Rise of the Legendary Emperor

Chapter 95: A Mistake

While the three of them were fighting, Irvin wanted to gain some distance from them and cast a powerful spell to kill Arrora but he couldn't move to be clear his body refused to like something invisible force stopping him.

Although Peggy and Sabrina were just peak level masters it was clear that they had great training as their movement speed almost matched the speed of a mid-level great master. Finally, after trying to land a hit on Arrora, Sabrina's spiked gloves slightly touched Arrora's coat while Arrora was evading their blows.

The moment Arrora felt Sabrina's gloves touched her coat, she stopped moving and looked at her coat,

"You!!!" Arrora's breathing became heavier and heavier while Sabrina and Peggy were forced to stay without being able to move.

"You are so dead"

Peggy and Sabrina had no idea why she was suddenly so furious because they didn't even scratch her.

But soon they realized what they have done when they saw Arrora showing them a tiny tier in her dress

"I just got this dress" Arrora showed a tiny tear in her coat which was caused by Sabrina.

With bloodshot eyes, Arrora walked towards Sabrina and Peggy who was just standing there without being able to move.

"Ah" Sabrina coughed up blood as she was being punched in the guts rapidly by Arrora.

Don could hear Sabrina's rib cage breaking but Arrora seemed not to care at all, Sabrina was unable to keep her eyes opened and before her eyes fully closed Arrora changed her target and started to beat Peggy just like she did to Sabrina

"My lord please ask her to stop" a waitress came forwards and requested Don but he had his salad to finish

While Arrora was mercilessly beating Peggy, Dan was casting another powerful spell to attack Arrora

"Leave them alone!!" hearing Dan's shout Arrora stopped punching Peggy and turned her gaze towards him

"Let's see, which is faster, your spell or my sword" Arrora put her sword on Peggy's throat.

"That's what I thought," Arrora said when she saw Dan withdrawing himself from casting any spells, using sword's hilt Arrora hit Peggy's face so hard that Peggy dropped to the ground unconscious

"You! I told you I'm not interested" Arrora walked away from the two girls and put her one leg on Irvin's chest

"Please don't kill him," as said Dan slowly stepped towards Arrora while putting his hand above his head

"Kill this bitch Dan" Irvin said with great pain as he was being crushed by Arrora's leg.

"You've already killed Bobby and beat these two" Dan looked at Bobby or his parts and the two girls on the ground

"Pride and Honor! is that a joke?" Arrora snickered when she saw the motto on Irvin's badge

"Brother please tell her to let us go, you are already neck deep in trouble by attacking us" Dan looked at Don who was still eating his salad like nothing happening before him but when he heard Dan, Don put his salad on the table

"Oh?"

"yes, we are disciples of the Redland Academy"

Hearing Dan the crowd watching the scene started to murmur

"What's your name?" Don asked Dan

"Dan, Dan Richards"

"So tell me Dan Richards, I'm sure this guy" Don pointed his finger at Irvin who was still being crushed under Arrora's leg and asked

"Forced so many innocent girls using your Academy's name, am I right?"

Don's expression was neutral that Dan couldn't find he was angry or apathetic but Dan sighed and nodded his head

"Let me go" Irvin coughed as Arrora doubled her force when she saw Dan nodding

"Did you save any of those innocent girls from your friend? or at least even tried to stop him?"

The two questions pierced Dan like knives, he was a good person or at least that's what he thought about himself but now he was not sure

"No? Then you are as guilty as him" that was the last words Dan heard before everything went black

"No!!!!!! You killed him" Irvin screamed at Arrora's feet as he saw Dan's head rolling beside him and his headless body was still dancing around the room before falling. Dan's blood dripped onto his face from Arrora's sword

"You are dead bitch!! you two are DEAD!!!! " Arrora had enough of Irvin's scream and she raised her sword to finish him off but the moment her sword reached closer to Irvin, Irvin's body started to shine and the light became brighter and brighter.

Standing so close to the light Arrora closed her eyes and felt immobilized,

Arrora struggled to free herself from the invisible force but the light suddenly exploded and it was aimed at Arrora.

The explosion's sheer force destroyed half of the Royal Dine's building and luckily the people seemed alive except few bruises and wounds

After a few moments, the dust slowly settled down and everyone gazed at where Arrora was standing but they didn't find her. Instead, they saw a box-like structure made of earth and woods.

One of the surfaces of the box which faced in the direction of the blast was damaged and when everyone thought that what happened, the box crumbled and revealed the woman they expected to die standing there without even a scratch.

Noticing she's still in the mortal world Arrora exhaled and looked at Don,

"Thank you" she knew it was him who saved her from the blast

"Come on let's go before any more surprises" Don wiped his mouth with a white cloth before him and put a couple of golds coins on the table and said

Arrora sheathed her sword and followed him avoiding all the debriefs to the outside.

The people in the restaurant sighed and relieved seeing saw Don and Arrora leaving the place regardless of the matter that they just survived an explosion

"Next time when you fight, try to finish off quickly," Don said after stepping out of the building

"What are you talking about? I was dragging till you finish your salad" Arrora frowned and said

"I was eating slowly till you finish the fight," Don said while walking towards the city gates

"What?!

Arrora stood there in shock for a moment while Don walking away from her,

"They were teleported, weren't they?" Arrora came running and asked Don

"Yes, you should change your face and clothes"

Don was glad he had Arrora change her face before coming to Virnam, if not it would be less hard to find him and Arrora.

Thinking about the reaction of people when Dan mentioned Redland Academy plus the spell that was used to attack Arrora and teleported the trio showed the power and reputation of the Redland Academy. For a time being Don decided to avoid meddling with anything related to Redland Academy or even stepping into their location.

"Oh and take a bath" hearing Don Arrora smelled her sleeves a bit before frowning again

"Yep I reek blood and cheese"

***********************************

"Princess Darlene, King Don has arrived" Darlene was reading a book when she heard one of the maids of Warren interrupted her.

Darlene didn't quickly leave her room but she went to the balcony and watched the soldiers lining up to welcome their king. Warren was also waiting on the entrance for Don.

The moment Don and Arrora reached the capital, Emir's spies informed his arrival to Warren in a flash and it showed the effectiveness of the spy network in Emir.

The soldiers of Emir respected a strong king and Don showed his power by controlling a full explosion before their eyes and it had got Don's the same respect as Warren. Besides the help from Everlight like giving foods and some supplies helped numerous common people and because of his order to abolish slavery increased Don's reputation among the other races.

It was true that many living outside the capital didn't know Don very well and yet a notable percentage of people in the capital did not accept Don as their true king even after everything that Don had done for them.

Don realized his mistake of crowning Warren as the king of Emir and then having him swore his loyalty towards his people, but he knew it was not the time to dwell in the past and decided to be the king himself when conquering kingdoms from now on.

Don had to make mistakes and evolve since he had no experience in politics or being a king. He and Knight were cold-blooded rogue cultivators in the divine Continent and if it comes to stealing or killing without leaving evidence or surviving in a world full of killers, Don and Knight were specialists but both of them needed to learn about being the rulers.

At first, Don thought that crowning someone native to the kingdom as the king and then making that person follow Don would get him the support of the people but after hearing the reports from Joel, Don understood that people would follow and obey a king who's there with them, for example, the people of Emir eventually forgot about Don and believe Warren as their true king because they won't see or hear about Don often or they couldn't see Don as they could with Warren.

However, the good news was a percentage of people felt grateful to Don and loved him especially the families of the soldiers and the families of the people Don saved from the explosion which he set for the greater good.

From the balcony, Darlene had a partial view of what's happening on the entrance and even though Darlene would not call this a crowd, all the people on the ground seemed to cheer and adore Don from their hearts.

Turning back from the balcony Darlene fixed her dress and hair

"Time to meet the king, Princess"
