In a chamber a large square like structure is being held up by a singular person, struggling to not get crushed by the huge block a few feet away there are three people watching him struggle to keep himself alive
The Queen sitting With her guards watching Kaiser go through his punishment after killing thousands of innocents.
"I do this with love…Don't you understand how hard this is for me"
"The Elves have already come Knocking, they've known you've been running around for a while now."
Kaiser, still struggling with the huge cube, can't let out a single word as his mouth has been magically sealed by His mother.
"I've offered them a few different options that don't involve your head rolling into a bucket…you see they will be here today to do whatever they see fit to you while you're holding this cube I've made."
Kaiser slowly lifted his head up to look his mother in the face to see if she was serious. Before a punch hits I'm in the face.
An Elven Woman and man in silver armor are standing to the left and right of Kaiser the Woman with her arm extended after punching him.
"We can't kill you but this will hurt… a lot"
They begin punching him in the face and stomach repeatedly.
"This is for the children"
The woman throws a hard punch that connects, causing him to spit blood, and leaving a large bruise
"This is for the innocents"
The man knees him in the stomach then kicks one of his legs causing him to fall to a knee.
"We aren't done with you yet Demon"
Punches, kicks, knee strikes over and over connect to Kaiser's face or body, causing cuts all over his face and stomach. His face being covered in his own blood blinding him.
"We will never forgive you, our Queen will never forgive you, our people will never forgive you. Nothing you do will ever be enough to earn our forgiveness"
The pair run at him at the same time and fly with their fist out ready to knock him out.
"Now feel the anger and rage of our people"
Their attack hits Kaiser square in the chest breaking a few bones as a pool of blood pours out of his mouth his chest slightly caved in.
"I think that's enough for you two this evening. Thank you for your help in teaching this boy a lesson"
The Queen is suddenly next to them as are her guards who step forward checking Kaiser's wounds.
"Thank you Queen Kaeya,Her Majesty thanks you for the opportunity to punish him today"
The two elves now then instantly teleport away.
"your Majesty He has broken ribs, a dislocated jaw, his left leg is broken, left hip cracked, and his right hip is broken, all in all he's beginning to lose his posture"
The ground where Kaiser is kneeling cracks and he slides down into the small crater the weight of the cube bearing down on him.
"We demons have a difficult life to live, everything I've done to give at least two of us a good name has been spat on"
Walking closer Kaeya stops and talks into his ear
"You've severely disappointed me Kaiser, everything I've worked for is now nothing after what you've done. We were so close to achieving trade contracts with other kingdoms to help support our people here."
Kaeya stands back up and walks away back to her chair and sits back down.
Her guards Phase back to her side and continue to watch along with her.
"My queen, would you like to leave or will you stay?"
Kaeya shifting herself to get comfortable ignores the question and continues to make the seat a tiny bit better.
"We will stay to make sure he doesn't die, you two rotate who leaves here to watch over the armies and people every 3 hours."
The guards bow and one of them teleports out of the room.
"Kaiser you have My permission to speak"
A symbol appears in front of his mouth
"....I regret what happened…but in that situation I'd do it again, n-no one deserves to be sold as property."
Kaeya gives a soft hmmm then she closes her eyes
"You will endure this for 4 more days until then we will check in you in two days and then the last day we will come and get you"
Snapping her fingers she disappears somewhere in the kingdom and her last guard is there standing silently.
Two Days later.
Kaiser, now back on both feet, is still holding the cube but now the ground around him has become an even bigger crater after the past few days.
Looking around the arena he can see no one despite it being the day they'd come to check on him.
"Behind you"
Turning his head slightly a Woman is standing behind him he doesn't recognize.
"You seem to be struggling with this, no?"
The woman slowly begins to circle him with a smile on her face.
"You know I can't believe you don't recognize me even though you-"
Before she can finish Kaeya and her guards appear behind the woman.
Priscilla Walks forward to the lady and stops by her side.
"If we knew the crown Princess of Elves was coming here he would have prepared something for you"
The elven woman Turns around and just smiles.
"I wanted to see who was responsible for finding my younger sister… is it unreasonable if I wanted to thank him?"
Kaiser's head perks up after hearing this and he lifts his head.
The princess walks over to him and bows deeply.
"Thank you for finding her I've been searching for months but I was never close to anything"
Kaiser nods his head at her thanks and continues to concentrate on the huge cube bearing down on him.
"Priscilla"
Kaeya calls to her second in command
Walking back she kneels to the ground, her hand to her chest.
"Tell everyone to Greet the princess we will have a welcoming party for her"
Nodding immediately, Priscilla disappears to inform the
The princess walks to Kaeya and bows with Kaeya nodding her head in return.
"May I request something of you your Majesty well more like requesting something from your Son"
Kaeya somewhat confused stands up from her seat
"And what is it you wish to ask of me Little Lady I can do whatever it is you want for a cost of course"
The elven princess giggles and covers her mouth.
"I would like to request help in figuring out Who has been causing the elven trafficking problem my kingdom faces"
"I would like to employ Kaiser, your son to help me track down these People"
Kaeya paces around a bit deciding whether or not to appease this Girl and her request.
"Hmm you know there's an answer to who's been orchestrating it that you won't like at all"
Kaiser stands up fully with the cube.
"The one behind the kidnappings is your Step-mother the Queen herself, her personal guard the royal knights are the ones who were pursuing me that day."
The princess narrows her eyes in anger, her fist bawling tight.
"Check my pocket the necklace I have please check it, it's how I found out"
Kaeya walks forward to Kaiser and goes into his pocket and pulls out the necklace, her eyes flashing red for a second and then she frowns immediately
"its covered in curses, from another demon and her enchantments to go along with it"
The elven princess, still angry, walks over and grabs the necklace.
"As much as I hate her it doesn't prove she's the one who did it, or why she did."
Kaeya sighs then grabs the girl on the shoulder.
"I'll explain it to you now, You know how each Elf has a distinct feel to their magic now everyone's magic feels the same. Each has their own feel or to us smell"
"Andromeda I've meet your Step-mother before during the peace treaty years ago, I wouldn't forget the putrid smell her magic produces"
Andromeda was surprised that she knew her name the entire time.
"H-how did you know my name i didn't tell you yet?"
" I am a queen I know every king, queen, prince, princess and bastard childs name there is from the major kingdoms around"
Andromeda just shrugs her shoulders in acceptance at the obvious point.
"But back to the topic at hand, she is the one who's behind a portion of it. I don't know if it's just her, or multiple factors."
"Kaiser I've decided your punishment is over early it seems your investigation has led us to something huge"
The cube on Kaiser's Hands disappears and he falls to the ground face first, the weight of it all finally leaving his shoulders as he instantly passes out.
Andromeda looks at Kaeya.
"He's been holding it for a week and a half with the mass of it increasing everyday, honestly I'm surprised he held out so long I thought he'd pass out after 3 days"
Kaeya walks over and grabs him and holds his limp body under her arm.
"Come, we have much to discuss".
The room of the Queen Kaeya
Andromeda slowly walking around the room looks at all the books she has collected, some with new covers others with extremely worn covers.
"Have you ever been in a fight before Andromeda"
It was a question but it was obvious she already knew the answer she hoped to keep hidden
"So you haven't that's troubling to hear Kaiser is fairly strong for his age he hasn't really fought anyone as strong as him or stronger than him that isn't me or Priscilla"
Kaeya sits on a chair next to a small table, snapping her fingers as one of the books floats over and sets itself on the table.
"Your Majesty if I may do you think we'll succeed in exposing this"
Kaeya closes the book and her face hardens
"if you want to succeed the two of you can do do it but it'll be extremely hard if only the both of you go"
Andromeda begins to think of a plan to get at least one more person to form a strike team but no one trustworthy enough comes to mind for her.
"I truly can't trust anyone in the royal family or even associated with the royal family currently until we unroot my Step-mother"
Suddenly Priscilla appears and kneels down to Kaeya
"Stand we are not in a professional matter currently, also remove your helmet I wish to see your face"
Priscilla stands and removes her helmet unleashing her white hair that ends with black tips.
"My Queen-"
Kaeya gives her a blank stare with hints of a threat hidden.
"Kaeya, Prince Kaiser has awoken and is preparing to come here now"
"But along with that he's insistent on going back to the Golden city to finish his operation"
Kaeya sighs in annoyance
"Fine bring him here he'll be pleased to hear him and Andromeda will be forming a strike team to expose the Queen"
Priscilla teleports away then immediately appears again this time with Kaiser in tow who she grabbed by the shoulder.
"When can we leave?"
Kaeya laughs at the immediate want to leave and escape from her and Priscilla's gaze
"You'll gather your weapons and head back there in 2 hours, reminder they still absolutely hate you, DO NOT be seen understood"
"We can't risk a war with the the golden City"
At that Kaiser nods and walks away to go to his room to prepare Andromeda, following not far behind.
1 hour later
"You know I thought you'd be-
Before Kaiser can finish Andromeda punches him square on his cheek causing him to crash into a bookshelf behind him.
Andromeda wipes her clothes from the dust that was sent flying from him hitting the bookshelf.
"Oh trust me you've pissed me off , the only reason I didn't do more was because you saved my younger sister, but the lives you took I hope you feel regret"
Kaiser stands up from underneath the pile of books adjusting his jaw back in place.
"I do"
Andromeda walks towards the opposite bookshelf and leans back crossing her arms.
Her eyes hardened and her Magic flows around her eyes.
"Truthfully I haven't been completely honest with you, I didn't come to expose my Step-mother, I already Knew she was behind it I've come because I have an Angel problem and I need you to deal with it."
Kaiser paces back and forth with a silent calmness his eyes never blinking his stride never changing.
"You're asking a lot of me Especially since an Angel can purify me, even for my mother it'll take at least a thousand years before she could get a quarter of her power back"
Andromeda unrelenting stands still staring him down.
"Since when have the Angels and Elves had conflict? Even when I was there I heard of no such thing"
Andromeda begins to rub her brows in annoyance at his constant questioning.
"We need this Angel gone she's been snooping around and stealing our artifacts she's a thief who Knows nothing of our people"
Kaiser stops his pacing and looks to Andromeda his decision made.
"Fine I'll help you but not for free, this will cost you since there's a chance of me getting purified by this Angel"
"You will owe me three Requests that you must do then I will accept this deal"
"Fine I accept"
The two walk closer to each other and extend their hands for a handshake to seal their deal
"Andromeda you know you're making a deal with a Demon if you don't keep up your end of the deal you'll become cursed"
Andromeda smirks and grasp his hand tightly, Kaiser smirks in return and returns the gesture in kind.
"Fine now let's go kill an Angel's
The two leave the room preparing to go to the Golden city.
To be continued.
