Chapter 153 - Come Bite Me (1/2)

”Princess Michelle has arrived!” The guard shouted loudly as the crown prince was about to start the banquet. His eyes lit up after seeing the familiar figure of his sister.

He was the one who sent his sister to Border City in order to check the four-elemental saint. He was wary of the sudden arrival of Cale, thus, he sent Princess Michelle to inquire about his identity and his goal inside the empire.

Behind the princess was Zero and the others. When they went inside the banquet hall, they felt their connection with Cale, making their eyes light up.

”Look! Isn't that his lordship?” Zarinvienne said excitedly.

”Yes, that is indeed him. But who is that woman standing behind him?” Nocturna asked with a frown.

Zero and the two other men glanced at the woman behind Cale.

”That woman... Isn't that Lady Aurora who fought with Azazel?!” Brogen almost jumped in surprise after seeing the familiar figure.

A torrent of emotions assaulted his heart. How could he not know who she was?

She was the human leader of Gallantos who fought against the demon race's upper echelons. But even someone like her died in battle. After her death, humanity succ_u_mbed under the overbearing invasion of the demon race and the survivors became food for the lesser demons.

That was also the last time they saw their world.

Nocturna was also a native of Gallantos, but she was not able to see Aurora. It was because her Elven race was the first one to be erased in the history of Gallantos after the demons' arrival.

Only Zero and Brogen were able to see Aurora and her final battle with the Demon Immortal Azazel.

”Her strength... It appears to have regressed an entire realm.” Zero said solemnly.

”Sigh! She was, after all, injured by Demon Immortal Azazel and was forced to seal herself. Who knew that she still died in the end...” Brogen sighed with remorseful expression.

”We were too weak back then, and we can only be considered as stronger cannon fodders. But now, his lordship gave us hope. Once he refines his nascent soul and steps into the Nascent God level, we will have the chance to exact vengeance for our destroyed world.” Zero said while clenching his fists tightly.

”Are you guys fine? Why do you all look so serious?” Princess Michelle asked them worriedly after seeing their expressions.

”Your highness, don't worry. We are just somewhat agitated to see our lord. After all, he went to the Cave of Endless Grievance.”

Zero and Brogen forced a smile on their faces and nodded their heads.

”Young miss Nocturna is right.”

Princess Michelle no longer doubted them. She was even worried about Seira's safety. Hence, she understood their feelings perfectly.

After hearing the great war a few days ago, she wanted to rush back towards the capital. But Zero and the others did not allow her to go. She reluctantly agreed to stay inside Border City after reassuring her that nothing bad would happen.

Now, after the war, they rushed back in the capital to join the crown prince's banquet.

”Big brother! Third brother!” Princess Michelle hugged them excitedly and muffled a cry. She was very worried about their safety that she lost her regal bearing after seeing them inside.

The crown prince and the third prince patted her back dotingly.

”Little sister Michelle, aren't we fine? Shh, don't cry anymore.” Elyon consoled with a warm smile.

”Hm, okay...” Princess Michelle nodded her head slightly.

The third prince wiped her tears using his sleeves and patted her head with a smile.

”Big brother, start the banquet.”

The crown prince patted Princess Michelle's head before he told everyone the beginning of the banquet.

”My lord, we are back.” Zero and the others bowed their heads lightly at Cale.

Aurora's eyes flashed for a brief moment after sensing the feeling of familiarity from Brogen and Zero.

'Are they...'

”Good job on protecting her highness. Oh! By the way, this is Aurora.” Cale said with a smile while pulling Aurora's hand gently.

”Hello, Young Miss Aurora.” Atlas smiled and bowed his head lightly. He already felt her extraordinariness from afar.

The others also greeted her with warm smiles on their faces.

The third prince was stunned after seeing Aurora's dainty figure, but then he felt alarmed when he sensed her strength.

'Late stage Immortal-Class level?! Who is this woman? Her strength is actually on par with mine. This is a bit troublesome. Tsk!'
