The sun was setting as the door to the mansion opened, and a man with dark skin walked in, his gaze on the Empress and the Princesses as a sinister flash of lust passed through his eyes. "I am Duke Jakari, and I have been ordered to guide Empress Yavanna and the Princesses to the meeting place." He said.
I could tell he was just like the princes, making me scuff as he looked towards me and glared at me as I smirked. "Very well, Duke Jakari. Lead the way." Yavanna said as we walked out and loaded the carriages. I rode with Yavanna as the Duke was with her, and I didn't want to leave her with him.
"Empress Yavanna, who is this white northern human with you?" He asked with a hint of distaste. His words made me raise an eyebrow, so this world suffers the same fate as mine. "He is none of your concern, Duke," Yavanna said, not wanting to explain to him.
He didn't push it anymore, but I could tell he didn't like me or how the Empress was treating him. We pulled up to the palace and dismounted. As we walked in, I was stopped by two guards as the Duke spoke. "Only those of royal or nobility are allowed at the outdoor auditorium. Your guest must wait somewhere else." The Duke said.
"You two take him to his waiting area and take good care of him." He said with a fake smile as Yavanna looked at me with worry. I just smiled and nodded. "Very well, we will see you later, Sir Colt," Yavanna said as the two guards smirked and led me away.
I can already guess what they had in store for me, but it didn't matter as I smirked, looking at their gear. They weren't wearing any armor or leather; it looked like just padded cloth armor. Nothing my bullets couldn't tear through in a heartbeat.
As I followed the two guards, we made our way to a spiral staircase and began to walk up it. "Where are we going?" I asked, and neither of them replied, and only smirked as we made it to the top, and they opened a door. "After you, guest." One said as I walked inside to see Prince Adegoke and two more guards.
He had a shit eating grin on his face as he started to talk. "This is the perfect view for you to watch the whole elven royal family being raped by the nobility of the Warish Empire, you peasant." He said, making me break out into laughter as we were at least ten stories up and the window was closed.
I quickly reached into my jacket and tilted the revolvers. I pointed them backwards at the two guards behind me, and pulled the triggers as they fired. I hit the two guards in the chest, dropping them as I unholstered them and pointed them at the other two guards, who froze.
"You underestemied me, prince, you have far too few guards and no guards with a damn as they look far too young to be skilled," I said while gunning down the two guards next to him, making him stumble back as he hit the wall, speaking.
"You won't get away with killing me. Let me go, and we will forget this all happened. I will even stop going after Varda." He pleaded, making me smirk.
"Get away with it? You act like I don't want a fight. I have so many test subjects now, I have to really thank you." I said shooting him in one of his knees as he fell onto the ground, screaming in pain. As I smiled.
"You know how hard it is to test weapons of war? You can't just go around killing innocent people; that looks bad. But killing those that are a threat to you, that's free game." I said while pulling the trigger again, hitting his other knee.
"You're a monster!" He screamed out in fear as I smirked.
"And what does that make you? How many people have you raped and enslaved? How many lives have you ruined? I am a monster that is for sure, but you, you are a demon in human flesh." I said before shooting him in his right shoulder.
I walked over and stood in front of him as he glared up at me, and I pointed the revolver at his head. "Maybe in your next life, don't be a douchebag," I said before pulling the trigger as his brains splattered against the stone wall.
I stored the revolvers and took my jacket off, then grabbed a plate carrier from storage and put it on. Getting my gear ready for a fight, I walked to the glass door, opened it, and stepped out onto a balcony overlooking.
What lay below was a massive open area about 2km wide, with a circular auditorium in the middle, about 800 meters across. I looked down and noticed that Yavanna and the others had exited the palace and were walking along a path.
Quickly making a rope spanning ten floors, I tied it to the balcony rail and pushed it through the opening, letting it fall. Climbing over the railing, I started to move down the rope. By the time I reached the bottom, the others had stepped into the outdoor auditorium.
Summoning a flying drone, I started to fly it, getting a good map of the area. There was only one way in and out of this area, and that was the door that Yavanna exited from. Summoning the drones, and ordered them to move along the edge of the wall as it was the darkest area.
Waiting for my drones to get into place, I scanned the auditorium, looking for the epic-rank warrior until I found him. Smiling as he was preoccupied with getting pleasured by a woman, this fool let their lust control them. I began to make my way to a spot with a line of sight of him.
Finding a good grassy null as I lie down, summing the Barrett .50 cal and loading a magazine. I didn't fire just yet as the drones hadn't gotten into place.
A little while before, Yavanna was walking through the corridor of the palace. Her mind filled with worry for Colt, but she could only trust him that he could be able to handle everything himself.
She and her daughters stopped before a giant door as the Duke turned and smiled, then bowed slightly and stepped to the side as it opened. A larger stone path with torches on both sides went on for a while until she could see the auditorium.
Steeling herself, she took a step forward onto the path; her daughters, just like her, were worried about their family. As they made their way to the auditorium, she witnessed a sight that made her stomach sick. Her three daughters were being used as playthings for a few dozen nobles. She clutched her hands and grit her teeth as she glared at the man on the throne.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS EMPEROR MAMADOU!" Yavanna yelled out with anger.
