BXBX NOVEL Chapter 164: Something a man should never do.
"Axilen, we know you wouldn't do such a thing, just hold on a little longer, our mother... is doing her best," her sister said, but Axilen didn't agree. "I'm sorry, Anna, but that's not going to happen. Our father has always been too strict with his promises, even if... well, he has to sell his own daughter," Axilen said with sorrow. Her father...
she didn't have the best relationship with him.
"Don't speak like that, sister," Anna said with sad eyes as they stared at each other through the communication magic.
Axilen, who was about to end the transmission, turned around when she felt someone's presence approaching the door.
*Knock*
Just one knock, and Axilen said nothing, she continued to talk to her sister. "Aren't you going to answer?" She questioned. "No, I have no interest in speaking to anyone. After that pathetic scene from that idiot, I'm fed up with all these people."
*Knock*
Again the knock came, and she ignored it, "I just hope to get out of here soon, these people... disgust me," she commented, and before her sister could respond.
Axilen turned again as she heard a metallic sound being forced, it was the doorknob undergoing an attempted break-in.
"Hm? Why are they doing this at the Imperial Palace?" She wondered, her sister seeing the scene became a little worried.
"Sister, you better see what it is," she said. It was still daytime, and no one would do something like this. How could something happen to her inside the Imperial Palace? That's what Anna thought, until a loud sound was heard.
*BOOM*
The wood yielded to brute force, splinters flew through the air, tracing a trail of destruction.
Axilen stepped back, surprised, moving away from the door and the dust that came out. She stared at it frightened, yet at the same time, she was ready to defend herself.
She assumed a combat position, but...
The sound was thunder, a red bolt passed through the small mist and appeared in front of Axilen.
Holding her by the neck, Ethan looked into her eyes with anger. "Has humiliating me become fun?" He questioned, lifting her brutally as he strangled her.
Inside the room, terror grew, Axilen realizing she was defenseless against the intrusion. Her heart pounded in her chest, thoughts swirling as she struggled to process what was happening.
Axilen writhed in every way, tried to struggle and hold Ethan's hands to free herself, but nothing was possible, her body seemed made of steel. NovelFire-your-story-source
The desperate scream echoed through the room shrilly. "Aaaaaaaah!"
A strangled cry of anguish escaped from her lips.
Anna, witnessing the scene, shouted quickly. "No! Stop this! Let go of my sister!" She saw her sister writhing in agony, and soon, her body was sent flying through the same door that had been broken.
"Shut up," Ethan said and punched the transmission sphere, shattering it completely, and looked at Axilen's bleeding body on the floor. The silence was invigorating to him.
'How good it is to be strong,' he thought as he approached the young woman's body, which was marked with blood on the wall.
"Shall we discuss a few things, my wife?" He questioned with a smile as Axilen's eyes opened slightly.
Ethan knelt beside her and said, "You look so pathetic... is that how you saw me?" He said with a smile, still bitter from Axilen's earlier remarks.
"How about we fix your beauty?" He questioned, and Axilen had no strength to respond, the profound impact had broken several of her bones, and many parts of her body could hardly be felt anymore.
He looked around and picked up something from the ground near her. "How about this?" He said, holding a piece of concrete that had broken upon impact with the young woman.
CRACK
He punched the piece, turning it to dust with the strong impact directly on the woman's forehead.
"AAAAAAAAH!" She screamed in pain, so loud that anyone nearby could hear, but in the end... nothing came.
"Shall we go again?" He questioned, and again the stone came, this time directly on Axilen's nose.
"AAAAAAAAH! STOP!" She screamed in pain again, begging him to stop. But would he stop? Of course not.
He clenched his fists and began a sequence of blows to her face.
BONK
She couldn't scream.
BONK
Her nose was broken.
BONK
Her teeth were hurt.
BONK
Her eyes closed.
BONK
She had no more reaction, she just... passed out from the excess of injuries, her whole face was red... blood-red, all cavities bleeding, even her eyes were not spared.
Only one thing was still intact, her beautiful purplish hair.
Ethan looked at it with disgust, then grabbed her hair and threw her to the ground. Her hair was so long that it could be used to drag the girl's body. And so, he did;
Grabbing her hair, he dragged the girl whose face and body were broken. Her face was scraped along the ground leaving a huge trail of blood, which in turn stained her dress and the entire palace floor.
He walked towards the Empress's chamber, while all the servants looked at him without him explaining what was happening.
"Kya!! What is this?!" One of the maids questioned seeing Ethan walking holding Axilen by the hair, as if she were dying.
Ethan looked at the woman who appeared in front of him, she was no more than twenty-three years old, one of the new maids.
"S-Sorry!" She said seeing Ethan's gaze and quickly apologized, bowing, but she felt a hand supporting her shoulder, then she lifted her head and saw Ethan's face staring at her.
It was her last sight before her head was torn off by a single slap.
She died.
He looked around and none of them dared to speak up. However, they all began to leave in a panic to talk to the guards about what was happening.
He didn't care, walked to the place he was intending to go, and as he was turning the corner about to arrive, he saw a man at the Empress's office door.
Dante saw that scene of Ethan approaching, completely bloodied while carrying the woman's body.
A red button was pressed.
Something that a man should never do was happening before his eyes.
