Chapter 9 - Chapter 7 : The First Battle

[Time skip : 5:00 pm]

Mr Brown : Wake up Lisa it's dinner time.

He said gently as not to scare her.

Lisa : 5 minutes.

Toying with her Mr Brown said : You will skip your dinner then?

At this sentence she opened her eyes and became frustrated.

Lisa : What's the time?

Mr Brown : 5:02 pm

Lisa : So early.

Mr Brown : Yes we have be ready by 6:00 pm.

Lisa : Understood.

She freshed herself and changed her clothes. They were going to the dinner tent. They saw Aiza and Reina both chatting together happily.

Lisa : Look how calm they both are.

Mr Brown : Yes they are calm because you're here. Not just as a general, but knowing what they know is helping them trust you. (He didn't want to mention that she was a Princess in public)

Lisa : That means I have to work hard for their happiness.

Mr Brown Please don't strain yourself.

Lisa : I won't.

They went in to eat. After 15 minutes they came out of the tent.

Lisa : What's the time now?

Mr Brown : It's time for the battle!

Lisa : Did they put the traps?

Mr Brown : Magnificently! They put various magic traps and you also advised them for tree traps. Lisa nods. They thought that they will make the trees move.

Lisa : Noice! [Nice]. But we shouldn't forget our secret mission. His Majesty is counting on us.

Mr Brown : I got it.

When they finished conversing they heard screams from everywhere surrounding their headquarters.

Lisa : I guess the battle have begun.

Mr Brown : Yes it's seems so.

The enemies tried to sneak in but got caught in the traps.

Lisa : Let's stand in our formation.

Mr Brown : Yes. Please be careful not to strain yourself.

Lisa : Understood.

[Time skip: 2 hours]

John comes running to Lisa's assigned position.

John : General over 90,000 are killed. 10,000 are still fighting our people. Our soldiers don't need backup. Soon they will come with our victory.

Lisa : Very good.

Mr Brown : Your strategy worked. I am very impressed.

Mr Brown was so impressed by her performance that he was overjoyed by it.

All the soldiers and archeries were screaming

that they won.

Lisa : Now it's our turn...

Suddenly something like an arrow came to the headquarters. It was filled with explosive fire magic. Lisa and Mr Brown sensed it. Lisa screamed to warn them.

Lisa : Run away!!!

It exploded at the very moment. They lost 5,000 of their soldiers and 5,000 of their archeries. Rest were injured slightly since they took immediate action.

Lisa : What... was ... that? Didn't... they... kill... their.... troops? So how?

Mr Brown looked at her. He saw the awakening happening.

Mr Brown : I think the king did not give up yet.

Lisa : The king... did not give up.

Mr Brown saw her heart beat using X-ray vision. The heart couldn't take the loss of her comrades. Lisa is going to explode herself.

Lisa : DO I LOOK LIKE THE TYPE TO GIVE UP THEN?

She was very angry.

Mr Brown : Calm down Lisa.

He was restraining her from going all out.

Mr Brown's Flashback

Lisa was very furious because she couldn't win a game I created.

Lisa : DO YOU THINK I WILL GIVE UP?

Mr Brown : No you won't.

She used her precognition to the full extent to her abilities that she fainted after finishing the game.

Present

Mr Brown took another glimpse of her heart. It was beating faster than ever.

Mr Brown Thinking : She is done for. I really don't know what to do. If she uses her power to the fullest then her heart will respond to it.

It is dangerous for this many people to stay here. There will be more casualties than ever.

Activating her power, she is getting ready to run in full speed.

Mr Brown : Help me stop the General.

People came to get hold of her

Lisa : LEAVE ME ALONE. I WILL KILL THE KING MYSELF.

Everyone got terrified by it. They did not go next to her. But only Aiza and Reina came to help Mr Brown.

Aiza : What happened? Why is she acting like this?

Mr Brown : This happens when she is hurt and want to take revenge or when gets so angry or frustrated.

Reina : What shall we do to calm her?

Lisa : LET ME KILL THE KING OF GASTARK.

Mr Brown : No you won't.

Lisa : FATHER'S ORDERS.

Mr Brown : You will die.

While they were controlling Lisa, the King of Gastark arrived at the scene.

The King of Gastark : Hello my name is Drastan. Oh what a scene!! Someone in your army is out of control.

Mr Brown Thinking :How did he get in unnoticed? How does he know our HQ's location? Did somebody help him? How long has he been standing outside?

Drastan : Yes I knew your location. No I didn't get help, I used topography (a form of location magic). I've been standing outside as your soldiers died.

Mr Brown Thinking : So you can hear my thoughts?

Drastan : Yes indeed!!

Lisa released herself and I teleported next to Drastan. She punched him and used "cutting people into half" technique.

Drastan : How? Who is she?

The King of Gastark died on the spot. Everyone was terrified. Mr Brown teleported next to her and restrained her before she kills anymore.

Lisa : WHO IS NEXT? OH YES!! ALL THE PEOPLE FROM GASTARK.

Mr Brown : I won't let you go on a rampage Lisa

Mr Brown hit her on a vital spot on her back and she fainted on his arms. Mr Brown signalled Aiza and Reina to reassure the terrified people.

Mr Brown Thinking : She awakened half of her real power. I really don't know what to do. She will get that power I am sure of it.

[Time skip : After 1 day]

Lisa was lying down on the bed. Mr Brown is nursing her non-stop because it was his fault she rampaged. Lisa is showing signs of waking up.

Mr Brown : Are you feeling any better?

Lisa : What happened I can't remember anything?

Mr Brown : You saw your soldiers die and you went all out.

Lisa felt a pain in her chest. She says softly.

Lisa : I thought as much. I've felt this before.

Mr Brown : Yes it has been a while since we played the game I created. It happened then too.

Lisa : I see.

She is feeling remorseful and asked.

Lisa : Did .... we ... by .... any ... chance... accomplish... our .... goal?

Mr Brown : Yes you killed the king in public and you were thinking of who to kill next.

Lisa burst into tears.

Lisa : I don't like this. They must be terrified of me right?

Mr Brown : Yes they were, but Aiza and Reina made up a story and reassured them.

After telling this Mr Brown fainted. Lisa screamed for help. Reina came to help.

Reina : Oh god I told him to take rest but he insisted by saying that " It's my fault I must fix this mess".

Lisa : Did he?

Reina : Anyways how are you? Feeling better?

Lisa : I am fine but I feel remorseful.

Reina : You just killed the King of Gastark but no one else.

Lisa : My killing intent is increasing day by day.

Aiza enters and hears what Lisa just said.

Aiza : What do you mean by that?

Lisa : That means this rampage you saw yesterday will be more frequent.

Reina : We can't make more excuses for you.

Lisa : I know. I will try to restraint this intention of killing other people.

Mr Brown wakes up slowly on the second bed located in the tent.

Mr Brown Whispering : It's my fault, it's all my fault.

Lisa heard it. She wasn't sure why is he being like this.

Lisa : What happened to you?

Mr Brown realises that she asked a question. He refreshed himself and smiled slightly.

Mr Brown : Oh nothing. I was so worried about you that I guess I lost my mind.

Lisa : Oh ok. Just smile a little bit. Please!!

Mr Brown smiled ☺️ as bright as the sun.
