Chapter 3335: Untitled
“How—how could it be?”
Princess Summer’s face was even redder than the chili on the kebab. She thought for a moment and bit the meat, before she tore off a small piece of meat from the kebab and tasted it carefully.
“This is my best, best Sister Ah Xia.”
Theresa took the opportunity to hold her hand and rubbed her bottom against Princess Summer’s. “What were we talking about yesterday? Right. What happened after you escaped from the ‘Eagle Kingdom’, Sister Summer?”
Princess Summer had grown used to Theresa’s intimacy over the past few days. She only considered her to be an innocent little sister. The two of them shared stories of the past while they shared meat skewers.
Princess Summer said, “Ever since my uncle took over my father’s throne, I’ve run away from the Eagle Kingdom. I swear that I never thought of fighting for the throne with my uncle. I—I’m not good at commanding an army, nor am I as strong as Natasha. Or my sister Hera’s wisdom and magic. I was just an unknown princess in the court. That’s why I was able to run away from my uncle’s slaughter.
“However, even though my uncle killed so many people, I did not have the courage to fight him. Even my father did not expect that I could avenge him before he died. He only asked me to run as far away as possible to the end of the world.
“It was a pity that, even though I ran away from the Eagle Kingdom obediently according to my father’s last wish, my uncle still wouldn’t let me go. After all, I was the last of my father’s bloodline and the rightful heir to the throne.
“My uncle sent a lot of brutal assassins and mercenaries to hunt me down. The guards who were loyal to my father and me were all killed. In the end, I was the only one left to face the enemy of an entire mercenary group.
“Ah…”
Theresa’s eyes bulged. “Then what can we do?”
“Yes. At that time, I was desperate, too. I even felt relieved. I closed my eyes and thought that I would meet my father and my brothers and sisters in the netherworld very soon. But I did hear the sounds of fighting and blades tearing the air apart, and I did not feel any pain.
Excitement was beaming out of Princess Summer’s eyes and face. “I saw him when I opened my eyes!”
“Him?” Theresa asked.
“Yes. Lord Black Jack!”
Princess Summer’s voice was shaking in excitement when she mentioned Black Jack. She shook Theresa hard and said, “You can’t imagine what it was like. It was a brilliant morning with a red sun. Lord Black Jack fell from the sky on a bronze dragon and defeated all the evil mercenaries with nothing but his saber. He—he was simply the strongest and most handsome man in the world!”
“I see.”
Theresa mumbled, “The guy has indeed spent a lot of money on girls.”
“Huh?”
Princess Summer blinked. “Teresa, what did you say?”
“N-nothing. Please continue.”
Theresa said, “What happened next?”
“Later, I followed Lord Black Jack all the time. Only with his protection was I not harassed by the pursuers of the ‘Eagle Kingdom’.
Princess Summer said, “At first, Uncle sent a lot of evil mercenaries, assassins, and sorcerers to hunt me down, but they were all easily dealt with by Lord Black Jack. Later, as more and more sisters joined Lord Black Jack’s adventure team, they gradually formed a force that was not to be underestimated. Uncle did not dare to mess with us anymore.”
“It’s like this…”
Theresa asked, “Sister Summer, what are your plans from now on? Are you going to stay with Lord Black Jack? Have you ever thought of going back to the ‘Eagle Kingdom’ to take revenge and take back the throne?”
“Take back the throne?”
Princess Summer’s eyes bulged, as if she had heard the most absurd joke. She shook her head hard and said in self-mockery, “Forget it. I know myself. I’m a good-for-nothing girl who can’t even be a princess, much less a queen.
“My uncle… Although his methods to seize the throne were cruel and he killed so many of my family, I have to admit that he is a good king. Under his leadership, the Eagle Kingdom has become stronger than ever. After such a long time, how can I go back and challenge him?
“Forget it. Staying with so many sisters and serving Lord Black Jack forever might be my destiny. It is the best arrangement that God has given me.
“Destiny? Heaven? Bestow?”
Theresa turned around and pursed her lips in disdain.
“Sister Summer, do you really think that… staying by Lord Black Jack’s side forever is a happy thing?” Theresa asked solemnly.
“Of course. For a princess in exile who has lost her country and doesn’t have much capability, it was already a blessing from fate that I was protected by Lord Black Jack. What is there to be unhappy about?”
Princess Summer said, “But you, Theresa, are so weird!”
“What’s so strange about me?” Theresa’s expression turned unnatural.
“Your attitude toward Lord Black Jack seems to be more than shyness. It is also… indifferent?”
Princess Summer eyed her suspiciously. “How is that possible? Lord Black Jack is the most handsome, powerful, and manly hero in the world. How can any girl not like him?”
He had been seen through.
The princess had keen instincts.
“Maybe because, because…”
Theresa racked her brain and said somewhat clumsily, “Because I’ve seen men more heroic than Lord Black Jack!”
“Huh?”
Princess Summer exclaimed in disbelief, “How is it possible?”
“It’s true.”
Theresa extended three fingers and made a solemn vow. “Sister Summer grew up in a palace and has never seen too many heroes. It’s perfectly normal that she was attracted by Lord Black Jack’s handsome appearance when he descended from the sky. But I’ve seen a lot more in the chaotic world… Real men, even if they are not necessarily better than Lord Black Jack, have their own charms. That’s why I’m not as excited as you are. Yes. That’s it.”
“A real man?”
Princess Summer narrowed her eyes, her eyes full of suspicion. “It’s hard for me to imagine that somebody is better than Lord Black Jack. Who is he? What is his name?”
“Well, he is a hero from my hometown.”
Theresa took a deep breath and said solemnly, “He turned the situation around at the critical moment. He risked his life to save his innocent compatriots. He defeated the evil demon king all by himself. He is the best of the best. Countless girls adore him, just like you admire Lord Black Jack. His name is… Han Te, the king of cannons in the sea of stars!”
