Chapter 40 - CHAPTER 40: THE BLOOD OATH

The soldiers could not understand how someone like Zyric had managed to catch him, and as time passed, their doubt grew deeper and deeper.

 

Zyric reacts immediately and slaps that man. After that, "I am the one! Please, I am, I am the one who attacked Elysia today!" That man confesses everything in just one slap, and that soldier also starts looking a bit serious.

 

"Come inside with me." That soldier says this much and keeps looking at Zyric as he drags that man along.

 

"Strange thing, this is a child, and how could he have defeated that powerful man who even has a Fuzan Vault?" That soldier says in surprise.

 

In his eyes, Zyric is just a child, and he cannot possibly have a Fuzan Vault. So then how Zyric was doing all this, that soldier was not able to understand.

 

After a while, both of them reach the court. There, a King was sitting in front, and Prince Edgar and Prince Edward were also present there.

 

"King Eldric, this boy claims that this is the person who attacked Princess Elysia."

 

As soon as that soldier says this, King Eldric, Edgar, and Edward--all three of them--start looking at that man with anger and then look towards Zyric.

 

"What proof do you have, boy, that this is the one?" King Eldric says angrily while looking at Zyric, because his mood was really very bad.

 

"Father, perhaps this boy is telling the truth, maybe it is the same man. Since I have caught him so many times going around the palace with something suspicious going on, and more so, once I had even seen a bottle of poison in his hands. I don't know what he was doing with it. As far as I believe, he is the one." As soon as Prince Edward says this, the King starts looking even angrier.

 

King Eldric stands up from his place and starts moving forward slowly.

He moves closer and reaches right near that man, then strikes him powerfully with both his hands.

 

Seeing all this, Zyric starts feeling nauseous, and he also feels dizzy, because Zyric was not used to seeing such things.

Zyric could not even handle himself at that moment and was about to fall down, dizzy.

 

Straight after that, he hears a voice.

Suddenly, the doors behind open. The moment Zyric turns back, Zyric sees a Healer, who is kind of the doctor here.

That Healer comes forward.

 

"King, in our opinion, we cannot fix Elysia's eyes because we do not have the equipment to treat them. The poison on her eyes is from the eastern forest snake, which is very dangerous, and Elysia's condition has become very bad. The condition of her eyes has worsened greatly."

"If her eyes are to be fixed, then we will need a high-rank Healer to see her, or such herbs that are found only in a five-star tribe. And we... we do not have enough money to buy that medicine, nor can we go there by crossing the forest, because very large forests come in the way where the beasts are far more powerful than us, very... very powerful." That Healer says to King Eldric.

 

"I do not want to hear all this. Can she be fixed or not? Tell me quickly!" Hearing the King's words, the Healer makes a gesture, after which Princess Elysia comes through that door with some Healers.

 

One of Princess Elysia's eyes was looking a bit red, and many herbs and paste were applied to it, but her other eye was fine.

 

Elysia comes there and suddenly sees Zyric, after which she looks at her father again and immediately goes and hugs him.

 

"Do not worry, my child. Nothing will happen to you." King Eldric says to his daughter and keeps hugging her.

 

"I will fix you by any means. Do not worry. You will be able to see like before..." King Eldric says this while he caresses Elysia's cheeks and gazes at her face.

 

One of the eyes of Elysia was filled with tears, the other with blood. It was a terrible and painful to see, and they could do nothing to cure it.

 

"Listen, I can fix the Princess's eyes." Suddenly, Zyric speaks up in the middle, and everyone's gaze turns towards Zyric.

 

Between a wounded Princess and a King with nothing left to lose, one boy now stood in the center of everything.
