War: The End...

Andrew smirked as he looked down at William who closed his eyes and waited for his death hoping it would at least be painless.

William saw a flashback of his life as he closed his eyes. He remembered every single moment of his life from when he first hunted with his father in a forest to the moment he was enjoying his life with his wife and children. He had no regrets in his life.

William waited for seconds, but the fireball did not hit him which made him open his eyes in curiosity and look at what was the matter. What he saw made his eyes widen.

Lucia was between William and Andrew with her eyes closed tightly as she was about to be hit by the fireball.

Andrew quickly stopped the fireball just an inch before it could hit Lucia and made it disappear subconsciously without even knowing why he was doing it.

When Lucia realized Andrew made the fireball disappear before it could hit her she smiled gently and opened his eyes looking up at Andrew "Still cannot hurt me huh~?" She said in a teasing voice.

Andrew flinched as he realized what he did and looked away for a moment thinking why did he suddenly stop when he saw her.

Lucia got on the ground and put William's head on her lap "I told you not to use this technique in any battle did I not...?" She said sadly looking at her father's miserable state.

Andrew shook his head and looked down at the father and daughter still with a calm yet cold face "Now... it would be nice if I send you father and daughter together to hell right?"

"..." William somehow managed to turn his head to Andrew despite feeling so tired and pain in every inch of his body.

"Could you grant me a death wish?" William shamelessly asked Andrew because his pride was nothing compared to the love for his children.

"No." Andrew instantly denied the request and with a shaking hand created a large fireball next to his right hand in the air.

Andrew's chest tightened and his heart was aching when he saw Lucia make such a sad expression. He was not sure why that was happening since the last time when she made such expressions he felt nothing. However, even if he felt bad or loved her, it was too late for him to apologize or let go of her. They all must die together for the sake of the quest.

"Your hand is shaking Andrew..." Lucia said looking up at her "Well... if you really want to kill me just do it but please let go of my father and innocent people?"

"What are you saying, Lucia!?" William was using a little bit of the strength he had left in talking "I am already in death's gate! Let me die and you escape! Why did you even come here?"

Lucia giggled softly and wiped the tear which fell from William's eyes while saying that "I told you before that the day you die will also be the day I die, did I not?"

William flinched hearing that and sighed knowing his daughter was a stubborn person and would not hear him no matter what he would say. Not to mention he was beyond tired to open his mouth again.

Andrew felt irritated and annoyed beyond explanation. He did not want to see them; however, at the same, he did not want to kill Lucia either.

Andrew bit his lower lips tightly and just threw the fireball at them angrily however when he saw Lucia smiling softly he ended up slowing down the momentum of the fireball.

*Boom* Although Andrew slowed the fireball he could not decrease the firepower of the fireball. It was still too strong causing an explosion.

The fireball was aimed directly at William's stomach making his body to be divided into two parts and his stomach completely perished, however, he was still alive for some seconds making him feel unbearable pain, however, he could not move at all because he had no energy left. He only waited for his death quietly.

Although the fireball was not aimed directly at Lucia she also got a lot of damage. She was blown away by the explosion and there was a small hole in her stomach and her legs were completely blown off.

Lucia screamed in pain and tears started to fall from her eyes uncontrollably which soon mixed with the saliva which were coming out of her wide open mouth.

Andrew flinched and trembled when he saw her in such a state. He was not sure why but it hurt his head and heart seeing her like that. He looked away from her and was about to just walk away, however, he was stopped by her calling his name.

"A-Andrew."

Andrew clenched his fist and looked at Lucia who still somehow managed to smile even in such a state "What do you want...?" Andrew asked, putting his tongue under his teeth to calm himself down.

"I am sorry to not tell you..." Lucia coughed out blood "T-to not tell you before... I came that day b-because I-"

She was not sure how to say what she wanted to say and not to mention the pain she was feeling at that moment was unbearable for her.

"Just say it."

Andrew gulped and looked away to avoid looking at her. He did not know why he was still standing there and listening to her, however, he just could not bring himself to just walk away from there like nothing ever happened.

"Come on..." Lucia started to clean her messy face and looked at Andrew with a pout "At least let me see you smiling at the ending times of my life..."

"..." Andrew just ignored what Lucia said and turned around to leave, however when he heard what she said made his eyes widened.

"I am pregnant! Ta-da!" Lucia said and giggled before she vomited blood "I-it really hurts..." She sniffed and started to sob loudly "I-I am scared."

Andrew turned around as tears started to appear in his eyes. He touched his cheek and felt tears pouring down from his eyes "W-what do you mean?" He was not sure why he was crying and was feeling that emotion however, he could not stop those feelings. It was his body reaction.

"I-I am sorry to tell you this now... b-but I always wanted to say this to you..." She once again wiped tears and saliva from her face.

Andrew walked to her and looked down at her angrily "If you are lying about this and just said to survive I will make sure to wish you were dead!"

Lucia said and grabbed Andrew's legs before slowly leaning against his legs and hugging them tightly "As I have ever lied to you..." She wanted to die in his arms however if not arms she was even okay and happy being at his feet.

Andrew closed his eyes and then opened them after a solid three seconds. When he opened his eyes again there was a beautiful pattern in both of his eyes... that was the monarch's eye. Eyes of judgment.

"Tell that again. Say you're pregnant or not." Andrew said, looking down at Lucia hoping she would say no.

Lucia sighed and slowly looked up at Andrew smiling brightly "Why would I lie to you-? And even if I am not your lover, why would I, a dying person, lie huh?" She sighed "Imagine not getting loved by your man while you're dying... but yes I am pregnant."

"Truth"

That was what Andrew saw above Lucia's head. Andrew slowly got down on his knee and looked at her, not sure how to react, so he stared at her.

Lucia did not care about anything and hugged him as tightly as she possibly could have "Could you please hug me back...? I-I am kinda scared..."

Andrew's hands moved on his own and he ended up hugging her without saying anything. His mind was suddenly filled with many thoughts and confusion. He no longer knew what was wrong or right.

"Thank yo.....u." Lucia's grip around Andrew loosened and her arms dropped... she was dead, however, she was still smiling like an idiot because she got to die in the arms of her lover.

Andrew hugged Lucia's dead body tighter and tighter suddenly not knowing why, however, he wanted to hug her as hard as he possibly could.

Andrew somehow managed to hold back the tears because he did not want to show his weak side to his soldiers, however, anybody could see he was mentally sick at that moment.

Andrew wanted to scream however he could not. He wanted to cry loudly however he could not. He had many mixed emotions that he could have not described... however one thing was sure he must not show his weak side to his soldiers by crying.

Andrew's mind was completely puzzled and all could have done at the moment was cry quietly while hugging Lucia's dead body.

Andrew could have tried to heal Lucia by magic, however, he knew that would be useless. Andrew's current power level was too weak for him to heal someone with an open stomach. If he had at least four magic circles... just one more circle around his heart was enough to heal Lucia however he could not have saved her. At least not at that moment.

Andrew's soldiers came back to the scene only to find Andrew hugging the dead body of Lucia while crying there quietly.

Everyone whispered something to themselves before everyone just looked at Daniel and gave him a thumbs up with a serious face.

Daniel almost made a crying face because they discussed who they should send to tell Andrew that they could not find anyone other than soldiers in the kingdom, however, they surely stole everything they found valuable.

Daniel quietly screamed "I don't want to!" however he was pushed at Andrew. He looked back at them who just gave him a salute identical to the salute given to dead soldiers.

Daniel gulped and gathered courage before saying "S-sire-" He sounded like a girl so quickly cleared his throat before speaking again "My lord" That time his voice was too heavy, so he cleared his throat once again and finally spoke in a normal manner "M-my lord?"

Andrew let go of Lucia's body before quickly getting up and grabbing Daniel by his chin and lifting him in the air angrily.

Andrew's eyes were red not from crying but from pure anger. He looked like he would kill everyone in the sight.

Daniel could have used his left aura to fight back, however, he did not and tried to slip away from Andrew's grip through normal means.

"Y-Your highness, get back to the senses!" Daniel said loudly because he was really scared. He might piss in his pants any moment seeing Andrew like this.
