King Stone smiles and turns to Rose, “If I don't go to fight, where I will go … It's not just me, you are going also...”
“What...”
“You must be bored sitting here … let's see the scene and your tiredness will be over.”
“I am not bored at all. I will stay here …”
“Come...” Within a few moments, King Stone grabs Rose's hand and takes her to the horse ... He takes Rose in front of him and he sits on the back.
King Stone grabs Rose's waist with one hand and pulls the reins with the other hand and the horse starts running fast. Rose starts shouting loudly, “Ahh... How can you touch me...? What are you doing.... why are you taking me to the battlefield …”
King Stone completely ignores her and keeps on running the horse … After a while, they reach the front of the fort on the battlefield. Rose was numb at the sight of the horrible scene there. There are sounds of people roaring, animals roaring.
There would have been a fierce battle, “Aa … it’s scary...”
“Do you still think I'm fighting for fun?”
“I don't want to stay here... Take me away from here...” King Stone looks at Rose with a cold sharp eye. Rose look down crying...
“You have to see this … you have to understand what situation you are in. Rose, you have to understand all this and get used to it...” King Stone stops the horse in front of the main gate of the fort … Rose sees how many soldiers are standing on the roof of the fort holding bows and arrows at him. Rose fills with fear.
The head of the archers shouts loudly, “Soldiers, King King Stone is in front of you … what are you waiting … Attack …..”
Next moment many arrows start coming towards Rose, “everything is over. My death is certain …”
Rose blinks her eyes and is ready for the excruciating pain. But instead of a sharp arrow piercing her body, a very loving patient hand falls on her shoulder. Rose opens her eyes in surprise. King Stone's sword move faster than the speed of an arrow. Rose stare in amazement. King Stone cuts all the arrows and blocks them. They don't have a single scratch, “What exactly happened now?”
“Where do you have hurt?” he asked her with concern...
“I think I'm fine.” she replied…
“Then come down.”
“What?” King Stone drops Rose off his horse … and in a moment the horse runs away and enters the fort. By the time Rose recovers, King Stone's soldiers surrounded her, “don't worry Queen, you are completely safe in this chain...”
In the meantime, King Stone's angry voice reverberates throughout the battlefield, “Octavius come in front of me...”
When Rose hears the voice and looks in that direction, King Stone rides on horseback and kills Octavius's soldiers. The effect of the battle is immediately felt by his fighting. Octavius's soldiers start retreating in fear, “King Stone.. King Stone enter to war...”
“What is it? How easily he kills our soldiers...”
“He is a human being..?”
“I don't think … that King Stone is definitely a cruel monster. Not a man can fight so fast...”
Rose watch … King Stone infiltrating the enemy army like an arrow and easily kills everyone who comes in the way. Suddenly an arrow from somewhere enters King Stone's shoulder. King Stone stops for a moment and at the same time Rose's heart stops beating. Rose become lifeless and falls to the ground, “Aa …”
“What happened to Queen? Queen take care of yourself...”
“Call Louis soon...” A soldier runs to call Louis...
King Stone recovers himself in an instant and pulls out the arrow from his shoulder and throws it away. He starts fighting again … As soon as King Stone recovers himself, Rose's heart starts beating again, “what is happening … what happened to me all of a sudden. If King Stone was injured then why did I feel pain?”
“Queen, are you all right? Take care of yourself. Don't worry... King is fine” Rose stands numbly without saying anything … All of a sudden a soldier shouts with joy, “Look at that, Empress, it looks like the war is over...”
Rose looks at the soldier in amazement and the situation is very different. King Stone's soldiers are three times the number of Octavius's army. King Stone have seriously injured Octavius and knocked him to the ground. King Stone is looking at the helpless Octavius in front of smiling at him...
“He is laughing in such a horrible heart-wrenching situation. Its limits of cruelty...” Rose turns away in anger and starts to run away from there. The soldiers run after her while protecting her. She kept running without anyone listening until Rose reached far from the battlefield, “I am Queen Orders you... go away...”
“But Queen...”
“Didn't you hear my order … I said go away, leave me alone...”
“As commanded...” All the soldiers desperately turn around and walk away...
“These is the opportunity … I have to run away from here as soon as possible...” Rose stand without thinking of anything and start running along the road in front of her. She run to the gate of some village ... in the distance she could see the village house, “Village. I can hide there...”
Rose stop to look at the road leading to the village. She was looking at the road. Suddenly, a black man with a horrible face appeared in front of her. He was dressed like a tribal. He grabbed Rose's hand, “Aa ... what?”
“Wow … what a great hunt I got today...”
Rose turns pale with fear, “How dare you … I am Queen Bethany, leave me alone...”
“White skin, sound too sweet … of course your meat is delicious. King will be happy to see the feast.
“What? Who, King … did King Stone send you?”
The man forcibly lifts Rose on his shoulders and starts walking towards the village. Rose starts screaming loudly, “What the hell … you will take me like this in front of King Stone … he will kill you... Did you understand... hey leave me... Where are you taking me... leave me...”
