Lucy Wickshire

Chapter 150

"Why did you interrupt?" she asked darkly.

"Sorry, but she can"t die today." the man said.

"Who are you?" the king asked. They needed no introduction to know that this man was dangerous. The way he appeared showed he was a martial artist, and a high ranked one at that.

"Sorry, I will be taking her from here." the man said.

"Kill him!" Queen Raine ordered and and some Jade hand agents appeared on the stage and attacked without warning. The two agents in front vibrate rapidly, causing a ring to tear through the air. The others behind turned to smoke and slipped under his feet, merging with his shadow. The intruder could feel energy drain from his limbs. But to him, this was like a child throwing a grain of rice on a horse. The intruder but raised one hand and the air around the stage stilled. The Jade hand guards started to disintegrate till they became nothing. Those outside the stage still alive, tensed. This man was powerful.

"Will you step aside or do I have to kill more of you?" the intruder asked.

"You will take her no where. Besides, she is dead." Lady Teel stood up and descended the stands.

"Not yet. There is still a breath of life in her." the intruder said calmly causing the prince to release a breath he had not known he was holding.

"Worry not about her life, she will die soon. You too, will not leave here with your life." Lady Teel said and dashed forward. She was before him in less than a second. She raised her hand and the intruder felt a spark of danger. This woman is powerful, he thought. He made to dodge, not caring about the naked princess he had come to save. But her hand still reached him. His eyes bulged at her speed. Instead of a palm, it was a finger on his chest. He sucked all his energy into one point to shield that spot. Her finger broke through it and reached for him, but the shield had taken in most of the brunt. The vibration from her finger entered his body even before the finger touched him, causing him to cough out a mouthful of blood. Just when he thought he would die, a figure grabbed him away, faster than Lady Teel could follow. The fight had paused with an elderly man holding the intruder and Lady Teel only a step away from her initial spot on the stage, and the audience too confused; as their eyes had not caught how fast they were moving.

The audience saw Lady Teel pause as a figure had appeared and grabbed away the now bleeding intruder. Lady Teel"s eyes dissolved from a frown into one of shock. Her eyes rounded out at the person holding the intruder.

"How dare you attack my son?" anger could almost be seen like a steam leaving the elderly man.

"An-cients." Lady Teel managed to choke out.

Lady Teel was stuck in place. Never had she thought that a random saviour would be an ancient. Not just anyone, but the son of the chief of the Marjiont Valley, Hiest Hane.

The king paled the moment he heard the words "ancients". Prince Thelmus sneered inwardly. This result; he loved very much, but he did not let it show. He must remain filial at all times and not look as though he was enjoying his family"s misfortune.


"I apologize Lord Hane, but your son should have declared himself." Lady Teel said with a steady voice.

"I will see this as your family defying the ancients." Lord Hane said.

"Your son interfered with a proceeding without making his ident.i.ty known." Lady Teel said.

"Are you saying if my son wants to stop this barbaric killing, he, as an ancient, is not allowed to?"

"Lord Hane-"

"Enough! The Teel bloodline ends today!" his words were like a command as shadows flashed in the direction of Queen Raine.
