Deities: Starting From Goblins
Chapter 1065 - Chapter 1065 Chapter 596 Death Abyss_2

Chapter 1065: Chapter 596 Death Abyss_2 Chapter 1065: Chapter 596 Death Abyss_2 Old Master Hime made his intentions clear, he insisted that the other party take responsibility for the matter.

Logan furrowed his brows subconsciously, appearing quite helpless.

“Old Master Hime, why must you insist on forcing someone against their will?”

“Forcing someone against their will? No matter the reason the embroidered ball ended up in your hands, it did, and with so many people watching, if you refuse, wouldn’t my Hime Family lose all face? My daughter would be looked down upon by others. Therefore, you must marry my daughter no matter what!”

Logan was helpless and found it impossible to reason with this man, so he maintained his silence.

In the end, he took a deep breath and asked each word deliberately,

“What if I adamantly refuse?”

When he spoke, his tone carried a slight threat.

Clearly, if the person before him dared to coerce him, he was also ready to turn hostile at any moment.

Unfortunately, Old Master Hime was not the least bit afraid of his threats or coercion.

Upon hearing this, he just scoffed coldly.

“Hmph, there aren’t many matters that my Hime Family intends to do that can’t be accomplished. Come, bind the groom for me, send him immediately into the bridal chamber, and let’s hold the wedding ceremony now, change him into the wedding attire at once!”

Clearly, Old Master Hime intended to present a fait accompli, giving no opportunity for refusal.

Logan:…

This was simply the act of a hooligan–was he planning to force a deal?

Following Old Master Hime’s order, several thugs approached swiftly.

Logan glanced at them briefly; their cultivation levels were not low–all of them were at the level of the Holy See.

It seemed that Old Master Hime indeed had some resources at his disposal and had made a substantial move.

Logan didn’t move at first, nor did he reveal his own strength. He merely clenched his fists slightly, assessing how he might escape.

To be honest, since it was, after all, a bit his own fault, he dared not act rashly for the moment. Although Old Master Hime was forcing a deal, his words were not without reason, and moreover, the strength of these people was much lower than his own. There were so many innocent bystanders around, and unless necessary, he didn’t want to be too aggressive.

Just when the stalemate between the two parties seemed on the verge of erupting,

a cold and noble voice rang out.

“Stop!”

Almost everyone turned at the sound, curious about who could project such an ethereal voice.

All they saw was a sedan chair slowly approaching, the chair itself made of extremely high-quality material, with intricate carvings and decorations all around. Calling it a sedan chair was almost an understatement; it looked more like a small, mobile palace.

“Wow, who could it be? Such extravagance!”

“Look at those Eastern Pearls hanging from the sedan’s canopy; those are usually tribute items, aren’t they? Common folk hardly ever see them. I’ve never seen pearls so round and large. But for the owner of this sedan, they’re just for show, not even to be worn. Truly a display of affluence.”

“Yes, and look at those carrying the sedan–so dignified and impressive. It’s clear they have high cultivation levels. And the maids standing by the sedan are as beautiful as Heavenly Immortals. Who could be the person inside, with such a status?”

Everyone was shocked by this ostentatious display, and for a time they dared only whisper amongst themselves, not daring to speak too loudly or to speculate openly, as their gazes flickered with various thoughts.

Even Old Master Hime, who had been behaving like a newly rich tyrant just moments ago, inadvertently took a step back.

Coming from a slightly wealthier background, Old Master Hime could better appreciate the value of these items.

The owner of the sedan chair was obviously either rich or noble. Their exact station was unknown, but it was certain they were above them.

Old Master Hime didn’t dare to offend lightly and naturally shrank back like a quail.

As a delicate hand stretched out, someone opened the curtains, revealing all inside.

A woman of sublime beauty stepped out gracefully, dressed in court attire with a long skirt and a serious, long scarf draped over her arms.

Her lovely face was delicately made up, with a touch of floral makeup on her forehead.

Indeed, she was resplendent and elegant, embodying nobility.

Just as everyone was stunned by her presence, unable to react,

one of her maids already began scolding them.

“How daring! Kneel in the presence of the Princess!”

Everyone then came to their senses, realizing that the person before them was a Princess.

After exchanging looks, the crowd knelt all at once in a row.

“Greetings, Princess. A thousand years of life to the Princess!”

No one had expected that such a small town would witness the arrival of a Princess of such stature.

Indeed, the Princess exuded an extraordinary aura; everything she wore was of the finest quality, reflecting the grandeur and wealth of the Royal Family.

The commoners dared not look up, and when they did, they quickly lowered their gaze again.

Even the previously arrogant and overbearing Old Master Hime completely dared not to act recklessly in front of the Princess, behaving as meek as a lamb, following suit with courteous gestures.

The Princess merely glanced at Old Master Hime indifferently, as if looking at something unimportant, swiftly shifting her gaze away without giving it a second thought.

“Logan, let’s go,” she said.

Logan looked at the Princess, feeling a complex mix of emotions at their reunion.

He had assumed she would have something to say regarding his behavior, but to his surprise, when she finally spoke, it was to extricate him, her sparse words revealing nothing of her thoughts.

Logan’s gaze flickered momentarily before he recovered his composure.

“Alright,” he replied.

As Logan followed beside the Princess’s palanquin, about to leave,

it seemed that Old Master Hime was somewhat disgruntled, he looked up, wanting to say something but pausing as he looked toward the Princess.

“Princess, this person…”

He was about to lodge a complaint, but before he could finish, the Princess’s authoritative gaze bore down on him from above.

The moment Old Master Hime caught that look, he instantly fell silent.

“What, do you have any objections to my words?” the Princess asked coldly.

With just that chilly threat, Old Master Hime didn’t dare utter another word, merely bowing his head and clasping his hands in a salute, the picture of reverence.

The Princess continued to regard him with a silent stare for a good while.

Until Old Master Hime was almost trembling with difficulty standing,

she then magnanimously opened her thin lips to speak.

“Let’s go,” she said.

“Proceed,” ordered a maid beside her, and the carriage slowly moved forward.

“Logan, why don’t you catch up, I have some words I wish to share with you,” the Princess suggested.

Logan paused in his steps, his gaze profound, but in the end, he followed.

Sheron Perri’s gossiping eyes moved between the Princess and his captain before quickly withdrawing, aware that it was not his place to make noise before the Princess.

However, the captain was indeed the captain, even having a connection with the Princess.

Logan merely followed behind the palanquin, which caused the Princess slight displeasure.

“Why are you walking so slowly? Are you afraid I might eat you?” she asked.

Logan made a respectful gesture.

“I wouldn’t dare,” he said.

The Princess was still very irritable, and also somewhat unwilling to accept.

“You wouldn’t dare? Then walk a bit closer to the front; you must maintain eye level with me. I have said I wanted to talk with you. Logan, are you deliberately avoiding me, keeping your distance?” she said, growing more irritable and giving Logan a fierce glare.

Logan’s eyes stirred slightly, but he said nothing, just looking at her.

The Princess, faced with the face she had once longed for, faltered and ultimately softened her temper.

“Ah, Logan, why do you think it is that we are fated but not destined?” she asked.

Logan didn’t know, nor could he come up with any reason to explain.

Worried that speaking too much might displease the Princess, he chose to remain silent.

Meanwhile, behind him, Sheron Perri almost couldn’t believe his ears.

What, the Captain and the Princess really had an affair, some story from the past?

He had been guessing blindly, and hadn’t expected to hit the nail on the head.

Now, his gaze became teasing, infused with an indescribable nuance.

Alas, the Captain’s romantic fortunes really did make others feel inferior.

Especially since not even the lofty Princess could catch the Captain’s eye–it truly made one wonder what kind of person the Captain preferred, and the thought was tantalizing.

The Princess, receiving no response, seemed to have anticipated this, not showing too much disappointment, only occasionally letting a fleeting shadow pass across her downcast eyes, then slowly burying it within.

She was a proud Princess, after all, and couldn’t afford to lose face, even in rejection.

To avoid embarrassment, she swiftly changed the subject.
