"King Utsu, we cannot allow ourselves to be swayed by the empty promises and false claims of a criminal!" Howl exclaimed, his voice filled with conviction. "Purgus has spent years fighting against the very ideals that our kingdom stands for. He has insulted the Royals, defied the authority of the crown, and sought to dismantle everything we hold dear.Wendy's alliance with Purgus speaks volumes about her loyalty. She chose to stand with a known enemy of our kingdom, someone who has caused us harm time and time again. It is a clear betrayal of her duties not only as a member of the Celeston Family, but as a Neospacian of the Kingdom! She is just as Dangerous as this man! Wendy's actions have demonstrated where her loyalties truly lie. She has forsaken her family, her duty, and the trust we once placed in her. We cannot let this act of treachery go unpunished."!

Wendy's Held a hand over her heart . It hurt that her entire family was against her and left her feeling trapped and helpless. She knew that any attempt to refute Howl's claims would only further paint her as a traitor, and she feared the repercussions it could bring.

King Utsu's expression hardened as he absorbed Howl's impassioned words. His gaze shifted from Howl to Wendy, disappointment etched on his face. The weight of his responsibility as a king bore heavily upon him, and the lack of unity within the kingdom only intensified his anger.

"The actions of Purgus and Wendy have cast a shadow upon the unity and stability of our kingdom. Their alliance threatens the very foundation of our society. Wendy, I had hoped that you chose the path of loyalty and honor, but your actions have shown otherwise. I am deeply disappointed in you."

King Utsu's gaze hardened as he listened to Howl's accusations. Doubt gnawed at his mind, clouding his judgment. The weight of his duty as the king clashed with the uncertainty that lingered within him, but he had to do it. He had to make a decision, but it was a decision that could alter the course of lives and the stability of the kingdom.

In a swift motion, King Utsu made a hasty decision, his voice firm and resolute. "Wendy, you will be placed under arrest immediately. The kingdom cannot afford to tolerate acts of betrayal and division. Your punishment will be determined in due time, as will the consequences for your association with Purgus. Purgus, you will also be Arrested for being a Criminal of the Kingdom. Guards,"

King Utsu's voice carried a solemn tone as he addressed the soldiers standing nearby, "Arrest both Purgus and Wendy."

Wendy's heart sinks further as the guards moved in, their expressions determined and unyielding. She glanced at Purgus, any spark of hope she had diminished in her eyes Howl's manipulation had succeeded, casting her and Purgus as the villains in this tangled web of deceit.

As the guards closed in, Purgus stood tall, his gaze unwavering. "King Utsu, I may be branded a criminal, but I am innocent of the crimes you accuse me of. Wendy, too, stands innocent, despite the lies that have been made against her.

Wendy's eyes welled up with unshed tears as the decision went against her. Purgus noticed Wendy's sorrow, and Purgus turned with an angry expression towards Howl. In a fiery rage, he unleashed a torrent of scathing words directly at Howl.

"Howl, YOU DAMN SPINELESS COWARDLY MANIPULATOR! TWISTING THE TRUTH TO SERVE YOUR OWN SELFISH DESIRES! YOU AND YOUR WHOLE FUCKING CELESTON FAMILY HAVE TAINTED...THE VERY ESSENCE OF ROYALTY WITH YOUR DECEIT AND CORRUPTION! I'LL SLAY EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!"

Purgus fought against the guards, his movements were fluid and precise. His skills honed through years of struggle and resistance, he fought with an intensity that shook the resolve of those who stood against him. With each strike, he sought to create an opening, a path to freedom.

Wendy's heart raced, torn between the desire to fight alongside Purgus and the fear of the consequences that awaited her. She knew it might be suicide to fight back after what happened earlier.

Purgus, his voice resonating with urgency, shouted to Wendy amidst the chaos, " WENDY! DON'T LET FEAR HOLD YOU BACK! We can't let them control our fate! Fight back, DEFEND YOURSELF, WENDY!!!!!"

Wendy's eyes widened as she watched Purgus take down a guard with a swift and powerful strike. The sight filled her with a surge of determination. She couldn't stand by and let others dictate her destiny any longer.

Summoning her inner strength, Wendy channeled her frustration and anger into every move. She dodged, blocked, and retaliated with calculated precision, her strikes finding their mark. The guards, momentarily caught off guard by her newfound ferocity, faltered under the unexpected resistance.

With each successful strike, Wendy's confidence grew, fueled by the realization that she was not alone in this fight. Purgus stood beside her, a symbol of rebellion and defiance against the injustices they had endured.

Together, they fought back against the overwhelming odds, their movements becoming a dance of rebellion against the tyranny that had plagued their lives. Their combined skills and determination created a force that seemed unstoppable, empowering those who witnessed their fight.

Wendy and Purgus fought their way to an escape from the scene and dashed into the dense forest, their bodies fueled by adrenaline and their hearts pounding in their chests, but they soon realized they were not alone. Yenza, Liona, and Howl stood before them, blocking their path with menacing expressions etched across their faces.

Yenza's eyes blazed with anger as he clenched his fists, ready to pounce at any moment. Liona's teenage fury radiated from her, her teeth gritted and her muscles tense. Howl, filled with a burning rage, wore a chilling smirk that sent shivers down Wendy's spine.

"You won't get away so easily," Howl sneered, his voice laced with malice. "After what you've done, there is NO chance of mercy. You will PAY DEARLY for your betrayal, Wendy!"

Wendy felt unnerving fear coursing through her veins. She knew that standing against her family would not be easy, but she refused to back down. With Purgus by her side, she found strength and resilience.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Purgus stepped forward, his voice having an unwavering conviction. "We will not allow you dictate our lives any longer the way you please!"

Maer stepped into the scene, a heavy silence fell over the forest. All eyes turned toward her, the uncertainty and tension raised in the air. Wendy's heart skipped a beat, unsure of what to expect from this woman.

Maer's features softened, a flicker of emotion crossing her eyes. For a moment, it seemed as though her resolve wavered. But then, her gaze hardened, and she took a step forward.

"I have made my choice," Maer's voice was steady, though sadness lingered beneath her words. "I cannot stand against my family. Wendy, Purgus, you must face the consequences of your actions. So, as the Deity Queen, I will take both of you down, dead or alive."

Wendy had truly lost the support of someone who cared for her and it stung deeply. The divide between them widened, leaving Wendy feeling more alone than ever..

"Purgus, I know you want to take on Howl alone," Wendy began, her voice steady but pleading. "But I need your help.. Liona, Yenza, and Maer are formidable opponents as well. We need to face them together. If we divide our strength, we may not be able to overcome them."

Purgus regarded Wendy with a steely gaze, his resolve unwavering. "Wendy, I wasn't going to let you face them all alone. There's way too much at stake here. I will take them all on beside you. Trust in my abilities, and I'll trust in yours."

"Alright, Purgus, but be careful. I don't want to lose you. Let's meet our opponents head-on, together or apart, and show them that we won't be defeated easily!"

"Look at that" Howl taunted "The guy with the Baby-level of Neos power is making plans!"

"You underestimate me, Howl," Purgus responded, his voice steady and resolute. "I have grown stronger, both in power and resolve! I absolutely REFUSE to be humiliated by you or anyone of your family again!"

With a burst of energy, Purgus unleashed his full strength, the air crackling with his cosmic energy. The ground trembled beneath their feet as their clash intensified, their powers colliding in a fierce battle.

Howl's smirk wavered for a moment as he felt the sheer force behind Purgus's attacks. He quickly regained his composure, his pride refusing to let him show any signs of weakness.

"Foolish Purgus, going after me first... Didn't you just tell Wendy you weren't going to let her fight alone" Howl sneered, "You may have gained some power, but you are still no match for me, not in combat or intellect. I am next to be King of this Planet, and I will prove my superiority to you ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

Wendy faced the overwhelming challenge of fighting against Liona, Yenza, and Maer. "P-Purgus! What about our plan?!" She stated loudly, but her words fell on death's ears. Her eyes widened with the realization that she couldn't defeat them alone.

But just when the odds seemed insurmountable, two familiar figures emerged from the shadows.

"Wendy!" Kolra's voice rang out, her mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Looks like you could use a little help!"

"And we're here to deliver it," Kayo added with a determined expression. "We've got your back, Wendy."

Wendy's eyes widened in surprise and relief as she saw Kolra and Kayo standing by her side. They had grown into capable individuals, ready to take on the challenges of Neospace.

Kolra, still the playful sibling, couldn't resist teasing Kayo. "Hey Kayo, look at that, Purgus is here" she said, nudging him with an elbow. "You know, Wendy's got some competition now with Purgus around. What will you do about it in this battle?"

Kayo blushed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "N-Now's not the time for jokes, Kolra! We need to focus on the task at hand."

Kolra chuckled but nodded in agreement. She knew that this was a serious situation, and they needed to work together to overcome it. Deep down, she cherished Wendy's happiness and wanted to support her in any way she could.

Maer gave a glare towards the two of them "Yenza, Liona, handle Wendy. I'll take care of these two."

Maer unleashes a glimpse of her power and they could all feel the immense power radiating from her. Maer, the Deity Queen, possessed strength and skill that surpassed all of them. Nonetheless, the siblings refused to back down, fueled by their determination to protect Wendy and bring an end to the oppression they had faced.

Kayo, his eyes filled with determination, stepped forward. "Maer, we won't let you harm Wendy or anyone else any longer. Prepare to face the consequences of your actions!"

Kolra, equally determined, smirked. "Yeah, it's time to teach you a lesson in humility, Deity Queen or not!"

The Deity Queen Looked stunned. "The Audacity of these 'Children!'" she thought.

Maer unleashed her energy, and begins to engage in a fierce battle with Kolra and Kayo.

"You Children are in need of a good Spanking.."

Meanwhile, Wendy faced the daunting task of taking on both Yenza and Liona. Yenza, fueled by his anger and loyalty to Howl, attacked with ferocity, while Liona's teenage rage drove her forward. Wendy, drawing upon her own skills and determination, dodged and counterattacked, trying to find an opening amidst their relentless assault.

Liona shaped her energy, Wendy could feel the intense power building up around her. The air crackled with electricity as Liona's energy took the form of fierce lions. Wendy braced herself for it, ready to defend against the imminent attack; however, Yenza's voice shattered the tense atmosphere.

"Enough!" Yenza's voice echoed. His eyes blazed with an intensity that demanded attention. "I will no longer stand by and watch as you tarnish our family's honor, Wendy. You have brought nothing but shame and disgrace upon us!"

Liona, frustrated by her brother's behavior, rolled her eyes. "Yenza, stop acting like a child! We need to work together to defeat her. This isn't the time for your personal vendetta."

Yenza's face twisted with rage as he clenched his fists. "No, Liona! I won't let you get in my way. This is my fight, my battle, my glory! You stay out it and I'll settle it myself! Don't you dare start to fight her no matter what!"

Wendy observed their conflict, recognizing the opportunity it presented. While they argued amongst themselves, Wendy seized the moment to catch her breath and gather her strength. She knew that if she could exploit their internal discord, she might be able to turn the tide of the battle in her favor.

Liona stops her attack and folds her arms "Fine, but 'if' you lose, Mother won't be happy."

Yenza, with a determined expression on his face, locked eyes with Wendy. The tension in the air was thick as they prepared to engage in a one-on-one battle.

"Wendy, prepare yourself. This fight will be different from any other! I've trained tirelessly, honing my skills and unlocking new techniques. Today, I will prove my strength and surpass the limits of my previous battles."

Wendy, undeterred by Yenza's words, met his gaze with unwavering determination. She could sense the power radiating from him, indicating that he had indeed grown even stronger in the past years. She knew that she had to stay focused and adapt to his tactics.

With a steady voice, Wendy replied, "Yenza, I won't underestimate you. I've witnessed your growth firsthand, but just know this, I won't back down. I will fight .... I will fight with everything I have to protect what I believe in and free this kingdom from the tyranny this family is putting it on it!"
