Chapter 23
Davis and Bowen made their way to the cell where Wagner was kept in .
The formation in that cell was active, that prevented Wagner from being able to use his power . It also made him unable to see what was going on outside .
Davis then saw a circle switch near the cell . He pressed it .
Wagner turned around his face . He saw a small kid with a Prison Guard .
"Heh, don't tell me you brought a brat for me to enjoy?
" He viewed Davis with lascivious eyes .
"Why are you looking at me like that?
" Davis only asked a question . He already made up his mind but he still wanted an impetus .
"Heh, of course, it's to brutally murder and **** you .
" Wagner's breathing hastened .
He was likely thinking of doing that . Davis was disgusted . Wagner didn't care for anything as he was fated to die this month . It didn't matter whether he offended a big person or not, much less a child .
"I understand .
" Davis replied calmly . He then switched off the mechanism .
'You understand?' Bowen was utterly dumbfounded . He couldn't understand where this conversation was headed to .
"Bowen, leave the Prison!
" Davis commanded .
"I can't do that, my Prince .
" Bowen was stunned before he replied calmly .
"You won't listen to my command?
" Davis narrowed his eyes .
"I was told by the Emperor to protect you no matter what happens .
" Bowen shook his head .
"I see, then I will have no choice but to say to my father that you molested me in the Prison .
"
"W . . What!?
" Bowen couldn't believe his ear . 'What kind of words did this 5 year old child utter?' His mind momentarily stopped working .
"I said that I will have no choice but to say that you raped me in the Prison .
"
'That is totally different then what you said before!!' Bowen started sweating heavily .
'Could it be that all the Royal Family members are like this?'
"This . . Prince . . don't make this difficult for me, I was only tasked to protect you in this Prison .
"
"Do you think my father won't act against you? Do you think he will believe your words or mine?
" Davis asked profoundly as if there's an underlying meaning in it .
'What did I do to deserve this? This child is a demon in human form!'
Bowen was on the verge of tears, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry .
"How about this, you're only tasked to protect me right? Go stand guard near the entrance of the Prison . With this you can both protect me and do what I told you right? You think these prisoners who are suppressed by the formation can harm me?
"
"This . . . Alright .
" Bowen considered a moment before yielding .
"Good, and you're not allowed to use your senses on me, you're not allowed to peek either . I will come to you to get food every 4 hours, by this, you can verify my safety every now and then .
"
"Eh? This . . . I understand .
"
What else could he reply? He already accepted his conditions once and it did seem that he was able to protect him through this method . He atleast had the confidence that no matter what happened, he would be able to protect him in the Prison . Only he couldn't understand that why the Prince forbid him from using his soul sense on him . He imagined that it must have to do something with the Royal Family's secret, so he didn't dare to ask .
Bowen then left that part of the corridor and made his way to the entrance of the Prison .
Davis checked his surroundings before summoning his Death Note .
Black aura surrounded him as it changed into a hazy appearance .
A note appeared on his hand . It was pure black in colour at both sides of the note . There wasn't anything written on the cover . He opened the note and turned the pages . It was pure white, without a single speckle of dust .
He pressed the switch again, only to see Wagner moving his right hand up and down .
"Honestly, there's no redemption for a bastard like you .
" Davis wrote his name while he felt disgusted . He'll be sure to give him a worse death .
. . .
3 days later
Davis was still in the Prison, experimenting the Death Note .
In the Royal Castle, Throne Hall .
Logan was seated in his throne while Claire sat beside him, both of their face, looked grave .
The whole Throne room was crowded even though it was 100m long and wide . People were assembled here, ranging from Middle Class positions to High Class position holders in the Royal Palace and the Army .
The atmosphere here was tense . No one dared to utter a word, afraid that they might be cast out or outright killed .
*Crreak*
A sound made from opening the door of the throne hall, was heard . The people shuddered as if it was a crack from the hell .
An old man with a great disposition walked in with great strides . He was covered in a dark blue armor, he held his helmet in his arms . He walked forwards until he was in line with 5 other men who were clad in different wardrobes . He kneeled down with one leg on the floor and clasped his hands .
"Reporting to the Emperor . .
" He took a deep breath .
"The Albert Kingdom which is under our jurisdiction has been conquered by invading forces two days ago . .
" Beads of sweat formed on his face .
"We . . we were unable to defend against the invasion of the combined alliance of the Raven Empire and Tritor Empire!
"
He kowtowed
"We were made to retreat in the face of the giant threat, and I cowardly made the decision for the army to retreat to the Royal Capital . Please let this coward to die a thousand times for this mistake! Your majesty!
" He immediately drew his sword and proceeded to stab it into his heart .
*Bang* A powerful energy came out from nowhere and made the sword fell out of his hand . He stared blankly not knowing who did it .
"It's fine, this Majesty forgives you, Randal .
" Logan replied calmly .
"Instead of making our army die a cruel and meaningless death, you made the right choice by giving the order to tactically retreat to our Royal Capital in exchange for your own reputation .
