The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

The housekeeper held the note in his palm and then ran out of the room in a panic, leaving the room filled with morning light and the burnt-out stove.

9) The Princess' Shadow (Part 3)

Lion's Den - Upper Town - La Vatino

......

The hall was covered with scarlet carpets, as if stained with blood. The crystal chandelier on the dome was like the broken moon outside the window, filling the hall with bright light as much as possible.

Besides lights, what else is bright?

In the hall, led by Leon Kelast, a group of members of the [Sharp Knife Lion] family lined up on both sides. The two rows stood on both sides of the carpet, with dangerous electric lights wrapped around the electric batons in their hands.

Leon took out his pocket watch. It was already the deadline for the delivery of Pure White Fireworks. If she didn't come, Leon would lead this most elite force to attack the courtyard fiercely, forcing everyone in the old city to come out to protect the people of the kingdom they cherished.

Kindness is their weakness. Their kindness will turn into a sharp blade raised by the executioner, chopping at those defenseless innocent lives.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Leon gradually became impatient. He had prepared many programs for tonight, and if the princess of the kingdom was not captured, then tonight would be doomed to be a disappointment.

The princess of the kingdom, Leon licked his tongue, what would it taste like?

At this moment, the door opened, and Grace ran in breathlessly. He ran to Leon and bowed:

"Godfather, they are coming."

Upon hearing this news, Leon's mouth twisted into an evil smile. He waved his hand and told Grace:

"Let them in."

Not long after, escorted by a group of thugs, Perlis and Pess escorted a figure with a sack over her head into the hall. The prisoner's hands were tied behind her back, and she looked extremely embarrassed. Her clothes were not luxurious, but Leon still recognized the identity of the visitor from the few strands of light green hair that could be seen through the sack.

Presumably, she must be Ashlia Yard Pershipense.

When they were close to Leon, the two executioners stepped forward and held out their hands to Perlis and Pess, asking for their weapons. Perlis reluctantly handed her butterfly knife to the executioner, while Pess calmly handed over his axe. After the weapons were taken away, the executioner gave way and allowed them to send Eshilia to Leon.

"The princess you want is here," Perlis pushed the prisoner to the ground and looked at Leon calmly, "Where's my ticket?"

"Oh, you're so impatient, [Pure White Fireworks]..."

As Leon spoke, he clapped his hands, and Grace, who was standing behind him, handed over a plate with three gold notes in it:

"Here, [Sharp Knife Lion] never breaks its word, we are a family that keeps its promises," Leon waved his hand, and Grace handed the plate to Perlis, "You can leave whenever you want, take it, now, I want to have fun..."

Perlis took three gold bills from the plate and stepped back. Pace turned his head to look at Perlis, then looked at the three gold bills tightly held in her hand, with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.

The prisoner got up in a panic and knelt on the ground. Leon looked down at her and forced a smile on his fat cheeks:

"Is that you? My dear little princess?"

Leon walked forward, stood in front of the prisoner, grabbed the sack on her head with his hands, and pulled it hard. The prisoner's cheek was exposed, it was an extremely pretty face, the golden eyes and the light green long hair were like a perfect match, setting off the girl's nobility from the inside out.

But unfortunately, the fair face was covered with mud and looked very dirty. Leon clicked his tongue lightly and shook his head.

"It's not easy along the way, isn't it, my dear princess?"

Under Leon's shadow, Ashlia raised her head and looked at him unyieldingly with her golden eyes. There seemed to be a burning fire in those beautiful eyes, which aroused Leon's desire to conquer.

"Where is Ryan? Where is he?" Ashlia said coldly, with no intention of giving in.

"Ah... You're a prisoner, but you're still worried about your damn royal guard?" Leon laughed mockingly and clapped his hands, "Bring him up."

The crowd made way for them, and two thugs came over with a man, forcing him to kneel on the ground. The man raised his head unyieldingly, and when he saw the captured princess, he shouted in astonishment:

“No!!” Ryan roared. He turned around and met the eyes of Perlis and Pace. His brows were tightly locked, and he squeezed out an extremely ferocious scowl. “Traitor!! Damn federals!! Traitor!! Ungrateful bastards, how dare you! You!!”

Pace only dared to glance at the angry Rein: his right hand had been cut off, and it seemed that he could no longer swing the sword. But this was not what made Pace uncomfortable. What really made him uncomfortable was the disbelief in Rein's eyes.

The royal guards believed in them sincerely.

"Don't yell so loudly, Royal Guard," Leon smiled softly, "The real show has just begun."

Leon waved his hand, and the thugs stuffed a piece of sackcloth into Ryan's mouth, forcing him to be quiet. Then, Leon gently lifted Ashlia's chin with one hand, looked at her face, and praised:

"Ah... Princess... the heir of the kingdom... how noble... how beautiful..." Leon licked his tongue with a greedy look, "The child I give birth to... will definitely... inherit your beautiful long hair, right?"

Leon gently stroked Ashlia's hair with one hand, feeling her trembling, and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of satisfaction. He was the [Sharp Knife Lion], powerful, and a natural king. Even the daughter of the former [Attack King] was about to become his prisoner and give birth to his offspring. What a supreme achievement! As long as his offspring inherited the royal bloodline, who would dare to call the [Sharp Knife Lion] a usurper?

Leon Kelast will truly become the king of the kingdom, a true king.

Ryan watched helplessly as Eshilia was touched by Leon, and listened to the dirty words uttered by Leon. He lowered his head almost powerlessly and closed his eyes.

"You will regret this, usurper," Ashilia's body trembled slightly, but her eyes remained unyielding. "You will pay the price for that fire."

“Oh? Princess, are you still thinking about the fire?” Leon laughed triumphantly, “Oh, I almost forgot... Your mother, your cupbearer, and your noble status all turned to ashes on that day, didn’t they? Look, you should have died on that day, then you wouldn’t have fallen to this point today, right? Hahahahaha!”

Leon laughed and clapped his hands. A servant brought a bottle of red sugarcane wine from the side. Leon opened the wine, poured the blood-like wine into the glass, and raised it under the high light:

"Let's celebrate, Princess, for the birth of our first child?" Leon muttered, took a sip, and glanced at Ryan again, "In front of the royal guards?"

After hearing what Leon said, Ryan struggled like crazy, as if he realized what Leon was about to do, and he could no longer maintain even a little bit of rationality. The thug behind him hit Ryan hard on the back, knocking him to the ground, motionless.

Leon drank the glass of wine, poured another one and drank half of it. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked down at Ashlia and muttered softly.

"Oh, I forgot, I should wash your face, right?"

The blood-red wine poured down onto the princess's long light green hair, flowing down her cheeks, washing away the filth on her face. She lowered her head in silence, as if she was bathed in blood, and stared at the ground without saying a word.

"Oh... look..." Leon murmured as he watched Ashilia's face gradually become clearer, "That's it... You are so beautiful... Your face should be..."

The next moment, Leon was stunned. He caught a glimpse of the wine that fell on the ground. The wine was not only blood red, but also stained with some other colors. He glanced up and carefully looked at Ashlia's long hair. He was surprised to find that the long hair began to fade from the moment the wine fell.

Where the hair had completely faded, it was no longer light green, but brown.

"Who are you looking for?"

After being silent for a long time, Ashlia raised her head slightly, her golden eyes staring at Leon angrily. Blood-red wine dripped from her fair face like tears of blood, which looked extremely terrifying under the light of the crystal ceiling.

“How…how…”

Leon muttered as he took two steps back, seemingly not understanding what was happening.

Then, Leon seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly shouted in surprise:

"You...you are!"

"boom--"

Before Leon finished speaking, there was a huge explosion, shaking the windows. All the lights in the hall went out in an instant, and darkness enveloped the hall.

Then, there was the loud sound of a sword being drawn.

......

9) The Princess' Shadow (Part 4)

"Are you sure this plan is reliable?"

Hidden in the grass at the edge of the courtyard, a team leader of the special forces [Stalkers] under the Royal Government Rein stood up from the grass. Behind him were countless soldiers wearing ghillie suits.

"Do you know that guy named Grace? Why should you believe what he says?"

The team leader looked at the butler beside him and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"The note left by the princess asked us to follow that guy's plan," the butler said hesitantly, "So, no matter what, we still..."

"What a bullshit plan! I'm afraid this is a trap," the captain sighed. "Lord Ryan's last order was to stay in the old city. We..."

However, before he could finish, a loud noise came from a distance.

Then there was a violent roar.

"boom--"

Everyone turned towards the source of the sound as if they were facing a great enemy, but were shocked to find that it was the sentry tower that was emitting an intense blue light.

"Rumble--"

The strong azure factor rays were shot into the sky from the guidance prism of the sentry tower, spraying a layer of light cold tone on the dark sky.

"This..." The captain looked at the sentry tower in front of him in disbelief, "How..."

The sentry tower continued to spray for more than ten seconds. As the blue beam of light pierced the black cloud, the lights in the upper city began to gradually go out. When the blue light of the sentry tower finally dissipated, the upper city had fallen into complete darkness.

"That guy named Grace...his plan is correct..." Looking at the dark upper city, the butler murmured in a low voice, "We..."

Before he could finish, a loud roar interrupted him:

"Take the Morning Star as your guide (Wang Guoyu)!"

The captain who had been complaining all the time suddenly became excited. He drew the scimitar from his waist and roared loudly. Behind him, countless soldiers of the royal government also drew their swords at the same time, responding to his call.

“Attack!!”

In the darkness, the royal government's soldiers rushed to the upper city defense line, which was panicked by the sudden power outage, and launched the kingdom's general offensive.

......

It's now!

At the moment of darkness, Pace suddenly pulled out the cold steel knife hidden in his side pocket - this cold steel knife given to him by Ryan had been hidden by him from the very beginning and was not searched away by Leon's thugs at all.

"bass--"

The blade was unsheathed, and taking advantage of the memory before the darkness fell, Pace slashed directly at the position he had memorized before -

"Ahhhhh!!"

Screaming, as expected. Pace cut the weapon keeper's throat, snatched Perlis's butterfly knife from his hand cleanly, and then turned around and threw it towards Perlis's position.

"Little princess! Go on!"

Pace responded with a soft sigh, and then there was a flash of blood.

"Zizzi."

The moment the butterfly knife was held by Perlis, the blood-red strong factor burst out. Perlis held the butterfly knife tightly, flicked it lightly, held the blade in reverse, and half-hid the blood-red light in her sleeves.

"Rest in peace...soul."

"Zizzizi..."

Countless light blue dots suddenly lit up in the darkness - as early as when Perlis entered the hall, Carly remotely controlled the nano drones to attach to each of the thugs. In this way, when darkness fell, Perlis could find the location of each of them.

What followed was a brutal massacre in the darkness.

"Ahhh!"

"Uhhhhhhh!!"

Just a few seconds after the darkness fell, screams began to rise and fall in the hall. The thugs seemed to have no idea what was happening, and they just started fighting in a panic. They couldn't find the enemy's position at all, and some idiots even attacked the lights in the darkness. It was not until their companions screamed that they realized they had hit their own troops.

Perlis and Pes were like ghosts lurking in the darkness, launching the most accurate attacks from the shadows. With the blessing of the "Fighting God" giant armor, Pes' efficiency in killing the thugs was even better than that of the weak Perlis, and he easily cleared a path for her in the crowd.

"bass--"

The potential energy flashed by, and Perlis panted as she moved through the gaps between the thugs. In just a few steps, she reached Ashilya's side and used a butterfly knife to break her restraints.

"Go quickly."

Perlis patted Ashilia's shoulder, and the latter immediately stood up and pulled out a dagger from her calf.

Darkness, darkness is the best battlefield for shadow.

Ashilia entered the darkness with light steps. She ignored any thugs and rushed straight to where Ryan was before.

However, when she arrived there, she did not find Rein at all. Ashiliya opened her eyes wide and searched in the darkness, but she only saw a pool of blood on the ground and a long bloodstain.

Ruiyin... could he be...

Ashlia frowned, and used her excellent eyesight, which she had honed from years of working in the alleys, to follow the blood trail like a hunting wolf.

On the other side, Pace was using a cold steel knife to kill the thugs who were trying to gather towards Leon one by one. Perhaps because of his experience in the [Shura Field], he swung the blade with an extremely sharp and decisive speed, like a ruthless executioner.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Ah!"

“From where…Aaaaah!”

A faint layer of blood frost formed on the surface of the cold steel knife. The bonus of "Fighting God" made Pace's already improved strength even more powerful. Almost every knife could directly cut through the thugs' armor and hit their vital points.

"Ahhhhh!!"
