“What happened?” Archduke asked the knights, who fell onto the ground.
One of the knights responds, “Your grace you said she was dead, but she just moved.”
Archduke Lelouch frowned as he stared at the knight. “Are you saying I lied?” He asked. The Lelouch family controls all doctors, nurses, and medical pharmacies in the Empire. From a young age, they teach the successor’s medical knowledge. But Alad Lelouch was a genius at both medicine and sword. He became a certified doctor at eighteen and a first-class Aura user at twenty. So, saying that he misdiagnose a dead person would be a dishonor to the Lelouch line.
The Knight stood up from the ground and bowed his head. “My Apologies, your grace.” He apologized. They tried carrying her again, but as soon as they touched her. Her eyes opened. The knights backed away quickly due to the shock. Her eyes were a different color. They changed from a beautiful blue to a burning red.
A burst of loud laughter echoed. “Ha hahaha. She couldn’t even kill herself. Hahaha.” A fat noble with red hair said. This caused the other Nobles to laugh at Aria.
*Whoosh*
While they were laughing a gust of wind blew inside the throne room, causing everyone to close their eyes. “She’s gone!” The knight yelled as he looked around for Aria’s body.
*Kyaaaah*
A woman screamed in fear. Everyone turned in her direction to see why she screamed. What they saw shocked them. The fat red-haired noble was laying in a pool of his blood with his head severed from his body. This sent fear into the heart of the nobles.
*Whoosh*
Another gust of wind blew by. “kyaaah. Help me!” a woman yelled in fear. But no one could tell where it came from. Archduke Lelouch took a sword from a knight. “Knights! guard his majesty.” He ordered as he held the sword in front of him, ready for a fight. “Help! Help! I Am up here.” A voice echoed from above.
Archduke Lelouch looks up and sees a woman hugging the chandelier. Due to his enhanced senses, Lelouch could see the face of the woman, that was fifty feet in the air. “Countess Watson, how did you get up there?” Lelouch asked while looking up. Shaking with fear as she held tightly onto the chandelier. “I don…don’t know. When I opened my eyes, I was here. Please save me.” she said in a shaky tone.
“Ok. calm down, countess. You would have to trust me. Jump down from there and I’ll catch you. Can you trust me?” Archduke Lelouch asked in a calming tone. But she did not budge. Her husband ran underneath the chandelier and yelled. “It’s okay, Ariadne, you can trust the duke. He’ll catch you. There is nothing to be scared of. right??” he said while looking at the archduke with a crooked smile.
Lelouch could see that the count had placed all his hope in him to save his wife. He looked into the count’s eyes. “I’ll save her,” he said, reassuring the count. Lelouch released his aura and covered his hands with them. This way, it can neutralize the force from the fall. He stood under the chandelier with both arms stretched forward and his feet planted on the ground. “Countess on the count of three, let go, nod if you understand?” he said.
She nods yes.
“Ok. one… two… three!” Countess Watson lets go and fell. While she was falling, a gust of wind passed by and caused Lelouch’s vision to be blocked. After the wind passed, he looked up and saw red. Countess Watson had been split into pieces in mid-air. her guts and blood fell onto her husband and Archduke Lelouch. Lelouch looked down at his hand; the only thing he could catch was her severed head.
Covered in his wife’s blood, count Waston broke down. “No-no-no-nooo… Ariadne can’t be dead… the Archduke will save her,” he said while picking her pieces off the floor. Lelouch saw that the count had gone insane due to the shock. He dropped her head to the ground and brought out his sword. “Come out and face me, you witch. I said I would save her, and you dare to kill her. I’ll wet this blade with your blood.”
“Hoo. how scary. Men of the great Thorka empire. Scared! of one woman. Ha hahaha.” Aria’s evil laughter echoed throughout the hall, spreading fear and panic.
Lelouch tried tracking Aria’s location through her voice, but she was moving too fast to track. As a third-class aura user, this was the first time Lelouch has ever fought with someone so fast he can’t track them with any of his enhanced senses.
Aria spoke from different directions all at once. “My father trusted the Thorka empire till the end. He said you would protect us. But what did you do when Giggadon empire attacked your allies? Nothing. You did nothing like cowards. Well, it doesn’t matter anymore, 'cause with the power I possess I’ll do something.”
*Whoosh*
“Hrrrk… wait… knights… help.” The emperor yelled silently, gasping for air on his throne. as Aria was choking him with her right hand. “What a surprise. I thought the emperor of the ‘Great’ Thorka empire was strong, but he turned out to be a weak, old, dying man.” It was Aria’s first time seeing the emperor’s face. Because the throne was so high you could only see his feet. She leaned in and whispered to the emperor, who was running out of breath. “The men who tried to force themselves on me must die,” she said with an evil smile on her face.
“Save the emperor!” Lelouch yelled while running towards the throne. The three knights guiding the step leading to the throne dashed toward Aria with their swords drawn.
“You are too slow,” Aria said. As she ripped the emperor’s head and spine out of his body. She was moving so fast that it seemed as if time had stopped. Aria used the emperor’s spine as a sword and beheaded the first knight. She moved towards the second knight and split him in half, then threw the spine at the third knight piercing through his skull. It only took her five seconds to kill four people.
“Noooo!” Lelouch yelled in rage.
A deafening whistling sound echoed, as Lelouch and Aria sliced through the air at an incredible speed, before clashing.*Clang! *“What!” Lelouch can not believe his eyes. A human hand blocked his sword covered in aura. As a third-class aura user. He could cut through a Mythril armor with ease. But to his surprise, a human body could defend against his strike.This is impossible. He thought in his mind while he gazed at Aria’s hands.While staring, he noticed something. There was a layer of blood protecting her hands. It was a similar technique to aura coating. A technique aura users use to strengthen their weapons. “So… that’s what’s going on,” he said with his gaze locked on Aria.Lelouch frowned, and placed his left foot in front, planting it firmly onto the ground as he held his sword above his head with his right hand and sliced down the middle with full force.“Your attacks can’t hurt me,” Aria said with confidence as she concentrated her blood on her right-hand palm to block th
“Hmph… Disgusting pervert. I have never seen a woman have such thoughts toward other women.” Ella spoke while staring at Helena with disgust.Ella’s words shocked Helena. “What! Did you just say you could read my thoughts?” Once’s thought is like a safe, it’s where you hide the things important to you. For some, they hide their money, some hide jewelry, and some people hide their intense love for big boobs. So, someone having access to your safe without your permission is dangerous.“Of course, I can read them when they leak out every time through mind communication. Even though you can talk now, you still use the system’s mind communication function to talk to me when you could just talk normally.” Ella complained.While fondling Nora’s boobs, Helena replied, “How can I talk to you normally when no one else can see you? If anyone saw me talking to the air, I might get burnt on the stake for being a witch. Do you want to see me burn?” Helena asked.Ella cocked her head to the right. “
“Your highness, what dress would you be wearing?” Nora asked as she opened the wardrobe. The wardrobe had different types of dresses in a variety of colors. They were dresses made by Jolene Avilon, the best designer in the Empire. each of her works is sought after by all the noble ladies in the capital. Any noble lady that wears an Avilon product is respected in high society. But not anyone can wear them because a dress in avilon cost one million Veru (Gold). Which is higher than the amount of money some nobles earn from their territory in a year. Only someone from the royal, Dukes', and marquess families could afford them. Nora could not help but stare at the dresses. Helena looks at the dresses while she was in the bathtub. “Hmmm… pick the white plain one.” She said. Helena’s words snapped Nora out of her greedy thoughts. “Ah… yes, the white one. Hmmm…, your Highness, this dress does not have any jewelry on it. Are you sure you want to wear this?” Nora asked with a concerned tone
Valkyrie Garden“Huff… Huff… Huff. I think am… going to die if I keep running…Huff. System. how much time do I have left?” Helena asked while running in the garden. She was exhausted and sweating, and her beautiful white dress was no longer white, it had brown and green stains on it. Helena thought the mission she got from the system was a newbie mission and it would be easy to complete, but she underestimated the mission.*Ding! *System Notification!XThe host has three more minutes until the mission is complete.“Huff… I can do this!!” Helena yelled. This was her second attempt at completing the mission. Who would have thought that the mission had a hidden condition. and it was a ridiculous one at that.------Thirty minutes ago, ------“Your highness I don’t think, it’s a good idea to run in the garden. Wha… what if you fall while you running and hurt yourself? I wouldn’t know what to say to the Head maid if you got hurt.” Nora complained. Nora was afraid that if the princess got
Valkyrie garden“Woah… an angel.” Helena was surprised at how beautiful the child in front of her was. She had long, flowing silver hair, red eyes, and naturally beautiful long eyelashes. The girl lay on the ground with the back of her left hand touching her forehead. “Pffft…” Helena smiled while staring at her because she reminded her of the princess in movies she had watched in her previous life.While the girls’ beauty fascinated Helena, the redhead maid walks up to Helena with an angry face. She raised her left hand and swung it to slap Helena but was interrupted by Nora, who jumped in front of Helena and block the maid’s hand.“Get out of the way, Nora.” She said.Nora ignored her and looked at Helena. “Your highness, are you alright?” She asked in a worried tone.Nora's actions surprised Helena. Even after I said all those mean things to you, you still tried to protect me. I Am so sorry, Nora. Helena thought in her mind while she stared at Nora, who was concerned about her. Thou
Two days laterHelena’s roomIt’s been two days since the incident in the garden. And Helena had learned a lot in those two days. She learnt the truth about her eye color, and why she was called a slave because of them.-------- flashback--------Gaia Forest. A massive forest that is located in the Western part of the continent. It shares borders with the North and South Empires. It’s also the home of the most beautiful creatures in the world. Elves. Known as the longest-living race, they have a similar body structure to humans, but with distinctive features.They possess longer ears and beautiful purple eyes that shone like diamonds. They are also a race of warriors who protect Gaia. The mother tree, in the center of the forest, gives the Elves tremendous power, which they use to create a barrier that protects the forests from intruders. But it did not stop the elves from going out, which meant once they left the forest, they had no hope of coming back. Therefore, a rule which preve

—------------ Three months later—---------------Giggadon empireRoyal palaceThe Seventh moon had dawned on the Giggadon empire. Bringing about cold and snow, Winter had begun.Inside the council hall, stood a large circular stone table in the middle of the room. It was crafted out of the most precious obsidian stones found in the empire, by the best stonemasons. The chairs that circled the table were made of fine mahogany wood, but one chair looked different from the rest. It’s made with cider wood; its rails were dyed gold, and the slip seat and splat had the royal family logo designed on them.At the four corners of the council hall, stood large pillars that had one beast claw sticking out of each of them. The claws held a round crystal that produced light. And lastly, in the middle of the hall above the table was a statue of a beast with large wings, sharp claws, and fire spewing out of its mouth. It was carved into the ceiling by the best stonemasons at the first emperor’s order
