Nameless King

The Royal Blades were shocked by the situation, but Marcus along with the Knight of the Bloody Rose, explained the situation to them, so two of the six Royal Blades decided to fight at their side, while the rest remained loyal to the King until the very end.

"Eh, it always amazed me how such naive and foolish people could achieve such a position? Does it make any sense?" Marcus muttered while lying in a hammock on top of one of the watchtowers.

"Well, if all leaders were like you, our world would be like a puppet theater in that the trickiest would win, not the strongest." The Knight of the Bloody Rose said with a calm look as he stared at the kingdom in the distance.

"By the way, why did you come here? Don't you need to be with your mates? Tomorrow is the great day, you need to prepare for battle mentally and physically as you have to fight against your home." Marcus muttered in a careless manner.

"Huh, that goes for you too. Don't you worry about your men?" Knight of the Bloody Rose grinned.

p "Well, I'm sure they can handle it." Marcus shrugged.

"I too. Moreover, they're busy minding their own business right now." Knight of the Bloody Rose muttered since he noticed Lucian walking with White Lily, "That girl's a real masochist since they're on a date now, though it's even for the best. Okay, I'm going to go get some air."

Whooooooosh.

The Knight of the Bloody Rose disappeared like a shadow under cover of darkness.

"He's finally gone." Marcus sighed, "Does he have to emit such a menacing aura all the time? Damn... it's really stressful, though tomorrow will actually be very interesting."

Marcus smiled as he waved his hand. In front of him appeared a multitude of spheres, each holding some powerful creature, be it a wolf, an octopus, or even a huge wyvern. The shadows trembled slightly as though they were waiting for an opportunity to burst forth.

...

The next day, before dawn, the knights with Dark Lizards members stood at the entrance to the crypt that was the secret underground tunnel to the kingdom. Marcus' team consisted of five men, they were the strongest of all the people of the dark world that he knew. White Lily, Black Carnation, and Blue Tulip were along with Knight of the Bloody Rose.

"Damn, I can't believe this is really happening." White Lily muttered with a confused look.

"Don't worry. You'll be fine." Lucian smiled as he held White Lily close to him, "I once saw a boss fight in full force, it's actually scary, so I'm glad to be on the same side with this terrible force. The one who has to worry is the King, his fate will be horrible."

"Enough talk. We will be opposed not only Royal Guard but also knights from weaker houses. My primary target is the King, but if anyone gets in my way, I will not stop." The Knight of the Bloody Rose spoke in an ice-cold voice.

"Well, well, enough with the menacing speeches. Let's go. It's time to have the grandest battle on the continent!" Marcus exclaimed, raised his hand, and the seal on the crypt gate glowed.

They all ran into the tunnel as they moved with great speed, but at the same rhythm, so after half an hour, they reached an unremarkable farmhouse on the west side of the kingdom, hundreds of meters from the castle.

"Okay. We move along that wall and then enter the castle through the underground vault." Marcus said as he tossed a rune in the air.

The rune glowed brightly, and a special barrier appeared over them that made them almost invisible for a while.

"An underground vault? How do you know where it is?" White Lilt asked with a suspicious look.

"You ask too many questions. We are going to kill the King, so obviously, I have prepared. Surely you are the Royal Blade?" Marcus said in a mocking voice and ran forward.

There were dozens of knights constantly watching the castle's surroundings, but no one noticed them, and no one could imagine that someone would have the nerve to sneak into the castle during the day, so it was a perfect operation.

The castle was on high ground, but Marcus decided to stop when he reached the lowest point.

"Hmm? Are you suggesting we climb up like climbers? Was that really your genius plan? We're sure to be exposed!" White Lily said in a sarcastic manner while shaking her head.

"Does anyone know why we brought that pesky girl along?" Marcus frowned, "She's definitely the person that's ruining everyone's party mood."

"What did you say?!"

"Just watch." Marcus sighed as he touched the wall.

Whoooooosh.

A seal in the shape of a three-headed snake appeared on the wall and slowly opened a door that led to a secret passage under the castle, then the knight's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Huh, it seems to me that this town would already be yours in a couple of years, and none of the nobles would even know about it." The Knight of the Bloody Rose grinned as he stepped inside.

"Huh, you're right, but I'm not that patient. And, I prefer colorful battles! Constantly coming up with cunning plans is quite tiresome." Marcus spread his arms apart with a slight smile on his face.

They quickly made their way up the paths that no one had used in a long time. The vault was a few floors below the throne room, so they got there in minutes.

"The King is right above us. He's always there." Marcus smiled as he pointed his hand toward the ceiling, "It's time to begin. Be prepared, the Royal Guard are the King's shadows, so they are always there for him."

A dark sphere emerged from Marcus' finger that, on impact, exploded and made a massive hole in the throne room.

Whoooooosh.

Marcus jumped up, looked at the King's shocked expression, and exclaimed, "It's a great day to die, isn't it?"
