Chapter 100: The Unexpected

Well, instead Ava's rescue ends up free. From there he knew that Ellijah was most likely involved in most of Eve's experiments.

So the chance that Duke Frost knew how Eve would presumptuously kidnap someone from another dimension opens up. However, this contradicts Ellijah's attitude, which imposes Eve's identity from the first time she meets Ava. Does that mean Ellijah has not understood in detail, if the person who will be kidnapped is practically carbon copy of the princess?

Agh, even deep thought Ava would not be able to answer it herself. The only way is to ask Ellijah directly.

And of course, this action comes with risks. Seeing how crazy Duke Frost was towards Eve, Ava would not have imagined how the man would react if the fact that there were other people who dared to pretend to be her fiancee. Although he himself misunderstood, although practically Ellijah was the first to meet him with the role even though Ava has explained many times. A mad man who is angry will not hear his logic.

So Ava was afraid of the status window she saw from the man.

Name: Ellijah Tristan Frost

Race: Human (devil contractor)

Level 240

Coin: 87281628499796

Power :55

Speed: 43

Duration :41

Day :101

Well, Ellijah's level is even higher than what she saw a few weeks ago, heading all her status points into the 40s. Do not forget also the additional explanation in the race column. Devil's contractor. The effect is already terrible. Does it have anything to do with the history of the seven demons that ravaged the world hundreds of years ago? Which stories become the lullabies of children so that they are frightened and prevent delinquency?

Whatever it is, Ava must prepare as a form of self-defense if only the yandere man is suddenly unstable, rampaging, and attacking him.

Ava chewed the last piece of lemon cake, already very intending mamangkas short duration of the date he planned. He thought with the same face as Alex, playing with Ellijah would be just as exciting, but they just kept arguing. But something unexpected happened.

An explosion.

Duars!

Ava automatically turned her head, fire and smoke billowing not far from the dessert shop they stopped by. Many people are fixated, still not processing what happened.

It was then that the second explosion occurred, this time closer, even to the point of shaking the stepped floor, waking those who were tensely frozen.

Mass panic.

The situation instantly became chaotic. Hundreds of people enjoying the festival were scattered in the street, shouting.

Ellijah immediately grabbed the girl in front of her, carrying Ava. They quickly passed through the visitors who were running in no direction, just like a collection of ants that were hit by water droplets.

However, just as the two were exiting the dessert shop, a third explosion occurred, right behind them.

Ellijah's body bounced, the man used his body to protect the woman in his arms so as not to be exposed to the explosion.

“Agh!” Ava curses. His ears were ringing and his gaze was blurry, even after his vision was clear, all he could see was a sky filled with black smoke and dust. A few seconds passed, then he realized the groaning that was very close to his ears. Ellijah collapsed on it.

The girl took out the instant healing potion she bought for an emergency, spilling the green liquid inside into the chipped and grilled skin, but one bottle was still not enough. Ava stroked the hair leaning against her lap, calming the man in pain.

Where are the secret guards who always follow them?!

Fortunately, the person who was thought of immediately appeared. Three figures whose entire body was covered with dark cloth knelt in front of him. “Sorry for our negligence, Mr. Princess.”

“Just bring him to doctor—“

Duars!

But the explosion is still not finished.

“Quick!”

“No,” Ellijah who is still unconscious refuses. In his hand was a chocolate pill that he immediately swallowed without chewing. After that, the man's stout body returned firmly. “I'm fine.” Huh huh?

Ava activated her observation skill.

Abnormality: Burning (HP is reduced by 3 points per second) (while in the process of returning HP by 20 points per second)

He knew that the instant healing potion he brought was only useful for infiltrating wounds, not restoring lost HP. So he meant the HP return from the pills he ate?

Ah, nevermind. Not time.

Duars!

The fifth explosion caused a small earthquake.

"We're splitting. You, inform this incident to the palace!" The one in command nodded, then disappeared. "Both of you, work with the guards to appease the population." Does the task match up with assassins like them? Let it. "And, you, come with me." Ava clasped Ellijah's hand, leading them closer to the destroyed dessert shop.

"Don't get too close, hot."

"Use your skills."

Attributes of the famous Frost family descendant, ice. Without much to say, Ellijah said. "[Chill Air]." From his mouth, it blew a frozen gust that quickly spread into the air. The crystals were then melted due to the still burning fire, causing rain on the burning building, eventually extinguishing the red man.

Skill: Chill Air (XI) (3 minutes 45 seconds)

Ability with classes that exceed single digits is generally considered strong, the effect that spreads can again be used with a cooldown that is much shorter than low-class skills.

Ava doesn't know if there's a fire unit here, so she uses Ellijah as a temporary alternative. Security has been sent directly into the rubble of the building to look for other victims, alive or dead.

The fake princess and Duke Frost also moved to the other four locations. Fortunately, the maximum number of explosions there were only five, but to be safer Ava told security forces to check other places, there might be other explosives installed so that there were no after-fire bombs.

For the size of a country that prides itself on their technological advances, the caretakers' alertness is tolerable as well. Although unfortunately they did not manage to prevent this disaster from happening, the reaction response was quick. So it only took an hour for Ava, Ellijah, and the security involved to calm the population and deal with the fire. The remaining tasks are to treat the injured, provide shelter for the homes affected by the explosion, estimate the impact of the loss, and.

Her long days as a royal princess ended here.

The real task begins.
