Chapter 58 [Bonus ]The Truth
One, two, three, four, five.... Hmm!! If I keep on counting like that, why don't I just build a whole harem!!
No.
I mentally shook my head at such thoughts.
It would take time. For now, I have to work on my strength and filter out those like knight Camille who hid and disguised their venomous fangs while standing beside me.
Doing this all won't be easy however I have to start from somewhere first.
"No, I have no reason to mock you. How could I mock a Knight that is currently mortified and horrified by the world around her, knowing that she would never be able to pick up a sword again and that her whole life of training didn't matter... A Guardian Knight who has failed to fulfil her duties -A traitor…."
I grabbed her chin with my fingers as she stubbornly tried to shake it off, yet I persisted until she became still.
"...A woman who knows that her world is about to end without anything meaningful being left behind. You see, there is nothing worth mocking about you".
"Tchhh!!" She sneered back at my words with disapproval and scorn written clearly on her face as her fake mask broke away and revealed her true intentions and emotions.
Hate!!
Soul-wrenching hate!!!
And if I didn't know any better, I would have said that she wanted to kill me off with her emotions since every inch and ounce of it was directed at me.
"I will only ask you one question, so answer me truthfully. Who sent you?" I said as my gaze hardened, latching onto her face as I pinched her cheeks in between my hands tightly.
Even though I was expecting the silence, I still found it annoying.
"You don't want to talk?"
"... Why would …..I? Revealing any secrets now would be useless and stupid. I know that I am going to die nonetheless, just go ahead and end it!!!" She said, screaming softly at my face as she attempted to draw it closer to mine.
However, my hands kept her in place, and together with the blade of Captain Crimson eye cutting through her skin like a vegetable with every movement she made, made her comport herself as she gritted her teeth in anger while frequently biting the edges of her lip in pain.
'No, you could die without any more pain, so it isn't foolish if yo…."
She shook her head, interrupting me before I could finish my sentence "You are wasting your time. Look I don't know how you got back….".
However, before she could finish hers, I quickly tightened my hand firmly with enough force to cut off whatever she was going to say.
Sighing as I looked at Captain Crimson eye stylishly while shaking my head helplessly, I breathed out tirelessly.
Hopefully, he didn't hear that, or else everything would have been over if he did.
"Ahem!!…. If she doesn't want to talk, I believe that there are other ways to make her talk" Captain Crimson eye suddenly spoke attracting my attention.
"And how do we do that?" I replied.
He raised a brow at me "Don't you know about slave sealing encryption that's used on the imperial personal guards or servants in other to avoid any avertable and unforeseen circumstance like this one here".
My eyes almost twitched as I set my gaze back at Knight Camille. 'Slave sealing encryption!!'.
Let me guess, it makes her obey all my orders without giving her a chance to refuse!
There was no way I knew that such a thing even existed which was understandable considering my circumstances. And also, the only person who could have told me about such a thing was the very person that's been sent to kill me, so why would she even inform me of it?
Once again, I was irritated that I didn't inherit the former Prince Wyatt's memories, if not we wouldn't be here in this situation.
With such a thing at my disposal, I would have commanded her to take care of the Tiger whale and would have been having some private personal time on my bed.
What!? After getting to know who I am, you seriously can't be doubting the thoughts and choices of a physical starved and mentally perverse man by now, can you?
However, since it has ready gotten to this point, there was no turning back from here.
"I thought you would know more about it since this secret is mostly known among you and the royal imperial members" Captain Crimson eye responded, narrowing his eyes at me.
Shaking my head slowly in disagreement with a faked regret in my eyes, I finally thought of a good excuse to give him.
"Unfortunately, I don't remember such a thing. You see, a few days ago, I lost my memories, with nothing left but fragments of my disconnected past that I am still trying to piece together. I think that was why she decided to take advantage of me and plot my death since I couldn't remember anything important, most especially, the 'slave sealing encryption".
However, I am wondering why the former Prince Wyatt didn't use it considering all the things that Mad john had told me. Was he too scared of the woman in front of me or was he also not knowledgeable about such a thing?
No that can't be possible..... Sigh!! Well, no matter my thoughts, I can't find out the right answers now since he is long gone carrying whatever useful piece of consequential information with him.
Captain Crimson eye mouth opened as though he wanted to reply. His lips paused, closing back his mouth as he displayed a thoughtful expression on his face
"I see, that makes sense" He said, looking at me with a much sharper gaze than before.
Somehow I felt like I have just entered a chaotic war front after just leaving how to shoot with a new model nerf gun.
"So it's like that, no wonder you changed. Yet, this change, it's too drastic compared to t…."
I snapped my head back towards her as I interrupted her words while I stared at the hints of understanding in her eyes.
