Amber Sword

Chapter 1146: Chapter 286: Losing Their Own Formation

Nemesia and her knights were at loggerheads, but no one in the hall had yet noticed. The Princess of All Erune had already approached the Countess, she smiled slightly at Delphire, who furrowed her brow slightly and nodded gently while looking at the most beautiful princess in all Erune. However, the hint of concealed melancholy in her gaze went unnoticed. Princess Griffine and Delphire clearly knew each other, causing a small stir of whispers—Yan Castle is a family as ancient as the Kerkova Royal Family, their histories have continued almost since the Kingdom’s inception, so it’s not surprising that its members are acquainted with the heirs of the Royal Family.

Rumors had said that the Royal Family maintained mysterious connections with certain ancient traditional families, and today this was finally confirmed. The actions of the Princess immediately alerted several powerful figures present, only Marquis Youxi looked on with a half-smile. Standing to the side, he raised a glass filled with blood-like liquid and softly said, "Viruy satt (Elf Language: The show is just beginning) —" but at this moment, the commotion outside the manor finally reached his ears. Having greeted Brand before, he stood by the window alone and thus noticed the commotion first. He turned around and just happened to see the Royal Knights stirring, his expression changed dramatically.

Griffine turned her gaze to Brand, "It seems Yan Castle’s former Glory can advance yet further, I truly envy your fortune, Delphire, too. Is this your knight? Why didn’t I see him last time?" Her silver eyes held a trace of envy and regret, but her voice was calm, full of sincere blessings.

Everyone present knew why the Princess would say such a thing. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

A young man who entered the Golden Domain at the age of twenty, even if seen as an Elemental Enlightenment level of Strength, was still remarkable, as such a genius would inevitably reach that step. An Elemental Level expert, regardless of the country, is a powerful Existence that can alter the balance of Strength. The Kerkova Royal Family originally possessed upper-tier power surpassing many Princes under the dynasty’s rule, but since the division of north and south, Griffine was well aware that the Strength she commanded might not be more than what the Dukes held. In fact, were it not for Cross Hand Buga’s allegiance, her situation would be even more bleak.

But Buga was ultimately not loyal to the Royal Family, and the Princess of Erune was more aware of this than anyone else. She looked at Brand, unable to help but feel both heartache and jealousy. Why does heaven always refuse to favor the Kerkova Royal Family, even in this precarious time for the dynasty? Clearly, she could sacrifice everything for the country and her brother’s future, even her life and body. Can heaven truly disregard such determination?

But Delphire’s face turned somber, she nodded, "Because last time, father wasn’t sure whether to arrange a knight for me, so, sister, you didn’t get to meet him."

Brand couldn’t help but glance at the Countess, surprised that she could lie so seamlessly.

"I see," Griffine seemed to notice something, she raised her head and suddenly narrowed her eyes as she looked at Brand, "I don’t know why, but although I’ve never seen you, you seem so familiar... Quite strange."

Brand immediately felt two sharp gazes land upon him, his body tensed slightly, but following the gaze, he discovered Macaro and Liwu standing behind the Princess, these two cunning old foxes had obviously recognized him. Yet, Brand was not nervous, rather he felt more relaxed. He had come without disguise today, intending for Macaro and Liwu to create an opportunity for him to meet the Princess.

Brand knew that neither the Xifah Royal Family nor the Kerkova Royal Family would give up on the whereabouts of the Lion Heart Sword. When he triggered the Divine Artifact’s reaction back then, Liwu and Macaro were present. He believed that with Liwu’s knowledge, he would quickly judge that the commotion he triggered must be related to the Lion Heart Sword. In fact, the appearance of Erune’s envoy group at the Green Tower already indicated that Oberg the Seventh had perhaps realized this, and as his only most beloved daughter, Brand didn’t doubt that Princess Griffine would know nothing of this matter.

Now, the person involved in this matter was right in front of them, he believed the Royalists would certainly take action.
