The King And His Fox

chp 19

Author pov-

The week of stress had come over the king with the war steadily coming over the horizon,a scandal among him and his close servant, and the knowledge of a spy among the castle servants, his head non stop raced and would not give him rest.

"My lord if we advance from the south we could cut them off"

"But if we do that are troops would be left out in the blue with out anything to defend them"

"Your right but that's why we will have a small group from the northern sec taking over there defenses"

"Does that sound good my king?"

Mathew-"uh ya sounds great just remember the people and the kingdom are top priority"

"Yes my king"

"My lord what about the spy tho?"

Mathew-"me and my knights will take care of it so just worry about the war ok"

And with that the king left the men to attend to a search of the castle for a spy.

Ed-"my lord are you sure there is a spy?"

Mathew-"not really but I can't explain or figure out how she knew something so private?"

Ed-"my lord it doesn't matter ok the terrible woman is in the dungeons now and the engagement to a noble has been cancelled you should be over joyed my king"

Mathew-"yes I know but still might as well I can't really do much since the war is about to start politically so really it's best we do"

Ed-"*sigh* yes my lord as you wish"

As we entered the small room I saw a line of servants with dates and schedules and personal info written down for the integration.

As one by one storys of poor familys, simple living, and hopeful futures read to me I saw no one fitting a motive or time to know of it and soon made my situation more and more hopeless.

Mathew-"ok I'm your free to go "

"Thank you my lord"

Mathew-"ok next servant.."

Before  Mathew could speak more he stoped and saw none other then hallow in his butler suit and hair tied neat and pulling off large bags under his crystal blue eyes.

Mathew-"um your good hallow you should go back to your room and rest"

Hallow-"but my lord I have to I am a servant too even if I am Ill I should tell my work day"

He's face tho tired and weak looking gave a sort of confidence to it making Mathew shocked.

Mathew-"ok what ever you say"

As they went back and forth a loud bang suddenly came rumbling through the castle causing all the servants waiting to scream and tell in fear.

Mathew-" everyone go back to your post imediately  now!"

His voice no longer calm now strong and loud caused everyone to stop and listen and obey

Hallow-"my lord I will go check on the noise ok"

Mathew-"like I said before your Ill still you cannot fight in this state go back to bed"

Hallow-"then what do you see me as I am a servant and a knight and as yours I must even if I do not feel good ok now let me go please I do not wish to dwell on the past ok"

His words seemed honest and true and the king himself knew he was right he must go and do his job

Mathew-"fine go and be on guard"

Hallow-"I will"

As he ran with sword on belt he feared of what to come but knew he must fight no stupid ptsd can stop him or anyone else from being safe and true.

As the sound of the rumbling neared the sound of swords clashing and people grunting as I turned in the direction of the dungeons I saw knights and guards fighting men in black mask  the fighting brutal as wounds and limbs bleed from every line as I went forward one of the men in black charged at me, with body down low I picked up his body and threw it over my shoulder then stabbed him with my sword to make sure he stayed down, as man after man came towards me my breathing teetered as tho I was drowning it was getting hard as on slammed his body weight into my sword causing me to stumble slightly and receive a cut on my arm.
I winced in pain as the wound bleed making my vision slightly blurry as I turned towards the hole blown through the wall I sqented trying to make out the people in front of me.

"Tsk tsk tsk what a pitty you are owned by the enemy I would so take you if I could your so cute and young"

"Mother we talked about this no kidnapping"

"I know Anne I just really like him"

The name echoed as Hallow layed on the the stones trying to get up,

"Hey sweetie so this is the servant you said slept with him?"

Anne-"yes the dirty foxman"

"Well let's show him what it feels to be in real pain"

As the sword exited the hilt the hilt fell loudly to the ground
Echoing and mixing with the sounds of guards yelling and fighting when the puncture sound of a sword woke Hallow up from his day dream.

The feeling was excruciating and felt treble as she twisted the sword like a whisk in my body.
My screams of pain sounded like sirens in my ears as she kept going in and out with the sword and laughing hysterically

"Wow pretty gutsy for a foxman they usually pass out by now but your still awake funny"

Anne-"mother we have to go more guards are coming and we can't keep wasting time!"

"Oh yes sorry dear let's go"

As they left with the men in black
All hallow could see was blood and lots of it.

"Hallow!"
