Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 485 - 271: Little Swan Is Angry_2

Outside the Empire, it’s easy to imagine that this event will remain lively for some time.

There’s been no rain in Tino City these past few days.

The road back to the city for Louis and his group has become much easier.

But as soon as he returned to the palace, he heard a flurry of hurried footsteps.

"Sister Wang!!!"

The little swan leapt and jumped onto Beatrice.

Then there was a cracking sound, and she started to yelp in pain.

"Sister Wang, why are you still wearing inner armor!"

It was clear that her collision wasn’t light.

The two sisters exchanged recent events, chatting back and forth.

Louis interjected:

"Olivia, do you remember your promise with the Combat Mage?"

Olivia, with a serious face, said to Beatrice:

"Sister Wang, is it really hot on the border? It looks like your skin got a bit tanned."

This comment made Louis unhappy: "Tanned? Not a single shade darker."

Olivia continued to ignore him, mumbling to herself:

"I heard you ran into some trouble in the City of Art, but you could wield the power of ’Snow Country Border’. As expected of my Sister Wang."

Louis: ...

He could see, the little swan didn’t want to talk to him right now.

Seeing the two in such a state, Beatrice found it amusing.

But siding with Louis, she still said:

"Louis really helped a ton this time."

Olivia paused, then with a stiff expression, glanced at Louis, then at Beatrice.

A moment later, she turned and threw herself into Lumi’s arms:

"Waaah, Sister Lumi, something really happened."

Louis was utterly bewildered.

But the corners of Beatrice’s mouth slightly turned upward.

Her fiancé, while very smart, wasn’t quite familiar with the little secrets between girls.

She had everyone else leave the Princess Palace, leaving only a few behind, before saying with a smile:

"Olivia, have you been practicing well recently?"

The little swan, teary-eyed, lifted her head and said:

"I’m already at LV14! I’ve absorbed half the power of the Emerald Fire." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The bewildered expression on Louis’s face gradually turned rigid:

"Duo, Young Master Duo?"

The little swan’s nose instantly turned up.

She snorted and said:

"That’s right, you haven’t seen it wrong; now I’m an LV14 Mage, how about that, am I impressive or not!"

Louis just felt the floor was a bit hot and wanted to jump.

You’re racing with me now.

I get my standards met, and then you rush into seclusion to break through.

I set an example, and you gobble up the foundation, huh!

"Wait and see, see if I don’t catch up to you next!"

It was rare for Louis to say something harsh.

The little swan secretly glanced at him, turned her head away, and said nothing.

Louis also stubbornly refrained from responding.

After a while, the little swan couldn’t hold it any longer and muttered quietly:

"Who’s telling you guys to sneak out without bringing me."

Louis’s face darkened:

"Weren’t you the one who said you needed to seclude yourself and train?"

The little swan wailed and cried out:

"Not only did you guys go out, but you also did it secretly!"

With these words, the casual Lumi slightly raised her head, a gleam in her eyes.

Damn.

Louis felt his scalp tingling.

How did the little swan hit the nail on the head with such accuracy?

Soon after, he heard Lumi’s gloomy voice near his ear:

"Did you do it? How many times? Do you want to get married early? How many are you planning to have?"

Oh no, the rare Lumi (motherly mode exclusive edition) appeared.

He coughed and said:

"Oh right, Beatrice, there are still a lot of official duties at the Prince’s Mansion that haven’t been completed. The details of this journey, I’ll trouble you to elaborate."

Then Lumi’s motherly gaze instantly turned to Beatrice.

Beatrice also started to feel her scalp tingle.

She looked at Louis with a plea for help.

Louis raised his hand, his lips moved slightly.

She made out his lip-reading:

"Why did Olivia guess it right away?"

Beatrice was speechless.

She couldn’t explain that one.

It was... quite embarrassing.

"Louis, you should go rest first; isn’t there something else you need to prepare?"

She was referring to him preparing to go to Tunisia.

He had mentioned it on the way back.

Louis nodded and turned to leave for now.

Right now, he couldn’t possibly discuss the black swan situation with Beatrice.

So he lied and blamed it on the Mad King.

Poor Mad King, even in times like this, still made some effort.

Upon hearing that there was suspected major wrath in the Giant Demon Tribe and possibly a third party plotting something, Beatrice decisively agreed to Louis’s request.

However, he didn’t know that a fierce debate was occurring inside the Princess Palace.

"Sister Wang! You guys still aren’t married!"

The little swan said, her face turning red.

Beatrice coughed and firmly denied it:

"Nothing happened, why are you ignoring him!"

Olivia was so angry her chest almost exploded.

"You used to back me up no matter what! This time you’ve completely sided with that bad thing on your return!"

"If there wasn’t any significant progress between you two, Sister Wang, you wouldn’t act like this."

"Look your sister in the eye and say again that nothing happened before marriage."

Beatrice, avoiding her gaze a bit, earnestly said:

"Our relationship is spotless!"

"Spotless? What spotless? Having five kids spotless?"

The little swan’s nose was crooked with anger.

As angry as she was, she felt a bit puzzled.

Why was she feeling so discomforted?

Was it because her sister was ’taken’?

She felt somewhat confused.

But soon, she was intrigued by Beatrice’s mentions of the situation in Tunisia.

"Do you need me to go there quickly?"

The little swan pondered for a moment.

This would be her first time going out alone with Louis.

What’s the point of going out with this bad guy?

But Sister Wang’s request was reasonable.

Each major sin is a potential danger.

If kept in major nations under control, it’s manageable.

But if the major sins grow unchecked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

During the time Sister Wang wasn’t here, she researched the Empire’s recorded histories of various sins.

Evidently, without orderly control, major sins almost always lead to the abyss of destruction.

After all, these things are inherently manifestations of various desires from the abyss.

Only in the orderly realm of Star Continent are they divided and self-assembled into comprehensive entities.

Not to mention the King of Fury in the Giant Demon Tribe, who seems to have third-party backing, possibly even the Abyssal Church.

"In my memory, nothing ever happened in Tunisia until the end, something’s definitely off."

The little swan was just a bit slow and not dumb.

With past life memories to compare, she soon realized something was wrong.

However, she hadn’t connected it to being a reborn individual.

But the relationship between the Giant Demon Tribe and Tunisia hadn’t significantly changed from her past life.

Though Tunisia was preparing to gather forces to expel this pest, their actions were very cautious.

Clearly, they wanted to strike unexpectedly.

If the King of Fury from the past was also in the tribe, under unchanged circumstances, he shouldn’t have surfaced quietly.

—Unless his surfacing wasn’t his own decision.

She quickly pieced together a logic chain.

The Tunisian Republic was unavoidable.

However, the thought of going with this nuisance made her feel both awkward and somewhat peculiar.

Hope this trip won’t run into problems.

Wait.

What problems could there be?

No problems will arise.

The little swan made a silent decision in her heart.

This time, as she went over, she hoped for no significant issues.

But then again, what problems could arise?

There won’t be any issues at all.

The little swan silently made up her mind.

This time over there, she hoped nothing major would happen.

Meanwhile, inside the Prince’s Mansion, a fierce debate was taking place in the Princess Palace.

At the same time, within the Prince’s Mansion, Louis started preparing for his trip to Tunisia.

He quietly opened the Greedy Diary and discovered a change had occurred.

"Hmm, this is new, a change appeared in the diary."
