Chapter 253 - Execution (II)

We didn't expect Tina to just do that to her guard and what is more surprising is that she did it using her bare hands. Queen Tanya seems to have expected the reaction of Tina as she didn't flinch when the guard died.

"May I ask why you killed him?" Queen Tanya asked.

Tina flicked her arm that she used to kill the poor guy and a lot of blood from the dead body splatter to the floor. "You don't need to ask that since you already know. He deserves to be executed."

Queen Tanya shook her head in disappointment.

"Looks like you are still going to need some lessons, Princess Tina. If you are going to just let your emotions go haywire just like that, you will not be able to get some valuable information and also you can't get a good torture to the guy since you have killed him and freed him from the trouble. If I were you, I would have tortured him more, make him talk and beg for his life to be ended before you execute her."

Tina did not speak but it is evident that she has taken note to what Queen Tanya just said.

"With that said, since the guy that is our main source of info has been killed, we need to track down the other guards and the coachman of the carriage and extort them out of information. I can tell that the info we got are not enough and we need a bit more solid evidence than just a mere few words coming from a guy."

"But how can we track them?"

"I am in control of the all the exit points of the Sandurk and I know who goes in and goes out of the Continent. And unlike the likes of Bladeheart and the others who can just teleport away from here, the guards needed to manually return to Aquagius to report their success. They still haven't moved away from Sandurk which means you are still able to capture them."

Tina's face goes firm and a new fire has ignited inside her. Queen Tanya looked at me and smiled.

"This is your time Bladeheart. I will appoint you as the special body guard of Princess Tina. I believe in your abilities and I can tell this will be an easy task for you to do."

A quest panel appear before me, containing the info of the current quest.

[Metamorphosis of the Princess]

Type: Exploration/Legacy Quest

Target: 0/6 guards

0/1 coachman

Info: The Princess of the Insect Kingdom needs to proceed to her revenge. But to do that, she needs to track down the guards that have done the assassination attempt. Help her do this and she will reward you with something that you will not expect.

Warning: Doing this quest will allow you to unlock the locked Continent, Aquagius during the duration of the quest. After the quest is done, the continent will not be explorable until it was officially released to be unlocked so please make sure to plan everything out.

I have never seen this type of quest before but I certainly know what is a Legacy Quest. I also have one legacy quest that is involved with the incomplete treasure that I got from Serbal. I have a hunch but the Serpent God that the quest in the incomplete treasure should be located in Aquagius since the Serpent God is a deity worshipped by the inhabitants living in the Water Kingdom where the mermaids and mermans live.

So what will be the legacy item that is going to be given to me after this quest is done? No idea what it was but I am excited.

"Bladeheart, you are tasked on looking for those guys. We will ask my friend who knows how to sketch someone's face to try recreating their faces into a picture for you to easier track them down. I will also hold the port for them so that they can't get away either. Come back here after 10 days to take the bounty of these men," Queen Tanya ordered.

"What about Princess Tina?"

"Since she should be "dead" in the eyes of the Insect Kingdom, we will let them believe she "died" already. We will make sure no one knows she is still alive and strike back once their guards are down. That would be the perfect opportunity to shake down everyone who are part of the assassination attempt."

Tina looked at Queen Tanya with a surprise look on her face. She didn't expect Queen Tanya to do that. Queen Tanya grinned at Tina and it seems she read what is going on on her mind.

"You wouldn't be able to rule a whole continent if you don't think outside the box, Princess Tina. You might be getting some privilege while you are still in the Insect Kingdom but now that they decided to throw you off on that one, it is a much better option for you to fight back and reclaim what is rightfully yours. You don't want to be buried and just be forgotten by the people who looked down on you right?"

Tina clenches her fists and she firmly looked at Queen Tanya.

"My queen! Please help me get stronger!"

Queen Tanya stare at Tina and snaps her fingers.

Tina then stops on her tracks.

"Huh? What is going on? Why did my vision goes black? What is happening?" Tina stumbles to the ground as she tries to look around her.

"You are under my spell, the [Eternal Dark]. It blocks the vision and other senses that allows you to perceive the surroundings besides the hearing senses. Other than that, you can't feel and see anything. Get accustomed to it and forcefully break from that spell and I will help you train to get stronger. We will have plenty of time for that so start familiarizing yourself on your situation."

I grinned when I realized what Queen Tanya has done. It is one of the training method I received from her and it is one if the hardest stuff she have given to me in the training. However, once I mastered it, the situation has gotten much easier all of a sudden. How times fly by.

I left the palace since Queen Tanya and Tina would be going to need some time together. As for me, I have to go back to the Giant Devouring Sandworm and butcher it for materials and other stuff.

...

The next day, the Arena Competition is finally ready to roll, my parents also arrived in the Capital much earlier than I expected. Since I agreed to them that I will be guiding them around, I helped them get used to The Capital since they will be here for a few days to settle down and gather quests to level up.

I also gave them access to my mansion so they were much more happy to have a home to rest whenever they are not fighting enemies and wanted to chill. 

I also didn't expect for Father to choose to be a Fighter since I rarely see him do a martial arts and since Fighter is a martial arts heavy class, this is not within the scope of understanding on his choice.

As for mother, I think I kinda understand for her to choose the Alchemist as her own class. Since Alchemists are more in producing items, and giving buffs to allies as well as giving debuffs to enemies, I can easily know why she did choose it. She loves to experiment things and since Alchemists do that, I can see her trying to go to the Mad Scientist Class up Route.

I also didn't expect her to already get the Ex Job Chef. Due to one of the quests in the beginner's village that will allow you to have a chance to become chef if done right, she acquired the ex job just fine.

I didn't take the quest to that ex job early because I wanted to learn to another NPC that has a chain quest linked and will be beneficial to me and the only way to trigger that skill is for me to help him without the Ex Job of a chef. If I did get the Ex Job Chef back in the beginners' village, this quest is immediately failure.

Anyways, after my mom saw the kitchen, she decided to take over and become the head chef of the mansion. If only she is as enthusiastic in real life, our food daily is really good. Too bad, she is holding herself back to save money. But since this is a game, she can do it without a care.

I invited everyone to come and watch my PVP battle in Sandurk including my parents and everyone is excited after knowing that I will be competing. Right now, I am one of the participants in the first PVP tournament. Due to the last incident, my name has become one of the popular contestant to win the finals.. But it's not only me who are being used as the target for the gambling as the other one who has the highest odds to win is none other than Kazuki.
