Chapter 155: Who Touched My Girl? (3)
The first to react to Milton’s intrusion was none other than Archduke Lawrence
“And who are you? How dare you barge into this national affair?”
Milton replied coolly to Archduke Lawrence’s shout of accusation
“As aforee”
“Do you truly believe that yourof which – ere the knights doing, allowing a louse like that to barge in here? Get hiht at once!”
Milton smirked as he watched Archduke Lawrence bellow at hi
‘Is that the king of Florence?’

A quick glance at his abilities indicated he was a ne’er-do-well across the board His nuust’s Milton would not so much as break a sith someone like this as his adversary
Besides, Milton had received explicit per to this nation…
[Feel free to do whatever your heart desires and cause as much of a scene as you please In fact, you should very raceful, what is important is that we take certain hold of the Florence Principality]
…hat she said, in her oords
In other words, Queen Leila’s order was to show the prowess of their kingdolory, even if he needed to force the issue And that hy Milton could do such an audacious thing as interrupting the wedding
With a steady heart, Milton spoke towards Archduke Lawrence
“I suppose I a dom at your service”
“It does not matter who you ar- what?”
Archduke Lawrence looked taken aback Likewise, their surroundings burst into whispers
“Milton Forrest?”
“The one who’s being hailed as a war hero?”
“You mean the one who drove off 500,000 Republican soldiers with only 50,000 men, that Milton Forrest?”
“Why is he here of all places…?”
“Ah – come to think of it, did Princess Violet not enter the very same war as Duke Forrest?”
“Now that you enerated a dull roar as they shared their own conjectures on how this cah mixed into their conversations to a certain extent were so for certain was that the renown of Milton had already spread to the furthest corners of the Florence Principality
After all, was he not one of the central figures that transfordo for supremacy in the North?
To those that answered to the flag of Florence – already considered the weakest nation in the continent as is – no other man becaht it was a great sha individual could not have been born as one of their own Yet others began to voice their concerns regarding the exponential growth of the Lester Kingdom’s power – a nation that bordered with them
In many different shapes and forms, the name of Milton had been on the lips of every one of the Florencian nobles; and now he had appeared on their soil in a coht about this development prudently, while Archduke Lawrence likewise erased any hint of surprise from his face and spoke prudently
“’Tis a pleasure to meet you, Grand Duke Forrest I was yet to beus like this without notice”
“I did not have the leisure to as it is a rather pressinge of hter?”
“Indeed I do, as you can see by rand entrance”
At Milton’s words, Archduke Lawrence’s eyes hastily flickered towards Princess Violet
‘Surely she didn’t…? Did so happen?’
Yet he could not see Princess Violet’s expression, as her face was covered by a thick veil
All that was apparent was that she was fidgeting with her bouquet, as if she herself was taken aback Judging from that, it seemed that this development was beyond even her own expectations
Archduke Lawrence turned his attention back to Milton
“Today is a rather joyous occasion So if I may ask, Grand Duke, for what reason have you broken into ?”
It was a rather sharp accusation, but there was not a hint of persuasive power
“Sodoainst her will to a ruffian of a man And so I’ve come to make a ruckus”
“Ahem…”
Archduke Lawrence cleared his throat uncomfortably, but Milton did not pay him any heed
“In particular, Princess Violet is a comrade who shed blood by my side on the battlefields – no, perhaps more than that Her brilliant actions hat, in fact, saved iven that I come to her aid when I hear that hardshi+p has befallen her?”
The audience stirred into action at Milton’s words
“Princess Violet saved Grand Duke Forrest?”
“Did such a ludicrous thing happen? Surely not”
“But the Grand Duke hied it…”
Milton quietly clicked his tongue, for the reaction of the audience was likewise completely outside of his expectations
‘I see peace has taken its toll on this country too They’ve got no idea about her true worth’
As he said, Princess Violet was being severely underestimated in the Florence Principality But truth be told, even if her identity as a royal was disregarded, her pure capability as a knight was already enough to make her a treasured talent of any other country
And yet, how could such an individual be sold off to son land?
Idiotic was the only word that came to mind
In this discordant atmosphere, Milton approached Princess Violet
“Princess Violet, I have so I must-”
“How dare you be so rude to the princess!”
The one who cut off Milton and intervened was none other than Ward Tol, who had been a bystander until noith an expression full of discontent He did not like the air Milton exuded from the moment he made his entrance, and was even more displeased with every development since then
When Milton approached his future wife, Ward blocked his path and scowled at hi to portray his discontent as much as possible
