The Black Ice Dragon Legend

chapter 4 the poisonous roots

“t...lord I cannot..” Reply the people in front with their hands and bodies trembling with fear.

“Ah?” The soldier drew his sword. “I don't want to know, taxes have to be paid. If not, then die!!” The soldier instantly drew his sword, then swung it with all his might.

The people closed their eyes in fear. In his heart he continued to pray for his salvation which was already on the edge. A few seconds later, the blade of the sword did not hit his neck. Even the wind that had been felt, had now become calmer.

The moment the occupation opened its eyes, he was surprised by the female figure standing in front of him while holding the warrior sword with one hand without the slightest difficulty.

The warrior and irina were shocked by his sudden appearance. Moreover, it seems to have a power that can not be seen remer.

Even so, the soldier did not care about it, he roughly wanted to draw his sword, but not the slightest bit of his blade was interested. He tried it with both hands, but again it did not pay off.

“How dare you oppress the population.” Said dira with a sharp look and tone.

Irina frowned, remembering who the woman in front of her was. He seemed to know the tone and shape of his face, but he did not know where. What was certain was that the woman in front of him did not come from a lowly family.

Dira instantly raised his hand and tightened it, like a sword blade, then at high speed cut through the sword blade of the warrior. The soldier was surprised, then wanted to immediately balance his body, however, he was late. He finally went backwards.

With trembling lips and disbelief, he looked at his sword that only a piece remained. Even the pieces were very neat, like they were cut by something very sharp. Even beyond the sharpness of a sword.

Not only was the soldier shocked, irina who was not far from him was slightly surprised by the ability of this woman in front of him. Moreover, he also felt a violent killing aura flowing in all directions from him.

The residents looked scared, but they could not escape. Even the front one could not control his body; both his legs trembled, his eyes opened wide and his tightly closed last lip bulged. If he could run, he would have done so already.

“K-k-you ready?” ask the soldier while retreating. Now he realized the person in front of him wasn't exactly the person he was proposing to.

Dira smiled watching the frightened face of the soldier, but he was not satisfied if he had not seen it plugged in his brother's face. He turned his head and said with disdain, “kakak, long time no see.”

Hearing this, irina was shocked. He frowned, thinking of examining all his brothers. After remembering it, he was surprised, then said in disbelief, “Didn't you dira!?”

Dira smiled, “turned out sister still remembers him.”

Irina instantly smiled disdainfully. “how not. A princess who is always in torment and full of disgrace like you. Patesan only I have difficulty remembering it, it turns out the disgrace daughter I once made a doll apparently.”

Hearing Irina's words, Dira's face did not look the slightest bit of anger, but instead she replied firmly, “because I am a princess of disgrace, I must remind this forgetful sister; who until forget his own doll to grow this size.”

Irina's facial expression became lower. He did not expect his sister who had once begged and considered him a rescue could say that. Quickly irina looked at the knitter who was still frightened. “kau! Quickly collect taxes before night gets late!”

“Good. Fine.”

After saluting, the soldier approached and saluted. “Mr daughter, sorry for the sassness of the servant. Can I collect taxes? This is a rule that must be obeyed by everyone in this kingdom.”

“No, before I met my own father.”

The soldier was about to retaliate, but he quickly turned to the terrified population and said, “how much is the tax here?”

The people were confused; whether they answered or not, until they guaranteed their safety, the people answered.

“ 50 grams of gold.” Reply to one of the doubters.

“Anytime paid?”

The resident was silent for a moment, then replied, “ every month.”

“Do you have no heart! how can they pay it in a month.” Said to the soldier and irina, then continued, “I want to meet dad and seek justice to him.”

Dira wanted to leave, but irina stopped him and said, “it's been a provision for years and it's official, you can't oppose it, it's fair.”

“adil you say? Look at them, even to meet daily needs is difficult. Pay taxes with gold. You should have helped them in this kind of trouble.”

“It's wrong of those who are not so good at finding a job. Pay taxes also for their interest in making the defense of the country safe.”

“well, if they have money to pay for it, but look, they all don't have a dime of that money paying for it.”

Seeing irina speechless, she immediately ordered the people to leave. But, not a single person dared to leave. They just fell silent while putting on a confused facial expression.

“are you deaf? hurry up my patience is not much.”

People nodded and dispersed. Even though Irina yelled they couldn't disperse, they still left and didn't care about Irina. They are more afraid of me than Irina.

“you must take responsibility for your actions!!” irina said to dira.

Dira calmly replied, “I just did what was good for all of us.” Dira then stepped away.

Irina's face became angry. A sharp look like a knife was drawn on his face. Both of his eyebrows knit. “after what you did, you want to just leave. I won't let it!”

The warrior sword at the side trembled, then darted. Within a quarter of a second, the sword was already in irina's hands. Without speaking, irina darted her sword.

When half a meter from the dira, suddenly appeared large roots from the ground, then resisted irina's attack.

The roots had a purple liquid at the end, which was always dripping.

Noticing the strange liquid, irina quickly jumped back and let her sword be wrapped around by the roots.

‘what is poison!?’

“Sister, don't waste your energy, I'll go to the palace.” He said calmly, then stepped forward.

Irina would not let her go. Now he's no match. Moreover, it seemed like the liquid was runny. Touching him now was already difficult, let alone defeating him.

Moreover, he subconsciously did not know how frightening and terrifying the poison was.

...****...

“Nona, can I help you?” Ask the wrong soldier to Dira.

“I want to meet king.”

“sorry, is there an appointment with him?”

“No, but I am his son, should have met without an appointment or schedule.”

Hearing this, the soldier fell silent and looked at him carefully. Indeed, in appearance they can be called princesses, but the soldier always guard the gate, and never saw himself as princess or heard the king raise a child. Even his face was too foreign to her.

“Child king!?” the other soldier said as if he could not believe what he heard.

“Iya, my name is dira.”

“Dira?” the soldier was surprised and unexpected.

“Do you know him?” ask the other one.

The soldier nodded, “I heard that his highness has a daughter who made his beloved wife die during labor, it happened about 30 years more. Because of the death of his wife, his highness hated his daughter, even he never spoke to the Princess. Not only that, just look at it noble would not. She's named dira.”

“have you confirmed it?” his friend could not believe it.

“i have confirmed it. I got it from a noble maid, so the chances of her harm are very small.”

“if so, I won't..”

The soldier stopped the words, because the roots were already a few centimeters from his neck.

Seeing that, the other soldier was shocked and scared.

“if you guys don't let me in, then don't ever expect to see your son and wife again.” Threaten Dira with a serious tone and look of indifference in her eyes.
