Chapter 74: Fall of The Imperial Capital

It’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.

“Kyaaa——!!!”

“Linen-sama!!!”

“Haha! Everyone, thanks for coming!”

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 everyone’s eyes are glazed over. The king had ordered the soldiers to be extra vigilant this time.

“Look at this, Aria! Look at how popular I am! Is this still not enough to get you to go out with me?”

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

“I’m sorry, but I have someone else I want to go out with, so… Ohohoho. And speaking of popularity, I seem to have some too”

The people are clamoring Aria-sama, Aria-sama. If she’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.

“Now now Prince, that’s enough for jokes… please be careful. We’ll also be keeping an eye on you…”

“I know. I can handle a sword. I can protect myself alright”

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.

“For the elves over there, I really am grateful”

“No, no, no. If we could be of any help to you, it would be our pleasure. Right, Kuna?”

“Yes! I’ve made a promise to Master, and I and Punini will definitely protect the prince”

“We’re pretty strong, even though we look like this-puni”

“I see, that’s what I’m hoping for. I’ll be counting on you if something happens”

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, it’s fine.

“But they won’t be aiming for it here, as expected”

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.

‘Even If they run from the crowd, I’ll spray just spray them with poison’

“My bow is faster than yours~”

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

“Shush. The enemy may not always run straightforwardly. They could be using bows or magic”

“Oh, that’s right, …… I was so careless!”

“Well, I can’t say I don’t understand Kuna’s feelings, since you’re both here”

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.

“There’s someone in there!”

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

“Master, there’s another one on the other side. I’ll take care of this”

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.

“Seize that person!”

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.

“Ugh!?”

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.

“Oh my God, Kuna! Your bow skills and judgment sense are perfect”

“Ehehe… are you really…? I’m so happy to be complimented by you, Miss Hero!”

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.

‘Ptoo——’

“Whoa! What the—?!”

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

“Nice, Punini!”

“I’m not just a slime who watching you either-puni’

“Everyone be careful, there’s more coming!”

One after another, more than ten people at once set their sights on the Prince’s life. Aria, Kuna, and the others took up positions to protect the Prince while defeating the enemies that were attacking.

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.

“Why do you want to overthrow the nation so badly? Come on, you guys. Who else is lurking out there?”

“……Like I’d answer, stoopid”

“How 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.

“Arghhh…!!! They’re gone! They all went to the forest and never came back!!”

“You’re such a coward. …… I mean, how could you know me and my master were there and still thinking you could assassinate the Prince?”

“We also thought that it’s impossible… but our leader said, “Do It!”

“Where is your leader?”

“There”

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

“Fire magic was a little strong, but I guess I got carried away”

“We’ve thwarted their plans, haven’t we? We should be happy, right, Aria-san?”

Kuna asked, and Aria nodded her head in satisfaction.

“Kuna, Punini, and Elder. Thank you for all your help. I’m going to go to Shion now. What about you guys?”

‘I’m coming with you! Because I love Shion!’

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.

“What’s that? Don’t tell me that’s a meteor?”

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

“Don’t tell me… Meteo——”

——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.

“Wait a minute! Is this also your plan!?”

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.

“Somebody, somebody help me!”

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.
