Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 414 Expedition To The Frozen Region: Queen Tanya's Fury

While Bladeheart is already exploring beneath the cold snow to look for a way out and a way back to the surface, Queen Tanya is enraging furiously as she looked at the chubby soldier who she assigned as a courier. As much as she wants to see that this guy is not at fault for what happened to Bladeheart, it was intentional.

"Whew, damn! That was intense!" the chubby soldier wipe the sweat on his forehead as if relieved that he managed to survive the avalanche.

Queen Tori is currently assessing the avalanche site to see if it was bad enough. With the snow covering the full entrance of the place, it was clear that it is not going to be open once again very soon unless someone wanted to dig out all of the stuck snow. Soon, she rejoined the group that was resting along with Queen Tanya.

"Sis, I doubt we can use this path again. It's too risky for the expedition to use and much more dangerous compared to the main road that we use to access the deeper parts of the region."

"So, can you tell whether Bladeheart will be surviving the avalanche?"

"I think he can. Seeing the snow, it didn't have any boulders that would certainly make an avalanche fatal. Furthermore, even if he dies, he is one of the people who revive the cathedral. We can just wait for his revival if he ever died there."

"Still, he clearly has a higher chance of surviving. But he decided to save a soldier before he was covered by the snow of the avalanche."

"Oh, that guy. I didn't expect you to bring him along with us, but what happened already happened, there is nothing we can do about it."

"You know that soldier?" Queen Tanya asked.

"Of course. You already know that I am very close to my soldiers and I have some sort of bonds and buddies with your soldiers too so I obviously know this guy. And since it was this guy, I can immediately tell that what happened to Bladeheart is not a coincidence," Queen Tori explained.

"Not a coincidence?"

"Yes. I only know the rumors from my buddies from your soldiers. This guy is known to sacrifice the lives of his comrades just to save his own hide. He was infamous for doing that and if confronted about it, he would jokingly say that it wasn't his fault that they were weak enough then laugh like it wasn't much of a big deal."

"Why have I never heard of this matter..?" Queen Tanya gritted her teeth in anger.

"Because of their fear against him."

"Huh?"

"Despite being a low-rank soldier, he is a strong Berserker soldier. He can easily decimate enemies with his abilities. And he is a noble with high backing from some nobles that support him. He is just working as a soldier for now because he is planning to climb up the ranks of the soldiers and become one of the official ones that are trusted by you. That might also be the main reason why your soldiers decided to stay quiet as to avoid the ire of those nobles and get themselves killed in the process."

When Queen Tanya heard this, her hands are already showing signs of her dark power. It was already overflowing to the point that even Queen Tori is getting shivers from it.

"Sis! Sis! Snap out of it! There is no point getting angry about it!"

"Don't stop me, Tori. Even if he is noble, there is nothing they could do if I am the one who decided to bring justice to them."

And before Queen Tori could stop her sister, Queen Tanya dashes and grab the unsuspecting chubby soldier to his neck and grip it tightly that the soldier didn't expect that to even happen. If he ever expected it, he would have been able to dodge it so easily.

"You were the last guy who managed to survive the avalanche right?"

"Ah- y-yes, Your Majesty...kuk! It hurts...your majes- gah!" Queen Tanya starts to tighten her grip.

"Tell me how you managed to get out of the avalanche without getting caught. I saw you earlier and you are lagging right behind us. How did you manage to get out of there without getting covered by the avalanche?"

"Gah-Some...one... an insignificant warrior helped me..."

Queen Tanya released the guy from her grip. As soon as he released it, he started babbling about it immediately.

"That insignificant warrior decided to help after he saw me lagging behind everyone else. I am surprised since there should have been no need to do that and I don't need his help in any way but he insisted and he grab my baggage off of me and decided to carry on. He keeps on glancing at me and when we are about near the main entrance, he suddenly throws the baggage that he snatched away from me and throws it at me! How rude of him to do that to someone as noble as me! He didn't show any respect!"

The moment he started dabbling more, Queen Tanya could no longer hold her fury and unleashed the power of her fist and punched a hole in his stomach. He is still alive as that was a sudden punch and just enough to keep his flesh intact aside from the hole that was made on his stomach.

"Y-your majesty... what is the meaning of this?"

"If I have learned it much earlier than before, perhaps you might have received this punishment much earlier than. You should have been thankful I only done that on your stomach. If I hadn't been capable of keeping my abilities in control, your body would have already been broken to pieces already you piece of sh*t."

"What...? What did I even do wrong..."

"What you did wrong? Ha! Did you even realize who is the one you are calling the insignificant warrior? Ah, perhaps because you were on vacation until the very last day that you didn't know that I gained a trustworthy person to assist us on this expedition. Not only that, but he is also one of the keys to making this expedition a success."

"H-HUH? You mean...urk..." the chubby guy looked down at the stomach that he is covering and the flesh that was still intact is slowly releasing its grip on the placement of his body. His wound is also slowly releasing quite a lot of blood too.

"Indeed. The insignificant warrior who saved you from the avalanche is the one who is also one of the keys to this expedition. He just traded his life for someone trashy like you. I know you are a noble blood soldier but that doesn't mean it is a good enough reason to look down on others.  Don't even think of thinking of a reason. I know you are purposely trying to slow down yourself and bring someone down, dead. Just having you in my soldier ranks absolutely ruins the confidence my soldiers had towards my decisions."

When he heard that, his calm-looking face turned twisted and he gritted his teeth with wrath, as blood started to trickle faster from his wound.

"Ha! That is the main reason why you are being despised by the nobles, your majesty! You are being too compassionate toward common people! The nobility should have focused more on what the nobles can do and forgotten about all the plebians! You will regret doing this, my family wouldn't let this matter go after they knew I died. They will make sure you will be dethroned soon!"

Queen Tanya's open palms closed and in a swift action, the same guy talking was turned into minced meat in just a few seconds.

"Don't worry, once they try doing that, I will make sure that the nobility who decides to do that will be erased from the annals of history. Mark my words."

Queen Tori who was just on the side, didn't intervene, while the soldiers who were watching the drama earlier didn't even bother to defend the guy and let him die in the end. They just watched him die without a care and from the looks of it, they are in favor of what Queen Tanya did. They decided to keep a blind eye on what happened. After all, he was not even a well-liked person.

After the minced meat of the soldier fell to the ground she snap her fingers and the minced flesh of the guy was engulfed in flames. It was quick and it didn't even last a few seconds before it turned to ashes that slowly mixed into the ice.

"Grab the remains of his armor and let's get out of here. We should still think positively that Bladeheart might have survived. If not, he should have been revived already in the cathedral."

After that, she turned to look at her soldiers. "Next time, talk to me if something like this happens. I am not tolerating someone trying to abuse their position and their powers just because of their upper hand. I will make the judgment whether they needed to die or not."
