Chapter 17:

It was finally the day of the execution, all the teams were already in position and were waiting for the signal to start the plan, Eléonore was currently standing near the execution platform, she had been forced to dress in commoners clothes in order to blend in with the crowd, this coupled with the heat, and that she had been standing in that place for several hours made her extremely angry… well that she was in her husband execution was probably the main reason, but the other things didn't exactly help.

A little time past noon, the people on the execution platform began to move and after a while they brought the prisoner for today show… god, the sight of her husband almost famished and severally beaten was something Eléonore was not prepared to see… her poor Al, she would definitely punish the bastards that did this to him.

After that, Al was put on the platform, the executioner, a large man with a black mask on his face kicked him behind the knees in order for him to kneel down and get into the guillotine, Eléonore was almost to the point of just blowing everything off, however she calmed down when she saw the sign that the operation had begun, a simple hand wave from one of the balconies indicated that one of the leaders had already been 'disposed of' and that prince Alfred was already active.

Then it was time for the old man to arrive, he came into the platform with his head all high, and took his time to look at the crowd that had gathered in front of the platform, it seemed the prince was right and he was going to give a speech.

"My dear germanian brothers, the time have finally come to get rid of that useless royal family…"

'Useless' the brothers all worked hard to keep the country peaceful and prosper, yet all this old man did was whining about anything that he didn't like…

"Not so long ago, we brought divine justice to the king who didn't care about his people. Today, we will get rid of the prince who for so long ignored his duty and did nothing for this country wellbeing."

What the… Al worked just as hard as everyone to help the country… sure he did mostly paper work… but that was because it was something that no one else wanted to do, he took the worst possible job that he was terrible at, and allowed his brothers to be loved by the people while he did nothing but sign a mountain of papers each day…. But he really thought that his work was making a difference, and it was, he contributed far more than this stupid old man.

The sneak attack on the door had already started and several leaders had been disposed of already, but there was still a little time before her team had to act... however Just as the speech continued Eléonore suddenly just couldn't hold it anymore and began walking towards the platform… maybe it was because all the guards were paying attention to the speech, maybe it was because she looked like a demon, but she managed to make her way into the execution platform without problems.

"This prince even had the nerve to marry a woman for another country, as if germanian women weren't good enough for him; he had to marry that flat chested hag…"

Suddenly the general stopped talking as the crow went silent, Eléonore was standing behind him, and let's just say that if looks could kill, everyone on the city would be dead. As the old man turned to see what made the crowd quiet, he was greeted with a nice kick on the family jewels, as he fell into his knees from the pain, Eléonore gave a little speech on her own.

"Who are you calling flat chested you stupid old man, for your information Al is very happy with my breasts and he enjoys them a lot whenever he can… not that is any of your business, you impotent waste of breathing air."

The general looked at her with a face that spelled 'how did you knew that?' then he tried to look around to seek for help, however everyone he saw was paralyzed by fear and couldn't even move, as he tried desperately to run away, Eléonore forced him to stand up before delivering the final blow.

"You stupid old man, you know just how hard it was for me to find a good man to marry at my age? … As if I would just let you take my beloved away from me that easy you bastard. "

Eléonore then gave the general a right jab to his face, she could fell his chin shattering as she did… god it felt good… anyway the old man flew several meters before landing into the crowd (apparently still alive, unfortunately.) Eléonore then turned to the executioner, the large man shivered, as in her eyes there wasn't just your typical anime anger fire, but rather the flames of hell itself that were staring at him.

"Untie him… NOW!"

The executioner almost… no wait he did wet his pants when she spoke to him, he obeyed her orders and then fled the scene as fast as he could, She helped his husband stand up and held him between her arms.

"You idiot, what did you think you were doing? How could you try to leave me alone?"

Eléonore slapped him but without much strength behind it…

"Ouch, honey it wasn't my fault, I just wanted to…"

"No excuses, you have to be punished for making me worry about you…"

As Al was preparing to receive another slap, she kissed him instead, it was a passionate kiss completely oblivious of the fact that they were in the middle of enemy territory without any means of escaping… but she didn't care about such trivial things.

"Listen, you can't leave me yet, we have so many things to do, places to visit and children to make… but the most important thing is I still haven't said something to you…"

Eléonore blushed redder that he had ever seen her and then yelled at the top of her lungs.

"I LOVE YOU!!!"

As she said this the door to the city was open suddenly and the royal army entered the place, thanks to the fact that most of the rebel soldiers were too stunned for the previous scene, the battle was over quickly and there were barely any casualties on either side.

Of course Eléonore and Al were oblivious of this as they had locked into another kiss… you know if it wasn't because he collapsed after that, they probably would have ended 'making children' immediately after.

After the battle was over, Eléonore was resting with Al on a room in a captured inn on the city, as Saito, Louise, Kirche and Alfred discussed the events of the day in the lobby of said inn.

"I just can't believe what happened today… your sister it just as awesome as you Miss Hiraga, I mean to singlehandedly rescue my brother and do so without being hurt or causing a single casualty… she didn't even had to cast a spell, it was amazing."

Louise was blushing red and remained quiet; it was Saito who spoke next.

"Yeah, I was pretty surprised to find out I didn't marry the scariest sister."

"Hey… That was pretty obvious… I'm not that scary…" Louise pouted.

Saito chuckled a little and gave Louise a little kiss on her cheek. "Well you majesty, I hope you understand but me and my wife are tired from today battle and we would like to take a rest."

The prince nodded "Sure, I'll take care of things here, but before you go, I would like to thank you as well, it's true that it was Eléonore san who gave us such an easy victory, but without your help we couldn't had succeeded either."

"No problem, the attack on the door was a piece of cake… now if you excuse us."

Saito and Louise took their leave, they also stayed in one of the rooms of the inn.

"Well dear cousin, I have to admit, those people were as amazing as you said they were."

"Didn't I tell you darling 'chuckle', anyway what happens now?"

"Well, since the leaders are down, I expect the rebellion to surrender as the news spreads, so everything should be peaceful and back to normal in about a month or so."

Kirche gave a little sigh "I wasn't talking about that dummy, I mean… if you didn't noticed Saito and Louise just went to make love, and Elle chan and Alphonse will probably do it when they wake up if they haven't already… so how about us?… you aren't going to leave me alone tonight… right?"

Alfred chuckled and whispered into her ear "Of course not."
