The Queen Wicked Deeds - Chapter 110
“Moira!”
The shameless knights of Eylos tried to kill James.
They were not using fake swords, even when the school didn’t allow the use of real weapons inside the premises. However, it seemed that they didn’t care at all, how brave of them to go against the regulations of the Academy and the Kingdom of Lith.
Therefore, they will have to face the consequences for their impudence.
“Ahhh!”
Suddenly, the body of the impudent knight crashed into a strong tree with a hard kick and a footprint on the stomach. He couldn’t believe it as he widened his eyes in surprise and fear.
“Who… how is this…?”
His words were cut short when the same person who engraved him in wood was walking to his side. Soft black hair, red bright eyes combining with her beautiful red long dress. A beautiful young girl with a terrifying aura.
“What… what are you doing? Attack her!” he shouted to the other knights as he feared for his life. “Kill her!”
The other soldiers were still in awe, but they quickly reacted to the voice of their commander. However, not many seconds later, three more soldiers were thrown to the same tree before losing consciousness.
‘Weaklings,’ Moira muttered as she walked towards their bodies. ‘So weak.”
“Don’t come near me… stay away!”
She kneeled towards the stupid man that had wanted to teach a lesson to her fiancé. Then she made a signal with her hand and the cute black Shadow appeared from behind the bushes. She was carrying a small basket in her mouth.
“Wha… what is that?” the knight was trembling nonstop seeing the little cat approach him. “What are you going to do to me?”
Moira didn’t answer but took a little package from the basket. It seemed like a little muffin of chocolate with a little cherry on the top.
She gave it to him. ‘Eat it.’
The Knight frowned but seeing her ċȧrėssing her sword threatening her neck made him comply faster. However, he somehow felt that the little chocolate muffin was even worse than the sword on her hands.
James and Collin watched the scene from behind with a horizontal line in their mouths. They had never known that she would use such a weapon on this battlefield. They felt pity for the poor soldier about to experience the worst kind of torture.
*Boom*
That was the soldier’s body jumping to the sky from the effects of the muffin.
“Just what did she put inside…?”
“Don’t ask,” James said while gulping.
“Are you okay?” Collin was waiting for the soldiers of his father to be defeated before moving with the rest of the contest. However, he never knew that they would be so vicious.
James frowned and looked at his arms. He was injured, though, it was not threatening.
“I will be fine.”
“Let me help,” Collin offered, but before he could cast a healing spell, he saw something coming from afar. “Hide!”
Moira took James on her back and Collin followed to the back of some trees.
“Who are them?” James whispered with sweat on his forehead.
The rush made his injuries open more, making him fret in pain.
“They are…” Collin narrowed his eyes, “ghost soldiers from Feirn… maybe from another contestant.”
James didn’t know about the details of the strange tournament going on, but he knew that his friends were on it. Later, he will make Moira tell him, but now he could only follow the flow.
‘Stay hidden,’ Moira said as he ċȧrėssed James’ face. ‘I will be right back.’
She gave Collin a glance and then jumped into the tree. Even with her beautiful red dress, she had the agility to follow those guys.
“Heal me,” James whispered to Collin.
“You cannot follow her,” the golden fish said while casting the healing spell on James’ body, “they are several times stronger than you.”
“I know, but…”
“Let’s go to the Princess tower.”
Collin helped James stand up, however, before they could move to the main entrance of the tower. The sudden voice of the Princess echoed in between the trees.
“Knights, and fellow contenders, I know you are there waiting to gain the first and most amazing victory of this strange tournament.”
The voice of Anne resounded in the beautiful gardens of the Academy.
“I have something to tell you and I hope you can hear me and pay careful attention.”
The ones fighting stopped their swords and magic balls, the fire on the flowers and trees died down with the rain and the students of the Academy didn’t know anything as they were still enchanted.
“You will never win… I had to tell you that before your hopes grow stronger, muahahahaha, the victory is mine and only mine. And… you are surrounded.”
Her words came as a strange and ominous feeling to the people inside the garden. Then a sudden barrier enclosed the gardens with a soft white light.
“Now, let the game begin. Losers”

[Beth…
Two weeks, Beth, the heiress to the empire of Master Hesse, had been missing for two entire weeks without any trace of her whereabouts.
There were no calls for ramson, not even a signal of where she went after leaving the Mansion that day.
“Where is she?!”
Grandpa Hesse was having a difficult time calming himself. Even with all his power and resources, he hadn’t found a clue.
“How can she disappear without leaving a clue… are you telling me that somehow she vanished from earth?!”
The captain of the team he hired to find her was sweating in fear. He had never seen the old man showing that much anger before.
“We had made a throughout research, Master, we can’t locate her, nor even the cameras on the outside had an image of her.”
“How is that…?”
“We don’t know, she had been in her room and hadn’t stepped outside.”
“How is that possible…” he whispered, but his heart condition was no good, and he fainted.
“Master!”
Meanwhile, in a faraway warehouse in the north of the country, a beautiful young girl with soft red hair was sleeping in a small bed. The room was not the same as the Hesse family rooms, but it was cozy enough to keep her warm.
“Beth… you should wake up, dear.”
The voice of an old woman interrupted Beth’s sleep. The same old woman that had taken care of her since the moment she was taken to the north by that man.
“Mr. Hill…” Beth sat on her bed, but still, she was shaking. “Can you turn on the heater?”
“Oh… yes, my dear, it keeps turning off on its own, I guess is breaking.”
The old woman was a caring and gentle madam, she didn’t allow the ones taking Beth there to hit her. Even if they were threatened to kidnap her, she was not fond of mistreating the lovely young girl she once served.
It was a shame that they were in need of money and the chance presented to them a few weeks ago. If it were not desperate, they wouldn’t recur to go through that shameless method.
“When are you going to let me go?”
Beth looked at the woman and asked again. She had been asking the same question for the two weeks they had kept her inside.
“Don’t you worry, my dear,” Mrs. Hill said as she left the tray with several hot dishes in the nearby table, “you will leave safe in this place.”
“Who is making you do this, Mrs. Hill?”
“My lovely girl, you know I can’t tell you.”
“Why? Grandpa had been very generous with you and your husband, why are you doing this?” Beth’s eyes filled with little tears.
“I know, and I will ask for forgiveness the rest of my life, but…” Mrs. Hill looked outside the window. “We had no choice.”
She said and walked to the door. “Be good, little Beth.”
She closed the door again with a key and the cute crying face Beth returned to her past self. Her gold eyes were serene and calm as if she were not a kidnapped girl.
The food on the table looked warm, however, she was reluctant to eat that. Even if Mrs. Hill managed to save her from being hit, Beth knew that the food was poisoned.
After three or four times eating it, she had been throwing up in pain. However, the cruel old woman kept bringing that food.
Do they want to torture her until she is dead?
Beth knew that something must have happened for them to treat her that way. It was cruel. It was a deep grudge against her grandpa.
However, for now, she could only wait. She knew that there was a camera in the corner of the room and that she couldn’t make suspicious moves, or they will come.
“I am sleepy,” she whispered and entered the small bed covers again. At least in her dreams, she could be happy thinking of Henry.]
