I'm the King Of Technology



Hahahahahahahaha~

Finally, Ezenia felt liberated after many years of pretending. 

The distance between her and Henry was at most 2 meters, but the distance between her many guards and Henry was just several inches away. 

Like shadows, the man clad in black appeared, with daggers and weapons placed so close to his neck, chest and other body parts that any sudden movements and he would for sure be a goner. 

Yet, no one spiked the monarch, allowing their mistress to vent her anger. 

Tilting her head, Ezenia still pointed her dagger at Henry crazily. 

"Gosh. You are such a fool! An idiot... A stupid existence for you not to have seen this coming, otherwise why didn't you ask yourself how a goddess like myself could have a true man like Ulrich and go for a cockroach like you?" 

The more Ezenia spoke, the crueler her face twisted into a hideous distortion. 

Her body trembled with ecstasy and excitement the more she rambled. 

Hahahhahaha~

Ezenia's joy couldn't make her disgust for another group too. 

'What powerful? A simple task I gave, you all haven't been able to complete. But now look at me. With my connections, abilities and men, I am to take down this bastard easily,' she thought, feeling that the T.O.E.P aren't as strong as her grandfather thought. 

Waste! 

That's what they are. If not for their superb training methods, she wouldn't even want to bother with them after this is over. 

As for Henry, this rodent, Ezenia found him to be simply idiotic, wondering if he had gone bonkers amid her fear. 

For him to still have the audacity to order her around in times like these meant he truly had a death wish one she would gladly fulfill. 

The cold winds 

But no matter how much she rambled, Henry kept his thoughts somewhere else. 

'Sure enough, they were right. She will never change.' 

Henry inwardly sighed, realizing that despite his changes over the years, he was still a soft-hearted person who couldn't bring himself to take care of Ezenia years back especially after she lost her fiance and a half of her support.

Maybe this betrayal hurt him since he was most looking forward to Ezenia's change.

It was he who held her hand, aiding her to take baby steps when she first urged herself on the floor in tears, begging for a fresh start years ago. 

Today's betrayal, despite his expressionless face, made his body vibrate, feeling his heart throb loudly.

.

"Lady Ezenia..." Henry calmly called. "I did give you a last chance to drop your weapon." 

"You? A past chance?" Ezenia was made as a hippo. "Who the hell needs your last--... Ahhhhhhhh!"

Ezenia screamed, feeling both legs lose their strength, as blood gushed out from them like a pressurized tap. 

"You bastard! Bloody son of a b**ch!"

Ezenia fell flat on her side, as she dug her fingernails into the dirt and yelled in agony, as bone-chilling pain suddenly engulfed her being. 

It hurts! It hurt so bad!

'Good God! Why can't I feel anything in my legs? I'm not crippled, am I?' 

Ezenia almost lost, thinking she was crippled without even trying harder to wiggle her toes for confirmation. 

No way! 

With the sort of pain she was feeling, she had already concluded she was crippled.

But what about her men?

Each of them fell with widened eyes, staring at Henry in shock until the darkness soon enveloped them.

How can this be? How can they die in the hands of these Palace guards who have not been trained in Morgany at all? 

Baymard did offer its worthless training methods to the UN nations; but in their minds, how could any of it be better than the methods given by the Godfathers of the world?

No way. 

If Morgany was a mobster/gangster, it would be the Godfather with everyone else being its minion.

How can a minion and a Godfather be equal? They felt no threats after returning to Deuferus, feeling they were far superior to the rest of Pyno, and could possibly take Mr. Death, A.K.A the strongest assassin, in one go. 

But now, reality allowed them to understand that even before a mountain, a bigger one must exist.

Dammit!

In their final moments, they all grumbled and gritted their teeth at how useless the T.O.E.P was for promising to overdeliver what it couldn't. 

What a bunch of Scumbags! 

If they had just left them alone, wouldn't they have eventually tried to let Ezenia get them into Baymard for training instead? 

.

Plop!

All the men surrounding Henry fell like flies. And in a nearby slope filled with foliage and shrubs several men in black laid on their tummies, with long black rifles at hand. 

"Beta squad calling in. Targets neutralized. Primary target is still alive. Waiting for the signal to complete elimination." The lead sniper reported, as he and several others aimed for the now-bloodied Ezenia who was crawling desperately on the ground.

Poof!~

Ezenia puked a mouthful of bad blood that couldn't stop climbing up her throat. Gathering her strength in her hands, she was just about to fling a dagger at Henry when suddenly...

"Ahhhhh!"

Both her hands were shot, causing a whirlpool of even more pain.

Hereyes were full of resentment and her teeth, though bloody, were gnashing against each other, wishing for a piece of Henry.

Yet, a piece of her also cried in despair, knowing she had lost.

But why? Why did she lose? What about her beloved? What about their plans to reunite and live as one family? 

"You coward! Why don't you fight me like a man if you're so powerful?"

Despite the agonizing pain, Ezenia's mouth went off like a machine gun, firing shots at Henry in tears and humiliation. 

Her heart felt like it was being ripped apart, and all her senses streamed for destruction, wishing to destroy both just Henry, but the entire world as well.

Honestly, it was very sad watching her struggle like a fish out of water, with all her limbs numb with pain. 

She struggled and wrestled, proving she had more hidden strength within her than expected. 

Ezenia just didn't want to give up, wrestling her way toward Henry despite her situation.

The mighty Ezenia had finally fallen, but Henry couldn't get any satisfaction from seeing her like this.

Ezenia felt choked up with countless emotions, as her chest rose and fell. 

Tears flowed down her dirty but beautiful face, as she slowly lost consciousness, having lost the battle with her own body.

'Was it all a dream? Yes!! It must be,' she thought, not wanting to give up her drum of raising a family with Ulrich.

All she wanted was a family of her own with the man she truly loved. 

So why was fate so against her? Why had the heavens turned their backs on her, a lonely woman in need? 

In Ezenia's final moments before she fainted she seemed to have visualized a warm family, with Ulrich, conjuring up images of a little boy and girl running and playing in the royal gardens. And their parents, she and Urlich, were standing and hugging beside him blissfully. 

Aiy~

What a nice dream. It would be good if she could live in this dream world forever, her husband being monarch, her being queen and her children being very happy.

Of course, even in her dreams, she still visualized her children running around the gardens with daggers as they played Hide and Kill with the many slave servants in the palace.

Her little children killed quite a lot, and she couldn't be prouder!

(^_^)

—

"What do you suppose she's dreaming of?" Henry asked one of the guards, who was also taken aback by the warm smile on Ezenia's lips. 

"Probably about killing you, your majesty."

"..."

Yeah. That seems more likely. 

Phew~

Thank the heavens he had enlisted spies in Ezenia's home, though he dared not place them very close to Ezenia or her grandfather. 

No. These spies were placed around her father's other wives.

Even then, it was so hard getting any news from her side. 

Luckily, 8 months ago, they made a small breakthrough, getting some clues of her grand scheme, all of which circulated around Ulrich.

For him to get on the throne meant he would have to die. It was that simple, even a baby could understand that logic.

So from then on, every time Ezenia was to enter the palace, Henry was more than prepared to handle her.

Don't think that an unmarried woman like her can come to the palace as often as she wanted even if she was friends with Henry.

Except he called for an audience, the only opportunity she had were in balls of these natures and celebratory occasions.

She could also attack him outside the palace, so he hardly went out unless it was necessary, and even then, his itinerary wasn't so easy to get since he made fake itineraries entrapping enemies at many points.

Thus, the only way she could get to Jim was in the palace. 

That's why he also hired Baymardians in his protection wagon, having them secretly attend every ballroom party hosted in the palace.

They already knew Ezenia must want to use the element of surprise to take him down. Thus, the best way is often during such occasions.

Think about it.

Ballroom occasions were perfect since after the deed gets done they could leave the palace as her escorts, taking her back home without suspicion.

.

Shaking his head, Henry watched the group carry the unconscious Ezenia away. 

"Get her treated and presentable for sanctioning. As planned, she'll face her Verdict 3 days after she wakes up."

For her, Henry had long decided to toss her to Baymard's female prison. 

He knew from today onwards, her Grandfather, one of the most powerful ministers in Deiferus, would also tear face with him.

If there was one thing that crazy old man loved, it was his Granddaughter, Ezenia!

Just thinking about the trifles to come made his head throb. But did he regret it? No.

He too wasn't the little naive boy he was years ago. Now he had also become a cunning Fox.

Heh. 

Let the battle begin. Henry thought, sharply turning to one of his aides. " Watch that old dog. I want to know what he does, where he goes, how he eats and who he meets."
