Chapter 204: Chapter 139 Prince’s Crown a Bit Green (2)_2

The healing was over, the Holy Light dissipated, and the entire world seemed deep and dark.

Unbeknownst to them, clouds had veiled the moon, and Qin Chu’s silhouette was like a monster hiding in the darkness.

Apart from the sound of breathing, the whole jungle was eerily silent, devoid of any noise, without nightingales, without reptiles...

The leader stared at the shadow before him, his palm sweaty, his body trembling, with no sense of relief from the healing of his wounds or the disappearance of the pain. He felt an unprecedented fear.

Because he knew he was about to endure a bloody and painful feast.

This man had plenty of means and a heart cruel enough to make him taste an unparalleled pain, and he had enough methods to ensure he wouldn’t die from it.

Some things, saying is more effective than doing... The leader’s mind began to conjure up all kinds of horrifying scenes, his body kept trembling, and he felt like his scalp might explode from fear.

Breathing turned into panting.

Fear defeated loyalty.

The leader’s lips trembled, "It’s..."

"Prince!"

Buzz!

At these words, both Antasia and the four guards almost simultaneously changed their complexions.

Antasia’s cheeks turned extremely pale, and her body even swayed.

Qin Chu could distinctly feel the breath behind him become brief and rapid.

Lance, it’s really that idiot.

Speaking of which, during the first week, Lance didn’t seem to arrange for an assassin to kill his fiancée, but in the second week, Lance seemed to have become much more vicious... What exactly caused Lance’s change?

It shouldn’t be because of me, should it?

It shouldn’t be!

Qin Chu adjusted the expression on his face, and the next second, he shouted harshly, "Shut up."

"How dare you slander the Prince, how could the Prince possibly plot the murder of his own fiancée? I don’t believe he would be so stupid!"

Well, he just is that stupid.

It was not surprising that Qin Chu knew Antasia was to be the Prince Consort, as many in the Oville Empire knew.

The leader panicked, his face full of terror as he desperately explained: "It’s true, it’s really Lord Lance, Lord Lance told us to come and take care of the Princess of the Ice Duchy, he even arranged for someone to blow up the Conrad Demon Nest, trying to create the illusion of demons breaking loose, so he could pin the death of the Princess entirely on the demons. That way he could be with the Holy Daughter Rosweiser..."

With his back to Antasia, Qin Chu suddenly laughed. Merely mentioning the name Rosweiser was enough, and he left the rest to Antasia and those four guards to imagine.

With a whoosh, Qin Chu delivered a punch to the leader’s head, and with a smack, the head burst like a watermelon, executing a death with no witness to testify.

Qin Chu stood up, an apologetic look on his face: "I am sorry, Princess Antasia, I truly couldn’t bear this man slandering a good person to his last breath."

Antasia offered a forced smile, but she was a clever woman. Although she was initially shocked, she quickly gained control of her emotions. Her pale blue eyes swept over the corpse on the ground, her brows slightly furrowed, with no one knowing what she was thinking.

Qin Chu hesitated before he spoke, "Miss Antasia, I am not trying to defend the Prince here, everyone in the Imperial City knows about my conflict with the Prince."

"You might find what I’m about to say unpleasant, but in truth, the Prince did not welcome your arrival, Miss Antasia. But even if he is infatuated with the Holy Daughter Rosweiser, he would never stoop to assassinating his fiancée. That would be too foolish, and it could even provoke conflict between the Ice Duchy and the Oville Empire."

Qin Chu seemed to be defending the Prince, but he provided not a shred of evidence. Moreover, every sentence deepened the impression of the Prince’s assassination.

And he also casually mentioned the Holy Daughter Rosweiser, just as the assassin had mentioned her name moments before.

Antasia maintained her composure, but inside she felt an empty ache. After all, the man she had always loved, her future husband, was infatuated with another woman, and that was not something to rejoice.

Yet she expressed understanding for the Prince. After all, she had never met him, so it was natural there were no feelings between them, but Antasia was confident she could win back the Prince’s heart.

Antasia’s face even blossomed into a bright smile, "I also believe that the Prince would not do such a thing."

"Mr. Brave, you mentioned you have a conflict with the Prince?" Antasia shifted the topic.

But Qin Chu ruthlessly brought the conversation back: "Hmm, regarding that... I am a Hero, and according to the oracles of the Holy Court, Saintess Rosweiser is destined to be with the Hero... you know, the Prince is crazy about Rosweiser, and he even had a falling out with Lord Wozworth, to the point of abandoning his claim to the throne. Naturally, our conflict has arisen from that. Actually, I have no feelings for the Holy Daughter, but the Prince obviously doesn’t think so."

Abandoning his claim to the throne... This Prince...

The four guards frowned deeply, evidently starting to harbor dissatisfaction with the Prince, feeling that it was an indignity for the Princess to marry such a man.

Only Antasia maintained her demeanor: "Mr. Brave, you are a graceful Knight, and I believe the Prince must also be an elegant person... This is just a pitiful misunderstanding."
