GHOST : THE STRONGEST LORD

2. Vs Royalty

Aloran woke up in a chamber which was totally empty the moment he woke up.

"Well you woke up" said an old man wearing a white cloak.

"You look ugly" said Aloran.

"Is that the first thing you notice when you wake up in a heavily guarded control chamber" asked the man who was shocked by Aloran's comment on this looks.

"Well, what are you going to do to me me?" Asked Aloran.

"You will be executed shortly" said that old man, his voice uninterested.

"Is that so?, well what reason you have to execute me?"

"Well you did not commit any crime but you killed the princess inside School premises which is not a crime as stated in school rules but there is more to your execution order which is confidential" said the old man.

Xholdir enters the chamber with a sword.

"You are the one who knelt before me in order to ambush me with twenty knights and take me here." said Aloran.

Somewhere inside the chamber, Aloran hears a sobbing sound. When he looks, he sees a girl about his age, whimpering and crying while wearing torn clothes.
Xholdir notices Aloran's gaze and says "Oh don't worry about her, she's my second cousin who spilled coffee on my sister's dress, so she is getting this treatment, and yes she will be imprisoned here for the rest of her life"

"This is how they treat her just because she spilled coffee on his sister's dress, wow." However, I killed his sister, so if I do not take action, this will not end well for me." Aloran thought to himself.

"Well, you might be wondering the reason for your execution, well it's not the murder you committed, it's the type of energy you use" said Xholdir.

"Explain" said Aloran.

"In this kingdom and many other kingdoms, the energy you use is forbidden due to its extreme power and ancient age," Xholdir remarked.

" So you are killing me out of fear-"said aloran

"No," Xholdir cut him off. "It is because of something confidential."

"So, any last words kid?" Said the old man.

"Say your prayers, grumpy old wack"said Aloran.

Aloran closed and opened his eyes, his eyes turned black.

Aloran is unfamiliar with dark energy and does not know how to use it, but he had a vague notion about how to control it, so he directed all of his dark energy toward his limbs in order to free himself from the bonds that held him.

but Xholdir immediately lunged at him with his sword pointed at Aloran's neck.

"Light sorcerer spell : Lightspeed"
Xholdir came closer to Aloran in an instant.

"Light Sorcerer spell: Diamond shield," the old man uttered, raising a shield in front of him to protect Aloran from Xholdir's blow. He then used his sword to chop off Xholdir's arm.

With Xholdir crying out in agony, the old man leaped, pressed a button to open a door to an escape tunnel, and yelled to Aloran, "Run away, take her with you, take care of her" as He did this quickly as footsteps began to approach the room from various directions.

Aloran took the girl by the arm without pausing to consider his actions, and they fled together through the tunnel until they arrived at a forest where the tunnel led. They ran for hours and hours and finally stopped in an old, deserted cabin.

After catching his breath aloran asked "That old man, why did he help us?"

"Oh that man, he was my father" the girl replied as tears ran down her cheek.

"Pfff, a weakling" aloran thought to himself.

"Your name?" Asked Aloran.

"Carla" replied the girl,still sobbing.

"Stop crying eh"said Aloran in a nonchalant tone to the girl's face.
Then only he noticed how beautiful she was.

"Oh you look beautiful" he said to the girl.

The girl stopped crying and turned away.

An arrow grazed past Aloran's ear and struck Carla's shoulder, piercing and becoming embedded in her shoulder.

Glancing back, he saw an inconceivably large group of royal knights positioned in front of him, their arrows poised to shoot at him at any moment.

"Surrender or die" Spoke the General, who was standing in front of all of his men.

Behind him, he heard Carla collapse limp to the ground from bleeding. However, he did not turn around.

He stood there alone against an army with a soon to be dead-body lying limp on the ground behind him.
