Chapter 38: Princess Talia
The old man's feet dug into the ground, and he was sent skidding across the floor as his legs created deep trenches! The man tightened his fists, and he grunted as he felt a throbbing sensation on his forearms! What sort of punch was that!? Mark's strength suddenly increased massively, and it felt like his bones were on fire!
Woosh!
Mark charged in for another strike, but a loud voice suddenly shouted from the other side of the room! Both men stopped as the female voice shook the entire building from how loud she was shouting!
"You old fool! What do you think you're doing!? This is not okay at all! Look how you're scaring all the people in the building and making them run away! Even the reporters outside are afraid that we're under attack!"
Mark noticed how the old man immediately relaxed his stance once he heard the girl shouting, and Mark eyed him suspiciously for a moment as he kept his guard up! The old man could only be trying to fool him into thinking he was lowering his guard before attacking when he least expected it! But after there was no more movement from the old man, Mark finally realized that the old man was no longer going to attack and he also relaxed his stance.
Mark turned to look at who was shouting. He expected to see an imposing female figure exuding strength and elegance; there was no way an ordinary person could stop this old man from attacking like that! But when Mark looked to the side, he couldn't see anything. He raised a brow and allowed his eyes to trail down... and down... and down...
"Who's the midget?"
Mark couldn't help himself once he saw the tiny person who had been shouting at the old man, and he immediately called her a midget! She was a little girl with blue hair and blue eyes, carrying a giant teddy bear with one of her hands while pointing angrily at the two of them! She was wearing a long white gown that came down to her knees and a pair of white shoes. Mark didn't know how she was able to make the building shake with that tiny body of hers! Was she some sort of superhuman? That was crazy! She was barely six years old and she was also a superhuman!?
"Put me down! Put me down! Put me down right now! I'll send my teddy after you!"
Talia's mana was already surging as she said this, and she was preparing to bring her large teddy bear to life! She was going to blow Mark to oblivion!
"Talia."
The old man who was fighting against Mark suddenly spoke up from behind, and Talia was forced to stop as she pouted again and looked away with a huff! Talia was already prepared to activate her power, but she had to hold herself back because she knew that she was forbidden from using her power unless it was necessary. Her grandfather told her that her power was too strong and she shouldn't use it unless she was in danger that she knew she could not escape from. That meant she couldn't use it against Mark, or her grandfather would get angry at her!
"You're already insulting me when you haven't even introduced yourself to me yet. It's proper manners to introduce yourself before anything else. I'm Mark Vanitas, what's your name?"
"I'm Talia Dragonheart! You may call me Your Highness! Now let go of me!"
Talia was angry that Mark just carried her like it was nothing. She is a princess and she refuses to be treated like this! But Talia was still a child and she could only do what Mark told her to do because she knew that he was right! She was rude by not introducing herself first and she shouldn't have done that. Her grandfather always told her that she should try to be nice to people whenever she got the chance.
Mark frowned once he heard her introduction. He liked the fact that she was still innocent enough to know when she did something wrong, but she shouldn't say things like that. She was too cute to be calling people names!
"Little girls shouldn't have a mouth as foul as yours. You're going to ruin your beauty with that mouth if you keep talking like that."Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
