Book 4: Chapter 216: Consequences

What’s... going on?

Princess Luna was on all fours, looking extremely pathetic. She still could not wrap her head around the situation.

That young girl named Lilith... How could she be so strong? Princess Luna could not even see her attack...

It hurt... It hurt so much that she even found it extremely hard to just breathe. It was almost as if the hard impact had shattered her internal organs to pieces.

Given her special physique as a royal member of the Holy Dragon Empire, sustaining an attack shouldn’t affect her this badly.

What had gone wrong?

Everyone in the audience was silent. Compared to Princess Luna, who was on the stage, the spectators managed to see the incredible scene even more clearly.

That petite and harmless-looking blonde girl turned into a flash of shadow. The princess was knocked to the ground, without being given a chance to fight back. The difference in their strength was evident.

“Crap, that rascal is this strong?!”

Elder Mord was shocked. He simply could not believe that the little devil who fooled him countless times and only knew how to flaunt her wealth would be strong to this extent. It almost made him wonder if his life had been a lie.

“It looks like Durance is right. Lilith does have the chance to win this tournament. However... Princess Luna is not that easy to defeat either,” the vice dean said.

“You must be kidding me...”

Princess Luna clenched her fists. Her fingertips left deep grooves in the special ground of the arena stage.

“How can I be beaten so easily?!”

The princess’ aura suddenly changed. Her regal aura exploded, as if transformed to that of a violent beast.

Lilith could not help but raise an eyebrow.

This is...

“DIE!”

Princess Luna screeched, then turned into a blur. Her sinister claws reached for Lilith’s eyes, one of her vulnerable spots.

At the same time, she kept her other hand close to her abdomen. If Lilith attempted to draw back like she had predicted, she would immediately unleash an unstoppable and relentless attack that would leave her opponent unable to fight back.

However, Lilith did not draw back like the princess had anticipated. In fact, she did not even bat an eye at the violent attack that was aimed at her eyes. The corners of her mouth lifted into a playful smile instead.

She calmly threw a kick aimed at the princess’ waist.

She is... responding to an attack with an attack?

At this critical moment, thoughts were rushing through Princess Luna’s brain.

No matter how she thought about it... Eyes and waist were two completely different places, unless Lilith had a way to make things work her way.

“Keep this up and you’ll die.”

Princess Luna’s pupils shrink. Without any hesitation, she stopped the attack that was merely inches away from reaching its target, and quickly drew back.

Her heart was beating wildly, like she had just escaped death by a whisker. She gasped for breath as she watched Lilith lowered her delicate leg with a relaxed look on her face.

“Wow, that’s a good response.”

Lilith put her hands on her waist as she commended her opponent.

She had only warned the princess out of fear that she might kill her with that one kick. She did not expect her opponent would back down so decisively without a second thought.

Was her quick reflex a skill she developed through practice and training, or was it... pure instinct?

“It’s over.”

A voice as melodious as that of a lark reached Princess Luna’s ears, yet it sounded no different than a demon’s murmur.

“No, I haven’t lost yet!”

Princess Luna’s face contorted with anger.

How could she lose? She had never lost to anyone since she was a mere child.

Even if the dragon language spell was useless, she still had a physique that was far superior to ordinary people.

Right. She would definitely be able to turn the tide of this battle with her half-dragon form...

“Stand down.”

The order left Lilith’s lips like a holy decree given by a monarch to his subjects. Only Princess Luna could hear it, yet she could not go against it.

What happened next made Princess Luna tremble in disbelief. Her transformation had been forcibly undone.

Those two words that carried no weight caused the boiling dragon blood in her body to cool down and freeze. No matter how hard she tried to awaken it again, it remained unresponsive.

What was going on?

Lilith forcefully lifted Princess Luna’s chin up and smiled at her.

“You lost, dear princess.”

Princess Luna tried to retort, but could not find her voice because her body was already shaking uncontrollably from fear.

Even the simple act of straightening up her back was a hard feat.

“Winner...”

Unbeknownst to them, the judge had reentered the stage. After confirming that Princess Luna was no longer able to continue fighting, he raised his hand and announced in a deep voice, “Lilith from first year.”

The audience was quiet for a moment. The unexpected result seemed to have caught them off guard. Then, someone started cheering and before long, everyone did the same.

Students from both first year and seventh year alike expressed their enthusiasm for this victory that would go down in the history of St. Caroline Academy.

However, this was not what Lilith cared about. She looked directly into Princess Luna’s eyes, and saw fear and shame in her eyes. “According to the rules, you’re now mine. What should I do with you, I wonder?”

Princess Luna trembled violently like she was in an ice field

“I shall have you know that I’m the princess of the Holy Dragon Empire! There will be consequences for your actions!” she warned through gritted teeth..

“Is that so? I’m so terrified,” Lilith responded with frosty eyes.

This person really had the memory of a goldfish. Since this was the case... she might as well crush her pride.

With a wave of her hand, a gorgeous chair appeared behind Lilith. She took a seat, crossed her legs, slid off a shoe and removed her sock. Then, she brought her small delicate feet close to Princess Luna, who was on her knees.

“Oh my. My feet are sweating a little after that warm-up exercise.”

“W-What... do... you mean...?”

Color drained from Princess Luna’s face.

Could she mean that...

Lilith gave her a smile that did not reach her eyes. She placed her arm on the armrest, and rested her chin on her hand. With condescending eyes, she gazed upon Princess Luna as if she was nothing more than an insignificant insect.

“Come on now, lick it clean for me, Your Highness,” she said in a playful tone.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
