“Oh, f*ck!” Xerxes was boiling with anger as favonovel.com cursed. His voice was thunderous.
Mystic Maiden stared at the dark clouds and said telepathically to Alex, “Something’s wrong, be ready to leave at any time.”
Alex replied. “Alright!”
Although Principal Lewin was Jade’s ex-husband, even couples flee on their own when in danger. He was helpless in such a situation. If the troops wanted Principal Lewin as their prince consort, favonovel.com could only give them his blessings.
Up above, the grey clouds became thicker. The spirits of the soldiers were also increasing, and the troops roared. Finally, their image became more evident. The sea moved, and waves tens of meters tall rose, carrying the boat along with it. Vast seawater moved like a fountain as if some sort of power was entrapping the boat…
Half of the Immortal Bird’s large body hung in the air from the water pillar. It kicked its legs furiously and clawed onto the boat desperately, afraid of falling into the sea and drowning.
“Greetings, prince consort. The princess awaits!”
“Please enter the sedan chair, prince consort.”
“Pfft…”
Alex almost spat at the impressively good service.
As expected, among the troop of soldiers was a vintage red sedan chair. It was surrounded and carried by the soldiers. They led it to the front in order and gently placed it on the water surface. It looked very heavy, but it was balanced and stable on the surface of the sea. There were dragons and phoenixes embroidered on the curtains of the sedan chair, images that resembled celebration.
It seemed like they wanted Principal Lewin to get onto the chair voluntarily.
Mandy was panicking. ‘This is my husband. How can I possibly agree to this?’
“Honey, what do we do? Can we escape?”
Xerxes was silent.
Alex spoke up. “You can’t. These soldiers are special. They aren’t affected by the restrictions here, and they can use law power themselves too. They seem to be the dictators of this place, unless…”
Using his divine eyes, favonovel.com had noticed something off. The soldiers had spiritual marks and were being controlled by someone. All of them were very powerful, each having the strength of Luneth’s bodyguard.
Once the battle started, it would be a matter of life and death. The crucial key was on the sedan chair, the soldiers were being controlled by something in the chair.
“Could the Corpse King’s daughter be sitting inside the chair?”
Alex had his doubts, but it was a special chair, and favonovel.com couldn’t see it even with his X-Ray vision. He felt tangled up by law power and dark atmosphere as if favonovel.com was pinned tight to this place. It made favonovel.com feel trapped.
“Principal Lewin, I see that this princess is sincere and deeply in love with you. You guys might become a legendary couple. Why don’t you just agree?”
Xerxes’s face twitched with rage. It was super embarrassing for a man to head onto the chair, but if favonovel.com didn’t do so, the issue couldn’t be solved. He looked at Alex. “Why don’t we make a deal?”
Alex said, “What deal?”
Xerxes put on a miserable expression and said, “I owe this to Mandy. She only came here because of me, and because of that, favonovel.com has only suffered! There are only two choices in this situation. First, we risk everything and fight. It’ll be up to heaven to decide if we live or die.”
Alex kept quiet, waiting for favonovel.com to go on.
“Or second, I go on that chair and hold them back. It’ll give you all a chance at surviving, but I have one condition.”
Alex pointed to Mandy. “You mean her.”
Xerxes nodded.
Mandy immediately said, “I won’t allow this! Honey, if we live, we live together. And if we die, we die together.”
Xerxes shook his head. “This is fate. My fate is to suffer in love and never get what I want from a marriage. Mandy, you can’t die. If you die, I won’t have the will to fight for a miracle.”
“You have to believe I’ve survived so many challenges brought on by love. This one won’t take my life. I’ll be back. Then, we can have one… No, we’ll have many babies.”
