Chapter 473: Chapter 354 Astonishing Change_1

After obtaining the blueprints from Duanmu Huai, Maria hurriedly returned to her factory and summoned her subordinates to begin construction. Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, leisurely returned to Rajel. To his surprise, not long after he returned to Rajel, Michiru rushed over with a worried expression on her face.

“Your Honor, the Judge! Something’s happened, a big thing!”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

Seeing Michiru’s uneasy look, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow.

Could it be that Herman Kingdom is on the offence again?

“You must go to the Liberation Front’s headquarters immediately! Just now, Lisas made an emergency statement!”

“Emergency statement?”

Upon hearing Michiru’s words, Duanmu Huai quickly gathered the others and followed her back to the Liberation Front’s headquarters. At this moment, everyone else in the headquarters was standing by and staring at a single item in front of them — a television.

Alright, Duanmu Huai was no longer bothered to question where an era of sword and magic got a television from, the important thing was the content being broadcasted.

The television was currently showing an image. It looked like a muscular man with blue hair and a blue-haired girl standing on an open-air balcony.

“That’s Prince Barton of Herman!”

“And Princess Leia of Lisas!”

At that moment, the voice of the host came from the television.

“Ladies and gentlemen, just now, we received shocking news. Prince Barton of Herman and Princess Leia Parapara Lisas have become engaged! The wedding will take place in the near future!”

“……What??”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was taken aback, and the camera then switched to Princess Leia. She was holding a microphone and smiling.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Prince Barton and I are engaged. This signifies that the relationship between Lisas and Herman Kingdom will become even closer. Everything that has happened before was a misunderstanding; please, everyone, cease the chaos and lay down your weapons. With this wedding, the relationship between our two countries will be more cordial, instead of resorting to arms!”

“This…………”

After hearing Princess Leia’s words, everyone was dumbfounded. At this moment, Prince Barton also came on stage, declaring something about having loved the princess for a long time or some other nonsense, but for now, they had no interest in these trivial matters. Soon, the emergency news broadcast ended, and the atmosphere in the entire room was extremely heavy.

“This, this must be a lie!”

Kendou Kanami was the first to speak up.

“There’s no way Miss Leia could have said such a thing, she must have been forced!”

“But she doesn’t look like she was forced?”

Duanmu Huai disagreed, as a judge, he was naturally somewhat adept at reading people’s expressions. At least from the footage shown on the television just now, it seemed Princess Leia was sincere and not pretending under duress.

“His Highness must have been brainwashed! Just like us, brainwashed by a demon, that’s why she could do such a thing!”

Barres made his judgement at this moment and Lirk, the leader of the Red Legion, agreed vigorously.

“Yes, it must be like that!”

“Whether she was brainwashed or forced, the situation has indeed become more chaotic now……”

Looking at the confused crowd in the room, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but shrug his shoulders. Although Leia was just a princess and not a queen, it was evident that she had substantial influence in Lisas. Now that she had made such a declaration, those who were unaware of the demons would inevitably be thrown into chaos.

Just like Barres and Lirk now, ideally, they should have rushed back to their homeland to purify the court, but under the circumstances where the princess had made her declaration, if they recklessly went to war with Lisas’s army, would they be accused of rebellion? Of course, under these circumstances, it would be best if the King and Queen of Lisas came forward to clarify their stance. However, as Barres had stated earlier, the royal couple had gone on a trip and, due to their advanced age, their reaction was not as sharp. Although Barres was very careful with his words, Duanmu Huai could tell that he was holding back the words “senile” from his face.

It seemed there was no hope.

Quickly, Barres and Lirk returned to reassure their soldiers; The Free City Alliance was not concerned, regardless of whether Princess Leia was truly brainwashed or why she did what she did. At this time the Free City Alliance had been invaded, and all they could think about was driving the invaders away.

Duanmu Huai didn’t care much either. After all, he had located Maria; he only had to see if she could deliver results. As for the Herman Army—if they made their way to Rajel again— he’d simply annihilate them all. And so, he returned to his room to rest.

However, not everyone could afford to be so laid back.

How did it come to this…….

Sitting in the courtyard, staring up at the sky, Kendou Kanami looked dejected. Of course, she wouldn’t believe that the princess really wanted to marry into the Herman Kingdom. But the current predicament was ominous. Although they could fight together up to now, Kaname knew very clearly that once the Free City Alliance reclaimed their territories, whether they would intervene in Lisas was uncertain.

After all, Princess Leia held significant influence within the country. Although she was not a queen, her public declaration would undoubtedly cause upheaval in the country.

Not to mention that the invasion of Herman was really strange this time, instead of launching an attack from the frontier as usual, they appeared directly inside the royal city and easily conquered it. The Lisas armies scattered everywhere must also be struggling to understand why this would happen. Even if it were explained as the work of demons, unless they have really faced a demon, they would never feel what a terrifying existence it was.

Recalling the incident, Kendou Kanami couldn’t help but cringe. She still remembered the mission she had received from Princess Leia, and when she fled with the Sacred Martial Tool, she had also come face-to-face with a demon. The chilling fear the demon radiated and left a deep impression on Kanami’s mind, even to this day.

This won’t work, the princess must be saved from the demon!

But… who can defeat the demon? Only him!

Kanami of course remembered how Duanmu Huai had previously knocked Demon Satra away with a single blow of a hammer, she could confirm that he was indeed a demon. After all, Kanami had attacked her several times before this, all to no effect, all her efforts were thoroughly blocked by his “Invincible Barrier”. Although she didn’t know why the man was here, she was sure he was the only hope to repel the demon and save Princess Leia.

However, will he help her?

Kanami was uncertain. After all, she had been following Duanmu Huai all day and knew he was here to find Maria, one of the Four Witches. Now that he found Maria, his goal had been achieved. It seemed unlikely that he would go to Lisas and enter the dangerous situation to save Princess Leia just as she’d expected it.

There’s no other choice!

With this in mind, Kanami stood up and made her decision.

The night was deep.

The entire house had fallen into deep sleep, after all, everyone had been fighting the whole day, and by now, everyone but the night watchmen were already fast asleep.

Duanmu Huai was no exception, at this moment, he was lying on the carpet of a guest room, fast asleep – not because someone was neglectful, but because with Duanmu Huai’s size, a normal bed simply wouldn’t fit. Just then, the ceiling not far above Duanmu Huai’s head slowly opened, and a petite figure silently jumped down from within.

“Ugh…”

Kanami looked tense as she stared at Duanmu Huai in front of her. But soon, she took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then quietly walked up to Duanmu Huai. She silently lifted the blanket and stretched out her hand – and then, with a thud, a large shadow suddenly sprung up, smacking Kanami in the face.

Kanami’s expression turned pale as she stared at the shadow in front of her.

“Tricked, I was fooled… It’s so big… That’s impossible, right?”

Even as a ninja who had already made up her mind, she couldn’t help but feel nervous and afraid when confronting something beyond her understanding. But soon, she gritted her teeth – I’ll just do it!

In his dreams, Duanmu Huai again felt the sensation of that enchanting touch.

The sensation seemed to gradually intensify, attempting to encircle his body and corrode everything.

Hmph, really doesn’t learn its lesson, daring to come again after the first time?

Although Duanmu Huai was still dreaming, having been through this once already, he didn’t wait for the force to try to subdue him, instead, he immediately took control of it, locking it tightly within his grasp. The force seemed not to have expected Duanmu Huai to counterattack and began to struggle desperately. However, Duanmu Huai didn’t give it a chance to break free. He gathered his strength and with no mercy, crashed forward like a brutal siege hammer, smashing through the tightly shut doors. At this point, the invading force seemed to have reached its limit, and its actions became more erratic, writhing in a desperate attempt to escape like a fish trapped in a net.

However, Duanmu Huai showed no mercy. Once, twice, three times – after an unknown amount of time, along with another strong burst from Duanmu Huai, the force seemed to finally give up struggling and went quiet.

That’s all?

Feeling their weakness, Duanmu Huai frowned. This time felt way too easy for him, it seemed much more manageable compared to last time.

But… might it be because he had grown accustomed to it?

However, Duanmu Huai didn’t think too much and soon his consciousness plunged back into darkness.

When Duanmu Huai opened his eyes again, the first thing he noticed was the glaring sunlight.

“Ugh…”

Duanmu Huai sat up, yawned, and looked around – then, he froze.

All around him was a mess, torn clothes scattered around, traces of blood everywhere… wait, what happened?

Just then, Duanmu Huai felt something. He hesitated before reaching out to pull up the blanket and look down beside him.

Next, Duanmu Huai saw a girl lying there, stark naked. Her eyes were swollen red, and her body was covered in telling signs of rough handling.

Isn’t this… Kanami?

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was completely dumbfounded.

What on earth had happened?

Did he really sleep with her in his confused state?
