Chapter 426 Strange Behavior

Myself, Grace, and Atollie all left the Cyrilia Empire and quickly arrived at the border where the war was going on. I looked over the battlefield and noticed our people easily fighting one person to ten of theirs without issue and smiled. "Looks like their leveling spree really ramped up their abilities!"

"They have all worked hard, and more people even signed up to become part of the military as of late. The people of our empire really look up to you, our Empress, who has sacrificed so much to try to keep our empire safe." Grace replied. Her eyes were turning red as she looked down at the battle below with so much blood.

"Grace, come on." I tugged on her arm, causing her to nod and reluctantly look away from the blood bath.

It seems Grace has an issue with controlling her blood lust. I will need to figure out a way to fix that in case she accidentally hurts someone she cares about. We flew to the beast kingdom undetected and in a very short time, thanks to Atollie. I hovered over the Beast Kingdoms castle and snorted. With a wave of my hand, I shot a flaming sword through the air. The barrier surrounding the castle shattered instantly, and the roof of one of its towers blew off in an instant. This was just me venting some anger.

"Master, you just notified the entire beast kingdom that you are here." Grace gave me a reminder. I turned and stuck my tongue out. After all, I did that because I was letting them know I was here. It could be considered a knock. I was knocking to let them know I, Faith Cyrilia, was here to play!

"Who dares to attack my castle!?" A beastly roar was heard from inside the castle. Not long later, two figures appeared in the sky. One I recognized and another who I did not recognize.

"It's you!" The sly cat yelled out, pointing his finger at me. I frowned as I said, using dragon speak: "Punch yourself and pull your tail!"

That was a loud slapping sound as the sly cat punched himself square in the face and then yelled out in pain as he pulled hard on his tail. I snickered with my hand covering my mouth. Seeing this little basta-sly cat being punished is always amusing.

"Empress Cyrilia! You come to my lands and destroy my castle. Do you think my Beast Kingdom is easy to bully!?" The middle aged cat next to the sly cat yelled out.

But I couldn't help but furrow my brow as I asked: "Are you an idiot? You send a billion man army to my doorstep, and you say I am bullying you? Something is really wrong with your head! You attack my empire and want me to sit by and do nothing. I am sorry old man, but this castle, this kingdom of yours, is now hereby annexed!"

"You dare!?" Heh…. The stupid old man did not even deny he sent soldiers to my empire. I have already scanned him from head to tail, and he has no worms in his body, so he is not under control. It seems he is just an idiot altogether. Attacking my empire and not expecting retaliation, who the hell does he think he is!?

"Why wouldn't I dare!? You damn old cat. I will tell you this now. Anyone who dares to invade my lands and try to harm my people becomes my enemy. I will never harm an innocent person but you. You sent a billion of your men to my borders. Give me an explanation!" I roared out even louder than him in a dragon roar, causing the beast kind's king to stare at me in shock. The finger he had pointing at me shivered.

"You….. You are…. Why!? Why is someone like you siding with humans!? Why are you even willing to befriend humans, elves, and dwarves!? They shun us beastkin like we are some kind of plague!"  The beast kingdom's King answered back with questions of his own.

"Because not everyone is bad! What is wrong with having friends and citizens that are humans? What is wrong with befriending the elves!? Why is it wrong to want world peace with no slavery!? You are no better than the kingdoms who promote this same abuse against our own kind, but yet here you are now invading a friendly nation, and for what reason!? Because we are not like you?" I sneered as I waved my hand. "Gates of Faithylon!"

Millions of swords of fire appeared in the air and were all aimed at the castle below. "You start a war without knowing your enemy's true strength. You question me about my values, but what about you?"

​ "I….." The beast kingdom's king's body shivered as he looked at my massive spell that was on a whole new level compared to before. I could push this spell to almost a few billion swords if I wanted to, but that would be overkill at this time.

"I what!? Answer me, O'Great Beast King!" I roared once more, shaking the air around us. But in return, all I got was a blank look, which made me furrow my brow. "Atollie, is there anything wrong with that man?"

"No… he has no magic cast on him, nor has he been invaded by the worm things you told me about," Atollie answered. I knew I could trust her answer, which made me even more puzzled. Why would this man do all this for no reason?

"Master, let me handle the rest. I have not fought in a long time." Grace suddenly stepped forward. Seeing her crack her knuckles, I nodded to agree. "Okay, but I want to go punch the sly cat myself. I dislike him."

"As you wish, Master." Grace grinned and then disappeared. The next time I saw her, she already punched the Beast Kingdom's king back into his castle with a single punch. Which I kind of figured would happen. Now that Grace was off doing her thing, I decided to go knock out a sly cat. Although I still have the feeling within me that something strange is going on.
