Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 252

Before Casia could finish a particle beam struck his wrist. The searing pain left him speechless for a second before he let our a blood–curdling scream

Casia thought, My hand–my hand is ruined. Who the hell did this The Security Bureau can’t have gotten here this fast they also don’t have weapons this powerful and wouldn’t fire on sight

Trembling with fury and confusion, Casia turned toward the source of the shot–A group of males stood there

Each one held a weapon. They weren’t in uniform, but their chilling presence was unmistakable. They were professionals killers.

Every weapon was aimed at Casia

The moment Casia so much as twitched, another shot hit his left shoulder, sending him crashing to the floor in agony

Casta thought. “In broad daylight, how the hell did these people dare?

Casia wanted to curse, but he didn’t dare move or make a sound. One more hit, and he might not live through it

He lay there, pressing his car against the floor, listening as the males slowly approached. His heart pounded so hard he thought it would explode.

“Forgive us for allowing Your Highness to be startled. It was our failure, the royal guards said, kneeling on one knee as they formed a protective circle around Sera.

“It’s not your fault.” Sera replied, calmly straightening her slightly ruffled clothes.

She wasn’t scared. She had let herself get caught on purpose. It was a sting operation. She had noticed Casia a long time ago.

If she had simply had him arrested earlier, he would’ve only been detained for a few days. If she had fought back when he attacked, she could have overpowered him–but that wouldn’t have solved the real problem. At most, he’d get a few extra years in prison.

Now, it was over for good. Attempting to assassinate the Crown Princess was one of the Empire’s most serious crimes. Even if Casia wasn’t executed on the spot, he would be locked up for life.

Sera smiled, satisfied.

To the onlookers, her expression, her posture–it was just like her father’s. Even after a life–threatening situation, Sera remained poised and unshaken, regal and perfect, just like the new Emperor.

The mere chance to see the Crown Princess in person felt like a once–in–a–lifetime blessing for everyone there. Everyone except Casia, who stared blankly, his mind completely frozen.
