Chapter 109 - A Cruel Mother (R-16)

R-16 (Contains scenes with blood and cruelty to children)

As Ehione passed out in the hospital and taking into account the case of terrorism and kidnapping, the doctors ran full tests on him and so in one of the blood tests for parasites, they discovered the abnormality and started researching.

Using magnetic probes they were able to pinpoint the cause of the problem and easily eliminate the parasite, but Ehione needed to get the system clean to be able to return to normal senses.

The fact that Ehione was infected through open wounds only indicated that someone very close might have infected him or injected something into his body.

"Gyasi, I am giving the order to detain the two concubines and all their employees, also include our father's employees. You must do this secretly, there are still his friends, I don't want to alert them, first, let's investigate the ones who live here and then we'll look for his friends" Ade said after a moment of silence.

Gyasi was the military general and one of the Diablo Empire's strongest authority figures, in addition to Marshal Azikiwe (their uncle). He contacted his lieutenant colonels Dinari and Sahid, they would stir up the entire imperial palace now.

Gyasi: (...)

I just wanted to spend time with my man! Ah, that's why I hate the imperial palace!

In Olaniyi Jang's palace, things were eerily silent, the woman was looking at a holographic screen on her wrist communicator.

"RETREAT"

The black woman was stunned for a moment, but she should have known by now that after losing contact with the worm queen cub that things weren't right.

"Mom?" a 10-year-old child shyly called. His mom had been acting weird for the past two days. She paced and always seemed to be looking at the big bedroom window all by herself.

His father was also very busy helping his older brother deal with the nobles after the terrorist attack. The 10-year old's nanny arrived in the room and she was going to remove her young master from her mistress' room.

"No need, you can come back from here in about five minutes," Olaniyi said suddenly surprising the nanny and the 10-year-old boy. The nanny had a bad feeling but she suddenly got a headache and when she looked around she was outside her lady's room.

"Son, Mom loves you so much… But Mom needs to get away now" Olaniyi said putting her son, Rashid Azikiwe, sitting on the bed.

"Mother, where are you going?" Rashid asked blinking his golden eyes. He gripped the sleeve of the grown woman's clothing, afraid she would disappear.

"Mom's gone too far, but one day I'll be back, okay?" Olaniyi said stroking his son's whiter hair.

"Mother, why don't you take me?" Rashid asked in his innocence, his eyes already shining with tears.

"Mom can't... But mommy's baby is going to help me escape, isn't it?" Olaniyi said with a sigh. She held tightly to her son's arm, in her mind, this child had to be useful for something.

His mother's exacerbated strength scared Rashid and he wanted to pull the small arm out of the strong hand, he struggled a little and then he started to cry, he cried from the confusion and the pain, he didn't understand what he had done wrong to his mother acting with such brutality.

"Son, mom needs to go. So be helpful to me, okay?" Olaniyi spoke in such an indifferent tone that Rashid stopped crying and looked at the woman who looked like his mother in surprise, but he denied in his heart that this cold, evil woman was his mother.

Rashid didn't have time to scream or get more scared, he just felt a cold slicing through his body before he saw the blood spurt from the wound, the pain was so great that it caused a mental shock and he passed out a few seconds later.

"Help! Help! The Rebels invaded my room! My son! My son!" Olaniyi Jang yelled from inside the room, looking coldly at the child who was passed out in his own blood.

Yes, her son would be a great distraction while she ran away.

The rose palace's defense system was activated, as the palace's imperial guards entered and ran to the concubine Jang's room, encountering the bloody scene, but instead of helping the child, they looked like zombies that surrounded the body of the child as if protecting him, but they were preventing help from reaching the fainting child.

Olaniyi escaped through a secret passage that would lead to a teleportation portal that would be used to escape the imperial family in case of attacks.

Still, with the queen of worms in hand, Olaniyi used the rest of the worms that should have been on the employees to make them resist the imperial guards or soldiers who tried to enter the palace, which would cause even more confusion, she with a grim smile disappeared for behind the secret door.

Thus, the Talented Concubine disappeared from the Diablo Empire.

The nanny who was stunned outside the room woke up and ran to the Talented Concubine's room, only to find the 10-year-old child lying on the bed in the pool of his own blood and the imperial guards surrounding the body preventing her from getting to her young master.

Screams and confusion took over the Palace of the Rose.

The child's blood had spurted out and smeared part of the wall and floor, it was a miracle the child had survived until the rescue and relief team had arrived.

"According to the map of the palace we received from the Imperial Architects, here on the right-hand side there should be a secret door that leads to the escape tunnels," Dinari said looking at the hologram on his wrist communicator.

Dinari Igwe had his eyes set on a closet big enough for two people to walk in, beside her was Captain Azmera Ebiere, a petite black woman, with skin like coffee clods, alpha gender, with short fuzzy and black hair, and round eyes with long dark lashes and blue-green irises, similar to a gemstone. Which showed there was the blood of another species coursing through her veins.

Azmera Ebiere1 is Dinari's right-hand person, which showed how competent she was, despite being different from the other alphas because of her small frame and delicate body, despite her strength belying that fact about the woman's fragile body.

"Lieutenant Colonel, security locks have been engaged, it may take some time to open the door," she said, taking a device from her space item.

"General, we need to activate the palace system," Dinari asked Gyasi who was looking through the window, which had been opened to lessen the smell of blood.

Fortunately, Rashid survived first aid and was now being taken to hospital.

"We can't activate the system, we had to deactivate the palace system because my father gave all control to Olaniyi Jang and it would be very dangerous if the system looked at us as enemies and could activate drones and robots to fight us" Gyasi he said turning to face his lieutenant colonel.

"It's not enough that some of the employees attacked us," Saidi Tahid said from the door, he had a cut on his arm, his blood seeped into his military clothes, luckily the clothes are black with red epaulets, which didn't show much blood.

As soon as they arrived at the Talented Concubine's palace shortly after the nanny raised the alarm and asked for urgent help, there were traitors in the palace of roses, they were met with attacks from both the zerg employees and the palace system that identified them as enemies.

Fortunately, they had a technician who specialized in disarming systems with them, that same technician had now gone to the Palace of the Black Rose, where the Honored Concubine, Nubia Madaki resided.

Anyway, it took them and the medical team to get to the concubine Jang's room, luckily the medical team managed to get there before Gyasi and his team, otherwise, Rashid would have died of blood loss.

"If what the general said is true, then that would explain why Concubine Jang liked to zerg employees more than robot employees," a medium-sized black woman said, she was scanning the scene and recording the environment to place in the investigation files.

Her hair as green as grass, her eyes with gray irises and thick lashes, her lips as pink as the soft rose petals, her skin a shade of light brown like the fine woods of willows, she came from a faraway planet colonized many years ago by the Zerg Diablos.

In her blood, there is the blood of the native mixed with the blood of the Zerg Diablos. Fortunately, after 150 years the respect for the native peoples of the planets that had been colonized had increased and new protection laws allowed the people of the native's planets to have their parts of their territory and they could peacefully coexist with the Zerg Diablos and other species that came later.

Thanks to Ehione's pacifist politics and the continuation of politics with Ade in power. Only then, a hybrid like Eno Mudiwa1, could reach the position of Captain without any connection with the nobles or directly with the army.

"Captain Mudiwa is absolutely right. I think even those who didn't attack us should go to the lab for tests just to be sure" Saidi Tahir said leaning against the door frame, the soldiers were behind him, it was a group of ten soldiers waiting to go to the secret passages.

The other soldiers were checking the perimeter of the palace for clues, or even employees trying to escape, all living beings were possibly contaminated with the mind control worm, so none of them could be allowed to escape.

Even the pets were taken for examination in the laboratory, this type of parasite is like a pest that could put many people at risk if they were allowed to escape the palace. Azmera: means Harvest in the Ethiopian language

Ebiere: means wave in the Nigerian language.Eno: means Gift (godsend) in Nigeria's language.

Mudiwa: means Dear Person in the language of Zimbabwe.
