When Prince Victor's boat docked at the shore he could see so many other boats and ships carrying their national flag.
"Unload the treasure chests." He told his guards and watched as a few of his men unloading heavy chests filled with riches that he made from destroying British and Prussian empire.
Flanked by his guards, he walked towards the Villa but then his feet flatter when once again he saw his brother's apparition along with none other then bloody apparition of
Milan Sharma. His black clothes looked faded. A bloody sword sticking from his guts.
Horrified Victor stumbles but his guards catch him before he can fall. "What's the matter master?"
He shakily looked up but saw his ghost disappeared. "Its nothing." Victor stood up and with determination to keep focus on his weapon as he walked inside the Villa.
His eyes widened when he saw the impressive attendance. It seems the sovereigns of great nations are in this race to get their hands on this weapon. It was not just them but they were accompanied by their respective generals and admirals.
One of the admiral he recognized as Spanish Admiral Diego Della Vega saw him and started approaching him. "Why I am not surprised to see a war monger like you In this auction." Diego sneered, gaining the attention of the rest of their audience.
"Mind your manners boy, I am just following orders from my sovereigns like yourself." Victor said gruffly but apparently his audience laughed at him.
"Your sovereigns are missing for a few months and yet it was you who declared war. I think we can see who is the real war monger here but fear not once my country win this bid we will destroy you once and for all."
Victor felt his anger rising as this Spanish Admiral kept insulting him. It was then he saw his brother and Milan Sharma again laughing at him and it was clear only he could see and hear them as they started mocking him. "You are going to lose everything! You are going to die in disgrace."
"Your end is near Victor!" Milan Sharma's voice haunts him in a raspy voice making him snap in fear.
"You are the ones who is going to lose everything! I will win this bid and when I get my hands on that weapon I will laid waste on you and your nations!"
"How will you destroy them? His brother's ghost demanded. "Like you did it with your own country?"
"It was never my country!" Victor yells manically. "You and your country always treated me like bastard! You took everything from me that was rightfully mine!"
To his horror he then saw Mary gliding among the oblivious audience as she raised her bony finger at him. "I was never yours and yet you took everything from me."
"You were mine you whore! Everything was mine and I killed your husband for taking what was rightfully mine. I punished my brother by making him mad and destroyed his empire for taking his side and I punished all who were loyal to them. I destroyed Prussia, I ordered the murder of Viscount Bridgerton. I killed numerous people to harvest Crane's toxin to destroy this nation and I will gladly burn them to the ground for taking things that were rightfully mine."
Victor confessed as he stared madly at his audience. "You don't want me as your enemy because I will destroy you all and everything you hold dear!" He threatens them and finds them stunned by his confession.
It was until with jolt he realizes what he actually confessed his voice flattered. "I, I." He stammered as everyone gave him disgusted looks.
"You forgot to mention one more crime Victor!" His brother's voice booms as he took his handkerchief out and wiped his face shocking Victor even more when he realised it was really his brother speaking to him in all his awareness. "Your crimes against an innocent girl!"
Victor could not believe his eyes as suddenly everyone cleared the way for the ghost of Milan Sharma who suddenly appeared by his brother and Mary's side as he reached up and pulled out a wig attached from its head as long curly hair spilled from it.
"Remember me Victor, the girl you send to Mount Désespoir! The girl you raped and then ordered its warden to keep her alive at all cost just so you could have revenge on my poor father you murdered in cold blood! Branding him as traitor!"
Victor stumbles back in shock as he shakes his head in disbelief. "You ! You cannot be Sharma's daughter! I was informed she had died long ago!"
"Oh I did died countless deaths in that hell but the girl who survived is well known as Zetara Priest or She returned as Countess Of Beaumont and became Kathani Bridgerton again once I was reunited with people I loved.
She held Mary's hand as more people appeared by her side. "I have returned not just to expose your true disgusting face Victor but to show you the same mercy you had shown to our King and his people but most importantly to my family!"
And hearing how she emphasized the word Mercy made Victor shiver to his bones.
Finally reality of this situation dawned on him as Kathani Bridgerton stared at him with vengeance. "This is not an auction Victor because there was no weapon to begin with."
Victor's eyes widened as he saw those two children claiming to be scientists joining the other side waving at him with a triumphant smirk.
Soon they were flanked by the couple who claimed to be their parents now out of their disguise.
Lady Bridgerton and Lady Danbury arrived after them followed by few young ladies and finally Queen stepped into his vision as she was flanked by Prince George, Prince Frederick, Edwina Sheffield, Brimsily and two diplomats brothers he recognized as Rokesby brothers.
"This is not an auction Victor! This is your trial! Today all your crimes are exposed and today you will get punished for those crimes and your victims will finally get their justice. Thanks to all the proof we gathered and the confession you just made in-front of everyone. "
Victor trembles in fury as he screams at them. "You worthless people cannot harm my single hair!
"Guards!" He yells out as he commanded his men holding rifles. "I order you to protect your master and kill these people!"
He was smiling hoping to hear his guards taking arms to protect his life but then seconds passed as he realized that not one of his men moved to obey him.
"Guards!" He once again yells at his men. "I command you to protect my life and shoot my enemies."
One of his guards stared at him as he replied. "Your concoctions are destroyed and we were never your slaves to begin with."
One by on they removed their caps and disguise and bowed to king who smiled at General Langham, Duke of Hastings, Sir Philip Crane, Michael and John Kilmartin, Will Mondrich, Thomas Dorset, Jacopo and finally Benedict and Colin Bridgerton."
"My king, My Queen as we promised we delivered this criminal to you alive." General Langham said as their rifles turned towards Victor, trapping him from all the sides.
"Traitor Victor!" King George's voice boomed as he stared at him like the king he was always meant to be, ready to do justice that was long due.
"You are charged with treason for making me mad! For murdering the King of Prussia and for using Crane's concoction to make slaves, tempering the health of the Queen of Prussia and Earl John Kilmartin for your own gain! You are accused of ordering murders of Late Duke of Hastings, Late Earl Penwood, Late Earl Kilmartin, Baron Featherington and not to forget Doctor Milan Sharma and Viscount Edmund Bridgerton and countless many people and soldiers to turn them in your weapon and slaves.
You are accused of theft, of using land illegally of brewing toxins concoction, for raging wars, for corrupting the naval, military, government and law of this country along with your associates Commodore Welsh, Prosecutor Herbert, Doctor Crane, Smith and Lord and Lady Sheffield. Most of who are punished Thanks to our Countess Bridgerton and her accomplice."
King George finally stared at Mary and Kathani as he accused his monstrous brother. "You are accused of destroying families, you are accused of the imprisonment of Lady Mary Sharma and her daughter Lady Kathani Bridgerton. Not only you stopped there because for years you tortured and raped them! You are accused of brutally murdering Kathani children to torture her further and finally you are accused of murdering Willis Herbert and the attempted murder of Countess Bridgerton in great London fair. Do you deny these crimes?!
Victor knows he was outnumbered but after all this time they really think he has nothing in his sleeves. Laughing, he tried to look at the escape route. "I do not deny anything brother! Because if I got chance again I will commit each and every crime all over again and you know why?"
He saw a window from where he could see boats lined up as he continues while bracing himself. "Because brother even if I lose everything today, even if I die in disgrace it will still give me great pleasure that I have left scars on my enemies' souls. A scar too deep that will never fade away and will haunt them long after I am gone."
"You Monster!" Mary screamed ready to charge at this monster but before she or anyone could move Victor pulled a small gun out of his sleeves and shot at her.
"Mary! Mamma!"
Kathani and others all leapt down to see lady Mary on the floor as Victor jumped out of the window and ran towards the boats.
Philip checks lady Mary and sighed in relief. "The bullet grazed her shoulder." Kathani cried and kissed her mother's hand as she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Go didi! Go kill that monster! Go avenge our family!"
Kathani stared at Edwina and finally she knew that her little sister understood their pain. Jacopo gave her Francesco's sword. "Go Zetara, Go and end this once and for all."
Kathani kissed her mother's forehead. "Take care of our mama Edwina."
With that she grabbed the sword and with one last bow to the King and Queen who gave her nod of encouragement, as she ran after Victor.
Victor was just about to reach the nearest boat when someone collided with him, making him fall. Before he could get on his feet a hard punch landed on his face.
"This is for my uncle Milan!"
Another punch. "This is for my father Edmund Bridgerton!"
Finally recognizing his attacker was Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, he tried to push him away but Viscount continually punched his face as he screamed. "This is for my Kathani! For taking her away from me! For raping her! For ordering her mental and physical torture! For killing our children!"
Anthony kept up his blows not even realizing how his wife, family, friends and everyone inside the Villa came outside to witness his rage.
Finally, after delivering many blows that left Victor's face bloody he stopped when he saw his Kathani approaching with swords in her hand. Pulling that bastard up he threw Victor on his wife's feet. "He is all yours now."
Kathani threw Spare sword at Victor as she yells. "Pick it up! Pick it up you cowered! You always kill people in the shadows but today I will kill you while looking in your eye!"
Victor picked his sword as he stared behind her. "You are not a brave whore! Facing me with battalion!"
Kathani laughed as she raised her sword. "I am enough to take your life monster!"
With that sword clashed as everyone watched Victor and Kathani fighting with each other.
Victor was an experienced swords men but soon he figured out that his opponent matched his skills.
"Remember this whore!" He pulls out his allies' flowers from his pocket hoping that they will trigger her like he heard it did when he unknowingly made George wear them for an engagement party. To his surprise it worked as she flatters and quickly he stabs her stomach with her sword.
"Kathani!" Anthony and several others yell but she stops them as she blocks another attack and slashes Victor's arm, cutting it off along with that hand that was holding that cursed flower.
Victor howls in pain as he watched this woman getting up on his feet, not least bit concerned about blood oozing from her stomach.
"Today no memory, no wound, not even death itself can stop me from getting justice!" She slashes his another arm, making him drop on his knees.
"This is for killing my Appa! For raping me with your filthy hands!" She then proceeds to slash his stomach and chest, making him scream in agony.
"This is for all your crimes you committed in your greed!"
Finally she raised her sword to give him final blow. "This is to making me the monster I am today."
She was about to strike when everyone heard Victor begging for his life. "Mercy! Please show me some mercy!"
Kathani smirked as she stared at this petty excuse of monster as she informed him the last words he would ever hear. "I am a Countess not a Saint."
"No! Mercy!"
"Slash!"
They all watched as Kathani Bridgerton executed Victor by cutting his head straight off his worthless body.
The sun was shining brighter and yet Kathani saw her brightest star as she swayed and collapsed in her loves arms. "Kathani! No! Kathani please stay with me!"
But Kathani smiled peacefully as she touched her husband's face. "Anthony, my brightest star! My shore!"
And as wave after wave crashed and more voices reached her ears, Kathani let the darkness consume herself and the last thing she saw was the face of her beloved, her Anthony.
