Ginger's face turned extremely pale.
She hadn't expected that the other party would completely disregard the Shirone Kingdom, their tone revealing no undisguised contempt.
The person in front of me looks young, but his composure and inherent arrogance are completely different from his appearance.
"Killing Prince Pax wouldn't actually do you any good, would it?" Ginger frowned as she looked at Pax, who was being trampled under Luo Ge's feet and groaning in pain.
You're right.
Luo Ge glanced down at the trembling mass of fat at his feet. "Killing this guy would be pointless for me."
He paused, his eyes suddenly turning cold. "But disrespect for the gods is a capital offense in my eyes, an unforgivable crime!"
As soon as the words left his mouth...
He applied slight pressure with his toes.
With a creak, the bone shattered.
A muffled thud came from Pax's chest, and his scream rose another notch.
"Mmm!"
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
At this moment, Pax was tortured beyond recognition, tears streaming down his face, and trembling all over.
Only one thought kept echoing in my mind.
Why provoke such a demon? Why provoke such a demon!
There's no going back for him in this world.
The shadow of death loomed over him, and he knew perfectly well that his life and death were now completely in the hands of the person before him.
Prince identity?
Royal power?
In front of this man, everything became a joke.
Just as Pax was sinking into despair, Luo Ge's voice suddenly rang out like a demon whispering in his ear.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone calm yet authoritative. "By the way, Aisha's mother should be here too, right? Bring her up here."
He held up three fingers. "Three minutes. Within three minutes, Ginger, if I don't see him, I'll make sure this Prince Pax dies a horrible death."
Ginger was stunned.
But Pax, as if grasping at a straw, shouted with his last ounce of strength, "Hurry! Hurry up, what are you waiting for!"
" Ginger!"
"Bring the person up to me immediately!"
Ginger turned and walked away quickly.
Pax collapsed to the ground, frantically praying that Ginger would bring the person back, or he would truly die.
Fortunately, his prayers were not in vain.
Da da da.
Less than half a minute later, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.
Luo Ge looked up and saw the woman that Ginger had brought up, who was Aisha's mother.
She wore a simple maid outfit, her long reddish-brown hair was a little messy, her purple eyes were somewhat dim due to long-term imprisonment, and a pair of small glasses perched on her nose.
Her face was so pale it was almost bloodless, and she looked extremely haggard, as if she had been locked up for a long time.
The moment Luo Ge's gaze fell upon her, his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.
etc.
This maid... why does she look so much like her?
" Lilia?"
He called out tentatively.
Meanwhile, Lilia, who was following behind Ginger, remained in a state of constant trepidation.
Upon hearing that voice, I froze in my tracks as if struck by lightning.
That sound...
That sound is...?
She stiffly raised her head, her gaze passing through the mess in the hall and landing on the boy who had spoken.
When that familiar face came into view, her mind went completely blank, and she was stunned into silence.
"... Young Master Luo Ge?"
She uttered the name almost haltingly, her tone bordering on disbelief.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought she was seeing things and mistaking young master Rudeus for young master Luo Ge.
Everyone in the world can admit their mistakes, even Zenith Paul, but Lilia will never admit her mistakes.
She would recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes.
That's Young Master Luo Ge, the child she watched grow up.
"Young Master Luo Ge... is it really you?" Her voice trembled violently, and her eyes were already reddening.
Looking at her like this, Luo Ge's cold expression vanished as quickly as frost melted in the sunlight, replaced by a warm and radiant smile.
"Yes, it's me."
"It's been a long time, Miss Lilia."
"Young Master Luo Ge, is it really you!"
After confirming that she wasn't seeing things or dreaming, Lilia could no longer contain herself.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she staggered forward, pulling Luo Ge into her arms.
"Ugh! Lilia, what are you doing?!"
Luo Ge's face was buried in the fabric of her clothes at her chest. He didn't die from the fighting, but he almost suffocated to death from Lilia's embrace.
He struggled symbolically for a couple of moments, but his body betrayed him by not moving again.
After a long while, Lilia finally let go of him, wiped her tears haphazardly with the back of her hand, and blurted out in a sob, "Young Master Luo Ge, you're not dead?"
What the heck?
Luo Ge looked completely bewildered. "I was standing right here, how could I be dead?"
Lilia pushed up her glasses, her voice still trembling and nasal. "Five years ago... Ghislaine brought back news that you, young master, encountered the Dragon God on your way to the Sword Sanctum, and... and..."
Her voice choked with emotion as she said she couldn't go on.
Luo Ge guessed what would happen next.
After waking up and not finding his own body, Ghislaine probably thought he was dead.
That's why this misunderstanding has arisen by a twist of fate; it's purely due to a lack of information.
"It's a long story."
Luo Ge waved his hand. " Lilia, now is not the time to talk about this. We have other things to take care of."
"Other things?"
Lilia suppressed the thousand words in her heart before noticing the chaotic battlefield around her.
The guards lay sprawled on the ground, tables and chairs overturned, tapestries torn off, a scene resembling the carnage of a fierce battle.
She gasped, covering her mouth, her voice trembling with disbelief. "Young Master... you did all this? Young Master! Did you come here specifically to save me?"
"Ugh, Lilia, what have I done to deserve such treatment from the young master..."
"Ah?!!"
Luo Ge felt slightly embarrassed looking at her self-satisfied expression.
Strictly speaking, it was indeed just a coincidence, but he opened his mouth and ultimately offered no explanation.
Let her think that way. Besides, if Time knew Lilia was here, it would definitely come to save her without hesitation.
Beneath the Transparent World, Luo Ge caught the sounds approaching from outside the palace.
Such a commotion in the palace naturally couldn't be kept secret from others.
Soon, shouts of "Enemy attack!" came from outside, and a large number of chaotic footsteps were converging from all directions.
Lilia's face turned deathly pale instantly. "Oh no! The Knights of the Shirone Kingdom have arrived! Young Master Luo Ge, you really don't need to put yourself in danger for my sake!"
"Run!"
" Lilia will fight to the death to protect Young Master Luo Ge." As she spoke, she rushed forward, wanting to shield Luo Ge with her own body.
Although her combat strength is not high, she can at least buy some time.
Who knows?
Luo Ge suddenly reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said meaningfully, "Escape? Lilia..."
"Ha... why are we running away?"
"Aren't you going to run away?!"
Lilia was stunned.
What does he want to do?
Ginger, who was standing to the side, also subconsciously frowned.
Keep in mind that the royal knights were arriving in droves, yet this man showed absolutely no intention of fleeing with his men.
What exactly is he trying to do?
A crazy idea flashed through Ginger's mind.
Could it be... that this young man intends to take on the entire country single-handedly?
That's impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
Even if the Seven Great Powers were to step down, they could not possibly fight a complete army single-handedly.
She drew her sword and pointed it at Luo Ge, her voice urgent as she shouted, "The entire elite force of the Shirone Kingdom is on its way! You have committed an unforgivable crime by injuring the Seventh Prince, and you will be severely punished by law!"
You have nowhere to run!
"Oh?"
Luo Ge covered his forehead and remained silent for a moment under the incomprehension of the crowd's gazes.
Suddenly, he threw his head back and burst into laughter, tears welling up in his eyes, "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
"Escape?"
The laughter abruptly stopped.
He tilted his head to look at the knights, led by Ginger, who were arriving in droves. His smile slowly faded, and his robes began to flutter even without wind.
An aura of extreme refinement emanated from him.
Everyone present felt a sudden heaviness in their chest, as if something invisible was pressing down on their heart, and involuntarily took a half step back.
Luo Ge tilted his head, and his slightly narrowed eyes finally opened a crack, revealing a cold light beneath them colder than a blade.
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"Escape?"
"Tell me."
Why did you run away?
