He informed Kaoru about this last night and have told him to go all out against Tazuna, despite the sword being in its sheath, Kaoru's strength was enough to use his sword as if it was not in its sheath.

That is why from the very beginning both he and Kaoru had no desire to leave Tazuna intact. They knew that the people will feel bad for their acting chief if Kaoru would attack him to the point of no return but if they could exploit him while Kaoru was doing this then the people's heart would be moved by Kaoru's passionate revenge for the people.

True to their thoughts, upon reading the news and seeing their seals and signatures, the people was enraged to the point of them cheering Kaoru to end the bastard's life.

The people already had little trust for this person, after becoming the chief and leaving a few promises they never really saw him do anything. It was still the initiation of the people to improve their livelihood that helped the kingdom.

And once something good was done, he would come out and praise the one who did it but his words would soon change it to his doing. Like leaving them on their own in order for them to grow.

People became irritated with this because the funding of the kingdom to the people and to the initiators of improvement were so little that they had to pinch in in order to really improve their livelihood.

The other three generals who have woken up, wanted to lose consciousness all over again. The captains were surrounding them with furious glares. This six captains were not included in any agreement. They too, together with the remaining generals, were only thinking of ways to improve the livelihood of their kingdom.

So despite wanting to, these three could only sit still as they were tied up and was guarded by the captains.

They watched Kaoru thrashed Tazuna over and over again without letting him fall unconscious.

"This..."

Finally the one using the rapier had a look of enlightenment and fear.

The others looked at him with confused eyes, what happened to him?

"I once heard of a great sword master in another kingdom. They said he was young but he carries and uses his sword as if he had lived longer than the generals and the head knight."

As they listen, the three captured generals who uses the same sword as Kaoru slowly opened their eyes wider. Realization crept to their hearts, they of all people knew of this legend.

A young lad who had killed 30 bandits on his own, a story from more than 25 years ago.

Despite all four kingdoms not really interacting with one another, such stories couldn't be kept from any of them.

Without really intending to, Kaoru's capabilities were actually known all through out the four kingdoms. He was not known by his name, but by his title.

"The one who massacred those 30 bandits living their bodies dismemebered and decapitated. A horror for every bandit and even to soome knights. The renowned, 'Blade Child'."


The rapier user finished but even without him doing so, all these people have heard of such legend. The generals were old enough during that time. The captains have heard about it through their seniors.

But since that was the last event of his legend, Blade Child was slowly forgotten by the people.

They only knew of one thing about him, he loves crushing every bone on ones body but he also loves cutting them off. Something Kaoru was doing now, void with emotion only a smile in his face. His eyes still closed not wanting to see what he was doing.

(Flashback)

"When I closed my eyes a while ago, I somehow returned back to how I used to be. I felt stronger and was no longer bothered by how I attack. I was just planning to have a breather but in the end, I actually attacked with closed eyes," Kaoru said after tending to Raven's injury.

"With that, we know, you can fight like how you used to. But you must not see how you injure your enemy. This might be because of how you injured the doctor back then. It became a real trauma to you," Raven analyzed what had happened.

"If I just picked my sword sooner, then maybe, maybe brother Leo wouldn't need to time jump. Then maybe Eureka wouldn't have to fight so hard and end up leaving. If only I was able to pick my sword back up sooner," Kaoru was regretful, he had the strength but in the end he couldn't use it.

"If you have it, do you think the shield you make and the seals you created was as strong as that?" Raven instead said seriously.

"Despite being born with the talent to wield the sword, you wouldn't be able to really focus on improving your seal in such a way. You already have tremendous strength after all. But since you have to let it go, you were able to focus on improving your ability instead. Not simply focus but instead you devoted everything on your ability, if it was just a little lacking, we wouldn't have three months of preparation and the baby within the queen's stomach won't really be safe."

Raven looked at him seriously, "Everything has its own purpose. The reason why you must focus on your ability back then was for all of us to have the greatest support that we could have in order to fight as one and defeat Juzo."

"The reason why you can finally focus on your sword now is a follow up to what she had started. Hesperian is the only kingdom that was not yet united with us, if you become the king, then the true peace she had been wishing for would somehow be achieved."

Kaoru could only look at Raven, this is the first time he heard him speak so much. Kaoru couldn't help but to give a self deprecating chuckle.

"You two really have the same wavelength, don't you? You really don't like to speak too much but when you do, it resounds through the heart."

(End Of Flashback)

"I am Kaoru, younger brother of king Akihiro from Aurora Kingdom. I came here to see how I can help and as a candidate to be your next king. Upon knowing that you have chosen a leader, I was prepared to be an adviser instead. But seeing all his devilish acts, my desire have changed to be your king instead."

He unsheathed his sword.

"The challenge you all have decided was completed by me. And now, I am raising this sword right in front of all of you. This man lying in front of me, I deem him unworthy of continue living."

He finally opened his eyes and looked at all the people who are already standing.

"He didn't just left the people of the kingdom on their own but he had taken the people's money for his own desires. I have also found his other crimes of silencing some people who found out of his hideous doing."

"The darkness in his heart have spread to his whole being and I have no desire to leave him be to give birth to another dark lord who only wants destruction. I could have spared his life if he didn't went out of his way to kill others. He could have repented in his other crimes."

"So I stand here before you, together with my sword, I shall exact juidgement to this person who have exploited the kingdom during its weakness."

Without waiting for any one to react, in one swift motion Kaoru had beheaded Tazuna, right there and then.

He then looked around, "The three generals whose hands weren't tainted by blood yet shall use their entirety to help the people of the kingdom in improving its livelihood even more. They are to use the money of the people that they took for themselves and their titles shall be stripped off of them."

"The daughter shall choose, whether to follow her father or repent and be of service for the kingdom as well."

"With this I announce my ascension to the throne as your king."

Silence followed after everything. They were still shocked by him beheading Tazuna right there and then. But knowing of his evil acts, slowly people started clapping and roaring for their new king.

Finding out that he was also of Royal blood was nothing to them, he had interacted with them as an equal and helped them in every possible way.

They have witnessed his sincerity which was far different from the sincerity of words that Tazuna have shown.

The remaining generals and captains walked towards him and right in front of him, they knelt down.

"We pledge our loyalty to the new king."

"Don't pledge to me, but to the people. Pledge that with your life you will protect the kingdom and its people."

The knights looked at him in reverie before they pledged their loyalty to the kingdom and its people.

The day ended with a celebratory mood, Arisa and the three generals were first sent to jail. Tazuna's body were thrown into a pit behind a mountain and was covered with soil without giving him a proper burial which he does not deserve.
