85 Ch. 85 'What A Troublesome Foe'

"As you all know, Princess Xiao Yue has woken up from her long sleep. When you get there, you will meet with six other knights."

"Six?! Ugh, six small kids?" Denzel didn't like the idea at all.

"A kid cannot possibly be the Elementalist knights. At least they must reach the age between fifteen to twenty-five." retorted Lionel. "But if there are already six of them, aren't we both unnecessary anymore? Although we will still go there because we have promised Princess Xiao Feng to protect her daughter."

"Remind me why do we have to make this promise again?"

"It's because of Finnick's prophecy. Besides, you're the one urging me to grant the princess's request. Did you forget?"

"Right. Well, you said the prophecy does not necessarily occur."

"I said that?"

"Everything sir Finnick prognostication happened, sir Danzel. Nishian Island was invaded, and they targeted the young princess. If we hadn't prepared anything beforehand, I can't imagine what will happen to the Crown Prince Xiao Yang and Princess Xiao Yue."

"Crown Prince Xiao Yang? Xiao Feng had two children?" Denzel asked in disbelief. "Finnick never told us about it."

"Finnick couldn't always see the future. He might see the princess in his dream, but he didn't see the prince. So I suppose the crown prince was the older sibling?"

Lionel was somewhat curious as to why Xiao Feng had never introduced her eldest son to them. All this time he thought his former apprentice only had a daughter.

"That's correct, Sir Lionel. The first child was Prince Xiao Yang; nine years later, Princess Xiao Yue was born. The king never announced to the world about the birth of his children. They tried to hide the existence of their children to avoid the prophecy of the invasion.

Alas, the prophecy did happen. Her highness Xiao Feng made a successful escape way for the prince and young princess. No one knew the faces of the heirs, so they were safe for a long time."

"Feng'er is still as smart as before. She has prepared everything." praised Lionel proudly.

"The little girl grew up into a fine lady. I wished at least she had a happy life with her family."

"She did, Sir. Danzel. Her highness Xiao Feng was pleased."

Danzel and Lionel couldn't help but smile. After all, princess Xiao Feng... Queen Xiao Feng was their former apprentice.

"Where is she now? Can we meet her? I miss her badly now." exclaimed Danzel with the biggest smile he ever has shown.

Ling Duan looked down sadly. He did not know how to tell the two men about his mistress.

"Her highness... she didn't survive."

"Nonsense! What are you doing here then? If you are here, doesn't that mean

Feng'er is still alive?"

Lionel only quietly let Danzel interrogate the man while he examined the man's expression.

"..." Ling Duan still did not answer and chose to remain silent.

"Is it possible she already dead?" inquired Lionel. "That's impossible. If she's gone, how can you still be alive?"

Ling Duan sighed with a heavy heart before answering his question.

"Her highness is still alive, sir Lionel. But... her time is very limited. She is trying to stay only to ensure that her two children survived all these trials. At the moment, her highness is in a coma, and I don't know when she will wake up or breathe her last breath."

"So, we can't see her?"

Ling Duan shook his head sadly. "Forgive me, sir Lionel. Her highness is in a place where no one could touch her. If her body sense unfamiliar energy, her life would be endangered."

"Alright, we understand. So, should we meet them in person or protect Xiao Yue from the shadow?" Danzel didn't want to hear this sad news any longer. As long as Ling Duan was still alive, that meant Xiao Feng was still alive too. Knowing that Xiao Feng was still alive somewhere, that was enough for them.

"I think your presence is still needed. I found out that the one eyeing the princess's power was one of the Elementalist knights."

"..."

"..."

"The prophecy is happening. One of the Elementalist knights became an evil knight."

"Which one?" asked Lionel.

"It was the white knight. Elementalist knight of the Gale."

Both Lionel and Danzel was shocked beyond words. The white knight!? The strongest Elementalist knight amongst other knights??

"Lionel, if I remember correctly, the last time you fought against the white knights before, you were defeated despite the help of the red knight. Right?"

"..."

"The white knight is undefeatable! He mastered all defense and offense techniques! How could we confront him?"

Lionel kneaded his forehead in frustration. He remembered Finnick once said the one who will become an evil knight had a unique mastery. He thought it would likely purple knight or colorless knight. But what's this?

It turned out it was the white knight who became an evil knight?

The technique and the power of the white knight were indeed unique as he was the only one who had both defense and offensive mastery. Despite that, Lionel definitely never thought it was the white knight!

He still remembered when they were doing a mock fight with the former white knight. He was so overwhelmed to the point he felt he was facing a giant eagle while he was the pray. He could not cause the white knight the slightest injury.

The red knight who was impatiently wanting to have a match with the white knight helped Lionel to defeat the white knight, but the result was the same. The appearance of the white knight was still immaculate as if he was not fighting at all while Lionel and the red knight were shirtless because their clothes disrupted their attack movements.

Many injuries were shown due to blade wind attacks from the white knight adorn their muscular bodies.

In contrast to them, the white knight did not even need to move from his place!

The Elementalist knight of the Gale was indeed the strongest knight amongst other Elementalist knights.

"The Elementalist knight of the Gale... What a troublesome foe."
