Zero's Point Of View
"H-How?, That's impossible!". He angrily says because he failed. "Seriously, I thought you died!". He muttered as he glares intently at us. "Well, don't celebrate too early Old man that's just how it is". I said to him that made him be angered even more. "But how did you make the Poison rendered useless?". The Queen asked me. "I used Purification". I said to them as a start. "When I offered to hold your wine glasses, I secretly purify those when the wine was poured". I explained further. "But we didn't find any magic circles activating and you didn't even chant a word". The Guildmaster said to me. "Actually there is a magic circle but it is tiny to not be able to easily visible in the naked eye, and for that not chanting is one of my ability, a trump card for a situation like these". I said to them.
"Heh, yes you may be able to prevent me from poisoning you all, I guess I'll just kill you using this Artifact". He said as he take out a Dark Crystal. " W-What the hell!!!". The Guildmaster exclaimed in shock so I look at them. "What's the matter? Why we all of you so shocked?". I said asking them. "That's a Forbidden Artifact the Cursed Crystal". The Princess answered. "That's right, this Artifact was made throught Dark Magic, With this someone can attain great power in exchange of...". The Duke says pausing as he smile so maliciously.
"In exchange of what?". I asked him and so he laughed out loud giving a grin. "In exchange of A Royalty's Blood and Mana of Course!! Hahahaha!!!". He said that made The Queen and Princess so shocked. "D-Did You...". The Princess didn't finish what she was going to when a news was said. "Yes it is, to gain this thing I killed your father! Hahaha!!!". He said as he gulp that artifact. As the Princess became pale in learning how was her Father died. "And now, using this killing you lot won't be that hard hahaha". He muttered. As his apearrance changes, He grew fangs, his skin turned into dark green and became large with his body filling with violet tattoos. "HAHAHA' NOW THIS IS MAGNIFICENT". He said in a big deep voice because of transforming. An Ogre!!!". The Maids exclaimed as they saw the wall being smashed revealing the creature.
"HAHAHA!!! THAT'S RIGHT BE AFRAID OF ME HAHAHA!!!". He said as vanished. I didn't see him for I was a bit shocked. Then a scream echoed. "No!!! Mother!!!!!". The Princess shouted that made us take a look at Her Highness. He appeared there behind her as she was strucked by a big rod in the stomach as she hold it. And then he threw her asidevat a corner. "You!!! Coward!!!". The Princess angrily muttered as she tried to charge at him. That's qhen I stopped her. "Don't stop me!!! Let me go!". She shouted as she cries forcing me to free her. "Don't be stupid Princess you'll get yourself killed, don't be driven by your anger". The Guildmaster said to her as he also tried to stop her.
"But Mother is... Mother is-". She didn't finish her sentence when a voice spoke that gave chills and shiver. "Oh dear, don't cry like that's not how a lady should act". The Queen says that made us look at her. She moved from there and stood straight. Thus making that scumbag back off and makea distance away from her. "I-Impossible, you're stomach was severely damaged but you're a-alive!!! M-Mother!!". The Princess was amazed but shocked at the same time. "Oh dear, I didn't really tgought my secret would be revealed this way, Would you mind knowing my Dear?". The Queen asked the Princess. "Y-Yes, O-Of course I'm your daughter of course I would". The Princess replied at her mother.
"I was known as Queen Elize Daywalker but that's just an Alias but to tgink that an idiot would dare to fight me not knowing who I really was". She muttered. "What do you mean by that Mother?". The Princess asked. "My real name is Elizabeth Von Vlademir". The Queen introduced herself with dignified tone that The Bastard Ogre and The Guoldmaster became pale as they hear. "Y-You mean you're The Vampiric Heroine of Great War!!!". The Guildmaster exclaimed at learning it. "What was the matter Mr. Guildmaster?". The Princess asked him. "You must known it Princess, The Legends of the Daywalker Vampire Princess who slaugthered a mass of Monsters and Demons single handedly". He stated that made the Princess surprised and looked at her mother. "Now that'swhy her appearance didn't change for over three dacades have passed". The Guildmaster said so silently but I overheard it. As we look at The Queen as her Black hair changed into a silver colored one, as she grew fangs and Iris became as crimson as blood and her wounds regenarated.
"Now, shall one who dared to assassinate me". She said and then vanished reappearing in front of the ogre. And then she smacked his face but it didn't do much damage. "HAHAHA!!!, EVEN A HEROINE CAN'T PEIRCE THIS SKIN HOW PATHETIC!!!". He prously says at her but shejust smirked at him. "Oh ol' pathetic creature, kneel" She said then so The Ogre knelt before her. "WHY, HOW DOES MY BODY MOVED ON IT'S OWN?!!!". He said as he kept kneeling. "Let's just say that you messed with the wrong person". She said and then gives a shivering look. "Blood Explosion". She said as she snapped her fingers.
Thus, the Ogre burst into blood like a exploded bomb. Splattering the blooshed everywhere. As she looked at us so intently specially at The Princess. So the Princess ran towards her hugging her so tightly. As she cried. "Now, now, don't cry on me that much". The Queen said calming her child. "Can you blame me, seeing you in that situation". The Princess stated as she cried so relentlessly at her Mother's arms.
