Falcon’s declaration was the memory that haunted First five years down the line in the middle of the night whenever she tried to sleep. She did think of that one moment her whole life because Falcon’s heavy gaze was simply agonizing.The Game that had happened a few weeks ago was like an aggressive volatile dinner party where all blood was spilled and death was constantly knocking at the door.“We are doomed.” First massaged her forehead and grunted.“Yeah, I can see that.” Second flinched as his face ashen.First clicked her tongue. Her brother started to annoy her. “I don’t mean literally. What do you mean– oh.” Her mouth popped with an ‘o’ shape.CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!A cynical clapped throughout the area. The sound traveled across the area and echoed as if it was in front of the microphone.“Hey, twins.” Eagle tilted his head, grinning under his mask.First and Second were rendered speechless when he heard that cynical voice greet them. Their desire to manipulate their youngest
“Look at that? You’re so ungrateful. Whose child are you?”“Oh~”“Look down. I am your brother. You ought to listen to me. That’s only fair.”“Ho ho.”“We gave everything to you.”“I did give you something.” Eagle easily answered him with his amusement face.“What did you give us?”“Freedom.”Second shut his mouth for a moment. “Ye- yeah. You did give us freedom.”“The throne too.” He pointed out the obvious this time.“Ye… yeah… you did.” Second face flushed and he stammered. “So tell me… what did you give me in return? That’s only fair.”“Our lo-”“I don’t give a single shit about your love. I am not curious at all. I am not Shadow. What I want is my fair share. Easy right? Give and take, innit?”Second stammered for the second time. “You-you're the fragment of Shadow.”“I am aware of that, thank you. But, I also have my own feelings.”“That… that…” Second couldn’t say more than that.Even if he wanted to protest, he couldn’t. Even if he wanted to deny it, he just couldn’t. Becaus
SNAP!Eagle snapped his fingers, starting to exercise his power over them both. “Let me point out something for ya.” He started, brushing off his long hair.His razor-sharp gazes penetrated them, denying their right to open their mouths. His pupils deliberately studied his sister and brother up and down, from head to toe. “You know you guys are messed up, don’t ya?”It was a simple question. It was simple enough or supposed to be so simple that they could answer him with an eye close. However, their conscience betrayed them.“You don’t really love her, do you?”“We do lo- hmph!” Their mouths were forcefully shut with only his eyes gesture.“Be truthful, you’ve long abandoned your sister and discarded your family, no?”Again, their mouths were unable to say anything. Their eyes showed a sign of frustration as Eagle flexed his power by repressing their mouths from saying anything.Eagle rubbed his hands together, the corner of his slowly curled up as his eager eyes pierced through the
However, to Hisoka, that decision just pierced and shredded his heart to pieces. To think that his beloved youngest even gave up on the twins meant that the pain that she carried was far greater than she could handle. Whatever she felt would be transmitted to Eagle. And he knew how hard it was for her to do it. The twins meant so much to her. She also sacrificed her life for them.“To think that you dare to betray the youngest?” Hisoka felt with unexplainable rage. His strong arms hugged Eagle tightly with his trembled body. His whole body and feelings were consumed with rage.“Ah~” Eagle’s body turned into jelly and he went limp inside the embrace.“Baby?” Hisoka gasped and automatically raised Eagle’s light body higher to see what was going on. “My baby youngest?” His soft voice demanded an answer as he tried to see under the hanging head.He raised Eagle like a newborn baby, placing both of his hands under his armpits and raising him higher. Eagle’s body suspiciously became still
“Oh, this gotta be good.” Orange Bunny mumbled at White Bunny’s ear.“So much tea… I don’t know what I will do.” Brown Bunny whispered at both of them.Smart couldn’t hide his excitement as the weather started to change violently. The soft rain that dropped on their bodies gradually became faster as if they were to be pierced by countless bullets.“Smart, how about controlling your emotions?”“Ah, sorry, Sir General.” He giggled low.At the same time, the droplet decreased like before.“I am a mere commander.” Smiley coughed low and deliberately glanced at Hisoka.hinting on the man for something obvious.“Any promotion will be handled properly at our own base.” Hisoka clicked his tongue and squeezed Eagle’s waist.“Ngh! Hurt…”“AH!” He released the veiny hand from Eagle’s waist and cooed at the youngest. “Brother is sorry. He is a bad person, right?”“Yes, you are a bad person.” Eagle whimpered.“O cho cho. Brother is sorry.” Hisoka patted his back gently. Hisoka was treating Eagle
“I don’t know that they will pull everything to the bottom?” Sly Hyena whispered at Smiley’s ear with astonishment. “I knew.” Smiley folded his arms over his chest. He indeed knew. Smart and Captain were vicious snakes that would never let go of their prey no matter what. The higher the position of their enemies was, the more they love to trample them down below the earth. Those were the kind of people Smart and Captain. “They should have been grateful that Izaya didn’t participate.” He mumbled under his breath and simply smiled at the man who stared sharply at the Kings. White shuddered upon hearing that vicious name. “Yeah, they should be grateful.” Izaya didn’t even participate out of respect for these two kings. He had served these kings starting from their ascending day and until a while ago. And most ironically, he did it out of his own volition. “He loves the kings.” Brown Bunny intercepted. “He sure did.” Blue Bunny scowled. “Not more than our youngest, though.” Black
“I am pitying the Kings,” Petal snorted.Brown was intrigued and leaned in. “Did you respect the Kings?”“Who says that?” Petal raised his brow.“You are pitying them.”“So? Can’t I even feel it?” “Once a pity comes to you, you will try to pay attention to them. And once it happens, respect will slowly build up inside you.” Someone else at the back interjected with their murderous aura.“That…” Petal arched his head to the back. The ever silent Shizuo came into view. “Are you talking according to your personal experience, oh my kind sir?”Shizuo bit his lower lip and looked down, a guilt surfaced from that face. ‘Unless my eyes go blind, I will never see that happen by my own volition. I will stop respecting those who don’t deserve that.’“Why did you say that?” Both Brown and Shizuo raised their heads and watched Petal deeply after listening to Petal’s sincere mind.Petal shrugged his shoulders and looked at the front once again. “Not everyone is deserving of respect, respect is ea
“Indeed…” He sighed. “But, I don’t want that.” “But why?” He twisted his waist and faced Eagle that already leaned his back against the bench while crossing his arms. “Because death is too easy for them.” “Oh!” That sound popped out of his lips. “I can’t let them have an easy death. Shadow has suffered enough.” “Obviously.” “We will punish them by letting them survive this world.” “What punishment should we inflict upon them?” Realizing that Eagle had no intention to forgive the twins, he felt happy. “An eternal work.” An eternal work!!! It was indeed an ideal punishment to monopolize the kings’ power. “I see…” The smile on Hisoka’s face appeared for the first time after the accusation ended. “It is indeed a befitting punishment for them.” An eternal work was an endless punishment that the twins would have to carry for the rest of their life. They would keep their position as the lords of SO but with additional work. In other words, they would become an eternal slave of
