Chapter 32 - Fire Princess of Arrogance (2/2)

A gentle voice escaped her full, pink lips as the surrounding youth immediately looked down in fear. They were all too aware of the demonic princess of the Fire Nation.

'A Princess... that explains.'

Sighing, Nik rubbed his warm stomach and slowly placed his knees on the ground. Raising your head in front of an arrogant Princess in the world where elements bend at the whims of human would only equal to committing suicide.

”Your... Royal Highness.”

Nik greeted officially.

Smiling, Azula immediately looked at Jaain Guo and shouted loudly.

”See? Guo! This is how you affirm a dog's worth, through his loyalty!”

Laughing loudly, Azula sneered at Nik's direction while speaking out.

”Speak, servant. What is your name? What is your purpose in joining the group of traitors?

Why did you turn your back on the Kingdom that gave birth to you and raised you?”

Her words pierced the heart of each and every youth present as their body visibly flinched.

Still keeping his head low, Nik continued.

”I go by the name of Nik, your highness. My objective, though laughable and outrageous, still remains...”

Taking a deep breath, Nik slightly controlled his facial expression to look particularly grim while holding his laugh. His head snapped up and he once again matched Azula's gaze.

”... to slay the Avatar!”

”...”

A wave if silenced stupor spread with Nik as its centre as all of the people present questioned their own senses if they had just heard a joke.

But still, not forgetting their decorum, the Earth Kingdom's traitorous youths remained silent in Azula's presence while the latter looked at Nik with a maniacal grin on her face.

”You? Kill the Avatar? How dare you mock the Royal Bloodline of the Fire Nation in such a bold manner!

I'll kill you myself!”

Azula shot towards Nik with a grin while Nik himself felt quite surprised.

Through the general information given to Nik by the system, he understood that the Avatar and the Fire Nation had a deep bond of hatred, but he still wasn't informed of the reason and who actually was the Avatar.

Out of the four factions, Avatar definitely did not belong to the Fire Nation or such hatred might not be possible.

'Is she a fan of Avatar?'

As Nik thought, he now easily sidestepped the punch, but suddenly, the flames extended almost instantly as Nik's pupils constricted.

Ducking, Nik immediately jumped back while kneeling almost instantly.

”My deepest apologies for such a rude behaviour, your Royal Highness.

But Avatar is a pretentious scum while the Fire Nation is obviously the righteous one in comparison.”

His words shocked all the people present once again as Azula finally frowned and stopped her attack.

”Explain.”

Nik took a breath and prayed to his fortune. If this doesn't work, then he was ready to find Avatar after escaping this place.

”While the Avatar was supposed to be the so-called protector, for his own gain, never showed his face and lived a life of cowardice. Meanwhile, the Fire Nation remained kind enough.

Though the prior actions of unifying the world have brought bloodshed and chaos, all of this is necessary to attain a better world. Under the Fire Nation's rule, the people of other Nations will definitely thrive.”

His passionate speech caused Azula's eyes to glitter brightly as her lips quivered.

”Dog... no, Nik. Good. Guo! I am taking him with me!”

Jaain Guo paled once again as a grin belonging to true scum reached Nik's lips as his head remained bowed.
