The Green King's Wrath (4)

Milo usually kept these things to herself, with no one to confide in. Now that she had finally met someone who could listen to her, the princess poured out everything that had been weighing on her mind.

In that instant, I felt much more comfortable.

He grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp, feeling refreshed.

The strong liquor burned my stomach, and I felt a little hungry. Come to think of it, I'd been so busy drinking that I hadn't eaten anything at all.

Milo instinctively reached for the steak on the table, but before he even touched it, he realized that such an action was rather impolite.

Habits formed in the military are hard to break all at once.

She glanced furtively at Qin Chu in front of her, then imitated Qin Chu, using a fork to cut the steak into small pieces, chewing them in small bites... Even though she was already quite drunk, she still cared about such things.

Honestly, I'm really not used to eating like this.

This sight, as seen by Alfred outside, only fueled the Elf King's rage.

Despicable, despicable, despicable...

This careless woman, how dare she put on such a pretentious act in front of this random stranger who appeared out of nowhere?

Disgusting, disgusting.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. It was a good thing that Milo had taken a liking to another man, but now he just felt angrier and angrier.

It's like a dog that used to circle around you, suddenly running off with someone else.

That strange, uncomfortable feeling was unusually strong.

Qin Chu glanced at Princess Milo in front of him, noticing Milo's discomfort. He smiled slightly, picked up a whole piece of meat with his fork, and took a bite, his lips greasy. "Speaking of which," he said, "I'm not really used to knives and forks either. This is much more convenient."

Milo's eyes suddenly lit up; he felt the more he looked at the man in front of him, the more pleasing he became. "Oh... I see. I'm not used to it either."

Then, imitating Qin Chu's method, I took a bite and ate half a steak in one go, and that awkward, uncomfortable feeling finally disappeared.

After her stomach started to grow a little bigger, Milo began to ramble on and on about her troubles... She didn't know why, but even though she had only met this man today, she felt very comfortable talking to him, and could say whatever she wanted without any reservations.

"I'm not young anymore, I'm well past the age of marriage, but because of those messy rumors, the young nobles in the kingdom keep their distance from me."

"I was finally betrothed by my father to His Highness Alfred, the Elf King, but he treats me with indifference and coldness."

"Actually, I understand now. A careless woman like me is naturally unworthy of the Elf King."

"What's worse, His Highness the Elf King's fiancée has recently appeared out of nowhere."

At this point, Milo seemed to have completely lost all his strength, his whole body slumped onto the table. "Although I only glimpsed her for a brief moment, she was such a lovely woman. Now I'm completely out of luck, right? I guess I'll never get married in this lifetime."

"Well, whatever, I'm just an unwanted gorilla anyway..." Milo muttered dejectedly.

A faint smile still lingered on Qin Chu's lips.

He finally understood why Milo was at the inn's entrance and why he was so angry.

So, Milo's fiancé is the same Elf King Alfred, who is also the fiancé of Sylph mentioned in Athena's report?

Hmm, he is indeed a very handsome man.

Qin Chu glanced out the window; to some nobles with rather eccentric tastes, this seemed like a decent pet.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I came here to eat, but I made you listen to me ramble on for so long." Milo seemed to realize this only then and felt a little embarrassed.

"By the way, I still don't know your name?"

"My name is Qin Chu."

Qin Chu?

Milo pondered the name, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Qin Chu? You're not...?"

"Second-Generation Hero of the Skyvault Continent, currently also serving as the Pope of the Holy Church..."

"Furthermore, Your Highness Milo, please rest assured!"

Qin Chu's smile suddenly turned cold, "Sylph is my woman!"

Chapter 432 The Green King's Fury (4)

Sylph was Qin Chu's woman.

He deliberately raised his voice, not only for Milo to hear, but also for the handsome elf outside.

To reiterate, this man is extremely petty.

Even if it's an enemy, he will absolutely not allow anyone else to touch a woman he has been with, no one is allowed.

Even with his immense strength and unwavering will, Milo was still taken aback by Qin Chu's words.

Second-Generation Hero?

The new Pope of the Holy Church?

Sylph is his woman? Does that refer to Alfred's fiancée, that mysterious and beautiful elf?

For a moment, Milo was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Now she finally understood why Qin Chu hadn't shown any surprise or bowed after learning about her identity as a princess.

Second-Generation Hero, the Pope of the Holy Church... Either of these identities is something a princess can't compare to.

The Hero are the hope of the Skyvault Continent, and the Holy Church is one of the most powerful forces on the Skyvault Continent, with an influence far exceeding that of a kingdom.

A little calculation will make it clear: how many War God, or even stronger than Title Knight, does the Exeter Kingdom actually have? On the surface, there are no more than seven.

But the Holy Church has that many Knight Order alone, not to mention the commanders, archbishops, cardinals, saints, and the most powerful pope.

Apart from the Empire, a fully-powered Holy Church could crush any other nation.

Milo never expected that the man who had been sitting in front of her with a smile, listening to her complaints, would have such an exaggerated identity. For a moment, she even forgot to get up and greet him.

Although this princess was tall and imposing, she was also very perceptive. Various thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant. What did this dignified Hero, who was also the Pope of the Holy Church, want to do in this remote little country?

He just said that Sylph is his woman... Could it be that he came to deal with the matter because he knew his woman was being harassed by Prince Alfred?

Milo panicked instantly.

If Qin Chu really came to deal with the harassment of his woman, then... the Elf King is in danger.

Milo sobered up considerably in an instant.

But before Milo could prepare what to say, Alfred outside finally exploded.

The handsome Elf King stood quietly outside the window, wanting to see just how shameless these two scoundrels were, watching them being all lovey-dovey... well, in Alfred's mind, that's probably what they were imagining. But the man tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest and endure it.

Even if my teeth are about to break.

But now, when he heard this despicable man dare to boast that Sister Sylph was his woman, Alfred's anger was completely ignited in that instant.

Patience vanished completely in that instant.

Sylph, she's his...

With a suppressed roar from his throat, Alfred flicked his fingers, and a narrow, long rapier suddenly sprang out.

It's more accurate to describe it as a slender metal strip than a rapier.

It has no hilt and the end is extremely sharp.

With a flick of his wrist, he held the rapier between two fingers, and with a hiss, a hole was instantly pierced through the glass, which then shattered.

A cold glint flashed like a shooting star, aimed straight at Qin Chu's brow.

As expected of the Elf King, known as the Gale War God, his strength was on full display with this one move.

Speed is Alfred's forte.

Even if you are born with superhuman strength, and your fists can split mountains and shatter rocks, you will find it difficult to dodge this storm of attacks.

Moreover, all the power is concentrated at one point, so even if you are wearing heavy armor and supported by a powerful magical shield, you will be instantly pierced through with a bloody hole.

The speed was so fast that it seemed as if time in the entire hotel had completely stopped at that moment. Alfred's figure could no longer be seen with the naked eye, leaving only countless afterimages remaining in place.

How much time, exactly?

One-tenth of a second, or even less?

That's a time that's hard for ordinary people to perceive; it travels even faster than the sound of glass shattering.

Princess Milo didn't even have time to hear the sound of shattering glass. She only felt goosebumps all over her body in an instant. It was a purely instinctive reaction. Her right hand grabbed the spiked club leaning against the table with lightning speed and swung it at the glass with a whoosh.

Just ahead, afterimages shattered like shards of glass and vanished without a trace.

The powerful gust of wind emanating from the spiked club even shattered the walls, filling the entire restaurant with smoke and dust.

But the afterimage also sent chills down Milo's spine. She immediately recognized who had attacked the Hero —it was none other than Alfred, the Elf King she loved.

In that brief moment, countless thoughts flashed through Milo's mind. She wanted to stop him, but Alfred was simply too fast. Even Princess Milo couldn't stop him in time and could only watch helplessly as the distance between that sliver of cold star and Qin Chu grew closer and closer.

"Don't want..."

Just as the blade was about to pierce Qin Chu's brow, Alfred flicked his finger, and a wisp of cold star instantly multiplied into seven. No one knew which of these seven was the true attack.

Seeing that Qin Chu was still holding a wine glass, Alfred's face revealed a sinister smile.

That good-for-nothing is dead meat.

This kind of trash actually dares to call himself Hero?

Just as he was about to assassinate Qin Chu with his sword, Alfred's expression suddenly changed from a sinister grin to a sinister one.

The rapier was gripped by two fingers and could no longer advance.

Alfred didn't even know when those two fingers had been raised, and the sword bent into a snake shape under the impact.

The next second, with a snap, the rapier broke in two.

With a series of popping sounds, metal fragments flew everywhere, and holes immediately appeared in the surrounding tables, chairs, floors, walls, and ceilings.

Alfred's pupils contracted, and his body shuddered slightly as a fine layer of goosebumps instantly appeared on his skin, which was even more delicate than a woman's.

How did this man manage to accurately identify which of the seven attacks was the real one?

And how did this man react at such lightning speed? How could someone be faster than him? That's impossible!

Call...

Princess Milo also breathed a long sigh of relief at this moment.

In any case, it's good that Qin Chu is still alive.

If Qin Chu dies, that would be a real problem.

The Hero is the hope of the Skyvault Continent, and now he is the Pope of the Holy Church. If Alfred succeeds in assassinating the Hero, the dozen or so countries of the Skyvault Continent, along with the power of the Holy Church, will certainly not let Alfred go.

Even if Alfred is incredibly powerful, he would surely be unable to withstand such strength and would die without a burial place, and even the Exeter Kingdom would be implicated.

Moreover, once the Hero is killed and the Skyvault Continent is trampled under the iron hooves of Magic Creature, how can the Exeter Kingdom remain unscathed?

Alfred couldn't see through these things, but Milo understood them perfectly.

Just then, Qin Chu finished the liquid in his glass in one gulp.

The wine glass was slowly placed on the table, making a soft sound.

It was fast, but that was about it. For Qin Chu, whose level had finally broken through ninety and whose attributes were far more exaggerated than his level, the Elf King's speed was only slightly faster than a snail.

A pair of cold eyes swept over the figure before him, a hint of disdainful mockery playing at the corners of his lips. "The Elf King Alfred?"

"Many people want to kill me, who do you think you are?"

"Of all the people who still want to get rid of me, you're probably the most despicable one."

That's true. Just think about who wants to get rid of Qin Chu.

The Demon King Nag, Nag sons and daughters, Rosweisse, Eileen, a former member of the Hero's Party who has been missing for a long time.

And then there are those few strange, ugly monsters in the Void.

Compared to these, Alfred is really insignificant.

Qin Chu was telling the truth, but the truth is the most hurtful.

His nonchalant voice showed he didn't take the Elf King seriously at all. Alfred, a man of high status and formidable power in the kingdom, had never suffered such humiliation before.

His handsome face flushed crimson in an instant, his eyes turned bloodshot, and a beastly roar could be faintly heard emanating from his throat.
