Being Cruel Empress
43. Sudden Attack

Ellena and Winter say goodbye. Ellena asked her father to let her know if a reply from her uncle came. Though every day they met for two weeks in a row, even occasionally Ellena and winter stay because of tired, if you have to go back and forth from the palace to the Grand Duke castle every day.

Ellena looked at the father, "Why, I don't think I want to go back. However, yesterday I was staying and tomorrow I have a review. If there were no events tomorrow, I'd stay again tonight" said Ellena.

"What's wrong? wanna stay the night? We can come back early in the morning" Winter said.

"can't. Tomorrow morning I can't be late to review the place to be used for the big meeting" Ellena said.

"Right as well, the big meeting is only a week away. I forgot to keep focusing on training" Winter said.

"What's wrong? Do you need anything?" erick asked to see the Son and his son-in-law whispering.

"Nothing, Dad. All right, we'll go first. See you around, Dad. Uncle also ... " said Ellena greeting Erick's friend.

"Father-in-law, I'm saying goodbye" Winter said.

Erick smiled, "Yes, Your Majesty. Be careful on the road" Erick said.

Ellena and Winter walk out of the castle. In front was already a horse carriage symbolizing the Empire waiting with two horse chariots. One coachman went down to open the door, Winter let Ellena enter first, and then he followed up into the train. Not long after the horse-drawn carriage walked out of the Grand Duke's castle.

Her night. When Erick and his friend had dinner together, suddenly the housekeeper came in to see Erick, the man's servant immediately approached and whispered. Erick was surprised, by what the waiter said.

"Where is he?" erick said frowning.

"He was in .. "the servant's words came to a halt when suddenly someone wearing a robe and hooded entered the dining room.

"I'm here" said someone.

"Hey, who are you? Don't you have any manners!" erick's friend jolts at the sight of an uninvited guest.

"Why ... visiting old friends also need some courtesy, Erick?" said someone opening the headscarf.

Erick widened his eyes, "Sebastian .. "Gunam Erick was shocked.

"You surprised? not welcoming me to sit?" ask Sebastian.

"Should it? what are you coming to these nights for?" ask Erick.

"You haven't changed, sir. Ah, now that you're not Young Master, do Great Master, yes. Do I also have to call you Master Grand Duke?" sebastian said as if to mock Erick.

"Don't make me ask you twice, Sebastian. Tell me what you want?" erick asked, still be patient with Sebastian.

"Good, fine. I'll tell you my purpose for coming. I want to take you with me. Come on, let's work together, Mr. Grand Duke." take Sebastian in.

Erick smiled, "Cooperate for what? do you think I'll do it? I have no interest in dealing with rebels. Go away, I'll assume you never came" Erick said.

Sebastian smiled, "That's it, huh? Though I came well, but you did not accept me with pleasure apparently. All right, I have no choice but to flatten this castle, right? Hahaha .. " said Sebastian.

"Don't you go crazy!" jolt Erick was angry.

Sebastian looked at Erick and smiled broadly, "It's been the longest, buddy" Sebastian said.

Not long ago there was a scream-jewel sound followed by other voices. And some of the castle has been destroyed. Sebastian laughed at the chaotic situation. Suddenly Erick's friend attacks Sebastian.

Sebastian's friend ignored Erick screaming. Since Sebastian was a magician, of course he could instantly conduct long-range attacks. And Sebastian immediately took the life of Erick's friend.

"No ... Elliott! No. " cried Erick running towards his friend who was sprawled dead.

Sebastian was happy, he could see Erick's sad face after all this time. That's the face Sebastian misses.

"You .. You repeat the same mistake, Sebastian. The gods will punish you!" erick was angry.

Sebastian walked up to Erick, "What did you say? Will the gods be angry? you think I care about that?" sebastian whispered.

"God!" jolt Erick.

Seeing Erick's anger, Sebastian was delighted. He wants to destroy everything Erick has. Sebastian orders his men to flatten the castle and kill everyone. Erick who did not accept was forced to fight Sebastian. Unfortunately, he can only perform ordinary magic because the mana is destroyed.

"Hahahaha .. Are you kidding? you want to attack me with the magic the kids used to use? Ckckck .. You're so pathetic, man. You can't even boast of being the greatest witch anymore" Sebastian said.

"Close your rotten mouth. I don't care, what do you want me to say. I am weak, but I still have my pride. I'm not a thief like you." said Erick.

Sebastian is losing his patience. After smiling, it suddenly attacked Erick with its magic. Erick slammed into the floor. Sebastian approaches Erick who is slumped on the floor, strangling Erick in the neck.

"The longer, the more boring you are, yeah. Too bad, I can't kill you right away. Because I had to lure your daughter to come save you. Once I get your daughter, I'll kill you without pain" Sebastian said.

Erick widens his eyes, "Ja .. don't touch my daughter, si .. alan!" mumbling Erick.

Sebastian lifts Erick up and throws Erick against the wall. He was annoyed by Erick. Sebastian still saw Erick move, he then stepped on Erick's back until Erick vomited blood.

"You're still tough, Erick. I'm glad you're not weak and you're dead. Hahaha .. " said Sebastian.

Sebastian's getting stronger on Erick. Makes Erick unable to breathe. Erick continued to hold on, in his mind thinking only of Ellena. Erick doesn't want anything bad to happen to his beloved daughter.

"Dance ... Ellena .. "call Erick in his heart.

Unable to survive, Erick fainted. Sebastian orders his men to take Erick to his horse-drawn carriage and clean up all the bodies. Sebastian also brought all the bodies from the castle to his research site. He wanted to make the corpses an undead that he would later use to attack the empire. Sebastian's corpse will not be easily killed with a gun. The living dead will come back to life after death. It would be completely dead, if its body was destroyed. The only one who knows the truth is Ellena, because Ellena has destroyed the undead created by Sebastian. And that's why Sebastian was amazed at the figure of Ellena. Sebastian and his men left the castle.

Ellena, who was asleep, suddenly woke up. Ellena had a bad dream. His face was instantly pale, and sweat was pouring out. Ellena has never had a nightmare as long as she's back in time. She was terrified and panicked and called Janette. But his call had no answer

"Jane ... Are you outside? Janette .. "call Ellena.

Ellena frowned, "where is she? is he gone?" ellena muttered trembling.

Ellena got out of bed. He walked out of the room. He saw no one in his palace, and it frightened him even more. He recalled his nightmare, the dream in which Winter drew a sword towards him.

"No! it was just a dream. No!" ellena muttered.

Suddenly Winter appears and Winter's appearance surprises Ellena. To the extent that Ellena was shouting because of keget.

"A-what's up? it's me, your husband, Winter" Winter said.

Seeing the coming Winter, Ellena immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Her legs went limp and Ellena almost fell down. Luckily Winter caught Ellena's body and carried Ellena back to the room.
