Chapter 174: The Dilemma of the Prince



Chapter 174: The Dilemma of the Prince

Hey guys, Aidka's here!

Firstly, sorry, I have not been reading the comments lately. The last two weeks were really hectic for me, and I barely managed to keep the schedule.

Done with that, it's time for the good news!

Since today until next Sunday, we will have double chapters every day!

Thanks to my P4TRE0NS that supported me to do this possible!

Now, enjoy :p

...

"I surrender." The cloaked man raised his hands and yielded.

Liu Ying was dumbfounded. She was just getting started!

In fact, only now Liu Ying was finally feeling pleasure.

Unfortunately, as soon as the cloaked man raised his hand, the referee stopped the battle.

"The winner is miss Liu Ying!"

With these words, the battle finished.

When Liu Ying returned to the stands, Javelin and the others were looking at her in awe.

"Miss Liu Ying, you are awesome!" Prince Calisto said with sparkling eyes. He seemed as though he had finally met his idol.

But not everybody was happy with the results.

"You How did you do that?" Gimbal, the second prince of The Great Savannah, spoke up. "What kind of trick did you use?"

Liu Ying tilted her head confused. She then stared at Bloed asking him what in the hell was happening.

Bloed smiled wryly and shook his head. He was not in the mood to lose his time with this fool.

Javelin was different, though. He smiled mischievously and smirked at the prince. "It looks like you lost the bet, Prince Gimbal. When are you going to pay?"

The prince's face turned cold. "Let's bet again. You are at the A-Rank, right?" He said while looking at Javelin. "I will send one of my A-Rank men to the arena. The bet is the same."

"W-Wait, big brother. There is no need." Prince Calisto waved his hand flustered. "I-I don't care about the bet. J-Just forget about it."

Gimbal snorted. "I won't go back in my words, little brother. Now, send your man to the arena. I'll send mine too."

Prince Calisto fell silent and bit his lips. He was looking at his brother with an aggrieved expression.

But at that moment, Javelin took a step forward with a smile.

"Where is the man you will send?"

Gimbal stared at Javelin for a moment before calling out one of the men behind him. "Anir, step forward."

A two-meters tall wolfkin man stepped forward. He stared at Javelin with an intimidating gaze as though daring Javelin to fight him.

Javelin curved his lips up in a smirk. "So he is the one, huh." Then, his figure disappeared.

"Careful!" One of the prince's men warned, but before someone could move, Javelin appeared again, this time behind the A-Rank with a dagger pointing to his neck.

"Such trash, he doesn't deserve my time." With a mocking smile, Javelin retrieved his dagger and returned to his previous location. "Prince Calisto, Mr. Bloed, Miss Regina, Miss Liu Ying, sorry about this situation. I think it's better if we go back."

Bloed looked at Javelin in amusement and shook his head, taking the initiative to leave. Regina, Liu Ying, and Illina followed after him.

Only Prince Calisto was still dazed unable to understand the situation. But when Javelin pulled his arm, he also left.

"Are you sure it is alright?" Bleod asked when they left the arena. "He is a prince after all. It was not necessary to offend him like that."

Javelin shrugged. "He is just a prince, there are several others like him. Besides, although my relationship with my family is not the best, my position is not low. I don't need to fear an arrogant prince."

" I still don't understand what happened." Liu Ying muttered confused. Illina smiled and explained everything to her.

Meanwhile, the little lionkin prince bit his lips and bowed to Bloed and the others.

"Sorry about that, I ended causing you problems."

Bloed sighed. " You should not be like that, prince. Giving way to the people that go against you will not make them stop. Instead, they will continue asking for more each time."

" I know, but I'm not interested in this I don't think I have what is needed to be a king. If I fight back, my siblings will take me as a competitor."

"While you remain here, you will continue being a competitor," Bloed said with certainty. "If you are truly not interested in the throne, then find a way to leave. Go to a place distant enough where you can't influence the situation here. Only then your siblings will lose interest in you. Of course, you can stay if you want, but then you should get ready to face your siblings as enemies."

" I'll think about it."

Bloed nodded and did not say anything else. He had said enough, the rest depended on the little prince himself.

Instead, he stared at Liu Ying and smiled. "Congratulations on your victory, by the way. Five thousand gold coins, huh. That is a lot."

Liu Ying grinned. "It's a shame he gave up in the middle. I was just getting started and he got cold feet."

Bloed smiled without replying. He was not so surprised by that. After all, the abilities Liu Ying showed were a bit overwhelming compared to her enemies.

But speaking about Liu Ying's abilities

"I think I did a mistake." Bloed sighed dejectedly.

"Huh?" The group stared at Bloed in confusion, unable to understand what he meant.

Bloed smiled wryly and pointed to Liu Ying's gloves.

"These. They are a nice piece of equipment, but its effects only activate after contact with the enemy, so they are not compatible with [Silent Touch]. I guess I will have to modify them again Mmm, I'll need to think of a way to combine them with [Silent Touch]. Liu Liu too. She also needs a few modifications."

" Is it alright?" Liu Ying asked a bit embarrassed. But Bloed just grinned. "You even stole a kiss from me, why are you embarrassed about this?"

Liu Ying blushed and lowered her head.

" Idiot, that is not the same."

Bloed smiled after teasing Liu Ying, but then, he realized the group was looking at him strangely.

" Is there anything on my face?"

"No no." they shook their heads while Regina spoke up. "It's just that it's our first time seeing master flirt in public. Master, do you mind doing it with me too?"

Bloed shook his head amused. Were they trying to make fun of him?

"By the way, Mr. Bloed." Prince Calisto suddenly raised his hand with a curious expression. "Do you know how to craft magic tools?"

"A little bit."

"Wow." The prince's eyes shone excitedly. "Can you teach me, please?"

"Prince, stop bothering Bloed." Javelin scolded him. " You should not ask about the secret techniques of others."

Bloed smiled and did not answer. Suddenly, though, he noticed that Liu Ying was frowning with a pensive expression.

"Is anything wrong?"

Liu Ying shook her head. "Nothing, it's just that Javelin, are humans common in The Great Savannah?"

"Humans? I don't think so. It's unusual to see other races in the beastmen countries apart from in the headquarters of Moonlight Glow. Why are you asking?"

"Nothing important It's just that I think the cloaked man I fought against was a human."

The group was taken aback. Javelin then put a hand on his chin and furrowed his brows.

"Certainly, that is unusual."

In the arena.

The cloaked man arrived in front of a group with a helpless look in his face.

"... I lost."

"Pfft... Hahahaha, to think you were so smug but ended being defeated by a girl!" A voice laughed happily at the cloaked man.

"It was truly unexpected." Another young man said with a smile.

The cloaked man sighed with a despondent expression. "That demon girl was good. It was hard to avoid her attacks, and it felt as though an invisible enemy was attacking me. Of course, I could have won if I showed my trump card, but it's something we need to keep hidden for now."

The young man nodded in understanding before putting on a curious expression.

"A demon, huh Do you think they are here for the same reason as us?"

" I don't think so. The demons have nothing to do with the current situation. Although we can't discard the possibility of them coming to fish in muddled waters."

The young man nodded.

"We need to pay attention just in case then. Let's go back. We were invited to a ball tonight."
