Chapter 9 - TKWTR 009

As soon as the Prince and his two personal knights left, Rowena began the knife dance of the Mayans. Everyone there including the King was amazed to see her appearance which was considered very beautiful.

When they were all lulled by the dance, Rowena began to launch the action. The first step she did was to stab the King right in the chest to pierce his heart with the knife she was holding. Rowena deliberately killed the King because she thought it would be easier to kill the person who had the highest caste in the kingdom, after that the other nobles.

All the guests who were there screamed hysterically watching the incident. Some of the women fainted on the spot, while some of the men immediately started fighting Rowena. There were also those who tried to escape from the room, unfortunately they failed because all the exits had been blocked by Sunverro's troops.

Now the only thing they could do was kill Rowena or be killed by Rowena. Seeing the panic of the people made Rowena's heart beat fast, really fast. It wasn't that she was afraid but that she was very happy and excited to kill the 250 nobles in the same room quickly.

To save time, Rowena uses her magic to kill everyone there. Consequently, her hair color turned red again. One by one people stabbed him with the knife she was holding and strangled using her magic. There were also those that she burned to scorch with his fire magic, besides that there were also those whose body parts were cut off because of Rowena's wind magic.

The point is that the room really changed drastically, which from a luxurious and beautiful banquet hall instantly turned into a slaughter room filled with the blood and corpses of the guests. The walls of the room were also covered in blood splatters.

It was terrible, but not for Rowena. She thought the pile of corpses and the pool of blood was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She felt happiness and a sensation she had never felt.

In just fifty minutes, Rowena managed to slaughter two hundred and fifty people in the banquet hall. Before finishing her fun game, Rowena took the bloodstained crown from the King's head. Then she cut the king's neck and carried the head with her left hand.

Before leaving, Rowena changed her hair color again to jet black. Then she casually walked to the main exit and said, "Hey, soldier Sunverro! I'm Rowena, open the door."

Someone opened the door from outside. Rowena came out with gifts for Her Majesty in both hands. Prince Helios, Sir Cedric, and Sir Damian were shocked to see Rowena who was still alive and didn't have a single scar and the color of her clothes turned red from being exposed to the blood of her victims.

Rowena returned the surprised stares of the three people with a small smile on her face. She placed the bloodied crown he had snatched right on Prince Helios' head.

"This kingdom is already yours, Your Majesty." Rowena smiled again and threw King Valeccio's head on the ground. "Then I present to you the head of the one you have clashed with before, O Star of the Sunverro Empire."

Rowena who saw a female maid who was scared immediately called her and told the maid to lead her to an empty room so that she could rest for a while. She went with the maidservant, leaving Prince Helios and his two personal knights who still didn't believe what Rowena had done.

Sir Cedric and Sir Damian immediately entered the banquet hall. For the umpteenth time, they were surprised to see the condition of the room which was full of blood and scattered corpses. They could not believe that such a heinous thing had been done by a woman who they considered weak all along.

Prince Helios who was still surprised followed his two personal knights. He showed the same reaction as his two personal knights. This was the first time Prince Helios had seen the results of Rowena's brutality. He had to admit this looked scarier than seeing the people killed on the battlefield. Prince Helios began to wonder about what had happened in the room just now.

Now Rowena was taking a relaxing dip in the hot tub which happened to be available in the palace. Rowena had not felt this peace and warmth for a long time after she had been expelled from Edelle's palace. She closed his eyes and took a deep breath. What she did today was nothing compared to what happened when her mother died.

Perhaps for other women, if they had done the same thing as Rowena, they would most likely have just shut themselves up and burst into tears of trauma. However, Rowena did not feel that feeling at all. She just felt an unstoppable joy. Has his debut as a ruthless tyrant already begun?

The next day, Rowena rushed to meet Prince Helios who was in the study of the dead King Valeccio. It seemed that the Prince had stayed up all night taking care of the Kingdom's documents and internal matters while accompanied by Sir Cedric and the faithful Sir Damian standing behind him. Prince Helios' face looked very tired.

"Looks like you've reached your limit, Your Majesty. Shouldn't you pause and rest?" said Rowena who had just entered the study.

"I've told him that from a few hours ago. However, this one human is really very stubborn and doesn't heed my words," said Sir Damian.

"You guys don't seem to know the current state of the Kingdom. This kingdom is really in a slump in terms of economy. I think this is because the Bastard King has used his money to buy women and other useless things," said Prince Helios while massaging the two his temples with his hands.

Rowena walked over to Prince Helios. She read the document the prince was holding. "I can help you."

"Really? If you can, then I'll gladly leave this to you," said Prince Helios enthusiastically.

"Of course. In return can you allow me to take a week off?" Rowena asked.

"What are you going to do during your leave?" asked Sir Cedric.

"I want to visit Duchy Ellien," Rowena answered excitedly.

"That Duchy Ellien located in the Terania Kingdom?" said Sir Damian who was confirming.

"Why did you go there, Rowena?" said Prince Helios looking curious.

The corners of Rowena's lips lifted slightly. "I want to visit my father there. When I set out in the conquest of Richella, I had promised my father that I would meet him in one more year at Duchy Ellien. Unfortunately I was caught in that sickening war for five years so I didn't have the chance to meet my father. I have now become a knight of Sunverro and I believe my future will be better than before. So will you allow me to go to Duchy Ellien, Your Majesty?"
