Thanks to Trisha saving Sukehime, World"s will was successfully provoked leading to a full on retaliation of the Worlds will. One good thing came out of this though Sukehime finally knew whom she was facing and what to expect, giving her more advantage in the battle than she had before. Unfortunately for the team who were practicing worry free without a care in the world thinking that their golden umbrella will cover them from all the problems raining on them not knowing that what they were facing was no rain but a hail storm which could possibly break the golden umbrella covering them.
This is one of the reasons why the Terror walkers had an unwritten rule to minimize the damage to the original plotline as much as possible. even the high ranking vetran Terror walker did not dare to be arrogant but follow this rule with utmost caution. But sometimes situations and other variables are such that not everyone can stick to this rule, making it a unwritten rule.
Trisha"s righteous act had brought great benefit to the team by gaining Sukehime, Hito and Masako"s trust; likewise it also brought a disaster to them by adding them to the Hit list of the world"s will. But if Trisha had not saved Sukehime then the team would not be able to gain the trust of the Sukehime and gain so many benefits and the danger of the World"s will would still be there.
.........…
Even though many thoughts were going on in Sukehime"s mind, from outside her face remained calm and tranquil as all the attempts of her attack were in vain and nothing could kill her. Seeing this many attackers started to lose the little hope they got when the bearded oldman took out a weird looking bone lamp with a terrifying presence. Not just the other attackers even Bearded old man also was having second thoughts about the performance of the lampp against Sukehime. These are not to be blamed because anybody would feel the same facing what these people have gone through. But they had no choice; there was no retreat for them now.
Whole j.a.panese kingdom sang lore of Sukehime"s kind and her forgiving nature. But only people in the high level of the kingdom knew that Sukehime"s dictionary did not have the word mercy in it. Anybody who dared to cross her or go against her has not lived to tell their story. From outside Sukehime may look like a loving and kind woman but from inside she is a cold merciless warrior for her and her families interest she can do anything and everything. That"s the reason why she still has huge influence in the kingdom"s n.o.bles and commoners alike.
While her attackers were desperarte with every pa.s.sing second, Sukehime"s brain was working fast on what her next step would be. Finally Sukehime decided to go on a full out war with the world"s will as it is so desperately targeting her anyway.
Over the years Sukehime had prepared many things to fight and defend against the world"s will but tragically the only thing that could possibly cause harm to the world"s will has fallen in the enemy hands and is being used to deal with her. Finding no way out Sukehime finally decided to go all out with what she had but this may cost her her life, in a way even she was desperate.
" What are you guys thinking? You know her nature and should have heard stories about her. Let me tell you that they all were true. She is a very cruel and merciless woman, Just take Yui for example . She kills Yui"s newborn baby right in front of her and lets Yui live in agony for decades. Begging for mercy or surrendering will not work in front of her, its us or her. At Least in this way your families will be safe or else you know the 13 families better than me, I do not need to tell you what they do to traitors families. " Hearing the bearded Old man"s reminder all the attackers finally came to their senses, especially the master from the 13 families. These guys knew how cruel the 13 families can be first hand because they did the same to the other traitors and families. 13 allied families did not gain so much influence in the 2 decades just by the favor of the world"s will but because they did everything possible to get to the stage they are in currently.
Knowing that they are dead anyway the attackers did not want to drag their families with them therefore they formed their wills and decided to follow through their mission. But just then Sukehime"s voice sounded,
" Yui, Before you die I think you should know that I never killed your child or the other b.a.s.t.a.r.d children of my husband. "Sukehime trying to buy time for herself decided to reveal the truth behind the death of Yui"s child.
" what? ! what do you mean ? " Yui was confused. Yui"s first reaction was not to doubt Sukehime"s words because being sukehime"s childhood she knew Sukehime better than everyone else , she knew that Sukehime never lied and disgusted by the idea of word play, she spoke her mind freely. Since she said she did not kill her child then definitely she did not kill her child, but what confused her was she saw with her own eyes Sukehime killing her newborn.
" with my strength it is just a little effort to let you and the rest present then believe I killed the baby. " explained Sukehime, clearing the confusion of Yui. Sukehime was right with her strength and mastery of rune"s how hard it could be for her to use illusion for confusing a dozen mortals.
" so, where is my baby? Where is my baby?!!" Yui was excited and frantic at the same time like a madwoman. Excited that her baby was not killed by Sukehime and frantic because she did know how her baby was doing currently.
" Oh! Can find him in the royal tomb. He died a few months ago. " hearing Sukehime, Yui broke down completely tears flowed from her eyes constantly, rest of the attackers felt pity for Yui they all knew her tragic story, some think it is her fault and some think of her as another broke toy of the royal family. Even though the Bearded old man did not sympathize with Yui but he could not bring himself to interrupt her right now.
" wh..who! Was he? How did he die?" controlling herself Yui inquired abouthere child.
" You know him, In Fact you all know him as my First born and the late emperor. " Sukehime did not bother to explain. But her words were like worms of curiosity in the minds of the 34 attackers. One of them could not hold back even before Yui he impatiently asked " what?! how ?! why?! " the rest looked at Sukehime for an explanation, especially Yui.
" You all know my marriage was an arranged marriage in the interest of the Kingdom and its people, what you do not know is I never married the emperor, it was all a ruse. I had laid down a huge Illusion array in the Palace Hall beforehand and used it to confuse all the people present there. You do not need to be ashamed as the entire kingdom Including the emperor thought I married the emperor, correction the entire nation still thinks that I am the widow of the emperor.
Every nation needs an heir, but since I was not married to the emperor then how can there be a baby to inherit the crown. Therefore In the name of killing all my husband"s b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, I adopted all the b.a.s.t.a.r.ds as my own child and gave them all the t.i.tles of prince and princess along with equal rights to inherit the crown. And your dear late emperor is your son Yui. " having completed her preparations Sukehime put an end to her narration.
" What you let a b.a.s.t.a.r.d inherit the crown, how could you do this? blasphemy! this is blasphemy!! " one of the older Attackers seem to not come intrems with Sukehime"s words.
UnLike the oldman the rest did not care, even if they did it was not enough for them to act out like the old man. But still the news did bring them a huge shock and they all were not happy to know that they all served a b.a.s.t.a.r.d king all these days and their present king carried the b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s blood.
While the rest of the attackers were schooked and unhappy by the news, Yui and Haruun these two in particular were very happy but for different reason"s.
Yui was happy because her child lived a full life and left her with many grand babies, she finally felt peace as if a big rock was lifted from her chest.
Haruun because his G.o.ddess was still pure and untouched, this not only made him happy but my other emotions also blossomed in his heart and reproductive organ. These emotions were quite raging since he was also a pure and untouched monk. Even though Haruun"s thoughts became vividly lewd he did not dare to show them on his face fearing the worst.
