Saint?Just a bad woman

She knew that she would never gain the understanding of her father, and the old emperor would never give her the position of heir.

Since she can't be understood and can't normally inherit the position she wants, then just go and grab it.

She believed that she was capable of both governing the country and leading troops to fight.

"I don't need your help or charity, because I am also a person with royal blood. If you can do it, Emperor, I can do it too."

Ruby hated the old emperor's peaceful philosophy very much. She only felt it was hypocritical.And if it hadn't been for the obstruction of the old emperor, the Tolan Empire would have become a more prosperous country.

"War cannot win the support of the people. My daughter..."

"People's hearts? When I was in prison, there were still a few people who remembered that I had shed blood for them, fought for them, and defended their homeland. No... Now in the Tolan Empire, who else remembers Princess Ruby, except mine? Soldier?"

Ruby's words were heart-wrenching, and those who participated in the rebellion with her were the same group of her former soldiers.

Some were old enough to retire, and more often the old emperor wanted to disintegrate Ruby's wings and expelled them from the army without even receiving their pensions.

"And, do you think I will still listen to you? I am your daughter and your sword, but after you kill people with this sharp sword, you just throw it away into the scrap heap for more than ten years. , this sword must never see the light of day again, because the executioner wants to wash his hands in a golden basin, and it has been abandoned.

Do you still want me to continue to be obedient and do what I did more than ten years ago?I tell you, the same thing will never happen a second time, it's absolutely impossible. "

She gritted her teeth and was determined.

"Have you ever thought that I am not just a cold sword, I am also a body of flesh and blood. My heart was once warm, and it beat for this country. But now, it is bruised and bruised. All that's left is hatred. It's you, old man, you personally made me into a sword!"

She walked closer and closer to the throne.

The old emperor was speechless. No matter what he did for the peace of the country, he was not a qualified father after all.

Moreover, the initiative in matters now lies entirely with Ruby. She is too powerful, much more powerful than she was more than ten years ago.

Unknowingly, this daughter has far surpassed him.At least, that's true when it comes to sword and sorcery talent.

"Old man, stand up from the throne and fight me. If you win, I will withdraw my troops and will no longer have any thoughts about the emperor's position."

Her palms were already glowing with black light.

That was black magic, the evil fruit planted by the old emperor himself.

"I'm sorry for you, Ruby...but I have to defeat you again."

His lowered head lifted up, followed by the old emperor's body.

The skin all over his body was wrinkled, and he looked like the broken body of an old man. However, the outline of his former muscle lines could still be seen on the arms exposed outside his clothes.

He picked up the scepter beside him, which was the emperor's scepter and a magic wand.

"I don't need you to say I'm sorry, and I will never forgive you. I didn't say it until now, and I don't need your guilt for a long time. Leave that kind of cheap apology to yourself."

Ruby didn't waver at all, her resistance to apologizing reaching its maximum.

"Bound!"

Green vines shot up from the ground, breaking through the tiles of the palace and rushing directly towards the old emperor.

If Santa Karina were here, she would recognize this vine as something that appeared in the square and in various corners of the city, causing riots.

"Strengthened! Super strengthened! Slash!"

The old emperor used the skills to strengthen his body. His initially loose muscle tissue became strong and his muscle lines became clear.

The bodies of the elderly are strengthened and blessed, becoming more powerful.

"Wind Blade!"

The way he used the scepter to draw the sword forcefully showed that he was also a magic sword master when he was young.

Only those who have mastered magic and swordsmanship can use this melee mage style of play.

"Boom—"

The wind blade connected with the vines, making a loud sound.

There is a magical airflow around the cyan wind blade, which wants to cut off the thick green vines, but it only knocks the vines aside and hits the wall hard without cutting it off.

The palace wall collapsed, leaving a huge gap in the wall.

"Pushing—"

The dust shook like money, and then the vine stood up again.

It looked like a living thing, and the previous attack only made it a little dizzy.

The action as if he had drunk fake wine only lasted a few seconds, and the vines rushed towards the old emperor again.

"Boom."

This time, the vine hit the metal scepter hard.

The quality of the scepter was very good, but it was slightly bent by the huge force.

"Old man, you are already old. You see, you can't resist even my simplest magic, which is just to summon an object to attack. Look how weak you are now, how pitiful and pathetic you are. You are already old. , it’s time to retire, why do you still have to sit in that position?”

A proud smile appeared on Ruby's lips. The man who was unattainable in the past could only act like a real old man now, being bullied by young people but unable to fight back.

There was not only one vine, so the next one, after Ruby finished speaking, slapped the old emperor unceremoniously.

"puff--"

As soon as his throat felt sweet, a large amount of red blood immediately spurted out from the old emperor's mouth.The blood was like blood mist, sprinkled in the air.

The intoxicating red particles made Ruby even more excited.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There were continuous slaps, some of which were blocked by the old emperor, but more of them landed firmly on his old body.

At the age of 66, his injuries are no longer as easy as when he was young. He can simply rest for a while and recover.

Without a healing magician, he would simply be weighed down by his injuries and die quickly.

In fact, the two men's fighting prowess is clear at a glance.The situation was almost one-sided, leaning towards Ruby, but she did not end the fight immediately. Instead, she did so as if she was playing with prey, and as if she was deliberately trying to embarrass the old emperor in front of the ministers.

She prolonged the fighting rhythm and enjoyed it leisurely.

242. Regicide

"Okay, this game should be over. I'm tired of it and don't want to play anymore."

Ruby finally slapped the old emperor to the ground with a vine.

He was dizzy now, his whole body was in pain, and there were bruises all over his body. In fact, in addition to the superficial injuries, he might also have some broken bones.

"Ruby...ahem..."

He was coughing up blood more and more frequently, and his internal organs were irreversibly damaged.

His old and cloudy eyes were filled with pain. In addition to the pain of injury, there was also the pain of failure in educating his daughter.

"Is it painful? Old man."

Ruby walked towards the old emperor step by step.

"What do you think I'm thinking about? I'm thinking that you, the one who judges me from above, are still here today. You look so embarrassed now, it's really funny."

"farewell……"

A sharp blade appeared in the palm of her hand. It was a sharp blade formed by magic. Black light penetrated the old emperor's chest.

Everything was over, bright red blood stained the skirt of his clothes, and a large amount of blood penetrated from the back and sprayed on the ground.

Her expression did not fluctuate, she was still looking at the old emperor quietly, but it became ferocious and crazy.

She couldn't describe the feeling of killing her father with her own hands.

"Ruby..."

The old emperor looked at his daughter's face, which was gradually distorted by hatred and became unfamiliar, and raised his hand tremblingly.

He felt that his body was becoming cold, his limbs were becoming numb, and he was increasingly losing awareness and control of his body.

He knew that his end was coming, and he should die here today.He suddenly felt relieved, because no matter how painful his heart was, it was punishment for him.

"My daughter, you have grown up...although, I am a failed father."

His hand touched Ruby's face.

Ruby could have ducked or swatted his hand away, but she didn't, for reasons she didn't quite understand.

The hand was quite old, with wrinkled skin, and some scars from fighting in his youth, as well as calluses from holding weapons all year round.

He is indeed not a qualified father, whether it is to Ruby, Curtis, or other children.But he is a qualified king. When he governed, the people were not ravaged by the iron hoofs of the demons. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

He exchanged war for more than ten years of peace, and there should have been more peace.

"I know you will not forgive me, and I will not ask you to call me father again, but... I would like to ask you to agree to my request. After becoming the emperor, treat other brothers and sisters well..."

"I don't like killing people that much."

As long as she didn't jump out to resist her, Ruby had no interest in playing mouse hunting.

"thanks……"

After the old emperor said these words, his hand slipped down, leaving a blood mark on Ruby's face.

He knew that his daughter was not like him and didn't like to lie.

He was so tired that he closed his eyes and never spoke again.

The old emperor fell into a pool of blood, completely dead.

"Old man, after I killed you, I didn't feel very relaxed. Instead, I had mixed feelings. Although I really want to ask you why and let you get up and fall back to sleep, I know that this is impossible."

Black magic can indeed bring the dead back to life.But the person who was resurrected was not the person he was before, but just a corpse with memories of his life.

This kind of resurrection is different from St. Carolina's reincarnation after death. Hers was a real resurrection. She had flesh and blood, her blood was hot, and her heart was beating.

The Resurrection of Black Magic.At best, it's just a memory and body manipulation technique.The only one who can resurrect the dead is God.

"Are you kidding me? You are a regicide, and you killed your own biological father. Who will recognize you?"

"We will not recognize you as the new emperor. You are no longer a member of the royal family and have no qualifications to be the heir!"

"Such cruel and cold-blooded, I would rather resign and return home than do anything for you!"

……

Names such as "devil", "executioner", and "ruthless" were all cursed by the courtiers who watched the scene after the magic shackles were released.

They looked at the fate of the old emperor, and even though they were afraid, they were even more angry.

This woman killed their monarch in front of them. She simply deliberately put their faces on the ground and trampled them wantonly.

And if such a person is allowed to be the emperor, what kind of emperor can she be?Tyrant?What good will happen to the tyrant's ministers?

"It's really noisy."

Hearing the curses of these people, Ruby finally knew what the void in her heart was.

She gained this country, sat on this throne, and killed the people she hated, but there was no one with whom she could share her victory.

Subordinates can't do it. She must maintain dignity in front of her subordinates, and what she wants is someone close to her.

"Don't want to be loyal to me? Haha, it's really ridiculous. Do you think I need people like you that the old man has used? I don't need second-hand goods."

With a firm squeeze of his hand, all the heads of the courtiers exploded.

She planted the seeds in these people early on, and after the drama ended, Ruby had no intention of leaving anyone alive.

She's not afraid that things here will spread, which doesn't matter at all. She just wants to make this country more chaotic. What she wants to see is the collapse of all existing political institutions.

As long as the country is in chaos, she can ascend to the throne more smoothly.

Those militant factions have been hooking up with her for a long time. They are eagles. The dove factions that these old men like are simply a stumbling block in the way. If they are killed, they will be killed.

"By the way, Curtis... I still have a sister. As long as I find her, someone will share my joy, right?"

She smiled, which was different from the sarcastic smile before. It was like the melting ice and snow, a smile for the meeting of relatives.

Unlike her bastard father, her sister is so healing and lovely, and will definitely support her and be willing to return to her.

"Have you found Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

In the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, Ruby asked about the palace where she seemed to be alone.

The space began to distort, the air rippled, and then a figure came out.
