HE'S NOT HUMAN
CHAPTER 28 (Bag. 3)
Bella's body drooped unconscious on top of an old haystack that was already emitting an unpleasant smell due to the old storage in the damp room. There was no lighting in that place. The only light comes from the moonlight that enters through a small hole that is only able to escape air. Bella's hands were stretched out and bound to a long iron. The bond is so strong that it causes redness on her wrist. While Bella's dress, which was once pure white and luxurious, is now dirty and torn on the edge.
In each cell's bars it has been installed a powerful spell so that it can not be destroyed. Next to ‘room’ Bella, there is a woman who is crying bitterly. He just felt his pragma was gone. If he can escape, he will make sure that person, Xavier, dies in his own hands. How can they kill a man who knows nothing just for their vile purposes.
...-----...
4.25 A.M., Adena's residence. Aelios Kingdom. (Before the abduction)
Adena who was sleeping, awake because of the sound of steps that were like walking around her house. It awakens his pragma, Eric to be on the lookout. Adena and Eric sharpened their hearing, silent. Like waiting for an order. Sure enough, their house was suddenly broken into by a group of soldiers out of nowhere surrounding Adena and Eric who were still shocked. And there, Xavier appears.
“So, what is the purpose of prince Arro visiting you?” xavier asked as he walked over to the wooden house. Nothing special.
Adena doesn't understand, “who are you? And How do you know?”
Xavier laughed out loud, “Hahaha, do you think, I was so careless that I let you escape from the attack ..” Xavier remembered, “20 years ago?”
Adena and her husband were shocked. No, this is impossible. This man is the pragma of Queen Camelia.
Xavier is now closing in on Adena and her husband, who are still frozen in their beds. He bent down and held his body with both hands on the edge of the bed, staring intensely into Adena's bead. He smiled a little, underestimating. “I've been watching you all this time. For years. I know, one day that bastard or his pragma will definitely look for you, the only survivor of the attack that day.”
Clear liquid gathered in Adena's eye fertiliser, Xavier had planned this a long time ago. Though he had changed his name, living in the interior and not interacting with anyone.
“What do you want?” now the baritone voice of Adena's husband takes over Xavier's attention.
Xavier pretends to be shocked to hear the threatening tone from Adena's husband. “Look at Mystica, even this stupid husband of yours is trying to be a hero.”
“DIAM! Never say that to my husband,” growled Adena, suddenly everything in the house shook violently and fell down. Adena raised her hand and gathered her strength there. The glowing red light was ready to hit anything.
Xavier laughs when Adena tries to attack him. While Adena, who could not stand it, threw the fireball. Xavier could only shake his hand and deflect it towards the window. The sound of a bang accompanied by a fire burning trees there.
Adena was once again surprised. The science Xavier had was very powerful. So, is this the reason the Queen gathered all the great black magicians? Queen Camelia already knows the power of her pragma.
Xavier then plucked his finger, Adena's body suddenly falling helpless. While Eric, her husband, had shouted inadmissibly to see his wife's body made immobile.
“Go to the Kingdom of Vasileon, kidnap the human child. I'll wait for you before sundown. If you're a second late, this beautiful wife of yours I'll make fertilizer for my crops. Understand?”
“Master, how can it be? Before I bring it, I will die first.” Eric's right. He could not come and immediately brought the Princess. He did not have great power to fight against the main members of the kingdom.
Eric did not reply anymore, his tears falling as he could only stare at the body of his wife who was taken away by the troops.
...-----...
The reflection of the light from the illumination produced by the flame followed by the sound of footsteps spread out the memories of Adena with her husband the last time. Adena sharpened her hearing. The sound was getting closer, but not toward the cell, but toward the cell inhabited by someone they had brought along a few hours ago.
“Why is he still unconscious?” ask the voice, Xavier, to the guard standing behind him.
Adena wanted to rebel and confront the man. But, the next voice from Xavier stopped his intention.
“He must wake up and feel my torment. This kid must accept all the torture of Camelia's humiliation, right .. Mystica??” Xavier turned his smiling face while looking at the Mystica cell right next to Bella's.
Adena's frozen. The prisoner was Camellia's son. Adena's tears are pouring. “Master. Don't hurt that kid! He is not wrong.” Adena knelt down, begging.
“Hahaha.” Xavier laughed out loud, leaving echoes along the prison hallway. “What do you mean he's not wrong? This kid should have been dead a long time ago. If only, the despicable Queen did not hide this child.”
“Master, I beg you, Sir. That child is the only hope of the Upper World. She is the spouse of the future King of the Main Kingdom.”
Xavier was silent to hear it. Then he suddenly smiled broadly. “I already know, therefore, the reason for killing him is increasing," press Xavier.
Adena's eyes are growing. “You .. impossible ...” Adena could not continue her sentence. He had even forgotten the manners of speaking to a person of noble rank. To him, everything Argus is related to is a cunning criminal.
Fuck, rebellion and power struggles from the Main Kingdom had clearly spread. Some of the people from the four kingdoms who heard the rumor, divided into several groups. The group that supports Arro, the direct descendant of King Lexander Kyrillos, and the group that supports Argus, the brother of King Lexander Kyrillos.
“Oh, come on Mystica, don't be such a hypocrite. We have to support someone with greater strength, right?”
Adena pleaded, “Did you also get that great power from Argus?” Xavier's power couldn't be pure. From this close distance, Adena was sure there was something from the aura.
“So, you noticed it?” Xavier laughed happily.
Adena knows, that's not a question. But like a boast. Adena's eyes full of anger and hatred follow the movements of Xavier who is now walking out of the dark prison.
