Should I head towards the palace and look for the imperial knights? Sebastian should be there protecting the king and queen. Where sh-
*WOOSH*
Huh?
I focused back on the soldiers in front of the manor and see them lighting something up. Is that a molotov!? Are they really going to light it on- yes they really are.
This leaves me with no choice, even when half of the soldiers have divided into smaller group to surround the manor. There is still too many but for the sake of the princes-
The manor was surrounded by red smoke in a split second. The soldiers holding the molotovs were all very still in place. Time had stopped. I too was held in place until I heard a familiar voice.
"The princess casted the spell, do not worry it will not harm you" Zorul explained, appearing beside me again.
"Use this opportunity to get to her before it's too late"
"What do you mean by too late?-"
*BANG* *SPLASH*
Blood covered the manor's wall and the ground around it. Everything went silent, the very few that escaped the sudden attack, stood still very still. No one made a single move, perplexed to what they had just witnessed.
All that could be heard was the callings of a crow. Cawing away at the event that had unfolded before it's very eyes. A sign of death and the sign of change.
A new dawn appears before the Avion empire but who shall be the one leading it?
"Head for the manor! W-we've come t-this far.." A soldier cried out, rushing into the manor.
"FOR THE CROWN PRINCE! CHARGE!"
"HUH? The crown prince is behind all this!?"
He really is a sick bastard to be doing all this despite his secure position. His inferiority shows no bound to the extent he'd commit the same mistake the past kings have.
Now would be the best time to make a move.
I dashed in from behind the soldiers, catching them all completely off guard. I summoned my Sun Aura inflicting burns upon their bodies. I feel lightheaded again, my blood coursing through my veins. I couldn't think of anything else but to kill.
"Arghh! Where did she come from!"
"It's a monster!"
The soldiers looked at me with fear in their eyes. Why am I the essence of their fear when they were the ones causing the ruckus?
"Oh? Perhaps I am, now perish!" My fire infused sword struck the head of a soldier, shinning ever so brightly.
This is starting to feel.....a little exciting.
"Your Highness! Princess are you in here!?"
A few parts of the manor had caught on fire. The fire has yet to fully spread towards the center of the manor. Althought the manor doesn't seem like it could hold on for much longer.
"Princess!"
I rushed over towards an unknown figure laying in the corner of the study room. As I got closer, I realized the figure on the ground was.....
Ada.
I gently grabbed her body and placed her over my lap. Her ribcage had been blasted off to the point I could see her intestines sticking out. The area arou d her is completely covered by her blood and her face is as pale as a....ghost.
".....Ya...na..........p..alac..e..." Ada whispered
Her eyes soon fluttered close and I heard her take her final breath before leaving this world.
"Ada! Ada, stay with me!" I cried out, shaking her body in hopes she would open her eyes again.
*BOOM*
The wall next to me came crashing down, completely blocking of my only way of exit. Is this my end? I looked back down at Ada's lifeless body.
In a split second, the whole place came crashing down on me. I felt the burns and heavy objects hitting my back as they grew heavier and heavier by the second.
I felt Ada's body slipping away from my embrace. I aimlessly poked my hand under objects to find her again but to no avail.
I lost her.
I felt my body becoming heavier and heavier as I struggled to find air. Feeling hopeless under the rubble, I cried.
I cried for as long as I could until I stopped. My head empty with thoughts until I felt an overwhelming sense of rage.
In a blink of an eye everything surrounding me were gone. I was no longer under all that rubble but my hands were lit with flames that felt really suffocating.
I could feel my lungs giving out but the pain felt....non existant. No, more like I refuse to pay any attention to it.
It's time to head for the palace. I wonder if her highness is winning.

A maniacal laugh could be heard echoing through the area where the manor was built.
