15 Chapter 15

The next morning Vlad waked up to a loud bell ringing, this was quite weird, it seems to wake Vlad early so he decided to start training early. Vlad quickly showered as he wore a black kimono.

Vlad walking towards the castle noticed it was devoid of its usual life, he didn't saw any of the usual people. Just as Vlad was looking around he saw a young lady with long beautiful blond hair, Blad was surprised as this looked like the lady who always sat alone in the garden.

Vlad mustered some courage as he approached her and asked her about what happened.

"What happened, where are all the people," Vlad asked in a rather polite and respectful tone.

The last looked at Vlad for a second a little surprised before answering.

"Ohhh child, seems like you are oblivious to the execution that was transpiring, go to the training hall you will see them there."

'Child..... lady you don't look that older than me and executive, could it be related to yesterday.' Vlad thought.

Like she had just read Vlad's thoughts, she chuckled and started walking off.

Vlad wanted to ask if she would go with him, but he decided against that, he got a weird feeling and decided against it.

As he walked towards the training hall, he noticed it was jam-packed, all of the castle residents were there, Vlad saw a large stage on which he saw a young lady in a lotus position with a large man holding a huge katana above her head.

2 men also stood beside them, both had the same military-style clothing, Vlad was quick to identify one of them as Ria's uncle, but the other identity was unknown, Vlad guessed he should be quite a big shot if he stood next to her uncle.

It seems like he came at the perfect time, as he heard a loud shout "Death to traitorous."

Bam...

Vlad heard a loud noise when the katana suddenly started to move, with unparalleled speed and strength, it tour through the sound barrier and produced a deafening noise.

Before Vlad even knew the katana was already under Abigail's head, with a swift motion, the deed was done.

It only took a couple of seconds before her head rolled on the stage floor and a huge quantity of blood poured out from her neck as the whole stage was covered.

Vlad looked at the headless body and wondered if it was him, what would he feel like, although he had already experienced death once, it still scared Vlad.

Just the notion of having your entire existence erased, and having your entire life actions being erased was an existential crisis for Vlad.

Vlad wanted to defy death, he didn't want to spend the rest of his eternity in a blank state, he didn't want death to scare him, he wanted to live forever.....
