CHAPTER 51
"Even if I lose Era, I would still leave a beacon of hope." As soon as he said that, he looked in the direction behind the curtains. "Morgan!"
"Your majesty." A young boy came out from the door behind the curtain and bowed befpre Elrad.
"Take her away, now."
Emerald looked at the boy in question and then back at Elrad. She could see the pain etched deep in his iris. She knew this was hard for him as well. Even though she knew it was te best and right thing to do, she found it hard to let go.
Finding the courage left in her, Emerald held her daughter close, hugging her for the very last time.
"Eleora, darling."
"Yes, mother."
"I love you and your father loves you too."
"Mum, I am scared."
"I know, but remember, I am here with you in your heart and so is your father. You need to go see big sister Era now. Father and I would catch up. Go with Morgan and respect him, okay?"
Eleora nodded her reply but somehow she felt this was not just a normal goodbye but this was the end. "Mother."
"My light, please. Have courage and be strong. I love you." Emerald wiped her daughter's tears and stood up, before moving her towards the young lad waiting for her.
"Mother, father, stay with me, please," Eleora pleaded once more.
Elrad let out a deep breath and managed to respond to her. "Go on dear. We love you."
With tears in her eyes, she did as she was told and walked up to Morgan. Just as their hands touched, Elrad and Emerald turned around while holding each other's hands for support.
Unlike her husband, Emerald looked down as her eyes shut close. The piercing scream from the passageway nearby was almost deafening but there was nothing they could do to help.
Their armies were outnumbered and they, unprepared for battle. It was a situation of the strong preying on the weak.
"HELP!"
She shuddered with each passing second, not in fear of her demise but the unimaginable horrors her people faced.
Whereas the once austere king looked at the opened door of the courtroom suspecting that a soldier would approach them any moment to slay their bodies, or perhaps the intruder would suggest a gruesome death for the royal family.
Just as that thought crossed his mind, the heavy boots of the soldier finally stopped and came face to face with them.
"You."
"Happy to see me? Do not worry, I would make sure your death are painless and long."
"Father!"
Both Emerald and Elrad turned around to see who shouted, only for their eyes to lock with the terrified ones of their daughter as her screams became louder.
"Eleora." Emerald stared at her in shock. She was not supposed to see this. What was going on?
She looked back up when she heard the sound of boot approach from where Eleora stood and saw a soldier with blood stained sword and the head of someone in his hand.
"Oh my… Morgan!"
That had already explained what was wrong. The next thing they knew, he stepped forward, moving towards Eleora.
Emerald forgot about everything and quickly rushed to shield her daughter from the sword about to reign down on her, turning her back on her attacker and hugging her daughter so close to herself.
SWOOSH!
Elrad watched in shock and horror as the sword came slashing down on his wife's back. "Emerald."
She coughed, and blood sprayed on the white tiled floor but she did not let go. Not satisfied, the soldier raised his sword again. This time around, Elrad's senses returned.
Immediately, he drew his sword and rushed in front of his wife, protecting her from another attack and killing the soldier in one swift move.
"Impressive. Let us see just how far you can go," Caspian roared and lunged for Elrad. Taking the initiative, he pushed Emerald away and went head on with Caspian, fighting with all he got.
Taking this opportunity, Emerald, moved Eleora to the side while Caspian was not looking and opened a secret small door.
"Go in, my love. It would lead you to my chambers. Find Emma and she would help you. No matter what, keep running until you find Era. I love you."
"Mum, you are bleeding," Eleora stated with red eyes and puffy cheeks as more tears streamed down her face.
"I am fine. Just be strong and do not be frightened. Do not make noise."
Without another word, she pecked her daughter on the forehead and pushed her lightly inside then she closed the small wall and quickly left there.
No sooner had she come out and she was trying to escape somewhere far from where she kept her daughter, that she head a voice.
"Going somewhere?" Emerald looked up in shock and tried to run away. Unfortunately she was too weak and the econd she turned, she felt the coldness of the steel go through her from behind.
"El…" she paused and coughed as more blood poured out of her mouth and her injury on her stomach.
"I don't think so." He pulled out his sword sharply and slashed at her back again.
Elrad who had heard is wife call on him, turned around, only to witness the wicked way in which she was killed.
THUD!
That was all he saw and he watched as her body fell to the floor, in cold blood. "Emerald! No!"
SWOOSH!
Taking that distraction as an advantage, Caspian swung into action and stabbed him at his side. Quickly, he managed to turn around and swung his sword at Caspian.
Unfortunately, his sword only grazed the forearm of his enemy before Caspian drew out his sword and moved away in time.
In anger, Elrad took a step forward only for him to pause and cough out blood. He looked down quickly at his side and saw a black blood. It was then his mind registered that he was…
'Poison.'
He looked back up but it was already too late.
SWOOSH!
Caspian sung his sword again and this time, went for his neck.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
