True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 10 Ice Princess Of Bersa (Edited)

?Gilmorton suddenly took a defensive with his dagger to avoid the incoming ice pillars. Other assassins also dodged the ice pillars but few of them got hit by pillars.

"Delvi, hold Velian for me, no matter what happens, don't come out of the carriage ok baby?" Daphnia said leaving the carriage.

"So your highness wants to put a futile struggle, well it doesn't matter with me I also wanted to fight the so-called Ice Princess of the Bersa Dukedom," Gilmorton said while getting ready to attack the Daphnia.

His main objective was not the queen, it was Velian so he planned to be the bait and let C rank assassin attack the children since he is also A-rank, it was not easy to injure Daphnia.

(Shadow Step)

Gilmorton chanted and disappeared from his spot and appeared near the Daphnia.

(Cryogen wall)

As she said that a small ice wall appeared near her blocking Gilmorton's attack, and she suddenly threw another ice pillar toward the other assassin who was aiming at the carriage.

"Impressive, so you can hold out against an A and C rank while protecting children," Gilmorton was surprised, even though she was facing his attack she still managed to see the assassin getting close to the carriage.

"Now this is troublesome, Prince told us to bring her alive, but it's nearly impossible," Gilmorton thought inwardly.

(Aqua Buckshot)

While Gilmorton was busy thinking about all these things, Daphnia took the offensive and attacked both assassins.

(Aqua Buckshot- Water element magic skill which has a wide range with high-speed water bullets)

Gilmorton ran toward the carriage dodging all the attacks while the C-rank assassin tried to attack Daphnia but both of them failed.

"Princess, if you come out and come with us we will spare your brother and mother, We have two more assassins ready to attack your mother, so she can't win. Come out and surrender, then we will not harm your mother," Gilmorton shouted looking at the carriage.

Daphnia took a few seconds to understand what this man was doing, when she look at the carriage her face went pale.

Velian's POV

It's been a few minutes since the mother left the carriage to fight those assassins. I was in my sister's embrace she was quite scared by this whole incident.

This is the moment I felt how helpless I am in this situation. I can't talk walk or help my family in this situation. I can't blame my sisters for being scared because their mindset is still that of a child. At that moment I heard the voice of a man,

"Princess, if you come out and come with us we will spare your brother and mother. We have two more assassins ready to attack your mother so she can't win. Come out and surrender,"

I knew this man was bluffing because if he can kill mother so quickly, why does he need us to surrender? I wanted to tell my sister not to go but it was too late she left the carriage with me in her embrace.

"Please don't harm mother or brother, I will come with you," She said while crying.

"Delvi, go back to the carriage," Mother shouted, but before she could finish the sentence both of the C-ranked assassins aimed at my sister.

Six daggers came flying at my sister, mother managed to block 4 of them but the other two managed to avoid her defence.

*Whoosh *Whoosh

I calculated the trajectories of them and saw one dagger coming straight at her shoulder, the other one was probably a miss.

"I won't let anyone harm my family again"

"If I die here will they be sad"

"But if one of them were to get injured I won't be able to forgive myself," I thought to myself.

I used all my strength in this baby body and pushed my sister and adjusted the trajectory of the dagger facing me. Dagger went injuring my chest, it was not a fatal injury but I felt strange somehow.

*Silence

"Velii~~" Mother shouted shocked by what happened and seeing me injured.

I wanted to see my big sister Delvi's face, but she was terrified her whole face was a pale white colour.

Big sister Lyra also peeked through the carriage with a frightened look.

"How dare you...How dare you, You assassin garbage," Mother shouted manically then she chanted,

(Freeze Blast)

Ten meters of the whole area was covered with ice, C rank assassin was frozen like a statue only Gilmorton was able to survive that spell.

Normally her spell won't be this powerful but after seeing her child's blood, all she wanted to do was kill these people in front of her and quickly go to her dear son.

Daphnia quickly ran toward the Velian and Delvi. She grabbed both of them and placed them inside the carriage and went to the driving seat and kicked the already dead driver out of the carriage and sat on the driving seat and shouted,

"Lyra, Quickly Clean his injury and tie something tightly around it," She said.

Lyra did as she told with trembling hands. I was still conscious but then I heard Luna's voice,

[Master was poisoned]

[Do you want to acquire Poison Nullification?]

"Of course, do you have to ask whether someone wants Poison nullification when he is poisoned,"

[Understood, Master will enter a hibernating state for 3 hours]

[Master is advised to go to a safe place]

I was sleepy with all the things happening inside my body, I hoped everyone is safe.

I will protect my loved ones no matter what and for those who want to harm them, I will step on them and destroy them. Unlike in my previous world, I won't be alone this time.
