@multimuseumâ sent:Â "Oh dear. What a COMPROMISING position you've caught us in." While his words were apologetic, his expression was anything BUT. Ardyn crouched over the broken form of the King's advisor, straightening himself up. "A little EXTRA motivation never HURT anyone-- rather, never hurt ME." The grin he bore was sadistic. He kicked his foot out, nudging the body before him JUST enough so it would roll down the pile of debris they'd stood on. "Consider this a GIFT for the TRUE KING."
The immediate punch of sickness hit his guts as he took in the sight of Ardyn and Ignis.
The first thought was denial. No. This couldnât be happening. It wasnât happening. It was no more than a trick of the mind. A nightmare. Heâd wake up and thenâ.... Down went his companion with no sign of fight in him. No sign of... anything in him, pushed faster than the shock stricken Gladiolus could move to catch him.Â
Then came anger. Seething and boiling off of his entire being until he was sure there was no shred of kindness left in his aura.
âYou fucking bastard!â He spat out as he charged forward with his blade Hyperion aimed and ready to swing out at Ardyn upon reaching a range where he could make contact.Â
There was no world where heâd allow anyone to harm Ignis and make it out alive themselves even if it meant meeting the same fate in the process.
