“I declare war on the world.”
Silence.
The words hung in the air, thick and suffocating.
Meleonora’s eyes twitched at his arrogance.
Her body, still weak from the electric shock, trembled as she forced herself to her feet.
The two men standing beside her instinctively tried to stop her, but she shoved their hands away.
Her breath was uneven, her face twisted in a mix of rage and incredulity.
“Yoiii brat enough of this already!”
She took a shaky step forward, fire burning in her eyes.
“Just because you launched a few missiles, you think you have the right to spout nonsense like this to the General?!”
Lucian turned his face to her a confused expression on his face.
Meleonora’s breath hitched as she turned her gaze to the General.
her body trembling but pride and heroicness emanating from her.
“The man standing in front of you isn’t just anyone.”
Her voice was filled with pride.
“He is a World War veteran, a decorated marshal with the highest clearance! A man who has stood at the top of military command! Do you think your pathetic little stunt amounts to anything compared to what he’s done?!”
She scoffed.
“What do you mean ‘he hasn’t done anything’? Do you even know who you’re talking about?”
Her voice grew louder, filled with conviction.
“This man” she pointed at the General, “has ordered the launch of tens of thousands of missiles back when you were just a baby playing in your mother’s arms!”
She took another step forward.
Her body was still weak, but her spirit burned fiercely.
“You think you conquered the world just because you launched seven measly missiles?”
“Pathetic.”
Meleonora spat the word out like venom.
Lucian looked at her with weird expression.
But the purple-haired man, who had been standing quietly on the side, suddenly stiffened.
His eyes darted back and forth between Meleonora and Lucian.
Wait… missiles?
A realization dawned upon him.
He swallowed hard, his mind rewinding to what had happened just minutes ago.
Lucian had asked him for a number.
And he
He had said seven.
His eyes widened.
Wait.
Did that mean
I… I gave the order?
His breath hitched.
A strange feeling of horror and excitement rushed through him.
What the fuck did I just do?
He suddenly felt lightheaded.
Does this mean… I can brag to my grandkids that I once ordered missile strikes?that too not just one but total on Seven he grinned
His thoughts spiraled between terror and the insane realization of what had just happened.
But ehhhh wait… won’t the secret agencies suspect me too?!

wtffffffffff will they cought me too…but i didn’t do anything
His hands clenched.
I’M SCREWED.
Meanwhile, Meleonora continued.
She was standing tall now, glaring at Lucian with pure disdain.
“You’re nothing but a frog in a well, arrogant brat.”
Her voice was sharp, cutting.
“You may have gotten lucky with your little stunt, but don’t let it get to your head.”
Lucian simply blinked.
The room fell silent.
And then
The General sighed facepalming as he couldn’t look at this no more.
Lucian… smirked.
And for the first time since Meleonora had started her speech, the two men Lucian and the General turned to each other.
Their expressions…
Were weird.
As if they were both looking at something utterly ridiculous.
A shared understanding passed between them.
Neither of them interrupted Meleonora.
They just stood there, watching her rant.
Watching her storm forward.
Watching her try to uphold her noble ideals.
And yet
They both had the same expression on their faces.
lipsmacked
“What the fuck is she even talking about?”
Their eyes practically said it all.
They didn’t even need to respond.
They just let her keep talking.
Let her believe whatever she wanted to believe.
And let her have her little moment.
Because none of it mattered.
Lucian simply exhaled.
He took out his phone, glancing at the time.
And then
Lucian smiled.
The General sighed heavily, rubbing his temples. He couldn’t watch this anymore.
Meleonora, however, was far from finished.
“General, don’t worry. I’ve understood everything perfectly.”
She took a bold step forward, her chest puffed up with righteous fury.
“I will personally teach this arrogant brat a lesson! Who does he think he is?!”
Her eyes burned with indignation as she glared at Lucian.
“It’s one thing to do something this extreme, but how dare he disrespect you, the President, and even the Queen?!”
Her voice was filled with righteous anger.
“He acts like they don’t have the power to do something like this!”
Lucian’s lips twitched.
His body trembled slightly not from rage, but from laughter.
The General, on the other hand, facepalmed.
He could no longer watch this woman embarrass herself like this.
“Meleonora… you’re misunderstanding something here just listen they really weren’t missiles”.”
He tried, one last time, to stop her.
She didn’t listen.
“No, General! I know exactly what’s going on!”
Her voice was full of certainty.
“Yes, what he did was extreme. Yes, he’s a lunatic. But let’s not act like the leaders of the world don’t have the power to do the same thing!”
Lucian finally lost it.
He slapped a hand over his face, his shoulders shaking violently as he laughed.
Meleonora mistook his reaction entirely.
She grinned, mistaking his laughter for fear.
“Aha! Now you’re scared, aren’t you?”
She smirked.
“Now that you’ve realized the gravity of your crime, you’re trying to backtrack, aren’t you?”
Lucian dragged a hand through his hair, his laugh turning almost hysterical.
The General exhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Meleonora…listen to me…
She ignored him.
“You can’t fool me! I heard everything with my own ears. You fired weapons of mass destruction! I”
Lucian suddenly snapped his head up, his expression twisted between laughter and exasperation.
His voice was calm, yet undeniably sharp.
“Yoiiii dumb woman.”
His golden eyes locked onto her.
“They weren’t missiles for real lucian said as he cant take more nonsense of this women.
Meleonora blinked.
The General visibly wiped sweat from his forehead.
Lucian tilted his head his his body trembling.
“This woman is too stupid to understand even if you told her the truth yourself.”
Meleonora gritted her teeth.
“Oh, now you’re lying to cover up your crime?”
She folded her arms, stepping closer.
“You’re just scared to admit it, aren’t you? That’s why you’re making excuses now!”
look here i had recorded every talk in here now…you can’t lie here i have proof now meleonora shook in mobile in air as another win.
Lucian slapped a hand over his face, groaning.
His hand ruffled through his hair in pure frustration.
he wanted to pull his hairs out.
The General sighed, pinching the space between his brows.
“Meleonora… just stop.”
She wasn’t listening.
“And that whole ‘destroying the island’ thing? Oh please. Even if you did fire seven missiles, it wouldn’t be enough to wipe out an entire island. Do you even know how much firepower that would take? You’re just”
Lucian suddenly let out a deep, breathless laugh.
“Hahhh… man, this women is just too… dumb.”
His eyes gleamed with amusement.
“You really don’t get it, do you?”how did someone like you got this high position in gov
He shook his head sighing.
Meleonora crossed her arms.
Lucian wiped away a tear of laughter, his smirk widening as he looked at Meleonora.
“Ahhh, yes, you’re absolutely right.” His voice was light, amused, almost teasing. “Islands can’t be destroyed that easily. You were just dumb enough to think otherwise.”
Meleonora folded her arms, her glare sharp.
“Exactly. Even the heaviest missiles wouldn’t be enough to completely wipe out an island. It’s not possible.” She stated with confidence, as if she was educating him.
She even explained to him…maybe he is too dumb to know limits of those weapons…if missiles could really do that much damage won’t world be over by now..she thought
Lucian chuckled.
“Yeah, yeah, of course.” His golden eyes gleamed with something unsettling. “It’s not like they’re gone yet.”
Meleonora frowned, sensing something off.
“What do you mean by ‘yet’?”
Lucian’s smirk widened. He tilted his head, raising his hand into the air.
“Actually, they’re still on their way.”
Meleonora’s breath hitched.
Lucian glanced at his wristwatch, then smiled.
“Just a few more seconds now.”
The General’s face darkened.
Three.”
“Two.”
The General’s expression darkened.
Lucian grinned.
“One.”
And then
