Chapter 237 Night Party at the Royal Palace... Part-1.
Time flew by when the students were excitedly wandering around the Elven city every day.
The meeting of gods ended in the evening of the third day and all the SS-rankers left the meeting hall one by one.
Everyone went back to their designated rooms to rest for the night.
The Tournament is going to be held tomorrow after all and everyone is excited about it so most of the students went to rest early.
Except for Rio and the others of course.
...
In the back garden of the Royal Palace.
"Whoa! This place is so beautiful!" (Riya)
All of the students felt quite astonished while looking at the trees that were brilliantly decorated with lights and the whole garden was filled with colorful flowers.
A band of musicians started to play classic elven music when the students entered the garden.
The refreshing wind breeze made the atmosphere even better.
Ryul and Syvis personally came to welcome the students.
"We originally only invited Ashtel and Jin for drinks but now that Al has decided to invite you kids too, then we decided to throw this party a bit more luxuriously, hehe..." (Ryul)
Ashtel who was already sitting on a nearby chair and was sipping wine with Jin glanced at the students and nodded his head.
"You guys have to enter the tournament tomorrow, so don't stay up too late, when you feel sleepy you are free to go back anytime..." (Ashtel)
The students nodded their heads.
A maid came and served them juice as they were all minors and couldn't drink wine.
Just when Link was about to sit down, his danger senses immediately tingled and he immediately took a fighting stance.
[Dragon arts: Vortex barrier punch!]
A massive fist that seemed like a giant's collided with Link's fist and a massive shockwave appeared from the collision of those punches and the air pressure directly swept away the furniture nearby.
"Hoh, you are indeed as strong as the rumors say, Link Rex..." (???)
Only after hearing that heavy voice did Link look at the attacker and his eyes immediately widened in pure shock.
The woman standing in front of him was at least 5 meters tall and her whole body seemed as if it was about to burst apart from those massive muscles.ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
The size of her bicep alone seemed bigger than the size of an ordinary human's face.
She was so well-built and muscular that her massive muscles might even put an ogre to shame.
The woman laughed loudly after Link blocked her punch effortlessly.
"BAHAHA! I knew I would be able to get a good challenge out of you, you are the strongest guy I have ever seen while being the same age as me, interesting!" (???)
Hearing her laughter, an amused look appeared on the four SS-rankers' faces, but none of them said anything, as if they all knew that this was definitely going to happen.
Ashtel even continued to sip his wine without even caring about what was going on around here.
Only Ryul tiptoed his way to the girl's side and said in a proud voice while looking at everyone.
"Behold everyone! This is my proud and beautiful daughter, Vanya Yeljyre!" (Ryul)
Only the maids of the household cheered at Ryul's words.
The students were just bewildered at this sudden introduction.
Originally Link should have been long dead by now and thus he couldn't have appeared here.
'Perhaps, she wants to compare her muscles with Link? Don't tell me she is also a muscle idiot like Link...' (Rio)
The story has taken a strange turn, the princess who was supposed to show up as an elegant and cool beauty, has appeared as a wild and courageous warrior who wants to compete with Link.
What Rio didn't know was that she had been trying to gather as much information about Link as possible, and thus she had no time to meet Fade these past few days.
Moreover, with a world-famous warrior right in front of her, who can compete with her on equal grounds, why would she even bother with Fade right now?
Thus, indirectly Rio made the meeting of this heroine with Fade impossible by saving Link.
If Link wasn't here, then Vanya would have looked for Fade but now the circumstances are totally different.
The only person who was unhappy at the moment was none other than Riya.
A large pout appeared on her face when she saw Link talk with Vanya as if he was interested in her.
"Haha, You certainly are a strong warrior Link Rex, how about you marry me? Our combination will be a massive success!" (Vanya)
"Uh, I am already engag-" (Link)
Before Link could complete his sentence, Riya immediately clung to Link's arm.
Her ears standing like an alert cat, she glared at Vanya and declared:
"No! Link is mine!" (Riya)
This scene made all the adults watching feel quite amused.
Ashtel even ended up laughing on this rare occasion.
Being glared at with such intensity, Vanya had no choice but to back away.
"I am already engaged actually, so I will decline your offer, Ms. Vanya..." (Link)
"Ah, that's such a shame, but it can't be helped I guess..." (Vanya)
Vanya's proposal was just a half-hearted one she was just testing Link's mentality.
She had seen many young people who got overwhelmed by her beauty, but as Link is already engaged he is effectively immune to her charm.
(Fun Fact: Being in a happy relationship gives you 50 percent extra resistance to charm-related spells and attacks... that's why succubus-type demons rarely target couples...)
As they say: 'Love is one of the strongest powers out there...'

Author's Notes.
Yo! It's your beloved author here! It seems that Rio changed the plotline once again without even knowing it....
Another one of Fade's heroines has been led astray by Rio's unconscious influence it seems....
Question of the day.
Would you have accepted Vanya's offer if you were in Link's position?
1. Yes (She would immediately laugh at your fickle heart if you accepted...)
2. No (I am devoted to goddess Lia, no demon can shake my heart!)
