Capítulo 25: The Princess Of The Elven Kingdom

Hearing Lucas's question, Sylv couldn't help but shake her head, a bitter smile playing on her lips.

"Help should arrive soon, since we should've reached the border of the elven domain by now and informed my family about what happened with the meeting with the dark elves. But as I have not contacted them, they must have assumed something happened."

"If your family were so cautious, wouldn't it have been better to send more powerful guards to protect you?" Lucas couldn't help but ask. He knew that if Sylv's family was someone with enough power to handle diplomatic reasons with the dark elves, they must be a powerful family with probably at least a few in the Grandmaster stage protecting them.

Hearing the question, Sylv sighed.

"The point of this meeting was to be peaceful with the dark elves and negotiate about them wanting to gain more territory in the elven domain. So if I brought more guards, it would've looked like we weren't planning to negotiate in the first place and only wanted to show off. But since they got greedy and kept biting off more than they could chew, the meeting failed... and now they even dared to attack us the moment we left the neutral city. War would be inevitable now."

"Hmm, I see. I understand now, I guess... by not taking a lot of guards, you basically said you wanted to negotiate peacefully..."

"Your family must be really powerful for the elves to start a war for you..."

Hearing Lucas mumble while recovering on her lap, Sylv couldn't hold back her laughter anymore.

"Pfft!"

The way she laughed would charm almost any man, as her voice was like beautiful music to one's ears. Yet Lucas only felt confusion instead of being charmed.

"Huh? Why are you laughing all of a sudden?" he asked, not understanding what happened.

"Haha! You really don't care about most things in Myrniel, do you, Lucas?" She asked, gracefully covering her mouth with her hand, trying to hold back more laughter.

What she said was true; all Lucas did in the last two years was train, eat, pick and complete missions, and then sleep, as the cycle kept repeating itself.

And before his adventures, he was a lazy introvert who didn't study at all.

"Very well, let me give you a bit more about me. Aside from being beautiful, extremely talented, and smart, I am also the princess of the elven kingdom. Princess Sylviette Velariah, daughter of King Michael Velariah and Queen Amara Velariah," she said with a smile, gazing at Lucas, who was on her lap with his eyes wide open in shock.

"W-wait, so you are the princess of the elven kingdom!? Ugh, I knew that I recognized the Velaria- Ouch!"

Before Lucas finished speaking, he moved his body too much, causing the pain to return.

"Lucas, be still! Didn't I tell you?" Sylv scolded in an angry tone that was still soft and charming.

"Y-yeah, damn... To think you were actually a princess all along..."

"Hehe, when I first introduced myself, I was inwardly shocked as well, you know? I thought you just didn't care, but after talking more with you, I realized you just never bothered about these things," she said, making Lucas avert his eyes in shame.

'Fuck, I should have learned more about this world instead of being lazy!'

"So, how does it feel to be lying on the lap of the sole princess of the elven domain?" she teased with a playful smirk, further teasing Lucas.

"Tch, shut up, okay! How does it feel to get your fucking ass saved by someone the same age, Ms. Princess, who is so smart and talented?" Lucas retorted, not holding back.

Even if she was a princess, he honestly didn't care one bit about her status. Lucas hated treating people differently just because of their status, so even if she were the queen, he wouldn't change the way he treated her.

Sylv was surprised at how Lucas still treated her the same as before when they talked in the carriage, but seeing this, she became extremely happy that he didn't change the way he treated her, and a beautiful smile blossomed on her face, making Luna squint her eyes because it was too bright for her, while Lucas watched in a daze for a few seconds before snapping out of it.

No way his pride would allow him to become even more embarrassed than he already was!

"Hehe, it is an honor after all to be saved by the White Devil himself, who is the same age as me and already the strongest in our generation," she said smugly, as if she were the one who achieved the feat of becoming the strongest.

As they continued to bicker with each other and Luna watched them with amusement, only regretting not bringing food, an hour passed, and the help Sylv mentioned finally arrived, with at least 20 elves and 2 carriages.

The elves wore a white uniform with gold lines decorating them further. The uniform was something everyone would recognize (except for Lucas). It was the Royal Guards.

When the Royal Guards arrived to rescue the princess, all they could do was freeze and open their eyes and mouths wide as they looked at an extremely handsome white-haired boy with blood red eyes lying with his head on the lap of the princess of their kingdom, as they laughed with each other for some reason.

Honestly, the first thing they thought of was taking a picture as they gazed at the silver-haired elf and the white-haired human surrounded by destruction, happily laughing with each other.

But they finally realized the reason why they were here in the first place: to rescue the said princess, who was letting a boy lay with his head on her lap...

(AN: Life truly is unfair. I wish I were in Lucas's position instead... I'm sure those royal guards must be feeling the same after witnessing such a handsome man just lazing on the lap of their princess...)
