《White Sheet》 Chapter 1: New Beginnings I¡¯m an adventurer. What does that mean? It means that I do odd jobs for a living. What kind of jobs? Well that depends, sometimes I kill some Goblins that attacked a village, sometimes a caravan was attacked on some road and I¡¯m sent to investigate and sometimes I¡¯m hired as some nobles bodyguard, The Eternal Light knows I hate these types of jobs but what I can do? A man got to eat and to eat I need to work. And right now I really need the money especially because I have a wife and a kid to look after. Just fifteen years and he can keep up with me. The kid got talent. I can tell he will fallow in my footsteps. He will go to the adventure academy, learn what I couldn¡¯t teach him and will become a great adventurer. I bet ten light coins that he will even get to S class. Heh that definitely puts a smile to my face. Why I¡¯m telling you all of this? I¡¯m dying that¡¯s why. Lying beside a tree is a man with a smile to his face and right across him is a small figure all clad in white. -Why? Asks the man as he crash hard on the dirt with a sword in his left hand. *Cough*-You killed all of my team mates*Cough*FOR WHAT? A mouthful of blood escapes from the man each time he tries to speak yet the figure doesn¡¯t budge. *Huff**Huff*-The Eternal Light will come after*Cough*you¡¯ll die a dogs death.*Cough* The man glares at the figure full with rage as he tries to get up but failing due to the cuts that he has on his legs. -Over here! Shouts from the guards can be heard close to where both of them are. -Hah! Ya done for. Just as he was saying these words the man¡¯s head was suddenly blasted and everywhere was brain matter, everywhere except the white figure. Looking around to see if anyone was still alive and confirming that everything was in order the white figure searches for one more thing that needs to be done. -NO! STEP AWAY FROM ME! A fat noble full in jewellery and expensive clothes screams at the top of his lungs annoying even the withe clad individual who keeps coming closer and closer to the noble. -WAIT! WAIT! I have gold j-j-just say the p-p-price! One thousand! N-No! Six t-t-thousand! J-j-just DON¡¯T KILL ME! The White clad entity swings once with the right hand and the head of the noble blows away just like the man¡¯s head from before but this time the white that the creature wore had turned red from the fat noble¡¯s blood. -aaah AND I just cleaned the robes! A sweet melodic voice can be heard from the hood that is covering the head of the red figure. -I guess you don¡¯t need the Ring of Storage now? Right? As the red figure bends over the body of the dead noble an arrow flies past the exact place that the red individual stood. -STOP AND COME WITH US OR DIE!! Fifteen or so guards are covering the area and all the exits with a bow and arrow ready to strike. As the red figure swings the right hand just like the last time and all the guard drop dead with their head blasted. All but one. The guard at the last exit on the left of the dead noble lies a woman on the dirt pissed and scared out of her life. -PLEASE DON¡¯T KILL ME! Another shout from a human who is about to die just like the adventurer and his team mates, the fat noble and all the guards now dead on the ground beside her. -I WON¡¯T! LIGHT SAKE why is everyone shouting today? Anyway I needed a witness. Tell everybody that you saw Mlawahken today is that clear? The guard shivers at that name. She is Mlawahken? I¡¯m dead, so dead. There¡¯s no escape for me. As the guard pictures the many ways of dying at the hand of that monster passes out on the dirt beside the dead bodies of her comrades. -What? So weak. Passing out even though I said that I would spare her. Pathetic. As the person with the sweet melodic voice caries on with the plundering of a certain fat noble then disappearing into the night leaving no traces behind, no bodies and no blood. That night will be remembered as the night of Mlawahken who comes and goes leaving nothing behind, the night of the Red Queen. ~One month later~ This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. The Kurt Empire is at peace for five years now. Even this blood thirsty empire knows that it can¡¯t keep wars for too long especially ones that have been for twenty-three years. But even with the wars back then nothing changed among the common people. Everybody kept the peace. Farmers were still going to attend the farm with all the animals and the land, guards were still kipping the peace of the streets and merchants still had something to sell. Everybody in this empire acted like there was no war at all. It¡¯s not like they weren¡¯t affected by this war but more like they can¡¯t be bothered by it. That much the common people trusts the army of this empire. Even the emperor wasn¡¯t bothered by the war. He still lies in his throne giving orders to his servants, like in this moment. -How are the people today? Speaks the emperor in his age of fifty clearly unbothered by the age as not only his voice but his looks don¡¯t look at all the age it should be. Dressed in his expensive red clothes siting on the throne and emanating an aura that screams ready for battle, ready for assassination, ready for anything that can come in his path and nothing can keep him from going his way. -The people are enjoying the peace time and have even begun to give more money to the army. As of now we have enough gold to buy ores from the dwarves and we can start to make armour and weapons for the next wars. With the rate The Empire is going right now we would last for approximately thirty years. Give or take five or so years, depending on the mages division and their greed for gold. Says a mountain of a man clad in full red armour with a claymore right on his back. On the left side of his chest is a black and white symbol of a red dragon. In his mouth is a sword signifying his status in The Kurt Empire. The general, the right hand of this emperor. -Jefrry! My boy do you want another beating? It¡¯s not like I enjoyed the last one but if you need another one you just have to ask. A red robe figure starts to voice his opinion in the face of the general. The royal mage. The left hand of The Kurt Empire. Like the general a symbol of the empire resides on the left side of his chest but it has a difference, in the dragons mouth is a staff not a sword. This royal mage is famous due to his age and power, one swing of his staff can turn a village into ashes. If not for his age he would still be on the battlefield destroying countless Shield Spells and massacring the enemies of this empire. -Shut up old man. You don¡¯t have the advantage now with your age. One swing of my claymore and you¡¯ll perish. Angry shouts the general cursing in his mind due to the loss of the duel he had with the old man as he takes the claymore from his back. Surprisingly the claymores colour is black. Attracting the light to it like it devours it. -Want to test it? Warns the mage as he prepares a spell with his staff, a fire spell to be exact due to the fact that the tip of the staff had begun to glow yellow ready to strike Jefrry at any moment. -You both are children. A dulcet voice stops both of them at the same time. A women clad in full armour just like the general only it seems to be of a different material, more lightweight, and with the same symbol in the same place and exactly like the royal mage and the general there is a difference, in the dragons mouth is a dagger implying the role the women has. The Royal Assassin. Not many people know of this one, the only ones that do are in the throne room or dead six feet underground. -I¡¯m glad that both of you keep The Emperor out of boredom. Walking past the two of them and kneeling in the front of the emperor with the left leg. -I¡¯m back my liege. My mission is finished and I can confirm that The Red Queen was in the Holly Kingdom killing the nobles and all the prophets of the church. Now if we attack their territory will be ours. They won¡¯t know what hit them. Reports the assassin with a full smile on her face implying the enjoyment she had on killing and torturing the fanatics and the thought of doing it more. -Ah. Another successful mission Cleo. But tell me there should be someone left behind, no? How else would they still be keeping their kingdom of fanatics? Curiosity showing on the emperor¡¯s face. -Yes. Somehow the Holly Maiden was left behind untouched by that monster and as we speak she is ruling it now. I think this is a perfect opportunity to take the trash out of Etherya. The smile on the maiden¡¯s face widens showing the eagerness in her black eyes. -You are hurrying to death Cleo. Why do all young ones hurry these days? For all we know this can be a trap. The Red Queen is a volatile spell. I say we take another approach on this problem. The Holly Maiden is what twenty? Twenty two? The old man¡¯s voice can be heard from the left side of the throne worry and regret clearly showing in it like he has seen countless of death due to hurrying to fight. As they say you don¡¯t run into a fight without armour on or spells papers in his case. -What do you suggest old man? You should be very careful with your next words. The general on the right side of the throne warns the mage with his hand on the back of his claymore clearly showing his displeasure. -Not the emperor you muscle head! The first sun is a possible fix to our problem in the North-West. By an arranged marriage we could own the land of those fanatics and have a better transportation route to the dwarves fixing all our problems. -Yes indeed. By doing this we can also keep the resources from the battles with them. Not a bad idea not bad at all. We should make this at once. -Yes your Majesty! Both the mage and the general bow at the emperors decision showing their willingness to make the words of the emperor true. Only one servant is showing the displeasure of this. After all the massacre they had done on our territory they should be wiped. Eternal Light! Cursed be their life on this land. -Speaking of my son how is he, I heard he got stronger? -Yes he did. The young lad can now parry my attacks and even cast a spell at me. It¡¯s really interesting how he studies both spell craft and sword arts. I believe he will be the first battle mage that can fight with a sword and cast a spell at the same time. Not many can do that. -As the old man says he has grown past my expectation as well. -Your son shouldn¡¯t be a concern right now. The Princess is still sick. At the voice of Cleo the room becomes silent making even the general look down in sadness. -Would she be able to go to the academy? Askes the king clear worry in his voice -Maybe. But I still think it would be better to go with a Silent Voice from my division along with a mage and a guard from these two. -Agreed, also old man look for a cure for my daughter. It pains me to see her like that. -I shall do this at once. -If you can¡¯t find one look for the dragons. At these words from the emperor the three tense up. -Are you certain my liege? Askes Cleo terrified at the thought of these dragons. -Yes. They may have a price but if it is for my daughter there isn¡¯t a price that can¡¯t be paid. -Yes my liege. -Everybody can leave now. -YES. As all three of them leave the throne room the emperor looks down to his hands closing and opening them, he will make sure that his daughter will get healthier, his son will be a perfect emperor ready to take his role if necessary. And his empire will prosper, for his subjects he is known under one name and one name only, Klasim de Morte, The Kind Emperor. Chapter 2: The Fragile Diamond I¡¯m a maid from the House of Morte. My daily duties include washing the dishes, the clothes and taking care of the Princess. Although I say that I¡¯m a maid I¡¯m more specialized in assassination. As a Silent Voice it is unusual to take care of a child but that is my duty given by the Empress herself when she laid on the dirt with a poisoned arrow in her left shoulder giving birth to the Princess fourteen years ago. She was born in battle. Red was the first thing she saw since childhood. Because she didn¡¯t get the necessary care at that time she has a weak body. Even one pinch on her arm can make her skin fall down. I still remember the last words of the Empress as she holds the child in her arms tears streaming down on her face Take care of my daughter! Take care of Sesilia! Since her early years she was known as The Fragile Diamond, especially in the army. But enough thoughts I can¡¯t let the Princess see me like this she will get sad no doubt. In the palace there can be seen a maid passing in a narrow hallway with a cart full of food and sweets. The hallway is decorated with plenty of paintings depicting the battles that the Kurt Empire fought and won against all odds. The battle on the Everlasting River when the emperor himself decapitated the Demon Lord and made the entire demon continent submit to him. The battle with the fanatics from the west where the sister of the emperor won but have lost the right arm making her inapt to continue the fight. The battle with the long ears east from the empire where the empress died and had given birth to the Princess. So many battles yet the empire still stands proud of its accomplishments. Suddenly the maid stops and in her front there is a figure in red clothes with a symbol on the right side of his chest, a dragon in black and white with a book in his mouth clearly showing who he is and what status he has. The tactician, Zamir de Morte the first son of the Emperor. He is rather famous for keeping the fight with the elves when the Empress had fallen, trapping the elves in the very forest that kept them from advancing in their territory. He fought with one hand while holding his sister with the other killing countless elves and saving many lives. Even today the elves fear him and curses him in one name Zawasim, The Elf Eater. -Good morning young master, are you going to the library again? As the maid bows she can clearly see the red eyes that every family member from the Morte House has. -Good morning to you too. Yes, I heard that there is a new batch of books coming today. I wonder if I would find something interesting to read to pass my boredom. -While you search would you be so kind to bring me a book for the young miss? I¡¯m worried she might try cooking again out of boredom and we all know how that ended last time don¡¯t we? -Hahaha! Why, yes. I still can¡¯t believe she blow up the royal kitchen with basic ingredients. If I find an interesting book for her I will gladly give it to you. By the way how is she? -Thank you for your kindness. She is well. I believe she can go to the academy if nothing happens along the way. Through I did saw some blood filled clothes that she hides in her dress room. I think she hides them not to worry all of us. It¡¯s quite sad. -Yes it is. Well if nothing else I¡¯m on my way. Can you tell my sister to visit the library when she gets better? A change of pace might elevate her mood. -Yes I will young master. Have a good read. -Mh. As the young master grunts in acknowledgment and the maid bows before he leaves the two make haste to get where they need to be. The maid soon enough finds herself standing beside a door knocking gently on it to see if the person on the other side is awake or not. No response. I guess she still sleeps. Thinks the maid as she gently pushes the door and pulling the cart filled with food along the way. Redirecting her sight on the room she finds the young miss sitting on a chair with a book in her hand delicately pushing another page from the book. Her form shows clearly what years of battlefield does to your body, voluptuous enough to make even a proud dragon jealous and a white skin that almost looks unhealthy. Her face screams of innocence while her eyes clearly show what she would do to you if you even touch a single string of hair on her body, as two clear crystals of red are reading the book as if it would go away by blinking even once. The maid doesn¡¯t bother to talk as this situation happened before. No matter what she would do to her the young miss is absorbed in that book and she won¡¯t let it out of her hand, not even by force. As the maid is moving towards the table right beside the young miss she takes a peek at the dress room to see if there are any blood clothes from her. Through the cracks of the dresses door there can be seen different shades of red clothes but not filled with blood and no metallic smell is coming from it. Good! At this rate she will get healthier. Just as these thought are flowing inside the maids head the young miss quickly puts a hand to her mouth and coughs blood covering the book that she was holding in her hands. Or not.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. -Ugh Lights Sake! I was just reading the book. The maid rushes to the young miss with a white cloth in her hand to clean the blood from her face. -Are you alright young miss? Askes the maid worried that she may need a basin filled with water and a towel for the young miss. -I¡¯m fine Marry. Just the usual in the morning. I may bother you with another book now that this is¡­ in this state. -Nonsense my lady. I¡¯m more than happy to look for another book. But I believe the emperor has agreed to send you to the academy. -WHAT?? Father agreed? Yes FINALY. This boredom will end. The young miss happily jumps out of the chair and as fast as she got up almost fallen if not for the fast reflexes of Marry, holding the young miss and carefully placing her on the chair. -Now, now my lady you need to eat first to talk with the emperor. -Ugh. My head. -Now, what would you like to eat? ~Two hours later~ As the young miss and the maid, Marry, make their way to the throne room to see the emperor a familiar face in red clothes meets them in the hallway. Although the right arm is gone and the spear that the woman used in the war against the Holly Kingdom is missing there is no doubt with the emblem of the empire on the right part of the chest that shows the dragon with a spear in his mouth. This women used a single division to fight back the fanatics from the west and won. Barely any damage was done to the division and only some scars that clearly show how hard they fought against them. She is famous for leading them straight to battle with no plan, no backups and no healers earning her a name that resonates in the songs of the empire even today. Jevelin de Morte, The Spear Berserker. -Auntie!! The young miss runs to the woman with her arms open, ready for a hug. -Careful dear you still remember what happened last time right? The voice stops the young miss in her tracks and gently although hurriedly hugs the woman like they would be together for the last time. -It¡¯s so good to see you. How have you been? I hope the uncultivated idiots at the academy don¡¯t give you too much trouble. -All¡¯s good, all¡¯s good. You? How are you holding on? -Better than ever, I could even start swinging a sword and train my body to fight. Jevelin stops the hug and looks straight at the young miss face that has a wide smile on it, then she changes her sight to the maid, Marry and before she could even ask the maid shakes her head and a clear no can be read from that. -Young miss do you want another lecture from the old man? It seems you are quite eager to hear his tales from the old times no? As Marry says these words the young miss face falls apart from the wide smile and a face full of disgust starts showing on her face -Ugh! On another not it seems I¡¯m not healthy enough to start. Maybe in another year or two. -Pfff. Hahaha. You never change do you? I still remember the time when you tried to swing a dagger and the hand¡¯s skin just flew off along with the dagger. The face you had at that time was hilarious. Hahaha. -Auntie please don¡¯t tease me! -Alright, alright I won¡¯t. Let¡¯s go, your father is waiting. Continuing their walk to the throne room the three begun to talk about the past and teasing the young miss making her tell some embarrassing memories of the two as well. Laughter can be heard in the hallway making even the guards in the front of the throne room¡¯s door smile from seeing this heart worming scene. -Is the emperor here? Asks Jevelin. -Yes my lady. He has been expecting you, -Good, we shouldn¡¯t keep him waiting, let¡¯s go. As the door of the throne room opens and the three maidens walk there can be seen already six figures. Three beside the throne where the emperor lies with his red clothes and with the symbol of the empire on the right part of his chest with the dragon holding in his mouth a crown and the two figures who are the left hand and the right of the emperor, The General and The Royal Mage. Beside them on the left, lined on their knees with the left leg are some unknown women dressed in full plate armour, a robe and a more lightweight armour all in the respective colour of the empire, red. As the door closes and the three of them make their way in the middle of the room the general pulls out a chair from his inventory and places it right beside the throne of the emperor. -Is that you sister that I see? No wonder the maids have started to sing your song. With you here I wonder if the guards could find someone to love. You seem to attract their attention everywhere you go. -Oh shut it you idiot brother. It happened one time and now you pour salt on it. Just because a girl confessed to me once that doesn¡¯t make every girl want me. -Oh but I disagree. You see the song is more for the maidens in love with another. I bet ten light coins you get more confessions from the girls in the academy. Too bad that you are straight right? -Brother must I remind you how many times I have won against you in a duel? If I remember correctly the score was what, twenty for me, nineteen for you? -Want to make the score equal? The brother and sister glares at each other with their red eyes waiting for someone to make a move when the young miss walks to the chair that is placed beside the throne and sits in it making everyone in the room look at her and how she expresses on her face how annoyed she is. -Daughter are you alright? The emperor speaks his concern about this. Knowing his daughter, no matter what she would do to her she won¡¯t budge a single eyelid to him when she is like this. -This daughter haven¡¯t seen her father in a month time of sickness and the first thing the father does plainly ignores her. How do you think this daughter feels? -Ugh. I apologize but there was not enough time with managing the empire. I would be there next time. -If you are an emperor and have enough time for the empire but not for your daughter what would the common people say? The Kind Emperor, hmm? -Okay Sesilia don¡¯t be silly, we are here to discuss your stay at the academy not the ignorance of this idiot brother. By the way who are these people? You trust them enough with the casual tone you had when you argued with me. I think they are the bodyguards for her no? -As perceptive as always. Yes they are. They will go with Sesi to the academy and they will make sure that no harm shall come to her during that time, isn¡¯t that right? With the words of the emperor the three tense up and at the same time answer. -Yes your Majesty! -Good, now with that out of the way let¡¯s begin this meeting. Chapter 3: Making a deal The capital of the empire is situated in the south-west region close to The Dragons Mountain. The streets in the capital are flowering with people ready to celebrate the month of The Phoenix when the nature is reborn and the people are the busies this month, especially the farmers. On one of the streets there can be seen a red carriage that is pulled by four war horses. Everybody makes way for the carriage because of the sign on both doors. The sign of the empire with the white and black dragon carrying in his mouth a diamond, signifying who is in that carriage and what status they have in the empire. The Princess, the daughter of the emperor, Sesilia de Morte. -Are we there yet? Inside the carriage the young miss askes annoyed at how much time it takes to move with the carriage in the capital. -There are people on the streets my lady, we could hurry if you want to hit them but I doubt you would want that. The maid, Marry, sitting beside the young miss carefully assured her to not get her more annoyed otherwise the head of the driver will most likely fall. -How are you holding my lady? -Barley within parameters. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I¡¯m riding a carriage with both enemies of the empire I would have gladly enjoyed this ride. If someone would have told me yesterday that I¡¯m goanna ride along with both, a fanatic and a long ear I would have called him crazy, but look what is in front of me and what situation I¡¯m in. As the young miss carries on with these words two more persons that are in the carriage are tensing up unsure if they can say anything to her. The two persons are non-other than the persons who were two days ago in the throne room the guard and the mage, both respectively a member from the Holy Kingdom and an elf from the Elf Kingdom. How did enemies from the empire got in the empire, it¡¯s simple, they were refugees. After the war five years ago some captives choose to stay in the empire and were accepted with two conditions, to convert to the religion of the empire, The Eternal Light, and to wear a Soul Binder item. Soul Binder items are helping the empire with the current location of the wearer, what spells they used during that time, how much mana they have consumed and if they need a direct teleportation into a cell. The empire made sure that nothing can take them by surprise when it comes to these refugees, and two such as them are right in front of the princess. The elf looks as if is wanting to speak but she doesn¡¯t know how to ask for permission, Most likely If I speak I will die so I better don¡¯t do it, as these thought pass the elves mind the young miss noticed it and with the hand pointing at the elf she begins to talk. -You can speak freely long ears. No matter what you say you can¡¯t make my day any worse than it already is. -Thank you my lady. I¡¯m sure the emperor didn¡¯t want to put you in a situation as this. Making peace with the other kingdoms is rather easy in my opinion but keeping that peace is what makes a ruler great. -We are at peace with the dwarfs for thirty years now. Do you really think that we can¡¯t keep the peace? I¡¯m sorry dose our thirsty nature for war make you uncomfortable? But I wonder who made us like this? If it weren¡¯t for the elves breaking the White Concordat followed by the fanatics we would have been better and the war back then could have been finished earlier. But I digress, your point been elf? As the mage grinds her teeth in anger she takes a minute to calm down and answer the young miss question. -My point is that we shouldn¡¯t make thing hard for both of us. We are going to be your guards even if you don¡¯t want it but that doesn¡¯t mean we have to hate each other. How about a deal? We won¡¯t bother you at all, we are going to be just like the wind and we will keep doing our jobs without the two of us ending up dead. Do we have a deal? -So what are you saying is that you won¡¯t bother me and I won¡¯t bother you? What a perfect deal. At least there are some great news today. You have a deal long ears but don¡¯t expect me to shake your hand. -I understand young miss. Would you like something to add Jennifer? The young miss looks in the direction of the full plated woman. Not even her eyes can be seen from the red helmet that she is wearing making the young miss think that she has her eyes closed. As the woman in question shakes her head saying no. -Great now that¡¯s out of the way we should find an inn to stay before nightfall. Just as Merry says these words the carriage stops unexpectedly making the young miss flew out of her seat directly into Jennifer but before she could even hit her Jennifer stops her with her arms by pressing them in her shoulders.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. Opening her eyes, the young miss expected to hit her face right in the armour of the fanatic but she looks around and finds that the woman stopped her before the hit. Upon looking up to see the face of the woman she run into, a pair of clear blue eyes that shines brightly from the eye holes in the head armour. Getting up from the hands she had on her shoulders she quickly opens the door of the carriage and exits to see how grave the situation is. -Young miss are you alright? Marry was not affected as the force was not enough to make her fly out of her seat but it was enough to make the young miss. Opening the other door she quickly goes to the young miss to see her. As she approaches she can clearly see that her shoulders are more tense than usual, most likely some of the skin of her shoulder got opened from the impact with the guards hands. Assuring that nothing is wrong with her she sets her sight to the group that is in front of them. A group of ten people are hitting what it seems to be a young elf. The young elf is on the ground with his hands covering his head protecting it from the foot the people are hitting him with. -Do you want to steal now? -Heh trash are trash no matter what kind of elf is. -H-h-hey l-l-look! As one of the man says that they all look at the carriage to see the person who owns it but the moment they do all of them drop to their knees with the face in the ground. It seems that their luck had run up dry this day. -All Hail the Princess! As the people quiet down around them and started to come to see what is going on, the young miss approaches the group of ten and looks around them for a leader. Not founding what she wants she asked. -Can someone explain to me what are you doing in the middle of the street? Terrified out of their wits they don¡¯t dare to speak otherwise they will most likely end up at the execution chamber or worse. Marry comes beside the miss, takes one man from the position he was in with the right hand around his neck forcing him to look at her, then with the hidden knife plugs it in his right eye making him scream in agony from it. -If anybody wants to have his right eye gouged out stay silent, otherwise talk! With these words from Marry everybody around them started to move out before they become victims at the hands of the princess. Because of her empire symbol and her infamy for being ruthless people around them started to run from this scene leaving the area empty. Even the merchants at the stalls filled with fruits, vegetables and fried food had run for their lives living the store like that. The bodyguard and the mage come right after them when they left the carriage witnessing all that happened in that short amount of time. -Still not talking? Good. What should we do with them princess? -Do you have a sword Marry? -Unfortunately no princess but the bodyguard has one. -I see. Shifting her head to see the bodyguard she makes a sign with her hand as in to come here and with no second of hesitation the bodyguard in full plate armour hurriedly comes and knees in front of her with the left leg taking the sword out from the sheath and presenting it to the princess with both of her hands. The princess takes it and with no hesitation plunges the sword in one of the ten men who are kneeling, killing him. -Next. With these words she goes to the other one and with the same ruthlessness kills him by plunging the sword right in the back of his neck. -NEXT! -WAIT! Someone among the group of men got up and with a sword in his left hand pointing it at the princess. -I WILL NOT STAND BY WHILLE YOU KILL MY FRIENDS! -Then why did you not answer my question earlier? You could have explained to me the situation yet you choose to stay silent. These deaths aren¡¯t on me, they are on you because of that. Now can you explain to me what is going on? Actually you know what? I¡¯m tired already so I will just say what I think. If my hearing is right the elf kid had stolen something from you, is that right? And if it is then why are not alerting the guards? Oh I see. Looking at your face now I can tell he didn¡¯t steal anything but it was a set up. So who wants this kid dead? The man upon hearing these words looked in the other direction and started to run in the opposite one thinking it can make the monster he is facing confused but before he could make two steps he froze, literally as his legs are frozen solid due to the mage beside the princess. -You are not only a coward but also a deserter. Marry call for the guards let them take care of this stupid show and also tell them to make sure that the kid is moving on another part of the capital. With these words Marry set into action, runs to the closes guard post. -Bodyguard thank you for the sword and also thank you for the save in the carriage. The bodyguard nods and returns the sword in the sheath but before she dose it she looks at the sword with wonder, strangely there is no blood on it. Ignoring it due to the fact that the war princess wielded it, She must have some technique for this. -Oy long ears can you froze the other ones? -Yes I can my lady. I have a name through. I request it to be used. -You never said it. -Ellis Jolene. Ellis if it fits your taste my lady. -And the fanatic? I guess she can talk due to her eyes. The full plated woman looks straight at the young miss as if she heard that her parents have died. How does she know that my eyes are the reason I can¡¯t speak? The emperor doesn¡¯t know and thought that I was born mute but her? -Ellis ask her how does she know about this. -Why? Is it important to you? -Yes! Just do it please! -Okay. Okay. -If my lady doesn¡¯t mind me asking, but how do you know of this?
