Volume 4 Chapter 18 - From which angle? (1/2)

“Very troublesome.” Seveni looked at Xu Yi with deeply knit brows.

“Troublesome?” Xu Yi had a confused look.

Just half an hour ago, he had come into Banta City to take care of something and had bumped into Baron Belil on the street. He found that he was currently walking around the street with an unknown girl, looking very carefree, so he immediately came to the City Lord Manor to ask Seveni about this.

It had only been three days since Seveni’s accident. When the two cars crashed, although Seveni and Baron Belil weren’t seriously injured, Baron Belil was still taken to the City Lord Manor for questioning.

Xu Yi thought that for such a serious matter, Baron Belil would be locked in prison for a long time to teach him a lesson, but he never thought that he would be out on the streets in just three days. He also looked so relaxed, like nothing had happened at all.

This confused Xu Yi very much.

Such a serious thing had happened and Seveni was planning on letting it go this easily?

“What can I do if I don’t let it go?” Seveni gave a sigh, “On the second day, the Stagg Family sent someone out to deliver five hundred thousand gold coins to me. According to the rules between nobles, making Baron Belil sincerely apologize to me and having Duke Stagg apologize to royal father is already giving me enough face. If I continued to do anything to Baron Belil, it would cause the other nobles to be dissatisfied, making them think that the royal family were bullying nobles.”

Xu Yi was stunned, “Is there a mistake? Seveni, you are a princess! Such a serious traffic accident and it just ends with a simple apology?”

“It isn’t that serious, right?” Seveni looked at Xu Yi, thinking that Xu Yi’s reaction was a bit strange, “I wasn’t injured at all and Baron Belil spat out several mouthfuls of blood, didn’t you see it?”

“He’s the one who caused trouble first! Even if he died, it would all be his responsibility, he deserved it!” Xu Yi angrily said, “That fellow had even been drinking at that time! If one wanted to talk about responsibility, it all lies on him. If it was me, I would have locked this fellow in jail, otherwise he might really kill someone one day!”

“You think I don’t want to?” Seveni rolled her eyes at Xu Yi before giving a helpless sigh, “But Xu Yi, even going through all the rules of the kingdom, there isn’t one about sentencing someone for hitting someone else with a Magic Car. Or it could be said that there isn’t a rule specifically for Magic Cars. He was only forced to apologize because he hit me, but if he hit a normal person, even if he killed them, it wouldn’t be considered deliberate murder. He might just have to pay a few gold coins and wouldn’t even need to apologize.”

“This……” Xu Yi thought for a bit before revealing a bitter smile.

That’s right, the Magic Cars for the Lampuri Kingdom and even the Sines Continent was a novel thing. How could there be laws for Magic Cars?

Actually if Baron Belil wasn’t unlucky enough to crash into Seveni, nothing would have happened to him.

Xu Yi thought for a bit before continuing, “Alright, your highness, whether Baron Belil should be responsible or not, could it be that you’re not planning on using this to do something? I feel…..that you could even accuse Baron Belil of deliberately trying to kill you. Trying to assassinate your highness, wouldn’t that be a very serious crime?”

“No.” Seveni shook her head, “I understand your meaning, but…..now is not the time.”

“Not the time?” Xu Yi knit his brows.

“Yes, not the time, I can’t do anything now.” Seveni paused before adding with a nod, “This is what many people think, you don’t need to doubt it.”

“Does that include Count Sean?” Xu Yi asked.

“Yes.”

Xu Yi fell silent before nodding, “Alright, I won’t handle this matter because I don’t have the ability for now. But Seveni, at the very least, I hope that you can use this matter to show the kingdom the importance of Magic Cars. If the traffic regulations that I suggested before could become laws, I think that it would be a very good thing for the kingdom.”

“Un, I’m finding someone to handle this matter now.” Speaking of this, Seveni suddenly revealed a smile, “Speaking of this, because of this matter, no one has objected to my suggestions and it has gone very smoothly. Xu Yi, shouldn’t you be thankful for this accident?”

Xu Yi stared at Seveni with a serious expression and slowly shook his head, “No, I rather have the traffic laws not be established than to have you be in danger.”

Seeing the rare serious look on Xu Yi’s face, Seveni suddenly felt a surge of warmth inside her and her face couldn’t help turning a bit red.

After a while, she couldn’t take Xu Yi’s gaze and lowered her head. After pausing for a second, she looked up again.

Although the blush became deeper on her face, she still met Xu Yi’s gaze without turning away.

“Xu Yi, I never got to thank you for this. Thank you for protecting me that day.”

Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, “This isn’t anything. No matter what angle you look at it from, it’s something I should do.”

“No matter what angle?” Seveni looked at Xu Yi with a gaze of deep meaning, “What angle specifically?”

“This…..first it’s the basic angle of being a human. Seeing someone in danger, as a normal human, wouldn’t I want to help them?”
