How will I explain it to my sister? I know that she should've expected it but I doubt she's mentally prepared since the execution happened earlier that she expected. I need to find a way to calm her down.
However, I first need to check my fiancée's condition and the other man. I can't let him escape after bringing this much trauma to her or else, I won't be able to forgive myself!
Shit, shit, shit! Things keep coming right in my front. My parent's death, my fiancée's condition, and now the war. I need to get more information, that bastard might have hide more of them.
"Ela, please rest inside here. My personal maid will attend you so be ease."
"O-okay, where are you going?"
"Oh, to our room."
I brought Ela in front of my sister's room where also my personal maid resides. I deem it safe here since my sister probably cast some spell making any of those who enter it alert her and my maid, and since my sister had some training on her before, she can probably handle a servant or two.
"T-take care."
I know what she meant, since most of the servants were traitors. She's worrying I might got stab from the back, however I already know it. I'll kill them all either way.
After bringing my fiancée, I immediately walk to our room's direction where the bastard's currently being restrained.
What should I do to make him speak more? I can now do whatever I want with him until he cry out of blood except killing him. After that, I'll kill him then. However, I don't pretty much have any knowledge regarding torture. I basically am clueless about it!
As I think about what I'm gonna do, I didn't realize I had arrived in front of our bedroom! However, when I glance at the position where the man should be restrained. I didn't find him there, and I notice that the windows are open.
I see, he escaped huh? What should I even do now? I can't confirm the death of my parents with this! He might be lying about it to provoke me!
Gaah!
I look at the chair again where the former bastard should be restrained. I thought about it for a while and let out a deep sigh after finally giving up.
I guess I should focus on my surrounding first. Mother, Father, what should I do?
Right, I'll go to the servants! Damn, even if it's still night, I need them all!
And so, I started moving again to the servant's area. It's right outside the palace. They reside at the mansion located right beside the palace, it's not small but it's also not that big. If I judge it by its appearance, it can store around at most 40 people.
There's also some servants that patrol the palace, however, with this kind of situation, I can't know if some of them is a traitor or not, and so I act alone and didn't let anyone notice me. I also think that the patrolling servants were the one who were mages and betrayed me. If it's them, then that just mean no one's currently patrolling that area.
With that information, I'm certain that no one will know or notice that any sort of event happened unless someone notify them which is the most likely that will happen.
And, just like I expected, someone notified them.
The mansion was out dark and no light can be seen even after entering it. They probably planned an ambush and I'm no expert when it comes to that. I mean I just arrive weeks ago! I was nothing back when in my former world and only lived in peace!
However, with the knowledge I gained from the former person, I may be able to handle them, at least some of them. Haha, such unfortunate me. I didn't know that it was such a grave sin to insult a Goddess, I mean I didn't know she IS one!
Sigh, no matter. What's done is done and I can only endure it until I become stronger. And after that I will know how to counter her. I do hope so!
"Fire Realm" I heard someone chant a spell and instinctively move. However, a flame walls surround me and heat rises within.
Damn this spell! Do they really want me to get killed? Also, I can't believe such power can kill me easily, this body is so fragile!
Gaah, think. I need to think. What should I cast with this? How can I oppress the heat? What should I do?
Right! Should I use ice? Wait! What the fuck am I thinking, won't that freeze me to death!? That's out of question!
What should I do! Damn, the area's getting hotter, I can't think straight. Shit, what should I do, what should I do??!
Should I cast a wall? Yes, that might work!
"Earthen Wall" I cast the spell I had learn with this body's memory, however, the wall didn't do anything much from the heat. Yes, it keeps the area from getting hotter, however, it immediately was destroyed or melted. It's just too hot!
I... I think I'm getting dizzy, tch. I can't let it end here.
"Marble Shot" I heard another spell being cast from the ambusher.
Are they really that desperate? Damn this servants, I'll kill them all!
"Gwaah!!" the small stones came flying toward me and hit every part of my body. Thankfully, I am currently kneeling so most of them hit my back leaving my vital parts safe. However, I can't let this continue! I-I will surely die!
I can't, I can't, I can't! Not now, my chapter of life is still starting. Now that I have my second chance to improve myself. Now that I can be happy once again. I can't die this fast!
"W-Water Aegis!" I cast a spell on my last minute and a form of water walls that surround every angle of me was made.
I-it works, It really works! Hahah! W-with this, I can think clearly until the water evaporate! Prepare yourselves bastards! I will be sure to savor myself from torturing you all!
"Glacial Atmosphere!" I cast a cooling spell around me making the water cool a bit while at the same time lessening the heat pressure.
However, I heard another person chanting something, it seems like it's an offensive spell. So I thicken my barrier and enhance my glacial atmosphere making the water freeze a bit.
I created a spell two days ago when I was training since I had so many free time. There, I made a few offensive and wide-spread spell that can either kill those inside the spell area or weaken their prowess. Which means, I just have the perfect one in this kind of situation!
"Diminishing Spell: Quarter-scale!" with my and this body's former knowledge, I can combine them and make an extraordinary spell! A spell that forbids any mages from chanting in a certain area!
"GHAHAHA! You're all fucked up!" I laugh wickedly after casting the spell.
Then, I heard them chanting spells while I'm laughing, however, no object or elements came to me!
This is it! I am now victorious!
"A spell that forbid any mages except the chanter. An unfair spell that shouldn't be existing in this era! Kekeke, even if they know the chant, it's impossible to formulate it inside their mind!" I mockingly announce and reveal my spell as I laugh hysterically as if I'm going crazy.
Why not though? I mean with this, for the next three hours, they won't be able to cast any spell! Well, they can run, however I won't let them! Kekeke!
"Thunder Lightning: Partial-scale!" a lightning spell I invented, it's the same as a lightning striking down to earth, however, with my spell, multiple lightning strike will struck at the same time in a partial area!
Thunderclap can be heard around the area as my spell violently struck every possible point making the roof of the mansion impossible to hold it. And so, the roof immediately collapse making a big hole after getting struck by the lightning revealing a light clouds!
I-it's beautiful! Goddammit, if only I can chant it outside, it would've been so majestic that can rival even the goddess' lightning!
"R-run!" Someone shout suddenly and distracted me from my moment of achievement making me frown as I find it rude for them to disrupt.
Oh right, I forgot! I need to kill this bastards!
"Thunder lightning: Control" this was the spell that make it extraordinary!
I can control and alter the spell while it's still active and do it freely without requiring any mana usage! Thank goddess!
I point my index finger towards the man that tried to run, doing so, a lightning struck him from above. I made a satisfying smile as his lifeless body drop to the ground.
Since they all started running, I think I'm now safe and so I cast out my almost freezing water barrier. Also, the fire that surrounds me had vanish after one of them run and so the heat I find annoying before was nowhere to be felt making me more satisfied! Oh my, I'm so lucky!
After casting out my water spell, I immediately point my finger towards every moving figure that surrounds me. I spin around while pointing two of my index finger side by side making any directions be struck down by my lightning.
Damn, I think I'm too overpowered! If this spell can make them helpless, then what about the others?! What about the other spell that even far exceed the current world's logic?! I wanna try it, I wanna try it! Kekeke! I wanna destroy them all!!!
I lost myself as I think about all the possible way to destroy them all. I only regain myself after the spell automatically cast out making me realize that the fight was already over and the former beautiful mansion that was here before can no longer be identified as one.
"Hmm? It's already over? Well, I'll be going back then!"
Since I can't let myself be out any longer, I immediately head back after confirming the full destruction of the mansion. This is good once in a while!

[The messenger's POV]
I watch the event that is transpiring inside the destroyed mansion as most of my men got massacred by Verian's unknown spell while laughing.
I was tasked to apprehend him and secure the Duchess and while doing so, destroy every evidence that might expose his excellency.
However, I can't help it, I hate to admit it, but seeing his terrifying spell, I don't think I can fight him much less killing him.
I failed my mission, yes. However, instead of worrying about the consequences of my action, I am more worried about my former lord.
Verian, what did the war do to you?
