Chapter 23: Chapter 23: The Punishment

Eric said, “What’s going on here? Who hurt my son and did this to him?” with a very angry face.

After he became angry, the palace became silent; even the blow of wind was clearly heard, and everyone faced fear of Lord Eric.

No one can say anything but just be silent. Even three boys are also silent, but this time Elsa came to Eric and told everything that’s happening, like bullying and fighting—every single story.

After this, Eric just became like fire and awakened his powers, then he went to John and used his warrior power, and this time his hand became red and glowing from his power, and he touched John’s body, and immediately John became normal.

Seeing Eric’s face, everyone trembled violently, and nothing even moved or talked at this time. John also became silent and did nothing.

Eric shouts and says, “Get those boys who did this to my son.”

After saying this, two guards run and catch three boys and lead them in front of Eric.

Eric asked who was main and who hitmy son’s face. Tell me now.

But three of them just trembled and had nothing to say. After some time, one of these boys went and held Eric’s legs and said, “Please forgive me; we didn’t know this was your son, ’my Lord.’”

Eric said, “Why, don’t you know?” “Very dangerously,” he asked.

The boy cried and said that they just joined here several days ago, so they don’t know anything.

Eric again asked who hit John’s face and made him bleed.

The boy replied he didn’t do that.

This time another boy came in front and said he did this, but John also did the same with him.

But John replied, “Yes, I did, but I am saving Elsa from those who bully and hurt her.”

Eric was so angry to hear this and said, “Kneel down, you three boys first; it’s my order.”

One who holds Eric’s leg kneels down quickly and says nothing, but the other two disobey this, and one says, “I am the son of a king; I don’t kneel down. It’s shameful for me if I do this.”

Eric replied. You fool, didn’t your dad teach you how to behave with the Lord and laugh?

I know your dad; he was so much younger than me, so just obey my order and say sorry to Elsa and John.

One of them did the same as what Eric said, and John said, “It’s okay, but be careful next time.”

Eric looks happy and smiles at the boy with an ego-satisfied face.

But two of them didn’t do that and said, “It’s not our fault. Elsa is a foolish girl and is also bullying us.”

Elsa replied that she didn’t even know them, so why would she want to talk with them or bully them for any reason?

After knowing the truth, Eric became angry again, and for the power of the Lord, he summoned his magical sword with blue flame and said, “You brat fool, you don’t know who I am, and rather than this, you disobey me and respectmy orders.”

After saying this, he throws his sword to the arrogant boy, and the boy tries to dodge it with his hand, but sadly he can’t, and his hand is cut off and falls to the ground.

Everyone was shocked to see this, even John and Elsa too.

Everywhere became just silent, and the darkness of fear was noticed on everyone’s faces. Everyone trembled, and the boy started crying for the pain of his hand being cut off and said, “No, no, why did you do this to me? I will call and tell my dad all the things that happened to me, and my dad will kill you.”

Eric laughed and said, “Still you disrespect me, brat. Call your father to take your dead body from here because I will show you the real Lord’s power.”

Everyone thinks the boy faces death now, and wind flows so fast around them.

After this he holds his sword again and tries to throw it again.

At this time Elsa said, “No, Uncle, please don’t do this; let them go. They already realize what they did.”

John also says the same to Eric.

Then Eric said, “Just for my little girl, I give your life as a beg to you because I love Elsa as my own daughter.”

The other boy instantly knelt down and stared, crying, and said sorry to John and Elsa.

John said, “Okay, I forgive you; it’s okay.”

Then…
