Imperial Destiny-[ Kouha Ren x Reader ]

Chp::28--Key

A giant explosion became visible even in your location. It came from the (N/E) Empire which was erased in the continent in a blink of an eye. Not even a single trace was left in the said kingdom. Everything was burned away. The nobles looked at you with indescribable faces as you forced a straight face. Your lips were trembling and your eyes watered but you hid it all.

" (Y/n)-neechan, don't tell me you gave up your kingdom to save the others?! " the blue haired magi asked

You couldn't look at him in the eye. Your lips were frozen to speak but you were determined to continue. Kouha's crimson eyes paled, seeing you depressed with your decision. Kouen on the other hand looked as if he expected all of this to happen.

You were finally given the courage to speak after a while of silence. You clenched your fists and your voice was firm. You stood there explaining what would become of your plan.

" I don't have the time to explain everything as of now. And surely not all of you will understand why I did such thing. This plan is not guaranteed to work even at full cost but trust me when I say that I'm going to make a difference. I will take responsibility for all my actions in return, please lend me your strength! "

" We understand. You heard her. " Kouen answered as he motioned a go sign to his household members

Afterwards, his household members began to attack. A swarm of black Djinns flew to your direction. Everyone was prepared as they braced themselves to fight. The black rukh was limitless and it seems like Magnostadt was pretty much ready to risk it all in this fight.

' Kill all the goi Kings. Kill all the goi Kings. Annihilate them all! ' Matal Mogamett cursed

Kouen formulated a plan on how wed can corner the Djinns. You unsheathed your sword and was ready to go in position just when the third prince called for you.

" (Y/n), wait. " he called " You lost almost everything, but I'll still be here. You may have fallen along with your kingdom but everything remains the same for me. When this war is done, I guarantee you these things won't happen again. But promise me... "

He held your ice cold hand as your gaze met with each other.

" ...promise me that you won't die " he said with a bitter expression

You had a faint yet sweet smile drawn on your lips, a glance that guaranteed him of your approval and promise.

" Say Kouha... " you replied " ... we met because of a war. I won't let it end because of that too. That's the very last thing I'll do, even if it costs me my power, all my strength. I can give up anything, because I just found the answer that was right in front of me all along "

With this bewildering message, you left him.

' I will remember your vow, the promise you had given me. It's not just you who found it, I had discovered the answer long before you knew. '

Rested inside the ships were Reim's injured soldiers. As expected, the black Djinns also came after them. Scheherazade was furious and was willing to fight for her people. Knowing that she is the most powerful one there, she protected the invading forces for the last time with all her might.

" In that case, we will join you " she turned to see Muu along with the Fanalis Corps

Despite their injuries and wounds, the red headed wilds insisted to join the fight along with their beloved Priestess. Still, they were bugged not knowing what had become of their comrade.
