Chapter 10: Jubilation Covering Dejection

[Romeo analyzed everything that had happened and was left baffled… All he could think of was to wake Lord Capulet up.]

Romeo: Excito!!

[Lord Capulet wakes up]

Lord Capulet: Romeo! What are you doing here?

Romeo: Saving you. Come on, let's get out of this wrecked basement.

[While trying to leave Romeo and Lord Capulet encounter Athena again!!]

Romeo: Who are you!! What are you doing here in the kingdom??

Athena: Oh. You don’t recognize me after you blasted me with that spell!

[All Athena could think of was revenge… She couldn’t think properly so she cast another spell which is Occidere...]

Athena: DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP MY PLAN?!?! A MEASLY PRINCE FROM THE MONTAGUE FAMILY?!?! WELL NO.

Athena: Time for revenge.

Athena: Occid-

[Athena forgot that Occidere can only be cast 1 time per day and can have severe consequences if cast 2 times]

Athena: Wha-

[Athena’s body shined. Athena could see, think or feel anything.]

{While dying Athena dreamed of a dream where she’s loved by her parents.]

[Then Athena’s body is obliterated leaving no trace of her]

Romeo: That was weird…

Romeo: Let’s ignore that and go upstairs.

[Romeo and Lord Capulet go upstairs only to find a crown of guards in front of them.]

Armed Guard: You’re under arrest for the murder of Juliet Capulet.]

Romeo: WHAT!! When did I murder Juliet?!?!

[The Armed Guard shows Juliet’s dead body to Romeo]

Romeo: Juliet is dead…? When was I involved in this???

Armed Guard: The stab wound matches that of Juliet’s injury.

[That girl must’ve cast something that created these delusions… It’s probably Errores… It said that the spell “Veritas” can remove these illusions.]

[The spell “Errores” can make the user cast illusions that are so true that you can touch them.]

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

[The spell “Veritas” reveals all the truth within a certain area.]

Romeo: Veritas!!

[The Guards were knocked unconscious and the illusions disappeared]

Romeo: Phew that was taken care of. Well then let's head outside of the kingdom to resolve the problems caused by that girl.

[Romeo and Lord Capulet headed outside then…]

A citizen: Get out here you murderer!!

[A group of people keeps shouting “Murderer” toward Romeo.]

[Romeo runs inside the kingdom]

Romeo: What happened out there??

A Guard: Well I think the people are blaming you for the death of Juliet Capulet.

Romeo: How can you be calm about that… And why are you not attacking me?

A Guard: I think when you cast the spell “Veritas” it revealed all the truth to me.

Romeo: Wow, I didn't think that spell was that powerful.

Romeo: I know how to solve this problem! I’ll cast the spell Veritas on a scale much bigger and can affect all the parts of the kingdom!

Lord Capulet: I think a more powerful spell needs more energy and power to cast.

Romeo: That’s true but I need the kingdom to see the truth!!

Lord Capulet: Allow me to cast the spell for you Romeo.

Lord Capulet: I saw my own wife and daughter get killed in front of me.

Lord Capulet: If the spell were to kill me. I think that would be an honorable death for me.

Romeo: Well then let’s teach you the spell. I think it's a different spell if it were that wide of a range.

[Romeo teaches Lord Capulet the spell.]

Lord Capulet: Let’s go down to business shall we?

[Lord Capulet goes outside then…]

Lord Capulet: Annunciate Veritatem!!!!

[The spell “Annunciate Veritatem” is the more powerful version of Veritas capable of affecting everyone within a 300 km radius]

[A powerful shock wave was created and the spell Veritas affected everyone in the kingdom]

[That magnitude of the spell was too much for Lord Capulet’s body turning his body to ash.]

Romeo: Lord Capulet… I hope that your death is not in vain…

[Romeo goes back to the castle and all of a sudden someone whispers to him… Does Romeo think it's the witch]

The witch?: (In an echoey voice) Why don’t you find Juliet, Romeo?

Romeo: How??

The witch?: (In an echoey voice) Why don't you cast a spell…

Romeo: … All I can think of is two spells…

Romeo: Cognosco!!

[Romeo learned that something happened to the basement.]

[Romeo goes to the basement and then casts the spell…]

Romeo: Veritas!!

[Romeo learned that Juliet’s body is under the tiles]

[Romeo digs up the floor and then saw Juliet’s dead body]

Romeo: Juliet!! What happe-

[Romeo’s vision begins to blur. He then hears the witch say]

The witch: (In an echoey voice) Times up Romeo!! It appears you’ve returned to Juliet’s aid.

The witch: (In an echoey voice) Your goal is done and so is your life!! Goodbye, Romeo!!

Romeo: Im sorry Juliet… It appears that I’ve failed to protect you…

[Romeo reverts to his status where he died of blood loss and venom]

[In the mangrove forest]

The witch: Well that was a fun experiment!! It’s an interesting fact that Humans thrive on emotions.

The witch: I’ll find other experiment subjects!

[The witch wanders around the kingdom and she sees a miserable nurse.]

The witch: Oh… Look what we have here!

The witch: Cognosco!!

[The witch learned that the nurse is in terrible pain. She lost her princess, Juliet Capulet. To her, Juliet is like her own daughter… And to add insult to injury the Juliet she talked to is not even Juliet herself but rather Athena]

The witch: Why don’t I help you with your pain?

The nurse: How…?

The witch: Errores!!

[The witch casts an illusion of Juliet]

The nurse: Oh Juliet!! You’re still alive!!

[The nurse runs and tightly hugs “Juliet”]

[But “Juliet” says something…]

“Juliet”: You are to blame for this! Because of you, I passed away! If you had helped me when I was at my worst, this would not have happened. The gall to dress like that! You are not worthy to serve as my nurse!

[The nurse’s heartbreak… She was filled with despair]

The witch: Why don’t you… visit Juliet herself…

[The witch creates a knife and leaves with a wicked laugh!]

[The nurse filled with delusions… She could only think of one thing…]

The nurse: Don’t worry Juliet… I'm coming!

[The nurse commits suicide in the hope of seeing Juliet again…]

[Back to the kingdom]

[The kingdom wakes up with the truth that Romeo, Juliet, Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, The nurse, and Athena are dead.]

A Guard: With the royal family of the Capulet family dead. The authority is given to the house os Montague.

[The house Montague takes control of the kingdom and commits “corrumpere et dictatore”.]
