Chapter 13 - 11: Sagacious Assumptions and Speculations (1) (2/2)
Dmitri clenched his teeth as his right hand started trembling, just a little bit more or his veins might explode.
”You leave me no choice...”
He quickly raised his left hand occupied by the scabbard, and with a long blew of his breath.
”Come! Lucere!”
Zzzzzzttttt!!!!
At instant, a greenish orb suddenly popped out above Dmitri and shot a deafening light beam towards the mantis.
That very moment, mantis screeched and quickly pulled out its razor claws and glidely retreated to avoid the retracting condensed beam.
Piercing boom blasted each time the orb fired its light laser.
”Don't let it escape!”
Dmitri crisply commanded.
This time, Ziro's worried expression suddenly changed, as her mouth couldn't stop from gaping.
Amusement filled her eyes once she saw that bubbly orb dancing up in air as though it wasn't deadly at all.
'So this is a summoned Contracted Beast. It's cute.'
But beyond her astonishment, her eyes suddenly blinked when a familiar faint gushes of wind ċȧrėssed her face.
Shhkk!!
”...! Dmitri, behind you!!!”
Ziro crowed and immediately stood on her feet.
Because of that, Dmitri's figure suddenly flinched, and without a trace of hesitation, swiftly brushed his foot back and with a turn of his waist, lashed his sword at a great force.
But...
'Eh? Behind me? Was he joking around?'
...creases formed on his forehead when he cut nothing behind. Once checked, his eyes only laid nothing but a dust cloud swirling beneath his sword.
”...on your left!!”
Ziro's voice quickly plunged in Dmitri's ears.
At instant, Dmitri pulled his arm back, fully concentrating his energy on his sword, and then scorching flame immediately swallowed the blade up to its tip. In no time, Dmitri let out a dragging grunt when he made an explementary turn and thrashed his arm towards his left.
The ground trembled and reduced to pebbles as it was ignited with an explosion. However, Dmitri's sword felt no flesh at all.
'You've got to be kidding me.'
”There's nothing here, Your Highness.”
With that, he threw a glance towards Ziro, only to see him unguardedly standing feet away from the spirit stone, while his eyes firmly closed.
'What? What's he doing? He would get himself killed!'
Panic welled inside Dmitri's ċhėst as his gaze rolled around for any sneak attacks for the prince.
'Damn it! He is such a pain! I have never expected cripples could be this too careless!'
'Y-your Highness! You shouldn't close your eyes in a f-”
”Shush!”
As irritation slowly biting her being, she accidentally hushed in an officious rift of her voice.
That's primarily because from the moment sigbin concealed its presence, she immediately followed its vortex sheds and was able to track its movement, not until when this Dmitri cried out.
”With all due respect, did you just hush me?”
Anger welled in his ċhėst as his pride couldn't take how this measly cripple young prince just made him an idiot following his orders around while taking his good intention into an irritating noise.
Ziro clamped her lips together as she just raised his chin to plunge into deeper hearing.
With all the loud blast going on behind, Dmitri tensed his jaw and gripped his sword tightly.
”You know what, I'm really disappointed in you, Your Highness.”
”...”
”I actually hoped you'd change my perception towards the royalties given that you are a cripple yourself, I thought you'd understand being powerless... being at the bottom... but I'd just realized regardless of being cripple or not, you... you, nobles are all just the same.”
Feeling all the tension on his trembling voice, Ziro slowly lifted her eyelids and threw her sight towards the swordsman.
Their eyes met.
Clearly, in Dmitri's face was a trace of an absolute resentment.
He just mentioned about the royalties, did he mean those who have first blood lineages? From the blood lineage system, only those who have first blood lineages had the right to become a royalty.
They shall be the one who'll rule each countries of the lower realm, even if they exploit their power or use it in greater good.
She was rather intrigued if who's King Nāga, her new father, from the two options she got? Searching for the former Ziro's memory did not even give a speck of answer.
By that she immediately shrugged that query and pulled her mind back to the current situation.
From this moment, Ziro really wanted to refute all hurtful words Dmitri said, but there was a part of her that makes her not do it, telling her what he felt, might be the same as her loath feeling for her painful past.
Ziro slowly put on a concerned expression. Averting her gaze, a sudden guilt welled inside her heart telling her maybe she might be wrong about Dmitri after all.
Regardless, she must do what she needed to.
”On your right.”
And a calm grief-stricken voice came out of her mouth.
Just right after her, Dmitri immediately scowled. His eyes widened and absolutely filled with annoyance. His temple broke off bulging veins as he could not take such hard-leveled head this crippled prince got. Didn't his words have even reached Ziro's ears?
”You really are - !”
Slash!!!
