Chapter 420
420 – I’m unwilling to part with you
“Father!” Fanny silently walked to Firenze’s side, her eyes filled with expectation as she gazed at him and spoke softly.
Firenze stared blankly at Han Shuo for a long time before suddenly shaking his head as he sighed and said, “Forget it, since you insist, I wouldn’t obstruct you.”
“Thank you, Father!” Fanny had a delighted expression as she then gazed at Han Shuo lovingly.
Han Shuo also sighed in relief as he nodded toward Fanny. He then bowed in salute to Firenze and said, “I will give her happiness, I promise!”
“Hmph! You have so many women yet still dare to say you will give her happiness. If you bully my daughter, I don’t care who you are, I’ll definitely go all out to settle the debt!” Firenze didn’t give any face to Han Shuo as he shouted coldly in response.
Han Shuo smiled bitterly without responding. He hesitated for a while before casting his gaze toward Phoebe. Of the three women, Phoebe had the most unyielding personality and was the most independent. Currently, Fanny and Emily had already stated their stand, and only the pale-faced Phoebe was left.
Phoebe looked as if she had suffered a large stimulus. Her originally delicate face had become exceedingly white, as she stared in a daze at Han Shuo without saying a word as if she had suddenly become a fool.
By Phoebe’s side, Lawrence suddenly coughed and pulled Phoebe’s sleeve in passing, reminding the distracted Phoebe to not hesitate any longer.
Phoebe suddenly came to her senses, struggling repeatedly in her heart. She recalled many past events which she had gone through with Han Shuo, the uncertainty when they assassinated her rival together in the Boozt Merchant Guild, the sweetness when they were escaping together, thinking of Han Shuo’s care for her, even presenting the divine weapon ‘Starry Sky’ as a gift without hesitation…
“So long as you are willing to be with me, why would I be willing to part with you!” Han Shuo looked at Phoebe and said with deep emotion.
“We are already like this, how can I not be with you. You scoundrel, you heartless creature!” Phoebe felt indignant, once again sending a fist toward Han Shuo’s chest.
When he heard what Phoebe said, Karel’s expression changed, clearly understanding the hidden meaning within Phoebe’s words. The people around them were all cunning fellows and when they heard Phoebe divulge such information, they were able to grasp the crucial point in a flash. Their eyes flickered as they shifted their gaze between Han Shuo and the three women.
When Han Shuo saw the gazes of these people, he immediately understood. Surprisingly, Han Shuo’s thick-skinned face turned red as he coughed dryly.
Phoebe, Emily, and Fanny gradually understood somewhat. Under the strange gazes from everyone, all of them started to blush. Phoebe inwardly scolded herself for blabbing. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the time to try and explain herself and she momentarily became shy and embarrassed, not knowing what she should do.
As the three women had all taken a Rebirth Pill, their skin was all fair and glossy, delicate like water. Among them, as Emily and Phoebe had received Han Shuo’s nourishment, their bodies faintly had a hint of charm and maturity. If one looked seriously, they were indeed somewhat different from Fanny.
Forget it, let’s forget about it. She had been disappointing too, having given her body to this brat. What else can I say? Sacred swordmaster Karel sighed in his heart, staring distractedly at Phoebe for a while before finally saying, “Let’s let it be. You have grown up, I’m unable to control you anyways.”
“Master!” Phoebe cried out softly, continuing to say, “Master, I’m sorry. I’ve caused you to be disappointed.”
“Hai!’ space sacred magus Sabakas sighed. When he saw everyone look at him in puzzlement, he smiled and said, “It is most appropriate that the youngsters handle their own matters. Hehe, we have all grown older. How can we restrict them on every matter? Presently, Lancelot Empire is suffering from internal trouble and outside aggression and is precisely in its most challenging situation. Everyone here is the backbone of the empire. What we should be doing now should be resolving the empire’s problems!”
As Sabakas was a senior with good moral standing and reputation within the empire, even that madman Firenze somewhat respected him. Now that he had spoken, everyone was resentful but didn’t say anything else.
As the protector of Lancelot Empire, Karel naturally wouldn’t be like Firenze and disregard the survival of the empire. When he heard what Sabakas said, he gradually calmed down and was in deep thought, not saying a word.
Sabakas paused for a moment. Seeing that everyone still seemed to show him respect, he loosened a breath. Just as he was about to seize the opportunity and let all parties reconcile, Han Shuo suddenly creased his eyebrows and said, “Ashburn and eldest prince Charles have personally led their troops and are headed for the northern city district. It looks like they intend to settle the situation of the entire Lancelot Empire in one battle!”
