Chapter 113

"Everyone, I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm not feeling well, so I'll leave first. Please continue to enjoy the banquet."

After making an impeccable apology, Antasia turned away gracefully without even looking at the prince on the ground.

In Antasia's heart, all her fantasies about the prince disappeared at this moment.

Sure enough, the imagination in the girl's mind was just a dream after all.

Reality is far more cruel than one's dream.

Qin Chu didn't catch up immediately.

Wadsworth came late when Qin Chu had almost beaten the prince. He glanced at the bloody thing on the ground and frowned.

Good guy, the hero is really vicious... He is almost unrecognizable.

"Third brother, drag Lance down and treat his injuries..."Wadsworth's tone was extremely indifferent.

This reaction also made the other sons of Wordsworth happy, knowing that their eldest brother had completely angered their father today. Although there were many competitors, their chance had finally come.

"Brother Qin, I'll leave Antasia to you." Wordsworth rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

The most important problem now is how to deal with the aftermath. Antasia must not be in any trouble. If she is upset and commits suicide by jumping into the river, it will be a big trouble.

Just like Antasia was worried that destroying the relationship with the empire would bring disaster to the principality.

Wordsworth also had things he had to consider. Although the Ice Principality was cold, backward and poor, it might be the poor living conditions that bred a group of the best warriors in the Sky Continent.

Among the soldiers fighting against monsters, those from the Ice Principality were the most fierce and brave.

Once Antasia got into trouble, these people would probably mutiny immediately.

...

On the other side, Antasia, who left the banquet, did not return to Qin Chu's palace.

She was like a homeless ghost, wandering in this bustling city.

The gurgling river reflected the stars and the moon, and the exquisite houses emitted a warm and soft light... The whole world was very quiet.

This is a very beautiful city, but this city only made Antasia feel lonely and helpless, even colder than the ice and snow in the Ice Kingdom.

The night wind blew, and Antasia subconsciously pulled the dress that Angelica had carefully prepared for her.

I don’t know how long it took, Antasia finally stopped. This was a riverside, and the river water was gurgling. For the first time, she lost her etiquette as a princess and sat on the lawn by the river.

There was no one else around, and Antasia could finally let go of her strong strength. The crystal clear pearls flowed down her cheeks, leaving two clear traces on her fair face.

Along the pointed white chin, it dripped onto the dress on her chest.

Ah... No, this won’t work.

Antasia shook her head gently and wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand.

I can't cry... This dress was specially prepared for me by Miss Angelica. Although I don't know how much mana it cost, it must be expensive and I can't get it dirty.

But... I can't stop crying.

No matter how rational, mature and elegant she is, she is just a girl after all.

She was taught to be loyal to the eldest prince and to give all her love to the eldest prince... She was taught to be handsome, unrestrained, elegant and gentle since she was a child.

Maybe he is really a very handsome man, but what does elegance and gentleness have to do with him?

She was slapped in the face in front of so many nobles in public...

She is also a princess.

The shattered dream and unprecedented humiliation dealt a great blow to Antasia.

In this situation, people are most likely to go to extremes.

After enduring such humiliation, even the face of the Ice Kingdom has been lost, and she has no face to return to her parents.

A small bottle appeared in Antasia's hand, which contained powder made from the petals of the night-sleeping flower.

As long as you eat it, you will fall asleep quickly and never wake up again.

Everyone in the Ice Kingdom has a bottle... because they often need to go out to fight monsters, monsters, and wild beasts. Not every hunt can win. If they fall into the hands of wild beasts, they will be eaten alive by wild beasts.

Watching your body being bitten and gnawed by wild beasts bit by bit, that feeling is not good. The night-sleeping flower can save people from a lot of pain.

The indifference of this city made Antasia shudder, but of course there are good people.

A slight smile appeared on Antasia's face. For example, the brave man is a very good person. He saved her from those killers, gave her food, accepted her into his residence, and even when she was bullied by the eldest prince, he risked breaking up with the empire to stand up for her...

That not particularly handsome figure left an indelible impression in Antasia's heart.

Putting her hand on her chest, she felt warm inside...

That's right, so she couldn't cause trouble to the hero.

I'm afraid I'm a hot potato now. With the kindness of Qin Chu, he will definitely accept me...But she can't do this, and can't cause trouble to the hero anymore.

Maybe it would be cleaner for me to fall asleep like this.

Antasia twisted the seal of the bottle, looked at the powder inside, with a sad smile on her face, and was ready to pour all the powder into her mouth.

But just when Antasia raised her little hand, a stone suddenly flew over from behind.

With a snap, it hit the bottle accurately and flew directly into the river.

Antasia turned around in surprise, and Qin Chu's figure was behind her, and the moonlight sprinkled on his face was a little hazy.

She was flustered for no reason. She pressed the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand and stood up quickly: "Mr. Brave, why are you here?"

"I'm fine. I just want to come out for some fresh air. Sorry for letting you see me in such a disgraceful state."

Qin Chu did not answer immediately. He just stretched lazily, then lay on the ground with his legs spread out. He tilted his head and picked up a dogtail grass from the grass beside him. The green grass branch swayed up and down at the corner of Qin Chu's mouth. His big eyes looked at the moon above his head and he spoke vaguely:

"Dignity?"

"Please, I never cared about that stuff."

"To be honest, it's really tiring to imitate the way the upper class people in this world speak. It's more tiring than fighting monsters."

Antasia was a little surprised by Qin Chu's sudden and very different performance from before. The current brave man had no gentleman's manners and no noble elegance, but Antasia didn't hate him. It even made her feel more real, as if the distance between her and the brave man was a little closer.

"Don't always think about committing suicide..." Qin Chu muttered: "It's really not worth it to commit suicide for a bastard like the eldest prince."

"Besides, who do you think is happiest now that you are dead? It must be the eldest prince. That guy finally has one less stumbling block. I guess he will jump up with excitement."

Antasia was a little shocked. She knew that her lies could not be hidden from the hero.

"You think so..."

"Were you humiliated tonight?"

Antasia nodded.

Unprecedented humiliation.

"Is the eldest prince also humiliated?"

Antasia nodded again. You did it, and you still ask me?

"Then who do you think is more humiliated, the eldest prince or you?"

Anstasia was stunned for a moment. Although her future husband did not love her at all, and even though he was slapped...but in comparison, the eldest prince was hit in the head by dozens of wine bottles in a row, his head was smashed, and his whole body was It's all dirty from top to bottom...

Moreover, the scene of the eldest prince beating himself was not seen by many people, but the scene of the eldest prince being beaten by Qin Chu was clearly seen by everyone.

The eldest prince's status is even more noble, and he is the successor of the next emperor... It seems that the eldest prince has been humiliated much more seriously than himself.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I don't feel so uncomfortable anymore, and I even feel a little happy.

"Haha, do you feel better?" Qin Chu said with a smile.

"Also, you don't have to worry about the Ice Kingdom and the Empire breaking up. Wordsworth is no longer planning to let the eldest prince inherit the throne. This idiot is done."

"And now is the time to fight against monsters. Before the monsters are pacified, the Empire must also maintain a good relationship with the Ice Kingdom."

"So don't worry so much."

Antasia stood stupidly beside Qin Chu, thinking about what Qin Chu had just said.

Letting the night wind blow her long hair and skirt, the will to die in her heart seemed to have really dissipated a lot.

The brave man's free and fearless is a quality that she does not possess.

Because the national strength of the Ice Kingdom is far less powerful than that of the Empire, Antasia has always been cautious, fearing that her actions will lose the state status and offend someone, which will bring trouble to the Principality.

But now thinking about it, it seems that I have considered too much.

Although the Empire looks powerful, this country has long been rotten from the inside. Perhaps, it only has a strong shell left.

Moreover, what the brave man said was right. If I die now, the happiest person will definitely be the eldest prince... But my parents will be sad because of my death.

Did I have a brain cramp just now, so I did such a thing that made my relatives sad and my enemies happy?

Her mood gradually calmed down, and then she unexpectedly found that she was not that sad... She even felt relieved as if she had finally broken free from the shackles.

After calming down, Antasia's intelligence was gradually returning. Perhaps, she did not love the eldest prince as deeply as she thought.

This so-called love was just an illusion formed by the etiquette teacher's long-term indoctrination.

When I was with the eldest prince, I was only nervous, afraid, and trembling, far from being as relaxed, happy and stable as when I was with Qin Chu.

She sat silently beside Qin Chu, supporting her chin with her hand, staring at the night sky.

The brave man let his hair be blown by the night wind and fell on Qin Chu's face. He even opened his lips and bit a strand of it. What kind of smell can hair have...

The eldest prince would only ignore him, let others laugh at him, and slap him...

But the brave man would save him from the killer, give him precious food, take him in, prepare a beautiful dress for him, praise his beauty, and stand up for him when he was bullied...

Under the moonlight, Antasia's fair cheeks suddenly smiled foolishly.

This heroic woman from the Ice Country has walked out of false love and weakness, and she has recognized her own heart.

Her beautiful eyes glanced at the hero next to her, and she suddenly leaned over.

Her ice-white jelly-like lips came close to Qin Chu's ear and murmured softly:

"Hero...you have to take responsibility for me..."

"Huh?" Qin Chu was a little confused, what did that mean?

"It's because of you that I made this decision." Antasia said with a soft smile.

"What decision?"

"I want to cancel the engagement!"

Chapter 146 The Struggle of the Goddess (3)

Cancel the engagement!

Antasia's words surprised Qin Chu.

As the princess of the Ice Country, she actually wanted to cancel the engagement with the eldest prince of the empire. This is definitely not a decision that an ordinary girl can make. The pressure is even enough to make people collapse. In this case, ordinary girls would probably just choose to bear it silently.

Because of the consequences of breaking off the engagement, she and her country simply could not bear it.

Antasia was prepared to endure it silently at the beginning, and even prepared to commit suicide without thinking of the option of breaking off the engagement.

Being broken off the engagement is a great shame for the eldest prince and the entire empire. Once the empire is angry, the consequences of the Ice Principality cannot be borne at all, but Antasia resolutely chose this option.

"Have you thought about it carefully?"

"Of course, most of the monsters on the northern line of the Sky Continent are resisted by the Ice Principality. If the empire really wants to harm the Ice Principality, then I will ask my father to withdraw from the front line and let the monsters from the north march straight in. After all, if it is really completely hostile, then for the Ice Principality, it will either die in the hands of monsters or in the hands of the imperial army. It's all death, so why not take more people to hell? I think Wordsworth will definitely consider it carefully."

"Because the empire's long-term oppression of the Ice Principality has long made many people in the Principality dissatisfied. I think there should be many people willing to do so at that time."

Antasia's voice was cold.

This girl showed extraordinary perseverance and sharpness.

Qin Chu suddenly laughed heartily. Yes, that's right, it should be like this. When you are not afraid of death, then it's the turn of others to be afraid of you. Antasia finally understood this truth.

In the first round, Antasia committed suicide because she couldn't think straight. The consequence was the mutiny and rebellion in the North Country, and the Imperial Army sacrificed hundreds of thousands of soldiers for this.

Even once the monsters invaded the hinterland, suffered heavy losses, and went through a very difficult period.

As long as Antasia can grasp this point, there is no need to worry about the threat of the empire. At least, before the hero pacifies the monsters... As for the hero Qin Chu, he should go to pacify the monsters, right?
