Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 29: Raised a Demon

Noticing the King's glare, almost everyone took a step back while some were frozen on their spot. It was reasonable why the King did such a thing but it was unreasonable why he would do it in front of everyone.

The young nobles had already fallen on the ground. They were holding their vomit as they were witnessing how Avion's body was still standing on the ground before it was out of balance and fell on the ground.

Even though Avion was now dead, the King was still fuming in anger. That slap will not be erased in everyone's memory. What he needs to do was to ensure that they were silenced.

But before he was about to say something;

"Why..." he heard a whimper from his left. His anger almost disappeared in an instant as his head turned to his daughter.

Tears were relentlessly coming out of her eyes.

".. did you do that?" Princess Alisera then glared at her father.

The King's eyes widened, 'Oh no...' he forgot about what his daughter will think.

He would overthrow a kingdom for his daughter but at that moment, he forgot about his daughter's feelings.

"Alisera..." the Queen took a step forward and tried to console her daughter, ".. it has to be done."

"What!?" Alisera pushed the Queen back to her place. To push a Queen while getting away with it, only she could do that, "You killed Avion! Why?!" she screamed not because she was throwing a tantrum but they could feel sadness from her every word.

"Alisera...!" the Queen wanted to order her daughter to be quiet but she couldn't do it.

Edora and the three maid sisters could feel empathy towards the princess. Even though it was sudden, they saw that she was truly happy when she was with Avion. Seeing his brutal death in front of the princess would scar her for the rest of her life.

They could only shake their heads and then comfort the princess after this. They just can't revive the dead, go against the King, or turn back the time.

But in the next moment, they froze;

"You just had to ruin his handsome face!" Princess Alisera shouted with anger.

Hearing this, everyone was speechless as they tried to remember if they heard it right.

...that was the reason for her sadness? After Avion died, she was angry because his handsome face was ruined?

"....."

"A... Alisera!" towards this, the Queen shouted in anger. She couldn't believe she had raised such a devil!

The lovely daughter they have was slowly turning to a demon in their eyes. Even though Avion had committed such crimes towards the King, he was still human. No, the problem was, in front of her friend's death, she only cared for her loss of benefits.

She never looked at Avion as her friend but just someone who had a pretty face.

Princess Alisera was not scarred but the three maid sisters. They saw how she and even Avion conversed. They thought that it was real and that the princess had fallen in love with Avion at first sight. They knew that Avion was enjoying his time with her too.

They couldn't believe they gave pity and empathy to the princess. That pity began to direct towards Avion, who seemed so innocent now, and the King and Queen who had a child like her.

No, it was the King and Queen's fault for raising such a demon!

Even Prince Harold and Prince Julio became afraid and feel disgusted towards the princess.

"Because of you two, I lost a toy! Do you know how hard it is to find someone as handsome as he is?! Huh?! Can y- Pak!*"

The King had enough of his daughter's voice. With a sad expression, he slapped her. If only he did not love her then he could've killed her on the spot too.

Tears were coming out of the Queen's eyes. She was regretting all the spoiling she did towards the princess...

But from now on, they will never be soft to her again.

With a slap from such a huge body, Princess Alisera had no defense and easily fell on the ground. She looked at her father, not with fear but with more intense anger.

"YOU-!!" Princess Alisera's voice roared as she pointed at her father.

The Queen cried at this sight as she leaned towards the King, not wanting to see this side of her daughter. In her mind, the image of sweet Alisera crumbled down. She could feel a stabbing pain into her heat as if her daughter disappeared and this demon replaced her.

But they cannot further deceive themselves, this was the daughter they raised and gave all their love.

From that night on, it was not only the welcome party that is destroyed but the reputation of the Karan Royal Family. Nobody wanted a ruler like the princess.

No matter how much the King would want to suppress all the nobles there to keep them silent, words will eventually leaked out. It was inevitable. The people will learn about this and will revolt to kick her out of the Crown Council. Although a commoner's life is not even worth as a pawn to the nobles, if they unite with one intention, they could create a larger and stronger faction that all the nobles combine!

If Princess Alisera was kicked out of the Crown Council, there wouldn't be any future ruler from the Karan Kingdom and would become an easy target from the Rianzares and the Hansheles Kingdom. The alliance is only possible because they have no choice, but none really trusted another.

Just from this one night, the future of the Karan Kingdom suddenly shifted!

The King's only escape was to massacre all the people in here...

He was, after all, Rank Baysi, having adept on two Elements with Rank Bih and Rank Cee respectively, the King is the strongest there.

If nobles became nobles due to their rich bloodline and talents for being Elementalists then the Royal Family had the best bloodline. Meaning, it would be easy to massacre everyone there.

However, it was just not realistic. Countless consequences will result from doing that. They have no escape and this all happened because they raised a devil.

But little did they know that they are going to be spared, free from this mess, and will be given one more chance.

A purple light shone from the side of their eyes.

Abruptly, all of their heads turned to what was glowing at the time. What they saw momentarily made them forgot what just happened.
