NOIRS
3. The Prince who betrays

King Clodoveo who had just looked down silently suddenly showed an extraordinary look of anger. His pupils grew bigger and he heard Carlustinus say about his daughter's murder plot.

     King Clodoveo rose from his seat in anger.

     "WHAT... WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH MY FAMILY! TRAITOR!!!"

     The whole room was silent seeing the king's anger.

     "ARE YOU SATISFIED TO HOLD US AND DEPRIVE MY GOVERNMENT??? NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT, LURINA???"

     "YOU GUYS, WHAT A FUCK!!! WHAT DO YOU WANT!!!" snapped King Clodoveo while smashing his hands in a shirt.

     Someone from behind the curtains appeared and answered the king's question.

     "Lurina may have been enjoying a long beautiful dream." she replied.

     "... Brother."

     King Clodoveo looked at the man.

     "YOU....,"

     That person was wearing the typical royal family clothes neatly. The king was surprised instead of playing, the one who answered his question was his younger brother, Prince Roderick.

     "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, ROD? GO QUICKLY!" the king's orders.

     However, King Clodoveo glanced at Prince Roderick's hand. He did not appear to be wearing handcuffs or any tools that held him. King Clodo looked at him.

     "Rod?... Whyyy?... Why are you so free? What really happened" asked King Clodoveo.

     Nikolaus approached Prince Rod.

     "One more surprise for you, my lord."

     Nikolaus turned his back and looked at King Clod with a smile.

     "He was the one who helped us" Nikolaus said with a smile.

     King Clod and his followers shook his head. They did not expect any involvement of one of the royal families in the coup.

     "Don't joke Rod." said King Clodoveo.

     "Impossible..," continued General Evrard.

     "BUT WHY PRINCE? WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM WITH YOUR MAJESTY THE KING?" ask General Dusten.

     The four of them did not get any response from Prince Roderick. They were laughed at by the traitors.

     Prince Roderick just stared blankly at the four of them. The aura is also very cold.

     King Clodoveo was convinced that his younger brother could not do something as sneaky as this. But his opinion faltered, because Prince Roderick showed himself directly before him that he was indeed involved in this coup.

     King Clodoveo also realized that the resistance of the palace could be broken easily, even no significant resistance from his side, because there was interference from his brother.

     The cheerful laughter of the traitors ceaselessly filled the ears of King Clod and his followers.

     However, King Clodoveo and his followers could only fall silent at the laughter of contempt.

...-----...

     The footsteps sounded clear. King Clodoveo and his followers were taken by 4 heavily armed soldiers down a poorly lit staircase. There was only a torch hung on each wall as their illumination led to a room.

     Their hands are connected to chains that are linked to the handcuffs in their hands. They were also ordered to wear forced labor clothes by the traitors.

     They accept the reality. They will be imprisoned.

     Before long, they finally arrived at the dungeon. There were some people in the room already.

     "Your Majesty!"

     The sentence welcomed the king's arrival in the prison.

     King Clodove tried to take a glance.

     They are the ones who are loyal to him. Both military and government officials were in the room. The family of King Clodoveo.

     King Clodoveo was expressionless. He just stared at them with a lethargic face.

     "ENTRY!" the soldier's orders led them to the prison.

...-----...

     Bodies are everywhere. Seen Sang Noir still standing in the same place, in front of Princess Lurina.

     Princess Lurina witnessed for herself how the Noir had wiped out all the traitors without difficulty, including Commander Hans.

     Princess Lurina could only fall silent at the massacre.

     Not long ago they were finished by the Noir, suddenly someone rose up in the middle of the corpses. He limped towards the princess with a few arrows still stuck in her body.

     The Noir shifted from where he stood, as if he wanted Princess Lurina to see that person.

     The Princess was puzzled, how could that person still be able to rise after hundreds of arrows rained down on her body.

     *bruggggh

     The man could no longer move his legs. He fell down before approaching the princess. He vaguely said something.

     "Near him!"

     Suddenly Noir ordered Princess Lurina to approach the man.

     Clearly the princess was shocked to hear the orders of the Noir. He stood up and ventured to approach the man.

     He slowly stepped out his legs to make sure the man would not attack him suddenly. Sometimes he looked back to make sure the Noir would not leave him, although he still doubted whether the figure was on his side or not.

     "Tu-tu-an... Th-tri..."

     Princess Lurina was surprised to hear that person was still able to speak.

     "UNCLE HANS!"

     It seems that Commander Hans still survived the attack. He told the princess to approach him and make sure that this time he was completely helpless.

     "Men-de-kat. I'm not gonna hurt you."

     Princess Lurina approached him even though she was hesitant.

     "Listen me.... Will squeal... Hal... Important."

     "...Don't return... To... Palaces... Go awayl... As far as... Perhaps.;" Commander Hans said with the remnants of his power.

     Princess Lurina was puzzled by Commander Hans' words. He asked her what was going on in the palace.

     But alas, that was the last sentence of Commander Hans. Princess Lurina did not get more details about the situation in the palace.

     "Rest in peace, Uncle."

     Princess Lurina paid her last respects to Commander Hans before he moved closer to Sang Noir.

     "You must go," said Sang Noir looking at the bewildered Princess Lurina.

     "No. I'm going back. I have to make sure everything!" princess Lurina replied with complete confidence.

     "With fear still enveloping your heart and mind?"

     Princess Lurina was silent. He can't answer that question. He also could not hide his feelings at this time.

     "The man was telling the truth, something is going on in your palace."

     "You better go to a safe place before returning to your palace."

     The Noir left after convincing Princess Lurina not to return to the palace.

     "WHERE SHOULD I GO?"

     The footsteps of the Noir stopped. He was silent for a moment before finally giving an answer.

     "Follow me" replied the Noir.

     Princess Lurina was still hesitant with Sang Noir. Commander Hans's army was slaughtered just like that, the stories circulating, and his sinister appearance really scared Princess Lurina to death. However, he had no choice but to go with her.

     Princess Lurina also felt that what Commander Hans said was indeed true, even though she had previously intended to finish herself off.
