Chapter 274 – Are You Willing? (2/2)

Lin Xiao clutched his chest, the intense pressure made him feel like he was suffocating.

“I-I don’t understand… why?”

“Why else?” Elena looked at the princess expressionlessly and replied without mercy, “She’s tired of you and doesn’t want to be involved with you anymore, so she tricked you here and used the king’s words to tell you that it’s impossible between you two, that a toad like you should give up.”

“Give up? No, I don’t believe it!”

Lin Xiao could only feel his heart contract and the intense pain almost made him faint.

“Heh, you’re right not to believe it, because I was just kidding.” Elena coldly replied, while appreciating Lin Xiao’s changing expression with great interest.

“W-what did you say!? You dare fool me… cough.”

Lin Xiao almost choked on his saliva and wanted to scold her but felt heart palpitations so he clutched his chest again and leaned over the table breathing quickly.

“Lin Xiao, aren’t you very smart? So even if I don’t say it, you should know the answer already, right?”

“I-I don’t know… I don’t know anything… Elena, tell me if you know!”

Even if he knew some things, perhaps it would feel better coming from someone else.

“Oh, okay then let me tell you.”

Elena cleared her throat, ignored Lin Xiao’s pain and spoke the cold harsh truth.

“She’s probably tired.”

“Tired?”

“En, even if she wants to forget, and pretend that it doesn’t exist, but her engagement is still established. She’s the princess of the Great Qin Empire, Caesar’s fiancée. Even if she’s willing to come to your house to personally cook for you, to be taken advantage of by a pervert like you, to give her body to you, she still can’t change her fate. So…”

“So?”

“So, she’s tired.” Elena paused and originally wanted to continue using an indifferent tone to provoke him, but she subconsciously added some warmth and consolation, “She didn’t want to escape anymore, she didn’t want to lie to herself or you, so she invited you here to personally witness her fate, where she belongs… and unfortunately, that’s not with you.”

“Elena, I…”

Staring into Elena’s clear red eyes, he couldn’t help but lose concentration and dryly laugh.

When did she get so smart, in the end, was he the only fool?

“Am I a coward?”

Lin Xiao suddenly asked an unrelated question.

Elena understood this was actually the most relevant question.

“Yes.” She gave a definite answer, then quickly followed, “And no.”

“Hm?”

“Lin Xiao, let me ask you, do you dare to snatch her away?”

“That, uh…”

“Don’t rush to answer, listen to my question carefully. I didn’t ask you whether you can, I’m asking whether you dare to.”

“I don’t understand…”

Lin Xiao fell silent and stared at Elena waiting for her to follow up.

“Okay then, let me change the question.”

Elena cleared her throat and spoke with her clear voice.

“Lin Xiao, if I said that I was willing to command the demon army to attack Lombard Kingdom, are you willing?”

“What… did you say?”

Lin Xiao opened his mouth and almost cried out! Yet Elena still had an indifferent expression.

“Lin Xiao, with your gift, as long as your willing, if you spend half a year training, you can surely become an advanced eighth-level magician and maybe even break through the ninth-level… at that time, I’ll return to the Forest of the End and order the strongest demonic beasts to accompany you to attack Winterless City! Wipe out the Alex household, kill Caesar and the king and snatch ShenDai Ying away and make her your wife!”

“In that case… would you be willing?”
