38 CHAPTER 37: Queen's Assassination Prevention Part 2

Zero's Point Of View

As we finished discussing the matter a maid called for the Queen from the door as she knocked . "Uhm, Your Highness the meals were serve at the dining hall and Mister Scumbach was waiting for you". She said with a tensed tone and manner without showing herself. "Just wait for a while, we were just going to prepare ourselves". The Quen replied with kind impression to her. "Please take your time your Highness". She said as we hear her footsteps going from the distance. "So shall we go greet him". The Queen asked to us but The Princess was the only one who answered.

"Of course Mother, it would be great to witness his reaction seeing me". The Princess says in a curious tone of voice. "Then shall you two accompany us there?". The Queen asked the Guildmaster and I. "Yes your Highness, That's an honorable request to be given to us". The Guildmaster replied with a humble tone. "Then Let's go". She said as she lead us walking to the hallway with such sophisticated form. Then we have finally get to the Dining Hall witnessing a galantly sophisticated table and well plated served food. But it changed as I see a Lump of a well fed Man with a Pig-like fatness sitting one of the chairs. "Good afternoon your Highness and... Princess Luna". He said upon greeting the Queen he stand but became surprised when he saw the Princess.

"You looked so tense Duke Scumbach". The Princess said to him. "A-Ah, I didn't ecpect that, you'll join us". He muttered with a fake smile. "Oh are you implying that I wasn't allowed to join my mother in eating a lunch meal?". She said that made him a bit shocked. "No I'm not implying such a thing Princess, but to see you here was a change of pace for you". He said with a fake humble man gesture. "Yes it is, since normally I wander around to seek a interesting entertainment". She said with a well taught speaking manner. "Speaking of which matter does the Duke came here by himself?". The Queen asked him in a governing manner.

"Well your Highness, see that a group of bandits was lurking ariund town, so I thought that approaching you is a must for this matter". He said but we knew he has a hidden Agenda. "Ah now that you mention that, my daughter said someone stabbed her earlier this morning and badly injured". The Queen stated as he give a fake corcerned look at the Princess. "That's a very huge crime for someone to dare doing it, but she seems fine that's a big relief". He said but I see him clenching his fist. "You said so, fortunately she was found by this young man and his companions, and luckily he can use Advance Healing Magic so my daughter was saved. "Really, that's a rare magic not someone can have that easily". He said so I was stared with anger for a split of seconds. "Oh, that much praise, I wasn't worthy, coming specially from a person like you Sire". I said intending to secretly being sarcastic.

"Such a praise wasn't enough for such a feat Kid, saving a heiress is a degree like saving the Town, Isn't it Your Highness". The Guildmaster said purposely to look like he agreed to the Scum Duke. "Now that you mention it that way, I can not think of something as a gift for his achievement". The Queen says as she acted like she was a bit frustrated but then that lightens the mood for the Duke. "Speaking of Gift your Highness, In my time walking around town, I came across this fruit wine would you like to take a sip from it?". He offered as he take out a Wine Bottle as we take that as a hint for his scheme. "Oh sorry I peomised that I won't be drinking a wine today but since shall I consider it, would you mind Dear?". The Queen said as she looked at her daughter. I won't mind it at all and I want to taste that as well". The Princess answered to her Mother. "Well then let me be the one to pour it to your glasses". He said to them.

"Sure!". The Queen replied as they reach their Wine Glasses unto him but they acted as they can't reach him. "Let me be honored to hold your glasses your Haighness". I offered. "Please do". She replied at me as they give me their glass. So that it was poured with wine and be given to them. "Would the two of you would take a sip of this wine". He happily offered at us. "With pleasure". I said so we let him pour at our glass as well and drank it.

Then suddenly the Queen acted as if she became unable to breathe and dropped dead. "Wait, Mother what hap-". The Princess acted with a panicked tone and became poisoned so did the Guildmaster. And so after them I acted like my heart was hurt. Acting out balanced thst I did well since I knew how to properly act it out since I was disabled before coming in this world. As I look at his grinning face I dropped at the floor.

Duke Scumbach's Point Of View

As they dropped one by one until they all did. I let out a very evil laugther. "Hahaha! Now I shall be the one to rule this Kingdom! Hahahaha!!!!". I said so relentlessly. I sat down with a malicious smile. "Now, nobody will be in my way". I stated as I look at them. "I'll have those women, I got the money and of course a Kingdom Hahaha". I said so to myself. "I'll raise their taxes in an amount that they won't ever be able to posses, I'll keep it that way then as they crawl in hopelessness I shall orser to take they daughters and Wives as a remedy for their taxes, As those poor men became so frustrated I'll be enjoying myself with their girls as my sex slaves hagaha". I needlessly said. But in a moment I became frozen. "Oi, Oi, that's so rotten of a Duke you know, did you really think, we were dead". A voice said that I looked at them slowly standing as I muttered this word. "H-How?".
