Chapter 31 Grand ution!
People are held captive in the center of the kingdom and forced to witness the executions of the royals and nobility.
It was organized by the renowned, wicked Queen, the former saintess' Althea Montgomery.
She sat on a magnificent and exquisite golden chair in front of the crowd, grinning.
Her beautiful, glittering, fiery-red gown catches the audience's attention, making her the event's main focus.
Even though the event was exquisite, the people who were present were dead silent; no one dares speak or leave since the Queen has power over the dark mist that surrounds them, in which anyone who makes a mistake will surely meet death.
The center was aesthetically planned, and the preparation for execution is similar to viewing a new theater or play.
People believe it is too much that the Queen, a former saintess, is possessed by an evil spirit.
The people's surprise causes them to be confused and afraid of what the Kingdom of Chrolexia will become if these unlawful acts continue.
Even the priests are confused that their saintess became evil. The hope of the kingdom is now imbalanced. Who will save them from the darkness? Who will stop this wickedness?
After we successfully escaped from the village, we decided to discuss our plan at the tower. Vladimir was being generous; he agreed to help us save the kingdom, with a condition. I don't know the condition yet, but it didn't matter. As long as he is with us, the plan will have an 85% success rate.
Three days later, we have now initiated our plan to stop the Queen's execution.
With Vladimir's magic, he cast a spell to make us invisible so that the Queen would not notice us entering the center.
People did not notice us pacing forward to the wooden stage where the nobles were being prepared to be hanged.
While the Queen sat in a fancy chair on the main terrace, where she could see all the people at the center,.
When Hillary cursed, I hurriedly went in her direction, trying to get out of the crowd to clearly see what's in front.
My tears fell uncontrollably, and my voice became shaky due to my trembling lips. "Vladimir, can't you see them? It's my father, my brother! They're about to get hanged!"
He grabbed my hand and pulled me to narrow our distance; he held both my shoulders and said, "You must control your emotions."
*sobs* My heart is aching; I can't watch my family face that rope! Brother was kneeling on the ground with a lot of bruises on his face, while father had blood on his head! I need to save them quickly!
I tighten my fist, trying to stop myself from panicking before I make a wrong move that could compromise our plan. I need to calm myself.
"They've been poisoned; their spiritual core is weak. It's one of the Queen's experiments," Caster explained.
F*ck, fight them by fist? This is a bit of a of a disadvantage for me; I can't use Gaia's power, and I know nothing about martial arts or taekwondo. I didn't learn them when I was on earth. How can I fight with my fists? Maybe I need to find out the core of the magic circle so that we can use mana!
I know now that since Vladimir couldn't use mana because of the bloody magic circles, he used dark arts instead.
Hillary reminded us, "In five minutes, the invisibility spell will lose its effect; we need to be prepared to fight."
Caster was about to move, but I stopped him. I held his arm and said, "Caster, I need your assistance."
He was a bit shocked because of my request. He looked at my hand and then to my face. "W-What is it?" he stutters, feeling nervous about what I'm about to say. "The magic circle, do you know anything about it?"
He looks at me, trying to figure out what I'm thinking, but I just raised my left eyebrow, "Y-Yes I do, this magic circle is not entirely powered by the Queen's mana. She utilizes blood and black arts to increase its potency, so that people like us cannot use pure mana. If we employ mana,
the circle will not only ruin the kingdom, but it will also poison your body and maybe destroy your spiritual core."
This magic circle is very strong; it may even kill a spiritual core; if one's core is destroyed, the individual is rendered worthless and mediocre. He or she will be unable to utilize mana again.
he added, "We must locate the epicenter of the magical circle, which beneath it hides a crumpled fabric with the Queen's blood. The magic circle can be destroyed by burning it. When it happens, the Queen will undoubtedly be impacted, losing half of her power."
