Antia’s reaction stunned Qin Chu.
Since Antia had followed him, besides acting according to his commands, she mostly just appeared spontaneously in potentially dangerous situations to serve as a guard.
She was completely indifferent to everything in this world.
Initially, she would sit at the windowsill, gazing out at the city, but she soon lost interest. In this world, no one but Qin Chu mattered to Antia.
This was the first ti she had asked Qin Chu to save soone... Although with Antia’s strength, she could have done it herself. However, Antia didn’t take action, instinctively following Qin Chu’s commands, doing nothing until Qin Chu ordered her to save soone.
Yet, in those deep blue eyes, Qin Chu could feel a plea.
Qin Chu stared at Antia and, after a few seconds, refocused on the battlefield.
Antasia ssfield!
Fiancée to Prince Lance.
This woman was so beautiful that Qin Chu felt even Prince Lance did not deserve her!
She was graceful and dignified, chosen by Wozworth from birth to be his son’s princess, simply waiting to reach adulthood to complete the wedding ceremony. Therefore, her education was different from that of ordinary noble girls, as she learned the etiquette of a princess, with loyalty and love for her husband ingrained in her heart.
Though she had never t him, she deeply loved the man who was destined to beco her husband.
However, her deep feelings did not earn a reciprocal response; the very night she arrived at the Oville Royal City, during the welcoming banquet, she was publicly humiliated by Prince Lance, who even slapped her.
After gracefully apologizing, Antasia left the banquet scene and consud Night Sleep Flowers to commit suicide late at night.
The woman destined to be an incomparable princess thus tragically perished.
As Qin Chu watched, he suddenly felt a peculiar sensation. Antasia’s face seed strangely familiar to Antia’s.
Recalling what Antia had just said, Qin Chu’s pupils abruptly contracted: "Violet..."
"What is Antia’s full na?"
The National Guardian Valkyrie Antia, a legend propagated by the Empire, seed deliberate. In these legends, only the na Antia appeared, never her full na.
Violet slightly narrowed her eyes, giving Qin Chu an answer, "Antia ssfield!"
Hisss!
Such malicious thods.
In an instant, Qin Chu’s body broke out in goosebumps.
He instantly understood, how diabolically and cruelly the Emperor of the Oville Empire from a thousand years ago had dealt with Antia.
This cruelty had persisted for a thousand years.
Antia was too powerful, so powerful that she instilled fear in the Emperor at the ti. They crafted insidious thods, planting dreadful poison within Antia, then bound her with chains and burnt her in a ferocious fire. Lastly, they sealed Antia’s remains within a statue, inscribing a malicious seal to bind her soul.
And this was just a part of the Emperor’s sches.
In na, he appointed the then head of the isfield family as a Grand Duke, the most prestigious noble next to the Emperor himself, yet he banished the isfield family to the far north where snow covered the skies.
The Emperor feared but also envied Antia’s power.
He hoped the Abshen Family would also possess such powerful warriors. He arranged his son to marry a woman from the isfield family, hoping to tap into the isfield family’s superior genetic legacy.
Backing his intentions with imperial authority and substantial military power, he forced unions between the isfield and Abshen families generation after generation. Before each imperial succession, the isfield family had to offer their finest girls.
This process lasted a thousand years.
Perhaps, the isfield family’s blood truly could pass on excellent traits. Throughout these thousand years, every Emperor of the Oville Empire, whether shrewd or incompetent, always stood at the pinnacle of Imperial power.
Even Wozworth was no exception.
And now, Antasia ssfield, a descendant of Antia, was to be sacrificed to Prince Lance like an offering.
Antia had saved this nation but brought a millennium of catastrophe upon her own family.
The thoughts of these great figures were indeed chillingly twisted.
Antia had long lost her mory and was almost entirely unresponsive to almost everything in this world. She beca interested in Qin Chu because he embodied the strength of life.
Her reaction to Antasia was perhaps purely based on the power within their shared bloodline.
Qin Chu’s eyelids dropped as he stepped forward: "Antia, go ahead and do it."
Instantly, for the first ti, a flicker of joy appeared on Antia’s usually eerily calm face; her eyes brightened remarkably.
At that very mont, amidst the battlefield, the Assassin’s leader still wore a mocking smile, watching the guard whose movents were growing slower and who was accumulating more injuries, continuously eroding their will to fight with his words: "Surrender, and at least die a swift death."
"No one is coming to save you; your deaths are already sealed."
"If you surrender obediently, perhaps we’ll let Her Highness die a little more dignified. Otherwise, with over fifty of our brothers here, I can’t guarantee what state Her Highness will end up in... heh heh heh..."
