Chapter 999: Dots in the sky (1)
"Where's that damn maid!" A voice suddenly roared out through the empty room. After this voice roared out, there was a woman in a maid dress that came forward.
When she came forward, she had a fearful look on her face. However, she still respectfully went over to the side of the one who called for her and said, "Your majesty, do you have any commands?"
The one she called 'your majesty' looked at her and said, "You are late."
The maid trembled the moment that she heard this and she lowered her head, but she didn't dare say anything.
The king just looked at her for a bit before saying, "Bring in the next one, I'm tired of this one already. Go and arrange for this one to be sent out. It will be dealt with the same way as usual."
The maid trembled when she heard this, but she quickly said with a nod, "Yes, your majesty." The king that said this didn't seem to care at all about her reaction as he put on his clothes and started walking out of the room. But as he passed by her, his eyes suddenly turned to look at her body which made the maid tremble in fear.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the end, he just turned away without saying a single thing as if his attention was taken by something else.
The maid let out an internal sigh of relief as she slowly turned to look into the bedroom that the king had come out of.
There was red that covered the bedroom.
This was the red that could only come from blood.
At the same time, the way that the blood was scattered through the room was anything but normal. It was as if the blood had been thrown all over the room at an angle, like something had flicked it at that angle.
There were also several tools that were placed on the wall that were dripping with blood. As for where this blood came from...
There was a very ugly scene that was on the bed.
There was a figure that was lying on the bed, but to call it a human was a bit too much at this point.
It had already been abused to the point where there wasn't a single trace of intact flesh on this 'person'. The eyes that could still be seen were completely dim as if they were just waiting for death.
The maid felt pity for this person, but that was the only thing that she felt.
After all, she knew that if she were to do anything else, it would be her who would be on the bed next...
The only thing that she could do was clean the room and prepare the next sacrifice. As well as praying that the next one chosen wouldn't be her...
After the king left the bedroom, the first thing that he did was head to the throne room. There was no care in his actions, it was as if he was just doing it because he had to do it.
He didn't even bother changing out of the clothes that he had been in and when he walked into the throne room, he gave a yawn without even bothering covering his mouth.
He did all of this even though there were ministers and generals that were waiting for him to hold their morning court meeting.
The ministers and generals weren't surprised to see the king acting this way since this was how he had always acted.
In fact, many of them even wanted to see him act this way since it was easy for them to manipulate him if he was like this.
This was just how their Darius Kingdom was.
The king had only taken the throne because the violent succession war had wiped out the rest of the candidates. The subjects had gone too far and had pushed all of the other viable
candidates to their death, which only left their current king to take over.
The current king wasn't even a member of the royal family to begin with.
He was a forgotten member of a branch family that had engaged in his own vices in his territory, which was why he still engaged in these vices after becoming the king.
When he sat down on the throne, the king looked at the ministers and generals before waving his hand to say, "Discuss it amongst yourselves."
As soon as he said this, he leaned back on his throne and even seemed like he was going to take a nap.
None of the ministers and generals minded this since this was how it always was.
The ministers and generals would discuss matters between themselves while the king just sat there and watched. The king didn't really have any power, but he was a figurehead that kept them from ripping each other apart.
He was the figurehead that kept the semblance of society in the Darius Kingdom.
It didn't take long before the ministers and generals started discussing the important matters of the Darius Kingdom amongst themselves.
The king seemed like he was completely bored until one topic was brought up.
The monster waves.
"There are several parts of the kingdom that are currently suffering from the monster waves. It seems that at this rate, we'll lose at least 50% of the population before we can subdue them." One of the ministers reported.
All of the others revealed heavy looks when they heard this.
Losing half their population would be a disastrous blow to the Darius Kingdom, but they didn't have any solutions to solve this problem.
It wasn't that they didn't have the soldiers to deal with them, it was just that they didn't want to risk their own soldiers for this matter.
These soldiers were the power that they used to maintain their positions, so they didn't want to lose them.
As the room fell into a silence, the king suddenly said, "Do something about this, I don't want to lose my toys!"
