Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
A Tightly Relationship
Lilianne had a little trouble dealing with the assassins. It doesn't mean he's weaker than them. Instead, the strength of the Assassins was below Lilianne's. They even assumed that Lilianne was the Goddess of death who was singing a rhythm full of blood.
But the Assassins were aware that Lilianne's position was unlucky. He had to fight while protecting the chaotic masses. Fortunately Margaret came and she managed to evacuate most of the audience and take him out of the hall.
In this way, he did not need to hold back anymore. He began to cast his spell.
"Crimson Fire: The Butterfly Flame."
A magic circle appeared from in front of Lilianne and dozens of red-colored butterflies came out from that circle. Assassins thought they could avoid it by attacking butterflies flying towards them.
But their calculations are wrong. As soon as their weapons touched the butterfly, the beauty exploded and burned the Assassins to ashes. Fifteen assassins have been killed. But it's not finished yet. Behind him the assassins are trying to cast their magic. But Lilianne took out a fireball and burned them all.
The arena is clean of assassins. He wants to see Issac but soon realizes that he may be chasing assassins who are after the prince. It would be best if he met Margaret and the others first, then went with them to the escape route that had been prepared in case something like this happened.
Meanwhile, Issac continued to run and tried to catch up with the prince. There were quite a number of assassins chasing after prince Chris. About 50 people.30 of them are now dealing with Issac. They tightly held the weapons they were carrying. As an experienced assassin, they knew very well that the person standing firmly in front of them was a very strong person.
"Return out of here! We have absolutely no business with you! We will not hesitate to kill you even if you are the ambassador of the kingdom!!"
One of them tried to pose a threat to Issac even though he knew it would be useless. It was simply the killer's way of stalling while his other comrades were coursing magic energy throughout their bodies. All of them tried to finish off Issac in one final attack. Even though it would get them killed as well.
"Retreat? I should have told you that. After all, with such little magic power, you guys won't be able to defeat me."
They all gritted their teeth. This person had already known their intentions from the very beginning! But he remained relaxed as if nothing would happen to him!
"In that case, I'll give you a chance. Gather all your magic energy to the brim! Focus your eyes! Hold tight your weapons!"
I don't know why all those murderers followed what Issac said. And sure enough, their strength was getting bigger and their power was getting stronger. The view is getting better.
"Looky! Now, I'll give you some advice before you attack someone stronger than you. Take a deep breath. Don't take your eyes off of anything else. After that, move on together!"
With a shout of spirit, they instantly attacked Issac simultaneously. But the attack never reached Issac because he had stood behind them.
"Then.matize."
Before they knew it, their heads had all flown and fallen to the earth. Shower gushed from the necks of those who no longer had heads. The 30 people were slaughtered. Without a single slash from Issac.
Depressing. You have tried so hard to kill me with everything you have. So next time, don't try to touch me. Issac slightly paid them homage by reattaching their heads and leaving immediately. Apparently, Prince Chris and his guards are clashing with the killers.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Although not a soldier, it does not mean that Prince Chris is weak. Using a rapier as his main weapon, he and his ten bodyguards were pitted against the assassins.
His magic is ice. He fused his sword technique and his skill magic so that it became an extremely beautiful technique. An assassin was trying to target his head from behind while he was slashing at another assassin. But the assassin's attempt failed because before his weapon reached the prince's body, a magic circle appeared and an extremely sharp ice crystal had pierced through the Assassin's neck.
With his abilities, he and his bodyguards managed to kill all the Assassins. Prince Chris and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They all immediately ran towards a passageway that at the end was a door. That was the end point of their escape. One of the guards had reached the end. Prince Chris has also reached it. But somehow the bodyguard didn't open the door at all.
Ah, Danger! Prince Chris finally knew what was happening. The assassins were just a diversion! From the beginning, their goal was not to kill him. The ones who were assigned to kill him were the ones who were very close to him!
"Sorry prince. For the sake of the glory and might of the Grand Aria Empire, you must die."
The bodyguard eventually thrust the dagger into Prince Chris's back and the heir to the throne died. Or it should be when finally the dagger he was holding had fallen to the ground, along with his hand.
"No. Who will die here, is all of you."
"JINJAY..."
The bodyguard had not finished talking when half of his head was gone. The other bodyguards who saw this furiously immediately charged at Issac but the kick that Issac gave him left his head crushed like an apple being run over by a truck.
The bodyguard closest to Issac aimed his head from above but Issac's katana holster first reached the bodyguard's neck. Brak! The guy's neck is broken.
The remaining bodyguards immediately stormed Issac and Prince Chris. But Issac did not move and only flicked his hand once. And their bodies were all split into three parts.
Prince Chris was shocked by what had just happened. He killed them all as if killing a mosquito! She's so strong? It might even be stronger compared to the strongest person in the empire.
"Ah, forgive me prince for giving such an unworthy spectacle, your highness prince. I'm Viscount Issac Starfall. An ambassador sent from the kingdom to strengthen the friendly relations of the two countries."
Issac immediately knelt down in front of the prince when he finished taking care of their corpses. The prince became a bit awkward from being treated like this. He immediately asked Issac to stand up.
"Thank your head, Starfall. It doesn't need to be like that. And also not to be too polite. You can call me Chris if you want."
"Then that's what Chris started, I'd be very honored if you called me by first name."
Prince Chris nodded. Issac immediately withdrew his hand to go with him. Chris' face flushed slightly but Issac did not notice that. He opened the door and outside, he was already awaited by the four girls.
"Sister Is! Thank goodness you're okay!"
Lilianne immediately embraced Issac. Margaret approached Issac to see if he was hurt. Angelica and Agatha approached the prince and talked to him. It was natural considering these two girls were from the imperial noble family.
"Mr Issac, thank you for saving my life. If you are pleased, I would like to invite you to the palace as a form of my thanks. Not to explain what happened to his highness the emperor, but this is a personal invitation from me."
Issac nodded. He doesn't mind. Building a relationship with the heir to the throne from another country is not a bad thing. Issac asks Angelica and Agatha to escort the prince back to the palace in his chariot. Issac, Margaret, and Lilianne will clean up this mess first.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Prince Chris arrived at the palace and that very day, he immediately conveyed what happened to him while at the academy. Of course the emperor was furious and dropped off the investigation team about what happened. The emperor decided to execute the entire army of guards belonging to prince Chris.
Duke Manstein and his allies bestowed this blame on all of Viscount Rudolph's former subordinates. They eventually ended up on the gallows while Duke Manstein and the others were able to sleep soundly.
Did the emperor know that they were the mastermind behind all this? Of course it is. But he had no evidence that could strengthen his conjecture and he did not have the strength to go against them. It is very unfortunate indeed.
Three days later Issac was invited by Prince Chris to the palace. And as promised, it was just a personal invitation from Chris. They spend a lot of time talking. Chris asked Issac about the Empire in his view. Issac answered honestly what he was thinking.
Prince Chris felt that he was getting a valuable companion to chat with. He got a lot of good ideas from Issac. The relationship between Issac and Prince Chris is getting closer.
