Lord of war

Bleeding crown

   "King Hellsing ,i'm humbled you could join us," said Otto bowing before the king.The whole army behind him also bowed
   "What's the meaning of this ,general?" Asked the king angrily.
  "Well its simple ,you have to crown me king"
  "What the hell are you implying Otto?"He shouted trying to get out of the seat but Ludwig held him down.Otto marched up to the throne and bowed before him kissing his feet.All the men behind him steadied their grips on their weapons.Just a flick of his finger and the king would be reduced to minced meat before the eyes of the angry men.
   "Hellsing ,sorry, King Hellsing,I want you ,to crown me the new king of Germany !" Said Otto his eyes steady on the king. Seething with rage the king ran amok and kicked his face causing the whole battalion to draw their weapons ready to fire.Otto stopped them with a wave of his hand.His lower lip was bleeding but he didn't mind .
     "No one is worthy of killing a king !Not even another king! "He barked and everyone put down their weapons.
   "But nobody said we can't torture him until he begs the Lord himself to kill him," he added then burst out laughing. He nodded to one of the men and he came forward with the king's crown in hand .He quietly placed it on the kings head .
    He then bowed again and said once again softly as if saying to a child, "King Hellsing  ,crown me the new king of Germany,"
  "This is absurd General,you are not fit to be king!" He shook with anger and fear "No one in here except I ,Hellsing is fit to be king!"
   The whole army as this point all pointed their weapons at him ready to attack him.
  "You are prideful and egoistic,you are   playing at the eyes of death " said Otto
"Well theres only one way to fix this ,we will let the Lord choose," smiled Otto as he walked down and went to his men ,he chose 5 flintlocks and one musket and placed them before the king ,he went ahead and told him to choose his 3 guns of choice." If any of your gun is loaded and you are able to shoot me ,you will remain king and you can dispose the army as you want ,you can also order a public execution for me if i don't die yet,"he took a deep breath then continued "however if none of your guns are loaded ,I will choose mine and try them"
    Hellsing took a deep breath and he quickly picked up 2 flintlocks and a musket .He was sure the musket was loaded but he wasn't sure the army would still let him be king,nevertheless he still tried .
He started with the flintlocks taking a deep breath he shot but nothing came out ,It was empty and the crowd cheered even louder .He took the second flintlocks and also fired it ,still empty .His heart pounded harder in his chest threatening to break his ribcage .
He took deep breaths as he took the musket ,it felt loaded but instead of shooting the general he pointed it at himself and fired,the recoil was too fast and powerful since he held it in one hand .The bullet didn't hit his face ,it instead took his whole left ear and part of his face .He fell to the floor and writhed in pain clutching his face .The queen was startled back to consciousness and she screamed.
"You see Hellsing?"started Otto walking around to him,"even the Lord wants you to live long enough to crown me king" he laughed then knelt down beside him and said ,"for the last time,crown me new king of Germany ,i want tomorrow being the eighth day of June Germany will have a new king!"
"Go to fucking hell Otto !" The king groaned as he crawled towards the crown. Everyone watched silently as he crawled on the floor leaving behind him a trail of blood.They had no remorse remembering that he mercilessly had all his prime ministers killed .The queen couldn't take it anymore she knew he was hurting and he would take long before he bled to death .She snapped and snatched the flintlock from Klaus' waist and aiming for his heart she shot a bullet that shattered his chest and he fell down dead.
Everyone pointed their weapons at her but Otto told them to relax.She rushed upstairs into the bedroom.
"Gentlemen she is the queen,nobody harm her!" He then walked after her as Ludwig and Klaus followed shortly incase she harbored a weapon .She rushed into the bedroom and shut the door but since the knob was blown off it didn't shut. Ludwig and Klaus went in ,apprehended her and took her downstairs.
"Gentlemen,since the king is dead the queen rules!" He bowed slightly and the army behind him did so too.
"Now ,your majesty ,you have to crown me king of Germany ," he said bowing before her .
"You are not worthy of the throne you wicked general ,you betrayed and murdered the king who appointed you general!" She spat acidly .
"Well I didn't murder him,you did ,well unless you wanna deny it in front of the whole crowd," he grinned looking at all the men in there .
"But he was hurting!"
" Well the guillotine will hurt even more once we charge you for murdering the king," he smiled.
"Thats better than being ruled by you !" She said before he went close to his ears and whispered softly.
"I know you are pregnant with the a child who isn't the king's,even if you live and birth the child ,you will be charged for prostitution and killed anyway together with the child ,so do as I fucking say ,its almost morning ,"
The queen whimpered at those words but he lightly slapped her and commanded "This is for Germany!be strong!" He then bowed before her .She picked the king's crown which was strewn on the floor and with a contemptuous look she placed it on Otto's head .She then dipped her hand in the blood and drew a cross on his face.
He stood up ,kissed the queens hands and ordered two of his men to clean up the kings corpse and escort the two women into the dungeons.The rest of the men cheered as their new king walked amongst them .They all hugged him and kissed his hands as he walked .One of the men rushed outside and rung the Castles bell 7 times which meant that the whole town had to come to the palace tomorrow morning for an important announcement.
Otto and his two assassins mounted on their horses as soon as they got outside .The horses strode slowly outside the palace gates followed behind by a mighty army of men chanting coronation songs in glory of the king .
