True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 170 Rebellion IV



"Is that all you got, noble blood?" It was clearly a mocking tone. The assassin girl didn't even try to hide her disgusted face while questioning the people beneath her.

Some had their hands dissected from their bodies, and some died in the process of fighting.

The remaining nobles were already on their knees begging for life seeing these people weren't joking when it comes to killing.

Even Julie who witnessed all this merciless killing felt her stomach turning upside down seeing the spectacle in front of them.

She had only one question seen them.

"How in the world, they are so powerful? Their leader was so weak?" She couldn't even imagine a random person without training defeating their skilled nobles.

Even though they were corrupted, in the end, they had potential in them with how many assets they had to improve and mainly their blood which was among the most powerful mana.

"Wait! Don't kill me, I know," With blood coming out of his forehead one of the noble shouted looking at the leader of the assassin group.

"I will employ you and give you a wage double or triple your current one, and I will forgive your clan for all these deaths, so let me go, I will support your clan personally,"

Hoping to at least get them on his side, he begged but deep down he was full of hatred. He just wanted to get out of there alive and kill all these rebels with the support of other nobles and soldiers.

"Really? You will forgive us?"

"Yes, and not only forgiveness, I will treat you like a proper mercenary group," Seeing his method, working he quickly answered her with happiness.

"But-"

"What else do you want?"

"Hmm~ let me think," Others were confused why she was acting like this in her group. They knew she wasn't going to betray Velian or Naomi but they were curious to see what she was going to do.

"Oh yeah! If you kill your princess, I will let you go and you should kill your king too, don't you think it is a good deal, they are going to die either way," As soon as Julie heard her words, she twitched thinking she was serious with her words.

"It's a simple task, I was going to do it either way, we don't need this incompetent royal family anymore,"

Getting up from his position, he slowly reached for his sword which was lying on the floor. He wasn't in his best mind to question why she would order him to kill the princess instead of doing it herself.

"Princess, please die for me," Taking his sword, he ran in her direction with his sword aiming at her body.

He felt no pity or sadness instead it was just happiness after thinking that he was allowed to live.

"He really went and did it!" Laughing at him, The assassin leader slowly reached for her kunai and threw it in the direction of the noble.

It pierced his head without any mercy showing how sharp it was spraying blood all over Julie's face. As soon as she laid her eyes upon this terrifying incident, she couldn't help but scream.

"Nooooooo! Get away from me," His body fell on her lap, but she quickly threw it away in reflex at how scared and disgusted she was.

"Princess," While she was panicking trying to get rid of the dead body, she heard the sound of the assassin girl who was the main cause of this.

"Did you see, princess? How loyal and faithful your nobles are,"

"You sicken me more than this piece of shit, princess," Her voice had frustration and anger which Julie easily noticed.

Hearing her words, she became even more confused.

"Wh- why?" Hoping to get an answer from her, Julie questioned her with fear.

"Why? Because all these corrupted nobles knew what was happening and they are the main cause of this but you, you always had that kind smile on your face like you didn't even know about your own kingdom, it sickens me how ignorant you are,"

Her words affected Julie more than she expected, as she kept staring at the assassin leader. But unlike she expected, the assassin girl didn't even bother to harm her as she order everyone to fall back after collecting badges from every corpse.

"Aren't you going to kill me? You're disgusted with me, right?"

Hearing her words everyone looked at her with pity in their eyes except the leader.

"You're useless, even if you're alive, there's nothing you can do, so it doesn't matter," Leaving those words with the stunned Julie they left to report everything to Delviny.

They already planned to deal with the remaining nobles. Expect a few who had a good reputation, most of them were on the blacklist of Velian. All three dukes were on this list except for one who was the prime minister.

For some reason, even if Velian tried to find information on him, he couldn't find anything. It's like he was the most faithful to the king but there was something strange about him so he was under surveillance for now instead of killing.

"Leader, is it ok to let her live? Naomi told us to kill everyone who could possibly be a threat to us in future,"

Confused about her decision, others questioned her. They wanted to know what gave her this strange idea of leaving one of the most important targets alone like this.

"Well, it's my selfishness, if something happens I will take responsibility so don't worry,"

Even she had no idea what caused her to pity Julie. It was like she saw her past figure and behaviour in Julie and wanted to give her another chance.

"I hope you will use this chance, don't let me down, princess, I don't want to get punished because of you,"

While the assassin group were having their own movement, the whole castle was in a panic as rebels started to invade each and every place including the throne room and royal food storage to steal food.

"Mother, looks like we have a rough future ahead with these people,"

Looking at Daphnia, Velian muttered as he looked at the scene in front of him.
