Chapter 378 - The Abyss Crystal (1/2)

"Father!" Isabella called out to the Nephilim King lovingly. Then, she ran to the Nephilim King's side and leaned on his shoulders playfully.

On the contrary, Akatziris was standing at one side in a very restrained manner. It was obvious that the little princess Isabella was extremely spoiled.

"Your Majesty, the Nephilim King." Jiang Fei also did a formal greeting.

"Mmm!" The Nephilim King Augustus nodded slightly and did not speak. He just looked at Jiang Fei from head to toe, sizing him up.

"I heard that you're senior Ou Yezi's disciple?" After a long silence, the Nephilim King finally spoke.

"Yes." Jiang Fei nodded and took his Blazing Hammer out as proof.

"Hoho, a Divine Blacksmith…" The Nephilim King smiled and nodded.

Although Jiang Fei was a disciple, there were many different types of disciples. Jiang Fei who was an Intermediate Divine Blacksmith had obviously received Ou Yezi's true teachings.

"But even if you're a disciple of senior Ou Yezi, you took my precious daughter away without a word. Isn't that a little unreasonable of you?" The Nephilim King's tone suddenly changed and his face fell.

"Father…" As the Nephilim King seemed a little angry, Isabella quickly clung onto her father's arm and started acting all cute.

"Your Majesty, I had to do that in order to save Bella's life. And even though I've signed a contract with Bella, I've never used the contract to force Bella to do anything against her wishes. If you don't believe me, you can ask Bella!" Jiang Fei spoke in a humble but confident way.

As his Instructor was powerful enough, this gave him the courage to speak. Moreover, Protagoras had been giving him looks, so Jiang Fei understood that the Nephilim King was not really going to punish him. The Nephilim King was probably just testing him.

"Bella, has this kid ever bullied you?" The Nephilim King turned his head and looked at Bella.

"N-no…" Her father's question made Isabella panic. After all, the meaning of the word "bully" was too broad, so she could not help but blush slightly.

"Hahahahaha… indeed, it's hard to make a grown daughter stay at home obediently!" The Nephilim King suddenly burst into laughter.

As he was a king, familial love had become unimportant to the Nephilim King Augustus since long ago. Although he was very fond of some of his children, this fondness did not affect the fate of his daughters. As Nephilim princesses, their marriage had to bring benefits to the Nephilims.

They could marry the sons of Nephilim nobles so that the Nephilim King could gain the loyalty of his men. Or, they could marry the Princes of other Races and form new allies for the Nephilims. The ultimate fate of these Nephilim princesses could only be so. They would not be given the chance to pursue their own happiness at all. This included the most favored Isabella.

In the eyes of the Nephilim King, giving Isabella to Jiang Fei was very in line with the interests of the Nephilims. If he could get close to Ou Yezi, it would be extremely advantageous. It would even be enough to allow the Nephilims to break the balance between the Light and Dark Factions and completely win the war.
