Chapter 1805 King Of Bearling -Part 43

?

As planned, Yinn was the first to enter the second basement and with her invisibility cloak as well as the hovering module, there was nothing to worry about. She slowly but surely passed through via the ceilings of the basement and she already saw silhouettes of the Royal Assassins standing by at the certain crevices of the basement.

It was as if the entire Bearling Palace had been built in such a way that the Royal Assassins and Guards had places they could hide and ambush their enemies. Surely, this was probably due to the fact that people had been invading the Empire multiple times that such a defensive feature had been installed.

Of course, it would be a dual edged sword for the people working there too since if people can hide in a defensive battle, enemies too can do the same. Yet, if they had continued to keep this meant that it had been effective for the Royal Assassins and guards for centuries that they maintained it that way. 

However, in this particular case, Yin floated slowly as close to the ceiling as possible, reducing the risk of detection when all their eyes were on the entrance, thinking people would come. This was made more impactful when Jin purposely asked Click to place a few loud but nonlethal explosives in the first basement. 

This caused the distraction needed for the assassins to be even more on guard and not check where they were not supposed to be. This definitely made her trip towards the so called torture chamber a walk in the park. Yinn had also identified the laser web mounts that had been placed along the palace's basement and she also noticed that there were a few near the ceilings as well. They were placed in places where they had expected the enemies to jump when they did not notice it. 

Therefore, a few of them were activated to show the threat it can pose but quite a number of them were on standby mode so that they could not be seen by the enemy when their attention and focus was to get out of the mess. Yet, with Yinn's trip through the second basement, all of those had already been updated within the System so that when the rest came in to save the kids, it would be taken note of.

When Yinn turned the corner to see the room, she was rather surprised that it was opened and the security in that area was lax compared to what she had seen when she came into the basement. It was then she saw from a distance that the Queen was attempting to soothe the kids as if they were in the same precarious situation as she was.

She was not being forceful against the kids as they had already crowded around her to sleep and Yinn decided to move in to take a proper look before executing the Queen. It was then she noticed that one of the kids was crying beside the Queen. 

"I want my mommy…" The girl sniffed and teared but the Queen rolled her eyes for a moment before she got into her acting mode to comfort the little girl.

"I am sorry to hear that but your mommy had gone to protect me from the baddies. She would be here soon enough to get you back?"

"But I heard a lot of boom noises. What happens if mommy does not come back and the bad guys are here?" The girl asked and it had become obvious the Queen's patience was running thin. She thought that she had managed to keep these kids under control but she had forgotten how their attention span was as short as a ticking fuse.

"Just sleep for now and not think. Your mommy will come back tomorrow morning." 

"Will you leave us here?" Another kid around her said but she did not know who was it.

"No, I will not. If we leave, we will leave as one, alright?" Thessalia comforted them and the kids did not know that what she said was a death flag for all of them. The rest of the Grey Bear Squad and Jin heard it, and the more they heard how she tried to comfort them, the more they felt restless. Thankfully, the person who was doing all the infiltration was not affected by these conversations as she had successfully entered the room without anybody noticing her.

"Room is all clear. There's a total of twenty kids in the room." Yinn said via the System Channel as she slowly hovered and crawled up to the ceiling of the captives' room. "Ready to commence execution anytime, Jin once again, you sure you do not want to capture her alive? I have a non lethal bullet that will knock her out cold for the entire duration. Killing her would not stop the assassins from attacking us either unless they see a complete failure of their mission."

"Having not to kill her will allow her to suffer for the rest of her life including after the early Armageddon that you had made." Page also offered the same sentiments. "Besides, you need a scapegoat for all the hate and grief especially after all the damage those Mecha Dragons had done. To see the Queen to be served justice from the angry mob would definitely benefit the Archduke's rule and strengthen their resolve to serve for him." 

"What do the others think?" Jin asked one last time but Click, Diaz and Tellie believed that killing was easier. Less work not just for the them, its less messy too. 

The only other person who rejected was Lynn. "If you kill them right in front of the kids, you not only traumatised them but also because it will generate hatred for you as the new King or maybe the Archduke who would rule on your behalf.  Some might even be paralysed with fear because of the cold blooded murder you did." 

"…Fine. Non lethal."
