281 Julians Rebellion ? (1/2)

AKU was enjoying the look of surprise on Kiho and Lady Nystrom's face when all of a sudden, he saw an ice dagger flying towards him. It was an attack that he could easily dodge, esepcially since it didn't came from Kiho.

That ice dagger was created by Winter the only ice user in the group aside from his father.

How adorable.

Winter and Julian lost consciousness a while ago. But the two children were already up. And since Elis Ripperton wasn't using his bloodlust anymore, both Winter and Julian regained their strength already.

And it seems like the witch with pink eyes healed them a while ago.

Anyway, Aku tried to melt the ice dagger with his nullification power but it didn't work. Even his Divine Protection seemed to have lost its effect. He had no choice but to catch the ice dagger with his hand. Avoiding it wasn't an option because he didn't want Nia, who stood behind him, to accidentally get hurt.

”It seems like your ability doesn't work on me, Your Majesty,” Winter said haughtily. ”Is it because I'm the Moon Serpent the one destined to kill you?”

He smirked at the child's arrogance but to be honest, he was pissed.

How could I forget that the Moon Serpent is the one prophesied to kill me? Not the Supreme, not the Black Serpent. But I already killed it once. I can do it again, can't I?

Anyway, because of the scene Winter made, the tension disappeared.

Kiho and Lady Nystrom looked so proud of their youngest son, and so was Julian. Even Lord Wixx and the others were looking at Winter as if they were their hope. It seemed like everyone was reminded of the prophecy about the Moon Serpent.

”It was a lovely display of your ability, Winter,” Aku said, then he crushed the ice dagger in his hand. He bled for a while. But since it was only a minor wound, it healed on its own. ”Let's play again next time.” He smiled ”sweetly” at the child before he turned his back on him. ”But the next time we play, one of us will surely end up dead.”

TILLY was relieved when Aku Moonchester and Elis Ripperton finally left.

The only enemy left in the house was Nia Moonchester. But she already locked herself up in the room. As long as they were tied by the binding vow, she knew that she wouldn't so something reckless. But of course, they were still keeping an eye on the royal princess.

”I already covered the room with my Mana,” Luna said. ”Rest assured, Nia Moonchester wouldn't be able to eavesdrop on our conversation.”

”We trust your ability, Luna,” Tilly said. ”Thank you.”

Right now, they were having a meeting in the conference room.

She, Kiho, Julian, Winter, Solenn, Luna, Wixx, Ainsworth, and Lord Forrester were sharing a round table while having hot chocolate. They only brought out the tea for the royal twins. But now that the two weren't around, they went back to drinking hot chocolate.

Anyway

Lord Denver and her Keepers were assigned to guard the area while they were having a meeting. Of course, they couldn't trust Aku Moonchester and Elis Ripperton. Even though the two already left, they were still half-expecting them to return and attack their ”camp.”

It's better to be safe than sorry.

”First of all, I'd like everyone in this room to know that Kiho and I won't be taking all of you to the land that drinks blood,” Tilly said. Before they went there, she and her husband already talked a little about what to discuss with their allies. Kiho also told her the problem with Ainsworth and his spirit guardian. After that, they decided to hold that meeting. ”We decided to only bring our children with us.”

Their allies looked surprised, obviously.

”That's a good plan. It's not wise to bring a big party anyway,” Wixx said while nodding his head. ”But you need to bring me and Luna with you, Tilly. I will protect you, and you need Luna because she's good at healing and creating barriers.”

”I agree with Lord Wixx,” Luna said even though she could see the hesitation in her friend's eyes. ”I'm your doctor, Tilly.”

”I'd love to take you all with me but we can't because Kiho and I decided to give you different jobs instead,” she continued. ”Everyone, Nia Moonchester gave me a hint that implies Aku Moonchester already knows that the Fire Mage clan is hiding up in the sky.”

Everyone looked shocked by that revelation, especially the Red Phoenix.
