The Queen Wicked Deeds

Chapter 71 - POV Henry

That day when we were interrogated by that golden fish, and we were trapped in a small room with arms tied, legs tied and a question mark above our heads, well, nothing much happened.

Just a strange battle with some creepy-looking Lexors members wearing black masks with a strange L pattern, they were dressed in black robes and were using white gloves.​​

I cannot figure out what they wanted to achieve, maybe they wanted to scare us. Well, their ridiculous banter did really frighten me, or more like I couldn't believe someone was that brave to wear those clothes.

After a few seconds of inspecting their attire, I saw the magic devices conferred to them by their magician members. Some rings with green stones in their fingers were what they called their ultimate weapon and the symbol of their membership. I guess that thing was given to any Lexors.

How laughable, it was only a stone with a simple enchantment that can discharge an electric charge, not that powerful, but enough to stun a person as self-defense. Should I give one to my dear bride? Anne will very much like to have one to scare people… Maybe, not…

"Take the Princess, knock the three knights from Lith, and take pictures for the forum!"

If ridiculous threats could have a ranking, then that will be one of the top ten.

"James, Ilian!" I shouted when the stupid lads in black robes tried to grab us with their little stones.

However, before they can reach us, something made them fall to the ground and cry in pain. I didn't see who made that at that time, but I can guess now who was behind that. The spy of my dear bride, the golden fish, was not that useless after all.

I never expected that Collin would be a spy, his cruel and sadistic nature would give him the tag of the worst kind of villain. Or so, he made himself look like.

Maybe that is the reason he approached Anne in the first place, just two of a kind. Well, Anne cannot be and will never be compared and partnered to the word villain, at least never in my heart and in those that love her. That may be the whole Academy and the people of Lith. She may not know it, though.

However, we didn't let them. Ilian took his sword and attacked them, James too was helping, and when the leader came upfront, a tall young man with a star on his shoulder. I guess he was Thomas, he appeared with his dark magic enchantment. Well, just before his magic could enter the ring battle, I had to use mine.

"Cover Ilian, James!" I shouted to make James aware of who was the target this time, maybe that indifferent Princess was really the cover, maybe she was the one that called those creepy Lexors. However, she won't get away with that.

"Hahaha, do you think you can stop the inevitable?"

"I don't need to stop it, I am sure I can't," the idiot Thomas had been trying for so long to harm the ones on the Crown. Ilian had been the main target for years, so he had to enter the Academy before anyone. There, at least, there, he will be safe.

"Henry Mills, the first son and the inheritor of the Dukedom of Mills," the young man said with a creepy and arrogant voice. Maybe he could convince his people with that aura of a leader. Well, I am inclined to believe he is someone who will threaten them instead, but if he wants to use it against me, he is wasting time. "Your family, the Duke of Mills from generations ago bowed to serve the Crown, always, without fail, without disobedience, completely loyal to the orders of the true inheritors of the Kingdom of Lith. Am I right?"

"Yes, that is true."

"Then, why are you serving some usurpers, those thieves that stole the throne without remorse so many years ago. They are not the true inheritors. You should not lower your head to serve them, or you will be a…"

"Traitor?"

"Yes," he smiled as if he had enlightened me, "you must understand that they are traitors and for that, they must be punished. I condemned you to hold your vow, your household vow, to the true inheritors of the Crown."

"You must be crazy," that was my response to a crazy man that finally had lost it. "The King of Lith was chosen for its merits and by the former King… you cannot be thinking that it is your turn now, right?"

He narrowed his eyes and I could see his green ring prepared to shoot an attack.

"Don't deceive yourself with useless thoughts of power, you will never win," my hand prepared my sword and the spell on my hand.

However, before any attack could take place and after James and Ilian had sent many of those black knights youngsters to the wall unconscious. Another wave of knights appeared, this time, they were real ȧssassins.

"Then… as I can see that your loyalty is already broken, and you had chosen your side, I will have to… make you disappear."

With a flick of his hands, the wave of attackers came running towards us. I put myself in front of Ilian and James too was by my side. However, just before an inch of their swords could reach us… what I had been expecting the whole night happen.

Moria and her disciples. They were also wearing black clothes and black masks, is that some kind of trend? Moira made a signal and the battle started again, they were quite equal in skills and powers. However, the bunch of mȧturė men that came from Thomas's side were battling a group of teenagers from Moira's side. It would be incredible to see how those young knights will mȧturė in the future, they may even be comparable to my own secret knights.

"Kills them!" the frenetic shout from Thomas sounded like a desperate wail. He was certainly stopping thinking, and some craziness came to the light.

Some time ago, my father told me about the Duke of Eylos, Thomas's father. He was a great leader, smart and brave, but… my father also knew that the Duke was hiding something, crazy ideas of conquering and greed for more.

"Useless!" Thomas shouted again and from his ring, he summoned a strange animal. Fierce with long fangs and claws, and red eyes filled with hunger. "Kill the Crown Prince!"

The creature moved fast towards us… "Ilian!" I shouted and stood in front of Ilian, then I prepared my sword to stab that thing… however, again, as always and with a big entrance, something unexpected happened.

"ROAR!"

The battle was not that long when the roar of a cat, a majestic, insanely big black cat appeared and on top of it, a beautiful girl with red hair and golden eyes. She was hiding her identity with a white mask filled with gems and a symbol of an A on the cheek.

"…" I could not let my expression reveal the strange sentiment growing inside me. It was laughter and helplessness.

"Stop right there, you crazy psycho!" she shouted, and the animal that was about to attack us simply disappeared after seeing the big cat roaring at it. "Now, you had done it!"

Anne shouted and with a flick of her hand, a bottle with a blue liquid appeared. How did she do that? Well, she had been practicing for a whole month.

"Now, you will learn what is torture, and what is laugh."

She launched the bottle to Moira and she, with a high jump and fast speed, reached the body of Thomas.

The ȧssessing had long lost the battle, and no one was left to help that masked idiot. He even began to scream like a coward.

"Don't come near me, you repulsive demon!"

'Open your mouth,' Moira signaled, but before Thomas could even say another word, Moira had already pushed him to the ground with a knee on his ċhėst about to send that blue liquid to his throat. 'Taste the Cure of Sadness.'

She said, and poured the whole liquid into his mouth. Not many seconds later, a burst of compulsive laughter came from behind that creepy mouth.

Anne came down and looked at the boy for some seconds, before she whispered, "I think... I think the wizard told that it was enough with two or three drops... what should we do now?"

"..."

At first, I can't understand what was Anne trying to achieve, why would she create an excuse for people to be gravely ill when they were cured by Wizard Druon and Rose? Why would she make us accompany that Princess Morgan and then escort her forcefully through hypnotism to an inn?

At first, I thought she wanted to fight that girl, as a part of a revenge plan, but that proved to be wrong. However, just where that Princess went? Nobody saw her leaving.
