The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 270: Malicious Smile

That..!

That thing appeared after it broke through the cloud.

A giant creature with a body length of over 30 meters.

That giant creature is flying toward them through the sky.

Its cry can shake and instill fear in the heart of men.

No way.that thing, it cant be

Dragon..!

A was a dragon.

Moreover, it is not just one.

Theres another.

Red and Green Dragon.and the Dragon Knights..they are the United Kingdoms Guardian Holy Dragons.!!

The United Kingdom is a unique country.

It is an island country that resulted from the unification of various nations.

The most unique thing about the United Kingdom is their symbiotic relationship with the dragons.

No one knows when it begins but the United Kingdom has long been protected by the Three Colored Dragons.

They do not attack the people of the United Kingdom nor do they fight with the other dragons in the area.

However, they will not allow anyone to enter their territory without permission, whether it be a monster or a human. The people that are allowed to enter the United Kingdom are only its citizens.

The people of the United Kingdom called them the Holy Dragons.

However, even if they are dubbed as Holy Dragons by the United Kingdom, Dragons are still a threat to other countries. After all, if someone accidentally enters the vast territory of the Three-Colored Dragons, they will be mercilessly attacked.

Their territory extends out to the sea and many ships fell victim to them each year.

To enter the United Kingdom, you must travel there with someone originally from the United Kingdom. Otherwise, you will become the dragons prey.

If the dragons are so dangerous to other nations, why havent they become the Adventurer Guilds subjugation target?

This is due to the agreement between the United Kingdom and the Adventurer Guild.

The Three Colored Dragons are under the United Kingdoms jurisdiction thus there is no need for your intervention. That was the reason they used to have the Adventurer Guild withdraw from the matter.

Even if the Guild went out of their way to subjugate them, they would unnecessarily antagonize the United Kingdom, not to mention the massive damage that will ensue from the subjugation itself.

The United Kingdom also did not want the Adventurer Guilds hostility either so they have made a large donation to silent them.

That was how they became something that can not be subjugated but now those Dragons have appeared in the sky above the Imperial Capital.

Finne and Mia were terrified at their arrival, however, there was someone who was delighted at that.

We did it! Now our victory is assured!!

Finne and Mia look back in the direction of that voice.

There, Zandra was joyfully looking at the sky.

Eh, Desuwa.

Your Highness Zandra.

I thought that I had to run but it seems that you ran out of luck first huh.

Saying so, Zandra showed a triumphant smile.

With Gordon absent, the battle in the middle layer of the Imperial Capital turned to Lizes favor. Seeing that they are losing, Zandra tried to escape to the north gate.

Finne and Mia came to the north gate to cut off the enemys escape route but Mia who is their main fighter can not fight properly now due to her previous attack.

Mia hid Finne behind her but Zandra only smiled as she stood in front of them.

Ara? It seems you have spent a lot of your magic power huh?

You truly are a hateful woman (Desuwa)

AHaHaHaHaHa!!!! Finne! It seems you cant rely on your escort anymore!

Zandra looks at Finne and laughs.

However, there was no fear on Finnes face.

Hating her confidence, Zandra frowned.

That is just her personality but she immediately regained her calm.

If she isnt afraid of her then she just has to make it so.

Im looking forward to breaking that carefree expression of yours.

Finne-sama! I will buy you some time!

Ara? Running away now? I want to have a chat with you though.

Saying so, Zuzan appears on top of a dragon.

Seeing that, Mia visibly frowned.

Its the original hateful woman!? Can you not pick a better time to show up!

It seems Im good at making people feel that way about me. Im glad that you are safe, Zandra.

Okaa-sama as well. How did you escape the castle?

Raphael was stalling Elna for me. I was able to get away during that time.

Raphael did? What about Alida?

We send a lot of soldiers to slow her down. Well, there will be a lot of casualties but I dont care how many of those soldiers die anyway.

Thats true.

Finne let out a small sigh at Zandra who readily agreed to Zuzans words.

Like mother, like daughter.

People change depending on their environment.

It would be unavoidable for Zandra to turn out like this with Zuzan as her parent.

However, even knowing that, she cant sympathize with Zandra.

After all the damage caused by Zandra is too great.

I just cornered Finne too, lets capture her and use her as a hostage. We will surely be able to stall Duke Kleinert.

Right. What about Father?

I can cast a curse on him to stop his movement. I wont let him run away, obviously.

Saying so, Zuzan and Zandra started to laugh.

During that time, Mia tried to urge Finne to escape but Finne did not move.

After all, she didnt see the need to.

Finne-sama.

Its okay.

Ara? What is okay I wonder?

I and Mia-san are safe. Rather, shouldnt you worry about your safety first?

Maybe you still dont understand the situation yet? What kind of danger is there to us?

Have you forgot how the Second Consort died? That was too unnatural, it was like someone assassinated her, was it not? At least thats what the rumors say. And the number one suspect was you, Zuzan-sama.

And what do you want to say?

I do not know the truth of that incident but you have joined the rebellion. Thats why there is a reason to cut you down now, no? That was my meaning. After all, the daughter of the Second Consort is already here in the Imperial Capital.

Ha! Lizelotte is busy commanding the army! She cant afford to chase us now.

When Zandra said so.

The sound of someone walking up the stairs can be heard.

Zandra and Zuzan open their eyes wide at the sound of the army boots.

Then I can just create a chance to chase you myself. If I cant even do that then I wouldnt be able to become an Imperial Marshal in the first place. Still, thanks to your hateful laughter it was easy to find you, you know. So you are here, you poisonous parasites of the Empire.

Lizelotte.!

Zandra screams out Lizes name

However, Zuzan didnt seem to care much about her arrival.

I never thought that you would come after us now but did you follow me?

Of course. I rushed over when I received the report that you ran away with the Dragon Knights. It is too dangerous to leave a poisonous insect like you unchecked after all.

Ara Ara, arent your words a little too harsh for your stepmother.

I never thought of you as my stepmother. If you want to call yourself my mother then go to hell and come back again.

Saying so, Lize unsheathed her sword.

Zandra readied herself and watches her surroundings.

Lizes troops only have a small number.

Judging that, Zandra tries to move but Zuzan holds Zandra back with her hand.

Its okay, Zandra.

Okaa-sama

You want to kill me right, Lizelotte. Do you still think that I killed your mother?

Not just my mother, you had a hand in my brothers death too right?

I am not involved with the assassination of the Crown Prince. I have no motivation in the first place. His Majesty personally launched an investigation and there was no evidence of foul play you know.

Thats exactly why I suspect you. Your forbidden spells are the most suspicious.

My spells can not kill anyone in a single blow. I can weaken them but I can not assassinate them. Well, I can tell you this one truth. [It was not me that killed the Crown Prince].

What she denied was the assassination of the Crown Prince.

However, she was accused of two crimes.

Then what about the other crime that she didnt deny?

..Zuzan!

Certainly, Im involved in your mothers death. No, I could say that I killed her myself. Ive always wanted to kill that woman after all.

Zuzan said with a malicious smile on her face.
