Zavian was forced to sit on a chair before cold water was thrown at him.
He was forcefully tied to the chair before the Duke, and the empress walked into the cell
Zavian's blood ran cold once he saw them. "you killed my brother."
The Duke smiled coldly,"no, he died because of you."
Zavian struggled against the chair and tried to get off but couldn't, and the Duke continued, "if only he didn't care so much about you he wouldn't have had such a tragic end and see even his body is being fed to the dogs, I used to beat him so much but he still wouldn't give up on you.
I even killed the person he loved and still, he didn't let any harm come to you. What a pity."
My heart ached as I listened to all these things, "why are you doing this to me !!!WHY??"
"Because you killed the woman, I loved the most," the Duke said," even before you were born I had told her to abort you since you were always the reason she was sick, but she chose to give you birth even after knowing that you are a disaster"
Empress spoke next, "today we shall put you to some good use. A person like you who is favored by the goddess will become something which will benefit the Empire."
A chill ran down Zavian's spine as he heard her, "what is that supposed to mean?"
Duke raised a hand forward and patted Zavian's head before saying, "my dear son, we will convert you into a holy object, an object so powerful that can bring someone back from death."
Empress spoke next," an object so strong that you can conquer the world with its help."
"And in order for that to happen you have to willingly give up your life," a third voice which belonged to the Saintess echoed in the room," thus every day in this cell will be the day worse than death for you."
Duke smiled,"and it will continue till you beg for death. Your soul shall be used to create the object"
"While your bones" empress said, "will become a good weapon."
Zavian's heart was beating very fast as he heard the bone-chilling words of these people. He struggled to get out of the chains, but it was of no use
Duke picked up a dagger while the empress and Saintess watched, even the knight Elijah whose wrist was missing joined, "Now we will begin"
And soon the prison was filled with painful screams of Zavian as one by one his fingernails were ripped off then his fingers were broken before being cut off and fed to him.
Zavian cried, yelled, and begged, but no one stopped. They only laughed, he was constantly beaten by the whips so much that his skin also started to come off.
That was the first day of torture, he wasn't given any proper food after that he was only given rotten food as he was forced to sit in the same place for hours without any sunlight.
The next few days went the same way repeated torture, and pain slowly made him go mad.
Today the empress, who was in a bad mood, yelled,"just beg and die don't you get that?" She then picked up a bit dagger and stabbed Zavian's one eye with it making him yell with pain.
Every drop of blood he shed was collected and wasn't allowed to go to waste while he sat in that same dirty place for days.
Even the guards would sometimes make fun of him or beat him.
Currently, he was in immense pain sitting in that same darkroom with the voice of his breathing audible and nothing else, his one eye was gone and his fingers were cut off as well.
His legs were broken and he couldn't feel them anymore. His stomach ached and he felt hungry and thirsty.
Maybe he should give up.
Just when he was thinking like that, he heard the door open and fast footsteps approached him, he couldn't see who it was but he knew they were here to torture him, that was until he felt that chains cut and a clothe wrapped around his dirty, wounded body and he was lifted up delicately in someone's arms.
He heard soft sobbing noises as well before a familiar smell invaded his nose, "Your highness?"
"Be quiet."
"You will get into trouble if you save me."
"Shut up worry about yourself more idiot." Yug's voice was shivering.
"I apologize. I am dirty and smell horrible. You will get dirty like this."
Zavian heard a sniffling voice before a weak shivering voice spoke, "I am sorry, I couldn't come fast."
"It's okay since you are here now."
No one said anything after that Yug helped Zavian to sit on his horse, and Yug drove the horse as fast as he could.
"You know Zavian, I don't wish to rule this empire of blind people anymore."
"I wish to ruin this empire, and all these people who in the name of being innocent, are free to curse and kill anyone."
Zavian didn't say anything, he just nodded. Yug's warmth gave him comfort but that didn't last anymore since they were soon attacked by other people.
Yug's horse was shot first, and they both fell to the ground. Yug quickly picked up Zavian and tried to run towards the forest but a group of civilians stopped them.
"SEE THAT THE SON OF A TRAITOR IS HELPING A TRAITOR!!!"the yelled.
"THEY SHOULD BE KILLED KILL THEM"
Yug and Zavian were surrounded. Yug attacked a few people and didn't care whether they lived or died and ran towards the forest until he was shot with an arrow in the foot.
The two fell to the ground after that Yug couldn't walk anymore so he took out his dagger and gave it to Zavian." I am pretty sure you don't want to go back there, and you are not safe in this kingdom anymore.
So take this knife and free yourself because I can't do it"
Yug smiled and looked at Zavian, who was slowly looking back at him and crying tears of blood," I am sorry your highness because of me you..."
Yug didn't say anything he just hugged Zavian, "I am glad to have a friend like you Zavian, I wish we could spend some more time together. I wanted to know more about you but I couldn't. I hope you end up somewhere good, Zavian.
Goodbye."
With that Yug ran towards the crowd of so-called 'innocents' beforehand was captured by them and beaten to pulp with sticks rods and everything the crowd could grab before oil was poured on him.
He gave Zavian one last smile and Zavian cried and cried as he watched the third prince being burned to his death.
When he saw people coming toward him, Zavian aligned the dagger in his heart before pushing it all the way into his chest.
"Hail goddess Ankh..."
Those were his last words before his body went limp.
Zavian felt warm and cosy. He felt his head being placed on a very soft object while he was being engulfed in a protective hug."Zavian."Someone's soft voice called out his name, gently and slowly some patted his head, "wake up Zavian."The sweet honey-laced voice invaded his ears, as he slowly opened his eyes, he found himself in a beautiful place.He also saw the face of the owner of that melodious voice. It was a beautiful woman with pale skin and beautiful black eyes which shined like a galaxy.Her brown hairs were long, and she wore a beautiful flower crown, as she smiled at Zavian as if she was looking at her child."Are you finally awake?"It didn't take long for Zavian to recognise this woman, the same woman about whom he had been hearing since he was born, the woman he had worshipped all his life."Goddess Ankh," Zavian said slowly and smiled when the realisation hit him that he was finally in the protective arms of h
Zavian opened his eyes and this time he wasn't with the goddess anymore. instead, he was lying in his room on his bed.Was everything that happened a dream? The thought made him quickly sit straight on his bed before he tried to get down from the bed.But to his surprise, the bed was really huge, and he fell to the ground."Ow." he hissed and then noticed his hands and feet were actually tiny and that of a child.Zavian opened and closed his fist and moved his leg before running on his tiny legs to look at the mirror.And indeed he was turned into a kid. He touched his face and felt his body. There was actually no pain.A sudden smile appeared on his face, judging by the condition of his room looks like he has returned to the time before the accident.Great, just great since he knows the future, he can control the things which will happen.There are many people on his to-kill list, but before anything, he needs to remaster his
"Zavian, let's go and play before the teacher comes," Simon said and grabbed Zavian's hand, dragging him.Zavian only smiled at his brother even though he has to go to the temple. For now, he will delay that and focus on his brother.Ten years, he and his brother had lost ten years of their life.Zavian played with his brother to his heart's content, till they both collapsed on the ground."Young masters."Zavian's smile and cheerfulness suddenly vanished when he heard that voice. He saw another person on his kill list.The head butler Dylan Roy.He looked young and more energetic. In his last life, he was the person who was smiling when his brother was brutally killed and he was the one who threw his brother's body to feed the dogs.Dylan came to them and helped Simon to stand up, and brushed his clothes, even though Zavian wanted to pull his brother back and cut off the Butler's hand for touching his brother, he had to contro
Zavian had a good life. He had a loving, caring, and innocent mother and a cool, strong, powerful, wealthy father, and a protective and well-behaved elder brother. Then what could go wrong? His father was loving, very loving in fact, but it was no hidden fact that he loved his mother more than anything, and perhaps that was the very reason for every tragedy. When Zavian was born the Oracle predicted his future, in a loud clear voice he said, "This child will be blessed by goddess Ankh, he will be her favorite child and shall be loved by her, for him the goddess won't hesitate to go against the cosmic law" That made him even more special and also the center of envy and jealousy, but a loving family was everything he needed to be happy. Zavian believed and loved the goddess Ankh as his own mother, he had grown up listening to stories of the goddess and had her bravery and miracles, which have always fascinated him. The goddess wa
Zavian's Pov. Waking up is the most unpleasant Job inthe world. Here I was sitting on the cold bed in a dark room. The servants didn't even bother to open the curtains, not come and greet me as their master. I lost my faith in them a long time ago. I formula from my bed and opened the curtains. Looking outside. I then proceeded to take a bath in ice-cold water since no one bothered to warm it for me. Even though I am the son of Duke, I am treated like trash in this kingdom. After wearing my clothes, I went outside the room. The servants were right outside the room and didn't even bother to greet me, whereas the head butler he does not even try to hide his hate towards me. It has been ten years since my mother's death and to this day I am to be blamed. My father has been on the battlefield ever since then and my elder brother is the one who handles the affairs. I walk towards the temple to
Excitement is what I was feeling now.But now that I realized I don't have anything suitable to wear for a birthday party.With a sigh, I walked out and thankfully I spotted the head butler.His name was Dylan Roy, "Mr. Roy?" I called out to him in a clear voice, but he ignored me. I tried a few more times and both the times the results were the same. What was I even thinking?I sighed and decided to go to the store by myself. My servants, who made supposed to be serving, are walking here and there without even looking at me.I also spotted my knight, Elijah.He was a tough-looking grumpy man, only a few years older than me.There were many times I tried to initiate a conversation with him and tried to know him, but he really hates me."Mr. Elijah," I called out to him and he only looked at me with annoyance, "I am going out for a while""I see." With that, he just left.I clenched my fist tightly. A knight's duty
The next day I went to the temple early in the morning as usual. I met Silas who seemed to be sad for some reason today. He didn't call out my name cheerfully, instead, his voice was heavy. "What's wrong Silas?" For the first few seconds, he didn't say anything to me but soon he gave me a forced smile, "young, master Zavian, remember that you are blessed by the goddess right?" "That's right." "Promise me that you will not stop believing in her, no matter what happens." I was quiet for some time after listening to this peculiar request. "I understand, Silas, don't worry about that. Even if these entire Worlds stand me, I shall never abandon my goddess" After listening to my words, Silas finally smiled cheerfully before sitting beside me as we both offer our prayers to the goddess. After I was done, I was about to leave but on my way out I was met with the Saintess. This time she was really in a hurry and didn't reply to
Third person's Pov. When Yug woke up the next time he was lying inside his room, for a moment he didn't realize what was going on until he remembered what had happened. He sat up straight and he heard the voice of his knight, "your highness!!" His nanny also called out to him, " Your highness!! Are you okay?" In the entire palace, only the two who were loyal to his mother remained beside him, his most trusted person. "I am fine, but how did I get here?" "We found you outside the imperial palace. Someone was there when I reached you, but they were gone once I got you." Yug nodded, but his mind was filled with questions. How come he is cured and alive as far as he knows, black venom has no cure, then how? Did Zavian invent one? No that's not possible. Even the greatest people in history couldn't invent. one then how come fifteen-year-old child-like Zavian make one? Whatever the case is, Zavian is
