I was The Crown Prince of the Great Empire Karstia,Alvier von Karstia and when I was four my father found a baby in the woods while hunting and he adopted it just in case my mother didn’t gave birth but after two years she gave birth to my little sister Armelia and the baby was out of the succession but my father loved her more than me or my sister because of that we counted her as a family member.
We grew up together as a family,me,Armelia and Zelixia.
Armelia was a shy child with golden hair and golden eyes from my mother,I didn’t look like my mother but I looked exactly like my father black hair and green eyes,Zelixia had long red hair with blue eyes and because of this,I was with two beauties during my childhood.
But things started to go badly when I was fifteen,my mother and my father were killed.
The Great Empire Karstia was the only thing that kept humans together and because of that I had great responsibilities.
My uncle didn’t like me and he claimed he was the right heir to the throne and because of that a civil war started in the empire,and so the humanity's leash was off.
After few years of civil war I was left with a broken empire but Zelixia became the strongest human because of her I was able to unite the empire under one banner.
These wars took a toll on humanity and our population were halved,at first a border friction happened with the demon empire but soon enough every race had a border friction with my empire.
And so The Crusade Against Humans happened.
I have won many wars because of Zelixia,but this wasn’t enough and after five years Humanity United under,The Human Empire banner but Humanity was left with Two Holy Fortresses and The Holy Capital Lervian.
To get to the Holy Capital you had to pass The Holy Fortresses and The Holy Bridge those were the only ways to get to The Holy Capital because The Holy Capital was flying inside a dry volcano.
The Enemy Army was around ten million and humanity's army was around 100 thousand soldiers and the rest were civilians with swords but our army reached one million.
We had two fortresses to defend and so I split our army into two Zelixia's army took The Left Holy Fortress Letsa and I got the Right Holy Fortress Retsa.
We thought they were going to split going to split their army just like we did but this was wrong and they sieged Retsa with their numbers reaching 9 million and the one million sieged Letsa.
Seeing this I ordered the soldiers to retreat we had no chance of defending and I wasn’t going to lose my whole army
A random soldier raised their voice.
"Sir what about you"
Before the war I helped everyone I loved humans I was a kind hearted person,and during the war I was called The Hero,The Savior,The Great and everyone loved me and I was going to die here like a hero,I turned back with a smile.
"I am going to say hi to that Demon Emperor Persek"
Hearing this the whole army saluted me and started to retreat while crying and I was scared of death too.
Shit…Making me cry..I leave my army to you Zelixia.
And the last walls broke down and after fifteen minutes I was at my limit,wounded and tired,but all of a sudden they stopped attacking and they made a circle around me and they opened way for The Demon Emperor Persek.
"Filthy Prince is still alive,I have to give credits to you"
I couldn’t see anything because of my blood but still I smiled to the way his voice came and said this.
"Filthy Demon is still alive,I have to give credits to you"
"Get ready Filthy Human"
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"I am always ready"
I charged at him with my last strength,I knew I was going to die here but I felt a punch on my head and I started to black out.
"Idiot,did you think I was going to destroy the biggest weapon against that Zelixia I bet they will surrender when they see you in pain"
I felt his smile even while I was blacking out,a disgusting feeling.
I am sorry…I failed everyone..
---
Zelixia retreaded from The Left Fortress after hearing news and so they prepared to defend the bridge.
The Holy Bridge was so big that it could hold one thousand men linked with arms without any of them falling down the bridge.
Zelixia knew their morale was bad enough and because of this she was at front with her shield and her sword.
This was The Last Stand Of Humanity.
But when the crusade armies arrived Their Demon Emperor was at front with Prince Alvier,he was wounded and tortured,when the Humanity's last army saw this their morale was gone.
Even Zelixia thought of surrendering at that moment she knew she was going to lose and people were going to die because of her.
---
I felt a pain on my head someone was holding my hair like I was some toy and I opened my eyes to see my army looking at me with despair and Demon Emperor shouted with his loud voice.
"SURRENDER HUMANS WE WILL SHOW MERCY"
I looked at Zelixia,her face was covered in despair and her hands were shaking,she was going to surrender.
I have to think of something to boost the morale.
I needed to think but then even if I boosted the morale this was going to mean nothing for Zelixia,we needed her to win the battle and so I lied.
"Z-Zelixia I-I l-love you"
I am so sorry but I have to.
Everyone was shocked but after a few seconds Zelixia's face was covered in disgust and hate.
What..
She shouted.
"THAT TRAITOR TO THE HUMAN RACE MEANS NOTHING TO ME"
What is she talking about
She kept shouting.
"THAT PIECE OF TRASH KILLED THE EMPEROR AND THE EMPRESS JUST TO TAKE THE THRONE"
What are you talking about..
"THE PERSON YOU ARE HOLDING ISNT A HERO OR A PRINCE HE IS A COWARDLY TRAITOR TO THE HUMAN RACE"
What is going on…
And The Whole Army started to shout while hitting their swords on the ground or their shield just to make noise.
"TRAITOR"
"LIAR"
"MONSTER"
"COWARD"
And I saw Zelixia throwing her sword at me.
It pierced right through my heart and Demon Emperor's heart but this pain wasn’t enough,she used a cursed chant.
"Hellfire burn them"
I was covered in blue flames,this pain was the worst pain I felt in my life,I felt my bones burning.
My name was going to go down in history as a traitor to the human race,
"I have helped I have saved,I have loved humanity why Zelixia"
And I said my last words and died there,my ashes were the only thing that was left.
---
I woke up in a chair,tied up with chains and a faceless wooden puppet with a top hat and a monocle appeared before me and without a mouth,it spoke.
"Welcome to hell Prince Alvier"
"What,hell ?"
"You must be surprised,normally a person like you would go to the top space of heaven"
"Why am I here ?"
"Yes that’s the golden question"
"Then TELL ME"
I was starting to get scared of this wooden puppet and being scared made me bark more.
"Hmm I wonder why oh yeah,the cursed spell hellfire,they didn’t name it hellfire for nothing"
"SO WHAT"
"Tsch,Tsch you still don’t get it,if you taste something from hell you will go to hell and you are at the bottom of hell"
I am here because of her ?
I clenched my fists and my teeth from anger,I was betrayed by her.
"Oh yes you were totally betrayed and because of that reason I offer you a deal"
"What is it ?"
"If you kill her I will give you life simple as that"
Kill Zelixia ? Can I do it ? She betrayed me and now she has to pay the price.
"What will you gain from it"
"Hmm let's say you are worth five apples and when you go to hell I get five apples but Zelixia is worth twenty apples wouldn’t you trade five apples to twenty ?"
"I see but how will I kill her ?"
"You will return to the world as a ghost and kill her"
Return as a ghost ? I still don’t get it.
"Oh I forgot it you will have a blessing from me"
"Blessing from hell ?"
"You don’t believe me I see that’s understandable"
Out of nowhere,It pulled an white apple.
"Eat this and you will understand"
"My hands are tied down"
"Oh I will feed you then"
And when it fed me,I felt something a spurt of emotions coming inside and some of them were going outside,after few seconds I was filled with anger,despair,malice.
I WILL TAKE MY REVENGE.
"Good good now you must be seeing four bars in the corner of your sight"
I noticed the four bars.
"What are these"
"First bar shows your MH basically mental health or the person you are looking at,the second bar shows your PH physical health or the person you are looking at and the third one shows your strength,to get stronger you have to get Zelixia to believe you exist and to do that you need to hurt her MH"
"So make her crazy and make her believe I exist,that will be easy"
"There is rule you need to know"
"Tell me"
"No one should think that she is crazy"
"Wait that would be impossible because there are people who think she is already crazy"
"Okay half of the human population has to believe she is crazy fine now ?"
"Yep that works but what about the fourth bar I am seeing ?"
"Oh about that just don’t get it full or you will die"
"WHAT"
"Well I need to have some fun as well,now you have learned everything see you later"
My shackles got removed and I feel into a void.
