Chapter 7- Terror

It's been days since Alicia leave the orphanage. She received letters from time to time but the content just said how she's doing well at the Forbe estate. Elise is on her guard starting the day Alicia leave. She doesn't smile like innocent now. She dedicated her life studying the magic and the divine power.

Divine power is like manifestation of spiritual power coming from god. It can heal injuries and illness. Given a person a divine power by healing can give a spiritual peacefulness. It also sources of light and life. A person who have the divine power can't die from magic. It's too powerful that can control one's energy surrounding them but as they used divine power, a Saint will have to bleed if uses a strong divine power.

The blood of a saint can be an elixir. It was one of the secret that Elise read from the book "The Lazy Lucky Princes". It was forbidden act because using this method can weaken the saint's body that cause of death.

But a dying person can be as healthy as one if they have the spiritual blood in them and that's the reason why Alicia the Saint continue to be in danger. She can heal anyone or anything in the kingdom and won't die by magic. Feels like an eternal life but actually didn't.

Magic is the illusion of power. You need mana that come from natural resources to perform magic. Some people used magic stones that can find by mining in this world, as they used magic or the blood is covered of the magic stones. It's still complicated for Elise because she does not have books to read about magic and magic stones. that's why the mana of a magician is limited. they can die of exhaustion. But some people have higher mana install in their body.

Elise went back to her bed after doing choirs. Sarah is already adopted last summer in her eleven birthday. A kind couple took her because she looked like their daughter who died from overdose of mana. Elise think of her as a replacement but Sarah is a wise child. She knows her boundaries and can save herself once she's in danger.

Beth is the only girl who refuse to be adopted. Elise knows that Beth love this place and plan to be independent once she reaches the age. Martha in the other hand married a viscount after attending the coming of age. So Elise curiosity got answered after that. Every lady in the empire will attend a coming age ceremony.

Elise woken up by the noise outside. People are panicking and some of orphan are screaming. Elise put her guard up and go near to the door.

"Shhhhh"

Beth is crying in her bed covered with blankets. Elise wanted to check outside but she's afraid that she will be seen.

"Get all the children fifteen years of age!"

A man in a black suit shout out loud and drag a kid and place them with others at the center hall. The children cried loudly as they witness some men trespassed in the middle of the night.

Elise see everything at the small opened door from their room.

"Who's that man?"

Elise couldn't recognize the man running havoc. She can't clearly see him because her position was at the back of the center hall. She can only hear and have a glimpse of them.

The children are drag from the room across the center hall. Their faces are full of terror as they were continued to be drag outside of the entrance. Cold wind spread wide from the open door, the heavy snow keeps pouring and the sky appeared darker.

Elise hurriedly hide near the window and watch them outside. The children are horrified. They were shivering from cold and their face are full of tears.

"The precognition of the Saint will appear. The white land will replace by red blood as a symbol of light. A soul will have the divine power chosen by God."

A man loudly announces the riddles. The six children wearing only their pajamas can't afford to feel the cold but force to the horrifying reality of death.

Elise wanted to go outside to stop the man from killing orphans. The Director of the La Papillonne is not present. The guards at the gate are already dead. The children who witness the brutality are keep crying and asking for help.

"P-Please don't kill me..."

Where are the knights?! Elise thought of them. How these people just trespassed at night killing people?!

Beth loudly cry after hearing the sound of other orphans getting killed. The sound of the bones cracked and the heads rolled on the ground. Face of terror by the orphans after getting killed remained.

The white ground is now covered by blood. There are twenty men surrounding the corpse of the children. They are wearing black uniform and a mask just like for bandit.

A man who wear black suit whispered a spell and one by one the corpse started to burn. The sound of burning corpses is loud just like the heartbeat of the children witnessed the brutality.

Elise froze after saw everything. She can't breathe. The air is suffocating and the pain in her heart is excruciating.

She did not cry but once again, she is reminded.

Why she hated the book "The Lazy Lucky Princess".

"Hell."

That night terror begins.
