Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

Princess, You Are Nothing

"Your Majesty!" The king's guards quickly surrounded King Bredia when he tried to rush to the battle stage. The coordinators on the other hand were stunned to see the sudden appearance of Princess Katherine. Since she used a powerful Legendary level teleportation scroll, they weren't aware of her arrival. Just as the coordinators were about to land on the battle stage, the princess leaped at Ghost with her daggers raised.

Andrew could barely lift his hand towards Michael. He wanted to utter the words 'don't hurt her' yet failed to do so.

"You monster!" she shouted, swinging her daggers at Michael.

Seeing the princess trying to attack Michael, Nightmare bore his teeth. Claire felt the dragon's body becoming hotter and hotter.

"Little one" Claire brushed the dragon's head to calm him down. Claire wasn't worried about Ghost, she was worried about the princess.

All the nobles in the VIP pavilions along with the commoners stood up from their seats. They all were either too excited or worried about the princess.

"Monster me?" Michael chuckled while evading the dagger easily.

"You heartless bastard!" she was shouting while violently swinging her daggers. Michael just kept moving his body with his hand behind his back.

He could see the king flying towards the battle stage with his royal guards.

"You have the courage for this but not for talking to your father?" Michael snickered, swiftly moving his body away from her daggers. He moved like water, swift and smooth.

"Kids shouldn't play with these" Michael suddenly flicked the princess's wrist as she lost the dagger. In a blink of an eye, he made her lose another dagger with another flick to her wrist.

"See how weak you are" Michael threw the daggers outside the battle stage.

"STOP!" The king's shout echoed through the arena. The Princess's body froze. Her anger slowly faded away while she started to come back to reality.

The king's royal guards immediately surrounded the princess. They were all at the Core Strengthening stage level 8 and wore full metal armor from head to toe.

At the moment, they all surrounded the princess, staring at Michael through the hole in their helms. Michael didn't dare to hurt the princess as it would turn the entire Bredia kingdom against him. However, that didn't mean the princess would escape without paying the price for trying to kill him.

"Kathy! What is the meaning of this?!" The king's facial muscles twitched. He shivered in anger. Since everything went into a chaotic state, the coordinators paused the battle. Immediately, Sabrina flew to the battle stage along with the Winstons.

"GHOST WON!"

Standing in the River town pavilion, Ricky, the sneaky bastard shouted, riling up Ghost's fans. Soon, a few disciples followed Ricky's shout, then a group started to shout and in a few moments, entire fans of Ghost were shouting in unison.

"GHOST WON!"

"GHOST WON!"

"GHOST WON!"

"GHOST WON!"

"GHOST WON!"

The badass points began to go up yet again.

"I love Andrew!" The Princess's shout however sounded louder than the cheers. The cheers immediately stopped after hearing her words.

"You can't make me marry another man. I will rather die than marry this monster"

The king was too stunned to utter another word. In his whole life, he had never seen Katherine act the way she was acting at the moment.

"You're nothing but a heartless bastard, not even his parents wanted him. They threw him away like a piece of trash. How can I marry this piece of trash?!" Since Katherine couldn't hurt him with daggers, she started to spew hurtful words.

Diana couldn't help clenching her fist. She wasn't the gentle Diana in her heart anymore, Harriet Hunt who was buried within her heart had returned. She wanted nothing but to rip off the princess's throat.

"Me? Piece of trash?" Michael asked after realizing the king wouldn't say something to shut her daughter. He was too stunned to utter any words.

"No matter how strong you become, how rich you become, you will never be someone like Andrew. You will never have the last name, you will always be someone who was abandoned by your parents!"

Michael was getting really pissed off at the princess. He had nothing to do with their little scheme. If he was Andrew, he could have found a hundred ways to get King Bredia's permission instead of depending on Noah and Lailah to do something impossible.? Of course, Michael had to give credit to Noah to put together a plan that would have gotten Andrew what he wanted in a short amount of time. If it wasn't for him, Andrew would have won the competition.

If anyone should be blamed, it was Lailah. As far as Michael was concerned, she should have told her vulnerability against him to Andrew or Noah.

"Let… me… go" Nightmare grumbled. Claire's hands began to hurt due to the heat Nightmare radiated. There was no doubt that if she let go of the dragon, he would go burn the battle stage in fury. Even the gentle Claire began to feel anger boiling inside her after hearing the princess's words.

Ethan creased his brows. He wanted to shout as loud as he could that Ghost is his son, not an orphan. However, he knew if he did that, the entire Skyhall would come down on his son with their full power. Skyhall wasn't something anyone could win against. Even the great clans wouldn't go against the Skyhall.

While the princess was cursing at Michael, Sabrina made Andrew drink a healing potion. The wounds on the outside and the internal wounds gradually healed up as Andrew slowly opened his eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk" Michael shook his head with a narcissistic smile on his face. He looked around the arena before turning his gaze back at the princess.

"Even though I am an orphan, I have an identity.? The Core disciple of the Sunrise sect,? a prodigy, a man who reached the 100th step in Heaven's gate competition, and"? Michael paused for a moment to look at the crowd once again,

"The 5-star Alchemist of Bredia,"? his cold voice sent a chill running through everyone's spines,

The smile on his face finally disappeared as he stared at the princess,

"Without that princess title, what are you? Humph" Michael snickered.

Many gasped, hearing Michael's question. There was no fear in his eyes. No one would dare to disrespect a princess in public yet Ghost did exactly just that in front of her father, the king, and thousands of people.

Michael wasn't afraid of the king anymore. He now had two major powers behind him; the Kane family and the kingdom of Thusia.

"Take away that princess title and you are nothing, not even a piece of trash. NOTHING" The princess shivered in anger. Even when GHost was beating the crap out of him, Andrew never felt any anger towards Ghost. However, hearing him district the girl he loves, Andrew's anger exploded within him.

"Katherine!"

King Bredia's shout reverberated in the arena. He was too mad at his own daughter to the point he failed to get mad at Michael for disrespecting her. Perhaps the king deep down knew the princess deserved what she got after cursing Ghost and acting like a spoiled brat.

"I am not a puppet you can marry me to whoever you want!" Katherine stomped the ground,

"I will marry no one but Andrew. I am not afraid of you any more, father!" Katherine lost all her composure. Her attitude and her words made King Bredia's body tremble in overwhelming fury. Guards who stood closer to the King could hear the king's teeth grinding noise. His breathing got heavier and faster,

"You will marry this man" King Bredia pointed his finger at Ghost.

Michael was so annoyed by the father and daughter duo. This was supposed to be settled inside walls but the princess brought the family matter to the eyes of the public. Not only that, they dragged him into the middle of their family feud.

In the corner of his eyes, Michael saw Calvin give him a node, wordlessly expressing his support for Ghost. And just when Michael was about to reject the princess, Katherine began to chuckle as tears began to roll out of her hazel eyes.

She looked at Andrew who was being held back by Sabrina and Emelda.

"Forgive me father" She said looking at King Bredia. Then she turned her watery eyes towards Andrew,

"I hope I will get to live with you in the next life, Andrew. Please forgive me" As she said these words, a purplish vial appeared in her hands.

"Kathy!" Andrew shouted as she dashed forward. No one knew what was inside the vial but anyone could tell it was not something she should drink.

However, it was too late as she already chugged the entire vial. Some of the Royal guards tried to stop Andrew while the others caught the princess who was falling.

"NO!"

"KATHY!"

King Bredia and Andrew dashed at Katherine, shaking all the guards around them. In the giant mirror, the crowd saw Princess Katherine's rosy skin slowly turning purple. Blood oozed out of her nostrils, mouth as well as her eyes. Her body violently twitched.

"HEALERS!"

King Bredia fell to the ground and lifted his daughter's head. Andrew also came to the princess's side. He held the princess's hand. The king was too worried about his daughter to mind Andrew.

"No…no…no…don't…leave… me" Tears rushed out of Andrew's eyes. His tears watered Katherine's face. Seeing his daughter's body twitching violently in his arms, King Bredia's heart ached in pain. The flashes of him holding the princess for the first time when she was born flashed across his eyes. That was the happiest day of his life. At the moment, he was not a king but a failed father.

"Well well well, this is an interesting turn of events" Unlike Andrew and the King, Michael wasn't shedding any tears. He was looking at the princess with a blank expression. As far as he was concerned, they could just hold a funeral on the battle stage. He couldn't care less. All he wanted was the rewards; the barony. He had a few plans for the Bradford barony,
