The Timorous Prince Becomes A Fierce Princess

Ziro's feet slightly took a step back when she saw that inexplicable and horrifying face. Long pointed ears, ripped mouth extended onto its earlobes, gnashing sharp shark teeth covered with crimson liquid, bulging yellow eyeballs with brilliant ruby pupils, and its hairless head… such disgusting figure!

'That! No way! Isn't that sigbin?!'

She couldn't believe her eyes. But yes, it was actually sigbin, a jar monster. In her previous life, her grandmother used to tell her about these bloody beasts. Some of them were basically human at first but they were caught and trapped in a mysterious jar until they turned into this deer-sized devil, more of a Tasmanian devil. However, some of them were born inside the jar and were raised by their kind. Moreover, in this world, all sigbins were considered to be mid-tier beasts! Compared to Ziro who was a cripple, she would only be a snack for this minute monster.

'G-grandma was telling the truth! They were real!'

It took a second for Ziro to notice its inched black nails on its long skinny fingers which held a corroded dagger covered by blood.

It stench!!!

In a swift, Ziro briskly leaped backwards and raised her hand towards her face which made her white robe danced to her graceful movement. Her dazzling snow robe covered her nose as though it was made to be a maiden veil. But no good, its fowl stench still lingered on her nostrils. It made her dizzy enough to make her vomit. It was like thousand rotten eggs mixed with human fecal wastes plunged into decaying human body filled with worms. Blurg!!

Her eyes went blurry as her ashen face turned pale green. No! She couldn't take it! She stomach felt like a ship in a middle of an ocean whipped by a storm! So dizzy!

She inevitably lowered her left hand holding her weapon when she felt throbbing pain her stomach. Until then she realized…

Slash! Without any strength to react, Ziro found herself being cut on the shoulder by that slicking monster. It was so fast that her eyes couldn't catch up! Her eyes widened when she was caught in a momentum of falling on the gushing ground as though everything turned into slow motion. Her pupils narrowed only to saw beads of blood spattered into thick air.

Thud!

"Gah!" Her back hit the ground hardly until she could only cough blood. Her lungs seemed damaged as she heard an awful crack from her ribcage! Such strong impact!

'F*ck! This body is frailer than a girl!'

She just cursed in her mind. Well, she couldn't blame the young boy for not taking care of this body. Prince Ziro already suffered from multiple humiliations from his family, no wonder his will would be crushed hundredfold. The one that Prince Ziro vented his anger the most was from his Uncle and its Son, Prince Mu, the closest mortal dragon prince on getting the throne from his father.

Ziro couldn't grasp her breath when she floundered to stand. Faster! Faster! With a throbbing internal pain, her heart was tremendously racing. Although she got injured, she tightly gripped her sword size weapon and urged to fight. D*mn you! She was not a scaredy-cat!

Her right hand simply grabbed her cut left shoulder and put pressure on it. Better to keep blood loss into minimum or she might die.

Shhk!

It was back again and was ready to launch another blistering attack.

"Come on!! You stinker! " Feeling agitated, Ziro clenched her teeth and pointed her weapon on that deer-sized monster.

But one thing she forgot about her grandma told her… sigbins' special ability was to turn invisible when they move backwards!

"It…It… It disappeared?!!"

Her eyes popped out when it suddenly vanished. It just stepped one of its feet paced back until its whole body dissolved into murky mist.

"Ah!!" She was still staring at an emptied space when a long swing of dagger immediately sliced her thɨġh. Ziro's knee slumped on the ground as she ġrȯȧnėd in agony.

Without any time to mend her wound, another slash sheathed her other thɨġh until she slumped completely. Pain could be traced from her eyes as it twitched slightly while her teeth were gritting each other. Then another swing of a small knife landed on her right arm, and another one on her smooth face until multiple attacks landed on her frail body. Not long, her small figure already covered with dozens of cuts as she was just helplessly hugged her self and sat on the ground. Sigbin was too fast for her to handle… even with just its invisibility her life was already in grave.

With such repugnance, she cupped her arms tightly and couldn't help but to blame such unfortunate fate of her!

'Why do I have to be so weak?'

On this instant, her previous memories exploded on her mind. That exact moment, those exact words, she remembered all of her hatred, from her stepfather, from her impious stepfamily that killed her mother. Ziro's face suddenly went ugly and her eyes went dark as she just stared the ground blankly. Her heart seemingly retracted extreme beat as though it would rip her ċhėst. Those disgusting stepfamily she got yet she extremely abhorred, how could she forget all of them?!
