Chapter 434

Just as Nadula had said, Merica was in big trouble.

"Merica …"

Lucia was already in a state of complete fear. She hid beside Merica, her body trembling as if she would cry at any moment.

"It's … It's okay, Lucia. Don't be afraid."

Merica held Lucia's hand and comforted her. In fact, her face was filled with nervousness. Not only did she bite her lips, but she also held Lucia's hand tightly. If others knew, they would know that she wasn't in a good mood.

In front of Melica and Lucia, Adel led Aki and Rend to block the way of the young ladies while sizing them up with presumptuous gazes. The smile on his face was polite, but it was very deliberate and pretentious.

Or rather, it could be said that Edward's eyes were filled with extreme excitement.

It was a sign that his sadistic heart had been stimulated.

It was obvious that Melica's nervousness and Lumia's fear had stimulated the duke's son's happiness.

Therefore, not only did Edward not restrain himself, but he also became even more aggressive.

"Why are you so nervous?" Edward said with a smile. "I just want to invite both of you for a meal. That's not too much, is it?"

Hearing this, Lucia was speechless. Merica was also very afraid, but she still mustered up her courage to speak.

"I … I am in a difficult position. Really, can you not be like this?"

Merica tried her best to express her thoughts.

However, Merica didn't know that her current appearance was not only unconvincing to those who harbored evil intentions, but it also strengthened her image as a 'pushover'.

At least, that was what Edward thought.

Therefore …

"You don't know how to appreciate favors, young lady of the elf race." "Let me tell you the truth. I am the son of a duke. My father is the head of the House of Liusica. I am the next duke and the betrothed of Princess Lea, who is the first in line to inherit the throne. Even the royal family of the elves have to be polite to me. Are you sure you want to disrespect me like this?"

"Ugh …" Merica was speechless.

If what Edward said was true, then his status was indeed not something that someone like her could defy.

Although the elf race was a very noble and transcendent race, especially the royal elves, who were the symbol of nobility in the human world and even human kings had to pay respect to them.

However, the Mithra Kingdom was also a country of the brave. It was founded by the brave who had defeated the Demon King. The royal elves of this country were also existences that the elf race deeply respected.

Once upon a time, the Elf King was a companion of Hero Mithra. He was friends with the ancestors of the Elbe Family and the outstanding warriors of the Hero Group, which was the predecessor of the Imperial Knight Regiment. It could even be said that he was one of them. In the war a thousand years ago, he and his companions of the Hero Group fought against the Demon Beasts of the Six Great Demons, leaving his name in the annals of history.

Because of this, the relationship between the elf race and the Mithra Kingdom was very good. If the elves left the forest to train, they would usually come to the Mithra Kingdom. Very few of them would go to other countries.

Because of this, the royal elves could be said to be an unreachable existence to the royal families of other countries. However, the royal elves always had a bit of respect and affection for the Mithra Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, if Edward was really the fiancé of the royal princess, then it was not strange that the royal elves would become polite to him.

Moreover, even if the royal elves could be impolite, Merica could not.

This was because Merica was only an ordinary elf. She came from an ordinary family in the home of the elves, and was far from the noble royal family.

"Do you understand now?" Edward smiled proudly and said, "Since you understand, then you should know what to do, right?"

As he spoke, Edward gestured to Aiji and Rende beside him.

Aiji and Rende looked at each other, then expressionlessly stepped forward and released their auras.

That aura caused Merica's expression to change.

"Level 70 …"

Those two knights were actually above level 70.

Knowing this, Merica's heart was filled with despair.

With these two powerful Knights here, he wouldn't even be able to resist.

Not only was there a difference of more than 20 levels, but she was also a Mage. At such a distance, as soon as she chanted a spell, the other party would immediately attack and subdue her.

Melica's voice trembled as she realized this.

"I can go with you, but you have to let my companion leave."

Yes, Merica was prepared to compromise and at least protect Lumia.

"No! Merica! "

Lumia realized this and shook her head continuously with tears in her eyes.

Edward, on the other hand, glanced at Lumia, feeling conflicted.

After all, this orc girl was also very beautiful. Although she was not as pure and beautiful as the elves, her helpless and pitiful appearance stimulated Edward's sadistic heart.

Of all the women Edward had seen, Lumia might not be the prettiest, but she was definitely in the top five.

If not for Merica's presence, Lumia would also be an exquisite prey in Edward's eyes.

It was a pity that Merica had the blessing of her race and was the best of the best.

As the existence closest to the Protoss among humans, every elf was so pure and beautiful, the perfect object that everyone yearned for. In terms of looks and hobbies, to Edward, Merica's priority was even higher than Lumia's.

Thus, after thinking about it, Edward made a decision.

"Since Miss Sidhe has said so, alright then. I'm not an unreasonable person, so I'll let Miss Sidhe leave."

Edward said nonchalantly, but in his heart, he was thinking to himself.

I'll think of a way to get this elf first and send someone to keep an eye on the Canine. After I succeed, I'll find a chance to bring her back.

Edward was not prepared to let go of either of these rare beauties.

Merica and Lumia, who did not know what Edward was thinking, fell into an argument.

"You … Hurry up and leave! Lumia! "

"I don't want to!"

"I'm begging you! Hurry up and go back …! "

"Wuwu … Merica … I can't …!"

The two girls could not help but hug each other, one looking anxious and the other crying.

Looking at the two girls, Edward did not feel pity for them at all. Instead, he looked at them with admiration, feeling a little regretful.

(If I can enjoy these two people together tonight, that will be the greatest enjoyment.)

At this thought, Edward did not want to let Lumia go.

However, the consequence of doing so might be that Merica and Lumia would fight to the death.

Edward was not worried that the two young girls would hurt him, but he was afraid that they would be too stubborn and end up like some female adventurers he had forced in the past, committing suicide on the spot. That would be a huge loss.

Adventurers were different from others. They often went on adventures and experienced many life-threatening situations.

To them, they were already prepared to lose their lives. If they were forced into a corner, they would not mind giving up their lives.

If he were to miss out on these two exquisite girls because of this, then he would definitely regret it to death.

Let's play it safe first. After all, I will achieve this goal sooner or later.

Just thinking about it made Edward's heart burn with passion.

Edward had no idea that Merica was even more unyielding than he had imagined.

Perhaps because Merica appeared to be a little timid, Edward subconsciously overlooked that as an elf who valued her purity, Merica would never let someone like him touch even a hair on her head.

Therefore, Merica had made up her mind long ago.

After Lumia leaves, I will immediately use the self-immolation spell.

Merica thought to herself resolutely.

(I wonder if Sister Vivian and Tierre will be sad.)

And Mr. Shien … Will he be sad …?

If he will … that would be great …

With that in mind, Merica kept pushing Lumia away.

"Let's go, Lumia." Merica forced a smile and said, "Let's go back and find Sister Vivian and Mr. Shien. I'm sure they will have a solution."

"Merica …" Lumia looked like she was about to cry.

On the other hand, Edward's face was originally filled with glee, as if he had thought of something exciting. However, at this moment, his expression suddenly froze.

"Wait, who did she just say?" Edward's eyes widened as he murmured, "Mr. Shien …?"

Shien …

Shien …

Isn't that …!?

"Do … do you know him?!"

Edward's expression finally changed.

However, it was already too late to change his expression at this moment.

"Whoosh!"

Like a flash of light, a figure dashed through the air at an astonishing speed. Accompanied by a gust of wind, the figure appeared before Edward.

"Bam!"

Following a muffled thud, Edward, who was shocked, did not even have time to react. He was sent flying by the kick and crashed into the wall of a building.

"Pfft!"

Edward spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with pain and shock.

"What …!?"

"Attack …!?"

Ai Ji and Reid's expressions finally changed. One side was shocked, and the other side was furious. They pulled out their swords from their waists and rushed towards the figure that was attacking them.

Without any hesitation, the two knights above Level 70 swung their swords at the figure.

But …

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

As two steel-like sounds rang out, the two longswords slashed down on the figure's body and actually caused a burst of sparks before they were immediately repelled.

"Bam!"

"Bam!"

In the next second, two more muffled sounds rang out.

"Gah!"

"Gulp!"

Aiji and Reid were kicked away mercilessly like Edward. They hit the ground and rolled on the ground.

Only then did the owner of the figure appear in front of everyone.

"Mr. Shien …!"

"Mr. Shien!"

Seeing the figure's face, Merica and Lumia were stunned at first. Then, they looked pleasantly surprised.

The figure was none other than Shien.
