Chapter 106 - The Second Prince's Woman

The moment Dante realized that it was not a show was when she killed the first man.

He had returned to the dressing room for a better vantage point to watch her perform when her name was announced by Lorem Ipsum.

At his distance, he could see the six men dressed in black approaching the center of the platform just as she was emerging from the pod.

Dante had been so busy helping Leonardo switch over the hospital ships to warships that he hadn't had the chance to watch her practice. Perhaps these men are part of her ballet performance.

They looked fairly uniform in shape, and all were dressed in the same black outfits that would be a good foil for her red dress and blonde hair to show up.

He saw the men running towards Candace and was expecting her to join them in whatever dance she was about to do when she darted out of their reach, vaulting away in a defensive maneuver.

Dante had seen her fighting stance. He knew that she was an accomplished martial artist but for some reason, he thought she was going to perform a ballet dance today!

So she was going to showcase her fighting skills at the Avgo Event. This would be a good choice, and also quite easy for her to do a great job.

But then right before his eyes, one of the men pulled out a knife, brandishing it around.

The crowd yelled out her name in thundering voices.

CANDACE!!! CANDACE!!! CANDACE!!!

Candace was waving at him to come at her.

Dante watched in horror as the other men backed off. This was classic rumble position where the alpha got a chance to duel with his opponent, one on one.

He jumped up and slammed his palms onto the glass.

Something was terribly wrong. If this was an exhibition of her martial arts skills, the knife would have never been something that would be used.

Before Dante even had a chance to move, the man had roared out his challenge and began charging at her.

He saw his beloved Candi lowered her body, waiting for the perfect moment to spring at him.

And then like a perfectly coiled spring, she bounced up, whipping her body into a rotation, kicking his head and knocking him to one side.

"Uuggghhh!" He flailed as his head whipped to one side, his teeth flying from his mouth.

The crowd roared and screamed out her name.

CANDACE!!! CANDACE!!! CANDACE!!!

Candace jumped on his arm, pinning it to the glass platform and ripped the knife from his hand. In one swift upward slice, she had slashed his throat.

She had taken that man down so quickly that Dante barely even had a chance to figure out what the hell was going on.

Fuck them all!!!

Dante threw off his black tuxedo jacket and tore his white shirt off his body.

FWOOMP!!!

His wings unfurled from behind as he began running out the door and through the hallway. He needed to reach the glass platform like NOW!!!

As he ran, for the doorway of the entrance, Dante calculated the distance that it would take to fly towards the glass platform.

Three goddamned minutes!

It was going to take three fucking minutes of flying time to get to her side. He prayed that she could somehow stall them enough to give him time to get to her.

By the time Dante emerged from the hallway, she had taken out four men.

He leaped into the air, flying straight at her.

Within those three minutes before he could reach her, he saw Candace take a flying leap at the two remaining men and began serious hand-to-hand combat.

He had only seen her fighting skills via visuals but it was nothing compared to seeing it in person. Candace targeted the most vulnerable spots and slammed them with unnerving accuracy.

She was small, but her techniques were deadly. Combined with the Avgo's protection abilities from flying weapons like bullets and shurikens and she suddenly seemed invincible.

He had almost reached the glass platform when she nailed one of the men through the heart with his own knife and had quickly thrown her legs around the last man's neck.

A final twist of her flying body and her strong thighs had twisted his head, snapping it from its stem.

AAAAHHHHHHH!!! The crowd roared, coming to their feet.

Swooping down, he caught her small body and flew up into the air with her.

"Dante!" She cried out and threw her arms around his neck.

She was acting as if he was her rescuer and knight in shining armor when all along, she had done all her own rescuing in the most spectacular manner!

Dante gathered her into his arms and flew her out of the central area, directly to the waiting transport pod. They were getting the fuck out of this Space Amphitheater, regardless of the status of the Avgo event.

Behind them, the crowd cheered and roared.

They had just witnessed Prince Dante, in all his half-dressed glory, swooping in at the conclusion of the heart-stopping martial arts exhibition.

He had picked her up, right out of the air and flew her away from the glass platform!

For an Erenveil Prince to be part of her performance was nothing short of amazing, and this would be the second Prince of Erenveil who had been a visible part of her Avgo Events.

The Princes were well-known for being sequestered and private, not showing much to the world of what they looked like, but Dante had actually bared his gleaming torso for the world to see!!!

Oh my God! What a delicious male body! Look at those pecs! Drools for the abs! Oh those sexy velvet wings! That gorgeous blue hair.

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

All the women in the audience swooned and cried, fainting with religious ecstasy. He was their demigod!!!

Dante's appearance at Candi's Avgo Event had made blue hair suddenly the hottest thing EVER!!!

Suddenly, all the hair stylists got clamoring calls from their male clients for appointments to get their hair dyed blue and cut into spikes, just like the Second Prince of Erenveil!!!

Of course, at this very moment, Dante could care less what people thought.

His first instinct was to ask Candace what had happened, but this was not the time.

She was clinging onto him without saying a word. It was obvious that she was just as shocked as he was.

For something of this magnitude to occur in the middle of a widely viewed event was a catastrophic failure on the part of the entire organization, from top to the bottom.

His only question at this time was how and why.

He was also intensely interested in knowing WHO THE FUCK DID THIS.

And when he found out, they were going to wish they'd never messed with the Second Prince's Woman!!!
