Dragon King's Harem Chapter 203. Cold Interrogation IV
But General Kul paid no heed to my words, instead he shouted again.
“HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME BETRAY MY KING?!” he yelled in frustration. Although anger was evident from his expression, the tears that flowed from his eyes showed how broken his heart was. This was a worse torment than before. The highest form of torment for a loyal General like him.
Not only him but Evelina was also tormented by it. I could catch the guilt from her expression. My ears could hear her sorry repeatedly. Tears also rolled down her face.
Irritated by his shouts, I decided to take care of him with my own hands. There was no turnback.
I pulled Evelina into my arms, burying her head in my chest so she didn't have to see the terrifying scene that would happen next. My other hand was directed at him as I used my Telekinesis on his head.
An invisible force gripped his head, yet that didn't stop his furious screams. Instead, it was getting louder.
I clenched my hand. My eyes looked at him coldly.
- Crack!
His screams stopped as his head crushed. His blood splashed at the faces and bodies of all who were there, including me and Evelina's hair.
My sudden movement made everyone gasp and held their breath. I bet none of them thought I would finish him off with my own hands. Even though I felt sorry for him, I had no other choice since this was the only mercy I could give him.
I snapped my fingers to cancel my Freeze skill, freeing his body from my ice.
- Bruk!
Once the ice covering his body disappeared in an instant, General Kul's Headless body fell to the floor followed by the clatter of heavy chains hitting the poles. His blood ran down the floor and our shoes.
Once I lowered my hand, without my command, the guards quickly approached the body and dragged it out. Since he wasn't part of the dragon tribe, we simply would bury him with the Earth skill. Likewise with the dead Minotaurs and Orcs. A standard procedure for the war.
But since The Minotaurs had given up on us, I decided to let them gather their soldiers' remain. As long they were not too close to the fortress, of course. If they went too close, the dragons would not hesitate to attack them.
"It's okay Evelina. He's gone," I whispered once the guards managed to take General Kul's body away, glancing at her. Yet Evelina didn't want to release my arms. I could feel her trembling body and my ears could catch her sobs.
A long exhale came out of my mouth.
“I told you, you should take a rest in your room,” I said. I admitted her skill was very useful, but the after effects were too much for her.
“What have I done? What have I done?” she whispered repeatedly between her sobs. Her regret was in the tone of her voice. I could feel her tears soaking my uniform. “I have tortured him worse than anything. I have made him die in regret.” Her sniffles were clearly audible in her voice.
"It's not your fault, Evelina. You just want to give him an easy death,” I tried to soothe her, hoping it would fix her guilt.
“B-But…” Before she could finish her sentence, I distanced her away and placed my hands on her cheeks before I lifted her face to look at me. Her eyes were full of tears.
“Evelina, he was an enemy and wanted to kidnap you. You shouldn't cry over him," I reminded her. In contrast to my cruelty, what I showed to her was only gentleness. “If it happened to me or you, they wouldn't cry over us either. They will laugh at their victory. So please, don't waste your tears," I added. It was the truth and something that usually happened in the war.
Evelina closed her eyes, letting her last tears flow before she opened them and nodded reluctantly.
"Very well," I said. A smile on my lips. My hand grabbed hers. "Let's go back to the room, we should clean the blood first."
Gently, I pulled her. But she didn't move from her position. So I turned to her again.
"Your Majesty. Rather than a bath, can I tell what I saw first?” she requested.
I was quite surprised by her request. Actually, that's what I wanted, but seeing her condition I thought to let her calm down first before holding a meeting to discuss our next strategy.
"Very well. To the meeting room then," I said before I turned to a guard near me.
“Call Eir and General Guillotine. Tell them that I will be waiting for them in the meeting room,” I ordered. I could only hope my decision was right and Evelina was stable enough to tell us everything we needed.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied the guard before he left to do my bidding.
I returned my gaze to Evelina.
“And you…” Without further ado, I lifted her trembling body and carried her in my arms just like how I brought her from the palace's bathroom. It was the only way I could think of to soothe her, overlapping her overwhelming emotion with another emotion.
She was shocked. Her hands hugged my neck in reflex. I could catch her regret replaced by her embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, isn't this too much?" she whispered, glancing at the soldiers around her. A faint smile was on their faces as they did not expect that they would see this in a prison. Yet none of them made their voices. Some even looked to the other side out to give us a bit of privacy.
"I don't think so. You have helped me a lot and worked hard. This is a little appreciation that I can give you,” I stated.
Evelina pressed her lips. Her embarrassment was still evident on her face, yet she couldn't refute what I said.
"We shall go now." Then I went to the exit.
