Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Sword King Riding Face, How to Lose?
"Hmm? Has Captain Jino already guessed my purpose here?"
Suddenly, a bright female voice rang out.
Our little swan makes her grand entrance.
Olivia gazed at the two, secretly delighted, her lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile:
"Did I arrive too early, at the wrong time?"
The earlier, the better. If she delayed any longer, Louis would become even stronger, how could she carry out her plan?!
Jino was also secretly delighted at this moment:
"No, you came just in time, His Highness Louis just learned a few rudimentary moves, and he will ultimately need to test and comprehend them in actual combat."
Normally, it takes an ordinary warrior a few months to learn some moves, but given Louis’s current learning speed, Jino thought if he didn’t send Louis to practice soon, what he could learn at his level might be exhausted in no time.
Louis also smiled.
As an ordinary person from a world without magic, he eagerly anticipated verifying what he had learned.
After clarifying the arrangements for visiting the Adventurer Guild the next day, the three showed satisfied smiles.
Jino: Check the martial arts materials later; this ancestor is a hard one to teach!
The little swan: Hehehe, Empire, your true form is soon to be revealed!
Louis: I don’t know who I am, I don’t know where I’m going, I just want to unleash mayhem!
Aside, the head maid Lumi seemed not to understand the current situation, only finding the three of them smiling very harmoniously.
Olivia first glanced at Louis, whose body was soaked with sweat.
Her gaze was somewhat fleeting, her nose twitched slightly, then she looked away.
The little swan snorted softly, saying:
"Captain Jino’s idea is also mine, Louis, you are already a level 3 warrior."
"Many combat experiences still need to be tested in actual battles to be acquired."
Jino unusually agreed on this:
"Indeed, many times, actual combat is the best way to test one’s skills, a suitable choice."
"Thus, with a two-day interval, you’ll receive my training for the first two days, and then you register and take some beginner tasks at the Adventurer Guild."
When Jino said this, his gaze drifted towards Olivia, who was the strict designer of this ’prince’s trial.’
Seeing Olivia nod in approval, Jino continued:
"Perhaps you can consider concealing your identity and starting as an ordinary beginner adventurer?"
The little swan’s expression became even more gentle.
Well done, Jino, you’re really good at cooperating!
"With such an arrogant yet cowardly personality like the Empire’s, facing a monster of the same level for the first time, or even one of a higher level, would surely make him panic, right?"
Olivia pouted.
In her memory, since the Empire launched the Greed Feast ritual, he hadn’t really fought a losing battle.
No matter what opponent he chose, it was always a level crush.
Only back then, he met someone unreasonable...
Ahem, speaking about her childhood playmate like this doesn’t seem nice.
But the little swan indeed believed Louis was not good at dealing with enemies of the same level.
This man is essentially a reaper of the weak.
Olivia elegantly lifted her skirt hem slightly, softly saying:
"In the Ense Empire, the tradition of the Nine Swords has been explored and perfected through generations of ancestors in battle."
"Were it not for this body’s frailness, I too would wish to gallop on the battlefield like Sister Wang."
"Louis Charles Julius, as Sister Wang’s fiancé, your bravery should not be forgotten."
"Level 3 warrior is just right, I have arranged a new identity for you."
"If you have no objections, soon you can join the Adventurer Guild with this new identity."
After repeatedly mulling over her words and confirming there were no problems, the little swan seriously informed Louis.
She believed she really had no ill intentions towards Louis.
Or rather, she demanded Louis to grow towards being a qualified prince based on her standards of what a prince should be.
However...
"Hmm, with the Empire’s situation, there’s no way he could complete the ’prince’s trial.’
She overlooked something earlier.
She knew only the Empire’s stinginess, reluctance to think, greed, but overlooked his pursuit of power and that indescribable good fortune.
——Really not joking around.
To replicate the power of the Sin of Greed, many death row inmates have perished in the White Tower due to human experiments.
The Empire managed to survive, inherit this power, and it just happened to be seen by Sister Wang with her ’True Vision Eye,’ that probability was lower than a spinach.
Yet he succeeded.
Olivia hadn’t forgotten her original intention.
She has reincarnated and won’t leave him as an unstable factor.
This time, she laid down an inescapable net.
"Empire, Empire, you’re about to meet the person you hated most in your previous life."
She thought of this.
The tiger teeth at the corners of the little swan’s mouth were almost showing.
Don’t underestimate a princess’s resolve!
Isn’t it fine to stay obediently in the city as a wealthy gentleman?
If it comes to it, I’ll even arrange your marriage.
Noble daughters, elf beauties, half-dragon ladies... even charm mages are no problem.
Just don’t mess with Sister Wang, anything goes!
Thinking she’d already ensured Louis’s happiness for the rest of his life, the trace of guilt in her heart mostly dissipated.
She puffed out her small chest and said clearly:
"Louis, would you be willing..."
"I am willing," Louis said calmly, "but I need to prepare an equipment set for myself."
The little swan: "There’s dedicated funding for that, no need to worry, royal armament, reliable."
Strange, why did he agree so readily?
But it doesn’t matter.
The advantage is mine!
There’s no chance of losing.
My trump card is the Canghong Sword King.
How could the Sword King possibly lose?
Alice Ashford, she despises cowards the most.
She raised an eyebrow, saying to the few:
"Of course, letting you see some blood doesn’t mean sending you to your death."
"Besides weapons, equipment, and items, I’ve also found reliable partners."
"William Sean, at the exemplar level, level 11 Iron Guard."
"He has high recognition of you and is a loyal warrior faithful to the royal family."
"Alice Ashford, daughter of the Earl Ashford’s Family, level 9 Celestial Punishment Sword careerist."
"Adventurers are ranked from low to high based on achievement as white porcelain, mountain copper, fine steel, mithril, and dazzling gold."
"She’s a fine steel adventurer, very familiar with the surroundings of the Imperial Capital, trustworthy."
"Moving together, both safety and trial can be ensured."
As the little swan spoke, she cautiously observed Louis’s expression.
Noting that he looked intrigued upon hearing William,
but appeared puzzled upon hearing Alice.
"As expected, not a reincarnator?"
But it doesn’t matter.
Olivia felt victory was in her grasp.
William Sean is a loyal iron guard to the royal, but inflexible and not adept at adapting.
Otherwise, with his strength and the identity of Iron Guard, he wouldn’t have merely been a personal guard.
As Empire is always carefree and unrestrained, the two are on entirely different paths, clashing would be inevitable.
Not to mention, having William pair with Empire always reminded her of the guillotine in the past life.
——With a tinge of sadness mixed with a bit of subtle spite.
This is somewhat her quirky pleasure.
After all, Sister Wang and the Empire are gone.
As for Alice...
"I’ve won!"
"Winning big time!"
Only Louis remained unusually absent-minded.
"Sapphire Dragon Catastrophe..."
"Dragonbone Prairie Shepherd Disappearance Incident..."
"And Libra Saintess Grace Brent..."
"We’re about to reunite!"
