Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 21

Elizabeth was snapped out of her thoughts by Paul's voice.

"It stopped. Th-the pain stopped," he muttered.

A dark shadow appeared on Clara's face.

Neo died and 'curse' on Paul lifted.

It meant….

'He didn't use curses. It was something else,' she thought. 'He got us good.'

She was enraged.

However, she reined her thoughts and focused.

Elizabeth's curse was lifted only a few moments ago.

If it was now, Clara might be able to finish her.

The weapons floating in the room transformed.

They aimed at Elizabeth when suddenly they exploded.

Clara felt as if a truck rammed into her.

Her body flew backwards and she broke through several walls.

"Did Neo stop you two alone?" Elizabeth asked Paul.

"A-ah..."

He was still feeling the lingering pain and unable to answer.

"I asked you a question."

Suddenly, an intense pressure smashed Paul into the ground.

The weight slowly increased.

Paul could feel his body crying in pain, however, unlike before, where Elizabeth stopped in the audience hall, she continued mercilessly.

Elizabeth hated it.

She did not want to see her children in pain.

But.

She understood.

They had crossed the line.

It was either them or her.

"Krk…"

The floor cracked as the pressure doubled.

"H-he told us… he would kill us… if we d-didn't save you," Paul answered.

"How could Neo, an Awakened Demigod, threaten you and Clara. You two are far stronger than him?"

The Tyrant Queen added in a cold voice,

"Tell me everything without leaving anything out."

Just as she finished her words, Clara returned with a strong vigor.

Her body was covered in a silver armor and she held a spear.

She was smashed into the ground, just like Paul, as soon as she entered the room.

Paul was horrified when he saw his sister unable to do anything.

He explained everything.

From how they killed Neo, to how they lied to her about the purge, how Neo suddenly revived, and tricked them into thinking he could use curses.

Elizabeth's gaze softened.

She caressed Neo's hair.

He wasn't as strong as made himself look, in fact, he was extremely weak .

Elizabeth saw, and Amelia told her, just how moving from one place to another was enough to tire him out.

Still, he put himself on line to save her.

Not once, but twice.

He laid his life for her.

Elizabeth knew he must've a reason to go to this extent to help her.

However, it didn't change anything.

He was the only one who helped her when everyone tried to stab her in the back.

If it wasn't for him, she would've died, and blamed herself for everything that transpired.

She was in his debt.

A debt she wouldn't be able to repay, even if she gave him her life; after all, she could do it once but he gave her his own life twice.

"Leave," Elizabeth commanded. "I don't want to meet you two ever again."

A beat later, she blasted Clara and Paul out of the palace.

They wouldn't die from the attack.

However, their injuries would take months to heal.

It was weird.

Despite everything, she couldn't kill them.

A drop of tear slipped out of her eyes.

"Why did you return? You should've evacuated already," Elizabeth asked as she beckoned Amelia to come to her. _{freёwebnovel.com}
