Yue's eyes were wide and filled with a murderous intent as she held her magic pistol to Dean Clarkson's head. As soon as she saw him trying to act against Clara, her trigger went off, and her killing mode was activated. She pressed the muzzle of her magic pistol against Dean Clarkson's head, making his skin wrinkle from how hard she was pushing it into his skin. "I asked you, who said you could touch my teacher?"
Clara and Princess Venessa were both completely stunned by this sudden change in Yue's behavior. She was like a completely different person. Clara reached out and wanted to calm Yue down, but before she could, Yue raised her magic pistol and slammed it down onto his head as hard as she could. The Dean, who should have been able to withstand such an attack suddenly slammed down to the ground hitting his face off the wood floor of the wagon. "Why are you not answering? Do I need to beat you until you answer me?"
Right now, Yue saw Dean Clarkson not as a man but as nothing more than a monster. Just like the goblins, she emotionlessly slaughtered until every last one was dead. She cared not for those she thought of as enemies, and right now, he had become her enemy. She raised her foot and was about to stomp on his head when Clara hugged her from behind, pulling her back.
"Yue! Calm down! If you kill him, you will be the one in trouble." Clara tried to reason with Yue. She could tell she was not of her right mind right now. The killing intent she had emitting from her body was real enough to even make her shake in fear.
"Yes, Yue, please don't kill him. Let the knights take him in and send him to the dungeon. He will be tried under multiple charges, including the death of those girls whom you found." Princess Venessa also tried to reason with Yue. She now understood the kind of person Yue was. She was kind hearted to those who showed her the same. She would get revenge on those who did her wrong, but even still, she would not kill. But once you crossed that line, there was no turning back. Once you were her enemy, you were on her to kill list. Princess Venessa tried to calm her racing heart. She realized that she could have been one of those people on that list if this event did not happen.
Yue snorted and looked at Princess Venessa as she freed herself from Clara's embrace. "Tell me, Venessa. How do we know he won't be able to bribe his way out? As dean of Arches Magic Academy, he would have many nobles to back him up that could petition for his freedom. How certain are you that he will get what he deserves? Someone who causes others to lose their lives should pay with a life, am I correct?"
"You little bitch..." Dean Clarkson struggled to raise his head. His whole face was bloody, not only from a broken nose, but he also had a huge bloody gash from where Yue had hit him. "Do you think you will get away with assaulting me? Do you think you will get off without a single punishment? Once I plead my case, it will be you who is punished and not me. Just you wait, I will see you rot in a dungeon cell. Commoners can never go against a noble. You will never see the light of day again!"
"That's funny because you won't ever hear your heart beat ever again, never mind find out if I get punished or not," Yue said coldly as she aimed her magic pistol right between Dean Clarkson's eyes. Her eyes showed no emotion as her finger slowly squeezed the trigger.
*Bang!*
Yue's magic pistol shot out a streak of blue light that pierced through Dean Clarkson's head. His eyes were open wide in disbelief. He probably never thought she would have the guts to pull the trigger. But he severely underestimated Yue's guts and lack of care when it came to those she saw as an enemy. "It seems I will get arrested now," Yue said with a chuckle as she let her magic pistol drop to the ground and raised her hands. She turned and looked at Venessa and tilted her head. "I promised those girls I would avenge their deaths. My duty is now complete. Do with me as you will."
"Yue, you!" Princess Venessa did not know what to say. Yue would actually do something like this just to keep her promise. Such a noble act should never be punished…. But… She still killed someone in broad daylight in front of so many. "Albert, arrest her but be gentle."
"No! If you arrest Yue, arrest me as well!" Clara stood in front of Yue. She wanted to protect Yue no matter what.
"Miss Clara…." Yue's eyes watered up. This woman was always on her side, no matter what. She raised her hand, and a light purple glow flowed out of it as she placed her hand on the back of Clara's head. "Sleep…."
Clara's eyes suddenly felt heavy, and the world seemed to grow dark. Yue caught her crumbling body, lifted it up, and then gently placed it down on the wooden seat of the wagon. Princess Venessa's eyes opened wide in shock. She had no proof before, but now she did! She knew for a fact that Yue had used magic this time. But she had never heard of a spell called sleep before. This was the first time she had seen such a spell. "Yue, you!"
"I believe I was in the process of being arrested, Princess Venessa. Sir Albert, if you will." Yue smiled softly, causing Princess Venessa's words to get stuck in her throat. Her inner turmoil was spinning out of control. She clenched her fist and stared at Yue, who only smiled as if this was all pre-ordained. She had already accepted her fate when she made the decision to pull the trigger.
"Yue, I will fight for your freedom and be there as a witness at your trial. I will plead your case, and hopefully, we can get it thrown out. If not, I will plead for the lightest sentence possible." Princess Venessa vowed. She would do what she can for this girl she once hated. This girl who was nobler than even the king himself.
