I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 811 - A Dead Ruler

--Gentle Breeze Estate, The Capital City, Yodan--

.

The stars filled up the night sky making it come to life with raw energy.

The bright stars gave a deep contrast to the dark sky.

The stars felt like a promise of life in the darkest of times, bringing in a sense of warmth from within the shadows.

The gentle night breeze warmly caressed the cheeks of many, planting a subtle kiss on them.

In short, the night was undoubtedly beautiful.

But sadly, not everyone could enjoy its magnificence.

Within the famous Gentle Breeze Estate that was home to the gentlest of women, a very battered woman was currently chained to the walls of a small private dungeon.

The dungeon reeked of blood, dead rodents and other funky smells.

'Qui! Qui! Qui!'

The sounds of large sewer rats running up and down the place echoed all around the dungeon.

These rodents weren't your average cute mice.

They were fat sewage-looking rats that had long nails ready for clawing away.

In short, they didn't care if their food was dead or alive.

The moment they got hungry, they ran towards their prey without a care in the world and nibbled on the person's flesh without a care in the world.

If not for the fact that the guards outside constantly checked in the prisoner, these rats would've probably dealt with her in a heartbeat.

The prisoner was just fortunate that her captive didn't want her to die yet.

.

'Squeak!'

The dungeon door was pushed open, and the battered woman in chains opened her eyes and came face to face with a pair of sharp Bluish eyes that belonged to another woman.

Rage swelled up within the battered woman's eyes as she wanted nothing more than to attack this scheming b**ch before her.

Never in a million years would she have thought that the person she called her best friend was such a 2 faced b**ch who had successfully fooled her for over 10 years.

As for the scheming b**ch in question, she just calmly walked into the room with a fan over her mouth.

And who was she?

Well, she was none other than Duchess Philippa, who used to be one of Yodan's queens.

She was brother to Master K of the temple of Dragmus.

She was the lady that everyone felt was too weak and couldn't even hurt a fly.

For decades, she had doctors lie about her condition, fooling everyone into believing that even the wind could break her if it was too harsh.

This was why her private estate was named the gentle breeze estate.

You everyone else, she was such a kind and gentle person.

But the scene now was a stark contrast to the image she had painstakingly painted out for herself.

In fact, if anyone accidentally saw this scene, they would be shocked silly by it.

Was this still the famous gentle lady that they were used to seeing?

The face was obviously the same, so how could the personalities be so different?

.

Philippa smiled arrogantly as she watched her former best friend's current predicament.

The situation unfolded because her best friend's son accidentally found out about her other identity.

And of course, for the sake of her and her brother's plans, they ordered for the bastard to be killed.

And just to make the woman's life more miserable, they made her ever greedy husband mull her son right before her very eyes

Her husband was someone with 6 wives and many sons.

So after a lot of convincing, he agreed to do it, provided the family got their status ranked a little higher than it was.

In his mind, he just took it as if his son was sacrificing himself for a noble cause.

And that's how he killed his son right before the boy's mother.

From there, he threw the woman out for 'cheating' or something like that.

After leaving, the woman was immediately kidnapped and secretly sent to Philippa's estate.

Truthfully, Philippa didn't like this best friend of hers.

But like almost all noble friendsh.i.p.s, it was just a necessity and a way to keep one's ears all around the place.

.

"Lou! Lou!

You won't blame me, right?

I mean, it was your son who dared to see and hear what he shouldn't have.

So I had no choice but to silence him.

As a matter of fact, the person you should direct your anger to is your husband, no?

He was the one who ordered his men to slice his own son's head off.

Now that I think about it, you should be happy that I gave him a quick death rather than torturing him.

So shouldn't you be thanking me instead?"

"Ahhhh!

Philippa, how dare you kill my son?

I want you to die!!!!"

The battered woman went off and tried with all her might to break free from the chains.

Her eyes were red as she saw her son's head brought out of a metal box by one of the guards.

She screamed and cried woefully.

That was her only child, Marcus.

Philippa looked at her and sneered before signalling for the guard to drip the head just beside the woman in chains.

"Little Marcus!

Little Marcus!

Please wake up!

Mommy is here, please wake up.

Please wake up.

No!

What are you all doing?

Let go of my Son!"

Almost immediately, the ever-hungry rats rushed forward and fiercely nibbled on the head before them.

Philippa watched her so-called best friend grow crazy with excitement.

Honestly, it was so boring to keep pretending to be weak.

But soon, everything will change.

.

Philippa unleashed her whip on the chained woman's body.

Honestly, what did she have to do to get some fun around here?

Pretending to be weak was so exhausting!

'Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!'

Philippa struck the woman's boy with a fierce whip, creating several streaks of reddish lines on her body, more specifically, her face.

And when she had enough fun for the day, she stepped out of the dungeon alongside her most trusted aide.

"Mistress, by now, the Sirius boy should be dead.

Master K's men should've already successfully taken care of him during the ambush."

"Hmhm.

It's time to begin the next phase.

Inform Kreelin to start preparing the men as planned."

"As you wish, mistress!"

"Good!"

With that, the duo continued walking on in cheerful silence.

There was no way that the temple of Dragmus would fail in their plans.

Their success rate in everything that they did was almost 100% successful.

So with that thought in mind, they knew that the plan was also successful.

His majesty Sirius MacLaine was finally dead.

But just to be safe, they decided to wait for confirmation from Master K before first.

Nonetheless, they decided to start moving things in the shadows in preparation for phase 2 of their plans.

Soon, Yodan will belong to them.

Philippa sneered when she thought of Sirius.

The first time she tried to kill him, he was on his way to Baymard he managed to escape her from her grasp.

And from the looks of it, Sirius never suspected her of being the culprit behind his attack.

Of course, after he returned from his trip, she tried to pry into the matter only to discover that some passing noble had saved them.

So someone helped him out which led to his escape.

And that was how her first attempt on him failed.

But this time, there was would be no one to save him, she made sure of it.

So this time, Sirius was dead.
