Beatrix was in her quarters, sitting in the chair in the corner of the room. As her mind sat blank she heard the whispers of the people of the world that feared her. "cold blooded woman, monster, merciless sword man, monster, cold-blooded…Beatrix…Beatrix"
She looked over at a sword that sits at the mantle piece by the fireplace. It was just a normal broad sword, but it was treated like it was a prized artifact. She lifts herself from the chair and walks up to it.
"Where did it all go wrong?
It's me, I must escape.
My burdens, I can't erase.
The lover, I might have saved."
She paced the room, as she relived that moment when her lover Benedict, was stabbed, and her eye was slashed by her fiancée Maximillian. She turned back to the sword and continued,
"Benedict, I need you now.
Look what I've become.
The nightmare that they should fear
is the woman you left alone!"
She collapses on her bed holding her head, hearing more of the ghostly whispers
"Cold blooded woman, monster, merciless swordsman"
She relive more of the past. She remembered her taking Benedict's sword, stabbing Maximillian, and ignoring Benedict's desperate gasps for air. Beatrix turned her head back to the sword she was confessing to.
"The years roll by without you, Benedict.
12 have come and gone.
I tried to live my life with the best intention.
But there is something I must tell you.
I am lost without you here.
I am only living out a lie!"
She pushed herself out of bed with such force she did not notice she was already near the sword. She paced back and forth yelling at the sword. Benedict's calm, dead face haunted her mind.
"And I can never leave.
This Kingdom is my everything.
Nothing can bring you back.
This life is all I have!"
The ghostly whispers, "Cold blooded woman, monster, merciless swordman," follow her in her memories. She remembered running to Dr. Tot's house, begging him to help her leave Treno. Her face was half-healed, and blood was stuck in her long locks. He took her arm and they both ran to the Gargant Rul in the basement. She then remembers kneeling before the Queen, who is holding an Army recruitment parchment in-front of her.
"The years roll by without you, Benedict.
12 have come and gone.
I tried to live my life with the best intentions.
But there is something I must tell you.
I am lost without you here.
I am only living out a lie!"
The two short demented jesters Zorn and Thorn enter her room, jumping up and down, "General Beatrix, intruders in the Queen's quarters!"
"Come quickly, Eliminate intruders, you must!" Beatrix smirked at the two jesters. She flipped her shoulder length brown hair, and picked up her sword that was resting next to the door.
"I'm the monster!
I'm the villain!
What perfection!"
She pulled out her sword as she headed down the hall where her opponents met her.
"What precision!
Keen incisions, I deliver!
Scathed corpses, I deliver!
Victorious women, I deliver!
I'm General Beatrix, Legal Assassin!"
She kicked the door open where she met Captain Steiner, and the scoundrels that kidnapped the princess.
