395 Gathering Together (2/2)

The rose-colored chain mail revealed her beautiful figure. Many of the young nobles standing behind Arthen were stealing a glance at Jocelyn from time to time.

Hearing Jocelyn's words, a big smile appeared on Arthen's face. At the same time, the rest of the nobles turned to stare at Beaulac, waiting for the embarrassed look on Beaulac's face.

However, Lucien was just smiling, as if he was watching a boring opera.

Lucien's response greatly disappointed Duda and Arthen, and a young noble named Andris could not help being sarcastic, ”Beaulac, are you a lady?!”

In his eyes, Beaulac was just a coward!

Lucien cast a glance at Andris and then said, ”I hope you won't kneel down in front of me later.”

”We'll see. Are you going to fight with the many items left by your father?” Andris saw the pouch tied to Lucien's belt around his waist.

”I can promise you that you will never want to see them in person,” said Lucien using a threatening tone. Lucien had put his rings, amulet and all of the other divine and magic items in the pouch.

When Andris was totally pissed off by Lucien's attitude, a bunch of people walked in from the gate of the basement, and Deniz was the one leading the group.

”Hi, dear Beaulac, we're here to help you,” greeted Deniz right in front of the nobles. However, no one was paying attention to him, since the blond-haired and green-eyed young lady was Princess Sophia, the only daughter of Rudolf II.

”Sophia, you are here for the competition as well?” Ulrich, the Gorse duke, slightly frowned.

There was a very sweet and adorable smile on Sophia's face, ”That's right, uncle Ulrich. I want to join the competition to see what will happen down there. It's also a test for myself. I'm a level five alchemist. Even without the protection of Ms. Marnina, I am still the most powerful one among all of us.”

”But…” All the leaders of the Gorse family were rather hesitant. If anything ever happened to the princess, the family would be in great trouble.

”Let me in please, uncle Ulrich! I can protect myself!” Sophia blinked and secretly pointed at her chest, indicating that she still had another way to guarantee her own security, ”Some other royal family members also went down before, and I've been given my father's permission.”

The last royal family member who joined the competition was the emperor himself, and at that time, he was still a prince.

Since the emperor had agreed, Ulrich nodded with a gloomy face, ”Do be careful.”

”Yeah!” Sophia celebrated happily. Then she walked to Lucien with Deniz. Today she was wearing an armored, milk-white dress, and she greeted, ”Good to see you again, Mr. Beaulac.”

The princess was as beautiful and sweet as a blooming tulip surrounded by many butterflies and bees, and Lucien found it was hard to remove his eyes from her.

”I will try my best to protect you, Your Highness, even at the cost of my life,” Lucien answered using the opera tone. However, his heart was filled with questions. Why did Sophia want to join the competition? What was her plan? Was she just helping Beaulac become the next inheritor of the Gorse family?

Lucien hoped that his plan could still be carried out as he expected.

The rest of the nobles looked rather pissed. They had no idea why the princess would show affection to this useless Beaulac. The princess was a level five alchemist with an awakened blood power!

Meanwhile, many young nobles started considering if they should join Beaulac's group. In their eyes, with the support of the princess and Deniz, Beaulac was very likely to win!

All of a sudden, the situation had changed!

Suddenly, a deep voice came from the gate, ”Uncle Ulrich, I am in as well.”

All of them were very surprised. A tall and blond man walked in. His face was very featured, showing his manhood. Obviously, he was a tough man.

Seeing that the man looked a bit like the princess, Lucien was even more confused. Why was everyone interested in the competition of the Gorse family?

”The prince?!” They could not believe his eyes.

The young man who was wearing the simple silver armor was the first successor in order of Holy Heilz Empire - Beyer, the Prince of Steinburg!

He was a genius close to becoming a radiant knight!
