__________ POV Ashton__________
The woman looked surprised at the simple greeting. But my next words will likely shock her even more.
I clapped my hands. "Good. Now, what exactly do you want? Take me for a wish granter." I said with a large smile.
The clap broke all of the restraints that Cold Command put on the people in the room. But no one tried to reach for a weapon, either out of ignorance or fear.
My cold eyes studied the woman's facial expression and looked for any signs of fear. She didn't show any.
"Y-You will grant me a wish?!" It was more of an exclamation than a question. But I answered it anyway.
"Yep, you've heard me right! Your courage has piqued my interest. One request, don't make it something stupid, I will kill you." I felt the need to clarify my previous words.
She ignored my threat like a champ, not even flinching at it. I made sure to use the calmest tone I had when speaking. To try and rouse more terror out of her, but it didn't do anything.
The other people in the room looked confused. Tserriednich finally noticed that he had regained his ability to speak.
"Sir, she happens to be my servant, I am sure her wish will be given to me by default." He went from arrogant to polite at the snap of a finger.
But I won't blame him, he likely sees this as a way to kill his siblings or something. Theta looked down, sweating nervously.
For some reason, I doubt I am the reason for this. She didn't even bling when looking me in the eyes. Now that the prince speaks up she suddenly looks at the ground?
"Prince. Whatever you have to say, say after I've finished my conversation with Theta, will you?" I tilted my head a bit. My smile disappearing as I stared at the prince.
"Theta! Tell him that you wish for everyone in this room besides us to die!" His face became twisted as he completely ignored my words. I don't appreciate that...
I stared at him. Why exactly am I putting up with this fool? I doubt Momoze would even be close to someone like him.
I extended my hand towards the prince's chest, his Nen Beast tried to stop me.
But by the time it even twitched I had already thrown Tserriednich's heart on the ground. I then did the sensible thing, grabbing his face and crushing his skull.
I left his body to fall limply on the ground. The last part was more because he was annoying.
The room was deadly quiet, everyone stared as if I did something strange. I'd say he was lucky he's Momoze's brother, his death wouldn't have been so quick otherwise.
"Well then, now that this was taken care of. What do you wish Theta?" I asked, but the woman wasn't even looking at me. She stared at the prince's corpse.
"T-That was it... I wanted you to... To kill Tserriednich..." She fell to her knees as tears started coming out of her eyes. Why is she crying now?
I'm not comforting her though, I already have a Momoze on my hands. Don't need a second one.
One of Tserriednich's bodyguards immediately tried to stab me with his spear. He was behind me, likely hoping to take me by surprise or something.
I instantly turned around and grabbed the tip of the spear in between two of my fingers. Looking at him with a smile.
I chopped the handle of his spear, breaking it in two, then I chopped his neck. Breaking it as well.
He fell to the ground dejectedly. I wonder why did he gain so much confidence? I think he was mad at me for killing his liege.
But still, I wasn't expecting anyone to eat a lion's heart and attack me...
I looked at the other bodyguards around me. They were heavily sweating, not one of them decided to follow their friend's footsteps.
Bit of a shame, but I guess I've had enough action for a day. I looked at the other two princes, I know their names from Camilla.
Zhang Lei, the third prince, is a short, bald man with squarish eyes and bags under them. He looks a bit like a monk, but I won't judge.
The other is Tubeppa the 5th princess. A woman of average height with a squared jaw and short hair. She's wearing a suit, a pair of glasses and some earrings.
"Zhang Lei, Tubeppa, the Succession War is swiftly coming to an end. You should join the rest of your siblings and prepare for the new laws that will be set in place..."
I walked away after saying that.
I think it's fair to give them a chance to join. They should be able to tell that most of their siblings are in an alliance due to the lack of action recently.
Tserriednich needed to die today. I don't really care about reasons, he stood directly in front of us. At least by Camilla's admission.
Of course, I wouldn't take her words for granted. But, from his conduct, impulsiveness and bloodthirsty nature. I do not doubt that he would not want the war to end.
Not in this way at least.
Theta seemed to be interesting at first. But, I guess she just didn't fear death, or maybe she was determined enough to ignore it?
Regardless, that's not something I see every day. Still, I doubt she'll continue her job as a bodyguard after making that wish...
Oh well, I felt generous. Especially since today went quite well. Everything from the Phantom Troup to the meeting.
It all went as I wanted it to. And that leaves me in an extremely great mood.
I guess I'll head back for Momoze's room. I did say I would come later in the night though. And this matter took a lot less than I had previously expected...
I guess I can go and waste some time at a bar. The lower tiers should be more fun.
