Chapter 218 - Air

"Now..." Julius said as he turned towards Rosie to was still mid air as she hadn't landed from the point where she had leaped in the air in an attempt to dodge Julius' special strait which cast both a lava terrain on the ground but also had large flames surround a large area of the floor which they all stood on.

"Wow, I never expected you to actually kill one of your own. I see your true colours are finally starting to show. Maybe this will finally lead you beyond the point where you can keep your instincts inside. No matter how hard you true you know who you really are. The truth is, you're a blood thirsty demon who only gets his pleasure from killing. You're truly one fitting of being labeled a monster and also my son," said Henry which was completely ignored by Julius who simply leaped towards Rosie before she could land back on the ground. Due to her being mid air, there was nothing she could do as dodging an attack while being suspended in air was nearly impossible. Due to that, all Rosie could do was clench her muscles as Julius's head landed right in his rib case as he head butted her and caused severe fractures on her rib cage. Even though she had tried to suppress the amount of damage she would sustain during that interaction, Julius didn't plan on showing even the slightest bit of mercy as he planned to kill her without a second thought. 

After landing a devastating headbutt on Rosie, Julius got up from the ground as if he had done nothing wrong a grabbed a large sludge of magma that was right beside him before pouring it right into Rosie's eyes and mouth as he allowed it to seep right into her body. Rosie neither cried or yelled even though the pain she felt was like no other which she had ever experienced before. Due to the way Henry controlled his minions, there was no way for Rosie to express any of her emotions as the one person which she had cared about was the one to kill her in the most brutal way possible. Julius only looked at her like nothing but a mere insect as he killed her. There was no sign of emotion in his actions as he killed her without bothering to consider how she felt in that moment. In that situation. All Julius could think about was eliminating the enemy so that it wouldn't be a concern for him later on. 

"Wow! Good job! This is really impressive! I guess you don't even hold back against women. I could really turn you into a killing machine. That would be quite wonderful. I mean who knew that all it would take for you to get this powerful was just to break your heart?" Henry said as he laughed at Julius which seemed to catch Julius' attention.

"What? Why do you look so surprised now? You think I didn't know about your little crush on Liz? You've got to be kidding me, you really thought that I wouldn't know after all of the things you've done with her? She was quite literally the only woman in your life for over half your life. Who else would you consistently think about. After that, all it took was the training trip which was made to make you stronger with the side quest of also making you miss her more. Once you came back, Liz and the vice captain of the royal guards were supposed to get married right in front of your eyes to show you how pathetic you really were. However now that I think about it now, the way in which you found out was much funnier," said Henry with a loud burst of laughter. Such a sadistic and maniacal laugh which would bring fear into anyone.

Julius felt his heart sink as he saw the figures of both Henry and Liz laughing at him while looking down on him with eyes of pity. Julius' head went blank as all he could think about was the conversation he had overheard between Liz and the vice captain of the royal guards. Henry had set up everything. All of it just to make Julius go through the most horrible pain he could ever go through. It was pure hell as Julius felt his heart continue to beat faster and faster onto the point where it shouldn't have been humanly possible for a heart to beat that fast. When ur finally reached its limit, Julius' heart came to a complete stop instantly as Julius still continued to stand up straight as his body could no longer move or react which was when Henry finally continued to speak.

"Now Julius, you must be wondering why I did all of this. I mean, you're supposed to be my son after all, I should have been there to look over you and guide you like a good father. That must be what you thought would happen. After all, you were born into royalty at which you were granted everything from birth. All you had to do was snap for your dreams to become reality. You never faced hardships or anything of that sort. The life of a prince is one which is perfect. This must have been what many, including yourself assumed. Of course in your eyes, this was what was happening. You enjoyed most of your life while being surrounded by the ones you love. However that was all nothing but an illusion," said Henry before continuing to speak.

"To be king is to be absolute power. No one should be able to question your authority in wealth, fame or power. As king, you must be above all your subjects in all these categories. Due to you being the future king, I needed to prepare you for this duty. You must be wondering why I took it this far. The answer is quite simple.. It's because there is no better motivation than a heart break," said Henry with the most sinister grin.
