Volume 2 + Chapter 131: You Look So Good When You’re Filial
The dagger pierced through Arland’s chest, blood flowing out and staining his clothes crimson.
He never would have thought that he would be backstabbed by his own son.
“Oba, what are you doing!!” Arland turned around, wanting to knock Oba down.
But he had already suffered a heavy blow and couldn’t pose any threat to Oba at all. He was easily dodged.
“Father, what are you talking about? I’ve always been following your teachings. The important thing is to protect one’s own interests first, right?”
“How did I… raise such a… beast!”
Arland collapsed in a pool of blood, full of unwillingness.
“Father, our Elvin family’s bloodline is about to end here. Why don’t you make a small sacrifice and let me live so that I can at least continue the bloodline?”
Oba walked to his father’s side and pulled out the dagger.
“Don’t you have any… guilt…”
“Guilt? Father, you’ve always taught me to abandon such meaningless things, otherwise one can’t accomplish anything,” Oba retorted, “How come I’ve never seen a hint of guilt from you?”
“You damn beast, I should have… never sired you… ah!!”
Arland’s anger attacked his heart, further accelerating his death.
Now he was beyond saving.
“Father, don’t move. For the sake of you raising me for many years, let me fulfill my filial duty one last time and send you on your way faster.”
“Beast, I curse you!! I curse you!!”
In his final moments, Arland gave up on the possibility of living… Under extreme resentment and anger, he chose to release the Dragon Curse, making a final struggle as he pounced towards Oba.
Oba didn’t dodge either. He faced it head-on, this time plunging the dagger into Arland’s chest, piercing his heart and ending his father’s life, while the scorching dragon blood carrying the curse splattered all over him.
“What a meaningless act. We’re both dragons, what effect can the curse have?” Oba said disdainfully, wiping the blood off his face.
After killing his biological father, he didn’t feel any guilt… Instead, he felt it didn’t matter, thinking Arland was useless… If it weren’t for his foolish decision to make an enemy of the Silver Dragon Princess, how could they have ended up like this?
“You forced me to do this.”
Oba coldly pushed away Arland’s corpse and raised his head to look at the magic surveillance.
……
Led by Thousand Kills, Xia Yi and Serra arrived at the secret shelter built by Arland.
Along the way, they encountered many magic traps.
Those traps had no effect at all on Serra. She used her dragon scales to defend and forcefully took them head-on, violently dismantling them as she advanced.
This stupefied Thousand Kills.
If it were her, she would have to be very careful and spend a lot of time dismantling them… If she got caught in even one of the traps, she might not be able to handle it.
Although she also understood that there was a significant gap between her and Serra, this was too astonishing.
Ding ding ding!
Serra’s high heels stepped on a mechanism. The surrounding walls revealed pre-set magic arrays which aimed scorching flames at her, firing simultaneously, raising a cloud of dust.
Boom!
Thousand Kills covered her cheeks. After the dust settled, Serra stood in place without a single injury.
“Princess, the magic traps here have all been triggered. We can proceed.” Serra said.
“Thank you for your hard work, Serra.” Xia Yi replied.
“It’s just part of my duties.”
“Um… are you okay?”
Thousand Kills ran to Serra’s side and asked in a low voice.
“Miss Thousand Kills, what are you referring to?” Serra expressed confusion.
“I mean, you’re not hurt, are you?”
“Oh, please don’t worry about that. Magic of merely this level is not enough to injure me… If it were Fourth Tier magic, I might find it somewhat troublesome.”
“Fourth Tier?!”
Thousand Kills couldn’t help exclaiming.
Her strength was only at the Third Tier, yet Fourth Tier magic could only injure this princess’ guard.
And it sounded like even Fourth Tier magic wasn’t a big deal.
Just how strong was she?
At this moment, Thousand Kills thought to herself, humblebragging.
Fortunately, she wasn’t stubborn enough to fight them to the end back then.
It seemed the new nobles didn’t lose unjustly. The moment they made an enemy of the Silver Dragon Princess, they were destined to fail.
“Miss Serra, since you’re so strong, why didn’t you eliminate the new nobles from the start?”
Out of respect for the strong, Thousand Kills’ tone changed.
“If that were the case, it would be meaningless. It must be Her Highness leading the people of Corolle to overthrow the new nobles. Only then would it have important significance.”
“Significance?”
Thousand Kills didn’t quite understand, but it sounded impressive.
Xia Yi stopped in front of a door and looked at Thousand Kills, “It should be here, right?”
“Yes, Princess. Arland and Oba are hiding in the space behind this door.” Thousand Kills nodded.
“Then let’s go in and meet them.”
……
Thud!
The door was opened.
The three walked into the room and saw the chaos inside, the bloodstains on the floor, and lying on the ground was… Arland Elvin?
“Princess, you’ve finally come!!”
As soon as Oba saw Xia Yi, he bowed respectfully.
“Oba?” Xia Yi was surprised.
Serra and Thousand Kills were speechless.
“Princess, the head of the Elvin family, Arland Elvin, has been personally dealt with by me! He committed the great crime of insulting the Royal Dragon Family. I really couldn’t stand idly by. For the sake of this country, I chose justice over kinship!”
Oba dragged his father’s corpse and threw it in front of Xia Yi.
“Oba, you’re really… filial.” Thousand Kills couldn’t help saying.
Oba’s cheeks twitched. Seeing this person who betrayed him again, he was furious… But for now, he could only endure and chose to ignore the sarcasm.
“Princess, this is all he deserves! I was always brainwashed by him, but at the last moment, I came to a realization. Please, spare me.”
“……” Xia Yi fell silent.
Oba became even more panicked and hurriedly said, “Arland colluded with foreign countries. With the help of the other new nobles in the New Chamber of Commerce, he secretly sold our dragons’ important resources to foreign races through special channels. He’s a traitor to dragonkind!! I’m ashamed to be his son!! Princess, I know where the records of his criminal transactions and the list of involved personnel are kept. As long as you give me a chance to prove my innocence, I’m willing to present all the evidence!”
Xia Yi still didn’t speak.
“As long as you promise to spare me, I’ll take you to get the evidence right now!” Oba gritted his teeth and made a resolute proposal.
“Alright, I promise I won’t kill you.”
“Really?”
“Mm, really. I swear on my name as the Dragon Princess.” Xia Yi said.
“Thank you for your promise.”
Oba breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there were other people watching here… As a princess of the Royal Dragon Family, after making such a vow, there was no way she could go back on her word.
But Serra discovered that the corners of her little princess’ mouth curved up into a faint smile, that hint of a grin almost unable to conceal the mischievous meaning behind it.
Someone was about to have a really bad time.
