Monarch of Darkness

Evan was seething with hatred and anger as he watched the body of his mother lying helplessly on ground. He was so agitated that he did not even notice the slaughter aura coming from him. His mind was filled with the idea of vengeance and his hatred was growing with every passing minutes. He didn't notice when but he started to lose control of his mind.

Without his notice, the blood within his body started to act on their own. There were three types of strands within his blood. One strand was pitch black, another was completely white and the last one was dark red in colour. This time the pitch black strands were acting like as if they were excited. A faint glow appeared on them as if proclamation of their awakening from deep slumber.

Everyone of Sylvia clan noticed the strange behaviour of Evan. Many were looking at him with a dumbfounded look. The aura coming from Evan made those Sylvia clan members fearful. Some warriors with discerning eyes recognized the slaughter aura. They looked at Evan with widened eyes. This was the first time Sylvia clan members were witnessing this side of Evan's character. 

Suddenly Evan felt something and tried to dodge to the side. He felt something struck on his back and his consciousness blurred. He fainted right away.

"This brat, what is he doing in these days? We have to properly watch him from now on. Such dense killing intent! He is only a 

eleven year old child", a sigh came from the figure who struck Evan. A hopeful look appeared on the face of Sylvia clan members because it was old lady Adaline who rushed back from the nearby camp.

"Take Evan to his palace. Let him properly rest", Adaline spoke softly. A Sylvia clan warrior came near Evan and took him away. Then Adaline looked toward Olivia. Sophie was still sobbing softly. After noticing Adaline, she calmed down slightly. contemporary romance

"Sob...sob",

"Granny, can you heal aunty? There is no sound coming from her heart anymore", Sophie asked Adaline. Adaline didn't answer the question of Sophie. She took the hand of Olivia and closed her eyes. A frown appeared on her face after sometime.

Adaline released the hand of Olivia and grabbed the sword which was protruding from Olivia's chest. She pulled out the sword from the body of Olivia gently.

Olivia didn't show any reaction but blood started to trickle down from the corners of her lip. A bright yellow light appeared from the hand of Adaline and it poured on the wounded part of Olivia.

The wound started to heal in a speed visible to the naked eye and many in the surrounding breathed in relief. Old lady Adaline was the most reliable healer of Sylvia clan and everyone breathed in relief after seeing old lady Adaline taking action to save the queen.

After sometime Adaline herself picked up the body of Olivia from ground and took her to a nearby room. After sometime she came back. "Granny, is aunt alright now?", Sophie. asked. 

"Her situation is still critical. Nothing can be said at this time. Let her rest properly for now", Adaline shook her head and spoke softly.

Morning sun rose from the distant mountain in early morning. A group of Sylvia clan warriors rushed to the White Orchid valley with the lead of their clan chief Lucas Sylvia. The warriors of Sylvia clan glanced around to check the safety of their family members. Then their gaze descended on the dead bodies of their clansmen. A sorrowful atmosphere pervaded in the air of Sylvia clan.

Lucas tried to console their clansmen. Then he visited the room where Olivia was resting. Their he met old lady Adaline who was sitting nearby Olivia. Their was a sad look on her aged face. Sophie was also there. Seeing her father, she cried her heart dry.

During the noon time, the sword devil came. He witnessed the atmosphere of Sylvia clan and didn't know what to say to console everyone. He knew the Sylvia clan was unlike other big clans. It was a clan with low population. So, the death of few hundreds of its members was a unbearable lose to Sylvia clan.

In the evening time, a person came to visit the Sylvia clan. He was Pedro, one of seven generals of Thousand swords kingdom. He wore a grey coloured armour and the insignia of two swords crossing each other could be seen on his armour. After arriving, he greeted Lucas and Adaline. Then he observed the situation of Sylvia clan silently.

There was another general who rushed back at midnight and he also analyzed the situation calmly after greeting everyone.

Next-day, a group of people from capital came to visit the Sylvia clan. Surprisingly, it was Brianna who rushed back from capital. She was now the supreme ruler of Thousand swords kingdom but she couldn't sit still after learning the news about Olivia. There were various guards surrounding her when she came and many Sylvia clan warriors kneeled down after seeing her. There were two old man with unfathomable aura came with her this time and they followed here everywhere she went.

Brianna visited Olivia and tears trickled down from her eyes after she saw Olivia. Olivia was still unconscious and there was a pained look on her face. Brianna looked at her silently and then she clenched her fist. "Don't worry sister. I will make them pay for this. You don't have to think about Evan also. I will take care of him."

After accompanying the sleeping Olivia for sometime, Brianna walked toward the nearby palace. The nearby palace belonged to Evan. There were some Sylvia clan warriors who were guarding the place of Evan. Brianna walked towards them and everyone greeted her when they saw her coming.

"Where is Evan? Is he inside his palace?", she asked one of the guard.

"Yes, my queen. Prince Evan is inside his room but he is denying to come outside from yesterday. I think it is probably for her majesty..."

"Ok, I understand. No need to speak more. Tell him that I will visit him after chairing a meeting", Brianna spoke. Then she looked at the room of Evan in a complicated gaze and walked away.
