Chapter 13 the other dragon

A/n: okay! Now let's get started, To the guest that commented. It's okay, You guys don't pester me. If anything I thank you guys for doing that. Because I have a habit at times to forget to update my work, And being reminded of it helps me out a lot. So I fully understand your reasoning for asking me to update my work. And I'm glad that you enjoy it, I still can't believe this actually worked when I crossed over the two. Guess it was a good idea for me to have this idea after all that day I was at work.

*ahem* Sorry, Anyway, Back to the story.

P.s: I will get back to the dragons of pride and destruction after I finish this story and Wolf of Keijo. I am sorry to the fans that like that story.

Mathias was riding his horse back to the capital with a heavily wounded Corthal in tow. Mathias was however being very careful with bringing him back to the empire.

"His majesty will not be pleased with what he will see..." Mathias said to himself.

-the Empire-

The day was like any other day for the empire, Save for Emperor Molt was at the council once again with his senators. They were discussing the topic of sending his daughter, Pina to the holy ground. They found it strange to send Pina and her army to the holy ground and not more units.

"Do you honestly think that it was a good idea to send your daughter and her so called army of children to the hill?" A pro-war senator asked the emperor "This is a time for war! Not some playground for women to prance around!".

However a pro-peace senator began to argue with the pro-war senator.

"You fool! Are you that blind?! The princess could perhaps work out a peaceful relationship with the enemy! This could be helping in keeping the empire afloat!" The pro-peace senator argued.

Molt just listened to both sides, One side was still willing to fight. While the other was willing to work out a peaceful relationship. Both sides had good reasons in Molts eyes, But his thirst for conquest and to bully and control everything was what ultimately blinded him, And that was what became his greatest weakness. Marquis quickly took hold of the situation.

"Now everyone!" He called out in a loud tone of voice "Let us talk about this in a orderly fashion. Now-". Just then Mathias burst his way into the senate. "My lord! Forgive me for interrupting your meeting! But I have some tragic news to inform you about!".

This made everyone look at Mathias, Molt included.

"What is the matter, Mathias?" Molt asked the man.

"We found the mage in black! Unfortunately, He was allying himself with the invaders from the gate! They fought against the fire dragon, While Corthal took on the mage in black. However, The mage in black ruthlessly killed all 2,000 hunter knights! Without even touching them! And as for Corthal...well...".

The senators were in a mix bag, They had heard of the so called mage in black and his feet at the hill. But like the rest, Didn't believe such an act from a mage was even possible. However the mention that over 2,000 knights that Corthal had taken were killed, And the mention of Corthal being injured was enough to cause a bit of concern.

"What happen to prince Corthal, Boy! Tell us!" A senator asked him.

Mathias turned to the senator until he then called out to the doors.

"Bring him in!" Mathias called.

Just then the doors opened as some hunter knights were bringing in Corthal. The look on their faces was absolutely horrific, Corthal was in a broken state, And he was barely hanging on by a thread because of the deep wounds that Sean had inflicted onto him in vengeance. Some of the senators all stood up in shock at the sight of Corthal's body. Molt then got up from his chair and walked to his son, He calmly placed his hand on his chest, And was both surprised and relieved that his son was still alive.

"My son is alive!" Molt announced to the senators, This made the senators clap their hands in relief that their prince was still breathing. However, Corthal tried to move his body, But was stopped by his father.

"Nghhh...".

"Now now, fili mi ne quoquam. non debet corpus debet plene donec inveniat variae cureris" Molt told his son calmly. Corthal sighed as he laid his head back down to rest like his father asked him to, Molt then snapped his fingers at the hunter knights.

"Take him to his palace".

"Yes, My lord!".

The hunter knights then carried Corthal away, As Molt then placed his hand onto Mathias's shoulder. "You should go with him" he ordered "He'll need someone to watch over him". Mathias fully understood and nodded at the Emperor and left after Corthal to look after him. Molt then placed his hand under his chin to stroke it as he then pondered.

'Perhaps...that information on Mathias report wasn't just a story after all...' Molt thought as he then tried to figure out the situation 'If this mage in black is capable of killing 2,000 Soldiers without laying a single finger on them. As well as putting my son in such a critical condition. Then we should do everything in our power to capture him and take his power for our own!'.

Molt pondered for a moment more until he then decided to think about the subject for a latter time, As he went back to his meeting with his senators once more.

-Corthal's Palace-

Corthal was taken back to his palace so that he could heal his wounds in peace, Many of the nobles were horrified to see him in such a bad state, Many of his noble friends asked his knights who had done such a thing to him so that they could have revenge for him in his honor. The knights only said that the mage in black was the one who caused all of this, As well as the deaths of the missing 2,000 hunter knights. This caused an uproar with Corthal's noble friends, As they promised to take revenge on the mage that did this to their dear loyal friend.

However Mathias on the other hand hadn't said a single thing when they were making the trip back to his palace. In fact, He had been strangely impatience the whole time, They made their way to Corthal's bed chambers, And laid the man to rest and recover. His female servants were just as horrified to see him in his current state, And instantly rushed to get him medical care. Noriko wasn't present, As she was with the other prisoners that Corthal had captured when he went to Japan. They were being tossed around by his soldiers and other friends at the moment, Minus Mathias who never took part in any horrific act, He was a loyal man to a loyal woman. The thought of of him committing rape upon an innocent maiden would be heresy.

However Mathias was soon called for by Corthal.

"Ahh...Mathias...".

"Hm? Yes, My lord?".

"I...need you to do me a major favor, If you could please".

"Your wish is my command, What is the favor that you would have me do?".

Corthal was looking at the celling, His eyes then darted to the open view of the capital. "If you would be so kind, Please...bring that traitor William to my bed side" Corthal asked of him "I wish to mock him to make myself feel better...after my INSULTING DEFEAT AT THE HANDS OF THAT MAGE! *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*".

Mathias walked over to Corthal as he then patted him gently on the chest, He didn't want to see him in such a horrible state. "I shall get the traitor" Mathias told him as he then took his leave as Corthal's servants came into his room to tend to him.

-Imperial prison-

William was in his cell as he was sitting on the floor next to the bars, He wanted Tyuule to have the bed for herself for the week. But she insisted to share with him. But William wanted her to rest easy, As he took the floor.

As Tyuule was sleeping peacefully for the week that she wouldn't be needed as Zorzal's play toy and dreaming of her and William being free, As well as the change in mate that he chose. William was having a conversation with his prisoners on the other side, A pair of humanoids: two Leonoids, a cat-human, And a male dark elf. They were mostly informing William of what had been going on for the past 3 years since his absence.

"So the gate has opened this year? It seems odd that it would open now" William expressed with a sigh. The dark elf sighed with him.

"The imperials I heard were vastly outnumbered, My saint" the dark elf told him. The outnumbered part was what caught Williams ears.

"Outnumbered?".

"You don't know?" One of the leonoids spoke up "The Imperials were defeated by the enemy from the other side of the gate. I heard that even the neighboring nations were not able to even get up the hill! Also...theirs talk of rumors about a mage in all black that fell from the sky by a strange blue light. And killed over 10,000 units without touching them" the leonoid finished.

Hearing this made William shiver a bit, The thought of a mage doing such a thing was terrifying. William wasn't as short-sighted as his father or the other nobles, He believed anything could be possible if one dares to make it a reality. However the cat-person then told William something else.

"The people in the red light district..." he muttered "They miss you terribly, Saint William...".

William's mouth swallowed hard, The mention of the red light district was where some of the bunny warriors from the northern part of Falmart were, As well as his many friends. William wanted to see how they were doing, But unfortunately, He was stuck. However the sound of footsteps were coming their way. The group was quiet until the figure stopped at William's door. William looked up to see that it was Mathias.

The two men glared at each other.

"Mathias...".

"Animal loving traitor!".

The two kept their hard glares, Before both men then started to laugh, The humanoids joining in the laugher as well. Mathias then pulled out the key and unlocked the cell door for William to come out, William was absolutely surprised by this.

"You're letting me out, Mathias?" William questioned.

"It's unfortunately for a short time, Old friend" Mathias sadly informed him "Corthal has been badly wounded by the mage in black, And he wishes to see you and insult you to make himself feel better..." Mathias spoke with utmost bitterness in his tone "Damn fool! He should just rot!".

William then placed his hand on his old friends shoulder "Mathias, You have to keep your true motives down. Remember, Corthal has no idea that you're still my friend, And that you quote on quote "Left me to rot" after my moment with Delilah..." William reminded him. Mathias nodded at him.

"I'm sorry" Mathias responded "But I just cannot stand to be around him any longer! I miss our friendship, William. And I'm doing my best to take care of the humanoids and people in the slums too. Piece by piece" Mathias informed. William sighed, He was just hoping that he would be released soon, So that he could help out the humanoids and get revenge against Corthal. However, Two things were on William's mind:

"Mathias...".

"Yes my friend?".

"Clemene, How is the harmony dragon?".

Mathias smirked as he then gestured for him to walk with him, However the cat-person then came to the bars. "Saint William!" He uttered "Please! Before you go! Please! Go to the red light district, Your people need to see that you still live!" He begged. This now made William curious.

"What do you mean by that, Good friend?" William asked before Mathias interrupted, "I'll tell you once we go to the red light district" he informed him "Right now, We need to kill some time". William nodded as he then nodded at the humanoids. "I'll be back, I promise you. And I'll go see the people now at the red light district too" William told them "Just please inform Tyuule about my absence".

"We will my saint, And be sure to get back at that bastered Corthal too!" The cat-person smirked.

"Definitely!" William promised as the two men headed out.

-the slums-

The red light district, Also known as Akusho, Was a lowly part of the empire. Where rapes and violence was the norm, It was where Corthal sent the children to when he found no use for them, And just allowed them to fend for themselves. However originally, It was once flourished with wealth and supplies, Thanks to William 3 years ago when it was his first act of kindness when he became 17 years old and started his journey.

Now, In Williams honor, It is run by the crime lords of Akusho. They were trying to make a living for the people in the slums in the best way that they could, However one of the crime family lords; A fourth known as the Bessara family was unfortunately terrorizing Akusho. Taking money from people, Food that was given to by Mathias, As well as weapons to protect themselves. It got so bad that the three crime lords were then outnumbered by Bessara and his "Family".

Mathias and William were walking into the district, With William given a cloak to cover his body and face, Mathias wanted to surprise everyone as well as the three crime lords. William could see the people: both humans and humanoids. This wasn't how he left Akusho 3 years ago when he made the slums actually livable.

"Mathias, What happened here? This isn't how I left Akusho..." William asked. Mathias glanced over his shoulder. "Ever Since Corthal claimed to have "Killed" you. He ordered his men to take whatever they could. Food. supplies, Weapons. It was all gone, Then three people of very powerful crime families banded together to try and honor your work and support the people the best why that they could. However Bessara and his family has now begun to terrorize Akusho and take whatever I bring them" Mathias explained.

William sighed, He didn't want Akusho to fall apart after he spent a good amount of time making it hospitable. But now after hearing what Corthal has done, He now wanted to get back at him even more. The two then stopped at a bar and entered. The bar was full of peasants, Thugs from the three different families, And whores. A cesspool of degenerates. Mathias then saw the three crime lords at a table and went over to them. William just stood at the door and looked at everyone. He knew them all, They were his friends that he had helped.

Mathias was walking over to the crime lords as he stopped in front of them: Gonzori, A full-fledged cat-person. Medusa, A medusae, And lastly was Paramount, A goblin. The three men were talking among themselves.

"Damn that Bessara!" Gonzori complained "He took a weeks worth of food! Now how are we supposed to help the others here?".

"Your guess is as good as mine" Paramount expressed with defeat " *sighs* if Saint William was here, He'd be absolutely ashamed of us".

As the two were talking, Medusa looked over at Mathias. "Oh? Mathias. What are you doing here so early" he asked "I thought that you mostly come to the district at night?".

Mathias smiled at the crime lords as he then looked over at William who was still looking around him the place. He then gestured for him to come over "I do" Mathias spoke calmly "However, I'm only here to give all of you a bit of hope".

This made the people in the bar confused, However that confusing was quickly quelled when William took down his hood, Shocking them all.

"Been a long time, You three" William told them with a smile on his face.

Everyone in the bar was absolutely silent.

"WILLIAM!" The humanoids and humans shouted in the bar as they rushed at him, Embracing him in hugs and crying in joy that he wasn't dead. However the prostitutes were the most surprised.

"William..." one of them spoke out in a louder tone. This caught William's attention. 'Wait...I know that voice...' he thought as he then turned around to see none other than Parna, A fellow bunny warrior that wanted to be his mate. Her jet black hair with it's mixture of white was still kept up, As well as her beautiful figure. She rushed over to William, Squeezing through everyone as she then held the man that she still loved so much.

"William!".

"Parna!".

The two old friends held each other tightly, Parna was on the verge of tears to see that William was alive. "Corthal said that he killed you! Oh I'm so happy to know that it wasn't true" Parna told him as she nuzzled him. "Well I'm glad that you escaped from the slaughter that day, Parna" William told her as he then stroked her back, Making the bunny girl shiver in delight. However she had to tell him about the aftermath of that incident.

"William, About that...I need to tell you something...".

"What about it, Parna?".

"Only 163 survivors had escaped from the attack, Me, Delilah, And Griine were the ones that got away. We tried our best to make it; From begging to stealing, We made it little by little to get by three years ago. Especially for Delilah...".

"Parna...Is Delilah alright...?".

"Delilah is alive and well" Parna informed "She tried so hard, We all did. Hell! We came close, Very close to selling our bodies! But Delilah refused to do the deed as she would consider it a betrayal to you! And Iris...".

This perked William's interest as he then asked who Iris was.

"Iris?".

"Iris, Delilah's 2 year old daughter...your daughter!" Parna told him. Hearing this made William's blood run cold, The good news: Delilah was alive. The second good news: he now knew he had a daughter. The bad news: he had missed three years of her life. William then stormed off, Leaving a very confused Parna.

"William! Wait! Where are you going?" Parna asked him as she saw him turn around when he reached the door. "I'm going to have a "Wonderful" talk with Corthal, Parna" William told her "I know that this is absolutely selfish of me...but...could you...-".

Parna cut him off as she then gave him a salute.

"Don't worry, I'm already on it now that I know that your alive!" Parna countered as she then ran over to grab a vase and hand it to him "Here, A gift to his prince".

William already knew why she handed him the vase, He smiled and thanked her in a nod as they then both left and went their separate ways. Mathias was done with his conversation with the crime lords as he ran out of the bar.

"William! Where are you going?" He called.

"To see Corthal and have a heart to heart TALK!".

-Corthal's Palace-

William walked into his brothers palace as he made his way to his bed chambers. He quickly made his way to the bedroom, Vase griped in his hand, And his anger both calm but raging. He made his way to the door and opened it, Only to be greeted with Corthal and one of his servants riding him to "Help him heal his wounds".

"Ahh! Prince Corthal! Ahhh! You're so amazing!" Corthal's servant yelled in her bliss of pleasure. However as she turned her she instantly stopped and covered her large breasts. "Ah! W-William!".

This made Corthal look over as he then began to smile at his former brother. "Ahh, William. So good to see you" Corthal uttered as he then looked at his servant "My dear, If you would be so kind as to leave us for a moment".

The servant happily nodded at her favorite prince as she got off of him and grabbed her upper garments and made her way out the door, However not without glaring at William as she made her way out.

"Animal lover..." She muttered under her breath for William to hear within earshot, Corthal Included. As soon as the door closed Corthal smiled.

"My my, Not a good reputation to own my former brother" Corthal spoke with smugness "So? How are you and the little rabbit? Are you both enjoying each other's company fucking like beasts?".

William was clam for the moment before he then began to smile at him.

"Corthal...I have some good news that I have to tell you" he told him, This made Corthal try his best to sit up, The swords that cut into him hurt like hell, And his wounds were all bandaged up. But he was still bleeding from time to time. Corthal was now curious as to what news that William had for him.

"Good news? Like what?" Corthal asked "Don't tell me that you and the rabbit beast have some sort of bastered offspring now?".

William then increased his grip on the vase as he then marched over to his brother, Then, Without warning to Corthal, Smashed it right into his face. The shards of the vase digging into his nose and one of the pieces cut his eye. Corthal screamer in agony.

"Gaghhhh!".

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!" William shouted at him. Corthal shook his now bleeding face as he glared his right eye at William.

"HOW DARE YOU-".

*smack*

William struck Corthal in the face with a right hook as he then grabbed him and threw him to the floor as hard as he could, Corthal's skull hit his marble floor with a hard *thud*, As he turned his body around to face his brother, Who now had a glare aimed at him.

"You ruined my life!" William yelled "I just went to the red Light District! I found out that you raided the place! Took everything from the people there! And I found out from one of my friends that my wife is alive! My wife Delilah is alive and alright!".

Hearing that William had made his presence known in the Red Light District was enough to make Corthal turn his raging glare into fearful panic.

"No! Ugh! You...must have escaped from Mathias grip!" Corthal muttered "You! Weren't supposed to go there...I'll...have-".

"I'm a father...".

"What?!".

"I found out from a friend, That my wife gave birth to a child. A daughter that she named Iris" William cried as he kept glaring at Corthal "I have a daughter...Corthal...! I..HAVE..A..DAUGHTER! And not only did I find out that you lied to all the humanoids claiming that you killed me! But you have officially ruined 3 years of me not seeing my little girl! I find out that my child is now 2 years old! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!".

Corthal then spat some of the blood that dropped down his face to his mouth, He smirked. "A daughter eh?" He remarked "Heh...she would make a fine rabbits foot and rug for my room! And your wife would be a good breed Whore for my friends and men!".

That caused William to snap and pounce on him, And unfortunately to Corthal, He couldn't fight back due to his lack of limbs. Save for one of his legs. William was now beating him in the face, Making sure that each hit was just as hard. Corthal took around 17 hits to his face and chest, As he then quickly head butted William back. William held his head to ease the vibration of pain in his skull as he then glanced to see Corthal try to head butt him again, Only for William to quickly block the attack with his forearm that he held his head with.

William then used his other hand and tightly gripped his neck and proceeded to choke him to death. This made Corthal backoff as his younger brother was now able to put his second hand around his neck and strangle him with more force. William could hear Corthal's hacking as he tried to spit in his face, But that only made William choke him even harder, His fingers digging into his neck, And his knuckles turning white as he forced more pressure.

"This...is for the bunny warriors! Whose lives that you ruined! This is for my daughter, Iris! This is for my wife Delilah!" William told him. However before he could have his rightful revenge, The door burst open as Corthal's guards came rushing in after they had heard his scream when the vase had been smacked into his face. They then pulled William off of him and brutally began to beat him as hard as they could, While Corthal's beautiful servants carefully wrapped their arms around him and carefully and gently cooed and kissed him for comfort. Corthal was breathing heavily from being choked, As well as coughing a bit before he quickly glared at William.

"Enough!" Corthal ordered "Put him back in that cell with that beast! Mark my words William! You shall pay for this incident! Because once I get my dragons blood! I'm going to personally execute you myself!" He promised as he was taken to his bed. As William was being dragged off, Mathias came into the room, He made sure to cover himself in a few bruises to make it look like his old friend had punched him and escaped.

"I saw William was carried off. What happened my friend?" Mathias asked Corthal. Corthal was being stripped by his servants, And being given new bandages, As well as a bit of oral sex as a bonus. Mathias turned his head in disgust as he then heard Corthal speak.

"Mmmm...agh! That...*sighs* animal lover had the nerve to strike me! He went to the district and now he finds out that he has a baby girl with that ungodly abomination that he calls a wife! Heh...heh, But...this is a problem".

This problem made Mathias's ears perk up a bit. "A problem? How so?" He asked. Corthal's bandages were all done, As his little servants then got into the bed with him to comfort him in his time of need. "With William exposing himself, This will cause the humanoids and some people to gain their hope again...we can't let that happen. Mathias, I need you to find his wife, And have her and his deformed daughter killed! That will send William into a permanent shock!" Corthal ended with utmost glee and happiness.

However unbeknownst to him, Mathias wouldn't go through with the plan at all, Since he had a soft spot for humanoids, As well as shared William's ideals. Mathias gave Corthal a smirk, Looking almost like he was going mad. "Breaking a man's spirit by killing his whole family! You truly are a master genius, My friend!" Mathias falsely praised.

Corthal smiled at the praise for his plan "I am, Aren't I?" He agreed "But for now, Please allow me to rest, My friend. I have much healing to do".

"Of course, My prince".

Mathias then took his leave and headed home.

-Mathias palace-

Mathias made his way into his home, A home that had been handed down from family to family. Mathias was alone, As his parents had moved away to somewhere.

However...he wasn't fully alone in his home.

"Mathias...is that you?" A male voice called for him.

"Yes Clemene It's me" Mathias answered.

That's when a tall man with black hair and upwards facing bull horns came from the large staircase. This man was Clemene, A harmony dragon that William had befriended when he did his travels 3 years ago. Clemene was very loyal to both William and Mathias, As he considered Mathias and William to be both his teacher and a bit of a father/brother figure during their time together. When he was found, He was abandoned by his parents because of his special blood, So he grew up acting brash and wild, It was also during that time that he had befriended and dated at the time Elma. But broke up with her because he had found her boring, But now that he was no longer like the young dragon like he was back then, He wanted to find her and patch things up.

Clemene had spent 3 years in the imperial empire hiding his horns and abilities from the "Weak minded" noble humans as he put them. He only respected people that showed a different light to them, Thus is why he cared for William and Mathias so much.

However when he wanted to learn about why his parents abandoned him, Mathias looked into it for him, He went to Rondel to find books on dragons with special blood or abilities. And with a bit of good luck on his side, He got what he was looking for. Clemene has found out that, From an ancient dragon book that he was a harmony dragon. The polar opposite of a chaos dragon.

While both chaos dragons and harmony dragons share the same special magic blood, They had different views on other races; Especially humans. Clemene had read that while chaos dragons harbor hatred for all races that aren't their own. Harmony dragons harbor love and protect other races besides their own. But he did find out that not all chaos and harmony dragons are pure evil or pure good, As the book had some that defected or such other means of change.

He also found out that their were also angel dragons and what really caught his attention: a god dragon. Angel dragons are known for their rather angel-like wings instead of having regular dragon wings. A god dragon however was identified by their heterochromia eyes.

Clemene couldn't really harbor a hatred for chaos dragons since he had never met one, But he was going to be careful just in case it was purely evil. When he played with his powers, He found out that he was able to send a harmony or chaos dragons body aura, Which he wanted to do on Elma to see what type she was.

Clemene came down to the final step as he happily greeted his friend "You look terrible, Mathias..." Clemene noticed "Is that bastered Prince causing you stress?".

Mathias walked over to a chair and sat in it, He sighed as he rubbed his head "Basically..." he responded "He just got beat up by William. Unfortunately, William was beaten and dragged back to his cell".

Hearing that made Clemene glare slightly, He wasn't like his younger self when it came to his emotions, He was calmer with them now than he was back then. "Is William alright?! Please tell me he is!" Clemene asked for an answer.

"He's fine, However he found out that his wife Delilah is alive and that he has a daughter. But that moron wants me to kill his wife and kid! Not only that...".

Clemene wasn't liking what he was hearing, Clemene had a negative view on Corthal as well as Zorzal. However he did have a bit of a friendly relationship with Diabo, He knew how Diabo was behind close doors, And Clemene was in fact his guidance from turning onto a more sinister person. He was actually able to stop him from scheming and told him to just try and make a name for himself since he wanted fame and acknowledgement so badly.

"Not only that?" Clemene pondered.

"Not only that, But that stupid hunt crazed idiot got what he deserved! Remember when I told you about my report on the hill?". This made Clemene smile, He always loved reading Mathias reports, They were like wonderful stories to him, And after reading his latest one, He was now just as curious about who these people from the gate were.

"How can I forget? Your current report is astonishing! But what does this have to do with that genocide fool?" Clemene asked again in question. Mathias smiled:

"The bastered got seriously injured by the mage in black, And the invaders almost, And I mean almost, Killed the fire dragon as well with little effort. Such power they had...it sent a shiver down my spin..." he told him.

Clemene was now even more interested in these invaders.

"Amazing..." he uttered "Do you think that we'll get to meet them? I mean, Once we get William and the people of the red Light District out of the empire and into a more peaceful area?" Clemene asked Mathias with his hands behind his back.

"If anything, Let's see if we can work out a peaceful relationship with them. That way we can then get both William and the people and humanoids from the slums out of this god forsaken place..." Mathias sighed in frustration at all of this. Clemene noticed quickly and was a bit worried.

"I'll get you some Ice for your head, As well as some food" Clemene offered "You need it".

"Thank you, Clemene. Oh, William asked how you were doing".

Clemene sighed happily at him "I'm doing fine" he told Mathias "I just hope that he becomes free once again".

-Imperial dungeon-

William was dragged to his cell as the guards then opened the door and threw him in, This made Tyuule jump from her bed and comfort him.

"William!" Tyuule helped him to the bed as she then carefully brushed his long black hair to the side, Tyuule liked his longer haircut, For to her it suited him best. However the guards just snorted at the scene.

"Disgusting..." one of them said before they were about to close the cell, Another guard came over "Wait! I have another one to put in there!" The young man said as he made his way to the cell and put a new face in there. Said person was Parna.

The guards didn't even bother to protest against it, They just locked the cell door as William leaned up to see Parna. "Parna, Good to see you" William muttered a bit. Parna just smiled, A smile that she hadn't shown in a long time. "William!" Parna cried as she quickly got up and held onto him lovingly. The two guards were appalled by this, But the younger guard actually found it heartwarming, But he kept it to himself. They left until the younger guard walked back to the cell.

"I'll try to sneak you in some good food, Prince William" He hushed as he rushed back to the other guards. William smiled that he at least had some people of nobility that still cared, But in actuality only Pina was his true concern. He carefully wrapped his arms around both Tyuule and Parna, Keeping them warm.

Parna was happy that her queen wasn't killed nor William.

"I'm so glad to see you again, Tyuule!" Parna expressed.

"Likewise, Parna" Tyuule told her "But...why did you get arrested?".

"It was William's idea!" She told "He wanted me to get arrested so that I wouldn't have to...go through any sort of undesirable situations in the slums...". Tyuule then looked over at William who gave out a sigh of "Sorry". Tyuule smirked as she held him.

"That was a dumb move on your end" Tyuule teased him.

"And selfish too..." William added "I'm sorry for making you give up your freedom, Parna...".

However Parna shook her head. "You think I was free?! I hated that I hate to live my life stealing and begging! We came so close...but I'm glad that we didn't do it...it would have been to horrible. But...there was a reason as to why Griine and I couldn't do it...".

"Why is that?" William and Tyuule asked her. Just then Parna then placed her head onto William's chest, Her hands moving to his shoulders.

"Because...Griine and I love you...that's why".

A/n: shit ending, I apologize. Now next chapter is with our nerds and military. So that will be better. See ya!
