Chapter 268 - Prince Andrew P4 (1/2)
Andrew took out his other blade, ”Is it not obvious? I'll destroy him with my own hands.”
”Andrew, you must be careful.”
”I'm aware,” his gaze fell on the scene before him. The fighting had long stopped or rather it halted. Spotting maroon colored hair, he paused.
”Your brother?”
Why is Kotaro here? Frowning, Andrew leaped down from the tree. Naturally, since the tree was in a conspicuous location, people didn't notice him at first.
”Second Prince, we are aware of what you're saying, but these people pointed their weapons at us first.”
”You're the ones who started this…”
”Enough! Using that magic hasn't been permitted yet, what were you thinking of testing it out in broad daylight? What if people saw?!!” Kotaro snapped.
Andrew paused, his lips curve to an amused smile. Normally his brother would act like a fool. But there were times, times like this where he would be useful. He watched for a few more minutes.
”But Prince, the First Princess said..”
Kotaro's gaze darkened, ”Forget what Lethia said. She's only a Princess. Are you going to listen to her words over mine?”
Gender discrimination in the Mist Kingdom is rare because of his Mother's rule. But, that does not change people's opinions. Some will naturally look down on females. Kotaro is only saying these words for show because he understands the mindset of the people here. Sure enough, after his brother said those words, the two groups put away their weapons and undid their magic.
”Good work,” Andrew said, stepping out of the shadows.
”Pr--Prince Andrew!!”
”The First Prince.”
Kotaro smiled, ”It's rare to hear praise from your brother.”
”You must jest, I always praise you.”
”Weren't you keeping Gab-Lady Gabrielle company?”
At that comment, Andrew frowned. Now that he thought about it, those annoying rumors are still floating around aren't they? Regarding his second brother and Gabrielle. Of course, he understood the basis of those rumors. It's because these two keep visiting Lyn at the same time. People naturally misunderstand.
”Refrain from calling your sister-in-law by her first name.”
”R--right, uh so they say you'll hold the wedding soon?”
”Next month,” Andrew nodded. ”Even though it's Lyn's birthday, she told us to go ahead with the ceremony.” Initially, they planned to postpone it; they wanted to wait until Lyn's identity was settled. Since Gabrielle wanted Lyn present at the wedding. But, times have changed, it seems.
”I see, so uh…”
Why does Kotaro suddenly look so nervous? He was relieved that the two groups that were causing a fuss decided to leave already. He did not want them to overhear anything regarding Lyn.
”Andrew,” Edgar called out. ”I received the report you wanted,” he took something out of his pouch.
Andrew nodded, ”Good work,” he scanned through the papers, and his gaze darkened.
”Fire?”
”It's a fire-based type — pure flames. But there may be another element. After all, your sister. The First Princess uses one of his swords it's an ice-based type. The other is a fire, they both contradict each other, and that's why they clash.”
