Chapter 585 - Five Hundred And Eighty-five: Vengeance
The third point of view:
Everything happened very quickly. One moment, the prince and his people left, the next, one of the guards stationed at the entrance began to shoot at the other guards causing a huge commotion as people screamed and ducked for their life. In a twinkle of an eye, all of the guards were down.
In the middle of the commotion, Isabella quickly picked her phone and typed, "SOS: all of the guards down in the chapel. One up. Approach with caution. Don't be stupid, you can't outrun a bullet,"
"All of you down now!" The guard boomed at the people running up and down in the chaos. He then began to shout sporadically in the air forcing everyone to fall to the ground, covering their heads and ears.
In no time, the racket died down and what was heard was whimpering from the scared people and cries from the kids.
"Now, that's more like it," The guard smirked at their cooperation.
Reina and Isabella's eyes connected and the young girl shook her head, gesturing at her not to do anything stupid. Reina sighed, Isabella was right.
Although they could overpower him if they all rushed at him, the guard was skilled and had a weapon, nor could she tell the remaining bullets. How many casualty losses would there be? Who would sacrifice their life nor was she ready to have anyone sacrifice their life? In one word, retaliation was too risky.
"What is the meaning of this?" her royal majesty, the queen, was the only one brave enough to stand up.
"What do you think your royal majesty?" The guard teased her, "I'm just keeping you safe for when his majesty, the king, Albert, comes to take you," he was not ashamed to acknowledge someone else as his king in front of the current monarchy.
"Y-you!" the queen's heart rate went up.
"He's that guard I saw that day," Neon said in a low tone but because the chapel was deadly silent, the wave carried his voice across.
The guard laughed, "Of course, you saw me but you couldn't identify me and your dumb queen was too ignorant,"
"You don't have to do this," the queen said to him, "Whatever Lord Albert promised you, I can do that tenfold,"
The man snorted, "You had all the time to do it yet you didn't. What makes you think I'll believe you," He added, "Moreover, it king Albert, not, Lord Albert, because he would win this war," he grinned, "I'll make sure of it,"
His future was tied to Lord Albert, so of course, he had to win. If Albert failed, he might as well take away his own life - the queen would not let him live.
"Now, I'll advise you to lay on the ground like the others," He ordered the queen.
"What? No?!" Emily stood to her defense, "She can't do that, she's the queen! That's disrespectful to the crown!"
The others on the ground voiced their disapproval as well. They didn't support that - it was the biggest disgrace to the queen.
"In case you don't know this yet but the instant that rebellion started, your queen lost her power and title. So I advise you to behave," He pointed the gun at Emily while speaking to the queen, "King Albert might have ordered for you to be kept alive, but the same can't be said for your would have been daughter-in-law or anyone else in here," He hinted he wouldn't hesitate to shoot at will.
"How could you -" Emily was still saying when the captain cocked his gun at her.
"Emily!"
"Mother!"
Everyone was concerned for her safety.
"You don't have to do that," The queen said to him before getting on her knees and then, laid flat on the ground.
"Your majesty!" Everyone bellowed in shock. But then, they could only shout and watch without doing anything.
The queen nodded at Emily who got back down to the floor. She appreciated her effort in defending her dignity, but it was her turn to save their lives.
And just like that, the hall quieted down once more with the captain watching their movements like a hawk. But that was until a knock sounded on the door.
Everyone stiffened yet showed a hint of hope. Whoever that was outside that door could be their enemy or savor or a deadweight - they don't know if whoever that was would be able to overpower the captain.
"Help me! Open up, please!" a feminine voice sounded from behind the door and they all let out a groan.
What hope? There was no hope at all. What could a female do to help? Cry and beg for mercy?
But unlike the others, Isabella's face was full of anticipation. She hoped those idiots were smart for once.
Cautiously, the captain went over to the door and peeped through the hole only to discover it was the kid's etiquette teacher. What was her name again? Ah, Jacqueline. Well, it wouldn't hurt to have more company.
The tension in his body went out at once and he opened the door without sensing the imminent threat. The captain opened the door for Miss. Jacqueline who flashed a grateful smile at him only for it to be shoved hard at his face.
"Ugh," He groaned, stumbling back as the two guys got out of their hiding position. The captain had not seen them because they had been hiding at the side and used Jacqueline as a distraction.
"You!" The captain gritted his teeth and was just about to reach for his rifle when Pedro bent and swung a bolas which entangled around his feet and he fell to the ground. Before he could grab his gun, Julie had already kicked it away and landed a punch at his face.
"That's for Allen, Ailee, and Neon," the man made the kids look like fools in front of the queen.
Another punch.
"That's for Anabelle!"
Pedro pulled Julie aside to give the captain a taste of his own fist, "That's for putting my girlfriend, Isabella, in danger,"
By the time they had finished avenging everyone, the captain had been beaten into an unrecognizable pulp.
