True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 291 Tournament XXI - I Want To Be Selfish

"She is recovering her mana slowly, I gave her some of my purest mana, and it will help her, but for now-"

Velian looked at Daphnaia and like she understood his purpose, she nodded her head without making a huge incident out of it.

"I'm going to question that demon bi-" Velian was about to curse, but seeing Aurora's innocent look, he knew cursing in front of her won't be good.

"I'm going to question her, so please take care of Naomi in my stead," Velian said and left a kiss on her head.

Others looked at him with their eyes showing a concerned look. And suddenly, Daphnia called out Delviny and Juno.

"Go with him, I will take care of this place," She didn't want anything happening, so she thought having support would be a great help to Velian, even though he had everything under control.

Both of them nodded their heads and followed Velian who left the room and walked in a haste in the direction of the prison.

"Veli, I saw that thing trying to invade your body again, how did you stop it?" Delviny asked as she remember her whole body going numb when she saw the same thing happening again, but Velian stopped it before it even entered his hand.

"Oh! You saw it, I burned it with pure man, since my mana level is high, I could use that but I don't think anyone else will be able to resist that,"

Delviny knew if she was the one to get invaded like that, she would definitely be prey waiting to be consumed.

'Can I beat those strange power users? Should I ask for help from Veli?'

If this was old Delviny, she would have walked onto her death without any regrets if it was for her brother, but right now she was selfish.

She wanted to live with him instead of dying, she wanted to see what their kids will look like in future.

"Can I be selfish?"She muttered under her breath, which didn't go unheard by Velian, who had extraordinary hearing.

"You can! All of you can be selfish! I will be selfish always, I will take whatever I want even if I have to sacrifice this whole kingdom, I don't think it's bad to be selfish,"

Velian answered her while ordering the guards that were near the entrance of the first security layer to open the door.

"Then Brother, I don't want to fight a battle that I don't have confidence that I'm going to win, I know this will wound my prove as a warrior, bit more than that I want to live with all of you instead of eating my life to an uncertain battle,"

Juno laughed nesting her words because this is the first time that prideful Delviny backed down from a war.

"Haha~ looks like you are opening up a little instead of always keeping that tough outlook," She said and grabbed Velian's hand.

"Then I will be selfish too, I want everyone in our family to live a long life, I want to see our family grow,"

It was beastkin instinct that acted as most of the beastkin mated not for sexual pleasure, more than that they wanted to spread their kind.

They valued increasing their family more than anything, so her instinct screamed to get impregnated by him.

"Will do," Velian said while patting Juno's head and looking at his sister.

"I had no intention of letting you fight in the first place, I'm in a haste because I'm going to find everything about this strange power, even if have to remove organ by organ,"

While talking they passed all the security levels and managed to enter the new prison, which is specially built for individuals with strange power.

As they were granted entry into the prison, they were led to a small, dimly lit room. In the centre sat Hannah, her hands and feet bound, her eyes downcast and her whole body full of wounds.

Velian didn't even bother to heal her since he knew bringing a normal healer close to her would be a problem.

Her fiery eyes glared at them with a mix of hatred and fury and her demonic peers tried to activate but she couldn't because the room was filled with Velian's mana, which he stored in small mana stones.

The room acted as a humidifier, as it slowly and gently released his mana into the room making everyone else vulnerable to his mana.

"What do you want?" Hannah snarled, her voice dripping with venom. "You come to gloat? To watch me suffer?"

"Huh? Why would I watch you suffer, I'm here to kill you, since you're no use to us," Velian said in a serious tone, but he was trying to intimidate her.

"Same shrewd bastard as always! Do you think I will fall for your bluffs?" She shouted, but her throat started hurting as the Velian's mana affected her.

"Same? Bastard? Wait! Do I know you," Velian took a closer look, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't remember someone that had the same facial features as her.

"Veli! Stop," Delviny shouted seeing her brother entering the room, but he just waved her hand at her.

"Don't worry sister, she's just a weakling, she can't do anything,"

Hannah was sitting in her cell, trying her best to ignore Velian as he entered. She knew what he wanted - information about her connection to him - but she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of an answer.

Velian strode towards her, his piercing eyes fixed on her. "I'll ask you one more time," he growled. "How do you know me?"

Hannah didn't look up. "I've already told you, I don't know you," she replied, her voice shaking with fear.

Velian's expression turned dark, and he moved closer, his hand outstretched towards her head. "You know more than you're letting on," he hissed.

"And I won't hesitate to use force to make you talk. You know, I'm a man who won't hesitate to kill a woman if it can benefit me and my family so talk,"

Hannah tried to back away, but there was nowhere to go in the cramped cell. Suddenly, Velian's hand was on her head, his touch cold and terrifying and it felt strange to Hannah. He spoke in a low, menacing voice that sent shivers down her spine.

"You will tell me everything you know," he said, his words echoing in the small space. "Or else."

Hannah couldn't hold it anymore. The fear had overwhelmed her, and she couldn't control her body. She felt a warm, sticky sensation between her legs as she wet herself in terror.

Velian smirked, satisfied with his intimidation tactics.

"That's more like it," he said, stepping back. "Now, let's try this again. How do you know me?"
