The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S3) Chapter 137 [The Fiancee's Wrath]
Empress Kaleena placed the cold wine glass she had just taken onto Ashlan's cheek.
"That name still traumatizes you, yeah. I know you still have a grudge against yourself."
"But please, don't let you throw away that name Ashlan. 'Vashlana Magiya' is the name I gave you. Unlike the name 'Kitsuna Mio' that Master gave you. At least after 1 millennium has passed, only that name is still proof that you are a disciple of Master."
Ashlan actually wanted to get angry the moment she heard that name again. But she could not dispute Empress Kaleena's words.
"......"
The Empress let out a rather long breath.
"You know for yourself that I envy you so much because I am the only Master's student not named by him. So don't throw it away that easily."
"..... I know, I know that."
Ashlan clenched her hands tightly.
"But do you think I still deserve that name after everything I've done!?"
As the longer Ashlan could get out of control, the Empress had already prepared the area magic that made the area soundproof, so there was no need to worry about their private conversations being heard.
"I'm not in a position to judge that. But I'm sure, the Master and the others won't consider it your fault. Do not bear the sin alone, you also know, I am wrong here. If only I had been there at least it wouldn't have been that bad" the Empress replied.
Ashlan smiled mockingly but her expression seemed to want to cry.
"Well! If you're there, you might as well die."
The Empress answered everything. Ashlan was right, he could have died if he had been there at the time, but at least he could have mitigated the worst of it if it had been there. Instead of coming in late and watching it all be over.
"....... It's been ½ millennia more since that incident. What's the point of talking about it again now?" upset Ashlan.
"If all you want is for me to recall that nightmare, congratulations! You have succeeded!"
The words that came out of the fox woman's mouth pierced the empress' heart. He had absolutely no such intention.
"..... Sorry, Ashlan. I just-"
SWWOOOOOOOOSSSHHHHH
"!?"
Not yet had the empress finish her sentence, there was something that immediately caught the attention of the two of them.
"This... killing aura?!" shocked Ashlan.
"Who can give off a killing aura this big!?"
"Who dares to emit a murderous aura during the dance!?" angry Empress.
Unexpectedly, the answer to that question was answered so quickly. Just by following the origin of the killing aura, Ashlan instantly knew who brought it out.
"!!"
Ashlan's eyes instantly widened.
"That boy!!!"
As expected, the one who exuded such a killing aura that people had difficulty breathing and collapsed rapidly was Aqua.
He stood in the middle of the hall while holding Ruby's hand and stared intently at the nobles and the imperial family. His eyes emitted an incredible killing intent, as if this one in front of them was not a human but a dragon whose level difference was so great.
Realizing the situation, Ashlan headed straight for Aqua without thinking 2 times. The queen also followed him from behind.
"Dumb fuck! What are you doing!?" angry Ashlan.
Aqua did not reply, not even reducing her killing aura in the slightest. Because of this Ashlan took decisive action by emitting an aura in equal amounts to suppress the aura of Aqua.
"!"
"Master?!"
Only this time did Aqua realize Ashlan's whereabouts.
Without further ado, Ashlan immediately threw his fist at the boy. If this was normally the case, Aqua would have bounced onto the wall like before. But the boy did not even flinch. He received that punch on his cheek until his mouth spit out a bit of blood.
Ashlan's eyes were somewhat glared in surprise.
Actually Aqua was reluctant to stop her aura, because now she was in a state of wrath. But his common sense came back, he couldn't possibly kill innocent children just because of someone else's fault.
"I'm sorry, Master."
The sudden influx of dark purple aura made everyone breathe normally again. The aura did not leak for too long, but in just a short period of time, Aqua's aura had already instilled an overwhelming fear in their hearts.
Ashlan propped up her tired forehead and eyes.
"What exactly happened?"
Although Ashlan asked that, she actually knew what had happened to her disciple. How not? Everything looks so clear. Only fools don't understand.
Aqua was holding Ruby's right hand open because her dress was blurred. In that white and soft hand, there was a scar of incisions and lashes that were so big as a snake trail.
A few minutes ago, while dancing, Ruby who slipped on the wet floor almost fell down. Luckily Aqua caught him in time so Ruby wasn't hurt. But in that position, Ruby's right-sleeved dress blushed a little to show a strange striped. Suspicious, Aqua accidentally took off the part.
He was surprised by the facts he saw. This much smaller fiancee of hers had a whip scar on her hand. Unknowingly that killing aura had already come out from him. He was angry, very angry for various reasons.
Just one word he said after that.
"Who's the bastard who did this!?"
Ashlan who saw his disciple did not reply said nothing. He glanced towards the nobility, the imperial family and the alternate Ruby.
The nobles had already collapsed and trembled violently with expressions of fear until the trauma. Some even pee in their pants so scared. The imperial family stiffened, they also felt cold sweat running down their backs and a gripping feeling like death standing before them, yet they were able to maintain their composure.
Last Ruby, Ashlan was confused by the girl's response. Even though Aqua did not direct her aura at the girl, she should still be afraid. But instead of being afraid, there was Ruby staring at Aqua full of question marks.
"Why is he angry?"
The girl's expression was as if asking that.
"We can't continue the party like this" Ashlan said tiredly.
"Yes, I agree with you" replied the Empress as tired.
Ashlan's tail is 9, but she doesn't show her 9th at all times. Only 1 tail was displayed when normal. And the tail now enveloped Ruby's head gently. It was as if he was calming the girl down without speaking.
"It's best to end this party soon. After that let's have a good talk about this."
Ashlan suggested that while looking intently at the Emperor and the Machioness. Of course two of them were able to catch Ashlan's intent, even though the one they caught was different.
"I agree with you once again. If we don't talk about it carefully, maybe this could lead to a war between the Empire and the Vittacelar Kingdom" the Empress nodded.
"And if that were to happen, the magic tower would definitely side completely with the Vittacelar Kingdom."
