FSTR - Chapter 51

Chapter Fifty One - Unkingly penalty.

The time zone now is after the Zamerian Chapel was attacked, there are so many plots going on at the moment that we have to keep proper track.

"Blasted Bear Bloods, as if my shift wasn't long and boring enough!" A guard complained, that has been called in by Aldrich.

According to plan, after murdering one guard and stripping him out of his clothes, Aldrich has been dressed with the Guard's clothes after. There is absolutely no chance for him to get recognised with those Guard clothes on unless another actually took time to look at his face in this brood moonlight, that would be misunderstood.

The first enemy Guard entered this side of the walls, and the second is supposed to come later since he is about 50 meters away. Perfectly timed come to think of it, the deaths can escape clean with the aid of shadows in this darkness.

Sefar casually jumped over the next Guard, he has actually laid flat on the wall, using the shade of a moonlight as an aid of his hiding.

Again using his body weight as an aid, he knocked the Guard down and this time even tied his own legs around the enemy to strangle him.

The Guard gasped for breath, with one hand holding tight the cloth that has been thrown around his neck and with the other hand he is scratching the rock wall beneath him, as if it would drag him away from danger.

The other Guard that was supposed to come later, arrived in the scene and noticed that two men are on the ground. Although blurry from a distance, when he got close he noticed what's going on.

He raised his sword against Sefar and shouted. "Let him go or I'll kill you!" Having hesitations about killing a Guard, not realizing the plot they have fallen too.

Out of a sudden, he felt an impactful blow on his sword. Tybalt, the tallest man here has moved out of the shadows and actually managed to kick the sword off the enemy Guard's hands.

"What the fu..." The Guard tried to shout, which in many cases can alarm more Guards even now at night. But felt it impossible to continue that shout since Tybalt grabbed him by the throat.

The Guard started elevating higher, Tybalt is holding him up with one arm, having it no struggle. And having no hesitations whatsoever to even give in more strength against the enemy's neck.

His hesitation to kill, became far gone when he watched his mother and daughter killed in that awful day. Choking this man, makes him feel like he is getting a compensation for the innocent deaths. At least now he has an excuse to kill a Guard, better than killing Sefar I suppose.

The third guard arrived in the scene, and when he saw the tall Tybalt raising a Guard up and afterwards dropping his lifeless body to the ground, the third Guard indeed became a bit spooked.

He raised his sword, and was dumb enough to not call for help. Charging towards Tybalt to make a clean cut as an aim, he did not expect what was to hit him.

Tybalt heard the quick footsteps, and due to that he is in no need for any help. Grabbing the sword of which the dead Guard dropped when Setar killed the second Guard, with all his power he tossed it against the third Guard.

And therefore, his chest got penetrated half way in. Perhaps the sword did not build enough momentum to go through the enemy, since it was thrown at a 30° Angle and the Guard was 7 meters away, furthermore the Guard has armour on. But the sudden pain was enough to stop the Guard on his spot.

He dropped on the ground and fainted, the sudden outburst of pain is indeed hard to handle and the sudden stamina used to withstand the pain aided to knocking him out.

Grabbing Aldrich's sword after, Tybalt walked towards the third Guard and nailed him on the head once, pulled the sword out again and returned it to Tybalt. Heartless at worse, but this is survival of the fittest.

...

"Alright we are ready and I see the Castle, just try to fit in." Setar requested, well he knows that Aldrich won't do anything to grab attention but Tybalt might!

"We'll be fine, just act like a normal dumb guard." Aldrich ensured, knowing that Tybalt will listen to him more.

...

"My shift is over here, why are you late?" One Castle Guard asked the other, obviously pissed that he has to stay here longer than he has to.

"I was grabbing something to eat, I skipped Dinner today." The late Guard specified, trying to excuse himself.

Currently there are three Castle Guards right in front of the main entrance, two are supposed to be here all the time and the third is supposed to take a shift. A fourth one is supposed to come as well actually, but like this third Guard he is late.

"Keep your order, this is the Capital Castle, you aren't Guarding the mines. As for this, be sure that the Guard Commander will find out." The second Guard threatened, obviously he isn't a fan to this disorder but after all it is past midnight so who wouldn't be cranky?

"Just get out of here." The third Guard shouted mildly.

In a break of a second, from the shadows came a sword tossed at brute strength. Tybalt Ryia came out of the shadows after the shot, glancing upon the third Guard nailed on the wooden casing of the main entrance.

The Guard was shouting in pain, and it didn't take long before his shouts got softer and softer, finally ending permanently.

Unarmed, it is clear to see that Tybalt tossed it. A moment after he pulled another sword from his Scabbard that is strapped on his back.

"Attack, we have intruders! Attack!" The first Guard shouted, his yelling accompanied to how much noise the dead guard made, will for sure drag in more attention.

There was no way to kill these Guards silently, there are too many of them and attacking from the sides is nearly impossible as well since the door is sunk in large stonework.

Aldrich Archer came out of the shadows with his sword raised, and walked near Tybalt. Now the odds are on their favour since Tybalt won't have to worry about dealing with both Guards alone.

Now the third man should be joining in the battle, Setar is supposed to join. But where is he? Well, he didn't show up and quite frankly has made a run for it. He did say that he will run away, but when he actually offered to lead them to the Castle, they thought he would join in the mission of killing King Mendebal.

Wherever he could be, this isn't the time to think about it. The two guards attacked regardless of the fact that they are dealing with two people now. They are Castle Guards, have high standards and would never flee a fight.

Aldrich became a bit baffled, trying to scope out where Setar is. He focused so much on that point, that he gave the Guards a blind spot for them to swing.

Tybalt raised his sword swiftly to protect the young Aldrich, but got a blow on the waist from the other Guard. Flinching in pain, fueled in anger he grabbed the Guard by the neck and pushed forward.

Smashing the Guard against the main entrance and pushing his sword through the Guard after, he took a peek back to figure out how Aldrich has fared.

Aldrich, well he seemed to have beheaded the Guard with one swing thanks to sudden reflex. All those 16 hours a day of ambitious training finally paid off!

He has even walked closer to Tybalt as if nothing happened, stating. "Setar has fled, you were right not to trust him."

A bundle of Guards busted out of the main entrance, it came out of a sudden for Tybalt and Aldrich as they were exchanging short dialogue.

Two Guards tackled Aldrich, noting it Tybalt instantly tried to stab or slice them. But another Castle Guard kicked his hand, sliced his waist almost at the same spot and afterwards three more Guards leaped against Tybalt.

Knocking him down, it felt difficult to hold him still so 2 more Guards jumped over him. They have been tackled, sliced and disarmed. They are still alive, but until when?

...

"So you two Bastards tried to kill me aye?" King Mendebal Griffin asked, looking at the two Bear Bloods with shame.

"You killed our families, did you really think that we would agree to be your tools after? You are an absolute fucking moron." Tybalt shouted, having enough motivation to kill the King even though he is being held back by 3 Guards who have tied him and are keeping him flat on the Throne Room's flooring with a foot on his head.

"Obviously you failed, sir Tybalt." King Mendebal added, raising his hand high gesturing the Guards to not hit him. He even had them treat his wounds. "But you tried to break in my Castle, killed my Guards and even broke out of the Arena. What do you plan to do about this situation?"

"What the hell do you want me to do? It is not like you won't kill us!" Tybalt pointed out the obvious, shouting in rage and wanting to break the leg of the Guard who is stepping on his head.

"No no, killing you would absolutely be bad for my profits. See Sir Tybalt I will milk you until you become a Champion or die trying to reach it." Obviously there is a superior mind behind Tybalt's decision, otherwise he would obviously want the two Bear Bloods killed at the moment.

Trying to specify, the King added. "You won't be killed today, but forget your chances of freedom. You will work for free, until you die in the Arena. That's your penalty!"
