Third Person POV

As the draconic King and human Crown Prince have expected, 'those' people came ruining the banquet. They started by killing off all the lights and blocking all exits. One of the men gagged their target and covered her head with a sack. He dragged her away.

"Sese-chan!!"--Maxentius

"Where's Sese-chan?!"--Nehemiah-ou

"Sera-chan!!"--Hestia

"Seraphine-hime!!"--Caedmon

But to no avail, the person in question was already unconscious. All the guests were panicking and the party-wreckers took this chance to flee.

", we have the target!!" The kidnapper spoke in a whisper.

"Good job!" The man from the other line commended his underling.

When the lights went back on, the black-hooded people were already gone. All the guests were asked to leave for their own safety leaving Nehemiah-ou, Maxentius, Hestia and Caedmon with the draconic knights.

"Captain Plateosa, follow them!!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!!" He turned to his subordinates. "Let's go!!" They marches loudly as they went out of the palace to chase after the criminals.

A dark aura hovered around Maxentius that gave the others shivers down their spines.

"They dared to take her!! They must be seeking death!!!" An ominous sword the same color as his hair magically appeared on his right hand.

"Your Imperial Highness, please calm down..! The knights are already looking for her..!" Hestia tried to appease him, but his anger got worse.

"Are you really saying that I, of all people, should calm down?! Sese-chan, my official fiancée, got kidnapped right before my eyes! And you're expecting me to be calm right now?! Bullshit!!"

"Brat, not now!"

"I will not calm down!! I need to find those f*cking people or I might bury this f*cking world in blood by my f*cking hands instead!!"

"Oi Maxentius!"

"Shut the f*ck up or I'll f*cking kill you too!!" Maxentius dismissed the Prime Minister's son and hurriedly pursued the group who kidnapped his beloved.

He blinked from tree to tree and it went on for many hours as the full moon looked down on him as if mocking him for his negligence.

*tch

'Those f*ckers!! How dare they f*cking abduct her!!'

He stopped on his tracks when he saw her beloved with her dress he personally designed got ruined by mud and full of torn hems.

He almost shouted her name but he stopped himself, not wanting to give out his location.

"We finally have the Amalgam, 's gonna be so happy that we succeeded..!"

"We can finally be free of his wrath after slacking off at Devvilf! Man, those bitches were very tasty, we should return there as soon as we delivered it."

"Shut up, those f*cking knights might here ya!!"

"Fine, fine..."

They placed the tied silver-haired princess to the worn-out wagon and was about to take off when the obsidian-haired Crown Prince appeared before them.

"Get your filthy hands off of her!!" Maxentius yelled in malice.

*snicker 3x

*chuckle 2x

"Oh~?"

"Oh-ho, a f*cking brat who wants to die?"

"Wait boss, isn't his hair color familiar..?"

"Now that you mentioned it..."

"I guess I won't need a proper introduction, after all~~" Maxentius swiftly slashed his weapon on his enemies in precision. He almost killed the last one but that man managed to escape with Seraphine on his hold.

*tch

They're so f*cking annoying!!

The retreating man stopped at the edge of a cliff, pointing the edge of his rapier on the princess' neck.

"Don't move, or she dies."

*pfft

"Now, you want to be clichéd?"

"Shu-Shut up, you son of a f*ck!" Maxentius' lips curled up into a smile. "Why are you smiling?!"

"I just remembered something funny~~"

*gulp

'Good, it's good that you're scared as shit!'

'Why isn't he a bit scared? Why does he look like a demon with that expression?!'

"Yo-You really think I won't drop her?!" He made a throwing gesture that Maxentius slightly flinched then, he dropped his weapon. "That's it... now throw it to my direction!"

'It's now or never...' Maxentius thought and kicked his sword towards the man's forehead, instantly killing him but the latter lost his strength dropping Seraphine in the process.

"Sese-chan..!!" He tried all the spells he could muster up but he failed to safely land his beloved to the ground.

His pupils dilated as he watched Seraphine's head hit a huge rock that dyed the river red with her blood. The sack was slowly removed from her head and he saw how pale she is.

"Sese-chan..!!"

His beloved's corpse got carried by the water, disappearing from his sight little by little as he watched, motionless in place. He couldn't move-- or rather, he refused to.

"Brat!!" He didn't even turn his head. "Where's himesama?!"

"..." Silence answered Captain Plateosa's question.

"Answer me, where's himesama?!" Captain Plateosa balked when he saw a teardrop on Maxentius' face.

'I thought this brat is a two-faced demon who won't shed a single tear or a drop of blood, I guess he really cherished Seraphine-hime...'

"Captain!!" Sergeant Engelhardti saluted to his superior. "Has Her Highness been found?"

"I don't think so... in fact, I think something bad happened to her." The draconic Captain sadly shook his head and turned to the human prince. "Also, don't try asking the brat because I can't guarantee your life if you did."

*gulp

"Sese-chan..."

"Don't beat yourself to it, brat, it's not your fault..." Captain Plateosa tried consoling him.

"You don't know..."

"Oh, I know alright? My wife died a hundred years ago leaving me with our baby daughter..."

"This is different..!!" Maxentius glared at the dragon. "Sese-chan is my lifeline!! If she's gone, there's no reason for me to maintain the peace in this world!!"

"Oi oi..."

"I'll drag this god forsaken world to hell with me!!"

"You'll find someone who is really fated to be with you, brat..."

"Fate? To hell with fate!!" He clenched the hand that's holding his sword. "I didn't bring her back so she could die again!"
