"It is time to die your highness"
The dragon smiled brightly at the angelic face of the crown prince.
"No! Please Sir Dragon! " Elles, the red-skinned block in between the dragon and the prince,
She wholeheartedly shielded the crown prince with her own body, without her knowing that the prince behind her was smirking viciously behind her, and the dragon didn't miss that second. "The crown prince is innocent! I don't know how you judge humans, but please have mercy!" she exclaimed indignantly.
The dragon sneered at the Tamahaling tribe members.
[This pure and soft nature of these female warriors is also the reason why Duke Cornelio managed to annihilate this powerful being. They are violent but soft at the same time. What a weird combination of traits]
The dragon sighed. "What a waste of power if you keep being tricked, little reddy"
The dragon has now entered the large hole she made by removing the whole ceiling of the throne room. She landed at the center of the room, and the mages and knights prepared their defense and attack magic.
"This is not your land, vicious creature! Leave this place! Now!" The King surprisingly stood up and commanded the Dragon to leave, but the second prince panicked as he heard his father being disrespectful toward the Dragon.
He wants to stop his father, but his voice won't come out because of fear. The dragon is surrounded by an unnerving aura that makes everyone in the room start to feel sick and suffocated.
[FUCK FUCK FUCK! What should I do! Ernesto didn't say anything about this! Are we going to die?] his eyes shook and his knees felt so weak that he ended up kneeling on one leg.
"Oh!" the dragon smiled again.
"Should I kill you first?" As she took her first step, the ground shook again.
"Protect His Majesty!" Then the knight and mages make their moves. They cast a five-layer shield toward the royalties, then the knights and mages attacked the dragon together.
"Oh, scary," she said mischievously. Of course, all the attacks were useless since the knights could not even get close to the dragon to slash their swords. On top of the eerie aura that the dragon is emitting, a magnetic wave is surrounding the dragon that makes it impossible to approach.
The dragon yawned and gestured his fingers sideways. The room became silent for a moment, but screams and slashing sounds could be heard in the area afterwards.
The royals' mouths are wide open as they watch their subordinates lose their heads one by one.
The Tamahaling tribe member sharpened her gaze and shouted, "Please stop your cruelty!" She then prepared her stance to attack.
"Oh? Am I being cruel? Then what about the crown prince? What would you call that?" She pointed at the crown prince, who was brazenly hiding behind Elles.
Elles patted the shoulder of the crown prince, "Don't worry, your highness, you will be safe."
"Thank you! Thank you!" The prince kept his angelic face and teary eyes to look more pitiful in the eyes of the red-skinned. She then kicked off the ground and her body shot toward the dragon, "Please stop killing!"
She squeezed all her remaining powers and gathered them in her hand to form a dual dagger.
But before she could land her attack, the dragon launched her fire breath toward the royals, who were shivering under the five-layer shields.
She made a U-turn and absorbed the fire breath with her body.
"Oh? I forgot I cannot go against Tamahaling with fire" the dragon swallowed her remaining fire breath and formed ice in her finger." "How about ice?"
"Please let's talk this out!" The second prince finally managed to speak out.
The dragon paused for a moment and looked at the child who feed her.
[Oh I almost forgot this good child, oh boy, let's not kill this good boy.]
Fetahaya liked the second prince, despite the fact that they had only recently met. [It would be better if this child was the King]
She wagged her tail as she thought. [Okay, let's talk first. In the meantime, I will find a way that this good boy won't be accidentally killed while I am killing his family] She smiled satisfyingly, "Okay, let's talk"
The destroyed throne room became calm again, despite having piles of corpses.
"Sir Dragon, please! The crown prince is not related to any of this! The culprits are now all gone!" She looked at the headless body of Count Cleo, who was one of the poor humans who got slashed by the dragon a while ago.
"Really?" The dragon tapped her finger on the floor while thinking, "Then let's cast a covenant spell on the crown prince," she suggested.
"No! I am a royal! Everything I say is the truth!" The crown prince was shakenly rejected.
Usually royalties can get away with their crime because they are allowed to reject covenant spells, but not in the Dragon's perception. Royal blood is nothing to him.
"Crown Prince, just do the covenant spell!" The second prince angrily shouted, [How dare he persist in hiding his crime when everyone is going to die!]
"Son do it." The king looked at the crown prince with a stern expression. He then asked the Dragon afterward, "Will you leave after we cast that spell?" King Rojard Nidea really looked regal as he talked in between his son and the dragon.
"No father! We are royalty! Why do we have to follow a dragon!" The crown prince hard headedly declined. "I, Vincent Jhon Nidea, the crown prince of Kingdom Sibol, won't submit myself to another race!" he proudly declared.
"What nonsense?" she asked, lifting her finger again. "Then there is nothing we can talk about." She released multiple spears to fire towards the crown prince.
"Noooooooooo!" Elles protected the prince and shielded her own body from all the spears that ended up piercing her like a barbeque.
The crown prince fell down and looked at his mage to speed up the casting of teleportation magic.
"Poor little Reddy, you shouldn't waste your life on him." She whispered to Elles, "This little prince is your enemy, not me."
she then slashed the head of the mage who is casting the teleportation magic and cast the covenant spell toward the prince
"The truth would be told, Lie and you will die, now answer me with all honesty, who owns the research facility"
The crown prince's face became pale. "Answer me in five seconds. If you fail, I'll kill you. If you lie, you will also die."
Elles was breathing heavily because of her body being pierced by ice spears, but she still looked at the prince, hoping that she was not wrong with the person she was protecting.
"I own it! "The dragon hadn't started her countdown yet, but the crown prince already shouted his answer.
"For what reason did you build it?"
"Alchemy!"
"What is the usual test subject?"
"Human"
"and also?"
"Other races!" The crown prince is answering the dragon while his eyes are shut.
"Is Tamahaling included?"
"Yes!"
The eyes of Elles became clouded as she screamed while still pierced with ice. She formed her daggers again with her own two hands, and the ice spears instantly melted.
The crown prince guessed what was going to happen next. That is why he frantically shouted to his subordinates, "Protect me!!!!!!!!"
Stab!
The two daggers of Elles pierced straight to the heart of the crown prince.
"HOW DARE YOU TRICK ME TWICE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!" The prince was stabbed so many times by the angry red-skinned tribe member that he died with his eyes open.
huff huff huff huff huff
Elles pants. She is now losing oxygen.
The dragon watched Elles slowly dying while still on top of the crown prince. Her usual red skin is bathed in the crown prince's dark red blood. She lost her breath without saying anything and was filled with tears in her eyes.
"What a dramatic way to die." She shrugged her shoulders and turned her gaze to the remaining royals.
"Killing time!" She pushed the second prince away from the other royalties, and he landed safely on the corpse pile she had just piled to use as a cushion for the second prince.
She stomped her gigantic paw and was about to attack the remaining royalties, but she felt a huge mass of mana falling down from the sky directly on her. She created a double layered shield and protected herself.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM
She looked to his side to shield the second prince, but the prince had his own shield, just like the other people inside the throne room.
The wall started to crack as the huge mass of mana crashed into her shield until all the surrounding walls crumbled down.
She commented, "Wow! That was intense!" while looking at the child in front of her awkwardly. The 13-year-old child is gazing at her menacingly.
[What did I do? Why so angry? Are you a friend of justice too?] She asked Ernesto using telepathy.
[Ate Fe, you must be enjoying your killing spree, but please be mindful that this is the kingdom we are living in.]
[So what? Are you acquainted with these royals?]
[Nope. Feel free to kill them all. but kuya is outside]
[Why would a fragile kid be here?] Her voice inside Ernesto sounds shocked and concerned, but the male dragon's face remains stoic.
[Long story. anyway you almost included him in your killing spree]
[oh my! I'm sorry I didn't notice that he was here!]
It's been two days since Ndulou left the Marquis castle, and as usual, Lucas reports to him everything the child does.
A moment ago, Lucas contacted Ernesto to tell him that Ndulou was almost killed by the careless dragon.
"Second prince." The child called the shocked prince
"Your highness, please lead everyone out of this place. Stay as far as you can. I'll give you a minute to run." He then looked back at the dragon, "Sir Dragon, want to play with me?"
The dragon tilted her head as she watched all the humans hurriedly leave the destroyed castle.
"What game are we playing?" she asked, and the child smiled back.
