Chapter 207: Chapter 141 The Princess’s Intentions (Chapter 4 Completed)

What?

Antasia was shocked by Qin Chu’s words, and immediately shook her head desperately, indicating that it was absolutely not possible.

If she were merely the Princess, it might be feasible, but she was also the fiancee of the Prince, and she had to avoid any possible scandal at all costs. If she really lived in Qin Chu’s house, it would definitely provoke idle gossip.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Brave, but the conditions here are already quite good. It’s no problem," Antasia said quickly.

Qin Chu’s invitation made all four guards feel that the Prince, despite his noble status, was far inferior to Mr. Brave in character.

If their Princess were not marrying the Prince but Mr. Brave instead, they would feel much more at ease.

Given Mr. Brave’s character, he would surely cherish Princess Antasia.

Qin Chu chuckled, "Miss Antasia, I know what you’re worried about."

"But now is not the time to think about that. The more important issue is your safety."

Antasia’s expression turned a shade darker.

"You also know the assassination attempt won’t just end with one try. There might be a second time, a third time. Even if this is the Imperial City, it’s not entirely peaceful."

"I will not fear. Although my strength is not as great as Mr. Brave’s, I am also capable of fighting," Antasia said softly, biting her lower lip with her white teeth.

She was just struggling.

"Then, have you considered what your father would do if you truly died here, and whether the Ice Duchy and the Empire might go to war?"

"Actually, you’re clearer about this than I am: the burden you bear is not just the responsibility of a Princess Consort, but also the heavy task of maintaining the relationship between two nations. You don’t have the luxury of choice."

"Logically, you should be arranged to stay within the Imperial Palace, guarded by the Royal Guard, but the Prince tossing you here is a clear demonstration of irresponsibility. As of now, other than my place, there’s nowhere else that can ensure your safety."

Actually, there are also the Holy Court and the Earth Mother Goddess Sect... But, if Antasia took refuge with the Church, that would be almost equivalent to directly slapping Wozworth’s face, which would be even worse than staying at Qin Chu’s.

Antasia remained silent; she knew Qin Chu was right.

Although the chance of another assassination attempt was merely a possibility, she had to consider this potential occurrence.

Compared to the possible consequences of being assassinated, avoiding suspicion seemed less important. And Qin Chu’s palace, with the Crimson Valkyrie, Violet, and that elusive lady, was undoubtedly the safest place in the Imperial City.

And just in time, Antia emerged from Qin Chu’s body.

Even though Antasia and her four guards had seen this scene before, they still felt an indescribable strangeness. Such a way of appearing was indeed too bizarre.

Antia walked up to Antasia, gently took hold of her small hand, and without saying a word, just looked at Antasia for a moment, then tugged her towards the direction of the palace.

Antasia felt flustered; she did not understand why this powerful and mysterious lady was paying her so much attention, but she did not feel repelled by it.

"Then, Mr. Brave, I entrust this matter to you."

"Don’t mention it," Qin Chu said, spreading his hands.

He couldn’t refuse Antia’s request.

Antia rarely asked him for favors.

Violet watched everything with her usual smile, almost never voicing her opinions.

As for Catherine, perhaps because Antasia had previously said she was the red beauty of the Hero, the Crimson Valkyrie felt quite favorable towards Antasia and did not oppose her presence.

The palace became increasingly lively. On seeing Antasia, Angelica merely muttered under her breath that her master had brought back another woman.

But obediently, according to Qin Chu’s instructions, she prepared rooms for Antasia and the four guards separately.

The dusty Princess needed to bathe, and taking this opportunity, Angelica came to the living room where Qin Chu was spending time with Karlin, teaching her how to recognize characters.

"Master..."

"This is an invitation from the Royal Family, inviting Master to attend Miss Antasia’s welcoming banquet this evening," Angelica handed a gold-embossed invitation to Qin Chu.

As the Hero, he was naturally expected to be invited.

"Just put it over there," Qin Chu said, sharply noticing that Angelica seemed to have more to say. "What is it?"

"Master, is it really appropriate to have Miss Antasia enter the palace? After all, she is the fiancee of the Prince..." Angelica said carefully.

"Don’t worry about it. If Wozworth gets angry, I will explain it to him. He might go and give Lance a good beating," Qin Chu said unconcernedly.

Since the master had decided, Angelica chose not to say anything more, only cautiously reminding her master to avoid committing any serious missteps.

"There’s something else..." Angelica hesitated even more.

Qin Chu was truly curious. Angelica was usually talkative around him, so what was going on today?

"I... I hit someone yesterday," Angelica confessed with a troubled face, seemingly blaming herself for not keeping control, which might cause unnecessary trouble for her master.

"Who did you hit?"

"Two nuns from Rose Vesper, they..."
