REBOOT SIENNA

Chapter 4: Live To Sienna Pt.4

The fancy dance of the swinging swords did not look like a dance. The dancers felt like they were well-trained knights.

It didn’t seem like something that would be Sienna’s idea, and Carl, sitting next to her, said admiringly, “They’re great. Although they’re male dancers, I feel as if they were actually trained men. The swords they’re spinning are also well crafted…”

Interestingly, Carl jumped to his feet while watching the dance. At the same time, the Royal Knights of the Emperor, who was guarding Carl, drew his sword.

“Live!”

As the knights drew their swords in unison, the dancers fired at the large wooden box in unison.

Bang!

The box broke into pieces, and smoke from the box filled the banquet hall.

“Strike the Emperor’s neck first!”

“Don’t live anyone alive!”

“Protect the Emperor!”

The sounds of the knights mingled with the screams of the nobles. The smoke burned both eyes and nose, and Sienna coughed repeatedly. Her eyes were red and irritated from the hot smoke.

Sienna looked at Arya sitting next to her. She was still as graceful as ever in that commotion. Acting as though she had known about it beforehand, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and looked down at the blood-red banquet hall, dripping like salsa over food.

“Queen Arya…”

Sienna turned to the banquet hall again at the sound of the screams and the soldiers battling. The smoke, which was blocking the view, gradually subsided. There was nothing but horror left in its place.

The servants who had been delivering the wine, the musicians who had been playing the instruments, and the servants who had been carrying the gifts were holding weapons in their hands. Red blood dripped from their gruesome blades.

On the floor, were familiar people falling with terror stricken faces. It looked like the slaughter of cows and pigs, not people. The sight of them at the end of their lives sent Sienna into a frenzy. At the same time, she worried about Carl’s safety.

“Do not forget the Emperor! Bring me the Emperor’s neck!” Queen Arya shouted after watching the situation with her mouth closed.

The voice was not loud, but to Sienna, it sounded as loud as a thunderbolt. Sienna said as she tugged on Arya’s arm, “What are you talking about?! What do you mean by ‘Bring the Emperor’s neck?!'”

Arya turned away from Sienna’s arm in vexation.

“Empress Sienna, we’ve started this together.”

“Together! When did I do that?! This is treason!”

Arya’s eyes narrow as if she didn’t like the word treason.

“The word treason is for losers. If this is successful, this will be recorded in history under a different name.”

At Arya’s words, Sienna’s face turned pale.

As time went by, there were more people lying on the floor like broken dolls than there were those standing. Sienna scanned for him inside the crowded banquet hall, hoping that Carl would be alive.

Carl was picking up blades from one corner. Fortunately, the Royal Knights were standing by him.

However, their condition was not favorable.

The Royal Knights didn’t look well. Some were seen wielding knives with one arm, others were giving up their backs on behalf of the Lord when the assailants flew toward Carl. She didn’t know how long they’d last.
