Capítulo 170: Chapter 169
[Third Person's PoV]
"I do not. He is by no means the man I love. And he will never come close to the one I give my heart to," Rose said with a smirk.
Everyone outside protesting and watching the projections was shocked at her words, causing them all to quiet down, curious about what she had to say next.
In the projection, which was shown to the entirety of the kingdom, Perv Asshat's surprised and anxious expression was visible. "What– What are you saying, Rose!? Are you trying to ruin this ceremony!?"
Cid watched everything with a smile, while Celeste looked toward Cid with a surprised Pikachu expression.
Asshat leaned in and angrily whispered, "What the hell are you doing? Have you forgotten I have your mother?"
Rose turned to face everyone with a serious expression. "Everyone, please listen to me! I have slain my father, your king, with my bare hands. And yet I stand here brazenly before your very eyes as if nothing happened! I have no intention of making excuses or justifying my actions. I shall shoulder your blame, my sins, and my mistakes!"
"However, what I wouldn't do is ever call this man known as Perv Asshat my husband. He simply isn't worthy," Rose said with confidence as she reached into the bouquet she was holding and pulled out a ring.
She tossed the bouquet aside as she began putting the ring on her finger. Perv Asshat had a shocked expression as he looked at the ring.
"WHY IS THAT RING IN YOUR POSSESSION!?"
"No matter what happens, I will always believe in true love!" Rose shouted passionately. As she slid the ring on her finger, it flashed a bright light that almost blinded her.
An apparition of her father manifested in front of her. "By the time you hear these words, I will no longer be in this world."
Cid looked to the side of the aisle where Rose's father was standing. Seeing his gaze, King Oriana grew a tad embarrassed. "I thought I would definitely pass over; the last thing I expected was to be turned into a spirit."
Cid just scoffed as he turned to look at the last will that King Oriana left behind.
Rose stared at the ghost of her father in surprise. "F-Father," she muttered, almost not believing what was in front of her eyes.
"By the time you all are hearing this, I will most likely not be in this world," he started.
Everyone had a shocked expression, whether it was the people by the altar or the people outside protesting. They were in the same state of disbelief as Rose.
"Soon enough, I will most likely lose my sanity, so before then, I have decided to record this message and expose the truth. Someone has been giving me drugs that have corrupted my mind, I believe in an attempt to make me their puppet.
I don't even know where the drugs are being added. I have asked my wife to change my food but to no avail, but I do know who the culprit is: it's none other than Perv Asshat."
Queen Oriana, seeing the dead king, had a worried expression that all her involvement would be exposed but sighed in relief as the king had no idea she was in cahoots with the enemy.
King Oriana then began exposing all of Perv's wrongdoings and where they could find the evidence of his crimes. All Perv could do was grit his teeth in anger as he couldn't do anything while it was all being revealed.
He finished off by saying, "Our kingdom is on the verge of falling into the hands of the mysterious organization behind Perv Asshat. Oh, how I wish I could stand up and fight for our country, but it's too late for me.
I shall leave the kingdom to my beloved daughter, whom I trust more than anyone in the world. My people, please believe in her no matter what happens; she might still be green."
'She isn't, not after I was done with her,' Cid mused to himself.
"But I am sure of this, my daughter Rose will lead this kingdom to a bright future!" King Oriana said before dissipating and fracturing into multiple pieces.
"FATHER!" Rose cried out.
Perv Asshat began to sweat as he heard the multiple whispers and judgmental gazes he was receiving. "Nonsense! Who would ever believe such lies? Guards, capture her already!"
The guards who were present just glared at him, making him grow more anxious.
"Move it already! Do you guys even know how much I'm paying you?"
A golden-purple light began to be expelled due to Rose's anger. She ripped apart her wedding dress, exposing her sword by her hip. As she slowly pulled it out, it began catching fire until it was out completely. Beautiful red and orange flames danced on the edge of her blade as she looked at Perv Asshat with hate.
"It's too late. You have manipulated our king, defiled our queen, and planned to take over the kingdom. As the Princess of the Oriana Kingdom, I shall deliver your punishment with my own two hands!" she said as her flames grew fiercer with her emotions.
Everyone watching quickly realized the real reason why Rose struck down her father. It was all to free him from being controlled.
Perv Asshat quickly snatched the sword from one of the guards and charged toward her, enhancing both his body and sword with magic.
As they clashed, Perv Asshat was surprised. "We're evenly matched! How's that possible?"
Rose simply looked at him in disgust and with contempt as she cut his sword in half before cutting his hands and then moving to his legs all in one quick motion. Blood sprayed on her white wedding dress while the blood on her blade evaporated because of her flames.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH," Perv Asshat screamed in agony as he was now limbless.
"Evenly matched? You wish," Rose scoffed as she looked at his snot-filled expression. "Now then, confess to your sins and perhaps I might find it in me to have mercy."
Cid simply leaned back in his seat and put a hand over Celeste's eyes.
Before anyone else was able to react, Perv Asshat's head came clean off his neck.
Celeste, having her eyes covered, pouted. She lifted a finger and just saw blood flying everywhere. She blinked a few times before lowering Cid's finger back in place and giving his hand a few taps to safely secure it.
"AAAAAAAH! ROSE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Queen Oriana shouted in grief.
While Sherry and Alexia's eyes widened as they barely made out what just happened, Epsilon, Victoria, and Aurora all gained serious expressions.
"It wasn't me!" Rose retorted. But before Queen Oriana could say anything else, her body was cut down into pieces before their very eyes.
"MOTHER!" Rose shouted.
They all suddenly heard a voice let out a disappointing sigh. "Goodness me, now I know why they say the worst enemy someone could have is incompetent allies. Now that it has come to this, I can't leave any witnesses behind, or so the cult law states."
They turned toward the voice and saw a man with wine-like hair, a gold and white metal suit, and a dark purple accent.
The guards immediately went on the attack and drew their swords to attack. It appeared he didn't even move, as all their heads and bodies were cut down as he made his way down the aisle.
"And who are you?" Rose asked, standing up bravely with her sword ready.
"Hm? Let's see, nowadays I go by the name of Mordred. That's what everyone calls me," he said with a devious smirk.
'That name... I've heard of it... In Shadow Garden! He's part of the Diabolos Cult! Mordred the Transcendent Spellsword!' Rose thought to herself before her eyes shifted to where Cid and the others were seated before, only to find out that it was now empty with no one to be seen.
