Chapter 146

At this moment, Shien shifted his gaze back to the princess.

Rosie was sizing up Shien. When Shien looked at her, their eyes met.

Both of them were slightly taken aback, but they didn't avert their gazes immediately. Instead, they continued to stare at each other.

Rosie seemed to be hoping to see something from this.

Shien's thoughts were even simpler. Since he wasn't at a disadvantage and Rosie was so pleasing to the eye, he just had to stare at her.

In the end, both of them didn't avert their gazes and stared at each other as if they were in a stalemate. Neither of them was willing to admit defeat.

This made Vivian want to say something, but she didn't manage to seize the opportunity.

Until after a long while …

"Does the matter you wanted to discuss with me have anything to do with him?"

Rosie turned around and asked Vivian in a soft voice.

"Yes." Vivian secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said, "His identity is a little special. Depending on the situation, it might even involve the balance between the three races. That's why I brought him to see Your Highness."

"The balance between the three races..." Rosie suddenly frowned and fell silent.

Vivian, on the other hand, cast her gaze on Sean, and her expression became unprecedentedly serious.

"Until now, I haven't asked you for confirmation, nor have I asked about your background. I just have some guesses about your identity."

Vivian finally said this to Shien.

"You should have discovered something, right?"

Hearing this, Shien fell silent.

It was impossible for him not to notice this.

Be it Vivian or Lily, both of them must have guessed Shien's identity. Otherwise, they wouldn't have helped him so wholeheartedly and even cleaned up the mess for him.

Moreover, both of them deliberately didn't pursue the problems that Shien had left behind. This was also a disguised proof.

Even though Shien didn't say it out loud, it was impossible for him not to know.

Therefore, Shien already knew that Lily, Vivian, and even Tierre might have guessed his identity.

"If you don't want to tell us, we won't take the initiative to ask. After all, this is a serious matter and we understand." Vivian's voice was very gentle as she said to Shien, "But now, I guess we have to be honest with each other. Otherwise, we won't be able to let things develop."

There was no way Sean wouldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Let me ask you this formally, Shien."

Vivian came in front of Sean, looked him in the eyes, and said word by word.

"Are you a hero?"

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the room changed.

It was no longer as tranquil and comfortable as before. Instead, it was filled with tension.

Rosie seemed to have realized something, and her eyes were fixed on Sean.

Sean fell into silence once again under the gaze of the two men.

The room.

Rosie and Vivian were waiting for Shien.

Sean, on the other hand, was thinking about all kinds of things with mixed feelings.

It was unknown how long the situation lasted.

"Phew …"

At a certain moment, Shien let out a breath.

However, Shien did not answer. Instead, he proved it with his actions.

"Swoosh!"

At this moment, Shien let go of the bag on his shoulder and threw it into his hand. Then, he forcefully opened the bag and revealed the contents in the air.

"Clang!"

As a dazzling light flashed, the gorgeous and dazzling holy sword was held tightly in Shien's hand and presented in front of Rosie and Vivian.

At the same time, Shien's aura, or rather, his aura, skyrocketed at an astonishing speed.

"…!"

"…!"

Rosie and Vivian both felt a terrifying presence appear in this space, causing their hearts to tighten. They looked at the holy sword in Shien's hand with different expressions.

"As expected …"

Vivian murmured with complicated feelings.

"…"

Rosie looked at the holy sword and then looked at Shien, whose aura skyrocketed after holding the holy sword to the point where even she felt pressured. The expression in her burgundy eyes was completely different from before.

Now, Rosie finally understood why Vivian had come to find her.

Because it was indeed a very difficult matter to deal with.

However, Rosie did not say anything. She was silent for a moment before she walked to the wall and held her holy sword.

In the next second, something that even Shien did not expect happened.

"Unseal (Heresu)!"

Rosie suddenly chanted a short incantation, causing the holy sword in her hand to suddenly tremble.

Immediately afterwards, the surface of the holy sword seemed to be able to move like a mecha. It suddenly began to slide, layer by layer, and finally formed a sword ring on the hilt of the sword.

Seeing this, Shien understood.

It turned out that there was a 'sheath' on the holy sword.

The 'scabbard' sealed the power and appearance of the holy sword, which was why it looked so ordinary.

Now, the holy sword revealed its original appearance.

Shien looked at it.

The golden hilt.

The top of the hilt was also inlaid with a golden gem.

The body of the sword was white and dazzling, and there was always a light flowing around it.

That was the true appearance of the holy sword in Rosie's hand.

"Exactly the same …"

That's right.

That holy sword was exactly the same as Shien's holy sword.

But …

…

[Holy Sword]

All skill levels + 5.

…

Shien's [Identify] skill saw this message, telling him that there was still a difference between this holy sword and his own.

This could be seen from the fact that after both holy swords were exposed to the air, Shien's holy sword was far more dazzling than Rosie's holy sword.

Of course, now was not the time to care about this kind of thing.

Now, there was only one thing that he needed to care about.

That was, the hero from the other world and the hero from the modern world met in the princess' bedroom in this palace.

The man and woman with the dazzling holy swords looked at each other, unable to speak for a long time.

At the side, Vivian was also watching this scene, and she suddenly had a feeling.

(These two might be the center of the chaos that was about to happen.)

Vivian had some understanding of this.

Then …

"Tell me."

Rosie said.

"What happened?"

Shien and Vivian looked at each other.

In the end, it was Shien who spoke first.

"Actually …"

So, Shien explained what happened to him.
