Chapter 12: France - The Evil Reign of a Corrupt King Part 4

Start from the beginning
                                    

--------------

Y/N: "So...there's an error that has occurred in time, making me a French commander in the process?"

Marie: "How many times don't have to say it?! Yes!"

Jalter sighed as Y/N looked puzzled. But seemed to piece all of the information at the same time.

Y/N: "So send me there."

Marie: "No I'm not explaining again-wait...huh?"

Y/N: "Send me to France. Master and they see already there right? If this me has gone the path of betrayal and is still connected with the First Flame, it'll be a problem..."

Marie: "You realized? That's what is was trying to do earlier, but nobody could find you! Where were you anyway?!"

The Incarnation of Kings looked away and nervously smiled, causing Jalter to sigh again.

Jalter: "Director. Y/N will be no better than any servant you select."

Y/N: "Hey? Jalter what makes you so different from the others than? Director..."

Marie: "Marie. Olga Marie."

Y/N: "-Ogra Mari. No one understands me better than myself."

Marie: "But its Human Foundation Value is slowly rising. This...French version of you is on its way of becoming an Alter."

Silence was all that was heard in the office.

Marie: "No offense Jeanee Alter."

Jalter: "I don't need your apology. Bottom line, if you do not send me, this situation will get out of hand."

Marie: "Do you not realize who you are talking too? I could take you right back from where you came."

Jalter: "I'm not sure if Gudako would allow that."

Just as if the magic key word was spoken, Marie begans to roll her eyes and sigh.

Marie: "...Y/N, don't mess up."

Y/N: "Aw yeah! Let's go!"

Jalter: "Wh-what?!"

Marie: "We do not need another alter singularity event. Y/N, I trust you know what you are doing."

Y/N's armor begins to form around him in ashes, as he looks back.

Y/N: "Did you forget I was a 5-star servant? I know what to do here."

Jalter: "Remember this choice, you'll remember it..."

Now...Present.
France.
Roi Y/N vs Soul of Cinder.

Should I skip to phase 2? No...I need to be defeated first, but when have I really activated it?

Looking at my counterpart, he began to mumble under his breath, curses, I could tell. I'm him, I would've done the same thing.

He grabs a sword, a man made sword, and that was the cue for me to start laughing at him.

Y/N: "You were born with the First Fire! Use it! At least when I defeat you nobody will kindle with it."

Roi Y/N: "What do you mean? The First Flame? It has not been used in a long time...such sorcery..."

Y/N: "Don't mistake it for sorcery, this is what carried our elders through the lands of old."

Instantly, the sword in my hand changes into a long pike. I began to throw it with all of my might at him.

He managed to dodge out of the way, but this starts another explosion he wasn't prepared for, blowing him all the way until his back hit a tree, halting him.

          

Y/N: "Use it! The First Flame! You can not win against me unless you do so!"

Roi Y/N: "I wasn't going to kill you regardless...just look at you. Another Lord of Cinder..."

Y/N: "Not another, did you forget I was you?"

Turning the pike in a normal sword now, I slashed multiple times at my counterpart, each attack was dodged by rolling.

Y/N: "Run all you want. Of all the things possible, you betrayed Canada?! Why?!"

Roi Y/N: "I couldn't win against the French! They were too strong! Now, with the First Flame, I can get my revenge-"

Another explosion sound came from the throw of my pike. He was bleeding and couldn't even bother moving.

Y/N: "I didn't give up Canada! Even when I was outnumbered I fought till death! I guarded the First Flame from Archduke, that's all that matters!"

Roi Y/N: "Nothing matters! Guarding the fire didn't matter! My people were still killed, burned, and destroyed my history! Our history!"

Y/N: "The moment we were born, we were told to protect the fire from the one who seeked after it! These things were bound to happen!"

Roi Y/N: "Thats where I cross the line! I'm getting my revenge on Archduke! Archduke will not best me again, nor that he will ever! You are too stuck up with what father said!"

Y/N: "What father said was right! And will continue to remain right!"

Roi Y/N: "Bullshit! Fucking bullshit! He said that so he hoped the world would treat him like how he treated it! It's REALITY! What he was dreaming was a fairytale! Think! Y/N! Think!"

I was fed up with his words at this point, what he was spouting was nonsense.

Roi Y/N: "You really think father was being real?! He was nothing but a little dust in our lives! I continue to live on forever because of this fire inside of me! There's no reason to rekindle with it anymore! There's no more darkness!"

Y/N: "We both live until we are 80! Where did you get that from?"

Roi Y/N: "Gwyn! There's no reason to fight the darkness anymore, the fire has becomes useless! It's only good for its power! He told me I live until there's a use for the fire! Other me, it's been 24 years. Not once have I bothered to use the flame against the dark!"

Sudden realization hit me like a brick, as if time slowed down.

Roi Y/N: "We are nothing but a carrier for our lives! Nothing but a basket to hold the fruits! We were raised that we would use the fire, but we don't...not at all."

Y/N: "I-im not believing what you are saying at all! We do use the fire!"

Roi Y/N: "No we don't Y/N! We fucking don't! We are forced to live in this world until the dark comes! It's never coming! As we watch all of our friends die, well still be here for a another couple of centuries! You can blame the Lord of Cinders for this!"

He walks closer to me, parts of his hair have become a light grey and his eyes yellow. Perhaps this what he always liked this?

Roi Y/N: "Once I'm done with Archduke, I'm after the Lord of Cinders and next! They have wronged me!"

Y/N: "You don't understand! They did this all for a reason!"

Roi Y/N: "I'm supposed to believe you just because you have my voice and face? You are too stuck up with being right or being the bigger man! You take father's words as a life lesson! But for me? No! I'm going to destroy France, destroy Archduke, destroy the Lord of Cinders, and then! No one will stop me!"
