Chapter 46 (1/2)
An old man was standing next to the young lady as he replied in a very gentlemanly manner, “I think none of them expected you to come here, and now they are all so pleasantly surprised that they are unable to speak.”
The old man smiled and looked at everyone, but then he spotted Huang Hui lying on the floor with a face full of blood and not able to get up no matter how hard he tried.
The old man gaped in shock, then motioned to the men behind him.
A few bodyguards rushed forward to help Huang Hui up.
One of them stretched a hand out and pressed it against Huang Hui’s face.
His bleeding stopped, and his swollen face went back to normal.
After Huang Hui was healed, he looked at the beautiful lady in front of his eyes, and all the anger he felt earlier was gone.
He whispered, “Elder Kang, this is…?”
The old man glared at him, then looked toward the beautiful lady with fiery red hair and said, “Your Highness, let me introduce you. This man here is from one of our nine counties’ magistrate’s family. He is the Huang family’s…”
“Oh wow! Who made these shots?”
Anna completely ignored the other party and exclaimed as she walked to the end of the archery range and looked at the wall excitedly.
The five men hanging on the wall would groan every now and then from pain.
The old man’s expression immediately fell when he realized that the wall at the end of the archery range had people hanging from it.
What was going on? An important guest had come to the capital of the Federation for a diplomatic visit, and she had to witness a fight?
And why were there policemen here?
Since when were the police in the capital unable to even handle this sort of thing?!
This was a serious PR disaster!
Anger was rising within the old man, and he was going to spew fire from his mouth.
“This technique is really not bad. I would like to learn it. Could I ask who made these shots?” asked Anna excitedly as she turned around.
Everything the old man wanted to say was stuck in his throat.
Everyone was equally speechless when they saw this happening.
Anyone could clearly see that a fight had just occurred here, and the fight got so bad that they were on the verge of killing each other off.
But then this princess felt that pinning people to the wall with arrows was fairly interesting.
Rumor had it that the princess of the Empire did everything the way she liked, and there were many things she did that were often shocking or difficult to understand. Now they had seen for themselves that this rumor was actually true.
They weren’t sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing for that young man.
He was still safe even after hitting Huang Hui, but if he offended the eldest princess of Saint Olanka Empire, the mighty Princess Anna Medici, then it would be hard to say…
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan’s lips twitched when he saw how Anna was pretending to look around curiously.
Gu Qingshan had no idea why she had turned up in this place and didn’t know what she was up to.
He wasn’t afraid of her, but he wasn’t confident about what to do next.
Anna slowly made her way over and stood in front of Gu Qingshan as she asked a question with great admiration.
“Were you the one who shot those guys onto the wall?”
Everyone watching started wiping their perspiration.
“That’s right.”
Gu Qingshan decided to just respond honestly.
Anna’s expression changed, and she curtsied as she replied solemnly, “I have not practiced my skills in this aristocratic sport for many years now. Since your archery skills seem to be so accurate and impressive, please teach me your ways, for the sake of the continued friendship between our two nations.”
This was such a standard way of speaking and behavior among aristocrats. Everything, from her words to her actions.
Gu Qingshan really wanted to turn and leave, but he managed to stop himself from doing so.
He really didn’t know what to do after Anna had said something like this.
Gu Qingshan didn’t want to be in the public eye too much. He just wanted to quietly enjoy his days in the university while waiting for the apocalypse to start.
But since the princess of the Empire was already standing in front of him, and he was surrounded by aristocrats as well as top-level bodyguards and secret agents from the Federation, everyone would be a witness to everything that happened in this place.
In other words, he couldn’t do anything to offend the princess in front of so many people. Even the president would have no choice in such a situation.
He decided to just go along with it since it was Anna who had landed him in this situation.
Gu Qingshan sighed quietly and bowed back. “Your request is my honor.”
“Yay!” Anna cheekily winked as she waved a small hand in the air. “Clear the place!”
All the bodyguards went around to ask everyone to leave the archery range politely.
If you looked carefully, you would notice that these professional bodyguards also looked a little defeated at this moment.
The Empire’s princess wanted to clear the place everywhere she went, even when she went to the bathroom. So the bodyguards were numb to this and they didn’t know what to say to this.
But nobody dared to raise any objections or complaints.
The king of Saint Olanka Empire was a force to be reckoned with.
Even the princess herself was a fearsome character among the Elemental Arts Experts.
Apparently, her Spirit Power of Fire had reached the fourth stage, Crackly Sun.
The lowest stage of the Spirit Power of Fire was Flames, then Roaring Flame.
From the third stage, Molten Lava, onward, every increase in stage would increase the power of the Expert exponentially.
