Chapter 74: Fall of The Imperial Capital freešš ššŽšš‹š’šš˜Ńµšžl.š‘oļ½

Itā€™s been an unusual morning in the Capital of Kingdom Valenciu.

As today is the birthday of the Prince, most of the residents will not be working. Most of the shops, except restaurants, will also be closed.

Then around 1 p.m., the parade around the Prince began, which everyone had been looking forward to.

ā€œKyaaaā€”ā€”!!!ā€

ā€œLinen-sama!!!ā€

ā€œHaha! Everyone, thanks for coming!ā€

Once the prince on his white horse proceeded down the middle of the avenue, the young women raised their high-pitched voices. The Prince, who turned fifteen, would be recognized as an adult today. This was one of the reasons why the parade was so grand.

There are a lot of soldiers around, but everyoneā€™s eyes are glazed over. The king had ordered the soldiers to be extra vigilant this time.

ā€œLook at this, Aria! Look at how popular I am! Is this still not enough to get you to go out with me?ā€

The Prince spoke proudly to Aria, who walked a little behind him.

ā€œIā€™m sorry, but I have someone else I want to go out with, soā€¦ Ohohoho. And speaking of popularity, I seem to have some tooā€

The people are clamoring Aria-sama, Aria-sama. If sheā€™s not careful, she might even be more popular than the Prince, the main character. The Prince, who has a thing for her, is a little upset.

ā€œNow now Prince, thatā€™s enough for jokesā€¦ please be careful. Weā€™ll also be keeping an eye on youā€¦ā€

ā€œI know. I can handle a sword. I can protect myself alrightā€

Today, it has been confirmed that The Resistance is plotting to assassinate the prince. Aria is at their side to escort them. It will be tomorrow before she takes a leave of absence being a Hero.

The prince extended his gaze to the pair of hooded men walking just behind Aria, and the slime in the arms of one of them.

ā€œFor the elves over there, I really am gratefulā€

ā€œNo, no, no. If we could be of any help to you, it would be our pleasure. Right, Kuna?ā€

ā€œYes! Iā€™ve made a promise to Master, and I and Punini will definitely protect the princeā€

ā€œWeā€™re pretty strong, even though we look like this-puniā€

ā€œI see, thatā€™s what Iā€™m hoping for. Iā€™ll be counting on you if something happensā€

Last night, Kuna, Punini, and the elder somehow managed to reach the Imperial Capital and meet with Aria. They told her the whole story of the incident and told her to be vigilant. And today, they were working with Aria to escort the prince.

If the stories of The Resistance are true, the assassination of the prince will be carried out even if those who went to the forest do not return.

As long as they can turn it around, itā€™s fine.

ā€œBut they wonā€™t be aiming for it here, as expectedā€

Kuna speaks carefreely. The wide boulevards are filled with people, which is good for hiding.

But the difficulty of moving is the worst. The distance between them and the Prince walking in the middle of the road is too far, and there is a high possibility of being seized by soldiers on the way.

ā€˜Even If they run from the crowd, Iā€™ll spray just spray them with poisonā€™

ā€œMy bow is faster than yours~ā€

The elder scolded Kuna and the others for being overly confident.

ā€œShush. The enemy may not always run straightforwardly. They could be using bows or magicā€

ā€œOh, thatā€™s right, ā€¦ā€¦ I was so careless!ā€

ā€œWell, I canā€™t say I donā€™t understand Kunaā€™s feelings, since youā€™re both hereā€

The elder smiled at Aria and her mentor, Lineria.

But neither of them responded at all. Rather, they were not looking at the elder. First, Lineria pointed to the roof of a weapon shop on the street.

ā€œThereā€™s someone in there!ā€

Then, Aria pointed to the roof of the building across the street.

ā€œMaster, thereā€™s another one on the other side. Iā€™ll take care of thisā€

There was one enemy each. One of them, a middle-aged man with a beard, made a show of kneading his magic, and one of them leaped from the roof and landed right on top of the Prince - where he unleashed his fire magic.

It was a large flame ball that was more powerful than a flame ball and was over two meters in diameter. Aria shoots water magic from below against the flaming mass. The amount of water created was overwhelming, and with the cooling effect of the water, the large ball of flame disappeared in an instant, swallowing the falling magician himself.

ā€œSeize that person!ā€

When the prince gave the order, the soldiers seized the fallen man at once.

At this point, Aria turned to the other assassin, who was about to turn and pull the string of an arrow.

ā€œUgh!?ā€

However, he was suddenly pierced in the shoulder by an arrow and lost his balance. He fell down from the roof as if he were rolling.

Kuna was the first to move before her master. Aria praised her for her agility and responsiveness.

ā€œOh my God, Kuna! Your bow skills and judgment sense are perfectā€

ā€œEheheā€¦ are you reallyā€¦? Iā€™m so happy to be complimented by you, Miss Hero!ā€

The air relaxed as both assassins were defeated. As if aiming for that moment, a man with a sword in his hand came out of the crowd and aimed at the Prince.

ā€˜Ptooā€”ā€”ā€™

ā€œWhoa! What theā€”?!ā€

Jumping to the manā€™s height, Punini wiped the poisonous liquid on his enemyā€™s face. The effect was immediate, and the man fell instantly to the ground, unable to move.

ā€œNice, Punini!ā€

ā€œIā€™m not just a slime who watching you either-puniā€™

ā€œEveryone be careful, thereā€™s more coming!ā€

One after another, more than ten people at once set their sights on the Princeā€™s life. Aria, Kuna, and the others took up positions to protect the Prince while defeating the enemies that were attacking. š™›š‘Ÿš‘’eš˜øš‘’š—Æš˜Æš—¼š˜ƒel.š’„š’m

An unplanned, sloppy plan for The Resistance. They have several top-notch fighters and even more soldiers to help them.

It was easy enough to protect the Prince without hurting him.

Aria interrogated one of the men she has captured.

ā€œWhy do you want to overthrow the nation so badly? Come on, you guys. Who else is lurking out there?ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦Like Iā€™d answer, stoopidā€

ā€œHow long can you endure this game?

Aria pulls up hard on the arm behind the man. With a little more force, the man cracks open his mouth too easily.

ā€œArghhhā€¦!!! Theyā€™re gone! They all went to the forest and never came back!!ā€

ā€œYouā€™re such a coward. ā€¦ā€¦ I mean, how could you know me and my master were there and still thinking you could assassinate the Prince?ā€

ā€œWe also thought that itā€™s impossibleā€¦ but our leader said, ā€œDo It!ā€

ā€œWhere is your leader?ā€

ā€œThereā€

The man turned to the bearded man, the first one he defeated. He was handcuffed by the soldiers and was already incapable of defiance.

ā€œFire magic was a little strong, but I guess I got carried awayā€

ā€œWeā€™ve thwarted their plans, havenā€™t we? We should be happy, right, Aria-san?ā€

Kuna asked, and Aria nodded her head in satisfaction.

ā€œKuna, Punini, and Elder. Thank you for all your help. Iā€™m going to go to Shion now. What about you guys?ā€

ā€˜Iā€™m coming with you! Because I love Shion!ā€™

Punini is jumping up and down energetically. I love him too, she thought inwardly, but without saying it out loud, Aria smiled.

The Prince is safe. Few of the soldiers are injured. The Resistance is almost completely destroyed.

Everything is fine. Now all she has to do is chase after Zion and Haku.

Just as she was about to let her guard down, disaster struck as if it were trying to catch her off guard.

ā€œWhatā€™s that? Donā€™t tell me thatā€™s a meteor?ā€

Kuna looked pale as the object fell from the azure sky. Lineria was the first to notice that it was not a natural phenomenon.

ā€œDonā€™t tell meā€¦ Meteoā€”ā€”ā€

ā€”ā€”BOOM!!

The meteorite that fell a short distance away from where everyone has destroyed the buildings of the Imperial Capital in a matter of moments. Screams can be heard from everywhere, and at the same time, it seemed that the non-attributed magic Meteor had been used again.

It is a very powerful and difficult magic to learn. It is a very powerful magic that is difficult to learn, and Lineria was astonished that there was a being who could unleash it continuously.

To make things even more desperate, a rift suddenly appeared in the sky above the Imperial Capital, and a black space spread out from it. Dozens, if not hundreds, of demons, emerged from inside.

ā€œWait a minute! Is this also your plan!?ā€

When Aria strained her voice, the man in captivity shook his head quickly and denied it. She could tell that he was not lying from the fact that he was also astonished. In the first place, if there is an existence that can use magic such as Meteor, there is no need for a sneaky surprise attack like the one that happened earlier.

ā€œSomebody, somebody help me!ā€

The flying demons are attacking the Imperial Capital from the sky. Or, more precisely, the people who live there.

On this day, the Imperial Capital of the Kingdom of Valenciu fell at the hands of the Demon Tribe.
