A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy - Chapter 246

“Interesting”

“Well, you don’t need to do anything as Soyle Army will help us. We have two injured people from our kingdom and the one responsible for them is Wizard king Arthur.”

“Pardon” Adriana was confused.

Vlasella clicked her tongue in excitement. “You see, it will be a piece of cake for Arthur, if only we snuck in his kingdom. It’s his kingdom and he know it like his back of hand.”

“No matter how vigilant we are, we won’t be able to escape him in his own turf, so I came up with a plan that will not only buy us time but also will increase our success rate. I don’t want this to fail, not at any cost”

“And what is the grand plan, Miss Vlasella?” Hector asked.

She gave him a sweet smile. “I like your voice”

Hugo “…”

Hector “….”

Adriana “…”

Was she really the twin sister of our master?

The trio was having same doubts I n their mind at the same time.

She slapped the seat of her throne while laughing. “Oh dear! I was kidding”

“Why are you all serious?”

“Relax. The delegates from Soyle will be reaching Reinstle in next three days. They will personally meet Arthur and will inform him about the unhappiness about Soyle King. Lord Sien, has personally asked for a written apology from him as well as the head of that woman who he saved.”

“Ciel Taylor” This time, it was Hugo who spoke.

“Spot on”

“He has asked to hand over that girl so he can punish her. Everything will be good if Arthur apologizes and hand over Ciel but the catch is, Arthur won’t apologize and neither will he hand his love to Lord Sien, so Soyle will wage a war on Reinstle for breaking diplomatic relations, harming the peace as well as scheming against a kingdom and several other charges.”

“In short, it will be an official war that can’t be stopped since even if Arthur wishes to apologize, it will be futile since we already have Camy with us. We kidnapped her”

Wow!

Vlasella clapped her hand in joy. Earlier she still had little doubts about this plan since she thought that Arthur might apologize and hand in that girl because, having a war with a neighboring condition was not a very good idea.

The peace lover Arthur might not be willing to sacrifice lives of innocent but now, there is no way to stop this war.

She had a strange smile on her lips which was eerie.

“That is wonderful Hugo”

“This way, Arthur will be at loss. He could either save his kingdom from a war or he could just waste his energy to locate us. Given the two options, he will probably save innocents life and our plan will be fulfilled so does the old man wish” She said last part softly. As if she was preserving it.

Outskirts of Reinstle

Ceil constantly tried to talk to Camy but to no avail.

Camy’s eyes were blank and they were staring at nothing. She, not even once bat an eye on Ceil. However, Ciel did not give up. She tried to reach for her hand but Camy looked coldly at her as if trying to tell her to stay away, she stopped midway and retracted her hand.

Ceil awkwardly sat down. Ceil tried to start a conversation again thinking that their bond of being sisters might help her feel humanity again.  “Camy, Do you seriously not remember how we used to sneak out of the room in the hostel? I still remember that thrilling feeling of doing something worth remembering.”

Ceil looked at Camy with an expected look. But she was disappointed.

“Camy, our big brother, is not in good health. He misses you. He doesn’t say much to me but the look in his eyes when he looks at me shows his hurt and longing for you. That longing to meet his other sister and the hurt because he couldn’t protect you, as a brother should have.”

“Camy, You never liked me in tears. You were the strong one among both of us then how are you like this now? ” Camy still did not respond. She was emanating a cold and shrilling vibe, as if you come any near to her, she will freeze you to death.

“Please come back to your senses Camy. We all miss you and need you…….”

Ceil was still talking when she heard the door being opened. Vladis came inside, but it didn’t make her feel at ease. Because she knew, he wasn’t going to rescue them or help her to make Camy feel her humanity again, so she can talk.

Vladis charged at her with a fast pace pulling her  arm to make her stand up. He was ruthless. He didn’t even care about the injury she had  on her legs making her unable to walk. He just pushed her and made her sit on the chair present in the room. He tied her hands and feet with the rope hanging beside the chair.

Ciel shouted, “Vladis what are you doing?”

“Help me convince Camy to come with us. You are here to rescue us, aren’t you? Is all this an act? Isn’t it?”

“Arthur must be downstairs. He would have sensed my absence until now. Why are you tying me? Is this some kind of an act to fool the enemy? Speak Vladis” She cried desperately.

“No”

That’s all he answered to all her questions when he opened his mouth. He left Ceil on the chair and walked towards Camy and crouched down to gently speak in her ear, “Let’s go”

He held Camy’s hand and got up to leave.

Ceil was dumbfounded at the situation. She quickly recovered and shouted, “Vladis, seriously, you are going to leave me like this? Arthur is your childhood friend. You both were supposed to be sworn brothers”

“What happened to all those brotherly bonding? Huh?”

” Are you going to do this to him? To me, Camy’s sister” She wasn’t able to control her emotions.

Vladis ignored and just left the room with Camy. Ceil couldn’t understand the turn of events and she couldn’t believe that Vladis was the one who tied her. She would have treated this as a dream, if not for the pain throbbing in her leg.
