The Fallen

This day was supposed to be a happy day. A day where one millennium ended and a new one began. On the continent, there were many people celebrating but one of them didn't happen to be Leo.

He was a genius and a powerful noble of the Dragonic Empire yesterday but in a matter of a single day he became nothing but a prisoner, he looked around and he saw nothing but the bars which locked him up in his prison cell.

He remembered that yesterday to celebrate the end of the millennium, there was a big contest held up by the kingdom to hunt demonic beasts. He went to participate with a childhood friend of his, Ava, the 1st princess of the Dragonic Empire.

They had gone together and was successful in hunting down powerful beasts and everything was going well but as they were about to go back, she took his hands which had his sword and stabbed it towards her other arm, and then used the emergency crystal.

Powerful people from the empire came and she cried and lied telling them that I had tried to kill her.

I tried to explain myself but no one believed me well, even if they did, they didn't speak up for me.

I asked them, "Why would I try to kill her?"

"Why would we know? Isn't that something you should be telling us now?"

The emperor was also there and seeing his precious daughter crying, he ordered the imperial guards to destroy my cultivation and to be fed the Zeroth Pill.

Destroying my cultivation would be bad enough but to feed me the Zeroth Pill because being fed that meant that no matter what, you would never be able to cultivate again.
