妻子的谎言

As soon as Puma\'s skull hit the ground, Gudan shrieked in fear, falling to his back with a dread expression on his face.

"Rest in peace," Vlad uttered, slashing the blood-covered sword to the side for the blood to squirt on the ground.

Sato was shocked where he sat, he didn\'t know Vlad would actually go through with it. His eyes kept looking around, to see if anyone was feeling the urge to object but everyone was just cooled by it, including Erza.

\'Is this right?\' Sato questioned, watching as Vlad moved closer to Gudan.

Gudan was squirming on the ground, moving away from Vlad with fear all over his face, "Vlad, hey hey listen, I had nothing to do with this, I swear to you, I\'m innocent!" He protested.

Vlad suddenly stopped moving, "You\'re innocent?" He asked while looking down at Gudan.

"Yes exactly, it was all Puma and the king\'s idea, to take your powers and enslave the Vampires! I had no choice in the matter." Gudan spoke out, trying desperately to clear his name.

"I see, Selvin, please get the girls for me." Vlad ordered.

"Right away." Slevin left where he stood and walked out of the room, only to come back a short while after with the three mermaids following behind him.

\'Xianxia? What the hell.\' Sato was surprised when he saw Xianxia, Shuna, and Luna walking inside the room.

Shuna was quick to pick up on Sato\'s presence, and as soon as she laid eyes on him, she instantly smiled and waved her hands.

Sato responded with the same gesture, he wanted to ask them a few questions but it was neither the right place nor time.

\'Wait, how did Vlad get a hold of… Ktch!\'

While he was in his thoughts, a fast moving spoon suddenly hit his head from the right.

Sato turned his look over to where the spoon came from and noticed Erza was pouting with another spoon in her hands.

A weak smile hit his face as he sighed, \'Ahh, geez\'.

Selvin stopped behind Vlad with the three mermaids standing beside him, "Sire, I brought them".

"Very good, thank you Selvin." Vlad smiled, holding Luna\'s hand before pulling her forward.

"Ehhh?" Luna voiced out with her cheeks beet red after getting alarmed by Vlad\'s action.

Gudan was shattered in fear as he stared at the mermaids, all his hopes of trying to sway his way out of being killed crumbled the instant he saw the mermaids.

"Luna, please tell us exactly what Gudan did to your people and the crime he forced you to carry out on his behalf." Vald said with a small smile on his face, "Oh, and please, make sure you are audible enough, the whole thing is being recorded".

"Recorded?!" Gudan exclaimed, looking around nervously till he spotted a vampire holding a spherical orb in his hands. "Unbelievable, first you kill us, then have proof to back up your act… how merciless of you".

Gudan no longer had the will to clear his name, he looked to the ground with an agitated look on his face.

With a deep breath, Luna pointed at Gudan and began to uncover everything he did to them. She spoke about how he slaughtered all of her fellow mermaids and threatened them to enchant the wolf and vampire army if they wanted to live.

Everything was shed to light, Luna didn\'t leave a single detail out almost like she had been planning for it her whole life.

"Do you object to this, Gudan?" Vlad asked, grating his sword on the ground as he moved toward him.

Not a single word left Gudan\'s mouth, he was so irritated at the sight of the mermaids, but even more irritated at Sato who was just seated in the front.

"Very well then." Vlad raised his sword, "Don\'t worry, your soldiers are innocent, I\'ll do well to give them a suitable life when a new council is found… sleep now".

"No, wait!..."

Slash!

At the drop of the sword, Gudan\'s head rolled to the ground with his body following right after.

"Now," Vald slowly turned to look at Christian who was still being mashed to the ground by anti gravity.

"Son, I\'d be lying if I said I wasn\'t disappointed in you. My own son tried to kill me." Vlad voiced as he walked.

"N-No fa-father, you\'re mistaken." Christian struggled to speak because of the huge weight that was pressing him to the ground.

Drusssh!

The gravity suddenly disappeared and Christain could feel the huge relief on his back and instantly stood up from the ground.

"I never planned to ambush you or anything like that, Father! Believe me, I respect you more than anything!" Christian proclaimed, slamming his chest with every word he said.

"Somehow, the proof I have defies that."

"Yes yes, it\'s true I attacked Erza, but that was only because he kidnapped Loura!" Christian pointed at Gudan\'s dead body furiously.

"I would never do anything to hurt you father, when I saw the commotion going on I knew it would be the right time to kill Erza, I swear father, I\'m telling the truth."

"Do you even hear yourself? You decided to take the life of your own sister, and yet you have the nerve to justify it?" Vlad frowned as magic energy began to ozz from his body.

Completely dominated by the situation, Christian ran over to Erza and knelt in front of her with his head bowed.

"Erza! I know you\'d understand right, I didn\'t have a choice." Christian sobbed, "He was going to trade her, I didn\'t know where she was, I\'m sorry, I shouldn\'t have attacked you".

During all his speech, Erza didn\'t once look him in the eye, her eyes were closed and focused on the huge windows.

\'She\'s ignoring him?!\' Sato exclaimed with a shock driven look on his face, \'Come to think of it, I don\'t blame her, I mean he did try to kill her\'.

"Erza! Are you listening?" Christian grabbed her leg but Erza still didn\'t pay any attention to him.

"Damn you Erza! Is this how you repay me?! You traitor!" Christian shouted, with his fist clenched and getting fired up to punch Erza.

Sato was so close to standing up from his sit when all of a sudden, Vlad sent the sword he was holding bolting straight into Christian\'s from the back.

Erza looked at him as he dropped to the ground soaked in his own blood with a sword sticking out of him.
