Chapter 433: Inappropriate Comments
Chapter 433: Inappropriate Comments
Portgreen, the city created by the Sage King to be a place for all races. After difficult times, it is finally on the right way.
Under Ron's administration, Porgreen is growing more and more, accepting many people from the Alliance, and even some people from the former Light Empire are accepted there as long as they have no racist thoughts.
The people are living in peaceful times, and they don't fear wars anymore. And even though everyone agrees that Ron is an excellent administrator, everyone knows that the reason for such a good time is Lucien, Cassidy, and the famous Queen Eve.
All over Portgreen territory, everyone doesn't get tired of talking about Lucien, Eve, and even Amelia is famous, just like all his women.
Even today, the day of Ron's engagement to Zora, the former Queen of the Nunid Kingdom, half of the things people talk about are Lucien and his sisters.
Although Ron tried to keep such a ceremony as a simple event, people couldn't help but celebrate in the name of his happiness. While most people celebrate in the streets of Portgreen City, the royal castle is still the most lively place, and in front of Its gates, a mysterious figure lands.
*Whoooosh*
As soon as Eve lands in front of the castle, she quickly gets everyone's attention, first for flying without wings and not levitating like mages and second for her stunning look.
"Who is she?" One of the royal guards, the men of Neola's old group, asks his partner as he falls in love with Eve at first sight. Well, most men who don't know her easily fall in love with her like that.
The second guard is also impressed by Eve's beauty. "I have no idea... But since Master is not here, maybe we could have a chance..."
The other guards smile. Although they are very loyal to Lucien, having him away is the only way they can get a woman's attention.
Eve hears those words and gets really angry. She very much wants to rip out the eyes of any man who looks at her in a lustful way.
But part of her doesn't want to get her hands dirty with such disgusting and unworthy creatures as men. Also, she doesn't want to end up killing all Portgreen's men, which could upset Lucien.
Then she walks towards the gate while allowing her imposing aura to flow around her freely as she gazes at the guards with a stern expression.
"?!?!?!" The guards instantly feel their bodies get heavy, and their legs bend, making them kneel as Eve passes them.
She is not using her Gravity Ability, but just her prideful aura, which is enough to make the guards even unable to breathe in the presence of her.
Even after she enters the castle, the guards are still unable to get up. The expressions on their faces are mixed with fear, shock, and respect.
"So... powerful..." One of them comments.
"And dominant..." Another guard lies on the floor because his legs are shaking a lot.
"Why the more beautiful a woman is, the more fierce she is too?" Another guard asks as he remembers Cassidy, Astrid, and Scarlett.
The first guard shakes his head. "I think it is so that only men like our Master can conquer their hearts."
His friend sighs. "Yep, you're right. We shouldn't fall in love with women we could never have a chance with."
The other guards make sad expressions while agreeing to those words. But then one of them smiles. "Don't be depressed, my friends. Our Master can tame all the fierce women in the world, for him and for us!"
"Yeah!!" The others smile as they trust their hopes on Lucien.
Then one of them makes a lewd expression. "That woman is lucky that our Master is not here because as soon as she tried that trick on him, he would make her kneel and suck his cock."
*Tremble* *Tremble* *Tremble* *Tremble*
The area a mile around the castle begins to shake, while inside the castle, Eve has a flushed expression on her face. She obviously heard those comments, especially the last one.
But she doesn't move, which leaves Pride confused. 'What is wrong with you? This castle, or rather, this whole city, should already be falling apart after those comments.'
Eve doesn't know if she is furious or embarrassed. 'They are loyal to Luci... I cannot kill such loyal servants. And they didn't really offend me...'
'...' Pride says nothing while she feels like rolling her eyes. She could kill those men, but she also doesn't want to make trouble with Lucien.
After entering the castle's main hall, Eve looks for some of her servants. In the meantime, she keeps getting everyone's attention.
While men are mesmerized by her beauty, women notice other things, especially her facial features.
"That woman..." A young woman comments.
"I know, she looks like him..." Another continues.
"A lot! She is very similar to him... our King..." The first one keeps staring at Eve.
A third woman appears while commenting. "How can she be so much like him? Is she..."
"Queen Eve!!" An excited voice sounds, surprising everyone. Then a beautiful elven girl appears and kneels in front of Eve.
Eve's face again becomes serene while having a firm expression, making her look really like a royal and noble Queen.
"You are in Luise's group, right?" Eve asks.
"Yes, my Queen." The elf responds in a respectful tone as she continues to kneel.
Only then do other people there remember the legends about Eve and how severe she is. So, everyone quickly kneels in silence.
"Take me to her," Eve speaks in an authoritative tone, and the elf quickly guides her to the second floor of the castle.
Even after she leaves that place, the other people are still kneeling. They can still feel Eve's aura, making them respect and admire her.
"She is so cool!!" One of the servants comments while she is now sure that Eve is Lucien's sister.
The elf takes Eve to a huge hall on the second floor, where she sees several people having lunch. Among those people, she sees Luise and Sabrina talking to a middle-aged couple.
"Queen Eve!!" Sabrina, the bear-girl of Lucien's troops, has the same reaction as the elf when she sees Eve quickly kneeling on the floor in front of her.
Luise also kneels, as does everyone else in that hall. Eve smiles at her loyal servants and walks over to Luise after stroking Sabrina's round ears.
"You seem to be enjoying the time here..." Eve comments.
"The hospitality of the people here is excellent, but..." Luise smiles at Eve. "Nothing is better than being beside my Queen, serving her the best I can."
Eve smiles back at Luise. "I know. But I needed you here, and now... Well, you can't come with me right now, but you can join Luci's group."
Sabrina's eyes sparkle when she hears Eve talk about Lucien. Ron and Zora also recognize his name despite Eve speaking it in her affectionate manner.
"Aren't our troops following you, my Queen?" Luise asks.
Eve shakes her head. "Send half of them back to the Alliance, and the other half stay here."
"Yes, my Queen," Luise responds and then looks at Ron and Zora. "My Queen... do you remember Ron? He's King Lucien's right-hand man, and this is his fiancée."
"..." Eve looks at Ron and Zora with a neutral expression. She knows that Ron is Lucien's most loyal male servant, but she can only see a man, which she really doesn't like, and an unfamiliar woman in front of her.
Yet, she also knows about Ron's relationship with Angela and Kara. So Eve tries not to look so hostile. "You are Kara's uncle, right?"
Still kneeling, Ron nods and speaks respectfully. "Yes, my Queen... If you allow this humble servant to ask, how is the little brat?"
"She is fine." Eve quickly answers.
After getting to know Ron better, Luise also thinks he is a good person, unlike most men, so she tries to help him. "My Queen... Ron and Zora are working very hard for the sake of the Kingdom and how they are going to get married... Well, it would be great if your majesty and the King could attend their ceremony."
"Hmm?" Eve looks at Ron with an inquiring expression.
He quickly explains. "My Queen... King Lucien had some problems in the Nunid Kingdom before, but everything has been resolved, and Zora has always cooperated with us. However, I would like his blessing to marry her and also to know what he thinks of our administration."
"If Luci trusted that task to you, it is because you can do it and must not fail..." Eve speaks in an authoritative tone. "Yet, I am going to inform him about your ceremony."
"Thank you, my Queen," Ron speaks respectfully, and Zora does the same. He finally chose to get married because it is tough to take care of a great Kingdom alone, and Zora has helped him a lot with the administrative part.
Eve doesn't look at Ron a second time before walking to the door while talking to Luise. "Take me to the angel."
"Yes, my Queen." Luise quickly follows Eve after smiling at Ron.
Ron can see many similarities between Eve and Lucien. Not only in appearance, but she is also arrogant and authoritative like him. He and Lucien became friends after cooperating, but he doesn't think he will have such an opportunity with Eve.
When she arrives at the door, Sabrina bows to her, and she stops to stroke the bear-girl's cute ears again. "You must be missing your Master, don't you?"
"Serving my Queen and King is an honor..." Sabrina speaks honestly. But then her face blushes. "However, I really miss Master..."
Eve smiles. "You can go back with Luise. Luci is in the same place that we met that time."
The cute bear-girl's lips curve into a beautiful smile as her eyes sparkle. "Thank you so much, my Queen."
While Sabrina can't wait to return to Lucien's arms, Luise takes Eve to a cell in the castle's dungeon. That cell is protected by several magical barriers and many Alliance troops, as well as some of Portgreen's strongest people.
Eve enters the cell and sees June lying on a small bed. Several of her bones are still broken, especially those of her wings. She also looks sick and weak even though Sabrina brought her food and water every day.
Pride materializes her body and shakes her head. "Oh, it looks like the poor little angel is sick."
"However, she is fortunate..." Eve comments. "Her master will really come to save her shitty angelic ass..."
"My Master???" June jumps out of bed, showing that she is not so bad.
