Chapter 75 - chapter 75 - king of coin

The silence of the night was so deep that even the breaths of the jungle were felt to be frozen. A dense jungle, in which the leaves of the trees, having fallen, were scattered on the ground; in the sky, the Full Moon was scattering its full brilliance, but that light was meaningless for this jungle. The leaves of the dense trees were blocking the moonlight, due to which only darkness and mystery were spread below.

But suddenly, piercing that silence, a strange movement starts happening in the jungle—that movement was of someone's heavy footsteps. Those steps were not of an ordinary traveler; those steps were running fast, due to which whenever they would collide with the dry leaves lying on the ground, a light 'Crunch' like sound was produced. The one running had little time and the danger was perhaps right behind him.

After running for some time, those steps stopped after going to an open place. This was that part of the jungle where the leaves of the tree were not able to block the moonlight, due to which the light blue light of the moon was coming and colliding with the ground there. And amidst that same blue light, a stranger was also present.

As soon as those blue rays of the moon collided with that stranger, he, piercing the darkness, shone up. This was because that stranger person had worn a iron Full Body Armour, from which the light would collide and then scatter. But even then, in such little light everything was blurred, but near the shoulders of the iron armor of that stranger, an 'Elephant Symbol' made could be seen. This was no ordinary mark; this was the symbol of the Royal Family of the Guptes Empire, which is seen on the shoulders of Royal Knights. Its clear meaning was that this stranger was a Royal Knight of the Guptes Empire. That Royal Knight was tired, but not defeated. He had held a sword tightly in his hands, as if he were expecting the coming of some kind of danger upon himself. But the most surprising and painful thing was something else—in his back, a sword was entered from behind! This wound was screaming and saying that this was the result not of war, but of betrayal. Exactly in this way, as if someone had attacked from behind and the pressure of that attack had been so fierce that it, after piercing the iron armor, had lowered the sword into his back.

That Royal Knight, bearing that unbearable pain, was standing absolutely alert having stretched his sword toward the front, as if he were ready to face any circumstance. Just then, a rustling started in the trees in front. The direction of the wind changed and suddenly from a bush of a tree, a flying animal, after leaping, came over that Royal Knight.

But in the darkness, only its scary shadow was visible. Its wings were like a bat, but the body was absolutely different and scary. But that creature was not alone; as soon as it attacked, several more flying Creatures appearing exactly like that, after leaping from the bushes, broke upon that Royal Knight.

Those creatures had surrounded that Royal Knight. After which, they attacked that Royal Knight all at once. But that injured warrior struggled until his last breath, he faced those monsters with his sword, but he was not able to last for long before them. Finally, that Royal Knight collapsed. In just a few moments, the noise of the clashing of swords stopped and in the end, only the screams of that Royal Knight remained in that jungle, which slowly vanished into the silence of the night.

A dark room, inside which seeing anything was impossible. In that deep blackness, just a Lady could be felt sitting on a sofa in that room, as if she were a part of the darkness itself.

But just then the silence breaks. And after some moments, the door of that dark room opens and a sharp light comes into that room. That light, piercing the darkness, after being cast on the floor in the form of the door, makes a shadow of the light of the door. Along with that light, a man enters into the room. His presence was quite mysterious and despite there being light, only his shadow was visible.

The atmosphere of that room was very strange. This was because the light coming from the door, even though it was sharp, but it was able to illuminate only as much space as the door; the rest of the room was even now wrapped in the same darkness. That mysterious man, as soon as entering the room, after turning toward the Left side, first of all Greeted that lady sitting in the corner.

Now so much light was present in the room that the shadow of that woman could be seen. Her face was toward that man and she, after seeing that man, said, "That which I had said, have you brought that?" In her voice was a strange coldness and the ring of power.

That man, while showing Respect, replied further, "Yes My Lady! That which you want, I have brought that."

As soon as his saying this much, two more people bring a box into the room, which is kept on the floor with heavy steps. Seeing which, that lady stands up at her place and that lady starts going gradually near that box.

As she was reaching near, the temperature of the room began to fall. The surprising thing was that from inside that box, suddenly the sound of growling starts coming, as if as if some ferocious animal has been imprisoned inside it. That voice was not of an ordinary creature.

Now that lady comes near that box, after which that mysterious man opens the box halfway. As soon as the lid opens, piercing the silence, the head of a long-necked animal comes out from inside that box. That sight was as scary as it was also wonderful.

That lady did not get scared even a little. Rather she, after placing her hand on its head, starts caressing it, as if loving some pet animal. A cunning satisfaction emerged on her face and she says, "The King of Coin will like this."
