Chapter - XLV Tears and Aches

(WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️: There will be mention of death and blood. If you feel uncomfortable or triggered kindly skip this chapter, I will post a small recap without the mention of blood and death at the end of this chapter)

Wearing a golden gown, with a golden veil reaching till her upper lip, lips painted with wine colour, hair pinned into a neat bun and a golden crown on her head, Twil stood near the door, waiting for her father.

Litwin, dressed in a golden suit, hair neatly gelled and few strands falling over his temple, and unbelievably handsome, took the golden cloak from Daw's hands.

Axel, sliding into the black strong armour, his long hair neatly cut short, placing his dagger near his calves, eyes filled with vengeance, looked at his army.

Three walked out with confidence and worry but nevertheless ready to face the upcoming trails.

Alicia placed her hand on her forehead in worry; Eyir stood near the window as he looked at the stars; Ashton walked back and forth contemplating; Adrian went through the list of the nobles; All knowing that there was going to be bloodshed.

"Proceed" Axel commanded to his right in command, as he buckled himself. And right at that moment, Litwin proceeded to walk inside the hall in Hesy.

The happiness and happiest moment in his life was cut short. Axel's smile slowly disappeared as the people near the kitchen yelled in panic.

"Fire. There is a fire in the kitchen"

Axel and Eyir looked at each other."Fire?" Zahri asked with confusion. Clesrian, don't get affected by normal fire but only the fire from another country could harm them and it was a secret only the royal members knew.

"How?" Eyir asked surprised. "Later. Right now let's see the situation" Axel said and oh how he regretted doing it.

Axel, Eyir and their father rushed to the kitchen as Zahri stood by her mother trying to ease the panic arising in the hall.

Axel coughed as he waved his left hand before his face with his right covering his nose. "It's almost as bad as a volcano" Axel mumbled.

"Save your dry jokes for later" Eyir said as he looked at the source of the fire. "It's a normal fire." His father said as he touched the smoke left behind.

"An accident when they were cooking, since they panicked, they should be humans" Axel said as he removed the hands covering his nose.

The whole Castle was made from a material which doesn't get affected by the normal fire. Eyir stood rooted with his eyes shut tight.

"We didn't hire any human chefs nor any chefs from another planet" he gritted his teeth.

His father's face paled as they both ran away towards the main hall as Axel followed them.

All Axel could do was nothing more than watch the hall in horror. The fire of lri, was catching onto the curtains and the people were getting rescued by Zahri and her mother along with special guards. Since teleportation takes a lot of energy and only people with strong abilities could do it, many chose to run away.

Eyir and his father rushed and aided the people as Axel stood still. At the corner of his eyes, he sensed some moments and he found the nobles grinning evilly.

He had a small understanding of what and who did it. Taking a sword which was thrown down, Axel pointed it towards a Nobel who had pink hair.

He felt his energy draining as he felt something sliding down his nose. He touched it to find blood. With blurred vision, he now confirmed the situation. The fire in the kitchen as well as the fire here was poisoned.
