Favored Empress Brings Chaos and Destruction (Book 2)

Page 379

Outside his bedroom, Emperor Aiden saw his nephew had a very gloomy expression and was surrounded by a heavy, thick, and dark aura. If he did not know him, he would probably believe he was seeing a demon instead. He thought her rejection was the reason his nephew had a very dark and heavy presence.

"Viktor, are you okay? Is there something wrong?" He asked gently and waited patiently for the young lad's response but the latter remained quiet. He noticed his nephew seemed to be peering inside his bedroom as if he was discreetly looking for something or someone. He waited for him to ask but the young man was still very silent so he took the initiative instead, "What are you looking for? Maybe I can help..."

Viktor ignored the question and changed the topic instead.

"Imperial Uncle, I know it is already very late but can we talk somewhere else? This is very important to me... "

"Yes. Of course. " He immediately agreed, thinking his nephew probably needs some advice or guidance like usual. "Do you like to go to our usual spot or do you want somewhere different?" He gently asked. He would like the young man to be comfortable while telling him about his concern.

"The usual spot is great." Viktor coldly replied and motioned for his uncle to lead the way, "After you, Imperial Uncle..."

He nodded and silently walked. He was secretly hoping that the young lad would not ask him for love advice. When they were already in their secret spot, he immediately felt something cold and sharp pierce through his back, puncturing his body! When he checked his chest, he saw the tip of the long dagger protruding outside!

"How does it feel to be stabbed in the back, huh?!" Viktor maliciously grabbed his uncle's shoulder and whispered to his ear before slowly twisting the dagger to widen the wound and make it even more painful!

Emperor Aiden could feel the excruciating pain in his chest and the ample flow of warm, sticky fluid staining his clothes. The young lad retracted the dagger and pushed him to the ground. Their eyes met. One had a burning anger and desire to kill in his eyes while the other one had very calm and clear eyes.

"You might be wondering why?" Viktor mocked him.

"I know why... Viktor, I am sorry... I am very sorry..." Aiden softly replied. He did not bother to fight back. Inside his heart, he knew it was his fault. He already knew this is coming... The only question was when will it happen.

"Sorry?!! Your sorry is not enough! This is for my Imperial Father!" Viktor stabbed him in another side of the chest. He made sure that he would suffer but not immediately die. "This one is for my Imperial Mother!" Another stab in the chest. "This is for lying to me all these years!" He stabbed him several times in different parts of the body. After that, he snickered as he looked at his uncle's very pale yet still attractive face... "And this is for seducing her!!!" Finally, he ruthlessly put deep cuts across his uncle's handsome face, effectively disfiguring the face that attracted countless women in the past, the same face his beloved person had a habit of gazing at...

The emperor had a sad look in his eyes while his nephew is disfiguring him. It seems that his stillness and silence irked the young man even more! Unconsciously, his mind went back to the time he first hold Viktor in his arms and feed him... to the time he heard his first word... to the time he saw him take his first step... first run... first climb... first jump... first swim... He recalled their indoor and outdoor games... their silly drawings and creations in the sand... their memorable coaching time, happy bedtime stories, and rigorous training period until the time she left them on the island and he coaxed the child into moving forward while waiting for her to come back... He felt the sharp and cold edge of the blade on his throat as his nephew's voice drew him back to the present...

"Any last words, Imperial Uncle?" Viktor asked him coldly before he end his uncle's suffering.

"Psi... I want to see her for the last time... " He would like to add the last part but his blood filled his nose and mouth making him unable to breathe or speak. He coughed up to clear his airways but more blood poured out from his nose and mouth instead.

"Wrong answer!" Viktor screamed, thinking that his uncle was trying to call her attention to save himself. He covered the mouth, now oozing with fresh blood, to prevent him from making another noise! At first, he only wanted to slit the throat but now, he started to press the dagger to decapitate him painfully...

But someone grabbed his wrist, twisted his arm, and brutally crushed it! He screamed in pain when ruthless energy entered his body! It was a very small amount of pure energy but enough to inflict severe pain and damage to his entire right arm! 

The intense pain made him want to lose consciousness but sadly, it made him more alert to the surrounding... It was dark but he could hear the familiar sound of waves and smell the beach! He gritted his teeth when he figured out that she maimed him and teleported him back to the island...  But that was not the worst!

He discovered that she placed a very strong barrier on the entire island so he could not escape!
