Chapter 13 - Becoming the Strongest Faction Overnight (2/2)

This was the power of a Level 38 Master who was 2 Levels away from becoming a Legend, for the first time since he came here, Glaze finally saw a hint of the true strength of the King.

As she came towards him screaming, the King looked at her with a murderous raging look in his eyes, he might have neglected his daughter but he still loved the late Queen, why else would he go against all tradition to marry her.

He took out a giant hammer that hummed with power, this seemed even more terrifying than the one Princess Charlotte had, as he raised it, the sky itself started shattering and reality itself was distorting, the terrifying energy released from the shattering of the sky was concentrated on the hammer, the King then slammed this hammer down on the frozen Karen Aquilia who felt like the entire sky was crashing down on her and could do nothing but regret her fate. How did it come to this? My plan was perfect! she thought in her last moments.

This was the Sky - Shattering Hammer skill, and in the King's hand, it was terrifying, the hammer smashed Varen Aquilia, who was a Level 25 Expert, like smashing an ant, and in a single hit, she turned into just a paste on the floor.

As the King's rage subsided a bit, he sat down on the throne, he then said ” Varen Aquilia and the Aquilia Family committed the most grievous crime against the Kingdom and the Human Realm by attacking the Hero when his guard was down, as such, as the King of Everheart, I take away all the titles, lands and rights of the Aquilia Family ” said the King in a loud voice that reverberated throughout the entire Kingdom and every living soul in Everheart could hear the King's verdict.

He looked towards Glaze as he got up and slightly bowed towards him ” I am ashamed this has happened within my Palace, I have failed to protect you from my people, I apologize and hope you would give me another chance”

”As long as justice is served, I am fine with it, Your Majesty,” said Glaze slightly bowing towards the King.

”And Congratulations, my daughter on reaching the Master Stage,” said the King looking towards his daughter, but she didn't reply to him and just looked him dead in the eye and said,

”I am going to go with the Hero and kill off every last one of the members of the Aquilia Family, taking their titles and lands isn't enough, they must pay in blood for trying to harm MY hero,” she said looking towards her father with an icy gaze.

”Of course, you and the Hero can give them any punishment you see fit,” said the King sighing as he realized how distant he and his daughter had become.

”Well, we shall take our leave then, Y-o-u-r M-a-j-e-s-t-y.” said the Princess towards her father without bowing as she tilted her head to the side with a tinge of sarcasm as she took Glaze's arm in hers and flew out of the Palace.

The surrounding people gulped hearing that , they did not expect such a change to occur in the Crown Princess who always prioritized the peace of the Kingdom, but was now eradicating one of the oldest noble families in the Kingdom out of existence , they might have been scared before but were still condescending towards the Princess as they didn't think she would actually do anything drastic despite being powerful.

But after today's event where she cut off Karen's head, broke through to become a powerful master that could suppress anyone below that stage, which was all the nobles in the Kingdom, and the memory crystal that caused the King to rage and take away the rights of the Aquilia Family, they didn't feel condescending, they just felt fear.

And they soon realized the reason for the change in the Princess' attitude, the Hero.

But they couldn't do anything, they didn't dare do anything, especially after seeing what happened to those who tried to mess with the Hero today.

They sighed and walked back to their homes, realizing that the Kingdom of Everheart had seen a huge change today that will completely change its direction and the plans of all the nobles.

No matter how much they cared about bloodlines and tradition, when facing absolute power, anyone would throw their principles and values in the trash.

The Princess who had a non-existent faction and no support suddenly became the strongest faction in the Kingdom overnight.
