Chapter 441: Hello, My Princess~
"???" Aqua was taken out of her stupor by the voice of a man.
She turned her head in the direction of the voice, and after realizing who it was, her expression darkened.
"You didn't greet me, My Princesss~ I was beginning to think that you didn't care for me~"
The man who was speaking was the divine prince of the Fire God Empire and was also the one who was meant to marry Aqua.
He was wearing overly opulent dress attire, with a black and gold outline adorning the area around the tassels that covered his body.
Furthermore, there was enough jewelry covering his body that if he wanted to open up a jewelry shop, all he would have to do was walk in there and start undressing!
Although the sight of him undressing would definitely be a terrible one, considering how many fat roles he had stacked on him
It was due to all this fat that even his appearance was unable to be discerned by anyone
Aqua looked at the chubby prince with a cold gaze, feeling the itching urge to kill him right this instant.
And just as her frigid aura was about to be released, a few cordial voices sounded out from an aisle in their section of the VIP stands.
"My Lady, you must see the ongoing fights! They truly are spectacular!"
"Yes, My Lady, please view the fights at your own leisure, specifically the ones with that corpse-like man in them!"
"My Lady, pay no heed to these bumbleheads. But if I were to recommend you do something, then it would be to come over and see your mother, seeing as she has called for you."
Three figures dressed in noble-like outfits were seen walking over toward the princess.
However, there was something oddly familiar about these three figures
...
"What are you talking about, brother Ayalah?? Do you not possess eyes!? How could that corpse-like man amount to anything???"
"I feel that there is something special about that man, brother Spiritflame! Just trust me on this one and put all your money into betting that he will win it all!" Ayalah responded with a confident expression.
"Pish posh! Nonsense! Let's just ask Sir Percival what he thinks about this!" Spiritflame replied with a begrudged tone, his figure moving in the direction of the leading nobleman.
"What do you think, Sir Percival?" He asked after he made it a few feet away from the leading noble figure.
Percival turned his staid gaze away from Aqua as he looked at the two bumbling buffoons and said, "I think you both should stop this nonsense and begin helping the princess get over to her mother and sister."
A dangerous aura was leaking from the youthful version of Percival as he stared down at Ayalah and Spiritflame with a deadly gleam in his eyes.
"!!!" "!!!"
They both became a little frightened at the look Percival was giving them.
And that was all it took for them to walk over to Princess Aqua and start leading her away from her seat.
"What are you doing?" Aqua questioned with a cold tone.
"We really must go, My Lady," Ayalah replied, his hands attempting to guide the princess through the luxurious stands.
"Yes, My Lady. If we don't go now, then that fiance of yours will never leave you alone," Spiritflame said with sweat raining down his face.
Aqua listened to the words of the two foreign nobles, as she felt like they made sense.
But when she looked down and saw that two men were clutching her arms, her gaze froze over as she looked at them with killing intent leaking out of her expression.
Although Aqua was far weaker than Spiritflame was, when she glared at him like that, he immediately let go of her arm.
It was the same for Ayalah as well
"..." "..."
Nonetheless, they looked at the blue-eyed princess with pleading eyes.
Aqua observed their expressions as she knew that they were just doing their best to help her.
*Sigh* She sighed before walking past the two of them while saying, "Fine."
Afterwards, Aqua, Spirtflame, and Ayalah walked away from the eastern section of the VIP stands.
And in their place, they left Percival and Sir Pervasshat staring at each other with varying gazes.
"Are you trying to ruin my fun, slave??" Pervasshat questioned with fury evident in his tone.
"Of course not, Good Lord. I simply do what I must for the increased relations between my Duke household and the AquaRing Kingdom." Percival responded in a condescending way, although his demeanor was still cordial.
"!!!" Pervasshat was infuriated at the gall of this 'Duke', as he actually dared to interrupt the enjoyment of a divine prince!
"Just wait until my father gets here! Let's see what will stop me from acquiring my fiance then!" He spat out with a reddened face.
"Very well. I look forward to the day that your mother comes to 'acquire' your fiance," Percival replied in a nonchalant way before walking away from the enraged divine prince.
"This unknown bastard from some hick boonie kingdom dares to look down on me in such a way!?"
Pervasshats' infuriated voice reverberated throughout a barren section of the VIP stands.
However, when he caught sight of the back view of Aqua, his fury was assuaged a little as he licked his lips with a disgustingly lascivious look on his face.
"Just wait until I get my hands on that body of yours, my fiance~ I will play with you whichever so way I choose to!"
After getting out those deplorable words, Pervasshat and all his fat rolls disappeared from the stands.
'I will wait for my father to arrive! And then let's see how much longer you can hold out from being mine!'
His thoughts faded out as he headed in the direction of an airspace outside of the Coliseum, seemingly treating the entire competition as a joke.
But little did he know that this competition would alter the course of his life for years to come
