113 All at lost
“Your majesty, he is Drake Beyor, your ancestor.” Said Bernard to Justice.
The shocking revelation gave a chill to Justice and Vale. While Xavier growled viciously at the lycans that were trying to reclaim their first kill. Justice was shaken, Vale could see pure rage and also fear mixed on his expression.
“Justice, calm down, you know what you need to do to him, right?” Vale tries to calm him down and reminded him about his goal, which is to kill the main host, in order for him to be free from the curse.
The man that is claimed as Drake Beyor smile at Bernard, “Old man, you have done your homework, you exposed my real identity, I hope it was enough to stop me, though.”
“What do you want from the crown prince? I know you have some bad intentions in this kingdom.” Bernard doesn’t even scared, he just looks at the man and asks him a question.
“You know something, don’t you?” This time Justice asked his chief guard.
“I’ll tell you later, for now, you need to defeat him, as your main host, right? I’ll help you.” Says Bernard with some mystery in his voice.
Justice prepares his weapon once more, “You owe me a lot of explanation, old man.”
With one strike they plunged themselves into Drake Beyor, while Xavier fought the matron with Malek assisting him, and Vale with his subordinate Martin gave a hard time for the other lycans. Justice and Bernard have a hard time with Drake Beyor, while the crown prince uses a swift move, the chief guard Bernard tried to hack Drake Beyor with his great axe.
.....
“What in the world old man? I was supposed to be the one who killed him, not you!” Justice screamed at Bernard when he saw the chief guard almost cut the head of Drake Beyor.
Bernard gave the crown prince a grin, “Then, do a better move!”
In the other fight, Xavier clawed into the matron, while Malek jump into the matron’s shoulder, and with his cleave he hacked the head of the matron, killing her instantly. Werewolf Xavier looks into his subordinate and snorts.
“What? Was I supposed to wait for your great move or what?!” Malek shrugged and teased his captain.
The two of them then helped Vale and Martin fight the remaining lycans together, Vale uses full reflection on himself and sends two of the lycans flying into the floor, and Martin cast his firewall and burns the body of one lycan. Xavier fought one and gnawed into the head of the lycan, with his big claw, he shredded the body of the lycan into pieces.
“Xave, calm down, he was dead already.” Vale tried to calm werewolf Xavier, sometimes when he takes so long in his werewolf form, his animalistic instinct takes in and gave him a hard time reconnecting to his man self again. The two lycans stand up once more, Vale looks into Xavier and said, “Go helped Justice, I’ll take care of these two,”
Werewolf Xavier run towards Drake Beyor, but the main host predicted his jump and with his right-hand catches Xavier’s face and locked him in the palm of his hand. The man finally showed them his true strength, the one that Justice saw back then.
Drake Beyor observes Xavier and then smiles at him, “Oh, you’re the man that doesn’t want to reveal your true nature to that beautiful girl, am I right? So, did she knows about you, about how you’re this grotesque animal?” Said Drake to Xavier, mocking him about his werewolf form.
Suddenly, Xavier transform into his man self, and with his two hands grab into Drake Beyor’s arm and crushed the arm with his pure power, when he saw Drake writhing in pain, Xavier smiled at him, “Oh, she knows about it already, and she loves what she was seeing.”
He throws Drake Beyor to the floor and then screams for Justice to come over. The red hair crown prince jumped with a great sword in his hand, he plunge the sword directly through Drake Beyor’s heart. Blood came spurts from Drake Beyor’s body, the man looked directly at Justice and whispered a few words to him.
Justice and Xavier heard the final words from the main host, and with a blood-curdling scream, Drake Beyor is no more living, only the pool of black color blood on the floor, with a red jewel as the remains of Drake Beyor, Justice picked the red jewel and with his great sword break the red jewel into pieces. A black miasma came out from the jewel, Brom looks at it and immediately place the glass container into the broken jewel.
“What are you doing?” Justice looks at him with a frown on his face.
“We need this, my mother asks for a sample of the lycans and now I have more than the lycans.” Brom has a weird smile going on his face, and Justice with Vale shudders to see him.
The crown prince goes to Vale and whispers, “He really is one of the weirdest and scary men around.”
“Give you some thought of what else he could do, right?” Whispered Vale back to Justice, he then take a look at his friend, “Are you alright? How do you feel?”
“Strangely enough, I feel free, like no more anxiousness, but time will tell...” Said Justice to Vale, he was still bothered by the last words that coming from Drake Beyor’s mouth.
Xavier steps in front of them, with a stark naked body full of dirt and dried blood everywhere. The other two look at him with a grimace on their face.
“Put some clothes on, will you?!” said Vale and Justice to the shameless Xavier.
Malek saw his captain and whistled, “D*mn captain, you will give some girls a lot of a hard time with that size.”
“Thanks, I’ll take that as a compliment any day.” Xavier gave smirked at Malek, while Vale and Justice rolled their eyes.
With a second, Vale take off his cloak and gave it to Xavier, “Put this on, I have enough of savagery in one day.”
The three of them walk outside of the abandoned building, Nathan is already inside to check on the first kill, the girl was in shock but she will live. The lycans’ dead bodies were everywhere, they stop in some spots to ask about the casualties. So far the lycans were being counted, and they do have some casualties from their side, werewolves and some of the knights, one mage lost a limb, and healers still trying to stop the bleeding.
“We knew this is going to happen, and they knew about the risk,” Vale said to Justice, he saw how his guilty conscience begin to eat up from the inside.
Justice gave him a stern smile, “I know Vale, I know... Just... Let us do some rounds, make sure we are taking good care of them, that’s the least we could do.”
Before they could walk further, one of the healers came to them and shouted Xavier’s name, “Please, I need to talk to captain Xavier.”
Xavier steps in, “I’m Xavier, what happened?”
“Oh, someone named Xander was asking for you, captain, it was about your uncle.”
Xavier take a deep breath, he was shocked by the news, and they followed the healer back to the inn. Inside the healer’s tent, they saw an old man lying on the patient’s bed. Xander took glanced at them and stands up from his seat, his face says it all, the old man is dying.
“Brother, he... he tried to save me and the lycan was...” He cried on Xavier’s shoulder, reimagined how the old man was now in bed with his last breath, where a ghastly wound was exposed on his chest.
“It’s alright Xander... Come on, let me talk to him, alright?” Xavier tried to calm his brother and asked him to step aside.
Following his brother’s request, he stands up in the corner, while Xavier sits and holds the old man’s hand. the old man smile at his grandnephew and with his raspy voice begins to speak.
“Take care... Of... Of your brother...”
Xavier smiled back at his uncle, “I will don’t worry, I’m not going to leave him again.”
The old man smiled, and patted the strong hand of Xavier, “I... I knew I could always count on... Xavier... Please forgive me...from my deepest heart...”
“I know, and yes I forgave you,” He called for Xander to come by his side, they were holding into the old man’s hand, “We forgive you, grandpa.”
The old man dies peacefully not long after, Xander wailed holding the body of his once treasured uncle, while Xavier gets up, trying to cry alone in the corner. Justice and Vale look at him from afar, giving him some space but also telling him that he wasn’t alone, and that’s when Bernard came to talk to Justice.
“Your majesty, I am sorry to barge in, but we need to talk.” Bernard whispering to Justice doesn’t want to interrupt Xavier’s mourning on the corner.
Justice nodded his head, “I was trying to see you as well, we have a lot to talk about, Bernard.”
