Twin star exorcists Fantasy

Part 33

Rokuro P.O.V.

I suddenly became restless. I don't know why but I felt that Benio was in danger. But she was supposed to be fine...

"Rokuro! How's dad doing?" Mayura burst into the room.

"Where's Benio?" I asked.

"Eh? The princesses wanted to talk to her..." Mayura looked confused.

"The PRINCESSES?!?!?!?!" I nearly shouted.

"Yeah." 

"Where is she?" I stood up and began to panic. Anything could have happened to Benio by now. She could even be dead!

"At the front entrance." Mayura got tense. "Why are you so scared?"

I just ran out of the door towards the front entrance. "You stay there with Seigen Mayura! I'll be back with Benio!" I yelled before closing the door.

BENIO P.O.V.

The princesses had this haunted crazy look in their eyes. I shook as I tried to keep my balance. I stumbled backwards as one of them took a step forward brandishing the knife in a threatening.

I tried to run out of the gates into the forest. But the princesses had locked them.

I screamed again as I tried to crawl away from the danger. But in vain. My back brushed against the wall.

I screamed again trying to run away. But one of the princesses managed to throw a knife at me nearly cutting my arm. I knew I could defend myself but I didn't want to hurt them.

"Rokuro..." I whispered. It was like a prayer. Like whenever I would say that name, the childish kind prince would show up, pull me into his strong arms, and protect me with love and care.

"Rokuro." I whispered again. "Please..." Tears trickled down my cheeks. "Please... Help me." Almost as if on cue. Rokuro was beside me.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah." Suddenly pain shot through my arm. That was where the knife had brushed against my skin.

"Hmph! Dear prince. You're already too late. That knife we just threw was dosed with lethal poison. Even a small amount on the skin can kill a human. You're already feeling the pain aren't you Adashino?" she sneered at me. I glared back, but I started coughing...out....blood.

"AARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed writhing on the floor with agony. It burned....

My skin....

It burned....

It felt like I was being eaten alive....

ROKURO P.O.V.

I heard Benio's scream. She was on the ground curling and twisting her body trying to get rid of the pain. I dropped down to her level, and put her head on my lap.

"Ladies our work is done. Let's tell mother and father to take us home." the princesses swung their hips as they laughed like lunatics walking away as if they didn't just murder my wife.

"Oh, Benio..." I stroked the young girl's hair as I cradled her limp body close to my chest.

I picked her up and walked quickly towards the Infirmary wing. "Get the best physicians, and prepare the rooms to give the utmost comfort as possible." I commanded to the maids who were bustling about doing their duties.

"Yes sir!" they immediately made arrangements and Benio was finally resting in peace. Her breathing started to become normal again. I murmured soft comforting words into her ears as the doctors did their work.
