? Prince Vol 7 Chapter 4 (1/2)
Chapter 4: Celestial’s Fury – translated by ErodingPersona
“Scorching Flame?”
I had no idea how long I was just standing there staring when an anxious voice suddenly echoed out I tentatively looked to where the voice had come from, and my eyes fell upon Celestial… Celestial? I half-crawled, half-rushed to hi him as I asked, “Gui, you’re not dead?”
“Gui?” Celestial answered, bewildered, “What are you saying? Scorching Flame?”
I stiffened This wasn’t Gui This was the real Celestial Hoarsely, I asked, “Are you really Celestial?”
Celestial blanked out for quite soe tone, “Of course I’m Celestial”
Gui really has disappeared I squatted on the floor again, and said bitterly, “I a Flame I am Prince”
“Prince?” Celestial asked in bewilderment as he examined me “You really are Prince!”
“Then what are you still doing here?” Celestial suddenly jumped up “This is the Northern Continent If all Four Heavenly Kings arrive, I wouldn’t be able to protect you by myself”
I laughed dryly, “The Four Heavenly Kings? There is only one Heavenly King now”
Celestial was startled, as if struck by lightning “What do you mean?”
I clenched my fists, and said the words that broke ether, and Gui has just disappeared along with Clay Child and Flowing Wind”
“You-you killed them?!” Celestial shouted in disbelief as he trembled
I blanked out “We” killed “the Fla Wind and Clay Child1? I tilted my head up and looked at Celestial, whose face was filled with sorrow and fury
“Didn’t they hate you?” I couldn’t stop myself and asked, “Why are you so worried about them?”
“They were only children” Celestial roared “They were only children who didn’t know any better They never caused much harm, so why did you, why……” At this point, Celestial broke down in tears and couldn’t speak anymore
My heart burned with anger “Had they not captured me, Wicked and Gui would also not have had to perish with them, and anyway, it’s not just them who disappeared Wicked and Gui have also disappeared”
Celestial suddenly gripped rief “Don’t you dare compare Wicked and Gui to them; you know that you all still have a life in the real world, unlike us Once we die, we have nothing left Don’t tell me you don’t understand this?”
I stared… It was true, at least in the real world, they still existed as Zhuo-gēgē and Professor Min Gui Wen, but Scorching Fla left Just as I would feel upset over Wicked and Gui, naturally Celestial would also be furious over his fellow self-aware NPCs
“I’ht I would be the cause of Celestial’s bad mood
“Sorry? Do you think the lives of three of y? Hahaha, that is such a fair exchange, truly it is!” Celestial laughedwith tears
“Hu his vengeful gaze on me, he stepped closer and closer to me…
“You are all too selfish Just like the Dictator said, to you, we are all just a bunch of numbers We will never be valued as another life”
“But we also have feelings: we feel sad, we feel pain, and we feel love!” When he said love, Celestial’s face softened
“Even though Scorching Fla Wind didn’t like me, they never attacked me” Celestial’s face held a sorrowful look “The Dictator and I are the same; we don’t want to lose what few companions we have”
“But in one short day, I lost three of ht their murderers to the Northern Continent was me,” Celestial roared
Celestial has gone mad and he really will kill me, I realized as I stared at his bloodshot eyes filled with vengeance I suddenly becaht now I stepped back, yet I couldn’t think of a way to escape
Thunder sounded… Really, thunder on a sunny day? I tilted my head to face the heavens Can it really be that “He2” also thought that we had been too outrageous in our deeds?
“Ah…” A faint sigh echoed around Flower City “Celestial, coain”
Celestial blinked and swiveled his head toward the toith a large rose, eyes filled with regret and hurt, and then Celestial looked passionately at me and said, “I will take you to see the Dictator and let hi”
“See the Dictator?” I stood up quickly Could it be that Celestial wants to help the Dictator exterminate me?
“Yes, no et you here to Flower City… I sacrificed three co you to see the Dictator” The look on Celestial’s face… Maybe I was reading his face wrong, but to me he had a look of triumph that said that his plan had finally succeeded
“Celestial, you couldn’t have been sent by the Dictator?”…A spy? After all, Celestial noore an extremely serious and sorrowful look on his face It was completely different from the silly, naïve personality that I had become used to, and I really couldn’t shake off my doubts that the Celestial before had only pretended to be silly and naïve
Celestial was silent, before finally saying, “Yes, the Dictator sent s didn’t know about this”
“You lied to Doll?” My face darkened Doll had already started to accept Celestial If she found out that Celestial had been lying to her all along, she would definitely be upset
“I never!” Celestial roared, “My wife is ave are the orders that the Dictator gave! These two things have nothing to do with each other!”
“You’re still a spy anyway,” I roared back
Celestial’s face reddened He walked in circles, furious but unable to refute me He finally sucked in a deep breath, turned to me and said, “No matter what has happened, you have to follow me to see the Dictator”
What a joke If I were under attack by both Celestial and the Dictator, escape would be i able to kill the Dictator I slowly backed away, prepared to run at any given moment
“Let’s go, Prince The Dictator will decide everything” Celestial rubbed away the tears at the corner of his eyes and steeled himself
“There’s no…” I sed If I fought against Celestial, the chances ofwould be… less than zero If I just focused on escaping, ould my chances be?
“Celestial, if I fought against you, what are the chances ofsuccessfully?” I couldn’t help ht, if soainst the were… Wasn’t that a blatant declaration to the ene stupid again
Celestial, however, seriously considered this and answered me, “Approximately… less than ten percent After all, I can fly and you only have two legs to run with”
“But if there were so in your way?”
