Chapter 68: Blatant Shamelessness

“Old guy!” Seeing Little Steven leave, Rui Li immediately vented her anger on the Old Mage. In fact, given her status, she was indeed embarrassed to entangle with a junior. The Old Mage was a good target to vent on, so she shouted angrily, “Is this the family education of your Stephen Family?”

“Calm down, he is just a child!” The Old Mage hurriedly said with an apologetic smile, “But no matter what, we won this time, right? What about our bet?”

“Using such shameless means to win, and you still have the nerve to ask me for the bet?” Rui Li said furiously, “Don’t go too far!” After saying that, she completely ignored the Old Mage and left directly holding the Little Princess.

The Old Mage was instantly dumbfounded. He wanted to chase after her to ask for it, but he couldn’t save his face, and he wasn’t sure if he could get it. But without the bet, how could he explain it to Old Xie? The poor Old Mage felt a huge headache just thinking about it.

…

Regardless of how the Old Mage explained it to Old Xie, let’s say that the Ice Magic Saint Rui Li carried the Little Princess back to her own Mage Tower. She helped her change into new clothes. Then looking at the Little Princess’s miserable look, she couldn’t help but say helplessly, “Little Xue, how did you fall for it so easily?”

“Wuwu!” The Little Princess cried as soon as she heard this. While crying, she said, “How was I supposed to know that Little Steven, such a brainless Barbarian, would also play tricks? He used to be very honest and listened to whatever I said. I have never seen him lie. But who knew this time, he, he is too bad! Wuwu!” Speaking of the sad part, the Little Princess couldn’t hold it back anymore. She hugged Rui Li and cried loudly.

“Alright, alright!” Seeing this, Rui Li immediately softened her heart. She couldn’t bear to blame her anymore and hurriedly comforted her, “Victory and defeat are common in war. No one can always win in this life. Just take this as a lesson. Anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future. When your body recovers, we will find him for a Duel again! In short, I will definitely vent this anger for you.”

“Hmph!” The Little Princess immediately wiped away her tears and said, “Teacher, don’t worry. Next time, I promise I won’t fall for his tricks. No matter what he does, I will definitely put up the Magic Shield first, and then severely, severely, severely beat this bastard to death!”

“Good, good, as long as you don’t kill anyone, you can do whatever you want!” Rui Li then said, “But for now, it’s important to nurse your body. You go back to your residence and have a good rest!”

“Okay!” The Little Princess nodded.

“That’s it then. I still have an experiment to do. You go back by yourself!” After saying that, Rui Li patted the Little Princess’s head and turned to leave.

After Rui Li left, the Little Princess also slowly got up, left the Mage Tower, and came to the outside waiting room. Her Guard was there.

“Liao·Chaoqun!” After seeing her Guard leader, the Little Princess immediately couldn’t help but feel a burst of anger. There was no helping it. Who asked Liao·Chaoqun to look big and thick, very similar to Old Xie? So when the Little Princess saw him, she thought of that hateful guy and the grievance she suffered. So, the regular exercise began again. Slap, slap, slap, after dozens of slaps were thrown, the Little Princess finally felt much better. Only then did she leave with satisfaction, taking the pig-headed Liao·Chaoqun with her.

Although the Little Princess often slapped Liao·Chaoqun for no reason, he didn’t reject it very much. The reason was simple. After he was beaten for the first time, the Emperor personally received him, comforted him with kind words, not only promoted him one rank but also promised that for every slap the Little Princess gave him, the Emperor would reward him with one Gold Coin.

One Gold Coin, that was Liao·Chaoqun’s salary for a month. Facing such a generous reward, Liao·Chaoqun, who had no Warrior integrity, directly surrendered. So every time the Little Princess slapped him, he was bitter on his face but happy in his heart. He even wanted to shout loudly, ‘Let the Little Princess’s slaps come more fiercely!’

…

In the very center of the Royal Capital was the heavily guarded Imperial Palace. The main body of the entire Imperial Palace was built entirely of extremely thick giant stones. Although it was decorated with many exquisite sculptures, it still gave people a heavy, dull feeling. If it weren’t for those decorations, people might even think that this was simply a prison.

However, inside the Imperial Palace, in the central part of the complex and huge buildings, there was still a beautiful small garden. The vibrant and beautiful flowers brought a rare brightness to this lifeless Imperial Palace. Undoubtedly, such a good place naturally attracted people the most. In fact, whether it was the Emperor or the concubines in the palace, they all liked to bask in the sun here.

And at this time, the Emperor of the Griffin Kingdom, His Majesty Audley, and his Queen, Caroline, were enjoying the wonderful afternoon sunshine together while tasting delicious and mellow milk coffee.

“Your Majesty.” Queen Caroline suddenly said with some grievance, “Regarding the matter that our dear Little Princess was bullied by someone at school, do you know about it?”

Queen Caroline was a lady who had just turned 40. But because she took good care of herself, she looked just like someone in her twenties. She was even extraordinarily beautiful. This woman was extremely ambitious and also very smart. She almost never showed her tough side in front of His Majesty Audley. She always appeared as a weakling, looking so pitiful to win the Great Emperor’s sympathy. In fact, this exactly catered to the vanity of His Majesty Audley’s manly desire to protect. Naturally, she was extremely favored. Otherwise, after the late Queen passed away, she wouldn’t have been able to stand out from many competitors and seize the throne of the Queen.

Facing his beloved wife’s question, His Majesty Audley was also in a difficult position. In fact, the matter of the Little Princess being beaten by Old Xie until she lost control of her bladder was reported to his ears in just over half an hour. Even all the details were clear. You know, the Royal Secret Agent with power all over the Continent was not a vegetarian. The protection of the Little Princess naturally could not be underestimated.

If it had been a Noble who dared to humiliate His Majesty Audley’s most beloved Little Princess like this, he would not have hesitated at all. He would have definitely ordered the Secret Agent to execute that idiot secretly. But for Little Steven, he had to have a headache.

After all, the Stephen Family was extremely important to the Kingdom. They mastered the highest-level military manufacturing industry and had always been loyal to the Kingdom. Plus, behind them was even His Majesty Audley’s magic teacher, the Lightning Magic Saint. Even His Majesty Audley was embarrassed to directly do something to Little Steven. After all, this was just a fight between children. To harm the direct descendant of a powerful family for such a small matter was obviously too much of a fuss.
