Chapter 205: Chapter 139 The Crown Prince Has a Bit of Green on His Head (2)_3

Antasia did not wish for conflicts to exist between her future husband and Mr. Brave, as that would be bad news for the Prince.

"Perhaps I could relay your thoughts to the Prince," Antasia said with a smile.

Qin Chu spread his hands, "Better not, it will bring you unnecessary trouble."

He pulled out a towel and wiped away the blood on his hands, "I see that you all seem very tired, and it’s already quite late. Night is when demons are most active. Perhaps you could rest a bit, and we will continue our journey tomorrow morning."

Although Antasia really hoped to return to the Imperial City as soon as possible, Qin Chu’s words made sense.

Moreover, even though the wounds on her guards had been healed, they had nearly exhausted all their Physical Strength and indeed needed some time to recover.

Qin Chu and those four guards buried the maid and guard who had been killed by Antasia’s side. A bit further from the remaining bodies, Qin Chu found a relatively flat area, started a fire, and shared some of his food with Antasia.

Antasia chewed slowly, the firelight illuminating her face as clear and translucent as ice, expressionless, and no one knew what she was really thinking.

Today was destined to be an unacceptable, heavy day for Antasia that needed proper digestion. Despite being a distinguished Princess, she had faced an assassination attempt, and a large number of maids and attendants had died in the attack.

And, the prime suspect was her future husband.

...

The next day, as soon as the morning sun began to shine on her face, Antasia opened her eyes.

An extra coat was draped over her body, seemingly belonging to Mr. Brave.

Catherine held her Heavy Sword in both hands, leaning slightly against a large tree, while Miss Violet sat on a tree branch, gazing into the distance.

Antasia wanted to form good relationships with both Catherine and Violet, but unfortunately, both of their personalities were very aloof and hard to approach.

As for the petite lady who had saved her and the guard yesterday, after entering Qin Chu’s body, she hadn’t appeared again.

Qin Chu fell from the treetops, stretching and yawning, "Good morning, Miss Antasia... I wanted to prepare a delicious breakfast for you, but unfortunately, we don’t have much food with us, and we ate it all last night. Moreover, perhaps because of yesterday’s battle in this area, we can’t even find a single small animal nearby, so we’ll have to go hungry as we move on."

Antasia smiled back, "Mr. Brave, the women of the Ice Country are not so fragile."

Antasia was not boasting. Although she was a delicate Princess, she could fully keep up with Qin Chu’s pace. Even if her exquisite gown was torn by thorns in the jungle, she did not care in the slightest.

When Qin Chu found the way back to the Conrad Camp, it was already noon.

Morton, Jason, and Christia were organizing the soldiers, searching in the surrounding jungle while preparing to dig through the collapsed rubble. When they saw Qin Chu appear, these three exceptionally strong masters almost felt the urge to sit down right on the ground.

It was such good news that Mr. Brave was unharmed.

They asked Qin Chu what had happened, and he simply lied, saying that Violet had used a Magic Scroll to send him away, but the location was a bit off, which is why it took him until today to return.

The three of them did not probe further. To them, the fact that the Hero was still alive was more important than anything else.

Moreover, not only did Mr. Brave survive, but he also happened to save the Princess of the Ice Duchy, the betrothed of the Prince...

A few people did not dare to neglect their duties, fearing that something might happen to Mr. Brave again; they requisitioned some warhorses from the camp, and without a word, they headed straight back to the Imperial City.

...

Right at the gate of the Imperial City, the Prince was leading the ceremonial guard in wait, for appearances had to be maintained.

He had been waiting from yesterday evening until now, certain that Antasia could not possibly appear in the Imperial City, but not wanting to stay in the dark room, he persisted in waiting at the gate.

To the uninformed, it was even moving how devoted the Prince seemed.

As dusk gradually approached, the Prince yawned. He was becoming weary and prepared to return to the dark room for some sleep, but just then, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a succession of tiny dark figures emerging in the distance—seemingly a troop of warhorses charging, kicking up clouds of dust.

When they drew a bit closer, the Prince finally saw clearly that the person leading them was none other than Morton, the captain of the Guard Knight Order.

Had Mr. Brave returned?

The Prince felt irritated inside, aware that Morton and some masters from the Holy Court and the Earth Mother Goddess Sect had escorted Mr. Brave on his training journey.

He didn’t plan to meet with Mr. Brave and was ready to leave.

However, quickly, two figures emerged from behind Morton.

One was Mr. Brave, Qin Chu, whom the Prince despised the most.

And the other... even at a great distance, it was still visibly a very familiar and beautiful woman, perhaps because of horseback riding, her ice-blue hair fluttering behind her.

That was his fiancée, Antasia.

The Prince’s body shivered violently, and his facial expression instantly turned very weird.

Why was his fiancée appearing together with Qin Chu? Why was Antasia still alive? Could it be that Qin Chu had rescued her?

This damned bastard, always ruining his plans.

The relationship between the two of them appeared to be quite good; even while riding, they were continuously talking, and with Fighting Energy gathered in his eyes, the Prince could clearly see—although not knowing what Qin Chu had said—Antasia was being teased into covering her mouth and laughing lightly.

Soon, he saw it: draped over Antasia was a man’s coat—that was... was that Qin Chu’s coat?

They hadn’t spent last night together, had they? Why was Antasia

wearing Qin Chu’s coat? Why did she look so ragged, as though her skirt had been forcefully torn?

His fists clenched subconsciously, his teeth grinding together with a creaking sound.

A gust of wind blew by, and the Prince felt as if something had landed on his ceremonial hat. He reached up to take it off, and it was a verdant green leaf!
