Bloody Eyes
|Bab 36|

Luana remained silent, agitated, waiting. And to his surprise, everyone cheered, supported, raised a glass. Moon smile.

— Thank you — she thanked and bowed, quickly calmed down, everyone looked surprised. “You have my respect. Know this.

Turning to Elmer, the warm smile on his face turned into scorn and scorn.

— Well, Elmer..the time you've been waiting for has arrived. I'll show you what I did with your daughter so you can draw your own conclusions.” Lua unsheathed her sword, Aurora jumped to her feet.

"I won't let you do that to me anymore!" - Aurora said angrily and Luana laughed.

"And who said it would be with you?" I've seen you decline over the centuries with the Eclipse killing you bit by bit, I don't need anything more from you. Your father would have gotten away with it, but he decided to challenge me too. Now who will be punished is he and not you.

"Don't you dare touch my father or I will destroy you!" he shouted, shook the chain and then shouted in pain.

— Paisley — Luana said while looking at a dimly lit corner near the door, where there was a woman and a child: Paisley and Max.

The two come closer and Daniela calls Max with her finger. The boy came up to her, standing beside her hand in hand.

"Mom" he bowed as he approached.

"Can you do a tranquilizing spell for me now?"

- Yes Ma'am.

— Resume — Luana demonstrates Aurora.

"Don't you dare curse me, you—" Aurora knelt down, pressing the sign.

Paisley approached him and touched his head. He tried to scream but nothing came out of his mouth. His eyes were filled with tears, on his face a look of despair took over.

“You can cancel it once I pull out the sword.” Paisley nodded, standing beside Aurora. “I don't think from now on we'll be disturbed, Elmer.

Luana drew her sword and smiled.

— If you do anything to me, I swear I'll kill you, you're out of balance! Elmer shouted, Luana laughed and shook her head.

“It's a shame you won't be able to rebel. Watching the rebellion where you run it, it will be fun. Unless you want to die as soon as that thought comes to your mind. It would be suicide.

- You…

Before Elmer could say anything more, the chain disappeared and Luana thrust the sword into his body, in the same place as Aurora. He remained standing, supported by the sword and Luana, fighting against his own destruction.

“Bloody Eclipse you got lucky today. The second victim in a day! - laugh. “Give Elmer a lesson. Leave your mark like Aurora, but let her live forever, slave to her own fears and her own language. May he learn not to oppose his sovereignty and may his mark burn whenever he thinks or speaks tyrannical words to or about anyone. And let him die instantly at the thought of rebelling against the crown.

For the second time only on that day, a bright strand of red and gold magic left the place Luana was holding and entered Elmer's grumbling body, trying to pull the sword from his body with his bloody hand. Lua snatched the sword from her body, and she was unable to support herself, falling violently to the ground. There was blood in the air, there was a sad scream, there was an angry scream of Aurora, now unspoken.

There was Luana's satisfied laughter, her body filled with Elmer's blood. A toast to many. Elmer was magically chained again, and Aurora kept shouting, dragging her chains. Luana was watching everything with delirium. Blood flowed from the sword and from his clothes, from his body. He sheathed his sword as he sensed Harvey's presence behind him. He wrapped one hand around his waist while the other hand raised the glass towards the crowd, encouraging them to cheer.

"I think I've found the owner of the poem I've heard coming out of Merleah's mouth for years." said Harvey in a low, hoarse voice in Luana's ear.

— Hmm..and what poem is it? he whispered slowly.

— Hot radiating, bitter, clumping

Underneath my body seeps, filling me with sudden pleasure

It makes me smile and moves my tongue to my lips

The screams hurt, to me, joy

A warm and satisfied laughter echoed in the hall

Body falling, blood in the air, intoxicating disappointment.

— I didn't know you could be so poetic — Luana said with a smile, she was impressed and surprised.

It seemed to have sounded exactly to her, right for that moment. Perfect depiction of the scene.

“I can be whatever I want whenever I want. But this time I didn't want to, this scene made me remember that.

- Beautiful.

- What? - Harvey asked to take a sip from the glass, Luana took the glass from his hand, seeing its contents: wine. He had not been drinking for a long time, so he decided to give it a try, took a sip of his mouth and returned the glass to Harvey. I wasn't going to drink much that day, that night there was a lot going on.

- Beautiful. You and the poem - said Luana and went up to the platform.

Harvey sat on his throne and as he turned to sit on his throne, Harvey grabbed his arm, making him stare at him in confusion, raising an eyebrow. He let go of Lua's arm, lightly patted her on his lap, quietly called out to her and grinned. The guards who were on the platform were confused and Luana rubbed her lips, smiled mischievously and obeyed Harvey, sitting on her lap. Some of the people in the hall whispered something to each other, waiting for Elmer to wake up. Aurora fell silent, kneeling on the floor, watching Harvey and Luana look at each other.

Luana followed the movement with her eyes, staying on her lips.

"Repeat what?" - Luana whispered back, pretending not to understand the question.

“That I'm handsome.

“I don't need to repeat what you heard well Harvey. And besides, you don't need anyone to say it to know that it's true.

- Repeat Luana - she insisted.

- What did I get out of it? - Lua looked at Harvey's eyes and she held her gaze back.

"Whatever you want," he guarantees.

"Even if all I want is you in my bed tonight?" — challenges.

"Our bed," he corrected, his eyes filled with desire.

- Done.

"Tell me then," he said in a hoarse voice.

Luana rubbed her lips and approached Harvey's ears, her hands on his waist.

"I think you're handsome, Harvey, and besides you're also very cool" he whispered in a seductive voice.

"Tell me sexy" she whispered.

Lua took the glass from Harvey's hand again and took another gulp in her mouth.

"Too sexy."

“If you get drunk, I won't believe your words.

I am hungry and excited. It was almost the same - Lua said and stood up as she watched Elmer move, descend the platform and stop beside her body.

— You... you... — he said when he opened his eyes and saw Luana in front of him.

"You'd better not say crazy words if you don't want to be in pain" he warned, pretending to be friendly.

Harvey paused beside her, smiling and hands in his pockets, the crown now erect on his head, he fixed it.

"How come, Your Majesty ..." Elmer spoke with great difficulty. "Women are like that..." He frowned.

— The answer is simple.umum. She was the right woman to be by my side. Do you see now? He's curbing the situation, isn't he? That's what I want. A powerful queen who knows how to defend herself. May he punish those who humiliate him. Make them pay for their mistakes and still have love for people. Isn't that what he wanted? I mean, people? I don't want to defend any woman, I want her to do this. Be independent. And Luana is everything and little more.

- This is the silly Harvey - Luana whispered too low, apparently, only she heard.

“How can you do this to me Harvey? Use me all this time and dump me now that you don't want me anymore,” whine Aurora.

"And isn't that what you call a whore?" Disposable? - Luana ironing.

“I don't know why you're saying this, Aurora, if I never slept with you.

Luana looked at Daniela with arched eyebrows and she denied it. Harvey wasn't lying. Luna was relieved, without knowing why.

- How can you say that? How can you deny? he shouted furiously.

Harvey tilted his head back with a laugh, his hands still relaxed in his black pants pocket.

"So tell me what I've tattooed on my right ribcage."

Luana bit her lower lip, holding back. He had seen the tattoo earlier in the waterfall. I know what I wrote there.

"I-I don't know," he whispered and lowered his head.

Lua could not control herself and laughed.

— He said he's been sleeping with her, but he said he didn't know what tattoo he had.. silly!

"And do you happen to know?" he defied with hatred in his eyes.

— Of course I know — Lua squatting in front of Aurora. "Blood in the air is what he says," and he stood up, seeing a smile forming on Harvey's lips.
