Chapter 269 Should I Be?
"Claus!" Iris’s surprised voice sounded behind .
I looked over my shoulder and winked. Then, I looked at the two young n in front of with a righteous look.
"Guys, are you not ashad about using numbers to bully a girl?"
The two young n’s expressions turned grave, and the young n whose sword I grabbed jumped back with a wary look.
"Prince Claus." He hissed.
"Yours truly. Why? Surprised to see here?"
"You shouldn’t be here."
"But I am."
"Damn it." The two young n looked at each other before nodding. Then, both of them decided to retreat.
"Do you truly think you can escape?" I smiled in amusent and took a step forward.
Then, my sword intent flooded the forest.
The grass, the trees, the wind, the rocks. Everything beca part of my sword. Then, they attacked the two young n!
Before they could react, their last protective barrier was activated.
I raised an eyebrow. "Rather durable. As expected of sothing able to receive one ninth-layer attack."
The two young n were pale. After seeing my last attack, they felt like insects that could be stepped on at any ti.
"P-Prince Claus, w-we are p-prince Bryan’s n! You better not touch us!"
As soon as these words sounded, my gaze turned ice-cold.
"Bryan, huh. Is he related to the abnormality in the forest?" Although I already knew, it was necessary to put a show in front of Iris.
The two young n looked at each other with frightened looks, unwilling to ntion a word.
I smirked. "Well, your expressions tell everything. Let think, if Bryan is behind this, then surely his goal is not limited to Iris, right? What is it then?"
The two young n looked at the ground unwilling to say a word.
But then, I smiled. "I see, it’s ."
Instantly, their bodies shook.
I continued. "However, Bryan is unable to orchestrate sothing like this. Mm, was it the crown prince? No, even he doesn’t have enough power. He needed help. The Empress? Earl Carson? Both of them. If I’m not wrong, they bought so teachers from the institute just for this, right?"
With each word I said, the two young n turned paler and paler. Towards the end, they seed as though they were looking at a demon.
God, fooling idiots is so easy.
"You are surprised, right? Well, I have more. If Alan’s only goal is to kill , then sothing like this is not necessary. Thus, he must have another goal. Revenge? No... It’s more than that... I see, so it’s what he is planning."
"W-What?" One of the young n asked frightened.
"He will let so young nobles die and rescue the others. Thus, when this end, he will appear like a savior and get the loyalty of the survivors and the gratitude of several families. Mm, there are probably so other goals, but I have not thought of them yet. What do you think of my deduction?"
The two young n were completely terrified.
Actually, even Iris behind was completely pale, although for a completely different reason.
"P-Prince Claus, that is–" Iris looked at with an ashen white complexion.
"Do you want to know if that is true?" I asked. "Look at their reactions and you will know."
The young n quickly tried to control their emotions, but it was already too late.
"T-That is..." Iris staggered unsteadily.
I held her waist and put on a grave look. "Mm, even I did not expect they would dare to do sothing of this level. The repercussions of sothing like this are enough to shake the empire."
"P-Prince, w-what are we going to do?"
"Well, I’ll start by killing these two." I said while unsheathing my sword.
"T-The barrier!" One of the two young n stuttered in an attempt to gather his courage back, but a swing of my sword was enough to shut him down.
*Keeeeeeen!*
With a sharp sound, the barrier was sliced into two.
And in the next second, the upper body of the young man slid down to the ground in a bloody way.
"M-M-Monster!!!" The other young man scread in panic and tried to run away. I looked at him coldly and raised my sword.
But–
"Stop!"
A voice ca from the distance as a teacher rushed towards us with an enraged look.
My lips curved up in a mocking smile. Without stopping, my sword was swung down.
–Cutting everything in front and behind of .
With a flash of light, the bodies of the student and the teacher were sliced in half, dying instantly while I sheathed my spotless sword back.
Iris’s face turned blue. One second later, she started to vomit.
I sighed and patted her back. "Calm down, calm down. It’s just a bit of blood. There is no need to lose the calm."
Hearing my words, Iris vomited even more. Probably because she could not help but rember the scene of just now.
When she recovered, she looked at with an expression of fear.
"C-Claus, h-he was a teacher."
My eyes flashed with an ice-cold light. "Don’t you understand, Iris? The fact that he appeared here at this mont ans that he was an enemy too."
Iris was startled, but she quickly understood my implications.
"This... This is really happening..."
"Did you think it was a lie?" I smiled amusedly. "No, my dear Iris. My words were the truth. Currently, this expedition has turned into a hunting ga, and we are the prey."
Iris was aghast.
But then, she noticed I was grinning.
"You... You don’t look afraid."
I smiled. "Should I be?" Then, my gaze pierced space and arrived outside the forest.
It looks like Evelyn has already made her move. I’m sure she will use the information I transmitted to her just now well.
