Dantriel swung his sword in the air and ordered the cage to be opened and the monster to be released. All the generals put their hands on their swords, tense because they didn’t know if those weapons would be effective against that formidable creature.

Ethan told them.

“Don’t worry, Dantriel will finish him off quickly.”

The cage door opened, and the monster shot out like an arrow towards Dantriel. He remained motionless until it was close enough for him to stab it with his sword. The creature screamed in pain; the sword had cut the creature, and a black liquid was oozing from the wound. Dantriel moved as fast as a leopard and attacked the creature repeatedly, without giving it a chance to counterattack. He kept cutting until he cut it to pieces and killed it.

Everyone was astonished; Dantriel’s skill was magnificent. At that moment, Arthur realized that they were not just being arrogant; without a doubt, they were excellent warriors.

Dantriel shook his sword to clean off the remaining black blood and said.

As you can see, our weapons are effective.”

Alessandro addressed his generals.

“As you have witnessed, they are our allies and are here to fight alongside us. Their weapons are effective and are the only ones capable of killing those monsters.”

Arthur knew it was impossible to kill those monsters with normal weapons as they had proven themselves, but a question crossed his mind: how did they manage to kill the monsters that attacked them at the ball? But he didn’t want to ask it, as it was neither the place nor the time to do so, so he kept it for later.

Abril was in her room when she felt a strange presence that gave her chills. It was the same presence she had felt during the ball; without a doubt, it was a creature born of darkness. She peeked out from the balcony but immediately remembered what Alessandro had asked her. Not to go out, to stay in her room. She returned to the room after a quick glance and confirmed that there was no danger.

That afternoon, she continued pacing back and forth waiting for Alessandro to arrive. While she was doing so, she heard her mother’s voice in her mind.

“Abril.”

“What’s wrong, Mom?”

“I want to show you something, but to do so, you must sleep.”

Abril looked towards the balcony; the sun hadn’t set yet. It was too early to go to sleep, and besides, she didn’t want to because she wanted to be awake when Alessandro arrived.

“Must it be right now?”

“Yes, what I want to show you is important, my little one.”

Abril knew that when her mother said it was important, it truly was. She went to bed, laid down, and said,

“I’ll try, but I’m not sure if I can fall asleep; I’m not tired.”

“Don’t worry about that, I’ll help you sleep, just close your eyes.”

Abril closed her eyes, and within a few minutes, she fell asleep, or so she thought. She saw herself lying on the bed, and she got scared, thinking she had died.

“Am I dead?”

Her mother appeared by her side and reassured her.

“Calm down, my child, you’re not dead. Your spirit has temporarily left your body.”

Sophia extended her hand and said,

“Take my hand, there’s a place I must take you.”

Abril trusted her mother. She took her hand, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself in a place that felt familiar. It was the old, dilapidated section of the castle, which had been her home since she was very young, where she prayed to the heavens every day to help her live one more day.

“Why have you brought me here, Mom?”

“Just wait, and you’ll find out.”

Abril kept looking at the corners of that room and wished to leave. The bad memories she had of that place flooded her mind.

“I don’t want to be here, Mom.”

“I know, but you need to bear it a little longer.”

Abril waited another minute, but that minute felt like an eternity. She was about to tell her mother she wanted to leave when suddenly someone entered the room. They looked a bit

different, but Abril recognized her, it was her sister Cira. She was dressed in a black gown that seemed to be made of clouds of black smoke surrounding her body. She looked around and threw several pieces of furniture in the dilapidated room as though she were searching for something. Abril wondered what her sister was doing there, since she only visited her to torture her with magic, as she had always shown her great hatred.

Enzo entered the room and, seeing his sister destroying the few pieces of furniture still left in that room, asked her,

“What are you doing here, Cira?”

After throwing some vases, Cira replied,

“I’ve just come to reminisce about that bitch; the days drag on until we meet again.”

“What does that mean, Cira?”

Cira approached Enzo, but he stepped back, frightened. Cira laughed and said,

“You’re such a coward, little brother. You still fear me. It’s because of who you are that our father gave me your place and made me his successor.”

“I don’t think that’s the reason. I think it’s because of what’s inside you.”

“Because of my intelligence?”

“No, because of your wickedness. I believe that’s why our father gave you my place.”

Cira let out a sharp laugh and replied,

“Our father saw that you were weak. That’s why he cast you aside, because you’re unfit to be

king.”
