Book 14: Chapter 52
Vyvyan’s long blonde hair gently swayed; her blue eyes had determination written in them. Puzzled, Ying asked, “Did you have business with me, Queen Vyvyan? What do you want me to do? Although I am a bodyguard, I am unwilling to kill people.”
“No, I’m not asking you to kill anyone, and I don’t have any ridiculous request to make of you. I want you to kill a wild beast that’s similar to those wyrms. It’s a wild animal that’s endangering my son.”
“Is it an animal?”
“It’s a wild beast that’s similar to the wyrms. It’s another wild beast that kills people. It’s another wild beast that wants to kill my son. We want to kill it. We want to bring my son, who is also your master, back. Last time, our child protected us and saved us. This time, it’s our turn to protect him! Ying, what do you think?”
Ying had seen enough variety of monsters, and she wasn’t worried about her conscience bearing any burden over killing a wild beast. From Ying’s perspective, there was no such thing as a good wild beast; only ones that harm people and ones that didn’t. Previously, she had no means of killing wyrms. Otherwise, she would’ve annihilated them all. She thought she’d never be able to kill the wyrm, but that turned out to be false. Sometimes, the wyrms she wounded gradually died. However, there wasn’t just one, and a new one would eventually surface. The thought of protecting wild beasts never crossed her mind. If the wild beast hurt those she loved, then killing them was justified. She had no pity for them. She had killed many wild beasts and guarded the village for a long time. Killing a wild beast was as simple as the click of a finger.
There was no problem, since Ying didn’t have to kill a human being. Hence, she nodded: “All right. Do I need to prepare anything?”
Vyvyan nodded: “We need your sister, Xia, as well. The wild beast also has a layer of mana enveloping its body, which functions as its armour, so we need somebody who can pierce its armour. As long as you can destroy its armour, killing it will be a simple matter.”
Ying nodded again: “I hope it’s not too far away, then. Xia isn’t in good shape, so we can’t leave for too long.”
Vyvyan clenched her teeth. In a serious tone, she responded, “That won’t be a problem. We can reach our destination in an instant as long as you’re ready. Tomorrow, that damn dragon’s head will be hung on our wall in our room for accolades.”
