-Rick! Oh my Saint Meow! Are you alright? hugging me then.
-D Damnation! I cursed at my distraction I I think I am not severely w wounded Dawn-chan.
-It is very unlucky of me that this disgusting race being here said Jack, laughing with disregard just her could know who I was , don t worry small and disgusting being, I shall end you right after your owner; thanks to you I was forced to put our plans into motion earlier than expected well without the almighty Montecchio in our way, the clueless King won t have anyone in who he can trust and will be taken down sooner or later -Flee D Dawn-chan I ordered her take Akira-chan with you and go -B But I cannot leave you here! she replied shaking her head, already tearing.
-But if you stay you shall be murdered as well! I told her with pleading eyes.
-I don t care! I cannot leave behind the person that did so much for me even if it means saving my own skin! she replied, hugging me again.
-What a touching scene mocked Jack, looking at her in sequence I think I might have a little fun with you before I kill this moron.
-ONLY OVER MY DEAD BODY! - I shouted while standing up, wielding my sword on my left hand -Well well looks like I will need to arrange that, don t you think Montecchio? You useless thing - he replied still walking towards my direction.
Curses! I cursed while I tried at all costs to block and parry his attacks, although without much efficiency seeing I was using the left hand being right-handed and considering the pain I was feeling on my right shoulder; it was visible that Jack even being a nekomimi, therefore having a lot of trouble holding a knife, knew what he was doing with the weapon, being extremely skillful on the utilization of it; after a couple of better placed attack, my sword flew from my grasp falling a few feet from where I was standing, my opponent smiled and said:
-Even hurt and visibly not using your good hand, you were an opponent that almost amused me, it is a shame we haven t met in other circumstances, but now I shall eliminate you, farewell Richard - he said raising the dagger ready to strike me down.
Oh my saint Meow I thought I can t believe everything ends here! It isn t possible! And my workers? My slaves? AKIRA? Who will deal with the kingdom safety? all that raced through my mind, I slowly turned my face in L via s direction, still thinking Why L via weren t we friends? Didn t you said you loved me? Why did you betray the kingdom turning me in to the extremists why did you do that to when my eyes reached the place where she was supposed to be, they found nothing and all I saw afterwards was a blur.
The sound of something crashing against something hard penetrated my ears, making me look at the direction from where it came, there was Jack pressed against the wall, L via s paw pressing against his chest and the nobles breath hitting the opponents face; being a few inches from him, the poor thing said:
-F Fast - with big eyes.
-I am not just fast - shouted the noble, throwing Jack on the other side of the room, making him land on top of a small table that was set on the corner.
Jack groaned in pain, placing the paws on his back, right where the corner of the table hit him; and even contorting in pain he tried to stand, quickly stopped by L via who immobilized him; then, using of a voice I didn t ever hear her using, so much was the rage contained in it, ordered Kyou:
-Kyou, grab the nekomimi and take her out of here, what is about to happen won t be very pretty.
- B But I don t want to go! protested Akira, already being taken by the paw.
- Go Akira-chan! I promise that I promise that I shall meet you, now go! Kyou, take her out of here! I shouted pointing to the exit.
-What about the inumimi? asked Kyou.
-I will stay to take care of Rick! she replied promptly, without my protesting, seeing that the pain was taking away my ability to think.
Moments later Kyou was leaving the room together with Akira, closing the door in sequence; L via then looked at our antagonist and almost drooling in rage said:
-Maggot, I hope you have a good explanation for that happened here - locking even stronger Jack s arm.
-W What do you mean L via? he replied stuttering e explanation to what?
-Don t play dumb on my! shouted L via why you sold yourself to the extremists! I trusted you! You were like my most trusted agent!
-Selling myself? replied Jack still stuck under the noble I haven t sold myself! Are you insane L via?
-You didn t sell yourself? Then how do you explain what happened here?
-L via have you lost your mind? What happens here is what the extremists always planned! Wasn t that what you always aimed at Oliveira?
-No! That wasn t what I aimed! I always wanted to bring peace to all being of our race! Are you saying that you always sided with the scum? That you support the barbarians that do not use the head? That you fooled me all that time? replied L via with visible hatred on her voice.
-Betray you? Fool you? said Jack, confused with the noble statements what do you mean with that? Isn t the noble Oliveira the biggest representative of the nekomimi race? With the responsibility of representing and leading us until a direct descendant of Mewsus lineage is found? When he will guide us to the so dreamed victory? Isn t that the reason you show us the path?
Direct descendant of Mewsus lineage? I thought was it that the nekomimis were waiting to act? If it was that then when I was brought back by L via s voice:
-Not a chance insolent insect! I guide our race to peace! I had no idea who you were how could I be so blind?
-L via, are you implying that you ignored my condition and wasn t part of the movement? he replied in utter disbelief how could you be so dense?
-Insolent! the noble replied with even more rage you can insult my lack of awareness, however you never heard even a single word coming from my mouth, or order that made you believe I was part of all that or that I had knowledge you were part of that poor organization!
-I.. I cannot believe - he replied putting his paw in his pants pocket and taking out something round from inside really you never said anything about the cause finding the successor Mewsus son seize the power nothing never
At that instant the scene of his attack at my residence, at that time he looked dominated, however he let something fall to the ground; thinking on what was going to happen afterwards I tried screaming to L via before, however he was already preparing to throw that on the ground.
-L via, watch out! Cover your eyes! already covering my own.
-What? asked the noble?
Then I heard the sound of the round thing making the burst of brightness and Oliveira shouting in shock, then of surprise; the sound of someone falling over some furniture, a few quick steps towards the opposite direction of me, some hitting on the door together with it not opening, that was when he said:
-Why is it locked? punching the door even more how did you do that?
-I did a discreet signal to Kyou close the whole room, we are sealed here! she replied still with her paws over her eyes.
-Curse you! You shall pay for this treachery with your own life you whore! that was when I saw him taking his dagger again and charging against the defenseless noble nekomimi .
-Oh you are not doing that! I shouted putting myself together and standing up despite the pain, running towards him, ready to bash into him.
-Come Richard! If you wish so eagerly to die, let it be! he replied preparing his weapon.
Then I hit him with the shoulder that wasn t hurt, again feeling a strong piercing sensation on my arm before using the weight of my body to send him to the ground, hitting the head in the wall at in the process, falling directly to the ground apparently unconscious; I tried to move my arm next and all I managed to do was to scream in pain and seeing a little bit more blood to run down through the open wound, L via then began touching blindly the air trying to find me saying in sequence:
-Richard! Where are you? Are you alright? My vision is still bad! I just see a blurred white thing answer me!
-I I am here L L via I was hit again on the other arm it is bleeding quite a lot Jack must be unconscious
L via neared me, trying hard to be able to see my actually condition, managing moments later to at least notice how bad I was; Dawn began growling pointing to the same direction Jack was, we both looked at that direction and even slowly he tried to stand, the noble asked for a moment to deal with a more immediate problem and standing up went towards the other nekomimi, grabbing him by his hair and pulling him in a way to force him completely up; then she said:
-You filthy thing still polluting the place with your unpleasant existence? she then placed Jack s face near hers you betray me, try to kill the most important man in my life, hurting him twice and try to flee in sequence -The radicals were betrayed - he said in a loathing voice you are nothing more than an useless being that stains the dignity of the nekomimi race, leaving your own kin aside to side with the oosarumimis!
L via then proceeded to beat the traitor down in such a way I rarely saw her before, there were many times when Jack, even laying on the ground, was forced to stand up by her and being hit again, lots of broken bones were already visible, after approximately ten minutes of a really bad beat down, Jack stood up with a lot of effort, the noble then stopped her attacks and looked him in the eyes again, saying:
-Do you have something to say before I end your filthy existence?
-Y Yes - replied Jack spitting saliva and blood on the nobles face, showing then the middle finger to her, flipping the bird trying to offend go to hell, bitch!
-Hoga Pupu.. murmured L via, closing her paw in sequence SHITTEKEN!
The noble s paw hit Jack full force in the middle of his chest, however the sound of wood snapping wasn t head this time, it was more like something exploding I tried focusing better my sight and I couldn t believe in what I saw, I stood up with a lot of effort despite Dawn s protests; when I got really close to both of them I needed to fight the urge of pucking, L via s paw penetrated the traitor, and exit on his back, with the heart still on its last moments then she quickly took out her arm, letting the opponent fall to the ground, obviously lifeless; as soon she noticed me beside her, her face changed completely and then asked me:
-Oh my Saint Meow! Are you all right Richard? she then examined the cut and where the dagger was still inside me we have to take you to the hospital at this exact instant!
-N No L via take me home - I said, slowly losing my strength.
-Are you insane? Before going home you need to take care of yourself! she replied already holding me.
-T there we have the best doctor in the world... - I replied losing conscience then.
