Stuck In The Middle Ages
22| Started

Today was the day where many noble girls including Natasha were most eagerly awaited. Many are already on site and have read the rules for the race.

Austin looked unhappy to see his participants quite a lot. His eyes had been looking for Natasha in the line of participants. Currently the emperor is giving directions on what is permissible and not during the race.

      "You can only catch at least five surviving forest rabbits and bring vines with their distinctive color of purple. For the first participant to successfully bring him right here, then he's the winner."

Some of the participants started gossiping, they also did not see the presence of a Natasha.

     "I'm sure that Natasha won't come. She is a queen and her sister has not been able to take her place!"

     "You're right. Our chances of winning are definitely huge!"

They looked arrogant, not knowing Natasha had been wearing the clothes she made at night until people did not recognize her. Even when he came out of the room wearing his clothes, Lucas almost attacked Natasha if she did not immediately remove her mask.

Loma began, they were asked to enter the forest. According to the soldier who checked the forest, it was safe.

Natasha entered by riding the wind magic. Some noble girls are carrying arrows, swords are also daggers just in case. Even though it is safe, there is no danger.

Just entering the forest, Natasha already had a bad premonition. His eyes stared intently at the area around him standing up and began to look back for the forest rabbit.

According to the information, the forest rabbit is very agile. Even trained soldiers had difficulty catching them, besides their increasingly rare population made the girls difficult to find.

Some grumbled because his feet were scratched by wood, some complained of being tired because they never walked far. Not a few people even say they want to give up.

Natasha peeked out from behind the trees. He saw a brown forest rabbit eating grass. Then he began to prepare arrows and directed to the rabbit.

While aiming, Natasha saw a girl who was about to catch him with her bare hands. Natasha had to stop her shot and chose to pay attention to her competitor. But something terrible just happened. The girl was suddenly attacked by dozens of fireballs, causing Natasha to spontaneously cast defensive magic and protect the girl.

The fireball continued to hit the defense magic making the girl could only hide behind Natasha's body.

     "Go away from here and if you can go back to the starting place. Tell the emperor, this race seems to be failing. We have the enemy!"

The girl looked into Natasha's eyes, then nodded. Soon the two of them moved backwards until the woman could dodge and run. After feeling far enough away, Natasha also climbed wind magic and took refuge behind the trees.

He could feel such a huge energy. Some trees had burned to the point of smoke making Austin stunned to see it.

     "Dad, look!" Austin directed his father to look towards the puff of smoke coming out from the middle of the forest.

At first the emperor thought that one of the participants might accidentally cast fire magic to burn some trees.

     "Dad, it looks like something's wrong!"

Again, Austin shows the flock of birds flying away from the forest. It is also seen that the animals that occupy the forest run out with their distinctive sounds.

The emperor began to panic and suddenly a group of people wearing black robes surrounded them. Austin could sense that something bad was going to happen.

On the other hand, it looks Natasha who turns out her position is discovered so she must be smart to avoid the fireball that always targets her.

     "If I keep dodging, I can take that person to another participant."

Natasha finally chose to let out her black flames and retaliated against the attack earlier. The man who was chasing him stopped. The two now keep each other's positions.

      "Why do you want to attack the participants?" natasha asked before someone finally let go of her hood and showed her face.

How shocked Natasha was to know who was about to hurt the participant earlier.

     "Hellen?"

Suddenly there was a shrill laughing voice capable of making Natasha goosebumps.

     "What do you want?" natasha shouted interspersed with a sense of alertness.

     "Hellen obviously did not have this much energy. What's he been doing all this time?" Natasha nodded while guessing.

      "For a long time no see, Natasha!"

Natasha was surprised to hear a voice coming out of Hellen's mouth. Almost similar to the voice of an adult man was also a little hoarse.

      "Are you waiting for my arrival to reclaim what's already mine, hm?"

Natasha frowned, surely what she meant was Austin. Then he started smiling and putting his body together.

     "It's also great that you know that this is me!"

Natasha took off her mask until she saw her beautiful face.

      "Hahaha, what's not great about me? Now I'm much stronger thanks to her help!"

Natasha understood what Hellen meant, she just nodded.

     "So you intend to take Austin back?" ask Natasha who is actually preparing mentally. He just didn't expect that Hellen had really done everything so far just to get Austin back.

     "From the beginning, she was mine!"

     "Hmm, maybe he's obsessed!" muttered Natasha.

     "From the beginning you were only targeting the position of empress only. Before Austin was what it is now, you were the most eager to insult him. Did your head hit you to forget all your disgusting deeds?" Natasja spoke very loudly and was able to provoke Hellen's emotions.

Hellen's patience was like a strand of hair.

     "You want to take Austin? This fight will determine who is the most worthy!" Natasha smiled obliquely and then put her mask back on.

Hellen looks angry, collecting fireballs to become big, while Natasha tries to keep her distance to avoid the fireball. He then pulled out an arrow and started aiming towards Hellen, then turned it towards the fireball.

Lightning sparks began to flow from the right hand to the end of the arrow.

Natasha began to release her arrows until they shot away towards the fireball. Lightning lamtas began to spread and nenyetrum Hellen's body which was still connected to his fireball.

He shouted so loudly that it left Austin and the emperor shocked.

"Who are you and what do you want?" ask one of the soldiers.

The soldiers were seen surrounding the emperor and Austin, intent on protecting the two. Suddenly a hooded man came forward. Then the hood came off and began to look at the emperor.

"It's an honor for me to meet the emperor in person. Ah, hail prince Austin!"

The emperor frowned, the face of the man in front of him was very familiar.

"I'm sure you're guessing my face is similar to who. What if we recalled the events that took my family's life?"

Instantly the emperor was connected to the man's intent. About the death of Dixon's family. Rumors about his surviving son are true.

"After years of disappearing, you've only just shown yourself."

He laughed so hard.

"I remember the faces of Natasha's parents who looked at me hatefully, hoping that her son could avenge them. Ah, are we just going to end up hating each other?"

Hearing that Austin had already clenched both of his hands, but the emperor asked him to calm down.

"I should have killed the girl, but it looks like Hellen wants to play around for a while with her."

As Austin was about to attack, suddenly something floated at high speed towards the man. Luckily he quickly dodged if it was not clear his right hand was broken.

It was seen a girl standing looking at the man with anger, but still able to be held back. He then took off his mask and also the bow that ran out of arrows.

"Wild bellies are Hellen's too, only I can exceed his strength!" natasha said with a smile towards the man in front of her.

Soon Austin ran over to Natasha. He was very worried about the girl.

"You okay?"

Natasha smiled and looked at Austin's black bead.

"Do you think he could hurt me?"

Natasha sounded so arrogant, but that was the truth. Even if Hellen had greater energy than her, it would certainly not be able to defeat the power of the modern girl.

"It turns out they used Hellen's body to enter their pet monster. Even so, Hellen's memories still vividly remembered. It was fortunate that he could only master fire magic!"

"Okay, enough to cut it off!"

Now Natasha and Austin started staring at the man.

"Let me introduce myself, just be more polite. Call me Zack, leader of the Avigator organization."

"Okay Zack's. I know your purpose here is to kill me and my sister, right? I also know you're protecting your place using barrier magic."

"really so. Indeed, the descendants of Beverly are beyond doubt, but how will you protect your own kingdom while you are far away?"

Zack looked at Natasha and started grinning. The sneering made Austin and the emperor wary.

"You underestimate my nobles? Hey, Lucas certainly isn't as weak as you might think, Mr. Zack. So since you're in front of me, I don't need to look for you anymore. You know, after hearing the story of my grandfather who lost his sister to your eldest brother, the instinct of wanting to kill got bigger."

The atmosphere was completely tense, while the existing participants had been secured by some soldiers and moved away from the area.

"You're after me to avenge your family's death, while I want you to avenge my grandfather's brother's death."

"Well, no need to waste any more time!"

Suddenly, Zack and his men attacked and began to keep their distance and protect themselves.

Meanwhile in the kingdom, it looks Lucas who turns out to be more deft than people think. After getting word from Azalea about the Natasha attack, he immediately ordered his soldiers to evacuate the villagers. Until when Zack's subordinates came to destroy the residents, they only found the village empty like uninhabited.

And Azalea confronted them all. His sword had been coated with black flames as well as his sharpened eyes.

"Who are you looking for, gentlemen?"

The Azaleas used the zigzag running technique to slash their heads so as not to mention any living ones.

"I haven't done this in a long time. Queen, may you avenge your parents. The rest let me and Prince Lucas take care of it!"

Lucas himself had finished off Zack's subordinates until the royal courtyard was filled with black-robed corpses.

"I have to thank Natasha for giving me those tips."

Lucas smiles happily knowing he is able to master the same magic as Natasha in no time. It was thanks to tips from Natasha that made him diligent to practice his magic.

"Well, this way the resentment from my parents' death began to diminish!"

Seriate....
