Raised From The Wild-Chapter 135: Is It A Terrorist Attack?

Marx and Amaya proceeded to the construction site to check on the workers if they were affected by the blast. Thankfully, the location was shielded by Mount Daya so the site did not incur any damage at all.

Mount Ibra was cordoned off. Only the military personnel and the police were allowed to go to the area.

Marx, Amaya and the few guards returned to where the helicopter was. A group of reporters and paparazzi met them but was immediately blocked by guards.

"Princess Amaya, is it true that this island is owned by you?"

"What is your motive of calling out the netizens to put out the fire? Is it because you owned the island?"

"Princess, some people are scolding you in the internet. They said you are selfish and you took advantage of other people to serve your interest. What can you say about this?"

Amaya felt wronged. While she was indeed the owner of the island, she has not taken advantage of the people. Her eyes misted and she looked sad.

"You don’t need to answer them and you don’t need to tell them that the island is yours." Marx whispered into Amaya’s ear. He lowered the visor on her head so it covered her face.

"Princess, why are you running away? Is it because what they said is true?"

Amaya who was about to board the helicopter looked back. Her gaze turned sharp as she sought the man who just spoke.

"I did not take advantage of anyone. I can compensate those who sent their aircraft to put out the fire. Don’t you know how much more carbon monoxide would have been dumped in the air if that fire was not put out?"

Marx used his body to block Amaya from the reporters. He held her waist with both of his hands then lifted her and pushed her into the helicopter.

They left the area as soon as all the guards went into the helicopter.

The netizens who watched Amaya’s live-streaming were criticizing the reporters who were harsh on the princess.

’How dare they? My dad did not even complain. Besides, he did it out of his love for Lireya.’ 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

’My Mom was so angry to those who slander the Princess! They should go to hell.’

’I bet they just want to get some exposure.’

’Does anyone know what was the cause of the explosion? I thought it was a volcano erupting but then there was no prior news. Besides, there is no volcano around the capital.’

’The Lireyan Monarchy hasn’t announced the cause yet. Princess Amaya, can you share with us what happened? Why was there an explosion? Why was the forest on fire?’

’Are there terrorists in Lireya?’

More and more people were clamoring for answers.

Meanwhile, the Lireyan Security Council were meeting at the Asteria palace.

"Your Majesty, the two submarines that we apprehended self destructed. We are gathering the debris from both the submarine to study them." The general of the naval fleet reported.

"We found out that there is an underground facility in the mountain, Your Majesty. One of the entrances were a big cave. They did not have enough time to pack up and the explosion has not totally destroyed the underground facility. We found traces of equipment used for cloning. It looked like the princess was right. They are cloning the animals." General Rosendo of the army stated his report.

"Your Majesty, the fire on the mountain was put out in less than an hour. Thanks to the help of the First Princess. She called on the netizens to talk to their dads and uncles to send their aircraft to help put out the fire. Around twenty five choppers came to help dump water on the burning forest." The Airforce General shared his own report.

King Duncan had a proud smile on his face. The Crown Prince looked pleased. His daughter was getting more and more capable.

"Your Majesty, people are asking what is the cause of the explosion. There are speculations of a terrorist attack." The head of Media and Communications finally got the chance to speak.

"You can proceed and give an official statement that it was a foiled terrorist attack and acknowledge the efforts of our military officers."

...

Meanwhile in a luxurious yacht cruising near the Lagoona Bay south of the Capital, an angry voice was hurling curses at everyone in a big room. The room was used for entertainment.

"You are all useless piece of trash! Don’t you how much money those equipment and the submarine cost?"

The twelve men in blank dared not look at the emperor. Didn’t he give the order to activate the program for the submarines to self destruct? They did not want to do it as a lot of their animals and men were inside that submarine and yet in a blink of an eye, with just a push of a button, the submarines were gone and lives were lost.

They were lucky that they left earlier on a smaller underwater craft and did not take the submarine.

"Are you sure that there are no traitors amongst your men? How come the security forces of Lireya came very fast. Even the fire in the forest was put out very fast. How could it happen if there is no one who tipped them off?"

"Emperor, there is no indication that our people betrayed us. It is the First Princess of Lireya. She seemed to have a very good intuition. She also called on the netizens to help put out the fire. A lot of the business tycoons in the capital responded to her call and sent their choppers over and the fire was put out easily."

"And who was the idiot who planned that attack last night? If not for that, then we are not on this mess."

The twelve men looked at each other. "It was Agila, Emperor!" The youngest amongst the twelve men spoke bravely.

The emperor’s eyes narrowed as he sized up the youngest member of the twelve. Agila has died when the two submarines self destruct.

The Emperor thought for a long time. He kept on flipping a coin on his hand. He threw it in the air and when it landed on the table, it showed a tail.

"Tell Rowena to write a letter to the King of Lireya. The King of Ra-iya would like to seek a marriage alliance with him.

Ra-iya was the fourth kingdom in the continent of Aesiana. In the olden time, Aesiana was ruled by only one king. The king has four sons so he divided the kingdom into four. At that time, the oldest and the youngest brothers were not at peace with each other so the elder brother was given the part where he was neighbors with the second and third bothers, but he was separated from the youngest brother with a body of water on the south. On the east, it was the kingdoms of the second and third brothers separating them.

The emperor has hatched a plan to get revenge for what he lost that day. He just needed to be patient.

He typed something on the keyboard in front of him. The profile picture of Princess Amaya appeared on the screen in front of him.

His breath hitched. She was one of the most beautiful princess he had seen. She just celebrated her eighteenth birthday and a video of her 18 Roses Dance was posted online. He watched it from start to finish. He saw that the princes of Albanya and Lupanya were interested in her.

He searched more about her and found videos of her first few days in Usturia. He played the video where Amaya took off her clothes and jumped into the pond in slow motion. Her naked body was covered by her waist length hair so he did not see much. But he could tell how beautiful her body was.

’I wanted to kill you for for messing up with my plan. But since you are beautiful, I’ll play with you first before sending you to hell.’ The emperor reached out and touched the monitor. A closeup photo of Amaya was displayed on the screen. He traced the outline of her lips with his thumb while a sinister smile was on his face.

...

The following day, Amaya woke up early. She felt that there was something vey important she has forgotten. When she arrived at school, a few young ladies were anxiously waiting for her.

Amaya’s eyebrows, went up. She was wondering what these people were up to.

"Princess, we are your team members in the race. Did you forget that today is the start of the sports fest?"

Amaya facepalmed herself. So that was the one that she has forgotten.

"Sorry, a lot of things happened that I forgot about it." Luckily she was wearing her sneakers but surely she cannot compete wearing a shirt and her school uniform.

"Don’t worry Princess. We have prepared a shirt for you. All participants are required to wear this kind of shirt." A girl in ponytail handed her a paper bag with a shirt inside. She took it out. Printed at the front was the word ’Rocas’ and at the back the No. 1.

"Why is it Number 1?" Amaya was curious.

"It is because you are the First Princess!"
