many of the students mouths gap in surprise, till then they had never heard that there even existed something like resurrection and seeing as the faces of the royalty of the kingdom were somewhat grim they could say that it was not a lie.
"As per agreement I can only take four of you with me but if some of your friends were later to die we would be happy to help with their resurrection, of course you will have to swear faith to the god of light and should be informed that the monsters plagueing our Dungeon pillar are vile Demons and not the petty alchemic slimes"
The emissary's looks were really handsome, but his tongue was probably forked and twisted as each and every time he talked he would make the student's hearts be moved by his voice.
"Next should be the Runia Empire!"
The Archmage said, making the human emissary from the Runia empire rather disatisfied with the place he was given, after all he wasn't exactly a much to the exalted kingdom of Ecclesia both in looks and offers.
"I am the Emissary from Runia, of course Runia cannot compare to Ecclesia, but Nivava is not even worth spoken next to our Empire's name, Of course a village we can give you as well, maybe we cannot give you the luxury of dying as much as you like, but what we can offer is slaves, fame and wealth beyond your wildest dreams, Our Runia is the wealthiest Country on Axis, if you accept to come to our kingdom you will be given a constellation title, a slave collar that you can use on any person you like in the kingdom, except of course the Emperor and some people with special identities, you will be given your own Magic Tower where you can do whatever magic experiments inside where you are your own king and all that in exchange of becoming our emperor's slave, you will be above millions and bellow only one man, the great emperor himself"
The Emissary's words had them tight in the start, but then lost them completely, whom in his right mind would decide to become a slave, of course there still were a few students whom were not in their right mind.
"What does the Eolia emissary has to say?"
The Archmage gave no mercy to the Runia emissary at all as the next person to speak was a handsom tall elf wearing a beautiful white robe.
"We of the Eolia empire ask one thing of those that will come to our kingdom, you have to evolve into an elf, as a reward for comming you will be given a place to stay, free enchantments to your equipments, free access to all magic spells that our Country has collected over the aeons of existense, a highness title and an elven wife or husband"
The man said, his voice full of arrogance as if he had already won the heroes over just by spouting nonsense.
Of course there were those whom had an elf complex making the whole matter rather strange of course they didn't want to stay forever in this world thus taking an immortal wife was somewhat immoral.
"I'm elder Solielas of the elven Neassa continent, and for the price of evolving into an elf, we will supply you wi a place to live, an elemental guardian that will grow alongside you, an elemental title, a blessing from the spirits of nature, and lastly free training in skills and spells to the best of our abilities"
The elderly elf said with a smile, as if he wasn't hiding anything and was showing all his cards.
"To hell with those elves and their promices, we Munnero dwarves for exchange for a single oath will gift you a house to live, rune weapons, a rune armor, access to rune magic, a personal bodyguard that can take down even a dragon and lastly a slayer title"
The dwarf said while spitting and hitting his own chest. The dwarf looked like an inflated human, his arms, head, legs and torcho being double the width of a human's but his height half of a regular person's.
"Gr, If you want to survive you should come to us orks, if you become an ork not only most of your wounds close faster, you will be given a beast spirit, a warrior title, an elemental tattoo that can resist magic of a single or more elements, access to totem magic, a powerful totem guardian spirit and lastly a chance to challeng really powerful enemies"
The students didn't know what to think about the 3m tall green man's offer, he looked almost like a human, but had a more apelike physique, and he promised them to fight stong opponents, it was like telling them to go and die.
"We of the Klan will share achemic ingredients, make you Gloom enchants, share tamed Monsters and give a great nickname and if you stong you have lots of underling, all this for 50% your loot, real great deal"
The one speaking was a small green guy that was as small as the dwarf in size, but he looked like a slim green monkey.
But his words made the students understand something, just by hearing the word "loot" which the others hadn't said, of course they didn't get the time to think about it, because the red guy begun speaking.
"We of the Reddor empire will give you free healing potions, throw a strengthening and blood putifying ritual for you as well as a bloodtied bodyguard and a bloody title if you decide to evolve into a Blood Ogre"
Of course his description of the rewards was too short to even draw attention to him before the green guy next to him spoke.
Both of them looked as if they were of the same species, but they were both around two meters high with a physique that combined a man and an ape, their hands were simply too long to be human, and their feet were gigantic, like two different colour bigfoots, only their face looked rather civilized, as if coming from the age of steam.
"We of the Greddor empire offer you your own forest shrine, free poison potions, plantan symbiots, a trent protector and a forest title if you accept to become Leaf Ogres"
The green man said, of course not everyone knew what a trent was but those that knew were rather surprised.
The next person however to speak was an angel, she was pretty and she had long white wings on her back.
"We from Winoria, for the price of becoming a quarter birdman will gift you with a place to live, will bestow you with power, gift you a personal pet bird that will grow with you, a personal army and lastly a bird title"
The beautiful woman whose angelic looks and melodic voice could easily make you mistake her for an angel was a quarter birdman.
"As if you can rival the beastman empire of Woodaria, we for becoming a quarter will offer you living accomodations, bestial skills, bestial magic, a personal bodyguard of your choice and a beast title"
The alluring woman with fox ears on her head and a tail said while making her fox tail move left and right.
The students of course could see no diferense in the two women's propositions, but the rogue hero was rather moved by her attics.
"Blob, pluff"
The last person or rather a person with a fishhead suddenly blew a bubble out of water which simply popped.
"Blop, pluff"
Goship begun as the students could not understand what he was telling.
"Sorry I was fixing my voice before"
A rather beautiful manly voice echoed, that could even rival the best singers.
"We of Aquatica, if you decide to become a quarter fishman will offer you living accomodations, mental skills, mental enchancements, a sea serpent mount and a number of titles"
He said as he bowed respectfully, but it was rather strange seeing a fish talking with a human voice.
"Lastly I would like to talk representing our Nivava country"
The one whom spoke was a princess called Bloom whom was no older than twelve.
"I can promise and both my brothers and sisters would agree, that if you decide to stay in our kingdom each one of you will be bestowed with an estate and servants, the best equipment and threatment, access to our country's Great library, a personal army and a nobility title"
Of course the things she promised was almost the same threatment as they always enjoyed from the time they arrived to this world.
At the moment all the student begun to talk among themselve but one person stood tall as he had long decided his place.
"As your teacher I won't tell you to stay, but if you ever need my help in the future you can always come find me at the great library of the Nivava Country"
Mr.Gold said with a smile as he begun to walk out of the door.
Of course the scene was rather strange since Mr.Gold supported non of the royalty but still decided to stay, of course for him the Great library was like the best level grinding stage and a window to understanding the world they were living, he was like a small child that was given a new toy to play with.
"Please wait, if you like books, then our Ecclesia lacks not in that aspect"
The handsome emissary spoke, he was however quickly turned down with these words.
"It's not about the books, it's about faith, you see all my life I believed in only one god, how could I change my faith or my race simply because of a few benefits"
The teacher's speech made the rogue hero clapped his hands in approval and the same was true for the archmage and even the elderly elf clapped accompanied by the stupid goblin whom probably hadn't even understood what was happening.
"I won't say that what your Teacher is saying is wrong, but lets speak frankly what is so important that is awaiting you back at the other world, parents? once you make your own family you will only miss them from time to time, your country, do you think we are stupid, we already knew that the other world's countries are mostly the same with ours the only difference is that there is a think called technology on your world which is replaced by magic in our world, if you think that technology is more convenient than magic they you can ask the Rogue hero and those other heroes over the ages that had decided to stay, back there you are nothing more than a small ant, here you are a respected hero"
The old elves' words made all the students shocked, many of them didn't even know what they would do for a living, they had to decide between their past family and an unkown future and a new family and the position of a noble hero that is respected by all.
The teacher whom was about to leave suddenly froze in place, what was happening was simply beyond his apprehension, of course he himself would at some point try and return and thought that the students would do the same, but at the moment it seemed as if they were thinking of staying.
"So is a world where tommorow you might be assassinated as if nothing has happened really so nice?"
The teacher asked.
"Hero Troika, assassinated in the kingdom of Eolia four hundred years ago, Hero Jim, assassinated in the kingdom of Woodaria as he was sleeping eight hundred years ago, Hero Miriam, assassinated in the kingdom of Ecclesia a thousand years ago"
Their teacher begun saying some named and when they were assassinated one of whom was even sleeping.
"It's true, that those things did happen, but lets talk about those heroes some more, Saintess Miriam the blasphemer, she disguised herself as a believer, but in truth she secretly worshiped her own gods, Hero Jim, also known as the unsurper, he secretly tried to form an army and become emperor of Woodaria, Hero Troika, otherwise known as the mad beast of Eolia, he had killed more innocent people than even the monsters"
The Elder Emissary said and other than Miriam the other two did seem sort of spoiled eggs to the ears.
"Saintess Miriam being called a Blasphemer is only a rumor that our Temple of Ecclesia has numerous times rejected, the truth of the matter is that you cannot be always in alert against your allies, even in your world there might come a day when a burglar will enter your home, this is that sort of bad event that might happen to anyone"
The handsome emissary from the Country of Ecclesia stated, more probably to fix the image of his own country, since it would be a great problem if the heroes thought that his country was full of zealots.
"Well not like she stayed dead of her own free will"
The elder elf said with a sharp remark, making the handsome emissary curse inside.
"That was a thousand years ago, right now people have changed, the new God-king is benevolent and a patient man"
The handsome man said, making him even less credible in many people's ears.
"Well, typicaly speaking you found only three dead heroes in a ten thousand years history history that the countries have been standing, Congratulations, I'm sure that in your world there will be no people whom could die in a car accident, or simply by a maniac holding a weapon"
The one whom spoke was the arrogant elf from Eolia, the country where the maniac Troika used to live and the one closest to their era.
"Also I would like to make it completely clear, in our Countries there are laws so if you dont't want to end being stabbed in your sleeps try not to break every law just for fun, they are there for some reasons and as for the so called hero, he was a brute that even in your world he would be sentenced to stay in jail for life if he did what he had done here"
The High strung elf said with hate in his voice.
Of course the students could understand that there were laws, but they couldn't understand what that hero had done exactly, but by the sound of it he must have been complete scum.
"Well we will give you time to decide on whom wants to leave and whom wants to stay, but you shoud know that even if you all stay in this country that will only mean that the country will fall more quickly since their economical downfall has already begun, even their promises might become words after a year or two"
The Blood Ogre emissary said with a smile on his face.
"Well I hate to agree, but as judges you should disqualify the Nivava kingdom for promising things they cannot offer"
The Leaf Ogre said making a similar smiling face.
"I as the Original Hero from Nivava can promise that all the things stated will be given, but I cannot say the same for the Goblin Klan and the Greedy Dwarf Country"
The Rogue hero spoke making the faces of the Royal simbling shine with hope.
"By the way 1/40 has decided to stay in Nivava, whom else wants to stay or leave"
The Rogue hero asked.
"I wish to join the Runia Empire!"
The one whom spoke was Costas, making all of those present surprised, all that Runia offered was wealth and... slaves.
"I too wish to join Runia empire"
"Me too!"
The other two were Theo and Jonny, the Class bully and his underling.
"I wish to join Aquatica!"
The one whom spoke was Jones and many others followed by choosing to undergo the evolution process or simply leave the kingdom.
If someone asked them why they chose the said kingdom, they would at most state one or two points that they liked about it, in the end only ten people out of the fourty decided to stay.
Christopher Looked at Alexxa and her prince for the last time as he decided to go to the goblin kingdom, in truth he didn't have much of an interest in evolutions and in general he didn't even care about others he simply wanted to stay alone and the only country that had no people and no need for evolution with a spot open was the goblin country.
"Wow, we lived to see the first Human hero of the Goblin kingdom, what else is there to see"
The elf Elder said sarcasticaly, in truth Ogre,ork and goblin races were the less polular of the mix, although at this time the Orks had managed to somehow recruit two people.
"Wait human, you don't want to go to the gobin kingdom, their promises aren't even worth trushing"
The Red and Green ogres shouted as they tried to recruit Christopher whom didn't really care where he went to.
"At least however I will stay a human"
Christopher said.
"Is that all you were thinking when you selected them, what good is being a human if you are dead?"
The Leaf ogre said.
"That's right if you want to stay human just stay in the Nivava Country!"
The Blood Ogre shouted enraged, in a way it would be a huge embarashment if the even the Goblin kingdom is able to recruit a Hero, but they could not.
"If you want to get the girl, we have lots of alchemy potions, a love potion is enough for such a low level wench"
The Leaf ogre whispered to his ear.
"I can't even understand why all of you think that the other countries are better than our Reddor Empire, what we offer is the Ultimate power and Immortality, you are simply all blind!"
The Blood Ogre shouted furiously as he stepped out of the door, each step causing the whole Castle to tremble,
but with a single movement of the Archmage's sleeve the castle became as still as a corpse.
"Now, you are called Christopher, I have only one warning if you trully want to join the Goblin Klan, prepare a coffin"
The one whom spoke was the Archbishop, but his words contained a spice of ridicule.
"I don't care and by the way I highly doubt we will return any time soon, thus there are tons of chances for me to change my mind later in my life, now lead the way"
Christopher said as he kicked the goblin emissary to move as he glared once more at the Prince and Alexxa before leaving.
I wasn't worthy of her then and in this life I will probably never be, were his thoughts are he followed the goblin into the carriage.
Some of the others also urged the emissaries to take them away, since they wanted nothing more to do with the Kingdom, others due to shame and other due to disgust.
"Wait Costas what about me?"
Vadima suddenly asked as she rushed towards him and the emissary.
"You, you didn't even let me touch you, what do we even have between us"
Costas said rather apatheticaly, they had been seeing each other for the past few days but nothing had happened between them just a tiny kiss on one occasion.
"Won't you stay in Nivava for my sake?"
She asked while glaring at the fat prince whom was laughing as he looked at the scene.
"Then how about you come with me to the Runia Empire would you do that for me?"
Costas asked back while scratching his head.
"But I'm a vassal of the kingdom of Nivava, only with the agreement of the King am I able to leave with you"
Of course it might sound a cheap excuse, but it was a real problem for those people whom understood what she meant.
"I'm sure that We could make it work, isn't that right Mr emissary?"
Costas asked the bald man whom came from Runa.
"Of course, I would like to ask the Royal court for the price of this woman's freedom"
He said it as if it was freeing her from some tyranical country, something that sounded really funny to those that knew how Runia was like.
"Our kingdom is not some slave trading market, if our vessel wants to leave then we will be happy to let her go"
The one speaking was Prince Ludicar, Alexxa's new boyfriend.
"Well I have no problem with letting her go if it is her will to follow the hero, but our country cannot afford to lose talents at its current state of economical crisis"
Prince Dridinal, the fatty said, hinting that some reparation fee is in place.
"What are you saying, from when did our kingdom lack talent"
Prince Fordeo shouted in his full fury, his stong arm hitting the table he was sitting on completely alone, shattering one of its corners.
"If the Country lets this vessal go then this vassal will be going"
Vadima run towards the exit and quickly reached the goblin country's carriage, making all of them completely shocked. While the Leaf ogre begun laughing so loudly that he could even be heard from outside.
"You don't mind giving me a lift"
Vadima said while sitting next to Christopher, the stupid goblin didn't even understand what was going, he simply thought that they had just gained another hero, so he smiled.
Christopher didn't care as his sight was glued on the castle he only hoped that the carriage would leave faster, of course it was not in his power to make the gate open, unless of course he wanted to go on a killing spree, but he wasn't out of control, he could still remain sane and serene, only a little depressed.
The emissaries begun to embark their carriages, the Castle gates would only open once everyone was ready to leave, since the gates were too heavy to open and close, there was no mechanism to open them thus it was done manualy by two strong men.
A creeking sound could be heard as the main gates begun to open.
"Start the carriage!"
Christopher shouted and the goblin driver as if his ass was on fire begun to whip the horse to run to the not even half opened gate.
"Faster!"
Christopher shouted, his voice could be heard even outside, making the others feel a jolt of fear, as if they didn't know him at all until today.
The carriage barely passed through the gate and sprinted disappearing into the distance.
In the Grand gathering hall at the moment the Royalty and students had a sore expression on their face.
The students before even they could hear that shout from outside and saw the carriage that almost rammed into the gate leaving them a bad aftertaste, as for the royalty, how could they be feeling well, they just lost a vessal and a hero to the goblin country, a place as desolate and poor that it could barely hold itself being called a country, even the Goblins called it the Klan.
"So after this whom is the new king?"
Prince Ludicar asked, as he was smiling at Alexxa whom he was holding in his hands, of course he didn't have much of a hope to win since Dina, one of Alexxa's friends, decided on going to the Eolia kingdom to marry an elf, but in the end it ended in a 4-5 loss, meaning that he had four supporters while Bloom had five.
The Archmage, the Archbishop and even the rogue hero were surprised by the results.
Somehow the 12 years old Bloom had defeated 11 adult princes and princesses.
She was only 12 years old, well twelve and a half, she was either a dragon in disguise or she had an even more terrifying backer than the archmage and archbishop.
"As everyone knows, a 12 years old cannot govern a kingdom, so I as her mother will be an in-place ruler until my dear Bloom becomes a flower"
A womanly voice came from behind Bloom's chair.
The woman was no older than 30 and was a woman whose looks could kill.
"Now soldiers! please help with apprehending a few people, you see there are too many cages left empty in the dungeons"
The new Queen said as she looked at the Archmage whom with indignation accepted his defeat.
"You and your bastastardly daughter have no place in this room"
The one whom shouted was Fordeo whom had already unsheethed his sword, he was known as the strongest Prince, a brute of a man that could rival a small army troop just by himself since he was one of the dreaded Talented classes, whom had reached a level of 200.
"Don't be a sore loser, I still have a use for all of you brothers and sisters, isn't that right my dear Bloom?"
The gorgeous Queen said as she took the small girl into her hands gave her a lift and then put the happy girl on the throne in the middle..
Of course Fordeo was stopped and chained, the same was done to all other princes, the next thing however made everyone's hearts freeze as a mage wearing a black robe came inside, he was a black mage from Runia, better known as Slave mage.
"Now I will let the heroes to decide which of them you want as your slaves, those that are not chosen will die as well as their families, so lets begin with the list"
The woman said as she took out a list.
"Prince Ludicar, twelve wives and eight children"
The new information that made its way into Alexxa's head made her blank out for a moment, but the next phrase woke her up.
"Whom will vounce for his life?"
"I...I vounce"
Alexxa painfully said, after all he was still her first true love, even if he has many others at this moment he was hers.
A strange black snake that gave off spark was releashed by the mage and created a strange tattoo on the prince's wrist and a second at the Queen's.
"Now if you don't want him to die a horrible death you will have to try hard and become a great hero, he will be of course accompanying you in your journeys"
The queen's words left a huge black spot in the young teenager's heart.
"Second Prince Joseph and Ludicar's brother, three wives and no children"
The queen stated and Ludicar pleaded to Alexxa with his eyes to save his dear brother as well.
"I will vounch for him"
Alexxa said, but her words were quickly retorded.
"Then we don't need Ludicar right?"
The queen made it clear that it was one person per hero.
"I will vounch for him"
Alexxa's friend Anna said, seeing how miserably Alexxa felt.
"Prince Torro, 19 dead-wives also known as the sadistic prince, does anyone wants to vounce for him?"
The queen said and as it was awaited non spoke up.
"Brother, please someone vounce for my brother! why won't anyone speak up!"
Princess Amaliana shouted at the people whom stood behind the queen, the five heroes that supported the young Bloom to take the throne.
"Off with his head!"
The young Bloom said with a cute smile, that however gave the students present a creepy feeling while Torro's head went flying.
"Just like his unfortunate wives, next princess Amaliana, two husbands no children"
Amaliana was around the same age as the queen, but one was the queen and the other a princess.
"As per our agreement princess Amaliana's life is now yours"
The queen said as she looked at Chris, whom liked his woman older than himself, this time the brand was made on Amaliana's and Chris' wrists, meaning that if Chris died she would die as well, but he could easily kill her with a thought.
"Prince fordeo, no wives, no children, whom will Vounce for him"
Prince Fodeo was a large tanned barbarian of a man.
"I will vounce for him"
The one whom spoke was surprisingly Bloom, for her this was like a game, which made it rather painful for her mother to bear.
"My dear Bloom why not just go off with his head, this man is simply too troublesome and not really worth our time"
The queen wanted to make her dear daughter change her mind.
"But brother Fordeo is so strong, when I grow up I want to be his wife"
Her words submerged the whole hall into a flood of goship, some of the royal simblings even begun laughing, not caring if they die or not as a result, it wasn't as if royal simblings couldn't get married, but she whom was known to the others as a bastardly daughter whom had not an drop of royal blood marrying him would be like, marrying into the royal family as if saying that she's not the king's daughter at all.
"Off with his head"
The queen said, leading to Fordeo's head to fly off his shoulder.
"But I vounced for him, not fair"
Bloom puffed like a watermellon, her round cheeks asking to be pinched.
"Next Prince Tudar, eleven wives, eight sons, one grandson"
The queen said.
"I will vounce for him!"
The one whom spoke was the Archmage.
"I will take the archmage's word as a contract so I hope no slavery curse is needed, not that it would be effective if your excellency wants to undo it in the first place"
The queen said as she ordered the guards to release the Fat prince, whom seemed to have lost ten years of his life at the moment, for some reason he was as pale as paper.
"What have you done to him?"
The archmage shouted infuriated.
"It's just a little poison, here's the antidote, he has to take one each month, if he doesn't take it he will die"
The queen said as she threw a small bottle over to the archmage.
"Prince Tudar, wives non, sons non"
The young prince right about the same age as the students, but he was now bound with chains and waiting for his own execution.
"I will vounce for him, I want him to join the temple"
The Arch-bishop said with a rather emotional face, prince Tudar simply looked a copy of his own father, how could he let him perish, even if the queen killed him, he would simply have the temple resurrect him later on, as for the others he didn't really care, they could all be bastards for all he knew.
"Since the Arch-bishop vounces for him I will take his word as granted, let prince Tudar go"
The queen said and the guards threw the prince towards the archbishop.
"Princess Keia and Leia, no husbands, as per agreement they will be yours"
The queen said to Christo and Alexander whom stood there behind her and like with Amaliana who brands were set on them and the princesses.
"Prince Verillio and his mother ex-queen Vivian as per agreemen she will go to you"
She said while looking at Nick whom stood there but unlike the others he didn't seem as lustful as the others.
Queen Vivian was even younger than the Queen herself, but she wasn't really pretty, although she was rather tall, there were two brands set, one for the mother and the other for her son, Nick could control both their lives.
"Princess Erica as per agreement belongs to you"
The queen said to John whom was the last of her supporters.
The ex-royalty whom had now become slaves and commoners had a rather grim expression, of course the slavery brand wasn't something impossible to dispell or trick, the problem was that no one cared to dispell the brand of slaves, they would simply send them to the local slave trader so that he would return them to their master, of course if the master dies they will die as well.
"Lastly I would like to thank the Runia empire for their support, we will never forget this debt I hope that the gifts that we sent to you are to your liking"
The Queen said, but the others didn't understand what she was talking about.
"As of now all the family members of the fallen royalty have been send as slaves to Runia, I hope that you will not try to save them"
The evil queen said towards fatty Dridinal, whom at that moment had killing intent written all over his face.
"Mommy, why didn't we kill them like the others?"
Her question made the already pale Dridinal cough blood and feint into the archmage's arms, whom was trying to support the plump body with all his might.
"Oh, don't be so angry our kingdom is only keeping them as collateral, if at any time you can buy their freedom, we will release them as fast as you get us our gold, by the way I hope that dear prince Dridinal won't die any time soon or all his wives and offsprings will become slaves for life"
The Black mage said as he bowed once and then left like the wind.
