The king, Saleman Elviana Featrees took on a stern expression and spoke up with the true dignity of a king -
"Miss Mia, do you know that hurting a royalty is a crime punishable by death ?"
"Hmm, I guess there is a law like that in most nations for the commoners."
This statement immediately made the king to understand that this lady was not just a mindless brute fighter but she was quite intelligent too. With her previous statement she indirectly told the king two things. Firstly, she was not a part of his nation and secondly, the law that he mentioned was only applicable to the commoners of a nation. Truly powerful people could easily be above the laws. This was a very good argument but the king was in no mood to have a battle of words with her. So he just feigned ignorance.
"Then how dare you have the audacity to kill my brother who had the royal blood flowing through his vein even after knowing that it was a crime. Are you trying to insult me and the royal family of this great nation ?"
This was king Saleman's way to put pressure on Mio by calling out to her crimes. At that moment, the second princess Iris tried to stand up and argue on Mio's behalf but a single word from Mio made everyone present inside the throne room to become speechless which also included Iris. What Mio said was
"YES !!!"
Then when she saw that everyone was dumbstrucked, she was kind enough to explain it to them again in detail.
"I said yes. By which I mean that I killed that scumbag with the full knowledge that he was a part of the royal family. I have absolutely no respect for a bloodline that had given birth to such a despicable being."
Hearing what she said, all the nobles and officials jaws dropped to the ground. They had never expected someone to be so brave to insult the royal family directly in front of the king. Before anyone could look at the king to see his expression, all of them started to tremble as a suffocating pressure filled the throne room. Two other princes were opening their mouths to protest but they were forced to shut their mouth after feeling this pressure.
Obviously the person who was giving off this terrifying pressure was none other than the king Saleman Elviana Featrees himself. He was not really a calm person and was quite hot headed. So when Mio directly insulted his bloodline, he immediately lost his temper. He had released his full aura of a level 700 plus king and everyone in the throne room was frozen in fear. Everyone except only one person and obviously this person was Mio.
She took on this pressure very calmly and with a slight smile playing on her lips. Then she also released her own full aura and while doing that she revealed her true power level. The aura that Mio released was not overpowering like the king's and it has a gentle touch to it. But this gentle aura immediately pushed the king's aura back as soon as it was released. This was a clear indication that this lady named Mio was at least at the same power level as the king himself if not stronger than her.
The king was also astonished but then he made up his mind to get this girl down from her high horse and he was still very confident in doing that. That was because this throne room was his own home ground and he had many set ups here that could give him a very good advantage over Mio.
He immediately activated the formation of this throne room and followed it by activating the throne itself which was a powerful magic item. The formation increased his INT stat and the throne gave him access to a vast amount of mana. This way his capability as a spell caster had a massive boost. That was not all as the king also activated his crown which was also a legendary magic item that increased his mental processing speed and allowed him to cast more spells in a short amount of time.
After making all the preparations, he finally started to release several elemental spells of different kinds. Seven magic circles appeared around the king and seven types of magic spells were thrown toward Mio. Those spells also scored a direct hit. But the king did not and kept on bombarding the location where Mio was standing with more and more spells. He stopped only after bombarding her with a total of 12 rounds of spells.
The location where Mio was sitting was covered in dust and smoke. The mana in that place was also in a chaotic situation so no one was able to sense what had happened to Mio. But most of the nobles and officials were sure that the girl named Mio was either dead or badly injured. Iris was also looking at the location with nervousness.
When the dust cloud was cleared, what appeared before them was a wall, a wall made by stacking up several shields together. Behind the wall of shields, Mio was still sitting there calmly. But now she stood up and said -
"Hmm, that attack was a bit underwhelming then I had expected. Now I think it's my turn to attack, right ?"
Saying so Mio waved her hand and the shields disappeared. In their place several swords, spears, halberds and other weapons with high attack power appeared. Then with Mio's signal all those weapons went flying toward the king. He immediately used his boosted magic power to erect several barriers and activated his necklace which was also a powerful defensive magic item.
The same way it happened with Mio, the location where the king was sitting also got covered by the dust cloud. But when the dust and smoke cleared up the scene inside was completely different. Mio was fine after taking all those attacks but the king currently looked terrible after just taking a single attack casually done by Mio. The king was still alive and was not badly hurt, but his royal robe was torn in various places and there were several minor injuries throughout his whole body.
Just as Mio prepared a second round of weapons to throw at the king with the number of weapons being higher than before, king Saleman clicked his tongue in anger and activated a ring type magic item. Immediately he disappeared from his spot. It was a super rare teleportation magic item and a life saving Trump Card of the king. When he saw that his chance of winning was low, he immediately decided to run away. That was definitely a very decisive action worthy of a king.
Now without the support of the powerful king, all the nobles and officials were looking at Mio with a scared expression. Seeing them shaking like frightened little animals, she told them in a clear voice -
"I came to the capital to punish the evil princes who needed to be punished and I do not intend to hurt anyone else. So no need to worry."
Saying so she disappeared from the royal throne room. The princes were soon going to have a terrible nightmare.
