Emperor Of Kings

"Teacher you need to hear this" the newcomer was a red-haired youth in a blue robe.

The figures were indeed Aqualis, Sears and Rosaline and the youth were Rosalin"s brother Hayden.

Aqualis was frustrated at the point that she had no clue about the killer of Minister Bryan, she hated the feeling of being in the dark but seeing her student"s smile on his face she knew he had some information that was valuable to her in the pursuit for the killer.

"Does it have to do anything with the killer?"

Rosaline could see the excitement in her brother"s eyes, he was doing his best to keep his calm demeanor

"It very well might be Teacher"

As she heard Hayden a cold look emerged on her face but Aqualis quickly hid it with a charming smile and looked at Hayden

"Spill the beans Hayden " Sears couldn"t wait to hear what is Hayden has to say about the killer

"Come with me teacher, you should hear it from her than me"

After a few minutes of following Hayden Sears, Aqualis and Rosaline came in front of the healing room of the Cold Moon Mansion. None of them asked any question of why they were going to the healing room as they just followed Hayden inside.

At the center of the room, Rosaline could see a group of girls and boys standing and murmuring among them.

"All of you get out except Mervin" Hayden shouted at the group as he walked towards the group followed by Aqualis Rosaline and Sears.

Everyone who heard Hayden was startled and turned around to see Hayden was walking towards them with his teachers and sister. Seeing their usually secluded teachers coming to investigate the scene made everyone realize this is not something they could poke their noses in as they left the room without even uttering a word leaving a girl and Mervin behind.

When the students left the room Rosaline could see a girl sitting beside a couple of buckets as she had one in her lap as well, the girl was pale and shivering as her eyes were blood red due to what seems to be crying.

When Hayden and the group stepped forward towards the girl she raised her head and tried to stand up to show her respects but before she could do that Rosaline saw the girl throw up in the bucket.

"Jeez, what happened to her?" Sears asked when he saw the poor girl.

"Hayden, what does this girl have to do anything with our search?"

Aqualis didn"t care about the girl, not even a bit.

"Teacher she is Jemma, Jemma Ariel" at the moment Hayden said her name everyone"s eyes opened wide in realization and shock except Mervin.

"She"s the daughter of Abran Ariel?" Aqualis asked in surprise as she saw Hayden nodding in confirmation.

"Yes she"s the one"

Hearing she"s the heir of the Ariel family Aqualis started to care about the girl

"Little one what happened to you?" Aqualis asked in a motherly voice as the girl lifted her head away from the bucket and looked at her

"Uncle my Uncle he " but before she could say anything she started to throw up again.

"Mervin tell us what happened again" Hayden realized she wouldn"t talk even if she wanted to so he asked Mervin.

Although Mervin seemed fine compared to Jemma, he was extremely afraid and shivering inside however seeing the grandmasters before him he gulped his saliva and mustered all his courage to tell them what happened a few hours ago.

"It happened….

********************************

(a few hours ago)

"Jemma what are you thinking about?" Mervin asked Jemma who was looking far away with a worried face.

"I don"t know but I have a weird feeling like something bad happened"

She was clenching her fists while she said, Mervin wanted to rea.s.sure her but before he could do that he saw a group of men flying towards them.

"Jemma why are your family members coming here?"

Mervin realized they were Ariel"s family members at the moment he saw the giant crane carrying the blue-robed men. He knew only the Ariel family-owned white cranes to carry them around instead of a magical broom. After a few moments, the crane landed as Jemma looked at them

"Jemma when did you last see your Uncle Robert?" one of the blue-robed men asked Jemma in a serious tone. The moment Jemma laid eyes on Uncle Evar before her she confirmed that her feeling had just become true. She knew Uncle Evar is the head of security of House Ariel and he wouldn"t leave the compound if it wasn"t something serious and now he"s here to ask her about Uncle Robert, the same man she sent after Micheal.

"Uncle Evar why what happened to Uncle Robert?" Jemma"s eyes already started to turn watery

"Robert"s life light went out" the moment Jemma heard Uncle Evar her heart skipped a beat. A life light is a tiny bit of soul left behind, as long as the person who left the life light is alive the light will continue to burn.

Obviously, Jemma knew the meaning behind Uncle Evar"s words, someone"s life light went out means the person has died.

"No!!!!! It can"t be" Jemma shouted as she leaped towards Uncle Evar and hugged him tightly, Evar could feel his shirt turning wet by her tears.

"Jemma it could be a mistake, you are the last person he met right? So tell me where and when did you meet him?"

Even though Evar said it could be a mistake he knew that"s not the case but seeing the poor girl he had to at least provide some kind of comfort to her.

Seeing this Mervin realized Jemma was too sad to say anything so he stepped forward to answer Evar

"We met him two days ago and he went towards the Kingdom of Emir"

Mervin didn"t say anything about the ambush they planned with Uncle Robert because he thought it would be better if Jemma told Evar about it.

"Its... its all my fault" Jemma"s voice was breaking due to her sobbing while she said

"What"s your fault but we have to hurry let"s go you can tell everything on the way"

Evar said as he took Jemma and Mervin on his crane and started to fly towards the Kingdom of Emir.

"Sir Evar we found the battle site" the scout of Evar"s group flew towards him and said, Jemma was still crying but hearing the scout her cries became louder.

After a few minutes of following the scout, Evar could see an empty Carriage on the barren lands and a crater near it.

"Ah SIr Evar" Evar saw the scout has something to say but he was hesitating

"What is it Patrick?" Evar asked the scout before descend

"Sir Evar you should leave miss Jemma away" but before Evar could say anything Jemma started to shout like she was mad

"No, I want to see I want to see Uncle Robert" seeing how Jemma behaving Evar realized he couldn"t do as Patric suggested as he slowly descended towards the scene.

Some of Evar"s men already landed and scanned around the place, when Evar landed he could see some of his men slightly trembling looking down at the crater.

At the moment Jemma"s feet touched the ground she ran towards the crater to see Uncle Robert. However, when she laid her eyes on the ground below her, she fell down and crawled back in shock and fear. Her legs refused to go near the crater again because of the scene she just saw.

Mervin couldn"t understand why Jemma was acting this way until he himself looked down. The scene he saw was horrible beyond words, in the center of the crater he saw Uncle Robert"s body or what"s left of it. He was mashed to the ground, the body Mervin saw was not a complete body but just a meat paste.

Even Evar was taken back by shock when he saw Robert"s body, the scene was similar to roadkill, Evar was unable to guess Robert"s legs from his hands, the blood was already dried and dyed the ground around the body in red. Some bones and teeth of Robert seemed to have survived as they decorated the red meat paste with their white color.

Robert"s death was horrible to the point that if they wanted to bury him they needed to scrub him off from the ground first, even if they do that they won"t get his full body. Evar couldn"t hold his anger towards the killer of his brother but he didn"t show his anger to the others.

"Sir Evar you need to see this " another one of his men said to Evar as he started to follow the man when Jemma stood up to come with him. Evar had never seen Jemma like this before, she was their little and raised her like a flower in a greenhouse but now she was welcomed by the terrible reality,

Her skin turned pale in fear as her eyes looked lifeless.

"Uncle Evar I need to see it"

The man informed Evar nodded his head towards Evar to let him know Jemma could see it, Seeing the man before him Evar knew the next scene was not horrible as Robert"s body so he let Jemma follow him.

While following the man Evar could see he"s leading him towards the carriage and just as he guessed the man stopped at the carriage.

The moment Evar laid his eyes on the side of the carriage he heard someone falling to the ground, it was Jemma who fainted. Evar could understand why she fainted because what she saw was indeed meant for her to see more than that it was written in which Evar guessed the blood of Robert.

"WE WILL MEET AGAIN JEMMA ARIEL"
