Chapter 594: Chapter 428 Elf King and the Green Hat (2)_2

Gentle?

The girl ran a finger down her cheek, feeling unexpectedly hot on her face.

It was the first time someone had described her with the words "gentle."

Others, whether it be the citizens of the kingdom, her siblings, or even her own parents, often referred to her as a violent gorilla.

What the heck?

The residents of Exeter who witnessed this scene were all baffled. Was the Princess blushing?

This was practically a miracle, more shocking than a demon invading Exeter.

Speaking of which, could this man have taken a liking to the Princess? Could his taste be...

However, some people were moved to tears, as it seemed there was finally hope for the Princess to be married off.

The girl opened her mouth, emitting a sound that was both delighted and slightly embarrassed, "Gentle? Haha, I’ve never been described like that before. Perhaps only someone unaware of my identity would say such a thing."

Qin Chu spread his hands, "I’m quite curious..."

After a brief hesitation, the girl then spoke, "I am the Princess of the Exeter Kingdom, Milo!"

"So, it is Princess Milo. I am truly sorry," Qin Chu said with a smile.

Qin Chu’s demeanor caused Milo to cover her mouth lightly and chuckle, "From your tone, I can hardly sense any rudeness or surprise. It seems, sir, that you must be quite accustomed to dealing with princesses."

Milo was not as clumsy as her appearance suggested. From Qin Chu’s attitude alone, she could deduce that this man’s identity was extraordinary.

In Qin Chu’s eyes, although Milo was a bit larger and had thicker fur, her demeanor and decorum made her more fitting to be a princess than a certain princess who would use a whip to wrap around enemy corpses, dragging them around while emitting strange noises.

He didn’t respond, but simply turned slightly and glanced next to him, where a restaurant was located: "Honored Princess Milo, would you do me the honor of joining me for dinner?"

Asina and Silf had no pressing matters.

Qin Chu was concerned about those two, especially Silf, whose proud nature might make it difficult for them to access truly useful information.

The Princess before him, Milo, seemed slightly more approachable.

Milo hesitated a bit; the kingdom’s conservative culture meant that dining with a strange man as a princess might seem rather inappropriate.

"As someone new and unfamiliar with this place, it would be wonderful if a gentle soul could guide me and let me experience the warmth of the kingdom," Qin Chu said again.

Milo felt a bit disheartened and turned to glance out the window of the inn.

Oh well, oh well.

Somehow, after a brief exchange with the man before her, the anger in her heart didn’t feel as intense as before.

She withdrew her gaze, a slight smile appearing on her face: "You’re paying, right?"

"Of course, it wouldn’t be proper to expect a lady to pay," he responded.

Following Qin Chu’s invitation, the two entered the restaurant next to the inn, choosing a spot near the glass windows.

Upon their entrance, the patrons in the hall who spotted Milo immediately scurried out, leaving not a single person behind—a situation Milo found all too familiar and somewhat helpless.

Milo seemed a bit reserved, ordering only three dishes before stopping, but Qin Chu could feel that these three dishes were probably insufficient for Milo. He took the menu and ordered every signature dish in one breath, then he stopped.

With Kain and Galbraith to foot the bill, Qin Chu wasn’t worried about the cost.

He casually ordered a bottle of wine, too.

Watching Princess Milo down the glass of alcohol in one go, Qin Chu had assumed she was a princess who could hold her liquor. However, he soon realized his mistake; after one glass, a flush of crimson instantly spread across Milo’s face.

The words in his mouth began to multiply, even to the point where he started to bite his tongue.

"Haha, sir, you only see my current form, naturally you’d think it’s not so terrifying. If you saw me after I transform, you might also keep your distance," he said.

"Since you’ve come to the kingdom, you naturally know about the royal family of the kingdom. Their bloodline is bizarre, with many members of each generation experiencing ancestral regression," he explained.

Qin Chu maintained his gentlemanly smile and nodded silently, "Mm, I know."

I know nothing at all.

"Wuu~~ Why am I so unlucky? Out of so many members in the royal family, my younger sister regressed to a mermaid, my third sister to a cat girl, and my second sister to a fox lady, but only I regressed into a silverback gorilla..."

"Mermaids, cat girls, fox ladies, they’re all so cute, so beautiful."

"At the banquet, they’re all surrounded by stars, but me, I have to appear in heavy armor on the battlefield, surrounded by a bunch of big, burly men."

After a few more drinks, Miluo’s floodgates of words completely opened up and couldn’t be closed anymore, and with just the two of them in the restaurant at that moment, she began to pour out her grievances to Qin Chu, whom she had just met.

Everyone thought that this princess was strong, violent, and unmatched in bravery, but everyone also overlooked the fact that, beneath that mighty exterior, she was still a woman.

I mean, transform into a gorilla?

Dragon Ball?

...

Meanwhile, Alfred and Tatter had stayed at Crystal Love until late at night, perhaps still harboring some hope of regaining their vigor...

Unfortunately, there were no ifs, and nobody knew exactly what was wrong, but even with their arms around girls, the recuperation just never happened.

It was not until late at night that they left Crystal Love somewhat frustrated, the odd and even disdainful looks from the girls making Alfred feel deeply struck and extremely depressed.

Damn it, once I recover tomorrow, I’ll teach you all to howl. I’m the Elf King who can last for two minutes, a man far superior to Tatter.

Muttering to himself, Alfred originally intended to return to his place but somehow inexplicably made his way towards the inn where Silf was staying.

He was still not willing to give up.

On Tatter’s side, obtaining the magic potion would have to wait until the next meeting, which was still several days away.

He was unwilling to believe that Silf could be so heartless. He preferred to believe that Silf had been threatened by her damnable master, Hero Qin Chu.

He still wanted to meet Silf alone again, believing he could definitely make her change her mind.

Just as he passed by a restaurant next to the inn, Alfred suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

In the next instant, his pupils sharply contracted.

Seated behind the glass was a tall woman, even in a seated position larger than he was, and next to her leaned a Wolf Fang Club—there was no doubt it was Miluo, the princess that the king had promised to him.

Why was Miluo here? Could she be looking for him?

Instinctively, Alfred wanted to run away.

He definitely did not want to be entangled with Miluo; that feeling was just too terrible.

Yet he had only stepped out when, just as he walked a bit past Miluo, Alfred’s pupils dilated again—across from Miluo, there was also sitting a... man?

A man?

A man?

In an instant, Alfred’s body shuddered, always feeling like a green hat had suddenly appeared on top of his head.
