Chapter 956 Anthony
Chapter 956 Anthony
"Princess, you really even leveled yourself this low to run away? You are Princess Fiarra, the heiress to the throne. No one was more capable than you to be the next king!" Anthony's eyes flashed with cold glint. He adored the princess for so long and he knew her as someone untoucheable and cold. The princess had never opened her heart to anyone, not even to her own family.
Yet he discovered her here serving as a personal maid of a nobody? How could take it as the truth?
"The throne doesn't matter to me." Fiarra shook her head and said, "Anyone can take the throne if they want. I won't complain."
It's not like she liked being a heiress to the throne, after all. In fact, if only she could choose, she didn't want to be one. She wanted to step away from too much world complications and live in peace.
Of course, she knew it's impossible. Anthony was right. No one could take the throne except for her. The Serifinio Royal Dynasty had been the ruling family of Thousand Elf Kingdom for many generations now. They couldn't let other families have it.
"Princess, please don't force me to drag you." Anthony sighed deeply. He was trying to calm his emotions, "You need to go back now or it will be a disaster for us."
Anthony presented himself to be part of the search party for the princess. Although he was a distant relative, he wanted to showcase his ability that he could also be a candidate to become the princess' husband. With his looks and talents, he certainly couldn't lose out.
"Boy, you heard my maid's answer, right? She is not going back with you. She will go home on her own accord so you don't need to force her." Jin Rou said. Since the other party was pushing the buttons, he didn't stay idle anymore.
"You aren't part of the issue so stay out of it." Anthony was almost blinded by rage, "If you want to keep your life, let the princess go."
"Bold words." Jin Rou chuckled, "I wonder if you're aware of what you're talking about?"
"Young Noble, let him be." Fiarra stopped Jin Rou, "He's just pressured by our family to bring results, that's why."
She didn't want meaningless blood spilling here and with Anthony's blood at that. No matter how she dislike him, she couldn't let him die here. Not in front of her.
Jin Rou could tell what she meant and said, "Then we will be leaving now. Since you are good maid, I will spare his life even after being audacious."
"Who's sparing the life of whom?" Anthony took out his bow and was about to attack when Fiarra moved, punching his nerves to shutdown his mental responses.
With the punch, she made Anthony faint with a difficulty in breathing. She looked at him and coldly said, "It's better that way rather than dying here without knowing how you die."
Jin Rou smirked and walked over past Anthony and left the room. Fiarra did the same and didn't turn back. Anthony would be fine in a few days so she didn't need to worry.
It was a type of warning, but if he refused to learn, then Jin Rou might be forced to make a move instead.
She already gave him a chance to live, it's up to him how to cherish it.
Jin Rou and princess avoided all the gathering people outside. Anthony's appearance in the inn had garnered attention and people were making a fuss, wanting to know what was happening.
"You seem to knowing more about me." When they were already away from the town, Jin Rou said. Judging by Fiarra's actions, she was aware that she needed to save that man named Anthony.
It wasn't surprising that she could discover a one more or two secrets. She had those eyes after all. Furthermore, Jin Rou didn't bother hiding some so it turned out that way.
"Just a little, Young Noble." Fiarra couldn't help but gasp each time she remembered what she saw yesterday. The man felt like a huge tower piercing the sky, an endless height and authority. No one would be able to escape from his clutches as long as he didn't say so.
Even 12-Words Era Emperors had to take the alternative way to avoid him.
Their Thousand Elf Kingdom had stood since the start of time and remained standing and strong until now. So their records of history were abundant. Even the information that shouldn't be known to most people were recorded in their private annals.
Fiarra had read some secret information regarding someone who challenged the heavens over and over again. He was dubbed to be the most terrifying existence that could bring tremble and despair to any clans and sects.
Fiarra was assuming that this man was the man from the information she read but she didn't try to confirm it. She knew that divulging to more information would only make her life threatened.
Even if that's not the case, Fiarra's instincts were warning her not to make the kingdom offend this man at all cost no matter what.
"I'm going to Dragon's Plate." Jin Rou changed the topic. He noticed that the princess was carefully thinking about what to say.
"Dragon's Plate?" Fiarra had read some books regarding the place.
The Dragon's Plate was a tourist spot of Dalensale where cultivators were welcomed by mortals. The mortals living in the plate had a special privilege and no one should dare offend them. It was strange why mortals were guarding the place, but people learned how to accept the truth.
"As far as I know, even our kingdom has the rule of not intervening with their affairs there." Fiarra said. Although Dalensale was the continent of many elven races, there were a few places that they couldn't control. And Dragon's Plate was one of them.
"You cannot or you will face catastrophe." Jin Rou chuckled, "Those mortals in the plate are not someone anyone in the region can trifle with."
