96

"I am, the second prince, Arthur Del Lagos."

His hair was a magnificent golden. Proving himself to having the blessed royal blood running through his veins. However, his eyes were an ocean blue. Now, without the helmet. His voice changed to one that sounded much, much younger. His skin was fair and smooth. He was a young man through and through.

Rosemi and Christine being educated immediately recognised the young man and popped over before performing a curtsy.

"Your highness, Rosemi De Lumix greets you."

"Your highness, this humble knight Christine Doltz greets you."

[Arthur Del Lagos: Lvl 36]

"Well, thank fuck I didn't kill the second prince of the kingdom because he annoyed me." Now that he had a clear shot at his face, the system showed that the young man told no lies, only truth.

Also, Asai began to notice all the little shimmers of mana flickering across the body.

[Silver Ring of strength] [Silver Ring of agility] [Silver Ring of Inventory] [Silver Ring of Defence] [Trian Ring of Endurance] [Silver Ring of Luck] [Earrings of intuition] [Trian ring of Accuracy] [Bracelet of Life] [Helmet of concealment] [Underwear of honour]

"THIS GUY, THIS FUCKING CHEATER! That explains why he was so slow when fighting me. His level is low but he makes up for it with stats! This dude is simply over geared out of his ass! And that helmet of his was why I couldn't see any information earlier. Holy..."

Asai stepped forward and bowed.

"Baron Asai Trichia, greets you your highness."

Arthur, satisfied with the reaction nodded.

"Rise." Ahem* "I attacked you because, even now. My intuition tells me that you're not human, but a monster. I hope you understand, that I am also finding it hard to explain this to myself. I have always trusted in my intuition. I wouldn't be alive if I hadn't." His eyes were filled with memories.

"Fucking [Blood Tyrant] This is all because you gave me that trash title [Monster]"

[Asai Trichia: Lvl 65]

[HP: 115 MP:115]

[Title: Monster]

"I asure you your highness, I am no monster. I'll prove it." Asai began to strip down, removing every piece of clothing. He made sure to neatly place his tunic on the ground, whilst secretly storing his accessory and weapons into [Inventory]. Now, stripped down to only his underwear. "Your highness, is this enough? Or would you like me to remove this piece also?" He pointed towards his underwear.

Rosemi and Christine had hidden their faces behind their hands. Although if one looked closely, there were gaps in-between the fingers.

It was currently night time. The relatively close by campfire placed upon Asai's muscle an eerily exotic glow, whilst the moon above gave him a shimmering aura of silver radiance. Rosemi began to have a nose bleed.

"Gentleman, please excuse me. I must pick some flowers!" The two girls quickly departed into the treeline. It was improper for two pure maidens to go through this, so Arthur nodded in understanding.

"It's not necessary. Perhaps I was mistaken. Perhaps it is simply my battle instincts, warning me of a worthy foe. However, I have taken the time since the lycan horde to see and understand how your men follow you loyally. The fervour and loyalty they hold to you. I must admit, I am slightly jealous that you'd have such good men under you. Even now, my hand itches, telling me to reach for my blade... Baron Asai Trichia, I hereby invite you into my faction. Will you accept and assist me in claiming the crown?"

"Why, why should I?" This blunt response shocked the second prince. Most people wouldn't hesitate to get into the good graces of a royal prince. Yet this man...

"I promise you riches, fame, land and honour. I'll inform you since it seems you're new to politics. I am supposedly dead, years back during the peace talks between our kingdom and the elven kingdom. I was sent as our representative. On the route back, assasins were sent to silence me. Courtesy of my brother Victor no doubt. That man is evil. I assure you. I can not explain it but once again, my intuition tells me so and I believe in it. It is only because of it that I managed to survive. However, I knew I lacked the backing and support he had. 

With no choice, I was forced into hiding, biding my time and strength. I was going to continue in incognito however I have changed my mind. I now have the support of Rosemi De Lumix, daughter of Duke Jeffrey De Lumix and if I also gain your loyalty. I believe I have a chance to contend. What say you Baron Asai Trichia? Are you satisfied being a lowly baron? Or do you desire more?"

The moonlight shone, glimmering agaist his golden hair that gently waved in the night breeze. His eyes glimmered with mana for a second. If Rosemi were to be here, she would no doubt be fan-girling again. Enjoying the eye candy of the two handsome men.

"Your highness, please grace me with time to decide." "Holy shit! Is this my fast track path up the ladder of success? But But! If I think about it, aren't I joining the losing side? The underdogs? Damn, I better play it safe and be impartial. I'll join the winning side later once I have more information. I can't make this decision alone. I'll be dragging everyone else into this impending civil war..."

Rosemi and Christine, who were hiding behind the bushes enjoying the show. Continued to enjoy the eye candy presented before them. 

Upon hearing the second prince's invitation, especially the promises of peerage. 

"IF! If baron Asai Trichia accepts the second prince's offer and rises to at least a count or even a duke's position. I could ask my father to give him my hand in marriage! There could be no better man for me than him! He's so young too! I won't have to worry about marrying some old coot just for politics!"

Rosemi clasped her hands together and began to pray fervently towards the goddess of Wisdom Loha.

A prayer in which the goddess ignored.
