Roswaal widened his eyes and lean in with interest.
Everyone laid their eyes on the dimly lit up window as it began to change suddenly as if a vision inside of it was playing. Colors and shapes all mixed up and reverted inside of the giant square shape.
And then the image of a grassy green field was paused on the screen.
The screen showed what appeared to be a young man, standing in the middle of said field.
"Who's that?" Julius asked, a feeling of prohibition and caution filling him as he narrowed his sharp eyes at the image of the faraway person.
The window seemed to inch closer and closer towards the figure of the young man… Who was revealed to be…
"Subaru-kun?"
"Subaru?"
Emilia and Rem gasped suddenly as they looked on. Everyone watching the vision stared back at the sleeping young man in puzzlement as they watched.
"So it was truly Subaru-sama they were focused on." Crusch mused as she glared at the closing-in image of the young man.
Everyone's eyes widened as a shivering, broken, hoarse-sounding voice spoke through the window.
"How long are you going to fight for them?" The voice questioned through the window, the voice unsettling almost every person in the room.
"What the hell is happenin'?" Garfiel growled out as he watched the window zooming in on his captain's standing form.
"Who was that?!" Otto asked with his eyes wide with concern for Subaru, not liking this frighting position he was in at all.
"How long are you willing… to endure this pain?" Subaru was shown bleeding all over. As he fell on his knees with his head hung low, a small grunt of pain escaping his bloodied lip. Wounds and cuts are shown all over his tracksuit.
The knights and candidates started watching with alarmed looks and expressions as they noticed how dire the situation was for the boy on the screen.
"Subaru!" Emilia called out in panic, her amethyst eyes filled with horror and fear for the boy. Holding a hand to her chest as her heartbeat increased heavily.
"Natsuki Subaru…" The voice blew out with a chuckle as some shadow towered over the black-haired young man. "You were a most disgusting prey." The amused tone coming from the speaker filled the room as something towered over Subaru's exhausted kneeling form.
"What is it we are seeing?" Reinhard spoke with an expression of disturbance and anger for seeing his friend in such a position.
"This must be some sort of vision." Julius replied to his friend as he too held an expression of calmed anger and a bit of worry for the young man on the screen.
"A vision of what?! Who's doing this to Subaru-kun?!" Rem growled as her eyes shone her hatred towards the demon speaking down towards her hero.
"Of the future perhaps?" Crusch answered the maid with her eyes analyzing every inch of the scene playing before her. Her heart beating heavily for the safety of the boy although she knew a losing battle when she sees one. With his wounds and his enemy's smug tone… Subaru had already lost this battle.
But the duchess bit her lip and watched with an anger building so swiftly as she already prepared herself to oath revenge against whoever was doing this.
"You were so useless!" The voice broke into maddened laughter as the shadow towering over Subaru trembled in place. Indicating that whoever was laughing was the person standing over Subaru's form and their shadow was shown on the screen.
The window finally moved away from Subaru's form…
Showing a plethora of bleeding corpses and bodies littered all around the kneeling boy.
Everyone's eyes widened at the sight, some were so horrified they had to look away.
"Is-is that…?!" Reinhard uttered with his face twisted in shock as he noticed the body of a small blonde girl amongst the ones around Subaru… Felt.
"That's…" Emilia muttered softly as she watched the scene in disbelief. She was dead… Her corpse was right behind Subaru…
The half-elf trembled in fear.
One by one their bodies were shown all around him. Bleeding, cut, wounded, brutalized.
Candidates and their knights, villagers and their kids, smaller noblemen and women.
All of them filled up the entire field, grass turning red as the masses of corpses bled.
"What?!" Garfiel shouted with his eyes wide and body completely falling limp at the shocking sight.
Rem and Emilia gasped with tears filling their eyes at the image.
Al quickly noticed his lady's body amongst them and bit his lip in anger.
Reinhard and Julius quickly moved to analyze every aspect of the scene to see if this was a reality that might come.
"This must be an apparition! There is no way such a monster exists!" Julius shouted in disgust as he noticed his entire camp along with Ana and himself, dead on the ground.
He wouldn't have failed to save her! He was the greatest knight!
"Crusch-sama!" Felix shouted in outrage as he noticed his own corpse hunched over someone with green colored hair.
Someone that had been cut in half from the legs up.
It was clearly his lady.
The duchess herself found it appropriate to intensify her glare to relieve some of her boiling rage.
"What could possibly be strong enough to cause such massacre?!" The aristocratic leader growled while slamming her fist on her armrest.
As the cast watched, the shadow began to move over towards Subaru on the screen.
"Subaru-kun, run!" Rem shouted in despair, unable to tell if the scene was real or not from how horrifying it was. She had never seen this much blood in her life.
The entity strode forward before the window, standing right over the hunched boy.
A black covered entity with glowing red eyes, two very large horns on each in of its forehead. It was all just black. Darkness covered this being completely.
And it leaned down over Subaru's trembling wounded body.
