" Jeremiah .." called a rather weak voice .
The teal haired man look towards his master . The once strong man , who had ruled the land , the one he knew worthy of being his master now lying on the bed on his brink of death .
"Yes , your majesty" said Jeremiah as he hold hold his master's hand.
" Im going to set you free " said the King weakly
" No .. you can't your majesty ! I can't leave you like this !It is against my code and loyalty " said Jeremiah franticly
" It is due to that loyalty Im setting you free ... " said the King followed by a cough
" What ...what do you mean your majesty ?" The teal haired man looked puzzled
" Im letting you go . but at the same time I'm entrusting you with something that you must guard with your whole life" said the King
" You can't possibly mean ..." Jeremiah eyes widened in realization " no,your majesty . Im not worthy of guarding 'that' "said Jeremiah glancing down at his feet
" You have too. You're my most loyal knight and my right hand man" said the King
Jeremiah look up again facing the king .
" I don't have much time. Once I passed , there will darkness that will chase after 'that' and it will use it to cause great destruction. It is best for you to take it with you now and disappear into the thin air without a word" said the King
Jeremiah listened to his mater's reason . He was hesitant but he knew it was the best option . If 'that' is not guarded , as his master says , someone will come and missuse it .
" If that is what you wish for ,your majesty , then I'll do it . I'll guard it with all my life" said Jeremiah
" ahh ..Take it ..Guard it ..and when my successor comes to you , and you are sure that he is worthy of 'that' , then place it back to the place it belongs" said the King
" Yes , your Majesty " said Jeremiah as he bow .
and that was the last mission his master ever gave it to him
" Dad? " a monotone voice called out to him which causes the teal hair man to snap out of his thought
" yes , Anya ? " asked Jeremiah
" Im going to get some materials . Our weapons are need maintainance" said his pink haired girl daughter with a monotone voice
" yes . you may go" said Jeremiah as he watch his daughter went out of the house

" that witch !" said Lelouch as he curses
Apparently he was dragged by C.C out of the base camp , lying by saying they need to check out the area , making him wear stiffing clothes - because C.C thought that his attire was way too flashy and he could attract bears if he wish . and now he was left alone in the middle of the forest with no sense of direction of where he was suppose to go and where exactly he is at the moment
" I shouldn't have let her control me" Lelouch regretted
He was following her fast pace and in a flash she disappear without a word and that happened to be hours ago.
Lelouch notice that it's getting dark .
" Not good . I have to go back to the camp" said Lelouch anxiously . Really the last thing the kingdom need is a missing king in the middle of a big crisis !
Cyrus can be attacking them any minute and he couldn't afford to be lost ! Lelouch franticly tried to find his way out . After a few more hours , he feel out energy .Funny , he never felt this tired before but right now his body seems to be screaming in pain. Exhausted , he collapse to the ground .
___
" .. you can't even defend yourself under such small spell I cast..." smirk C.C as she watch Lelouch collapse to the ground
" are you sure that was a wise move , my lady ?" said a familiar voice as he approached a certain gray witch who happened to be sitting on top of one of the tree branches .
" said the dragon who had vanish as soon as we knew that cyrus will be attacking" said C.C smugly
" If I didn't , he will definitely use me to his advantage" said Metallica
" Isn't that to be expected ? A mere human couldn't possibly defeat a cyrus but a dragon is a whole different matter" said C.C
" Perhaps he is . but I am merely observing whether is he really the master Im looking for all these years" said Metallica
" though you bond a contract with him" said C.C
" I do ..but that contract is not yet sealed . It just mere fragile bond to tie me to him . If he was truly to be my master , he will be able to seal it" said Metallica
" such dirty tactics you have there " said C.C
" said the person who cast a spell on her accomplice" said Metallica
" Im merely leading him to his fate . If it means that I have to use such low tactics , so be it . Im already a witch . I live up to my reputation" said C.C
" and now , fate has start to unfold" said Metallica as he watch a pink hair girl approached the collapse young king .
" Indeed" smirk C.C
