Somehow I'm a villain in this story

43

The party ended and people already left. But the main thing was happening near the south gate of the palace. Those guests missed the chance to see a great drama, Elliot thought. He was still held by the guards. And he saw what was happening in front of him. The heroine, Elouise, is putting her hands on the hero's chest, and the two of them seems to be talking about something. Right in front of them is the Empress, without a care whatsoever. It looked like she's so done with their drama.

Elliot just laughed at how funny this scene was. The Empress was a waste to the Emperor. She could've been so much more but alas she was tied down to him with their families. The night keeps on going deeper and soon midnight came and now the moon shone brightly almost directly at the two main characters. He was fed up with what was happening. Then his right hand felt something, the guard, who was holding him on his right, had his sword on his waist and Elliot could touch the hilt of the sword.

Should I? He thought. There was little distance between him and Ali so if he pulled the sword out he could easily kill him. At the thought of Ali's dead body, Elliot finally went mad and laughed with happiness. Soon everyone turned to him. Then he with a few tug he grabbed the sword and freed himself while the guards were suprised by the sudden movement. Then he stood infront of Ali and pointed his sword at his chest.

Ali seemed unfazed but Elouise was scared to death. But still Ali pulled Elouise behind him and still looked at him in his eyes.

"She's the mother of my child.", Ali said.

Elliot couldn't even believe him, this was getting way too funnier, "...How touching..", he said mockingly. Every guard in the area was now targeting Elliot. As they got closer, he moved forward and finally the tip of the sword touched Ali's chest.

"Move closer and your Emperor is dead." He said. All the guards halted at their steps.

"Are you angry?", Ali asked in a low voice. He hung his head low as if not wanting to meet Elliot's eyes. Then he continued, "....Will you be happy if I die?"

The audacity of this Emperor, Elliot thought. "What if I will?" He answered with a question.

Ali looked at the sword pointed at his chest and said something which shocked everyone, "If it will make you happy then.... Do it.". The Emperor smiled while saying such words but everyone could see how much sadness it hold.

"Your Majesty!" The guards yelled.

"Ali!" Elouise called.

But the Emperor put up his hand gesturing to shut up.

Then finally Elliot realised something, he didn't want this guy to just die, he wanted him to suffer. He looked at the Empress and said, "Violet,  you should get a divorce.... And thank you."

He continued, " Ali I realised something, if I die you will be the one who suffer right?"

When Ali heard those words his heart fell and his body was shaking, everyone could now clearly see the desperate attempt to call out to the man in front of him. His face was ugly and finally Elliot was happy to see such expression on the Emperor's face. "Elliot.... Please... Don't..." he called swallowing a handful of saliva.

But before he could the man swing the sword in a swift motion and the sword struck his own abdomen. Blood started to flow at great amount. Ali caught the man's body and repeatedly called his name.

"Doctor!... Call the doctor!..." Elliot heard and then Ali called out to her, "Elouise use your healing on him." But she didn't move. "Elouise! I said heal him!" The Emperor demanded.

The Empress quickly came up and pushed the Emperor away from the dying man. The Empress has tears dripping down from her eyes. This was the first time anyone had seen such behaviour of both the Emperor and the Empress. "Get away from him! You monster!" She yelled.

Right now Ali's blood was boiling, How dare she? She took his Elliot from him. His Elliot needs him now so how she she say I'm a monster, Ali thought.

Right now everything and everyone was against him. His eyes met the eyes who were slowing dying. And finally, in his last words the man's voice echoed in his ears, "I wish I never met you."

With that the man was no longer breathing. He looked so peaceful. No one spoke a word until finally the Empress said her goodbyes to the man in her arms.

"I hope you will be happy whenever you end up. Elliot."

With a kiss on the forehead she announced.

"Elliot Cage is no more."
