I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 211: HER UNIQUE HAIR: PART 1

Evelyn began to act like one that was just passing by. And soon the mercenaries and the adventurers began to tell stories about what they heard.

"Did you hear? The pope and the twelve councils were seen at the slum alley"

"You mean the slum that was beside the tall wall of the Temple?"

"That's right they saw them sneaking around there."

"Sneaking around you say it's more like their fleeing"

At the word of one man and all eyes were focused on him as he said something that was shocking.

"Fleeing? What do you mean? Did you know something?"

The man told them to gather around telling them that what he was about to say was top secret.

Like a whisper, he began to open his mouth.

"One of the priests told me that some unknown people started to attack the Temple and the Pope and the rest of the twelve council fled because of how dangerous the attackers were."

The people that were gathered in the presence of the man who told them that shocking information exclaimed at what he just dropped on them.

"Is that true?"

"That's what the priest said and you know how a few days ago they said that they were destroying one of the buildings to build a new one?"

"Yes! One of the holy knights said that"

"That's actually false that time it was the attackers who destroyed the Temple's sacred structure."

Evelyn who just placed her cup down scoffed at what she heard.

'There's nothing wrong with what he said besides sooner or later these people will know what the temple has done to their subjects.'

Evelyn thought.

After a while, a man entered the tavern. His presence alone made everyone flinch at his every step.

"Who's this man?"

"I don't know do you think I know all the faces of the people in the capital?"

Step Step Step

His destination stopped at the corner of the store.

Seeing a pair of shoes beside her table, Evelyn looked up and was shocked at what she saw.

"What are you doing here?"

"I smell a familiar scent"

Evelyn was more shocked at his answer.

'Do I stink?' She thought.

"Let's go, Eve"

Sighing Evelyn couldn't help but stop investigating and come with him.

"What are you doing here, Gab?"

When Evelyn said that, the eyes that were still glued to Gab's back were more visible and were alternately looking at her too so she decided to get the hell out of the tavern because gaining more attention than this is not good for them.

"Let's talk inside"

There was a carriage waiting for them outside that Evelyn became confused at how Gab can "smell" her from there.

But for now, she hopped on the carriage together with Gab.

"It's been awhile, Eve"

Gab was smiling at her. His red hair that compliments his golden eyes smiles like the half moon as he greets Evelyn.

"That's right it's been awhile, Gab"

"You already know that your father, Duke Keene, got injured because of Ishid, right?"

Evelyn took off her hood and her silver blue hair that had black tips was shown.

"I know that's why I'm going to the palace after I gathered some rumors that are circulating in the capital-"

"It's fascinating to always see your hair"

Gab moves forward and picks some of Evelyn's hair locks.

It made her startled but soon gained her composure again.

"I know it's fascinating because of the combination of the color."

"You know that it's a blessing from Goddess Lalulah, right?"

Gab slowly moved her locks to his lips that Evelyn just looked at the intense stare of Gab that was looking at her.

"I know"

Gab smiled at her and began to gripped the hair a little more tightly that Evelyn flinched unconsciously.

"Gab-"

"Do you also know where the origin of the black hair came from?"

Gulp!

Evelyn voluntarily gulped down. She doesn't know why but the atmosphere becomes heavy.

"What are you talking about, Gab?"

Suddenly, Gab opened his mouth while his eyes were glued to her hair and tugging it that made Evelyn flinched again.

"This hair this darkness Do you know that the people in ancient times had this?"

Gab was grabbing and tugging it more tightly so that Evelyn couldn't help but snatch his hand.

"Gab stop! What the hell do you think you're doing right now?"

At her exploded anger, Gab smiled while looking at her and still continued his story.

"This black hair symbolizes the royalty in your blood."

Evelyn has formed lines in her forehead as she was thinking about the nonsense Gab was talking about.

Of course, she has the blood of royalty. Her mother, the deceased duchess of Emsworth, Lady Monica, came from the royalty of the Kingdom of Perspiru.

"Yes of course, I have royal blood. My mother came from the royal family of the Kingdom of Perspiru."

His lips formed an arch but Evelyn had this thought that there was something else going on. Something was amiss with Gab's behavior.

"Oh right your mother. Princess Monica is also the magic's tower greatest magician."

The smile that was full of fluffiness that she knew that Gab always made her see was nowhere to be found.

Gab smiled so sinister that Evelyn felt shivers in her nape.

Soon, Gab laughed like a maniac.

"You don't really know, Eve you have a blood of the demon race."

Meanwhile, there was a meeting that was being held in the palace. The room was buzzing with the nervous nobles.

It's actually the senate of the Levingstone Kingdom. They are now having an emergency meeting with the now acting leader of the kingdom, the Crown Prince.

Smiling like an angel that descended from above, Crown Prince Edickart were looking at the old nobles with his emerald hawk eyes.

It was so cold that the smile he was giving was making them feel like it was the last time that they would see the light of the day.

"Ummm your highness. Can we know the agenda of this abrupt meeting?"

"Why don't you tell me Count Esteban"

As if the hunter was toying with its prey, the whole room knew that Crown Prince Edickart is a cunning man that would appear as benevolent but was full of schemes.

"You see there was something that I can't help but think about how a man can deceive a lot of people."

All of them unconsciously gulp a lump on their throat.

Because they also receive the report about a man who was always beside the second Prince to be an enemy behind the shadows.

The Crown Prince who has evidence of what the senate has done in the kingdom as the reign of King Charles ended was distributed to them.

"Gasp!"

"What is this?!"

"This.! It can't be"

They gripped the folder tighter while they're body was shaking and their face devoid colors.

It was enough for them to be killed in the guillotine with three generations accompanying them.

It was so severe how corrupted they are that the Crown Prince was astounded at how brazen these old fossils could think that they deserve the honorable titles of being a noble.

So, Edickart made a compromise.

"If you could give me the information of this man called Ishid Chrox Barrett then I could think about giving you a lighter punishment."

"But your highness you're an acting king but now the crowned king. This files mean nothing because we're innocent"

"Th-that's right!"

"We don't know anything about what is this thing you're giving us."

"That's right, your highness! This is defamation!"

Edickart laughed so hard after he heard the old nobles that were obviously at the side of the second prince.

"Let me give you old fossils advice from this young Prince wisdom"

Their brows and lips twitch as they heard the Crown Prince insult them straight to their face.

"You think you can still act all high and mighty in this kingdom?"

All eyes were fixated on the Crown Prince as he began to address them.

"Once I give a verdict no one can escape the punishment. The citizens will know about what the King did to his citizens and they will demand compensation."

Edickart smiled like a cunning old fox.

"Then what do you think will quell they're anger? Of course~ the blood of the nobles who took part in the experimentation."

One of the nobles stood up.

Thud!

"You can't do this, Crown Prince! We have been a loyal subject to the royal family!"

"And that loyalty clouded you to think straight? Is that it?"

"That-"

"Don't joke with me senators All I need is information about what Ishid has done. I know you knew him so stop thinking that you can act like you don't know anything"

"We-"

"I can give you a lighter punishment if you give me the information about him I don't have time to work on it myself and I know full well that you guys are still useful."

"What kind of light punishment would you give us?"

Edickart smiled and pointed at the door.

All of them looked at it and the knights entered. In the center was a man with a nice build. The red hair and his golden eyes were the distinct features on his face.

"General Gab here will escort you to the tower prison located at the border of the bahalkii kingdom and levingstone"

Thud!

"Your highness!!"

"You can't do this!"

"This is absurd, your highness!"

General Gab walked across the meeting room and was stationed at the back of the Crown Prince.

"You don't have any choice it's either your whole family with three generations down died at the plaza and become the example for the nobles or be in prison in the Tower for your whole life while your family is safe"

Then Edickart cunningly smiled.

"... you esteemed senators can make the choice for yourselves."

Crown Prince Edickart left them devastated while Gab followed him.

"What's the situation with the Duke?"

"He's still unconscious"

When Gab and Edickart were busy discussing the Duke Keene's health as well as Duke Cabel not so far away from the palace a loud explosion happened.

Boom! Bang!

"What is happening?"

Gab squinted his eyes, his senses as a beast were more accurate and keen so it was appropriate for him to find out the matter.

He looks through the window and can see that smoke is beginning to arise.

It came from the capital. More specifically, the borderline of the entrance to the Palace.

"There seems to be an attack, your highness!"

"Dispatch the royal guards and make sure to guard the meeting room! Don't let anyone in that room leave!"

"Yes, your highness."

"I'll also take a look"

"Alright General Gab I'll contact Evelyn just in case"

"Yes do that."

Gab threw himself into the window without a doubt. The knights who saw it were scared at his stunt because he jumped through the fourth floor of the palace.

But as they saw him run like nothing was amiss they began to applaud his tremendous power.
