Chapter 289: Once Upon A Time, The Red Queen
All the butlers entered the room and everyone froze in place. Their master’s body fell to the ground, his blood, bones, and brains spilling onto a luxurious carpet.
The young girl shifted her gaze towards them, her faces covered with blood stains, lit by her glowing orange eyes.
The young girl opened her mouth slightly, forming a whisper that resonated in everyone’s heads.
"Voracity"
That night, the 7th Prince of Ambrosia and everyone in his mansion disappeared out of nowhere. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Some passers-by in the nearby street claimed to have heard screams of terror, fading into oblivion after a few minutes.
The next day, some nobles came to the prince’s house, just a routine visit for business.
They spent many minutes at the entrance, fretting against the gate of the mansion, but no one came to greet them.
"That’s strange... hey, could someone jump over and open it?"
One of their acolytes, an emissary, easily jumped over the barrier and opened the portal to everyone;
The doors to the mansion were wide open, adding even more worry to the situation, and once they entered the mansion, their fears were confirmed.
Body parts, burn marks on the furniture, puddles, and blood stains everywhere.
Revulsed and terrified, they rushed out of the mansion, but someone was waiting for them at the entrance.
Dressed in a white dress, the girl gave them a blank gaze. The men placed themselves behind their emissaries, it was only a girl, there was nothing to fear, but their instinct shouted to them that death was before them.
"Why did you come to me... if you knew you would run away?"
"...Monster...a monster!"
The doors closed and another massacre took place.
The days passed in the same pattern, the circle of death stretching across the garden.
Corpses were scattered in every corner, the stench of death filled the air.
In every room of the mansion, there was at least one corpse, except for the one where the girl had decided to stay.
After cleaning it carefully, she lay down on her bed and immersed herself in the world of fairy tales.
Charybdis made her body invincible, so she didn’t even need to exert any effort.
She spent her days reading and killing anyone who came her way.
It had become her routine and she felt better with time.
Life was getting easier, her powers allowed her to do whatever she wanted, and the list of what she wanted kept growing with time.
One day, her actions became famous in the city and the kingdom assembled a group of elite emissaries to capture her.
Around 88 of the kingdom’s most powerful emissaries surrounded the mansion.
Armed with all kinds of weapons, they constituted the strongest wall of Ambrosia.
The door opened, revealing the girl with a book in her hand.
She gave him a disinterested look, ignoring the aura emerging everywhere.
"Hm... it’s like in Princess of Light... but I thought I was the princess, not the Dragon."
Her eyes shone brightly and, with a step, she greeted her audience.
This day marked a change in the world. Ambrosia, one of the last kingdoms struggling to be a monarchy in the face of the rebellion of its people against the nobility, sees the disappearance of the most powerful emissaries constituting its main forces.
She was an anomaly, she had too many skills, too many immunities and she was never tired.
Everyone in the capital knew that there was a monster living in the mansion and they knew exactly what she looked like.
Her parents only intervened when the knights entered their mansion, associating the girl with them.
The area had been evacuated for the final attack to take down the mansion monster.
All the knights and emissaries of the kingdom were heading towards the manor.
They were less strong than the 88 main emissaries, but there were more than a thousand of them.
The girl’s parents were there too, their fists tied, tears in their eyes.
They reached a bridge, the last frontier before the district where the monster lived, but they did not need to go any further, because the devil was already there.
Everyone remained silent, intrigued by the appearance of the most wanted person, too far from his lair.
There she was, in the middle of the bridge, holding a few fairy tale books, wearing a beautiful white dress.
"G...Gloria? Gloria, why did you do that?! Why did you do that to us??!"
"Dear, please tell them we have nothing to do with you! Tell them! You did this all by yourself, don’t make us suffer for you!"
They screamed with all their hearts, falling to their knees, everyone around them preparing for the fight to come.
"It stinks."
Their gazes returned to her, frozen by the indifference in her gaze.
"The mansion stinks, I can’t read like this, I have to change houses."
Her gaze turned to the city behind the army, more precisely to a specific building.
"A royal castle...that’s where fairy tales take place. I want to stay there."
An arrow hit her in the chest. One of the people who lost a family member in the attack could no longer contain her emotion.
Everyone exchanged trash, it should have been a call to war, but the girl barely reacted.
She removed the arrow from her chest and examined it.
"It didn’t work, I don’t even feel the pain, but it pierced me... It’s more than the clowns before."
She looked at the crowd and her eyes went straight to the person who shot the arrow.
"Isn’t the strongest already here? If there is someone stronger than you, bring them here, I want to confirm something."
She stepped forward, her eyes shining. The emissaries backed away, her parents began to tremble.
The girl joined them and they clung to her knees.
"Please! Please stop this now! Listen to your parents!"
"Tell them we’re innocent! You’re the one doing this!"
She stopped moving, raising an eyebrow.
"Of course, I’m the one doing this. If someone wants to stop me, then why not do it?"
"...Dear."
Her body began to glow, stronger than ever, to the point of blinding everyone.
"I am no one’s dear, I am neither your slave nor your servant. I am Gloria and I am tired of wasting my time."
She clasped two fingers in front of her face.
"I will kill you one by one, if you surrender and decide to lead me to the royal castle, I will spare you."
A flash engulfed the area. On that day, a battle went down in Ambrosia’s history as the Darkest Day. Throughout the day, Gloria massacred 1028 emissaries, alongside her two parents.
The battle could be felt by every citizen, and in the royal castle everyone eagerly awaited the conclusion, but when Gloria appeared at the gates, they understood that it was a disaster.
"I don’t want to destroy this place, if you want to die, come outside, so I can kill you. If you surrender, I will let you live."
Many people opposed her vehemently, with great conviction and determination.
They all met death, knights, dukes, maids, butlers, guests, the corpses of everyone were lined up in the garden.
At night, the king himself came out, facing Gloria, he clenched his fists and threw out the last hope for his kingdom.
"...Please...I submit, you can kill me, but please spare my children."
Gloria’s empty eyes come to life for the first time without reading a book.
"Hm, you sound like the heroes in my book... Since you are the first to submit, I will spare your life."
In one day, the Kingdom of Ambrosia lost a war against a single enemy. Gloria entered the castle and established her base there.
She sat on the throne and, with the king as her messenger, she forced him to rule the kingdom as she wanted.
As expected, many neighboring countries objected, but none of the people they sent to her returned alive.
Gloria was absolute, but still far from her peak.
This reign lasted for years and, with the massacres she committed from time to time, she became feared throughout the world.
She was stronger than anyone at that time, she had too many types of power.
One day, the nations of the world joined forces to defeat a monster whose ascension to the throne would be a bad sign for their country.
They constituted a gigantic army facing a single individual.
The battle took place in a kingdom west of Ambrosia, as Gloria did not want to destroy her new home.
50,000 top emissaries against a single person, and later it became 50,000 bodies.
As punishment, Gloria entered the Kingdom and genocided everyone in the capital.
She later decided that this kingdom would become part of Ambrosia and that would be the fate of anyone who opposed her.
Some realized that fighting her would be a terrible mistake, she was just a young woman with little knowledge, and the little knowledge she gained was that no one could stop her, and she was becoming even stronger.
At that time, her wish was to make her fairytale world a reality, so she built the kingdom with this approach.
She decided that the royal capital would be at the center of the kingdom and the inhabitants gathered their resources to make the city a dreamland.
She decided that the countryside should be populated by poor peasants and the people ceded their property to the nobles.
She built a world to make nobles unpleasant, but if one of them annoyed her, she would erase them.
She loved the royal families in the books, so she decided to keep the King, Queen and 1st Prince alive and forced them to rule as she wished.
She eliminated the prince’s siblings because she didn’t want a rivalry story.
No one opposed it, no one liked it, everyone knew they were just pawns.
This was not their kingdom, but her fantasy. One day, as Charybdis had brought her body to its peak, she returned for the final phase of awakening.
She expected to find a broken sheep, waiting to die, but what she saw was a demon sitting on top of the world.
She lived with her for a long time, waiting to find a weakness.
It was around this time that she heard about a player about to be executed. She didn’t really care, but she still didn’t like that her world could allow an execution, especially if she was not the author of the execution.
It was her world, so she ordered them to bring her to her castle and she allowed her to live.
Finally, one day, Charybdis decided to attack in her sleep.
She activated the system and approached her, hiding her presence as much as possible.
Her hand reached for her head, but Gloria’s mouth glowed red.
Unknown to the world, a gigantic battle began that night, bringing Charybdis and Gloria to another dimension.
At dawn, while walking in the castle, Midgard encountered the Queen emerging from a pentagram.
The moment she felt her power and saw her facial expression, she gave up her will to oppose her.
She understood better than anyone that nothing could be done now.
She reigned for more than 80 years, without ever leaving her castle, then one day, while the nobles were complaining about the new king, deemed too lazy and weak-minded, she organized a meeting with all the nobles to give them a warning.
No matter who was on the throne, who was a slave, or what animal was running through a forest, she was the one who would be behind.
It was the story of the Red Queen, the ghost who never aged.
