I don't own White Knight Chronicles besides the OCs! ENJOY!
Something was shaking me awake and i woke up to see Raus with the sky at night. "Good your awake." Raus said. "Took you long enough sleepy head." I heard Yulie said. I look down to see everyone but Leonard. "Well hey i haven't had any rest last night alright?" I ask still groggy. I looked ahead to see Leonard looking at the sky and i realized we were at Balandor.
"Oh man. It's way past dark. I told Rapacci we'd be back before sunset. I am dead." Leonard complained as he grabbed his head. "Me and my sister were late sometimes but our superiors never yelled." I said as Cass glared at me. Alright we missed the bus during my Middle School years sometimes but not that far.
"Well moaning about it isn't going to speed us up." Yulie said. "She's right Leonard. We still got this wine to deliver." Vet said. "My sincerest apologies chief." Raus said feeling guilty about being late. "Hey don't go blaming yourself Raus. You at least made a small mistake." I told Raus trying to make him feel better. Raus smiled at me while Cass ask "If you like him so bad why don't you adopt him?"
I yelled at her while Raus looks away "Hey!" Leonard, Vet, and Yulie all chuckled. The beast growled softly as i got off and walked beside the beast while gently scratching it and said "Tired boy? Keep going. Your almost done kay?" Leonard, Yulie, and Vet pushed the back of the wain while me and Cass just walk.
The trio gave up and all of us walked. Then when we got closer to the gate we saw the Marcus Revelers and i see Belcitane as the ringleader. Feeling he's being watched Belcitane turned to look at me as i stick my tongue out at him. Belcitane's face contorted of anger before we walked out. Cass grabbed me and ask angrily "What were you doing?" She must've saw what i did. I got her to let go of me before replying "Just giving a bad guy an insult." As i walked ahead of her.
I chuckled at the thought of that fat idiot wanting to take revenge. "Look somethings going on!" Yulie said pointing at the Marcus Revelers. Marcus Revelers? More like Disguise Magi. They sure are a good act though. "Ooh! I just love festivities!" Raus said. "Sorry guys. Delivery first. Celebrations second." Cass said as they all pout.
I tapped Leonard shoulder as i ask him "What's the occasion?" "The princess' coming of age day." Leonard said as Cass started to listen. "What do you mean?" She ask. "Balandor's princess Cisna is about to turn 18 so we are putting this up to welcome her. It's been 10 years since she haven't speak." Leonard answered. "Why didn't she speak?" Cass ask. "Because she saw her mother killed in front if her by a Farian assassin." Leonard answered as Cass gasp.
That assassin was High Priest Ledom of the Magi. He is disguise here as someone a trustworthy man of the king Sarvain. He also framed Faira because they have attack the castle before Floraine was killed. While we walk i saw Eldore disguise as the old man from the beginning looking for something. I ask him "Need some help sir?" Eldore looked at me before saying "No thank you." I nodded before i walked back to them. "He helps everything. Elderly, Young, Animals, even Evil when their in trouble." Cass explained.
We walked toward the guards as one of them said "Who are you?" Me and Leonard answered "Rapacci Wines sirs. We're here to deliver tonight's wine." "All right. We've been expecting you. ...though you were suppose to be here hours ago." One of the guards said. The other guard approached and ask rudely "Where the hell have you been?" I tried my best resisting the urge to hit the guard's arm i said "Sir please language." He looked at me before saying "Shut up brat. And merchants shouldn't keep the castle waiting!"
Cass was about to yell until Leonard said "Well you see we were attacked by a monster on the way to the warehouse and-" he was cutoff by the guard. "Stuff the excuses and get that wine inside now!" He yelled as points toward the entrance. I couldn't help it i yelled in anger "Well excuse us sir! You should know that a troll attacked us before stupidly jumping to conclusions!" As we walked past them. Ignoring the guard yelling at me to come back i said "Dumb idiot! He better have a heart i'll be gladly to serve him again. If it's a foot to the groin!"
Yulie chuckled, Vet was surprised at my outburst, Raus was shocked hearing me yell like that, Leonard was just shocked, Cass was just smiling at me for teaching that stupid guard a lesson. "Is he always like that?" Leonard ask. "Only if he's mad. I used to be picked on when i was little. When he heard about it he promised himself he will stop people being rude, boss people around, and getting picked on. Sounds like sweet promise if you ask me." Cass said.
You never know Cass. You never know. I turned to everyone saying "Sorry bout that. I detest people who treat others like that." "No worries i feel that same." Yulie said. "Next time try to keep your anger in." Vet said. "Don't worry Bailey that was an honest mistake." Raus said. "No prob it was necessary." Leonard said. "You treat that dumbass right." Cass said. I glared at her before saying "Language." She shrugged before we continued forward.
We stopped where the lady was before Leonard said "Good evening ma'am. Here's your wine order." The lady turned to us before saying "Thank you lad. This will do fine." "Right we'll be off then..." Leonard said as the lady nodded. I tapped Leonard's shoulder as i pointed toward the castle door that has a gap.
He looked at it before running to it catching the others' attention. "Whoa what are you doing!?" Yulie yelled. "We can't go in there!" Cass yelled. "What's wrong with one quick peek?" Leonard ask before we entered. I heard Raus yelled "Oh dear! Miss Yulie, Chief, Bailey! What am i luggage?"
Note to self: Apologize to Raus later. I thought. I saw people looking royal dancing, eating snacks, or talking. "Whoa cool!" Leonard admired. I slowly run while Cass followed and Yulie, Leonard, and Vet didn't notice. We walked up the stairs and i saw behind a pillar King Valtos the king of Balandor. I saw Cyrus the castle captain looking around for suspicious activity. And i saw the old man Sarvain AKA High Priest Ledom standing beside Valtos.
Cass whispered "Next time try to warn someone!" "Sorry." I replied sarcastically. I saw on the stairs was a few servants, and Princess Cisna herself. Cisna is wearing a pink dress, red slippers, light brown long hair, and a crown on her head. Everyone stopped what their doing and see Princess Cisna as she smiles. I sneaked toward Valtos without anyone noticing and whispered to his ear "Your majesty Sarvain is a disguise assassin who killed your wife." Shocked Valtos turned to look at me and i whispered "Don't let him ruin this ball. But if you see him as a black clad man run." I whispered as he nodded.
I sneaked back to Cass without anyone noticing and said "Where's everyone?" She replied "Behind us." I saw everyone behind us. I looked back to see Valtos glaring at Sarvain. "Leonard what are you doing?" Yulie ask. "Staring at Cisna." I answered without taking my eyes off the angry king.
"It's rude to stare at loyalty you know." I heard Yulie scolding Leonard. I know by now that Belcitane and the Magi had unleash their attack with the Pyredaemos. "My noble friends. I thank you all for coming here to celebrate this special day with my daughter. How proud the late Queen would be. It has been ten years since my beloved wife was lost to me. Today the daughter she gave me my dearest Cisna celebrates her eighteenth birthday. The kindness you have shown her has made this day possible. For that you have my deepest gratitude. Please enjoy the evening's festivities. Glory to Balandor!" Valtos gave his speech out.
"Glory to Balandor!" Everyone yelled out. I saw that Cisna was sad and i feel bad for her. Seeing a parent killed in front of you is so painful to look at. I don't blame her. Deciding to make her feel better i walked toward her and tapped her shoulder as she turned to me. "Would you like to dance princess?" I ask with a smile as i hold put my hand.
Valtos turned to us and was surprised by my act. Cisna was also surprised by my act. She smiled and grabbed my hand. We walked toward the dance floor and stopped at the middle. She put her hand on my hip and one on my shoulder i did the same and soon we started to dance. We spin, dance, slowly fell and we pull each other. We stare at each other as we do this as our dancing slowly catches everyone attention. All sadness from her face is gone.
From the corner of my eye i saw Cass smiling at me. Valtos is smiling brightly at me. Leonard is looking at me with jealousy. But Sarvain he was frowning darkly at me. And Cyrus was giving me a warning stare. As for Archduke Dalam he was only smiling. Somehow i feel that Floraine herself is telling me to keep Cisna safe. I silently promise that.
Then i saw the wounded soldier as i got me and Cisna to stop dancing as i call out "Someone is wounded!" Everyone stopped what there doing as the soldier stumbled toward Valtos. He bowed as he told his king "Your grace! A message!" "This is a celebration! What the devil is it!?" Valtos ask angrily. "The town! A terrible monster has attacked killing-" The soldier was cutoff. "A monster!?" Valtos yelled on shock.
Then we heard the Pyredaemos bursting the door open. We heard a lot of screaming as Valtos ask "What's this!?" I told Cisna "My princess I promised your mother i'll keep you safe and i will keep it that way!" She blushed as i saw Sarvain smirking darkly as it was saying 'We shall see you little brat.' I grabbed her hand as some Magi soldiers climbed up with the Pyredaemos and DAMN that thing is bigger in person!
I ran toward Valtos with Cisna in tow. I told both of them as i take out my sword "Stay close your highness, and your grace." I heard Cyrus commanded "Don't let them any closer to the king! Attack!" As the castle guard got themselves ready. I said "Come on!" As we ran toward the stairs. I saw a Magi soldier running towards us as i blocked a slash from him. I did a back slash as he fell to the floor dead.
We continued to run and we ran up the stairs until he shows himself. The black clad General of the Magi Dragius or Sarvain disguise as Dragius. Dragius stepped down as i got my blade ready. "Black Clad Man. Sarvain." Valtos muttered before he gasp. "Stay back." I said as me and Dragius got ready.
He slashed as i blocked it and i slash back in response before he dodged it. I slash twice but he blocked the slashes and he punch my nose i stepped back while holding my nose. Dragius tried to thrust but i dodge them and i back slashed but he avoided it. He did his Tourbillon as it pushed me back while i hit the floor.
He turned his sights on Valtos before he stabbed the king with his blade as Valtos gasped and fell to the floor. Cisna looked in horror before she said after ten years "Father... No... No! Father please! Please don't die!" I got up and notice their is a slash wound on my shoulder. Not serious so i'm alright.
"Ah Cisna... At last... I hear your voice again... How i have missed missed the sound of it..." Valtos said weakly. "Father!" Cisna cried as i stared at horror. "Boy... please... keep my daughter safe..." Valtos begged me. I said seriously "That i promise your majesty and name's Bailey." Valtos smiled weakly as he told Cisna "Go... you must. My... beautiful daughter..." Valtos then gave his last breath.
I only feel bad for the new orphan princess as she cried "No I won't leave you! I don't want to be alone! Please... Father... No... NO!" I saw Dragius about to stab her until i quickly blocked it. "You will not harm her!" I yelled as Dragius growled. "Stupid brat." Dragius said in his deep voice in his helmet. I saw Leonard running as i yelled out "Hey Leonard get Cisna to safety!" Leonard turned and yelled back "Will do!"
I didn't notice Dragius was about the thrust until i turned back to him and he did it on my left arm. It wasn't through the bone but it hurt. I screamed in pain as i grabbed his shoulder and whispered in his ear "I know what you did Sarvain." Dragius quickly looked at me in shock before yelling "How do you know who i am!?" I blocked three of his slashes before replying "Disguises don't fool me." I made sure Cisna, and Leonard left with Cisna protested before i said "I also know you killed Queen Floraine of Balandor."
Dragius growled before he yelled "You know too much!" I blocked three more of his slashes before saying "But your lucky i'll keep your identity a secret." He looked at me like i was crazy. "Serious?" He ask. "Seriously." I said with a smirk. Dragius said "Thank you." Before he punched me down over the ledge. I got up in pain a little before looking up. I can't find Dragius anywhere. I looked behind me to see another Dragius i know which one that is. Kara the pactmaker of the Black Knight. I also saw Belcitane no longer in disguise killing Dalam.
I looked around for everyone until i saw someone i hope i'll not see for sometime. Shapur that no good, murdering, freaking, cold-blooded assassin of the Magi! Shapur has short green hair with a couple of braids, wearing grey armor with marks on them, grey shoulder pads, black pants, armor boots, a black eyepatch, black Farian horns, and carring a sword. I witness him killing a solider. Fueled with rage of him i charged while screaming catching his attention.
Before i can slash the Kara Dragius jumped in front of Shapur and blocked the strike and kicked me away. "You know brat. Carrying a dangerous weapon is against the law." I heard Kara said in her Dragius voice. "Not as much as seeing a parent killed in front of you." I said as i held my sword tightly. "Brats these days." Shapur said. "And stupid people like you these days." I countered. Shapur's face was turned to a anger face as he yelled "You little-!"
"Ah! General Dragius, Shapur. That's the brat who i told you two about." Belcitane said as he walks forward. Wow I didn't know Belcitane is also a tattle tell. "Heh. Maybe we should teach him a lesson." Kara said as they all nodded. "I beat up a troll i lot prettier then you three numbheads." I taunted as we went into stances.
