Chapter 70: The Twisted Princess
"Renner, what do you think about the Empire's mention of the Ainz Ooal Gown Sorcerer Kingdom?" The Second Prince asked as he looked at the incoming message.
"I think we should agree to their request."
The Second Prince looked at Renner in disbelief.
"Why would you come to that conclusion?"
"Because the Kingdom's Chief Warrior, he should be the strongest person in this country, and he knows better than anyone what true power is. He has agreed to cede E-Rantel to the Sorcerer Kingdom. I think it's fine to give up E-Rantel."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm very serious!"
The Second Prince clasped his hands behind his head and began to ponder.
"Renner, you're underestimating the Kingdom. The Chief Warrior is indeed strong, but what can a mere warrior do?"
"Are you confused about something?" Renner suddenly leaned closer to the Second Prince, her gaze dark and ominous as she looked at him.
"The king is a joke."
"What do you mean by that, Renner?"
"Well? I have a suggestion. How about we kill the king and the first prince, and you become the emperor?"
"Do you know Emperor Jircniv of the Empire? He's also known as the Bloody Emperor. How about you become the Bloodthirsty Emperor?"
"What are you talking about? Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy. Every major noble has an undercover agent of mine. As soon as a noble dies, they can immediately take over everything that noble had."
"Where do you get the power? Where are your subordinates?"
Renner didn't speak. Instead, she shook the bell in her hand.
A maid knocked on the door and entered.
"Lady Renner, what are your orders?"
"Come here."
The maid, hearing the command, walked over to Renner's side.
"Can you go die?"
"Lady Renner, what do you mean by this?"
"The literal meaning."
Renner drew a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed at the maid.
However, the maid was quick and agile, dodging the attack and evading Renner's dagger.
The Second Prince watched silently, not understanding what his very clever sister was trying to do.
"Lady Renner, playing with a dagger is not a good choice."
"You are a maid sent by the Count of Kazte Border. But your true identity is that you are a subordinate of Duke Sreyak. And the Duke has arranged many maids like you—skilled in combat—around influential people, right?"
"Sorry, Lady Renner, but you know too much."
The maid stopped pretending and drew a poison-tipped dagger from the sole of her shoe, stabbing it fiercely toward Renner's neck.
However, the poisoned dagger couldn't even pierce the skin of Renner's neck.
Renner ignored the maid and turned her gaze toward the Second Prince.
"Brother, do you think it's difficult for a person with extremely high intelligence and great strength to gain power and have subordinates?"
Renner extended her delicate hand and gently grasped the maid's arm holding the dagger. With a strong twist and pull, the maid's arm was forcibly ripped off by Renner.
"Do you think I'm right, Brother?" Renner smiled happily, her expression completely unmasked. It looked incredibly eerie.
The maid's eyes went blank, not even reacting as her arm was easily torn off.
Under normal circumstances, when someone's arm is torn off, their body would be pulled along with it.
But if the twisting and pulling is done in an instant, it's possible to tear off the arm before the other person can react.
"It's just like the death roll of a crocodile."
Blood splattered all over the Second Prince and Renner.
The maid, feeling excruciating pain, was about to scream when Renner swiftly killed her first.
Renner was laughing, and she was laughing very happily.
"Brother, have you ever experienced the feeling of having power? It's truly so satisfying."
"Things that couldn't be done before can now be done freely. Asking people to do things no longer requires beating around the bush."
"Now, Brother, do you agree with the plan I just mentioned?"
The Second Prince was in shock, unsure of what to say.
"Can I have some time to think it over?"
"Calling you 'Brother' is out of politeness, but if you refuse, your fate might end up like hers."
"If you kill me here, don't think you can escape."
"Divine Light Healing!" Renner's hand emitted a glow, and the wounds of the dead maid were healed.
"Puppet Technique."
The maid seemed to come back to life, standing up covered in blood.
"Lady Renner, what is your command?"
"Your place of death is not necessarily going to be here."
"Monster, you're a monster."
"Don't you often call me that?"
"You don't have the right to refuse!"
In order to survive, the Second Prince agreed.
"Just don't tell Father. He won't believe that his beloved Renner is like this until he sees it with his own eyes."
The Second Prince ran out of the door, madly sprinting. He didn't stop until he reached his room, closed the door, collapsed onto the ground, and panted heavily.
"Who gave her such powerful strength? Nothing can penetrate her. What will happen to my future? Who will help me? What should I do...?"
Renner waved her hands in the air, and the dead maid, like a puppet, started walking toward the castle gates.
"Stop! The gates are closed. No one is allowed in or out!" A soldier noticed the maid and shouted at her.
"Go to hell!"
The maid raised her dagger and stabbed at the soldier. The guards at the castle gates were skilled, and though the attack came suddenly, they managed to dodge it. The group of soldiers quickly subdued the maid.
The maid immediately slashed her neck and committed suicide.
After handling things, Renner changed into more practical clothes for movement, then used flight magic to leave the castle. She arrived at a hidden location in the city.
A group of masked, black-clad individuals, dressed like Renner, appeared.
"Leader, everything has been taken care of."
"Good! Once the task is complete, all of you will become nobles," Renner's voice changed, turning into that of a mature male.
"It's time for the Kingdom to change. Now is the time for us to make history."
"I've been looking for you all for a long time, and finally, I've found you."
A man with blue hair holding a knife suddenly appeared.
"Are you looking for death?"
The black-clad person, that actually was Renner, spoke up.
"Hello, I am Brian Unglaus. I've been watching all the little moves you've been making recently. Surrender now!"
Clink!
Renner drew a dagger and swiftly struck, sending Unglaus back.
"Martial Arts Domain!" Unglaus immediately assumed a combat stance.
"Four Swords Slash!"
Sword light flashed, but Renner remained unharmed. She appeared in front of Unglaus and struck him with a palm, sending him flying.
"If you have no ability, don't try to act like a hero," Renner said, then left.
All the black-clad individuals disappeared without a trace.
