True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 290 Tournament XX - First Shock



"Great work Luna, it was the right choice to focus all my mana on one single point and block it from entering my body," Velian muttered as he looked at Hannah, whose face was disfigured in pain because he knew this flame was harmless for her physical body, but internally she was burning even faster than a normal flame.

[That\'s right master, you\'re lucky at least I have brains to deal with things like this, rely on me more often, I\'m bored here looking at you always pounding women]

"..."

"Why are you suddenly getting talkative? You really can\'t stay in your character aren\'t you?"

Velian thought but he didn\'t get any answer.

Leaving Luna to self-appreciate her seriousness, Velian kept grabbing Hannah without showing any shred of mercy while Juno and Delviny supported Naomi.

"Mother, make sure everyone gets treatment, if they are dead freeze them, we will hand over their bodies to their families after a ceremony to respect their death," Daphnia nodded her head and went from one body to another.

Some of them didn\'t have hands or heads, so it was hard for her to identify them. Unlike other noble ladies, she was rather used to seeing blood and bodies like this so she really didn\'t feel sick or anything.

Instead, she felt sad because this group had some kids she personally trained.

"Rest in peace, my students," Daphnia muttered and freeze the bodies.

Meanwhile, Velian kept grabbing her along the road, until he walked into the prison. He made sure the common people of this town don\'t see this so they won\'t cause any problems, but it was unavoidable as guards saw Velian carrying something that looked hideous.

He knew these guards were loyal, but at the same time he knew unless he tell them not to do something, they will do it.

"Whatever, it\'s not like I need to hide these things," Sariya and Elda were already waiting for Velian with Aiko and Lyra telling them not to worry.

As soon as they noticed Velian, they came to hug him but seeing this body which had no arms or limbs they quickly jumped back with disgusted faces.

"Aiko, go and tell the head of the mage unto to open the new cells we built, and Lyra help me here," Velian said to which all of them agreed.

"Veli, is everything alright?" Sariya questioned since her curiosity took the best of her and Velian had to tell her the truth.

"No way! All those people," She felt sad hearing that the people Naomi trained died in the battle and Naomi herself was heavily injured.

"I\'m going to see her now, before that I need to personally put her in prison, so she won\'t escape,"

He knew since only he had the flames, he needed to stay close to Hannah so she won\'t try to do something absurd again.

It took them a good amount of time to imprison her because there were a lot of security levels, they had to bypass through, but the ultimate prison was under all these levels so no one was able to escape there.

"Just in case, I will leave these flame arrows, if she tries to escape, shoot her head, don\'t show any mercy," He ordered the specially trained soldiers under him.

They served Velian directly, so most of them were equally talented like a vice-commander of the Kelleros army.

After that, Velian went to see Naomi with a heavy heart followed by all the other girls. As soon as he entered the room, where she was getting her treatment, he saw Naomi lying on the bed with eyes close and wounds all over her body.

And next to her was Aurora, who was experiencing the first shock and sadness she had to witness.

As Aurora stood there, tears streaming down her face, she couldn\'t help but feel helpless. She watched as one of her mothers, Naomi, lay unconscious, receiving treatment. Aurora had never seen any of her mothers injured before, and it was a scary experience for the young girl.

"Mommy," Aurora whispered as she reached out to touch Naomi\'s hand. "Wake up."

Velian, Aurora\'s father, approached her with a concerned expression on his face. He knew how hard it was for Aurora to see Naomi like this, but he didn\'t know what to say to make it better.

"Aurora," Velian said as he wrapped his arms around her.

"It\'s going to be okay. Your mother is strong, she\'ll pull through."

Aurora buried her face in Velian\'s chest, her sobs growing louder.

"I don\'t know what I\'ll do without her, Daddy," she cried.

Aurora grew rather fast, so her vocabulary also increased rather fast as she absorbed everything her mothers taught her like a dry sponge.

Velian held Aurora close, letting her cry on his shoulder. He knew that Naomi was not the only mother Aurora had, but he also knew that the bond between them was special.

As Velian comforted Aurora, another figure appeared in the doorway. It was Velian\'s other wife, Sariya and behind her was Elda.

"What happened? Is she okay?" Sariya asked as she approached the group.

"It looks bad, but with her power, it won\'t be life-threatening," Velian explained. "We\'re waiting for her to wake up."

Sariya nodded, placing a hand on Aurora\'s back. "It\'s going to be okay, darling," she said softly. "We\'re all here for you."

Aurora looked up at Sariya, her tears still flowing. "Thank you," she whispered.

The group stood there in silence, waiting for news on Naomi\'s condition. As they waited, Aurora clung to Velian and Sariya, finding comfort in their presence.

And Elda patted her head with care showing her concern.

At that moment, Aurora realized just how lucky she was to have so many mothers who loved her. And she knew that no matter what happened, they would always be there for her, just as they were now.

As time went on Daphnia also returned after doing her duty, and the military surrounded the Baron\'s mansion, so citizens won\'t be able to access there.

"Looks like we have some extra work," Delviny and Juno both looked at each other, as they knew this problem won\'t stop from there.
