Chapter 67: Mirella Llyne part-2

In the story scene mode, Wil continued to watch while recording it automatically in the background just in case.

Mirella is now 15 years old.

Even though her body is well developed, there wasn't any trace of feminity in either her face or body language. Even hair is short, although this didn't let males getting attracted to her.

The weird thing is that even straight females can't help but gaze at her as she was walking through the door and stopped before King while holding the helmet in her arms.

One can say, she has the natural charm that can attract anyone, a trait that was passed down from her mother.

Bowing to her father, Mirella spoke, "Your majesty, our squad has successfully subjugated the leaders of the rebels that were burning the fields of our farmers for the past three months."

The King nod with a smile, "Yeah, I heard of your feats before you even arrived at the capital. Not everyone can fight those five rebel leaders at your age. You didn't give up even after getting heavily injured.

Good job, Mirella. You are fierce and strong just like your mother. Here is the reward for your success."

A frown appeared on Nukegan upon hearing the King's comment.

The scene changed to a private room where Nukegan was chatting with his father, Aedan.

"Did you hear what Byron commented today? Mirella is fierce like her mother. Everyone knows my late sister is a bloody coward. She fears even a small lizard. I wonder what's wrong with him."

Aedan replied, "You are complaining too much about him these days. Isn't he praising our Lessie? What's wrong with that?"

"What I'm dissatisfied with is that little girl. Hmpf, at this rate, Byron will sure let her sit on the throne as the King. He already decreed everyone to call her as the Crown prince. I just can't accept a girl sitting on the throne. 

Don't you want your grandson to sit on the throne? He had a chance of becoming the King, you know."

Upon hearing him, Aedan frowned, "Whether it's a King or a Queen, prince or princess, its Byron's right to decide the fate of Mirella.

I'm warning you. Don't dare to think of any funny business behind my back."

The scene changed to another room where Mirella is fighting an assassin in the middle of the night.

"Who sent you?" asked Mirella coldly after defeating him.

The assassin immediately took out a small flask and crushed it.

A poisonous gas spread around the room and he died on the spot while Mirella fainted.

The scene once again changed to the private conversation of father and son.

Aedan grabbed Nukegan's collar with a fury, "are you the one who did it?"

Nukegan asked with an expectation, "did she die?"

Aedan slapped him on the cheek furiously, "how dare you send an assassin to harm your own niece? Mirella is still unconscious. Pray that my grand-daughter will wake up. If she doesn't, I swear, I'll be the one who will send you to Black Citadel and imprison you for eternity." 

As Aedan left in a fury, Nukegan frowned, "how's that possible? She's just a little girl. Why didn't she die on the spot?

According to that Master Alchemist, it was made from Sonebil's blood. A powerful person like Byron can indeed resist that poisonous gas but even that little girl can resist it? Strange…"

The scene once again changed to King, who looks very weak as he stood before a cell.

He spoke without entering, "As a King and a son, I still can't forgive you for killing my family. But for the sake of my child, I'm releasing you from the imprisonment in exchange to protect my daughter."

In reply, he heard a voice from inside, "Your majesty, I'm still bound by our oath of protecting the Kingdom. I can only keep my promise as long as she's worthy." 

"Then, make an oath that you will guide and train the future generations. You make them sit on the throne only when you find them worthy of it."

The scene once again changed to 18-year-old Mirella reading a letter from someone.

"Hmm, what's this? My father was poisoned? His death wasn't because of the accumulation of heavy injuries? No name is being mentioned…"

***

The surroundings disappeared and Wil again saw Mirella sitting in the chair continuing to talk, "I still wasn't able to find out who sent that anonymous letter ten years ago. I received letters for a while but it stopped once I became King. 

But, over the course of time, what I found that the mastermind behind my father's death is Prime Minister Aedan and his son, Duke Nukegan.

Naturally, Lord Raziel can easily find the truth but he refused to involve in Royal family matters.

Not to mention, according to him, my late father wasn't worthy to be a king. It seems 65 years ago, my father was only spared because he was a kid. So, I can't depend on him either."

Suddenly, her expression changed. Wil clearly saw so much of hatefulness as she continues to speak, "One day, I'll remove everyone that's involved in my father's death."

Wil then asked, "what about your biological mother?"

"Oh, her? Lord Raziel said he freed her long ago. Not sure about her whereabouts. Anyway, it doesn't matter."

"If you knew they are culprits, then, why not punish them directly?" Wil then continued before she replied to his question, "I see. There are no definite proofs."

Mirella nodded, "and if I corner them, then, they would rebel. They have a lot of authority and support in the palace. If the news about my birth will be revealed, then, even Lord Raziel can't stop me from being dethroned.

I need to kill all of them silently not only because of revenge but also to protect the throne so that it won't fall in the wrong hands."

*Ding. Help the King in the quest of her revenge

Description: The King has enemies in and outside of the palace. Help her killing the members on the list. Prime Minister Aedan, Duke Nukegan, Grand Duchess Rikilda, Earl Umphrey, Countess Christaire, General Adinet, General Gawyne, General Godelot, General Issat, Viscount Godefray, Viscount Serle, and Viscount Jehanson.

Reward: Depends on the enemy killed. The higher the position, the greater the rewards.

"F*** there's a prime minister, a Duke, the only Grand Duchess, two Earls, four Generals, and three Viscounts.

Earls usually serve as Mayors. So, I have to take down two cities. Viscounts control the NPC towns. So, that's another three towns. They aren't much of a problem.

But, Generals? That too, four of them? Each one can command at least a hundred elite soldiers. No, even if I try to ambush him alone, still he'll be nearly level-300. For a level-150 guy like me, it's impossible.

That Duke can be managed but Grand Duchess... it'll be very tough.

Ugh… this quest is very dangerous and will take a long time. But, helping her will solidify my position in the Kingdom.

Let's just help her for now. When the time's right…"

After accepting the quest, Wil spoke, "Your majesty, I may not be of much help to you, right now. But, I'll try my best to help you take your revenge in the future in my own way."

Mirella smiled, "thank you. I hope you'll be able to do that, one day."

*Ding. Your favorability with King increased by 10

*Ding. King's favorability reached 70. You met the requirements of upgrading your nobility.

*Ding. Do you want to upgrade your nobility badge and rise to Earl?
