394 The Reason and Surprising Conclusion (1/2)

*Stab*

Evelyn just pierced Riolet's heart. She was shocked when she realized she had stabbed him. Their fight just started when they swung their swords at the same time. But before their swords made contact, Riolet let go of his sword and let Evelyn's sword stab his heart.

”Gah!” He spat so much blood because of that.

”You… you…”

”Finally… I am sorry, your highness. Just before you came to us back then, Erol from Mount Hua Sect had met me. It was not him alone… he came with Hazel Kingdom and Zhou Kingdom.

”At that time, if there were only three of them, I was sure we could fight them. But he said they also had the backing of the Southern Kingdom. So, if it were at that point, we would be outnumbered.

”No… it must be because I had doubted your highness's prowess. If I knew Your Highness had such a prowess, I would immediately *Spat*... reject them. Your Highness, this Riolet Milian from Milian Family, has wronged you and knows his mistake.

”According to the law, I deserved death for this blunder. Your Highness, Please forgive the others as they are acting under my orders just to protect you... ”Riolet suddenly took out two tokens from his space ring, ”Your Highness, I only have two tokens in this competition.

”I should have three, but it is still in Nash's possession since they are keeping watch on us. I apologize for this blunder. Once again, I just hope your highness will forgive the others as well as my Milian Family. Our family is always loyal to the Royal Family.”

”You… You…” Evelyn was too shocked as she never expected something like this.

*Spat*

Riolet had lost too much blood. He tiredly looked at his teammates, ”After this, Please help her highness on my behalf and eliminate the Hazel Kingdom. Then all of you shall surrender and leave this competition.”

”Yes. Leader.” Riolet's teammates immediately saluted him. Some of them even could not help but tear up. They knew Riolet, as the first son of the Milian Family, only wanted to protect Evelyn since it was his mission. But because of many twists, Evelyn branded him as a traitor. Even so, in his last breath, he still shouldered everything on his shoulder.

After giving his order, Riolet freed himself from Evelyn's sword as he fell down to the ground while saying, ”Your highness… forgive this subordinate…”

”I…” Evelyn was too shocked. She could not comprehend what happened just now. Her feet felt weak, and she slowly dropped to the ground.

Before she could comprehend what happened, Riolet's teammates immediately kneeled on one knee as they shouted in unison. ”We shall accept the punishment for our blunder, your highness. Please, let us finish our captain's last order and eliminate the Hazel Kingdom.”

After they said that, they disappeared and started engaging the Hazel Kingdom. Because they were outnumbered 3 to 1, Hazel could not make a good fight before they died.

When they saw Evelyn just sit down on the ground, they were bewildered. All of their doubts immediately answered when they saw Riolet's body on the ground as well as the people from Thiveapia Kingdom.

It was only a misunderstanding. And because Evelyn was consumed in rage, she refused to hear their explanation.

Mina gave Florinda the tokens as they agreed to fight Buddha Sect after this. After all, with all of these tokens, both Rainbow Flower Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect had seven tokens. Mina did not mind getting second place since she knew Evelyn's prowess, and the sect master had told her to do so.

But, they would need to get the tokens from the buddha sect. With both of them having seven tokens, there were still eleven tokens left. They did not know how many Buddha Sect or Southern Kingdom had at this point. So, they wanted to make their position safe by having the token from Buddha Sect.

Unfortunately, they also got another problem. Evelyn still sat on the ground and had no sign of moving. They also realized that the people from Thiveapia Kingdom had left the battlefield.

Suddenly, Florinda approached her from behind and placed her hand on Evelyn's shoulder.

”You did not do anything wrong. It was normal to have that kind of reaction. I am sure 'he' will also say the same.”

”...” Evelyn did not say anything to her. All of them could see her tears, but they decided not to say anything.

Florinda sighed. They did not know what to do in this situation. If Alex was here, he might be able to solve it since he knew Evelyn better than them.

After a few more minutes, Evelyn finally said with a hoarse voice. ”I am sorry… but, for Buddha Sect, I need you to lead the teams and fight them together with Mina and the others… I… I can't fight after this.”

Florinda closed her eyes and sighed helplessly. She said softly, ”Alright, we will chase the Buddha Sect right now. But I will leave Elise to guard you, okay?”

Evelyn did not say anything. She did not accept, but she also did not reject, so Florinda left Elise to accompany her since both of them were women.
