Chapter 110 Betrayal
The throne room had all the ornaments and walls painted with black colour or red colour showing how dangerous the attack was, guts and organs were everywhere in the room giving off an unpleasant vibe to the environment.
In midst of all this, Peter and Andrei were exchanging attacks with high speed showing how their leagues are different from everyone in the room,
*Swing
"Not bad for a dirty mouth like yours, kid," Andrei was mocking at the same time seeing how he easily gets affected by the words.
"But, can you block this?" He released a water spell while backing up for a little bit.
Spells needed chanting time but, the damage they did was phenomenal, Andrei being the royal family bloodline had a great mana pool even though it's not great as an S-ranked person.
Andrew is said to be in between A-rank and S-rank but none of them knew because the information about royal families is not that easy to know.
It is obvious that a ruler should at least have a great rank otherwise, he wouldn't be taken seriously by others.
(Firewall)
Peter also chanted a bus fire spell but the effectiveness of Andrei's water spell caused his wall to explode causing him more damage.
"Ugh~ Damn old geezer," He looked at Andrei with pure hatred in his eyes.
"You killed too many of my people, at this point war is inevitable, First I will kill you and then my stupid sister for not doing her job properly," Even though Andrei acted all confident outside, he couldn't help but dread seeing him block his one of the most offensive spell.
"This kid has more mana and a good future, If I let him go now, He will recently come to bite me again, I should kill him here as soon as possible," He thought while dashing at him.
While they were fighting in the middle of the main hall, others didn't stay idle.
All the soldiers of the empire got surrounded by new kingdom soldiers and the whole throne was filled with chaos.
Sometimes people were shouting in pain or anger, they didn't have time to get distracted by their emperor. The win was obviously on the kingdom's side because the kingdom soldiers became heavily outnumbered the moment they stepped into this trap.
"Look at you lying on the floor like the pig you're supposed to be, what can I expect from failure?" Andrei was hoping to get him riled up and it worked with his simple insult.
"Kill you! I will kill you! Old bones," He quickly got up while waving his sword trying to cut off Andrei's head but instead he got countered by him.
*Splash
Blood started to flow from his chest because of the cut he got, Peter's face became disfigured with pain feeling his blood loss,
"How pathetic! So-called emperor," Andrei thought he was winning but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his back. He turned around to see what happened and was surprised to see Duke Ferosa, his most trusted aide penetrating his back with a dagger.
"What the..." He couldn't finish his sentence as Ferosa started to push it deep into his body rotating the danger and casting more pain on him.
Even Peter had his eyes wide open seeing the sight in front of him,
"I'm sorry, my king, but even I have my priorities," He said with a smile while backing down from Andrei.
Peter didn't know what to do, he quickly took his sword back and slashed stunned Andrei deeply causing him even more damage,
*Splurt
Both Peter and Andrei were bleeding from their injuries but for some reason, Andrei felt his body becoming weak,
*Clap *Clap *Clap
"Good work, Ferosa," Peter and Andrei both heard a familiar female voice. It was more other than Andriya's voice.
Duke Ferosa looked stunned but, a smile came onto his face seen the woman standing in front of the blood-filled room,
"Gilmorton, finish these fools," She said looking at the struggling kingdom soldiers.
"Yes, my queen," He bowed and ordered his assassins to finish the remaining soldiers.
They didn't close as it was daytime, and most of them got hit by kunai or arrows. One by one kingdom soldiers started to fall without even knowing how or why they died.
Andriya slowly stepped forward without touching the blood and avoiding all the splattered organs on the floor,
"Hello, my beloved brother," She gave a hearty smile at Andrei, who was lying down on the floor with his eyes open.
She didn't even give a second look at Peter who was no different from Andrei,
"Damn you, aren't you, my mother? Shouldn't you care for me first?" He thought looking at her figure.
"As I promised I came back with a surprise," She quickly helped Andrei to stand up, but to his surprise, he didn't feel his body at all.
"Oh! Are you confused about why you can't use magic or control your body?" Nobody had ever seen her this happy before, Andriya always had a calm or neutral face, so seeing her like this others couldn't help but be surprised.
She helped him to sit on his throne back while being accompanied by Gilmoroton, others were confused about what she was doing but, they didn't know this was just the beginning of misfortune for them.
"You look like you're ready to die, my esteemed brother," Her voice almost sounded mocking.
"But, don't worry, I won't let my brother die so easily," She whispered to him giving chills on his back.
"You're so relaxed, is it me because you let your family escape? So you think someday they will rebel again and take this kingdom back from me?" At her words, Andrei's face started to turn into an ugly one.
Even though he couldn't move his muscles, his face started to show emotions.
"B- b kill," He muttered but Andriya just laughed it off.
"Talk loud, you stinky brother," She hit his head with her fan causing him to cough out blood.
"Well, whatever, let's just begin the real show already," At her words, everybody looked at the throne.
