《Death Queen become the rich Villianess》 Travel into novel I am the most wanted criminal, god of assassination known as death queen. Being strong enough to kill an army of 80 well equipped soldiers or assassinating people like passing wind was not the only reason countries tried to capture me dead or alive. Poisoning, disguising, stealing, creating weapons, knowledge in bombs and secrets of top countries were what made them wary of me. Large bounty for my head or treasures offered just to capture me were not enough to bring me down. No one dared to raise their head in front of my eyes that were red like blood shot rubies. Albino snake with red eyes and silver hair, and cunning fox were other names I was used to. Killing, poisoning, stealing were some skills I had expertise from a young age. As an orphan and growing in a guild, my master taught me skills that I could use for my survival in this cruel world. The world that abandoned me never deserved any sympathy or mercy. Humans are just beings who are selfish. Some care about their families while others just live for their own desires. Growing as an orphan, I never felt love or human warmth. Then why should I be someone who loves these selfish fellows? Being a snake or fox for others never bothered me. My only aim in this live was to survive, be rich, never bow to others and live like a queen. Death queen who had distinct red eyes that gave chills to anyone who gazed at them, and silver hair never showed her face to others. Wearing a black assassin suit and covering her face with a fox mask she went around stealing most precious jewels and murdering cruel authorities. She killed brutally without any guilt. Why should she feel guilty for punishing these cruel and filthy humans who were the reason for many families never ending sorrow? I never wanted to be venerated or called holy. I knew for others I am just a psycho killer, but that never matters to me. For countries she was a cruel criminal who possessed great threat to their leaders and economy. Continuous failures in capturing her lead the countries to unite and set a mission to capture her dead or alive. Meeting and discussions were held. Finally one day she was informed by one of her assistants about a sapphire that was famous for its ancient magic. For modern society ancient magic was just myths while for death queen they were something she found interesting. The news about this ancient sapphire known as ''The star of Adam'' attracted her towards it. She decided to steal it from country Z. Tight security was ensured in country Z where the museum for ''The star of Adam'' was paced. The museum was in a deserted land, with no residential areas around 5km. A winter night. I decided to steal this precious and famous jewel. Admiring it and keeping it for myself was something I wanted to do. A national treasure''s owner was something interesting and worthy for me. No security agencies had the ability to keep their treasures from me. I easily entered the museum and got my hands on the sapphire. It was beautiful and had a special lighting on it. As I was admiring its beauty I saw a piece of paper placed on a table beside the jewel stand. The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. Reading it "death queen, you finally fell into our trap. Good bye from this world. We unity of nations decided to bomb this city, just so that we could kill you, a growing threat for our nations. Thank you for trusting your assistant who is one of our men. From next life either live well or beware of traitors." I soon realized all this was just a trap. I still hoped to escape from the clutches of the nations panning to bomb an entire city just to kill me. *BOOM* I heard a blast followed by consecutive blasts. Holding the sapphire in my hand I rushed towards the entrance. The doors were locked. *blast* I saw a fire ball right in front of my eyes. The warmth I never felt from anyone is now the reason I am dying. Fire, it is warm. The burning sensation soon started to fade. I saw a bright light coming from my hand that held onto the jewel. It is calm and peaceful. The calmness soon disappeared the bright fire I faced in my death was now fading. I felt darkness eating me up. *Rattling*... "Someone call the doctor hurry up!" "Young miss, young miss can you hear me "- I felt my eyelids heavy, I slowly opened my eyes. A young girl in her late teens stood beside me. Her face showed a worried expression. Her voice was soft, but burdening to my ears. I already died, even if I am in hell, why is it so noisy? My blurry vision soon cleared up. At once I came to my senses. I was lying on a bed , my body felt heavy. The room looked luxurious. The ceiling had chandeliers made of jewels. The dress I wore was covered in laces and jewels, it felt heavy. I understood, now I was a patient, but a patient wearing such a heavy dress was something I could never even think about. As I was immersed in my thoughts of confusion about the present situation a hand slowly patted me. "Young miss; Miss Can u hear me, are you alright?" -With a worried and scared expression the young girl asked. Her voice was loud and my ears were ringing "stop shouting, I am not dead. Bring me a mirror first." I wanted to see myself, I wanted to confirm whether now I was a burnt human in death bed or did a miracle happen. I did not feel any pain or burning sensation. This confused me even more. Looking into the mirror I saw an unfamiliar face. She looked like a girl in her seventeen''s or eighteen''s. She had similar read eyes as mine. Instead of blood shot, they shined like real rubies. I could see hope in those red eyes, the hopeless blank eyes that were blood shot were the only memories I had of my eyes. Now seeing such a bright eyes made me wonder, how can a person''s eyes shine so bright? Her hair was silver with blue highlights. They flowed like white feather. Touching my hair it was smooth and soft like a cloud. My skin was now soft like rose petals, slender nose and rosy lips. Blushed cheeks and pale snow skin. My long silver eyelashes complemented the red eyes. With sharp jaw lines and slender body that is as fragile as morning dew drops felt like it could break just with a touch. " As I was seeing and familiarizing myself with this beautiful but unfamiliar new face of mine, the door swung open. "My darling baby....boohoooo booohoooo .... My baby what happened? I heard you woke up. Daddy missed you so badly when you fainted for 2 days. Daddy was so scared that I will lose you too. " A man came rushing into my room and started crying. He looks like a nobel, with a sturdy figure 6ft tall and, though a friendly expression, I knew his face was accustomed to expressing coldness. I guess this man is the body''s Father "Helena my baby why are you so quiet what happened to you?"-The man asked. "Helena? What is my full name?"I asked back. "Helenaaaa, my child, what happened? Did you forget everything? YOU ARE HELEN ROBERT MACKIL; The only heir to Mackil Dukedom" the man answered with a concern on his face. "Whaaatttttttt!!!!" "Helen Mackil, the villainess of the novel, I read?" I was so shocked that I blurted out without thinking twice. "Baby! What are you telling? Villainess? "The man asked with a concerned face. "Are you really Mr. Mackil one of the only three dukes of the Empire who rules over the trade centers?" I asked staring straight into his eyes. "Yes yes, your father is a great duke. Haha hahaha hhaha "he laughed proudly Am I really in the novel that I read before dying, that too I am the VILLIANESS??? What bull*hi*t?! Helen -the death queen was now a "VILLIANESS" Situation around me Life is always about uncertainties, but I never thought I will be a despised character in a trashy novel. Life as an assassin was hard, painful and lonely. Killing, seeing blood, poisoning and all other crimes I committed made me feel numb to emotions of love. Now I am a daughter who is dotted by her father, a noble woman who is rich, someone with a high society status, but an unfortunate unrequited love life. Well, does love life even matter to me? If I don''t fall in love with the male lead i can lead a happy life. Prince Albert Walter, I should avoid him,then I don''t think I will suffer like in the original. God does hate me, or at least I think he like to play mind games with me. Being a rich noble is not that bad though. I can play around all I want. Date multiple men and enjoy my luxurious life. As death queen I never got time to give myself. I would spend this second chance in life I got by loving myself and spending more time doing what I want to. Thinking about a carefree life ahead of me I unknowingly laughed. "Heehee heeheee, hooo, it sure would be nice to sleep, eat and play." "Daughter, my baby", "what are you thinking, you are looking creepy. Is there something worrying you my baby?" - Father looked worried seeing my smile. I cannot blame him for worrying. I knew that Helen, who was a noble, would always try to hide her emotions, it must be first time for him to see his daughter smiling like me. I had already decided to live for myself, so I won''t be bothered by what Helen would have done. Now it is my life, and I will live it to the fullest. I never knew what was laying ahead of me at that time. Only if I knew, I would have never thought about living a carefree life. "Nothing father. I am not worried about anything. I know you will always be here to keep me safe." I spoke smiling. I did not want to see this man, who was the first person to be sweet towards me, worrying. "Booohooo .....Booohoooo ....my baby is calling me father instead of DADDY" If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "BABY, do you hate this DADDY now?" Duke was more concerned about me not calling him ''dad'' instead of anything else. "What?????" I was bewildered by the old, big man crying because of such an issue. "Daddy, daddy, is that okay now?" I called him daddy in a hurry. He smiled and told -"yes my baby I am here for you" "Haa" I sighed, it was embarrassing to call my father daddy. In modern times, daddy was already something lovers call each other. It was also my first time to have a father who cares for me. "I''m actually tired, can I fresh up now?" I asked, so that I could get time to gather my thoughts. "Oh yes yes. I''ll meet you later, I have a meeting at he palace, I''ll make sure the Crown Prince treats you well this time "Duke told with a serious expression and turned towards the door. "Crown prince? treat me well ? Daddy what do you mean? "I asked. I knew that Helen and crown prince did not have a good relation, but what was it that the duke had to interfere directly? "Don''t worry my baby; I''ll make sure he will never act again that rudely" saying that the duke rushed outside. "Waaiittt" I shouted, but the Duke had already left. The young girl wearing a maid uniform was staring at me. She looked both nervous and worried. I asked her -" who are you? I think I lost some of my memories." "Young Miss I am Jannat. Your exclusive maid "she said, her voice was humble and soft. "Hmm, I see." I nodded "Don''t let anyone know I lost my memories. Only my Father and you should know. Also help me out when others approach me, whisper to me who they are." "Yes Miss" Jannat answered Jannat helped me to fresh up and change my dress with help of other maids who came into the room later. "Young Miss, which dress do you want to wear today?" She showed me many dresses which were shiny and extravagant with many laces attached to it. There were orange, pink, yellow, purple, dark green and many more dresses lined up. There were no modest dresses that looked elegant. "Do you not have something that shines less?"I asked "Miss we do, but .... But... "She stuttered "Tell me clearly what you want to say. I don''t like slow people "I asked glaring at her. She was irritating with her unusual nerves nous. I kind of understood whys he was scared of Helen, who is supposed to be a villain who dies at the hand of crown prince''s guard. "But we burned all those plain dresses as you didn''t want them in your closet" Jannat hesitantly told. "Huhh!!! Did I have such a bad taste? In men and in dress "I muttered. I knew the real Helen must have tried to attract the crown prince attention with dresses that was attractive. Her tactics to attract and seduce Albert, crown prince was all for vain at last. "Bring me the plainest dress that you have now" "Yes young miss "Jannat walked towards the closet to search for it. Soon she brought out a dark blue The dress had just one white jewel on its belt. The dress matched with the aloof and cold aura Helen was giving off. Jannat combed and tied Helen''s hair. She looked very pretty and elegant Standing in front of the mirror Helen mumbled "ahh I need to work out and train, this body is too weak." "I also have to write down all the things I remember about the novel, before I forget and miss out on the details and events" Orginal Story Getting ready, I sat on a chair that was placed beside a writing table. I ordered Jannat to bring me a diary and pen. "Yes, young miss" she replied and brought me a brown diary and quill. Writing the original novel in presence of others was a risk so I ordered Jannat to leave the room. Jannat was hesitant to leave even at my orders. Helen was always known as a villain who showed no mercy to anyone who is below her, even if they were her personal servants. I wondered what gave Jannat a mere servant the courage to say no to the orders of such a person. As Jannat was standing there without leaving the room I asked "what is it that you want? Why are you not obeying?" She replied is a trembling voice "that, young miss. Your breakfast." "Huh! Is this what you want? Didn''t I tell you to leave once? Should I tell you twice?" I glared at her. This time Jannat had no choice but to leave "yes, young miss. Forgive my ignorance. Please call me whenever you need. I will be right outside." "Yes, now leave." I ordered. Jannat left in a hurry bowing to me. This made me understand that for Jannat Helen was never a scary master who would punish at the smallest mistake. Now it was me alone in the room. I opened the diary that was new. The papers were white, soft and smooth. I started writing about the novel that once I read. "The novel was a three star rated novel based on romance fantasy. There were hundreds of comments blaming and harassing Helen the villainess while praising the na?ve heroine Clivat. The original novel''s name was- ''CLIVAT AND HER VIOLET PRINCE'' Clivat was the female lead who was the only daughter of Marques Selgae. She was a pretty woman with shinning brown hair Sapphire eyes, Slender figure and a cute and elegant aura. The male lead was Prince William Wolter -the first prince as well as the Crown Prince of the Empire. He had violet shining hair which was highlighted with silver .His eyes were violet that could pierce through anyone''s true feelings. His respect to every citizen and noble was not what he truly felt. He could slaughter the person he drank with the very next day without any lingering emotions. Villainess Helen and William were engaged due to political reasons. Helen fell head over heels with William since she was 15 years; on their first ball together. The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. William respected her but never loved Helen. On the victory ball of Duke Crater who was a powerful side character. Clivat and William met for the first time. William was attracted by the pure aura of Clivat and fell in love at first sight. A fated encounter. He ignored Helen and asked Clivat for a Dance. "My lady, will you accept my hands; to dance with you" "Yes your Highness" Hesitantly Clivat agreed..... Helen was made into a laughingstock for the first time by William on that day... As each day passed by William and Clivat grew closer and closer, Helen''s jealousy towards Clivat increased. William not only ignored but also insulted and punished Helen who made troubles for Clivat.... For Clivat, William was someone who protected her every time... But... For Helen William became an unrequited love who was engaged to her but didn''t care or love her. As Helen''s rage and jealousy increased she decided to poison Clivat at the tea party of queen. But..... Helen FAILED William found evidence and executed Helen the VILLIANESS through Grenard his right hand man. Grenard was a swordsman with blonde hair and blue eyes." There is something else I am missing, something very important. I better ask Jannat about this. I called for Jannat. Jannat came rushing in "Young miss, do u need me?" "Yes, as you know I forgot many things, tell me what you know about me."I ordered Jannat nodded and started speaking about the situations- "Young miss, this is a place where there are young talented elemantalist, and the imperial crown''s successors are light elemantalist who brings lightning into this world. But... Unfortunately.... You don''t have any elemental powers. The duke is a wind elemantalist...He can bring typhoons when he is angry" Jannat was scared to speak about my inability to wield elemental powers. "Mmm I see, so I don''t have any power?" "What power does daughter of Marques Selgae have?" I asked "Miss, lady Selgae is a water elemantalist. Crown prince and lady Clivat used to insult you for not having any power." "Ohh I see, you may leave now" "Yes young miss" Jannat left, this time she did not disobey or question my orders. Now I understood what the important detail I forgot was. It was nothing else but he powers that are gifted to many nobles and some lucky commoners Original Helen didn''t have any elemental power, that was an odd situation as her mother and father were elemantalist. Clivat was a water elemantalist... Prince William was a light elemantalist. Second Prince, who is the second male lead, was not a Light elemantalist instead He was an earth and water elemantalist...which made him loose his right to succession... Duke Carter who controlled the military powers had two elemental powers that were Fire and water; young duke carter was a child who was not lucky enough to receive his parents'' affection for long time. His parents were killed in a carriage accident planned by a rebel force when he was fifteen. A young boy in fifteen had to take over the huge military power and a wealthy domain. The relatives, imperial palace and other nobles were all cruel to this young child. Assassination attempts, political pressure, matrimony pressure and many other threats face by the young child made him grow into a cold blooded adult. William was always wary of Duke Carter. As the male lead of a romance novel, William successfully destroyed the carter dukedom that could have been a possible threat in future." This time I will not die and will not let, innocent duke to be played by that prince. I wonder why Helen didn''t have any elemental powers. Isn''t it normal for a child whose parents are elementalist to inherit at least one elemental skill? The traitor Young miss, young miss it''s time for your medicine "Jannat entered and spoke "Medicine? What medicine?"Helen asked. She was confused. There was never a mentioning about Villainess Helen being sick. The maid looked flustered, her fingers clearly showed her anxiety. Helen, her master was now a lot more intimidating than before. She spoke, in a low but clear voice. "Young miss you usually drink this medicine to replenish your energy as your body is weak" Helen thought "Is there really a need for medicine. I know this body is weak. But is it really weak compared to the other noble ladies. " She stared at the maid, who stood holding a glass bowl of medicine. The medicine looked like mixture of different herbs. It was brown and did not look appetizing at all. Helen stretched her hand and spoke- "This body is weak for sure, bring me the medicine" Jannat came closer and gave the bitter looking medicine to her mistress. "The medicine looks oddly disgusting. Sniff... Why does this have an awful smell....? I, I think I have smelled this somewhere when I went on a mission. Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. Though there are many herbs mixed together. There is a faint smell of Aconitum coreanum hidden in this medicine full of herbs. [# It can be used as a medicinal drug as well as a very potent poison. Do not use it #] Isn''t this a poison?" HELEN THOUGHT "Why why would someone want to poison a Duke''s daughter. The only heir. Is it for the position or for some evil aims to be achieved? Helen was shocked. .She knew about poisons as she was an assassin who was best at poisoning too. "Why would my servant bring me poison to drink? That too every day?" Helen stared at Jannat blankly while holding the bowl of poison medicine. Helen concentrated on her body "Now that I think about it, this body seems to be clogged and something is stopping a force that is trying to escape from inside me." "JANNAT WHO RECOMMENDED THIS FOR ME" Helen glared and asked... "It ....it ...it was prescribed by the doctor when you were 10 my lady " Jannat answered stuttering. Jannat surely knows something, she is scared... I need to know what is happening. Who wants to poison me? Is this poison the reason Helen didn''t have any elemental power? Who will benefit from this? WHO IS THE TRAITOR? All these were the questions Helen the death queen had to find answer for .... Helen wanted to organize her thoughts. Jannat was a hindrance for Helen. She ordered Jannat to "Go and prepare breakfast for me I''ll come down soon" "Miss, but the medicine?"Jannat was ordered by someone to always watch Helen drink the medicine. So she was reluctant to leave. Knowing Jannat''s intention, Helen glared and ordered in a cold voice- "I''ll drink it, you can leave now. I''ll be there soon." As a maid Jannat had no right to refuse the order from her lady. "Yes miss" she said in a low voice Once Jannat was out of the room. Helen was left alone. "I''ll check my pulse" Helen checked her pulse to find out that she was being poisoned by the Aconitum poison which clots blood and reduces vitality ... The amount of poison in her body was too much to be expelled within a day. Only a special and rare herb could cure her poison soon. "I will have to start acupuncture secretly and be stronger!" Helen decided that no one should know about her discovery about being poisoned. She knew that there were people who wished harm to her in the manor. "It will be hard to find who the Traitor is, but no one can escape from me." Scumbag Prince The morning was pleasant. Chirping of birds and cool breeze gushing through the window was so refreshing. Helen stood from her seat. The long dress was a burden to a girl who loved in modern days wearing shorts and pants. Helen went near the large window which was closed. The curtains were open and the sunlight was peeping inside like a playful child. Helen opened the window. A gush of cool breeze gushed inside. It felt like pampering of a mother. The green plants and beautiful flowers were heavenly sight. Dew drops rested on freshly bloomed flowers. The rose buds danced to the breeze while their leaves sheltered them from sunlight. Grumbled A loud sound came from Helen''s empty tummy. Helen blushed "Thank God no one is here. I should hurry and eat something. As this is the Duke''s manor I am sure there will be lot of delicious foods prepared." Helen walked to the dining hall; the Duke had already left for his work. Jannat had prepared the breakfast. The table was filled with veggies and just one dish made of meat. The meat was in small quantity while the bland salads were not spicy or flavorful. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Death queen who had a nonveg diet found it too bland just by looking at it. "I guess the real Helen ate veggies to maintain her figure. Ohh dear she was just a teenage girl in love... Why should a girl lose weight to receive love? True love should be give without differentiating between fat and slim, black and white, boyish or girlish. Why do people follow the standards of beauty others created? I can''t order them to bring more meat for now, though I said I have memory loss, no one will change their taste palette "Helen was immersed in these thoughts. She had no choice but to eat the salad prepared by manor chef. Helen was too hungry to refuse the food. The salads were good as it was made by the chef of a noble house. It was not spicy enough for the taste buds of a modern Asian. After her breakfast Helen told she wants to visit the library "Yes young miss, this way please" Jannat directed Helen towards the Manor library. ''It''s weird that I do understand this foreign language they speak .as long as I get the original owner''s memories back I''ll be able to find out many answers." Helen thought "Jannat tell me, why did I faint for past two days?" Helen asked Jannat with a confused expression "Miss that ...that ..." Jannat stuttered "Stop stuttering at every word you say" Helen glared again. Helen was already tired of her stuttering maid. She knew Jannat was nervous because she knew something is wrong. "I apologize, my lady, you fainted because ...because ... when you tried to push young Lady Silgae into the water. His highness crown prince saw and... And... Slapped you... You then fell into the water instead of lady Silage." "Heh, I see that scumbag not only ignored his fianc¨¦e but also slapped her" "Young miss, you ...you shouldn''t talk about the imperial family that way. "Ohh I see ... so you do fear the imperial family ..." Jannat had a scared expression "Young miss this is the library." Jannat opened the door for Helen. The library doors were huge. The lighting was dim at the entrance. The end of library had two huge windows through which, sunlight made the room bright. "I see, you may wait outside, I will call you if I need any assistance "Helen ordered Jannat who was thinking about staying with Helen. Hearing the strict order from her mistress Jannat retreated back. "I''ll call you once I am done" Saying that Helen went inside to learn about this NEW WORLD she had to live in. The servants The library was filled with cupboards of books... Each section was perfectly sorted. "I have to first know about this world''s class and situation "-Helen thought She walked through sections and found a book named'' my society''. "I''ll first read this" The book had a brown thick cover and its title was highlighted with gold letters. The book said -''That the highest and most respectful family is the imperial family. The kingdom has two Dukedoms The Mackil Dukedom and the Craters Dukedom. The Carters Duke is young lord Brakinson Carters who controls over the military powers of the kingdom. There are four Marques Houses and House Silage is one of them. Slavery is not illegal. The most prominent slavery guild is in the west market. Fire elemantalist is rare and of at most important. '' The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. "Hmm...I should visit the market soon"?? "The cure for my poison is a special herb which is rare .I''ll have to check the auction house." Helen muttered "Jannat ...." Opens door. "Yes my lady" "I want to see all the servants serving me ..." "Yes my lady, I will call them." "You may bring them to my room ..." "Yes my lady ..." Jannat left "I will have to find the traitors, and separate them from loyal servants" Knock ...knock... "My lady they are here;" "Come in." Opens door; 5 servants, Jannat, head maid and the chef enter... "So tell me your names and duties" Helen ordered. "Miss I am Anna - I help you with your hair" "Miss I am Mary I ...I ... help you prepare bath" "Young miss, I am your dresser. I select your dresses and help you Wear them .My name is Agatha" "Miss I am Dali I am the gardener" "Miss I am your personal chef. I am Chef Stella" "Greetings young Miss; I am the head maid. I organize everything after the butler. My name is Clara. I am a baroness" "I see: you all serve in the mansion since how many years?" Helen asked Head maid replied" miss, I serve you since, you were 1 year" "Anna and Mary started working from 4 years before, Jannat started her work when you were 15 that is 3 years before." "Daali...was born in this estate as; his father was also a gardener The chef works here from 4 years ago ". "Okay" Helen turns to Jannat "Jannat who helps you prepare my medicine?" "Miss...Tha...that... The gardener helps me collect needed herbs... Chef prepares and I..... Come to serve you" "I see you all may leave; I am tired" "Yes, young miss" they left ... "I will have to check their whereabouts, and who they contact outside of the manor soon "?? At night.... "Greetings Daddy, how was your day?" "Oh my baby, though the day was tiring; seeing you makes me happy." "I too am happy to see you daddy;" "Ha-ha, ha-ha" The Duke laughed. To be continued night hunt Daddy rest well, good night "Helen smiled and told. "My baby, are u going to sleep so early" "Are you sick? Should I call a doctor? " "No daddy I am just tired" "Okay, good night darling" Helen went to her room, Jannat followed behind. "Jannat you may leave" "Yes my lady" "It''s time to check my servants -" Helen wore a dress as simple as possible which was available She covered her face with a mask, and jumped out of the 3rd floor balcony. Clung onto a tree and sided down. Helen first went to check the servant''s quarters. She moved. Quite as a lion waiting to pound on its prey she was careful not to wake up others The chef was missing and the dresser was nowhere to be found. Helen went to the garden next. The gardener was sound asleep in his room. She checked around the mansion. This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Though the knights of house Mackil were strong, no one sensed her presence...as she was agile and experienced. "My body is still weak; I would need a lot of training if I want to defeat my enemies." "Now the chef and dresser are suspects colluding with Jannat." Helen thought that she should stop searching for traitor now and give some time for her body to gain strength. Helen went outside the manor to the back alley. It was a place that is full of Dangers.... Lurking around as many thieves disguised as beggars stayed in those slums. Reaching the back alley. It was all dark There was no light. Even the moonlight didn''t have its reflection. Death queen. Had a good night vision as she trained to be an assassin. In the back alley she saw young children lying cold and freezing. Without even proper clothes. It was not time to sympathize. Helen had to get the ticket for auction that was only sold in this creepy alley at night. There was an old building with creepers growing on it. The novel stated that a building old enough to be destroyed and filled with plants and creepers was a place that sold auction tickets "Knock knock" Helen knocked on the window An old man opened the window and asked what she wants. "I want cheery liquor" that was a sign to ask the auction ticket mentioned in the novel. The old man answered "The moon is shining a blue light" "Blue eyes are as bright as diamonds" Helen replied "Please come in Young Lord" (The shopkeeper didn''t know Helen''s gender as she was disguised wearing a mask and tied her dress like pants) Entering the building, it was completely different from outside. The interiors were shining with candles and gems fixed on the ceilings. "Lord this way please "the old man led Helen to a room. There Helen was offered a pamphlet. There were choices to which type of ticket she can buy. The bronze ticket valued - 20 gold The silver ticket valued - 100 gold The gold ticket valued - 250 gold Bronze ticket holders could only buy Herbs and jewels Silver ticket holders could buy - gems, herbs and slaves The Gold ticket holders will get the seat they wish for and could buy gems, slaves, herbs, properties; everything auctioned. "It''s better to not stand out too much buy buying gold ticket or to not to be able to buy anything else with bronze ticket"?? "I would like to purchase the silver ticket" "Yes, young lord" "When is the time of auction?" "The next auction will be 3 days from today at midnight" To be continued ~~ The night I see,then here is the money" "Thankyou ...thankyou young lord " the old man had a wide smile "Young lord here ...here ..is your silver ticket " Helen left the building.. "Its late I should head back to the manor .." While returning to the manor she saw a figure ,with covered face moving out from the manor to a desolate place . Helen followed the figure .

Helen calmly ,greeted the empress . her voice was as cold as ice but it was soft and soothing. "Greeting to the moon of the Nation , may all the elements bestow their blessing upon you " the empress smiled and spoke" come sit miss Helen, you look beatiful as always " the seating arrangement was as such .... the empress was at the head of the table . Helen''s seat was on the empress''s right side . Clivat''s seat was on the empress''s left side and other ladies had their seating arranged after that . All the ladies sat down . the tea was served .snacks were already placed at the table .The ladies started talking to each other . Helen noticed Clivat sitting opposite to her .Just as the novel mentioned , Clivat had silky brown hair , fair skin and an innocent child like look . Clivat noticed helen staring at her , and she gently smiled . Helen was a bit shocked as Helen never expected Clivat to smile at her love rival . Helen did not want to show her true expression (confusion) on her face . so Helen also smiled back Helen''s smile was gentle but cold . seeing Helen smile at clivat ,everyone stopped talking , Clivat''s face was in shock . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Helen had never once spoken gently to Clivat while Clivat always smiled and cared about Helen in others eyes . if Helen was known as a villianess for always troubling and bullying Clivat , Clivat was known as a forgiving angel .

" Clivat replied in a soft voice ,that it is true and she is very grateful towards her father for giving such a thoughtful present and towards the empress who noticed such details . the empress laughed and said ,oh miss clivat ,i am really glad to hear that you have such an elegant hobby of taking care of flowers . then the empress turned to helen and told " Miss Mackil, you too should learn something about flowers , loving my son can always wait " hearing the empress blame helen about not having any hobby other than chasing the prince everyone started whispering.

As helen was going to reply to the empress ,the crown prince entered . The crown prince walked towards Clivat''s side . he greeted the empress and looked clivat with deep affection. their eyes clearly showed how much they loved each other .Then the Crown Prince turned towards Helen , and spoke in a cold voice "mother , why did you invite someone who doesnt have manners ,while my dear Clivat is also present here " The empress told the prince to stand quiet. but the prince continued to insult helen telling that , she didnt have any elemental power ,and except from a good family background she doesnt have anything to even talk about . everyone looked at helen and started whispering, they knew that Helen would stand up , shout at Clivat and blame her for stealing Helen''s fianc¨¦ and would cry and run outside . but this time helen acted different she did not change her cold facial expression, she was calmly drinking her cup of tea. after the prince stopped talking ,helen raised her head , kept the cup of tea down on table ,and stared at the prince . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Helen''s thoughts] hmm, he does look pretty good with that violet hair of his .but he is still not my type. Helen is a fool to be trampled by this mother son pair even when she is the heir to Mackil Dukedome .but I am different . and this tea served is so aromatic and refreshing .their talk ruined my tea . Lusavs packet . Helen smiled coldly at the empress then she said "Your majesty i have prepared a small gift for all of the ladies present here" .Helen took out the packet Lusav had given her before . the packet was full of seeds of most rarest flowers . lusav had bought these seeds at a high prize from the auction house .Then Helen took out a bouquet of rare flowers that were never seen in the country before ,she presented it to the empress " your majesty ,thanks for your consideration about me and my hobbies , you are indeed true that I should never have ''USED MY TIME ON INSIGNIFICANT THINGS AND PEOPLE'' saying this Helen gave the bouquet. ''The empress was embarrassed '' then helen told the maids to distribute the seed packets to each lady present . after the maids had distributed, "Helen looked at the prince , she then spoke to the empress "ohh your majesty ,I only brought presents for the ladies who were invited I never knew the prince would just barge in, to a ladies tea party ,and also blame me for loving him too deeply . it is true that I once deeply loved the prince , but my dear ladies[turning to other ladies] I ...i ...was wrong , I shouldn''t have come between two lovers , even though he was my official fianc¨¦ , even though polygamy is not allowed . still I should have understood that I was wrong for trying to get respect, love and care from my fianc¨¦.

" the emperor already knew that The Crown Prince used to terat Helen badly ,but he closed his eye towards that because he was sure that Helen would never allow to break of the engagement as she was obsessed with the Crown Prince .He thought ot would be good for the Crown Prince to keep the Sulgae family close too . The sudden proposal for annulment of the engagement was a shock for the emperor too . "duke , are you sure you want to annul the engagement, i think we should leave this upto the decision of children " The emperor spoke. [The Mackil Dukedome was powerful as they managed all the businesses and were basicaly the bank of the empire , so the emperor had no right of forcing something his wish on the Mackil Dukedome. ] "I agree your majesty ,i would bring my daughter to you and let her decide what to do , i think we should make this decision soon as i dont want any rumors of my daughter being in a loveless engagement to spread any farther ."

" wait ,i will also come " the crown prince also walked towards the knight .

"helen spoke in a soft but cold voice with respect . "you really accept the proposal of annulment? , is there a reason for your sudden change of mind" The emperor asked Helen replied with a smile that she did not wish to be the topic of rumors and did not wish to be engaged in a loveless marriage . she also didnt wish to come between two lovers who already declared their love . the emperor glared at the crown prince , and then looked at helen , gave a cold smile and said "Dear ,Helen ,i know you since you were young ,i also know how much you love the Crown Prince , so i willingly came forward with this Engagement plan .but even if no one else is allowed to practice polygamy. the emperor''s situation is different.

Clivat''s words were sincere, i thought she was just a white lotus who was taking advantage of her innocent image . but this time i was wrong , Clivat is not that bad and scheming. And i think she can be a good friend . and anyway i am not the true helen so having grudges is not something i would do .

"heh !,she is sorry ? then why did she act as such , does she think we all are fool to believe her?" The duke spoke in a cold voice .

"What do you mean my dear baby , you must have just felt it , how can someone curse the daughter of a Marquess, why would someone even do that?" The duke spoke . But Helen was sure that something was wrong , there is something that Helen is missing.

His assistant James and the knights were preparing for the subjugation. Duke Carter though not interested in politics , supported Prince Albert the second prince .Brake Carter did not like the Crown Prince. Brake Carter did not believe that just being a light elemantalist would make the crown prince worthy heir for the thorne . The Duke had few spies planted in the palace . A carrier pegion flew to the duke ,it had a message stating that the "engagement between Helen Mackil and Crown Prince will be officially dissolved soon ." Enter Magic Forest hmmmm, engagement between imperial family and Mackil Dukedome was not solely for poitical , reasons , Miss Helen was obssessed with Prince William . what would be the reason for a sudden change of heart? helen started a unique buisness, is visiting auction house , buying slaves and now canceled the engagement!. the change is truly interesting. i would love to visit and know more about this rumor queen " Thinking this Brake smirked. His cold face was facing towards the direction of imperial palace James entered the room . "Duke , the preparation for the subjugation is complete . We would be able to complete it within next two months if everything goes as expected. " James duke''s assistant told . "James what do you think about a person suddenly changing ?" Brake asked "A sudden change? They must have faced something that led them into being a different person! Why do you ask My lord?" James was confused . "Nothing, I just heard some interesting news .[turning towards James from the window] Anyway if everything is prepared lets depart for the subjugation tommorow itself ." Duke answered. "Yes my lord". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ next day morning the subjugation team left the mansion morning . They went to the magic forest which was home for many evil beast as well as few holy beast . This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. Holy beast were very very rare ,and the only holy beast found were Golden deer, White lion , Red wolf and Unicorn . Holy beasts lived far inside from the area of evil beasts . After two days of continuous travel on Horse .Brakinson Carter , and his knights entered the forest . James stood behind to take care the mansion . Entering the forest it was complete dark as night ,the forest was covered with fog and it was damp . The knights carefully rided the horses .Brake led the knights to the west side of the forest where there were more evil beasts found . As it was the time of breeding and evil beasts were protecting their babies, Brake knew that they would be a lot more violent. while searching for evil beasts , a giant red scorpion came screeching to attack. The Giant red scorpions usually release a red venom to paralyze the enemies and posion them . Brake unsheathed his sword , as Brake was a sword master and fire elemntalist it was easy for him to subdue evil beast . The fire elemntalist who practiced and reached a higher level had blue flames instead of red flame , this blue flame fire was known as holy fire as this fire was mainly used to kill the evil beast . Even though the light elemental is only for the imperial family it was not as important as the rare fire elemental which could be used to kill evil monsters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ unsheathing his sword brake jumped onto a high rock , he gave the knights instructions to attack the scorpion''s feet .The knights had to stay under the scorpion to attack and to be not affected by the venom it spit , the scorpion shell was so strong that it could not be damaged by any sword . After the knights attacked the scorpion''s feet , Brake imbibed his sword with the blue holy fire . Jumped down from the rock , raised his sword and slashed through the thick shell of the scorpion . His black hair and tall figure with the moon behind him while jumping high was a mesmerizing scene. He looked like a warrior descending from the moon . The knights ran away from the scorpion as soon as Brake raised his sword because , once the scorpion was slashed its venom liquid would splash on the ground distroying all the plants and living things around it . The knights already knowing this, moved away from the scorpion and took shelter under huge rocks . After Brakinson killed the scorpion he ordered the knights to search for the scorpion''s shelter and babies . The knights started searching , and they found the cave hole leading to an underground cave . once they entered the cave they saw many egg shells lying on the floor , but the babies were nowhere to be found . This was a serious matter because either the babies died and were eaten by other predators big enough to fight against a giant scorpion or was taken away by someone . "Why would someone take the babies of an evil beat?" Etlanta Family ;New Foxins The knights informed about the situation to the Duke . The subjugation team with the duke went inside the cave to check for any details or evidence of abduction of the babies . Inside the cave there were eighteen hatched egg shells ,but no babies found . The cave had no footprints of humans either. It was a mystery about where the babies went . The Duke said that "lets go deeper into the forest and continue the subjugation and check the situation inside . we cannot come to a conclusion just like this ." The Duke was the commander in cheif and his assistant was Mr Paul who was the Commander assistant. Duke told paul"Do you remeber seeing anything suspicious on the giant red scorpion?" "No my Lord , the only difference in the scorpion was that it attacked a lot more violently than usual "Paul replied . Paul was a sturdy twenty two year old man with red hair and red eyes , though he was not as handsome as the Duke , many noble ladies were in love with his straightforward behaviour and elegant manner . He was not only a trustable knight but also the second son of House Marquess Etlanta . House Etlanta , being a Marquess House still was a noble family that always supported the Carter Dukedome .They sent their second child as a studypatner for the duke since he was twelve . The duke and Paul Etlanta practiced swordsmanship together since that age . Paul was willing to die for the duke . Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. After the search out in cave was done , the duke collected one egg shell and gave to the knights to keep , they then travelled further into the forest in search of evil beasts . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Though its been three months since Helen''s poison was removed, she had to practice to bring out the maximum potential. Helen still did not reach level to acheive the blue flame .Lusav who was now a skilled swordsman started teaching more slaves that he brough ,swordsmanship. Helen taught Lusav her skills of being an assassin. Helen gave Lusav practice for moving like wind , to take light and long steps and some noble etiquette. Helen wanted lusav to teach the assassin skills to other slaves . Now under Helen, Lusav and twenty assassins worked . among them fourteen were assigned in the mall , to take care of customer ,collect informations and report every detail .

And all other slaves should be moved there . the rest of the details and plans will be told after you do as i say . lusav spoke" Yes my lady ,i will do as you say . but ...but ...my lady you still havent caught the spies trying to poison you , isnt that important?" "obviously that is important, but now that i know who is the main spy near me ,i have time to catch them , i will have to build enough power before going behind the spy as i think its something very very huge and not as simple as a duke''s daughter to solve ." Helen spoke . lusav agreed to helen and told that once the culprit is caught he will skin them alive . Helen laughed it of thinking lusav was just joking, but lusav was not joking he really meant it . lusav was no more an innocent blonde boy, he had changed into a deadly assassin withing just few months of training. lusav always wanted to kill nobles , and he hated anyone who tried to hurt his only master , the only person he considered as his saviour ''Helen -The fox assassin '' Helen wore a fox mask on the days of auction , she also decided to keep the assassins team she makes as Foxins . ''Cunning and cruel as Fox '' Star gazing - warning from duke Next day lusav went in search of the building Helen wanted. After hours of search he found a building similar to Helen''s wish . The building was of a commoner couple who tried so hard to sell it but couldn''t . Lusav went to Helen with information of the building . Helen decided to visit the building and buy it herself . This time Helen wore a black dress with pants and a tightly fight top with a belt which was able to hold 10 different size knives and two small bottles of poison . The dress was specially prepared for future missions . The dress store prepared it was a broke down shop which noone visited . Helen wore a Red Fox mask this time . the mask and her dress made her look like a pretty devil goddess with blood red eyes and flowing white blue hair . she tied her hair up and went with lusav to the store . Lusav wore a white fox mask and dark brown assassin suite of men specially made for him . He had a belt which could hold a sword and poison bottles . The commoner couple had debts to be cleared so they were trying to sell the building as soon as possible . Seeing Helen and Lusav in such dress they were scared . They trembled and said " Honorable customers, we ...we can sell this building to you at at prize of 20 gold coins " Helen smiled and noded,lusav took out a pouch and gave them the amount(twenty gold coins) then helen spoke"This is the amount for this building , and (giving the couple 5 more gold coins) this is the prize to shut your mouth about the purchasers of this building. If you open you mouth ,you wont have your tongue, arms and eyes left to use . Do you understand?" Helen warned them . Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. The couple trembled and accepted the money and promised to shut their mouth . Helen and Lusav went back to the mansion. at the time of night helen and lusav walked on top of the roofs like wind towards the mansion . while going helen looked up and saw the full moon . Helen told lusav to stop and sit on the roof . They both sat near to near . Helen asked lusav "do you believe dead people become star?" Lusav flustered at such a sudden question. He thought for few minutes at told"i wish it was true my lady ,but i would want my loved ones to be reborn and meet me again.Not just stay as stars far from my reach". "hmm i see, todays stars are beautiful " helen smiled warmly looking at the sky . Seeing helen smile lusav replied "yes , so pretty" Helen gazed at the stars while Lusav silently watched the lady who saved him sitting so closely to him and enjoying the night . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As Duke Carter went further into the forest the number of evil beast increased . There came ogres , hynas , mad dogs , red bulls , and many more evil beast . Mad dogs were evil beast that looked like dogs but were as huge as twenty times a normal dog . Mad dogs had two heads and sharp teeth . Brake sliced all those evil beast with his powerful fire flame . His looked so cold blooded when the blood splashed on him after slicing the animal . After each animal was killed they searched for the offsprings ,but none were found . all the babies of evil beast were taken away by someone or something . The beast were lot more violent because they lost their babies . Paul spoke to the duke in the tent they build for temporary stay" My lord , there is something strange with the abduction of the babies. Who can be powerful enough to take the babies of all these evil beast without leaving any evidence?" . The Duke told paul that wether he remembers the issue of someone using evil black magic in the nation . It was not known to many ,but James had collected few informations. The black magic users must have been doing something . they must be planning something involving these beast babies . the duke warned and ordered Paul to look into it once reaching back the capital . Renovation and sudden attack Helen and lusav left after few minutes of watching the sky together. It was a cold night with warm feelings . next day Lusav left to do the interiors of the new building. Lusav was instructed by Helen to make small rooms in the new building bought . Lusav contacted a building renovation contractor . he told that it would take atleast 1 to 2 months to complete all the new renovations that had to be made . Helen also ordered lusav to make a secret tunnel underneath and make a platform near the roofing which can be used for hiding . Helen also instructed there should be a Main office room and other small cottage rooms . Main office room should be connected to a secret room from which we can hear all the conversation going on in the main room . lusav gave the planning to the contractor and went to the renovation site daily to personally check on the progress . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Duke and the subjugation team further went into the forest . The number of evil beasts increased rapidly . It was being very hard to keep up with the pace .Brake was the only person who could use use flame and kill high level evil beast . One night after killing almost three beasts the Duke and his team was resting in the tents . They were not supposed to make much noise as it would attract beasts. Fire was burned to cook the dishes . It was mainly vegetables and dried meat . The Duke was in his tent checking some documents when suddenly he heard a person of the team screaming . The duke immediately stood from his chair and ran towards the tent entrance where Mr Pual was waiting with some food for the duke . [Paul had some matters to discuss, so he was waiting with food too]. Seeing Paul , Duke asked in a cold voice his forehead was frowning "What happened ,why was someone screaming? Is someone injured? But why did they scream so loudly ? to attract evil beast ?" Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. Paul seeing that the Duke is angry immediately answered "I will go and check it out right now My Lord ." "No . I will go and see for myself . Come with me ." Saying this Duke went inside his tent wore his drape and sword and walked towards the direction of scream . As Duke Brakinson reached there he saw many other knights gathered there too . Paul asked them who screamed and why did he scream . They knights also did not know who screamed . Suddenly there was another scream heard . this time too it was the scream of a person ,but from the opposite direction . Hearing this the duke ordered Paul and few other knights to go and check . Brake warned Paul to not go further than 120 meters because it could be a trap to separate the subjugation team and attack . Paul went with other knights to check . As soon as he reached 120 meters away from the Duke''s position He ordered all the knights to return back with him . There was no one to be found in the place where the scream was heard from . Paul and the knights started returning in a rush . As soon as Paul reached near the Duke , earth below started shaking . Everyone knew they were in trouble as ,the reason for the shake was approaching of many beast together . Paul rushed towards the Duke . seeing the Duke , he told"My lord , i think as you told it was a trap . If we had went further than 120 meters we could have been separated from the whole team .The Duke spoke in a cold voice , His face gave chills , the air arround become cold "Someone is a traitor or there is someone who planned all this and is near us ." Paul immediately replied "I will find him soon sir " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Paul was an earth elemantalist and could understand the plants more than others . Though he cannot talk to the plants he could understand what the plants want to say . As it was night it was not possible to talk to the plants (it was all dark) . Paul knew he would be able to find the culprit next day morning with help of plants . "The fact that Paul was an earth elemantalist was only known to his brother and Duke . Helens first hunt Two days before - Helen knew that the duke had went for subjugation and decided to go to the forest to test her new skills . Though Helen was not able to master Fire element she was able to master wind element and make sharp wind blades. Helen wrote a letter her Father (Mackil Duke) that she would be back within one week and is going to check some new buisness deals .[Duke did not know helen could use elemantal powers] Helen left during midnight , she had already informed Lusav about her plan to go to the Magic forest . Lusav tried pursuading her to bring him along . But Helen promised to return safely and assured Lusav . "Lusav ,i just want to test my skills . I will visit the magic Forest and see for myself how far i can fight ." Lusav agreed and trusted his master . Helen wore her assassin dress - Black pants, and black top of leather with a belt to hold different sizes of knives and wore the red fox mask . Her red eyes stood out ,it was as sharp as a sword of red fire ,her white- blue hair was tied high into a pony tail .She looked elegant ,slender and tall . Helen moved fast, she rode her horse at the speed of wind . Being a wind elemantalist she was able to move faster than anyone else cutting through the wind like a sharp sword . [People take years to master each element, but Helen was different, she had great talent to learn everything just by looking at it once . Helen, when she was in modern world knew almost seventy-five languages to speak and write . Helen mastered the wind element within three months .She mastered it with tge knowledge from library books , she was not able to level up to Blue flame in fire elemental because it was far more hard . Within half a day Helen entered the Magic forest .Entering the forest she saw dead evil beast and dried blood . Seeing that Helen knew which way the subjugation team traveled . Helen sped up. On the way she encountered an ogre which was hiding from the subjugation team . Seeing Helen alone it came to attack her . Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. [Ogres are giant green human like evil beast , they showed many human behavior and travelled in pairs . seeing an ogre alone Helen knew that its other mate must have been killed by the subjugation team . The ogre rushed towards helen . Helen stood up on the running horse turned back . The ogre was following her from behind. Helen took out one of her knives and aimed at its neck .Then she threw the knife with her maximum HUMAN POWER but nothing much happened . The ogre was just scratched . Usually ogres had blue blood different from its skin colour , so if bled it was easy to notice . The ogre kept following Helen , it took giant footsteps ..and came closer to Helen each time ... Helen jumped down from the horse . Ran towards the ogre at the speed of wind , she was very agile . Raised her hands holding a long ,thin, sharp knife . Helen imbibed the knife with wind element and sliced the arms of the ogre(The knife was glowing green due to the power of wind ) . She sliced the arms at the speed and force of wind , which many people dont know how to do . An evil beast was never easy to be killed . So after slicing its arms , Helen aimed for its giant legs . Helen jumped up into the air , and with full force and speed glided through the ground , slicing of the ogre''s feet too. Blue blood splattered onto the ground .(While gliding onto the ground and slicing of the feet Helen was behind the ogre ) Helen turned back to see the ogre she sliced . Helen smirked and muttered "That was a good hunting , whew i need to train harder to use blue flame " The ogre fell to the ground unable to move . Helen knew she couldnt kill the beast ,so she walked towards where her horse stood . The horse was few meters away , she jumped onto the horse and started riding it without turning back . Helen was now interested to see what all monsters can she see moving ahead .She rode through the blood of monsters killed by the subjugation team . The forest paths were filled with smell of blood and venom. As helen had already taken the antitode (miraculous medical plant) she was immune to all venoms and poisons,.... the only poisons that could effect her was cursed poisons. Helen was able to travel a lot more faster as there were no more evil beasts attacking . The second day night Helen reached near the Duke''s camp site . As she was riding her horse it suddenly stoped and started shivering . Helen felt the earth beneath slightly shaking . Suddenly she heard a person screaming further ahead from her .... (That was the second scream. The evil beasts had already heard the first scream) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (where the duke''s camp was set) As the shaking increased the duke ordered the knights to stay calm, alert and draw their swords. Soon there were eleven evil beasts in sight. Six of them were lower level beast while there were almost five higher level beast . The Duke knew it was going to be a tough fight . Captivating killing beauty Helen decided to get down from the horse as the horse was trembling . She tied the horse loosely on a tree and whispered into its ear "run if you are in danger , i have tied you loosely" . After patting the horse ,Helen ran ahead towards where the scream was heard. She passed through thorny bushes and jumped through tree tops . She saw a camp fire burning ahead . She knew it was the camp site for the subjugation team and they were in danger(As roars of evil beasts were heard) . Helen moved faster with the help of wind . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Evil beast came to attack the knights from all sides . Though the knights were shocked at the sight of so many evil beast attacking them same time , they started fighting to death . the duke sliced the necks of those monsters while the other knights tried to stop the evil beast from attacking, using their swords and excellent archery.The animals continued to attack ferociously. The duke imbibed his whole body with the blue flame . Brakinson Carter looked majestic with his dark black hair and glaring navy blue eyes ,shining in the breathtaking beauty of the blue flame . He shouted to the knights"Move aside or the flame will burn you to death". The knights moved from the way of the duke and maintained their formation. The knights tried cutting of the hands and feet of the evil beast but ,it was of no use as they did not use any elemental power .The knights that had water elemental power stood behind to heal the injured while the knights with earth elemental power stood beside Paul to support his earth magic ... Paul as an earth elemantalist, raised the soild to trap some evil beast''s legs ,but it only lasted few minutes. .The evil beasts were so strong that they freed themselves from the soil with a little struggle . The duke continuously slashed the necks of evil beast ..... Its blood splattered all over the soldiers and Duke . The duke''s blue fire burned down every plants which stood in his way of killing the monsters . Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An ogre came running towards Paul to attack him .The ogre wanted to stop Paul from using his earth elemental power , Paul did not have time to dodge the attack as he was focusing of making more earth traps to trap the evil beast . Seeing Paul in danger the duke ran towards him raised his sword and slashed right through the ogre''s neck , Its blood and the blue flame was same colour , But as the duke was slashing its neck its ''pair ogre'' came running towards the duke from behind and raised its hands to crush the duke . Paul shouted from behind , "be careful My Lord , behind you ..." It was already too late for the duke to react and dodge . The duke''s eyes widened, his eyes held the whole knights teams image in it . He felt that his life in danger means the knights who trusted him will no longer be safe .The duke wished to be saved by someone .....for the first time . Suddenly a gush of wind passed ... .''whooosh''... A slender black figure flying in the air ,slashed the arms that was raised by the ''pair ogre'' with the speed of wind . The ogre that lost its arm suddenly stumbled, taking this chance the duke turned behind and slashed of its neck in one go . The dead ogre had its head separated from it . panting ....The duke looked for the black figure that saved him . He saw a slender person with beautiful shining white hair standing on a rock above ,looking down on the subjugation team . The person had a long sharp knife in her hand . Her red eyes that shined bright like a ruby that''s dipped in fresh blood was locked with the dark navy blue eyes of the duke that looked like the night sky filled with stars..... The lady smirked and jumped down . Her white hair fluttering in the air was shinning under the dim moonlight , the hands and legs were landing on the ground like they were dancing , looked so captivating. ''The Duke Was Mesmerized by this killing beauty '' The lady , rushed towards the fighting knights and used her wind aura to slash the hands and feet of each monster . as soon as she slashed their limbs evil beasts fell on the ground .... The morality of the knights greatly increased due to this saviour that was slashing the monsters like soft butter even without using blue flame..... The duke retuned to fighting ,still his gaze followed the beauty that was using wind element to slash of monsters....It was the first time seeing someone using some other element ,other than blue flame to slash the thick skin of evil beast . I will find you !
This situation was an unexpected benefit for Helen who came to test her skills . Killing each beast made Helen more confident on the skill she developed .Now she knew No one would be par to Her in wind elemental powers . Brake ,Helen and all the knights Killed beasts and made traps to buy some time. As the Duke was killing evil beast , he was surrounded by three evil beast dogs . Those evil dogs had two heads and sharp claws .They attacks in groups and always target one victim . Surrounded by three of those monstrous dogs at the same time , the duke used his maximum force and ran towards the one straight ahead him and slashed its neck using his long shining sword .Then the Duke aimed his sword at the dog that was raising its feet to stomp on the duke and sliced its legs, it fell on the ground wailing "kreeeechhhh....kreeechhhhhhh" . .. The third dog was going to pounce on Brake , but Helen came flying for the rescue .She stabbed the dog on its eyes with both her knife and pulled out its eye balls . The dog went blind and blood poured out from its eye socket It got agitated and started attacking everything in front of it .The Duke threw his sword towards the blind dog and Stabbed its heart with all his force .The sword peirced right through the hard skin of the monster and the blue flame burned its flesh and bones . .... All three dogs were dead ...lying on the floor . ... Helen and Brake looked into each others eyes once more .As they were fighting next to each other . Helen smirked and spoke to the Duke " You did well!" Brakinson muttered "Thankyou, wait for me after the fight .I will thank you properly." This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. Duke wanted to know the identity of the lady who saved him ... He only knew one lady with white hair and red eyes .That was the Mackil Dukedome heir ,Helen Mackil , but Helen was infamous for not having any elemental power . So the Duke never guessed the killing beauty who helped him would be Helen the infamous villianess . Once all the evil beast were killed , the soldiers were exhausted. The water elemantalist were treating tens of injured knights . Duke Brakinson stood there holding his sword . His eyes was searching for the saviour who came for their help and showed miracles . The lady was nowhere to be found . The duke ordered Paul and the knights to search for the lady . She was nowhere to be found .... Helen was hiding in a tree top .She did not want to disclose her identity and secret of ability to use elemantal powers . The soldiers desperately searched for their saviour, but they couldn''t win against a hiding assassin queen . After searching for an hour , with no results they were disappointed. The duke shouted .... "Thankyouuu.. , I will find you , even if i have to search the depth of a dark abyss ....My lady ...Wait for me " Sitting on the tree top ,Helen smiled and muttered"Lets Play ... hide and seek ,My evil Duke " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After waiting for the soldiers to settle down and go back ,Helen slowly moved towards the tree where her horse was tied to . The horse stood still even though its ropes were untied. Helen patted the horse and whispered into its ear "Thankyou for believing in me and staying " . The horse neighed . Helen jumped onto its back and started her journey back to the manor same night. This was the third day of Helen''s journey. It had been two days since she slept . Helen decided to move away from the camp site and sleep somewhere the duke couldn''t find her . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the fight was over and the search for Helen was stopped . Duke and Paul went back to the tent . Paul was reporting about the casualties of knights Suddenly... Hearing a Horse neigh in distance ,the duke rushed out of his tent ....He knew it was not one of the team horses. As it was from the opposite side of where their horses were tied . (he had sharp hearing). Paul who was reporting to the duke about the casualties followed the Duke . Paul asked panicking "My lord what happened? is there more evil beast around?" The Duke did not answer , Brake tried to concentrate and tried to listen hoping for the horse''s neigh again . but Helen already had rode far with the help of her wind ability . Duke Brakinson missed his chance to catch his saviour.
