Meanwhile, in the hallway of the imperial palace of Hendrik Empire, Niall halted from his tracks. He turned his head in the window to his side, lips hooking up into an amused smirk.
When he blinked, the window shattered as a loud crash exploded in his ears. Opening his eyes ever so tenderly, dust from the debris of the wall ascended, only to get blown away by the midnight breeze through the now-wrecked window. Glass shards and dust were on the floor.
He raised his fist, wiping the blood off of his cheek with the back of his glove. He glanced at where the halberd crashed into, seeing that the wall in the hallway had this huge hole.
"Your Majesty!" Knights from the ends of the hallway rushed to see the sudden commotion, only to see one of the emperor's aides was slumped on the floor.
"Isn't she amazing?" Niall muttered, glancing at his aide, who staggered back in shock. "How pathetic."
