“What happened?”
As the man with silver-green hair barged in, the students in the Royal Academy’s dining hall cried out in alarm.
“He seems to be from the Winter Nation; he also participated in the Royal Academy’s competition before. I recognized him. His name is Harold!” someone whispered; they recognized the man.
“Why does Harold look different from when he was in the match? This Harold looks much more terrifying! Besides, didn’t the people from the Winter Nation already leave the capital? Why are they here? Are they so dissatisfied that they are here to take revenge?”
More people were puzzled by that Harold.
Logically speaking, the people from the Winter Nation had already left the capital. There were even people who saw them leave with their own eyes. Even if they were dissatisfied with their defeat and wanted to take revenge, they should not have come to take revenge on Watson. Watson had defeated Augustus and Nia and was publicly acknowledged as the strongest genius of the kingdom.
Some people even guessed that Watson’s strength had already surpassed Sword Saint Reid and was the strongest in the kingdom. Was it not a death sentence to challenge Watson?
While those people were discussing it, Watson also reacted. He flashed behind Rose Weiser, raised his hand to block the oncoming wind blades, and stared coldly at the person in front of him who looked like Harold. He could feel that the man in front of him contained the power of a god. It was obviously not Harold. After all, he had clearly seen Harold’s death with the Book of Wisdom.
“Hey, what are you doing? If you want anything, then come at me. Don’t make a move on the person I want to rope in.”
“Watson, you can’t even take care of yourself, but you still want to take care of others?”
Agares, who looked like Harold, chuckled. Gods like him thought that humans were no different from ants. When he attacked Watson, he noticed that Rose Weiser was right in front of Watson, but so what? Would humans count the number of ants crushed under their feet when they walked?
As he spoke, Agares stretched out a finger at Watson. “Kingdom of Storms!”
A divine kingdom engulfed in the storm, floating in layers of clouds and high in the sky, appeared with a silver-green gale. The silver-green shell outside the divine kingdom was golden and glorious, flashing with a color that made people’s hearts tremble. The moment the divine kingdom appeared in the storm, the dome of the entire restaurant instantly shattered. The gale wrapped the fragments of the restaurant’s dome and flew into the sky.
“Not good. Get down quickly.”
Many students in the restaurant reacted and cowered with their hands on their heads. Some even went under the table. The scene was chaotic.
Agares, who was surrounded by the strong wind, opened his mouth, which was full of fangs, and said proudly, “Watson, time to get crushed into pieces!”
Agares’ divine kingdom gradually descended. Its appearance could be seen clearly. It was an enormous ship-shaped divine kingdom. However, that ship was thousands of times more majestic than the largest and most gorgeous ship in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. It was like a space warship sailing in the galaxy.
In the kingdom’s mythology, Agares was the god who controlled the wind and navigation, so his kingdom had dual authority.
In just an instant, the ship-shaped divine kingdom arrived above Watson’s head and was about to crush Watson’s body into minced meat. Rose Weiser, who was not far from Watson, sat down on the ground. She stared blankly at the ship above her head and could not stop her body from trembling. The wind had long torn her clothes and scarf, and even her face was covered in blood.
That divine kingdom formed purely by the storm was not something that a human could resist. The divine kingdom fell to the ground with a loud boom, and a large hole was created. To be precise, a hole was forcefully blown out by the storm. The soil on the ground had not yet touched the divine kingdom, but it had already been turned into dust by the storm.
Watson and Rose, who were in the middle, were both pressed downward. The other students in the restaurant, who were a little further away, were also pushed more than a hundred meters away by the strong wind, but they did not die. They covered their bodies as they lay on the ground, bleeding non-stop due to the flying debris. Even the entire royal academy was shaking.
“It’s all over! I will take everything from you!”
Agares extended his right hand toward the huge divine kingdom in front of him. He wanted to use the divine kingdom to hold Watson up. When there was no one around, he would absorb the thing he needed from Watson’s body.
However, before he could make a move, a loud boom suddenly came from under the divine kingdom that suppressed Watson.
Boom!
Along with the sound, long snake-like cracks appeared on the golden surface of the divine kingdom. Watson’s head was covered in blood. He carried Rose Weiser and walked out of the divine kingdom from within those cracks. Compared to Watson’s disheveled appearance, Rose Weiser did not seem to be hurt. She just curled in Watson’s arms with a dull expression.
“Miss Rose Weiser, are you okay?”
He reached out and touched the blood on her face. Watson used his healing ability to alleviate her injuries as he asked worriedly.
“I, I’m fine…” Rose Weiser snapped back to her senses. She raised her head and met Watson’s worried gaze. That made her lower her head in embarrassment and respond weakly.
“It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll deal with that uninvited guest. I’ll discuss it with you later.”
After placing Rose on the ground, Watson turned around and walked toward Agares with a serious expression. “You can attack me, but you’ve successfully angered me by attacking my future companion. No matter if you’re Harold or someone else who has taken over Harold’s body, I won’t let you off so easily. Now, you only have two options.”
“Oh? Tell me, which two options do I have?”
“The first one, immediately kneel and declare your allegiance to me, and apologize to all the students of the Royal Academy. Fix the damage you’ve caused, and I can forget about what you’ve done just now! The second option, I’ll kill you and let you go back to where you came from.”
Watson extended two fingers, and Agares could not help but laugh when he saw that. “A mere mortal dares to threaten a god? It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a feeling. Fine, I’ll let you know the difference between you and me.”
As he spoke, the Agares waved at the Kingdom of Storms. The ship-shaped divine kingdom immediately flew upward and broke through the sky. A huge spatial crack appeared in the sky, and the other side of the gap was connected to an endless galaxy of stars. A whale made of starlight appeared from the crack—just its tail was the size of the Royal Academy.
It was hard to imagine how big the whale was. It was probably not difficult to cover the whole area of the royal city. As long as the whale came out of the crack, it did not need to do anything. Just its huge size could crush the entire royal city.
“Starlight-tier spell, Storm Nebula Whale’s Descent!”
Everyone in the restaurant stared at the massive crack above their heads. Their eyes were wide open. Some of the timid ones were so scared that their faces were pale. Their eyes were filled with despair. “There is more than one whale. There are similar whales behind the spatial crack. The size of one whale is comparable to the royal city, not to mention countless whales. The intensity of the attack is no less than the previous battle between Watson and Miss Nia. Is that person from the Winter Nation actually so strong? ”
Agares was very satisfied with the exclamations around him. It was only natural for mortals to react that way in front of gods. After Ares found out where Watson was, he had set off as well. So, Agares had used the power of authority to rush there. After all, he had navigation power, so he could not lose to other gods in terms of speed.
“The Storm Nebula Whale is a god-tier spell. It contains my understanding of the wind. Even a god would find it difficult to withstand it, let alone a mere mortal.”
Thinking that Watson was doomed, Agares had a calm expression on his face. Initially, whoever got to Watson first would get the item in Watson’s body, and he just happened to be lucky enough to be one of the first ones to get off. Agares was even more relaxed when he saw Watson unmoving under the Storm Nebula Whale as if he was scared silly. He even began to imagine the scene of him dominating the divine realm after obtaining that thing.
Was the storm that extreme?
If a mortal was asked, then the other party’s answer might be a typhoon or a tornado. That answer was different from the gods’. The gods knew the storm was not a natural phenomenon; instead, it came from a Cosmic Nebula Storm. The intensity could destroy countless worlds. It was not something that a mortal could understand.
At that moment, Watson was in the center of that storm. The lack of air made him unable to breathe. The tearing in his body and even his soul made Watson feel like he was fighting Nia again. However, at that moment, he did not feel as nervous as when he was fighting Nia.
Raising his hand, the Limitless Compass, the Wheel of Reversal, and even the Book of Wisdom that he had obtained through fusion floated upward as well. Three top-tier starlight-tier artifacts surrounded him. They emitted a dazzling light.
“Summoning my future self. Activate.”
Using the Wheel of Reversal to open the door of time, and then using the Limitless Compass to close the distance, he would transfer the enormous power of his future self and then use the Book of Wisdom to project the ability to create things. He would copy the future.
Watson summoned his future self easily, and it was not just one summoning.
The hole that Agares tore in the sky was filled by numerous time and space gates. A young man about five years older than Watson in seven-colored armor walked out from within it. Then, the young man’s body split into three people.
“That is the world from five years ago? I feel like it’s the past.”
“That is the Royal Academy. I missed those days when I went to school.”
“Even though it’s not bad to be able to return to the past, Watson, as Future You, we must give you some advice. Constantly summoning Future You is not the best solution. What you have now will eventually have to be repaid one day in the future. You might not understand what I’m telling you right now.”
After his three future selves appeared, they started to chatter with Watson. They began to twist their arms and necks and do aerobics while they were there.
The Wheel of Reversal could summon one’s future self. However, Watson could only summon one from a maximum of ten years later. However, that required Watson to expend all the strength in his body. In comparison, summoning his future self from five years later only required one-tenth of the strength in his body. Furthermore, after the summoning, he could use the power of the Book of Wisdom to duplicate his future self.
The Book of Wisdom could duplicate anything that existed. Before the summoning, his future self did not exist in that world, so it could not be duplicated. However, after the summoning, it was different. Watson had only used less than half of his energy with the two copies of himself that the Book of Wisdom had duplicated.
“I know it’s not good to keep summoning my future self, but I can’t do anything about it.”
Watson shrugged. He knew that his future selves would have important things to do. Summoning his future selves was to make him put down the work at hand to pay off his debts for the past and wait for his time to enter the future. He would definitely have a headache over that. Still, if he wanted to enter the future, he had to overcome those difficulties.
Without the present, there would be no future.
“If that’s the case, then let’s get to work. The earlier we finish, the earlier we can go. It won’t take up too much of our time.”
When the three future Watsons heard his words, one of them rushed toward the crack above his head while the other two surrounded him from both sides.
Rushing toward the crack above his head, Watson pressed his palms together and pushed them toward the sky. Suddenly, two massive hands formed by incomparably huge storms appeared on both sides of the crack, forcefully closing the spatial gap. However, it was not just the spatial crack. Even the Storm Nebula Whale, which was currently descending from within, had similarly enormous hands formed from the storm beside it. The Storm Nebula Whale was not even as big as the giant’s finger. It was crushed into dust before it could even let out a wail.
“What’s going on? Why do you all have the power of the Storm Nebula as well? That is clearly my authority as the God of Wind and Navigation.”
Agares was in disbelief and panic when he realized that his ultimate move had been quickly neutralized.
He was surprised that Watson had used the Storm Nebula’s power and that Watson had actually summoned three future versions of himself. Even as a god, he had never seen such a move before. The three Watsons were emitting a powerful aura at the peak of the starlight tier, just like three gods who had descended from the sky.
“What’s so surprising about that? Isn’t that just the manifestation of the wind-elemental rules? It’s not just the wind, we know other rules as well. For example, we’ll use the god-tier ice-elemental rules next—molecular acceleration!”
The two future Watsons reached out their hands simultaneously and pushed in the direction of the Agares. The other man opened his mouth but did not make a sound. The space, time, and energy elements contained in the space between him and the two future Watsons were all in turmoil. The air turned golden-red at a speed visible to the naked eye. The golden-red pillar of light pierced through Agares’ body, causing his silver-green hair to turn black. The scorching energy flow also penetrated the wind around him. His entire body began to burn spontaneously. Wisps of pitch-black liquid seeped out from his pores and were burned into ashes. An ear-piercing scream was heard.
“No, no, stop, I just arrived; I don’t want to die yet… Ah!”
The scream became more and more intense. Agares fell to the ground and stretched his right hand outward in pain, wanting to beg for mercy. Unfortunately, it was useless. In just a few short breaths, his body melted into black ashes, and he was blown into the air by the wind.
The two future Watsons, who had used molecular acceleration to melt him and the other Watson, who had closed the crack above their heads, clapped their hands and said, “Done and done.” Then, they turned around and entered the gate of time and disappeared. Only a group of Royal Academy students were left, looking at Watson in awe.
So strong!
In their eyes, the strength that Agares or Harold had displayed just now was not inferior to Nia’s performance in the finals. However, Watson had easily summoned a few of his future selves, and he had easily defeated his opponent. Not only was he able to summon his future selves with such a magical move, but Watson’s casual performance also made everyone present feel admiration.
Only a few days had passed since the start of the competition, and Watson’s strength had once again become stronger.
Swoosh!
Just as everyone was thinking about that, a red meteor suddenly appeared in the sky, and Douglas’s figure appeared in the sky, looking at the miserable state of the Royal Academy’s dining hall and the deep pit that had penetrated almost half of the academy. Thick white smoke shot out of Douglas’s mouth and nose, and he snorted coldly.
“There is still the power of the wind in the air. As expected, that despicable Agares was the first to make a move! However, since Agares came early, why didn’t he make a move against Watson? Did he want me to make a move and wait by the side to reap the benefits?”
That was Ares, the God of War, who had occupied Douglas’s body. After looking around, his gaze landed on Watson, and he pushed his monocle. “That’s not right. Judging from the energy fluctuations in the air, there is the power of the wind and the rules of ice. Agares should not be the only one who had made a move! Agares is not here at the moment. Is he defeated? What a waste. He’s a god, but he’s not even a match for a mortal? Since that is the case, the things in Watson’s body will belong to me.”
As he laughed, Ares’s lips curled upward. It was as if he was going to laugh until his ears would burst. Slowly, he descended from the sky.
“Watson, let’s have an interesting battle.”
Along with his voice, a bronze-colored divine kingdom appeared above Ares’ head. It was filled with broken weapons and flowed like a blood-red river. The blood-red river seemed to have a life of its own as it rampaged through the bronze city. Everywhere it passed, muffled sounds and the wails of countless living beings could be heard.
The moment that divine kingdom appeared, everyone had a flash of red light in their eyes. The desire to fight in their hearts was soaring endlessly.
“I feel so agitated. I really want to fight with someone. What’s going on?” A student from the Royal Academy clutched his chest as he panted in pain.
“Me too. I did not feel that way just now. Not only do I want to fight, but I also want fresh blood.” Another student drew his longsword and pointed it at the person beside him, trembling as if he was struggling to stab him.
“That person just now was the God of Wind and Navigation, Agares. And you must be the God of War, Ares, right?” Watson’s expression was calm. He took a deep breath to suppress the desire to fight in his heart and slowly walked toward Ares. “Just in time. Your companion just left. In order to prevent him from being lonely, you should not stay here. I’ll give you a free ride.”
As he spoke, the Wheel of Reversal floating around Watson formed one time gate after another. Ares, who was opposite him, said, “Give me a ride? If you can do it, then give it a try.” A crack also appeared behind him. Countless ancient weapons stained with blood fell from the sky. A great war was about to break out.
….
At that moment, in the King’s bedroom.
Ash, who Sidi occupied, put down the teacup in her hand. Her black pupils looked in the direction of the distant Royal Academy.
“Ares’ energy profile has also disappeared! Agares and Ares. Those two idiots have really underestimated our opponent. Judging from how Watson destroyed the unicorn that I possessed, his strength must be at least starlight-tier. Furthermore, they also ignored the competition that the Royal Academy organized two days ago.”
“In that case, Sidi, did you watch the competition?” Sitting opposite Sidi, King Landhar III held a teacup in his hand and shook it with interest.
Sidi nodded and smiled somewhat proudly. “Of course, I am the Goddess of Shadows and Potions. Even if I am far away in the divine realm, I can still use my authority to control the shadows of some mortals to watch the competition! I witnessed the battle between Watson and Augustus, and also the girl named Nia. As the Child of God, her strength is no weaker than that of an ordinary god. It seems that she is not an ordinary god. I can faintly sense a familiar scent from her body.”
Stroking her chin, Sidi’s voice became lower as she spoke. Noticing that King Landhar III had pricked up his ears, she changed the topic. “That was a little off-topic just now. Speaking of Watson, the strength he displayed in the competition wasn’t bad. I reckon that even if we weren’t time travelers, six gods descending at the same time might not be able to subdue him easily, let alone one at a time! I’m different from those idiots who think that mortals are worth nothing. They’ve been too focused on drawing lots. If I want to deal with Watson, I won’t use such a simple method like brute force.”
“It seems that you have full confidence in how to defeat Watson?” King Landhar III chuckled.
“That’s right. Now that Watson has fought against two gods, his strength has almost been used up. I’m almost certain that I can now carry out my plan! Just wait and see, Mortal King. I’ll definitely take Watson down easily.”
With a smug look on her face, Sidi got up from her seat as she spoke. She took a step forward, and countless shadows suddenly appeared on the ground where she was. Pitch-black shadow arms emerged from the ground, wrapped her up, and disappeared from where she was.
After she left, King Landhar III frowned and said, “According to my plan, the power from those bodies should not be enough to defeat Watson. Letting them freely fight with Watson is also part of my plan! But why is Sidi so confident? Did she have a way to defeat Watson? If she succeeds, then my plan won’t be ruined. At the very least, the success rate will become very high. But in a situation where her strength is obviously inferior to Watson’s, how is she going to defeat him?”
In the ruined dining hall at the Royal Academy.
“Watson, are you okay?”
Kiana came to Watson’s side with Nia. During that time, the two women glanced at Rose, who immediately bowed with trembling hands. She said, “Greetings, Your Highness and Miss Nia. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
Obviously, Rose was very afraid of the two people in front of her.
“You b*tch! Watson got injured to protect you, and now you’re just saying goodbye? If I had stayed with Watson just now, the one who would have been injured would definitely not be Watson, but me.” Kiana snorted coldly, her tone became unpleasant, and her words made Rose cry out. She repeatedly apologized as she lay on the ground.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness. I’m sorry. I’m rubbish. I’m a bug that grows in weeds. I hope you will let me go.”
“Kiana, don’t scare her.”
Watson sighed and reached to help Rose up. He said gently, “Don’t worry. Kiana was just joking with you.”
The reason why Kiana said that if she were with him, he would not be the one who would be injured. It must be because he had been smashed by the divine kingdom, which triggered Kiana’s masochism. She wanted to be crushed by the divine kingdom as well.
“What joke? I’m serious,” Kiana grumbled. However, she only complained in a low voice.
“Miss Rose, we can continue our conversation now. I’m very interested in potion-making. Can you be my partner and teach me some potion-making skills so that we can explore the kingdom’s potion market together?”
Watson tried his best to look sincere as he reached his right hand toward Rose.
“I—”
Rose did not answer him. She was the same when Watson asked her before, but two different things made her hesitate. The first time, she was hesitant about joining Watson because Watson had just saved her. Then, she was hesitant. How would a useless person like her help Watson?
She knew herself well. Since young, she had been weak and sickly and had been bullied by outsiders. It was like when she saw other people during dinner; she would eat faster nervously.
Fortunately, she had a loving father who taught her potions, allowing her to find a ray of light in her life. Potions were not very valued in the kingdom because potions and weapons were different. Once a weapon was forged, it could be used repeatedly and passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom. The price would also become higher and higher. However, potions were different. Even the best potions were only a one-time-use item.
Furthermore, even though potions had miraculous effects such as making people invisible and increasing their strength, they also had specific side effects. The strength increase by taking potions was utterly different from the strength increase by training. Only those who were not very talented and were very rich would take a large amount of the potion to increase their strength and use it to show off.
For Rose, she was such a person. She was able to enter the Royal Academy’s warrior department because she had taken enough potions to increase her strength to gold-tier forcefully. Her dream was to develop a potion without side effects so that all weaklings like her would be able to obtain power that was not inferior to others after drinking it and would no longer be bullied.
“Young Master Watson, you have saved me just now. No matter what, I should join you! But I don’t have any special abilities, so I’d better forget it.”
After thinking for a long time, Rose bit her lip and lowered her head in shame. “I’m really sorry.”
Not only did Rose worry that she would not be of any use, but she was also concerned that after joining Watson’s camp, she would not have the time to complete her dream of a potion that did not have any side effects. She would have to use other ways to repay Watson for saving her life.
“It doesn’t matter.” Watson was not too disappointed because he knew that it would not be so easy to recruit people. Anyone outstanding in a specific aspect would definitely have a personality that was different from ordinary people.
After thinking for a moment, he flipped through the Book of Wisdom and constructed a black and white bead projection, handing it to Rose. “This is called the Blessing of the Gods and Demons. It’s a potion that I’ve developed. I’m giving it to you now. You’ll understand when you go back and study it. I’m not just saying that I want to work with you to create a potion. If you change your mind, you can come and find me anytime.”
With the Book of Wisdom, it became much more convenient for Watson to create materials. The ability to create things in the Book of Wisdom was very similar to the Wish for the World ring, but it was much more powerful because there was no limit to the number of times he could create it, and he did not have to pay any price.
The Blessing of the Gods and Demons was the strongest potion Watson had developed so far. It could raise a person to platinum-tier. He believed that any potion master who understood the essence of it would choose to join him.
“Today, I’ll try to get Rose to join me. At the same time, if I try to get other people, it will make me look too frivolous.” As long as Rose could understand the effect of the Blessing of the Gods and Demons, she would not be able to restrain her curiosity and come to him. If Rose could not figure it out, it would prove that the person did not meet his requirements; he would not need to rope her in then.
“Young Master Watson, don’t worry. I’ll definitely think about it when I go back.”
Rose took the black and white bead with a polite tone, glanced at it, and put it into the pocket of her uniform. She did not pay too much attention to it.
As someone from a noble family of potion masters, she knew a lot about medicinal herbs. The black-and-white bead Watson gave her looked very ugly, and it did not emit the unique fragrance of medicinal herbs. Instead, it was like a dazzling gem. It was as if several different gemstones had been processed in a particular way. Calling that thing a potion was simply an insult.
In an instant, Rose’s impression of Watson was significantly reduced. She would not listen to a person who did not know anything about potions.
When he realized that Rose Weiser did not seem to care, Watson did not say anything. He turned around and waved at Kiana and Nia. “Let’s go.”
“Wait for a moment, my master. The danger hasn’t been resolved yet. Something is coming. Do you want me to take action?”
Nia did not leave with him. Instead, she looked up at the ground beneath her feet with a solemn expression.
When Watson was facing the attacks of Agares and Ares, she wanted to make a move. However, Watson had stopped her. At that time, she felt a tremendous force coming from the ground toward Watson. That made her eager to try.
‘Again?’
Watson did not answer directly, but he was muttering in his heart.
Ever since he saw King Landhar III kill Ash and the other two and understood his plan through the Book of Wisdom, Watson knew that such a day would come. However, he did not expect that there would still be a god who dared to go and seek death after he killed the first two gods. Was that God too confident in his strength, or did he underestimate him?
As he was thinking, the entire restaurant’s broken floor suddenly shook. The floor was dyed black, and black shadows formed into arms that rose from the ground. They formed a pitch-black kingdom that was constantly squirming. In that kingdom, a woman who looked like Ash was sitting at the top of the shadows. Her pure black pupils did not have any emotion as she looked downward.
“Watson, you’ve done well. You were able to kill both Agares and Ares at the same time. ”
“Why is there another person from the Winter Nation?”
The arrival of the woman who looked like Ash caused the students to be fearful once again.
On the one hand, they were afraid that the last genius from the Winter Nation would also display the power of a god and blow up the entire Royal Academy. At the same time, they were also very puzzled. Two of their companions had died at Watson’s hands. Why would that woman still dare to appear? Was she not afraid of death?
Furthermore, if she wanted to target Watson, would it not be better if the three of them went there together? Why did they have to go there one by one?
Most importantly, Ash called her two companions Agares and Ares.
“Agares and Ares. If I remember correctly, they should be the names of the two gods in our kingdom. As for the two contestants from the Winter Nation, their names should be Harold and Douglas! Perhaps Harold and Douglas weren’t their real names? They’re Ares and Agares? They even dare to name themselves after the gods in our kingdom. Those two fellows are too bold and reckless. Their deaths aren’t regrettable,” someone from the priest department said. A look of hatred appeared on his face when he looked at Ash.
“Watson, please kill that person who blasphemed the gods in our kingdom.”
“Yes, kill her!”
With someone taking the lead, the rest of the people started to jeer. The people of the Holy Dragon Kingdom had always disliked the Winter Nation, not to mention that that group of people from the Winter Nation had wreaked havoc at the Royal Academy. Some of them had almost died, so they were even more furious.
“Kill me? Do you have the ability to do so?”
Sidi, who looked like Ash, jumped down from the divine kingdom and slowly walked in front of Watson. “I’m different from the two idiots. Since I dared to come here, I’m fully prepared not to be killed! Watson, from the few battles I’ve fought with you before, I’ve already come up with a rule that can deal with you.”
What?
Watson suspected that Sidi had found a way to deal with him.
“That method is—” Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Sidi came in front of Watson and hugged his arm, saying, “Watson, let’s have a child.”
“What?”
Everyone else in the hall was also dumbfounded. “Huh?”
Judging from their actions, those people from the Winter Nation were there to seek revenge on Watson. When Sidi appeared, her aura was also full of vigor. She even released the pitch-black divine kingdom. Why were her words different from what they had expected? They thought that Sidi had a powerful method to deal with Watson, but in the end, that was it.
What? A child?
“A child? I’ve never even made that request to Watson, so why did you get to make it first? In addition, as a member of the Winter Nation, you actually made such a shameless request. Do you still have any dignity?”
Kiana was the first to react. Her hands were on her hips as she stomped her feet in anger.
“Dignity?” Sidi changed from leaning against Watson to turning her head to look at Kiana with a calm expression. “What use is that thing to me? “Furthermore, I’m the Winter Nation’s Princess, so I should be with Watson. The current situation between the Winter Nation and the Holy Dragon Kingdom is not too optimistic. If I were to marry Watson, the Winter Nation and the Holy Dragon Kingdom would stop fighting, and we might even become one family in the future. Is that not a good thing? ”
“That—” Kiana was at a loss for words. The other Royal Academy students did not know how to refute it. What Sidi said was so reasonable that they were speechless.
“No. If you really want to be with Watson, then what’s with the actions of those two just now? Aren’t they your subordinates? They just attacked us. We can’t believe your words. All of this is just your conspiracy.” Kiana rolled her eyes as she found an excuse to attack.
Her words made the people around her wake up, and the look in their eyes turned from shock to hardness. Yes, if Sidi really wanted to be with Watson and promote peace between the two kingdoms, why did she let her subordinates attack them?
“As a princess, is that all you have? That’s why I said that you’re idiots. I asked my two subordinates to attack, not to let them hurt you but to offer them as sacrifices to Watson. After all, they have killed many of the kingdom’s geniuses in the competition. It should alleviate your anger now that they’re dead.”
Sidi held Watson’s hand as she spoke. It was as if the sacrificial lambs were not her subordinates.
“If you are still unable to accept that, then I can ask the Winter Nation to give the Holy Dragon Kingdom gold coins or other compensation after I marry Watson. Are you satisfied now?”
The entire hall fell silent. No one could refute her.
