A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 203: Tapping

[I tapped close to Minya. After sending you off, he met called an emergency meeting with his twelve knights. He ordered them to get rid of every information related to ex-princess. He specifically ordered them to do it discreetly. In the broad daylight, a massacre happened. Each person who was aware of the ex-princess existence was killed mercilessly. I cannot believe he can opt for such cruel methods for something so insignificant. Then again. After hearing your side of the story, it may be not so insignificant as I was thinking.]

Noworry scoffed. [He sure is not underestimating you]

Severus just felt cold.

[After they killed everyone, Minya ordered to arrange for a ritual. And it going to be a big-scale ritual. I saw the maniac smile on his face. That expression, it just creeps me out. No matter how much I try to shake it off, I cannot let go of that feeling.]

Severus could relate. 

"He probably is trying to resurrect his dead sister."

Noworry gasped.

[Isn't it taboo?]

Severus gave Noworry a blank look." Does it matter?"

Well yeah.

[Still, the world revolves around the equivalent exchange. For life, heaven needs a life. Sacrifice must be given. But it does not make sense. Minya probably is not going to sacrifice himself or his twelve knights. Moon cannot be sacrificed since she does not fall in the category of living.] The bird stopped talking because he did not want to jinx it by saying.

It really does not matter. 

The truth was that Severus would be the one who will be the sacrificial lamb.

[I bet they got the wind of you being the son of Hades that is the reason he treated us so good. I guess he was just fattening up the goat before sacrificing it.]

"Maybe, but I saw him in her memories" Severus whispered.

Noworry frowned. [Saw someone? Who?]

Severus gulped. "The one who we are searching for. He was there in her dreams. He told Minya that in the next 10 years, a man would come to Znye kingdom who will turn the fate of this kingdom. The man of prophecy would be the one who will be capable enough to resurrect his sister back to life."

Noworry was speechless. 

If he hated anything to his core, then it was people who were drenched in hypocrisy and Minya was among those people. He first sacrificed his blind sister to gain powers and now he wanted to bring her back to life. 

If only he cared so much, then he should not have sacrificed her in the first place. 

"When is the ritual going to start?"

[After 3 days when it will be a full moon.]

Under the full moon, glory will bask on us

At the midnight, a fairy will be reborn.

Descending from heaven to mortal world

All hail in her birth

Let rejoice and happiness be spread everywhere.

".."

"What is this?" 

[ The words were spoken by Minya]

"They sure have a knack to make things cringy af."

[ I agree]

HA!

Severus yawned with his hand stretched in the air. Slowly he slipped into his bed.

"Say Noworry what will happen to me tomorrow?" 

Noworry did not know how to answer. Was this an intellectual question of humans?

Alas!

He sure has a lot to learn about human behavior. He used his bird brain and came up with an answer. [ You will be questioned by Minya. Later you would be questioned by Moon too. They both will be asking you about your decision. Surely tomorrow will be a rough day for you however, you will not be killed certainly. After all you are their sacrificial lamb.]

Noworry grinned.

"."

Severus did not know what was so good about it. 

"What do you say Noworry? Will we be able to win against them? Those twelve knights are insanely powerful. It would not be a lie if I say that each of them is par at Maverick. You yourself know how difficult it was for me to beat Maverick up. If not for his own suicide, I am not sure if I was powerful enough to defeat him. Then there is that cunning spirit. I do not have the slightest of idea what she is or about her strength.  At last, we have Minya, the crown prince of Znye kingdom. Even if we discuss the best-case scenario, let us suppose I was lucky enough to beat twelve knights and banded the spirit with my spell, can I still face Minya after such an exhausting fight? Don't I am overestimating myself? He asked in doubt.

Noworry turned grim. Every single word said by Severus was true. Not to forget there was that snake too. Worst comes to worst, he will fight heads on with the snake but what about Severus. Once a fight break, everyone will surrender Severus. What will they do at that time? No matter from which angle they try analyzing the situation, they only got the picture of their defeat, 

Noworry was clueless.

They both went quiet.

Severus never hoped to get any answers from Noworry but now, when even the chirpiest worry turned silent, he understood the gravity. They both landed in a dark pit. The only thing they could do right now to try to climb upwards but the darkness surrounding them was blocking their efforts. Before climbing they first need to get rid of darkness inside the pit.

Since it was an exhausting day Severus finally gave in and slept. Noworry heard shallow but continuous breathing beside his bed. 

[Sleep Severus. You need rest more than anyone else] With this said he too slipped in his own bed and slept without any worry. 

True to his name.

Sleep was said to be a luxury. Not everyone can afford it. Despite being dead tired, Severus woke up early in the morning. How can anyone afford to have a good sleep when his life was in danger. Severus was aware about his limitations and nothing haunted him more than his own limitations.

His spells were not enough.

The dawn had yet to break while Severus was already. He flipped his backpack and tightened its ropes. Quickly he checked it once for his belongings. After enduring everything, he slapped Noworry but. 

"Wakey wakey birdie"

[The fudge. Who has a death wish?]

"."

"Wake up"

[I do not want to]
