Prince Adill was at the door " My queen. "

Annabelle : hey . You asked to be seen ?

Adill ; the army is almost ready to strike . We can launch an attack in the next 5 days.

Annabelle: I see.

Adill ; lady Hailarose would be following us ?

Annabelle: not sure. But if you have any difficulties do tell her. It's her job to resolve it.

" Prince Redward is outside seeking an audience. " The servant came in to say.

Annabelle nods.

Redward came in " Queen. Oh. Adill. You're here. "

Adill ; I am in charge of military .

Redward: well , have you heard of it yet ?

Adill ; about?

Redward: lady Hailarose was at Miyarn. It seems she struck some kind of accord.

Adill ; what kind ?

Redward: Polusia asked for help from Miyarn. They rejected to help Polusia.

Adill : even if they might be next ?

Redward: I guess they're just not scared... Or... There was some kind of exchange.

Annabelle: what exchange?

Redward: there's this going around. Apparently it's promised that they won't interfere as long as we don't fight them.

Adill ; we didn't promise that.

Redward: well.... Hailarose seem to did. That she could convince the Queen.

Annabelle: where did you hear it from ?

Redward: bought some interesting news from The Old Intelligence.

Adill : Polusia is easy to take now either ways.

Annabelle: I got it. Go down.

The both them bows and leaves.

Annabelle ; call me Ecker.

________________________________

Ecker was also a prince but he didn't hold much power like the other two princes did. He worked holding onto the royal guard battalion.

Ecker : you summoned me ? Queen

Annabelle: I bought some news off The Vines. They said a god has to be bound by rules here too.

Ecker ; I don't understand.

Annabelle: are you afraid of gods ? Maybe try killing one, are you scared ?

Ecker : I may die doing that. But... If that's your order...

Annabelle: you've always been the loyal one. Following my orders to the letter. If the other grandchildren are like you.

Ecker: thank you for the praise .

Annabelle: they said that they cannot mass murder using god powers. But they would have normal people powers. You can kill a normal people.

Ecker ; a god with limited powers... I don't think it's still normal.

Annabelle sighed " do pass a message, I'm disappointed. Trying to do something like that behind my back. Hard for me to use someone I can't trust. Don't blame me.."

Ecker ; understood

Annabelle: how many would you be bringing ?

Ecker ; 100 would be enough

Annabelle: 3 times that. I want her corpse.

Ecker ; understand.

Juliet drops Nana at the shopping mall " I will come pick you in three hours ?"

Nana : okie. Call me. Buy more fruits ! I want juice.

" Yes Miss. " And Juliet drives off " juice... Expensive fruits to buy at the fresh produce market. Ooohh let's make jam. "

Nana enters the mall and as she walked to the centre where the fountain is, she realised it to be extremely quiet. But quickly also why.

Nana : that bitch...

Joy : this letter is for you

Yui ; me ?

Joy ; maybe it's from a friend.

Yui ; I don't have a friend that would live that long.

Joy : well. It has a location and a time. Take a look ?

Yui ; hmm... Just for curiosity. How's the magic formula coming along ?

Joy : we can't ask the gods for help ?

Yui ; not anyone I know would be crazy enough to go against the Divine's intentions.

So Yui travels to the location given via his shadows. Which was really just an open field.

" wow. You guys sent me the letter ?" He said to the 200 people surrounding him. " So The Vines ?"

" No we're not. " Ecker smoked.

Yui : hmm... I kind of teleported. One of you gentleman mind telling me where I ended up ?

Ecker: Eldrin. Mr Yui.

Yui ; and you people are....

Ecker : Here to kill you.

Yui : I can tell. You all wear the same uniform. Someone's army ?

Ecker : You will die because the Queen wants you to.

Yui ; and you are ....

Ecker: that's not important for a dying man to know isn't it ?

Yui ; just because I am alone doesn't mean I will die.

Ecker : you're just an assassin. Even how legendary you may be, there is 200 of us here. Middle level.

Yui : I see.

Can't use gods powers . 200 is over much ?

Yui : that afraid of me ? Also I don't remember doing anything to offend the Queen.

Ecker : well, your wife did.

Yui : so she's killing me to give her a warning ?

Ecker ; well... Not only you ....

________________________________

There were a few bodies on the ground in front of her.

They shivered .

Nana : you guys... Middle level right ? That's not enough to kill me.

" You're just a high level elite soldier !!"

Nana : that, yes.

" Kill !!! "

They all charged towards her again but was bounced backwards by a barrier. She reached out and grabbed one of them by the collar " you don't understand my ability." She stabs his wrist into the ground with her short blade through.

Someone breaks a wrist.

" You have a barrier ! We know that !! We just have to keep going until your barrier wears thin !! "

" That's smart. I can't have that today... " She stabs another wrist and someone else's wrist breaks.

" Voodoo magic ?"

" not quite. But you could think it of that " she slices his tendon and someone in the army has that happen to him.

" That would take you forever. We would have killed you by then."

Nana then slices off his throat , someone immediately dies the same way " I will only have to kill 100 of you. Right ?"

" Like you can hold that long."

" Well... Hera... " Her snake slithers out from her hat " we'll have to see if we can huh?"
________________________________

Two hundred of them were dead quickly.

Yui ; left you. Ecker.

Well. I cheated a little. Shadow teleportation is a god skill. Didn't want to take too long. Also, they're killing me. I'm being defensive. Not a one shot kill. Won't count as mass murder.

Ecker : it won't be easy to kill you it seems.

Yui ; where's my wife ?

Ecker ; what ?

Yui ; I won't kill you. Tell me where she is ?

Ecker : so you can save her ?

Yui : you want to die so bad ?

Ecker ; we haven't yet fought.

Yui : the one you sent to lead the force to Nana. He as good as you ?

Ecker : what ? No.

Yui ; I see. I'm the threat. Good choice. How about we both go see her then you can decide if you still want to kill me. Or us both ?

Ecker ; you're confident. She was but an elite soldier.

Yui: let's go see then.

________________________________

Yui teleports them to the entrance of the mall " oh. So quiet. I guess it has ended."

Ecker : we must have won.

Yui enters the door " Nana ? Nana . I'm here. Come out ~ "

Ecker enters next and sees all the bodies and blood on the floor " ..... she maybe dead too. "

Yui : Nana. I'm here to check on you.

Ecker : you should give up. Very very less people could survive that alone.

Then they could hear a soft crying in a corner. Both of them walked over.

" she's crying ? After ... Killing them all....?" Ecker thought.

Yui ; Nana. Nana.

She turned around and hugged him. Her face was bloodied and her hands were stained.

Yui ; who are you acting all poor thing for ?

Yui ; hurt anywhere ?

She waved as if to say it's ok.

Yui took a better look " you used Hera ?" Her snake hisses.

" good snake." He tries to rub off the bloody stains " you're all dirty. You had fun didn't you ?"

She smiled as if to give a hehe.

Nana motioned Ecker to come over. So he did. She gives him a folded piece of paper. He opens it and read " you bitch. Tried to kill me ? Just because I didn't want you to conquer Miyarn ? Want to break the deal with me because you think I'm useless ? Then , you too can say goodbye to your long life. "

Ecker : these are for the queen ?

She nodded.

Ecker : I'm here to kill both of you , you know.

Yui ; best if you send that message first. You can always bring more people. I will even come again to where you ask me to go.

Ecker looked to Nana.

Yui : don't try. You'll have to kill me before you kill her. Do you have sure confidence you can kill me even ?
