Chapter 4

Cute little Child

'Impossible! Those monsters kneeled on a mere kid!'

Of course, they will kneel on Chiara. They will also beg for their lives. Yes, they are a type of demon, but they are the lowest type of it.

Chiara's soul has a blood of half demon, which is superior than them. Besides she's a direct granddaughter of Katakuri Behemoth.

Viscount Java fell from his place and screamed. The monsters growled but Chiara placed her left foot on their leader's head.

'Gulp!' The monsters gulped as Chiara looked at them.

They saw a terrifying image of a woman, the one who will reign in the future, all of them saw that. How terrifying Chiara can be the nobles formed a conclusion on their heads. The prophecy is now fulfilled.

'Impossible!' In the Archduke's mind. He mindlessly spouted:

"Even monsters will bow their heads before a certain human. Thy person cannot be controlled nor manipulated. Humanity will be saved from thy greed. Thus, all avaricious humans shall perish with thee..."

The Marquess Calla's face distorted quickly as he heard thy word spouted from the Archduke's mouth. Because of the silence, Baron Ralacie broke the silence.

"Ehe-em!" He rasped. "First of all, Your Highness the Emperor, shouldn't we evacuate first?"

"That's right! Iara dear let go of those monsters first."

Chiara did what he said.

"You shall guard this forest for me." She whispered to the monsters and smiled creepily. "Don't ever attack any single person, without my consent. Right?" Those monsters nodded their heads and ran towards the forest.

"Now, let's count the hunted animals of each and every one, shall we?" Said by the Emperor.

They started to calm down, they all stared at Chiara.

'I always feel like, somebody's watching me. I can perhaps relate to that song lyrics.'

"Wow! That's gweat Pwincess!" Lia said.

"That's right! That's right!" Bea added.

Charlotte hugged Chiara and praised her too. They hugged altogether.

"Two white tailed deer from Viscount Java. One rabbit from Lord Russel Java." It went on and on.

The three Duke's have the highest number of animals, as well as their children.

"His Highness the Emperor have five Javelina, one bear, one rabbit."

Of course, the Emperor showed off his skills just for her daughter.

'I bet it's time for me to act like a kid.'

"Wow! Papa! You arethe best, you're so cool!" She said.

"Of course!" He lifted Chiara in the air and they both laughed.

The aristocrats sighed, maybe it was just a complete assumption.

'Good grief, you fools please believe that I am just a cute little child.'

Chiara yawned so the Emperor rushed the event now.

"Who will you give this to?"

They all offered their preys to their wives, but their sons offered everything to Chiara including the sons of the Dukes.

Of course, the Emperor pouted. He thought that they will take Chiara away from him.

"Hmph! All of mine belongs to Chiara." His Majesty said.

"Her Highness, the Crown Princess placed second in this hunting contest. The one who received the highest number of hunted animals is Duchess Selena Wynne Atkinson, the Duchess of Atkinson is the queen of the hunt!"

"Congratulations Duchess!" Chiara said happily.

"Thank you, my Princess." She replied.

The Duchess of Atkinson is the Emperor's half little sister. She's as fine as a polished porcelain. She's super kind. She treats Chiara as her own child, because she pities Chiara because she doesn't have a mother figure.

All of them pretended to be happy, aside from the three Duke's family and Chiara. The Viscountess of Java is boiling inside, she wanted to be the queen of the hunt. She thinks she's the most perfect girl in the Social Circle.

She stormed out of the Gampadia forest.

"D-darling wait." The Viscount said. "Pardon me, Your Highness the Emperor."

The dusk is almost here, they ended it now, tomorrow is the real date of Chiara's birthday. The Emperor carried Chiara as they went through the carriage to go home in the Imperial Palace.

Once again, Chiara fell asleep on her father's arm. OH, what a lovely sight! The Emperor was lost in his thoughts.

'When the time comes, Chiara will surely fell in love with a man, not that I don't want her to find a spouse. I just can't imagine the site of her settling down.'

"Sighs..."

"Your Highness, we're now here."

The knights opened the carriage door for their Emperor. They formed a line to greet the Emperor but the Emperor shushed them because Chiara is sleeping.

'Chandria, if you were alive, will you tie her hair? Will you take care of her like other mothers will do? Of course, you will.'

"Papa?"

"Yes, dear?"

"I love you..." Chiara said.

The Emperor smiled and caressed her hair.

'Probably I'm not enough for you but I'm doing my best to give you the motherly love that you can't feel. That's why I decided to cut your connection to every man that will possibly hurt you. I'll do anything to protect you.'

(Insert determined pose.)

"...I love you..." Said by a crying man.

He held her in his arms as he cried out loud. Her blood is dripping out from her body continuously. She raised her hands and held his face.

"Don't cry my love..."

A loud gunshot was heard.

Chiara woke up with a heavy head.

'Is that a premonition'

She saw that the lights are off, she's in her room but everything's dark. It's obviously nighttime. She heard a noise. She softly opened the door; she saw a maid holding a lamp acting suspiciously.

'It might be an assassin.'

She pretended to sleep on her bead, underneath her blanket she's holding a butterfly knife. She heard the door creaking. She felt the presence in her bed.

"Princess, wake up..."

"Nngh..." She pretended to open her eyes. "Why are you waking me up?"

"Shh..." She shushed the Princess. "There is assassin's outside, we better hide."

'What? Why would I believe you?'

*CLANK!

*SWOOSH!

*TABAM!

A weird clanking noises of blades were heard in the kitchen. The chefs and cooks were fighting the assassins using their kitchen knives.

"You guys sure are tough." Said by the pewter haired assassin.

"We are, you damn dipshit assassins."

Since the day Chiara said that someone will kill her, they started to train themselves in order to protect her.

"We won't let you harm the princess!"

"Hoo? Really? Then, we'll kill you first."

"Ugh! There's no end to these freaks!" Said by the yellow haired assassin.

"Say, assassin lad, why are you planning to attack the Princess in the first place? Tomorrow's her birthday."

The assassin's laughed.

"It's an order from our boss."

Joseph woke up from the noisy clanking sound. He was shocked to see the assassins.

'Damn it! I can't even protect the Princess.'

He grabbed two blades; the assassins don't notice him because they are too busy fighting the cooks. He immediately threw it to their butts.

"Ouch!"

"What the fuck?!"

Their ass is now bleeding, they saw Chiara in a corner.

"Oho! The Princess is now here, our job will be easy."

Chiara grabbed a classic craftsman knife and stabbed the lying assassin's left chest, directly to the heart. They all gulped; she stabbed the assassin again ten times.

"Kono yaro..." She whispered.

TRANSLATION: You bastard...

Chiara looked at them, they saw bloodlust in her eyes.

"This..." she said and stared at the corpse in front of her, "is how you do it."

The assassins were shocked as well as Chiara's loyal servants. Chiara is very observant; she saw the Viscount's family crest.

'As I thought it's the Java's family. Tomorrow is my birthday, and this is their birthday gift to me? Thanks, I guess?'

"Hey, minion." She called the yellow haired one.

"What?"

"Say thanks to your boss' birthday gift to me. Tell them they're dead."

"Oh really? You will die first!"

The assassins dropped a smoke bomb containing a large amount of strychnine.

'Shit! They still have tricks up their sleeves!'

She saw Joseph fainting behind the door. Through the smoke she saw each and everyone fainting except her and the assassins.

'Damn it! Guess I'll kill them all.'

"HAHAHAHA!" They all laughed thinking that Chiara also fainted, they didn't know that Chiara has the most advantage through this smoke.

Every one of them in every minute is screaming in pain. Chiara is jumping like an experienced jaguar through a forest.

'Guess grandpa taught me well...'

Their throats are all opened, it's Chiara's fighting style. She earned her high jumping because she's trained in the Redwoods Park.

The maids called the knights a while ago to explain the situation, they didn't believe them, so Cara went to the main palace to ask for help.

Entering the kitchen, there they saw Chiara sitting on top of the assassin's corpses, yawning. Arden was shocked on what he saw, Chiara has a bloody knife in her hands.

"What?" Chiara asked when she saw the knights. "The party is over, haangh..." She yawned again.

"C-chiara what happened?"

She looked at her father insanely happy.

"They tried to kill me, so I killed them." She told him and jumped out of the corpses.

She even licked the blood on the knife and said: "Type A, eww." She then starts to jog but not moving from her direction and instantly jump towards the knight and pointed her knife in his cheeks.

"Father, they're not skilled enough, I'm even faster than them, how can they be a knight?"

She jumped out again and went to raise her hands in front of her father.

"Upsy daisy." She spoke.

The emperor carried her and smelled the blood on Chiara, he looked at the knights.

"No word shall go out."

After that he went towards Chiara's room and wet the towel and cleaned Chiara's face and hands.

"Chiara, how can you kill them?"

"Simple, it's my specialty, Papa."

'No matter how I look at it, Chiara is just a cute little child, but I guess she's really taking after Chandria so much. But she still has a soft side like me.'

He hugged Chiara and prayed to God that Chiara's fate will not end like her mothers'.

Glimpse from the future...

Teresita and her gang is resting under the shade of a tree and bullying other people.

"So noisy..." Chiara said as she removed the book from her face.

Teresita just rolled her eyes on her and tsked. She can't fight Chiara back because of her status.

"Oh it's so hot in here..." Teresita said and used her hand to fan herself.

"I know right?" The underlings said and laughed.

"It's so hot like hell!" She said.

"How'd ya know? Are you from there?" Chiara said and looked at her from head to toe. "Maybe you're from hell, your attitude says so."

Chiara laughed and stuck her tounge and waved her hair. She walked past them.

"You! You!" Sandra said restraining herself from unnecessary actions against her.
