The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 86

Calvian sat himself down on the ground while regulating the wheezing breath. The middle-aged man needed quite a lot of mana in order to escape the influence of the necklace.

However, the contract with Krikia's necklace could not be taken off easily, unless she died or the king of Grambiel canceled the contract.

Iris immediately approached Calvian and healed her using holy magic.

The man's mind was fixed on the chain-masked girl. I don't know why he looks so much like Leona. Although he was still hesitant because his face was not exposed.

But the man was trying to remember something.

True, he did not know where his daughter's grave was and at that time did not hear of a funeral. He suspects it's Leona.

Where's the girl been all this time? Why is he avoiding himself?

Was the past apparition the real Leona? But he saw for himself that the girl had been pierced by the crown prince's sword right in his heart.

Various questions raged in his mind before Iris' voice distracted him.

"Dad, are you okay?" Asked the girl with teary eyes when she saw the man frowning.

Calvian just cleared his throat in response and moved up towards the tent where the hunting event was conducted.

Iris followed the father's wide stride even though she was far behind the man.

Why did you follow me all the way here?" The successful cold question made Iris look down and clench her hands nervously.

"I saw Dad walking here in a hurry. So I decided to follow Dad." Terrified tweet.

Without answering Iris' words, Calvian immediately left the girl who was now bowed

Iris could only clench her hands restraining emotions. Why didn't the man accept her apology? Moreover, during the development of his relationship with the crown prince there was no progress. They have not even decided on the wedding date.

Iris feels Calvian is staying away from her because of the masked girl who somehow can look like Leona, though she's not sure she has to make sure of anything.

Soon the girl left following Calvian who had walked far in front of her.

Participants who followed the hunting competency lined up neatly and gathered their hunted monsters. Instantly all the participants and spectators stared at the group from the empire with horror.

They captured first-rate monsters along with several orch nations. The look on the face of King Grambiel instantly became bad, but he managed to hide well.

Emperor Ein who saw that could only chuckle without a sound, even Leona grinned widely behind her mask to think of her next plan.

"Thank you to the audience who has been present in the hunting competition this time. The owner of the highest points as well as the winner of this competition was the Kamitsuki imperial group. As promised, I'm handing over this royal heritage necklace." His exclamation was slightly annoyed when he saw the mocking smile of the group.

Khalix was pushed forward to take the prize by Emperor Ein by raising his eyebrows. Lazily the man came forward approaching the king of Grambiel who was looking at him with annoyance. Khalix smiled in anguish as he imagined the man was upset in public.

"Fuck the gift you gave me, motherfucker. You think with all this we're gonna turn ourselves in? You're too greedy, arrogant, stupid and weak. I wonder if your head contains gold coins or golden brains? It must be expensive to sell." Khalix's whisper in a murderous tone made King Grambel tighten his jaw. Her vexed veins appeared adorning the middle-aged man's neck and head.

"Who dare you insult me, you son of a bitch! I'm king of this kingdom." Angry king Grambiel with a stifled tone. Khalix chuckled amusedly at the middle-aged man's words.

"Oh, I'm the kid you want to eliminate. Are you getting senile?" Whisper again and immediately take the gift that the servant brought.

"Say what do you think of this competition?" Ask one of the audience enthusiastically.

Khalix cleared his throat for a moment and looked at the audience and participants nervously.

"I think this competency... It's boring." He said with a smile while putting on a sleepy face and yawned widely, not forgetting to lift the kiss bye towards the audience and get off the stage.

The crown prince clenched his hands. The necklace should be his and will be given to his future wife.

King Grambiel was insulted by the words Khalix. How dare that person call this competence boring? He had to think of a way to get rid of Khalix and his entourage.

Crown Prince Casian immediately left from there with a feeling of anger. A second later a cruel grin appeared on his handsome face.

💠💠💠💠💠

The Orch nation appeared with their flagship weapon as all the competition participants were busy clearing their tents. Some people began to fall when hit by the green nation's weapons.

"The Orch Nation is coming!"

"We're under attack!"

"Calvian, cover me!" The king of Grambiel cried out in panic and fear. The man immediately left the area, ignoring the bewildered nobles and subordinates.

The number of Orchites reached thousands, while they numbered in the hundreds. Unbalanced numbers make them hesitant and fearful.

'Out'

'Out'

Several magic symbols appeared under the feet of the nation and caused a huge explosion. Some of the Orchites affected by the explosion died with scattered bodies.

Then several kunai and shuriken and various weapons were thrown towards the nation. Instantly many Orchs died with puncture wounds.

Some of the soldiers who saw that were shocked and gazed towards the origin of the weapon. Jim, a masked girl and Wei Tao put up the horses and a few meters from them there were the bodies of the Orch people scattered considering their tents were the most outsider and prone to attack.

"Because we have a guest, we'd better greet you with great fanfare." Emperor Ein said as he restored his hair, not forgetting that the man was putting on a handsome pose.

Leona opened her mask, making some people look at the girl in disbelief. While Kei and Ken growl flaunting their canines.

"Everything!! Go forward!" Shouted Leona and immediately ran towards the Orch nation followed by the emperor and his colleagues.

The sound of the clanking of swords, explosions and cries of pain echoed in the area. They destroyed the Orchites who attacked their tents.

Accompanied by a rain of flower petals, a hail of weapons and ice needles, made some nobles stare at the fight in awe and horror. Moreover, those flower petals could produce a deadly explosion.

Some of the soldiers deployed his men to help the emperor Ein and his troops. Even Calvian helped out while grumbling.

'The king is useless. Instead of saving nobles and giving orders, he was terrified. Really makes me a hassle.'

Leona counted the number of Orchs running towards her casually, then she chanted some hand seals and stomped them to the ground. In a short period of time, most of the Orch nation was confined within a crystal.

Everyone was shocked by it, even Jim and the two demon men who were always with him.

"Leona, you?" Jim muttered that was reciprocated with the girl's innocent look.

"Why, Uncle? I'm tired. They deserve to be on display like that. If we sell, we'll be rich." Leona's grin is instantly reciprocated with love from Kazuma.

"What if they get loose, Leona?" Ask annoyed.

Leona puts on a thinking pose that somehow looks annoying.

"It's good that they are free. So we can play, Kazuma." Say lightly.

Those who were close to Leona could only stroke the chest full of patience. It was very desirable for them to throw the girl into another world if only she had no meaningful role in their lives.

"But Leona, you can't make jokes like this." Emperor Ein's annoyance. Leona just grinned without sin.

While the Orchians approached their companion who was trapped inside the crystal and struck it, the ill-fated crystal shattered into pieces with its trapped companion.

'Prang's'

"I'm just saying that they'll be free to go to hell with second-rate VIP service." Then the girl snapped her finger.

The sound of shards rang out there, as the crystal shattered into small pieces. Even the trapped Orchites were destroyed with him. Suddenly they were gaped up in disbelief to see it.

"Why can?"

"W-how can it be?"

"Because the crystals changed their bodies. It's not magic anyway, isn't it." Leona said relaxed.

"Kill him!!" Cried the leader of the Orch nation furiously. Their numbers are drastically reduced.

Fierce battles again occurred and in a short time they have been successfully paralysed. Several survivors are interrogated, and the wounded soldiers are treated by Kaze and Kiara by distributing their artificial elixirs.

"Let's take that king down." Excited one of the noble factions furiously.

"really. He's not fit to be our king."

The emperor and his army smiled slantedly. Then a plan appeared in the man's head.

"Hey, where's the crown prince? Wasn't he here?" The Emperor asked in confusion. The nobles fell silent and only realized that the crown prince was not fighting with them.

"Oh, right. Was he scared and chose to hide? Father and son are both useless." Another noble's lips.

"To this day you may return to your residence. The rest come to the king's palace and make a festive occasion!" Emperor Ein exclaimed excitedly. Finding additional troops to get rid of the king turned out to be very easy. It seemed like the nobles disliked their king after the death of queen Errena.
