Chapter 115 - Buying spree (1/2)

There were about 40 men all clad in gold armor from head to toe surrounding the group. These were the kingdoms Royal Guards and their attire conveyed their status.

The boys tried to act tough and stand in front of the group of girls protectively but Lois and Beatrice pushed them away.

Beatrice just wanted to get a better view of Hao Xuan whereas Lois just wanted to see what would happen. Surely they wouldn't drag her into the fight.

The guards stood in silence for about 30 seconds or so until the ones in the front opened a pathway and a young man walked in. He didn't have the same armor on and the only 'gold' on him was a rapier on his waist.

He was about 6 feet tall with a lean build. With blond hair and 'pretty' features, he looked like a pretty girl cross-dressing as a boy.

From his looks and demeanor alone it was clear he wasn't an ordinary person. He had an aura of nobility and arrogance exuding from his body that few could match.

He walked towards the group without any fear or hesitation and looked at Hao Xuan and Sixth who were standing at the front.

”Where is he?” he asked calmly.

”Who?” Sixth asked with a confused expression.

”My cousin. He said some people were disrespecting the Royal family, and you people perfectly fit his description,” he looked up at Hao Xuan while answering Sixth's query.

Hao Xuan frowned listening to his excuse. ”Why would I give a shit about the royal family when I don't even know them? Stop making foolish excuses and get out of the way little girl,” he said while acting like he was swatting away a fly.

The young man in front of him was neither a girl nor little, yet standing in front of Hao Xuan he did look like one by comparison.

”Peasant! Speak before I pull out your tongue. If I find out something has happened to him then I will skin you alive,” his face became red with anger as Hao Xuan had mentioned his taboo. He had a complex about his looks since he was young and everyone always said he looked like a girl so he went out of his way to act 'macho' and dress 'manlier', whatever that meant.

Sixth sighed listening to his empty threats. He had just defused a dangerous situation and now another dumbass popped up out of nowhere.

”Captain, I think its best if you leave right now. We both serve the kingdom and there is no use fighting amongst ourselves. The situation has been handled and your cousin is fine,” Sixth came forward with a smile and specifically enunciated the part about them both serving the kingdom.

”Hmm?” the young man frowned and looked over at Sixth. After about 10 seconds or so he took out a small gold medallion and held it in front of him.
