Ch. 110: The Bet [2]

"Kiiieekkk!!"

 

As if the world was slowing down, a monster with human legs suddenly jumped out of the cabin and lunged toward her.

 

Charlotte's deep blue eyes widened in terror as she saw its monstrous hand hurtling towards her at incredible speed.

 

"Your Highness!"

A knight swiftly stepped forward and deftly swung his sword, preventing it from reaching the Princess.

 

—Splat!

 

"Ah!"

Charlotte jolted in surprise as black blood splattered on her face and clothes.

She stumbled backwards before finally landing on her rear.

 

"Haa… haa…"

 

She staggered backward, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she tried to process what had just happened.

 

—Thud!

 

The monster's head rolled on the ground followed by its massive body crashing to the wooden planks.

The creature's inky black blood spattered across the floor, staining them with a deep, dark hue.
