Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!-Chapter 349: D128. Fourteenth Princess_3

No matter it’s the Capital or the Border, there’s always a central figure in social settings, and naturally, the Hero makes the Princess that center.

...However, in reality, within his Transcendent vision, the Princess’s Radiance was almost completely overshadowed by the Hero.

Even though there was no discernible difference in facial features, her attire and ornaments were even more outstanding, along with her noble bloodline symbolizing a near-Transcendent innate Charm, the Fourteenth Princess still couldn’t become the focus of the entire gathering.

Under the daylight, her pure and Holy massive Magic Power, the true transcendence, even a near-legendary Innocence and Charm, every smile and glance of the girl in the sunlight pulled at the hearts of those around her, yet she herself was completely unaware of it.

If the Fourteenth Princess is a delicate and beautiful gemstone, then the girl before her is a splendidly shimmering lake.

Even if the gemstone is beautiful, it cannot surpass the grandeur in the face of absolute difference in scale.

This is also one of the reasons why the King must possess strength. If even those seated on the Throne are less captivating than their subjects, then what meaning would the ruler’s orders truly have?

If the Princess also had such strength, maybe...

The Demon Hunting Master was slightly distracted but suddenly felt a chill at the bottom of his heart.

His pupils constricted and he became alert, moving his gaze discreetly, and immediately noticed among the entourage who came to the door with the Count, a scholarly-looking man dressed as a Housekeeper with ice-made glasses calmly watching him.

The man had a mature Temperament, yet his skin was fair. Although he appeared to be middle-aged, it was difficult to accurately determine his age.

Behind those glasses, emerald green pupils held a hint of warning, making the Demon Hunting Master realize his gaze toward the Hero had been somewhat rude. He lowered his head apologetically, and this sincere attitude brought a slight smile to the scholarly man’s face.

This exchange of looks was completely unnoticed by the Hero, who was enjoying his conversation with the Princess, until the Count stepped forward with a gentle smile, Interrupting the two of them.

"Although I know you get on like a house on fire, let’s head back to the Count Mansion and continue there."

Remembering they were at the entrance of the Count Mansion, the Hero nodded somewhat sheepishly—

On the streets of the Border City, passersby create a bustling scene, with citizens hurriedly heading to work, and Adventurers in full gear laughing and heading to the city gates, among them not lacking the presence of Alien Races.

There are also orderly patrols of Soldiers and Priest Knights from the Church passing through from time to time, but the pedestrians have grown accustomed to this sight. Some even stop to bow and pay respects.

Although martial law continues, the city’s military control has long been lifted. While occasionally some unruly Adventurers refuse the newly added checks at the city gates, these minor disturbances are often quickly resolved by better-equipped Soldiers.

The curfew has also been lifted, and what’s more, as the Magic Crystal Stone Lamps have maintained their maximum brightness for several nights in a row, quite a few citizens have complained about not being able to sleep properly, which has led to a significant increase in curtain sales in the city.

And aside from fabric shops, other industries have seized the opportunity.

"The Fourteenth Princess..." The peak customer flow at the Weapon Store is often not in the morning, so after preparing the shop to open, the clerk reminisces about the Chocobo Cart that passed by earlier, his expression filled with longing.

"Those two Chocobos pulling the carriage, with feathers like gold, not even in the Count’s Elite Guard has there been such a sight. Surely the Princess inside the carriage must be even more beautiful..."

The news of the Fourteenth Princess’s visit to the Border was no secret. It had become a hot topic in the city’s taverns several days ago.

And paralleling the Royals’ visit as another hot topic was the instigator that led to the city’s continued martial law and which has not yet been lifted—a Magic Creature that had invaded the city. freēnovelkiss.com

Whether it’s the skirmishes near the prison or the frequent mobilizations of Soldiers and Professionals in these last few days, even including the Phoenix that crossed the sky that night, all these events naturally could not escape the notice of the people living in this city.

"But the city’s been under martial law for several days and they still haven’t caught that Magic Creature; revealing such an unsightly aspect to the Fourteenth Princess..." The young clerk first wore a look of longing, then began to show concern.

"What’s with your needless worry?" The Weapon Store owner gave him a look of exasperation.

"Is it because I gave you too much bonus or what that you have time to worry about the city’s image now."

The clerk’s expression suddenly became awkward, but the boss didn’t care about his reaction and waved him over, saying.

"Hurry up and get to work, the batch of weapons we rushed to order has arrived. We need to get them displayed and promoted."

"...But boss, can we really sell those weapons?" the clerk asked, hesitantly.

"Weapons specially designed to kill spirits and ghosts... not only are they expensive, but their hardness and durability are much lower than that of regular weapons. Very few adventurers would buy such specialized weapons; they’d rather smear some holy water on their swords."

"You just don’t get it," said the boss with a satisfied smirk.

The information about the magic creatures invading the city wasn’t disclosed in detail, but it wasn’t expressly withheld either. Just by paying attention to the missions listed at the Adventurer Guild, and to soldiers going from house to house asking to hang up dreamcatchers, anyone keen enough could almost immediately guess the answer.

Whether it’s for self-defense or to complete missions to receive rewards from the Count Mansion, those perceptive adventurers would definitely need a weapon that could harm the intangible nightmares.

And as the owner of a weapon store, he had some connections with the city’s soldiers; naturally, he could perceive even more.

"The Count Mansion’s emphasis on this invasion is extraordinary. That magic creature is no simple matter; the details not being disclosed publicly is probably to prevent panic. But those wealthy and nobles will soon catch on, and even if they don’t actually know any swordsmanship, these weapons will still provide them with a sense of security."

The boss’s words made the clerk pensive, but he quickly frowned because of the daunting amount of work ahead.

"Besides, ’fragility’ is only a relative term; these things are still more than capable of chopping down a few goblins..."

As the boss was speaking and was about to show the clerk how to move the weapon racks to the display area, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the store.

It sounded like an explosion had occurred underground. A muffled sound accompanied by tremors came through, and it seemed as if chunks of viscous matter were raining down from the explosion, causing an echoing noise.

The sound moved from far to near, and then erupted remarkably clearly at the store’s door.

He turned his head in surprise, only to see on the street outside the store, a small figure slowly rising from a green pile of mangled flesh.

It was a Goblin.
