The wagon rolled on. Kian looked at Leto remembering the torture she put him through, it sent a chill down his spine as he recalled it.
He hugged himself, yes he could regenerate, but that didn't mean he couldn't feel pain, also Leto used a special torture that couldn't be easily forgotten. She messed with his head, so much her voice stuck.
Soon enough they were met with a camp with light blue and blue tents.
"The Cadisian Color" Khione said holding her sister
Leto looked so determined, as if the King would immediately marry her upon seeing the captures.
Surprisingly he walked up to the carts.
Leto turned red.
"Halt!"
The wagons came to a stop.
He walked up to Leto "Who do we have here? Charlotte has returned after being banished, with the same girl she was banished for."
He looked at the others "Who are these kids?"
"One can't die" the King looked at her and then laughed.
"HAHAHA! CAN'T DIE!? WHAT YOU THINK I'M SONE IDIOT? WHAT IS HE A GOD? OH LET ME PRAY TO HIM, ALTHOUGH I NEVER PRAY TO ANY OF THEM ANYWAY!"
Leto smiled and in one quick movement stabbed Kian in the head. Everyone jumped back, while they knew he'd return, it was still frightening, for his head to just open like that.
"Huh?"
"Just give it a second..."
Kaede and the other glared at Leto, but not without a bit of discomfort from seeing a dead body. "I'LL KILL YOU!"
Khione gripped the wagon making some freeze.
Alya wanted to kill every single person and she looked at May then Khione who shook her head although she really wanted to say 'do it'.
Then Kian revived, The King's eyes widened. "Oh! Oh! Oh How amazing! You, Leto have brought me something amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
"Take them to the center at this very moment!"
He grabbed Leto and swung her around, she gasped and laughed.
Some guards lead the group towards the camp, they got different stares this time. Some full of hate, evil, and some with a twisted lust.
The King lead Leto his his tent and put a necklace around her neck, she finally got what she wanted.
She wrapped herself around him as if he would stop loving her.
"Thank you My King, Thank you for recognizing me."
He lifted her chin "You are such a beautiful woman, how could I not?"
Leto blushed and looked into his eyes. He brought her closer and kissed her. She half lost her mind when he did.
"My, My lord. You just..."
"Charlotte, would you mind being my 16th wife? I will cherish you, dress you with only the best. I will make you more than some spy."
Leto states at him, her mind filled with a thousand thoughts at once.
"YES" She screamed jumping into his arms.
She began to tear up looking at him "You're... You're so Kind to me My Lord."
He smiled and took her hand.
"I promise to give birth to every child you wish, no matter what you want I'll accomplish it, I'll cook the best meals, you can throw out any maid I'll take their place, just love me more than any woman you know.... Please promise me"
"Of course dear, I will love you more than anything else."
"You promise?"
He kissed her forehead and took her outside.
"Everyone here today! Charlotte has brought us Khione!"
Everyone cheered "Not only that we have a kid that can't officially die!"
Everyone looked.The King smiled "Go ahead kill him as many times as you wish!"
Kaede and Khione stepped in front of him. Alya put him under a little wind spell of protection.
May's teeth sharpened. Selene floated ready to attack.
The King laughed "Well looks like we have to kill them before-"
"No!" Kian stepped forward as Kaede tried to stop him "Don't! I can't watch you die!" Her eyes began to water.
Kian looked at all of them, "I promised to be a Hero, this is my chance."
He walked towards them and in an instant they began shooting arrows.
He woke up and the arrows fell out of his body.
"WOAH!"
They all clapped while looking at the King, not Leto though.
She tugged on King Donis' shirt
"Oh, I forgot. She asked to marry me. So we must make sure she's worthy of that."
Leto looked in indifference to him, he asked her and treated her like she was worthy.
"So, we will have her fight Khione, the person she got banished for, and if she wins.... She will be my 16th wife!"
Everyone cheered "Yeah!"
Leto looked at the King as one tear fell down, but she wiped it away "I- I will! I promise! I'll prove my worth!"
She looked at Khione. "I'll end you!"
Khione looked at Leto with nothing, but pure hatred, a silent rage that hand boiled in her frozen body.
A need to end this woman's life no matter the consequences. This was her moment, to end Leto's life.
"The match will start here." He patted Leto's shoulder and walked to the watching area.
"3!"
Khione clenched her fist as ice began to form.
"2"
Leto spread out her fingers and a web began to be made.
"1"
The onlookers watched with different expressions.
"GO!"
Both fighters ran towards each other, each driven by hate, buried so deep it consumed them fully.
String that could cut almost anything vs Ice that could freeze almost anything.
Khione summoned a bunch of ice which ripped through the ground charging towards Leto.
Leto swung her hands at it and her springs sliced through the ice reaching Khione who held her hand out freezing then shattering them.
Leto threw her hands at the ground sending string through the ground like worms and they began to surface coming towards Khione who created an ice wall.
They ripped through, but she ran past it and made an ice layer that quickly reached Leto and once it did it sprouted a huge icicle.
Leto jumped away and twirled as string came out at the same time and one cut Khione.
So she stomped making a bunch of ice form around blowing Leto away.
"YOU! YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME!" She throws the strings out again, but this time Khione freezes them and shatters them in Leto's face.
Some cut her as she falls.
She tries to get back up, but is blows away by more ice.
Then she lands right in the path of King Donis.
She looks at him a tear falling down her eye.
Khione walks towards her.
Leto tries to stand, but she's stuck, she freezes as she turns only to see her foot has been frozen she let's put a bloodcurdling scream as the ice slowly spreads up her leg.
"MY KING! SAVE ME, I SAID I LOVED YOU. YOU KISSED ME, I PROMISED YOU LOVE, YOU PROMISED ME MORE. SAVE MEEE!"
"I promised you nothing, I never said I promised lowly peasant."
It was true, he never did promise her, he just spoke... Lies.
"I... I love you." She said with more tears.
He stared at her with nothing, but coldness. "I never loved you..."
The ice spread to her body and soon began to freeze her blood and heart.
"W-Why... Why... Why couldn't I... Feel love." Her last words as the ice enveloped her freezing her to death.
Her tears frozen on her face. Her eyes remained looking at someone so far, yet she tried everything to get them.
Khione walked up to her and spread her hand out shattering her to pieces.
Then Khione looked at the King. "Good job indeed. I never thought you had it-" he felt his foot freeze and immediately cut it off.
"So it's like that huh?"
"KILL HER!"
Khione looked at everyone and nodded.
The chaos then began.
King Donis got on his horse and rode away.
Khione ran over and froze his horse sending him tumbling.
Then a guard passed by, so the King threw him off the horse and rode off.
Khione walked up to the guard and took off his helmet, she smiled and cupped his face.
He begged as he cried yet, her heart was too cold to feel anything.
She froze his face and crushed it.
Then she looked at the chaos behind her and walked through freezing any opponent, any Slaver.
Once all the attackers were dead she stopped.
The others looked at her with a bit of fear, but Kaede walked up to her and held her hand. "Calm down or you'll freeze yourself again. I was already in tears from last time..."
Khione looked at Kaede and saw the girl crying.
She wanted to smile, she wanted to say it was okay, but she couldn't. She couldn't say anything or do anything except just stare.
Kaede hugged her "It's okay, you don't have to do anything. Just calm down for me okay?"
Khione rose her hand and hugged the girl. Finally a tear fell. She broke down in Kaede arms.
"You did it, Khione. You won." She rubbed her back.
Khiade walked up and hugged her sister "Thank you Big sister!"
Then everyone came and hugged or comforted her.
Khione only cried more, but she smiled too.
"Your not alone, not anymore."
"Thank you... Thanks to all of you."
