The Prince was stunned and so was the Princess and the other guards. Even though the guard that the Crown Prince sent wasn't the strongest in the group, he was still strong enough to deal with people in this small town!
For soone to not only attack him but to defeat him so badly, it was clear that the person wasn't a resident of this town. As there were so many Royal Families in this town at the mont, the Crown Prince's first assumption was that it was the work of the guards of so other Empire!
"For another Empire to dare attack my people?!" The Prince roared. "Who dares?!"
"Does it matter who dares? We just have to kill them all! Let their Empire know what happens when you ss with us!" Princess Xin exclaid, just as angry as the Prince. For their people to be attacked like that, it was insulting!
All the guards who had surrounded the Prince and the Princess to protect them were forced to move aside by the Prince.
"Let see which bastard is so courageous!" The Prince exclaid, looking straight ahead.
Strangely enough, there wasn't any big group in the hall. It was hard to associate anyone else in this hall with the Royals...
"That man!" The Princess pointed ahead, noticing Gabriel in the distance whose back was facing her! She could also see that the man was holding the receptionist by his neck! It was clear that the man had sothing to do with what happened!
"It must be him!" The Princess exclaid. "All of you, go and teach him a lesson!'
Princess Xin had already suffered a defeat last ti in a small village. She was already extrely embarrassed because of that. However, she didn't take it too seriously since that defeat was at the hands of the dark mages. But to think that even strangers in this small town dared to do such a thing?
"You! Kneel down before His Majesty!" All the Guards stepped forward. They were all ready to attack Gabriel at the sa ti.
Gabriel tossed the receptionist aside before turning around. A strange smile was on his lips which for so reason made everyone in the hall feel as if sothing was wrong.
"You want to kneel down before you?" Gabriel asked, turning around and revealing his face.
Most people didn't think much of his face other than understanding that the man looked quite handso but that was it.
"Young Man, kneel down! Don't offend the Royals! Keeping your life is more important!'
"That's right! It's not the ti to be arrogant!"
The nearby spectators also couldn't stay out of it as they all started telling Gabriel to kneel down. It was unclear if they were telling it because they actually wanted Gabriel to save his life, or because they were just trying to be on the good side of the Royals.
"The kid looks so weak! How can he defeat one of us?!" One of the guards exclaid. "He must've used so sneak attack! What a vile man!"
Since the guard who was trashed by Gabriel was already Unconscious, he couldn't tell the others what actually happened. Moreover, everyone happened so fast that the others didn't even see anything until they heard the thrashing sound.
Most of the people believed Gabriel used a sneak attack since he didn't look any older than twenty. There was no way for Gabriel to be as strong as a Royal Guard.
Even the Crown Prince was looking down at Gabriel.
"And here I thought there was so powerful mage who wanted to go against us," the Prince exclaid in disappointnt. "It's just a little boy using vile tricks to show off.'
"All of you, since he doesn't know how to kneel and ask for forgiveness, break his legs and make him kneel." The Prince commanded his n.
Since the Prince and the others were so focused on Gabriel in the distance, they didn't notice the weird expression of Princess Xin. The Princess was covered in sweat as if she was rembering sothing really tragic.
The sa kind of fear that she felt last ti once again engulfed her as if she was back into the mont where her entire army was wiped in one attack and her own life was on the line! The man before her... He was him!
The Princess' face was already pale. She opened her lips multiple tis to stop her n, but no words ca out of her mouth, as if she had already lost her voice in fear.
Her heart was thumping the more she looked at Gabriel. There were many thoughts in her mind! She knew she couldn't tell the others that Gabriel was the sa dark mage who had destroyed their entire army! She didn't know how Gabriel was going to react to that after all!
If Gabriel didn't want others to know that he was a dark mage and she told them, she believed he was going to kill them all to keep a secret! However, if she didn't do anything and her n attacked him, they were going to be killed as well! In both options, they were going to die!
Her mind was so chaotic that she couldn't think of anything at all. She couldn't co up with any ideas to stop her n. It was as if her mind was in short circuit at the mont.
She saw her n about to attack Gabriel. There was no ti and since she couldn't speak, she could only take so actions of her own to stop her n from attacking!
Through normal ans, she couldn't stop her brother from attacking! The guards also listened to her brother and not her. To stop them from attacking, she saw only one option.
She rushed out, running straight to Gabriel.
The guards who were just about to attack to break Gabriel's legs stopped abruptly, scared that if they attacked, they might accidentally hurt Gabriel.
"What are you doing?" Even the Crown Prince was stunned.
It was the sa for Gabriel who saw the Princess running toward him. He was clear that the Princess wasn't going to attack him. She knew better than to be so stupid. However he didn't understand why she was running to him.
Before he could think of a reason, the Princess stopped before Gabriel. She stood before Gabriel, facing her brother.
"No one is allowed to attack him!" She exclaid, stretching her arms. Finally she had managed to regain her voice.
"Why? Do you know him?" The Prince frowned. "Even if it's the case, it doesn't matter! This isn't a playground. It doesn't matter if you know him. Even if he's your friend, he attacked our people! But for your sake, I won't kill him! I'll just have his legs broken and then he'll be healed later!"
The Prince didn't care even if Gabriel was a friend of Xin. It was about the reputation of the Royals after all.
The Princess felt so angry. She was trying to save her brother and the others but they were still being so stupid. She clenched her fist. If being friends wasn't enough, she ca up with a new way to stop her brother!
"He's my boyfriend!" She exclaid, but even having the slightest bit of embarrassnt in her face.
If a friend wasn't enough to save Gabriel, she just had to show a stronger relationship to sway her brother. No matter how arrogant and short sighted her brother was, there was no way he could attack the person she was in love with! She knew her brother well enough!
"Xin, stop joking to save your friend. It's impossible for you to have a lover and not tell !" The Crown Prince exclaid, seeing right through.
Xin bit her lower lip. Her mind was already short circuit since she could already imagine the scene where her brother and everyone in the hall was dead! No matter what, she had to stop her brother without revealing Gabriel's true identity! She had to convince him!
She turned to Gabriel. Her brother definitely wasn't going to believe her words at this ti. Even though she knew she was being stupid, for the sake of her family and the others, she didn't think too much.
She moved closer to Gabriel who was still confused as to what the woman was trying to do. Was she really stupid? Since when did he beco her boyfriend? Did she lose her mind after his last interaction with her? There were so many questions in his mind.
"Sorry." While Gabriel was still lost in his thoughts, trying to make sense of the situation, he slled a sweet fragrance as the woman ca even closer to him.
Everyone who was present there had their eyes wide open as they saw what happened next. The Princess' lips were touching Gabriel's lips.
Even the Crown Prince couldn't believe his own eyes. He could only scratch his temple, wondering if she was telling the truth. There was no way she was going to kiss a friend just to save soone after all.
