Chapter 38: A Real Little Princess
Neither William nor Lautner ran away. No matter what, he was still a Prince. They were in the Blackleaf Forest, so he couldn't be weak.
Although his treatment was different from the Moonlight Elfin little princess, their identities were still similar...
They didn't have to wait too long.
Executor Arthur brought three Elfin guards over, unhappiness written all over his expression. However, he continued to say, "Her Highness invites Prince William over for some tea!"
"..."
William glanced at the awkward Arthur, not knowing what this person was jealous of. Did he not know? This Princess probably wanted to see him to cause him trouble.
As an executor, it didn't matter if he was the Princess's most trusted, he was still her knight. Did he dare to have other thoughts for her?
Didn't he know that apart from marrying the Prince, Princesses could only be stolen by evil dragons?
People like knights only needed to give their lives to protect the Princess' honor!
Spare-tire knights had existed since forever.
That was such a popular and well-known saying...
"As for this..."
"Lautner."
"Please come with me." Arthur forced out a smile, before getting his men to take William to the Princess while he personally hosted Lautner.
With that, William followed them, continued to climb the spiral stairs in the tree trunk, and walked until the highest point. The guard finally reached a hand out to him, gesturing for him to continue walking forward.
William nodded and strode out with large steps.
The moment he left the tree hole covered with magical lights, he saw a floating garden.
The fountain was flowing, birds and bugs calling and there was no wood, only soft grass and flowers under his feet.
The veins over his head linked together, blocking the majority of the hot sun. As sunlight shone in, the grass looked as if there were small specks of gold on it.
About eight meters away, a young lady with silver hair and dressed in a white long dress was sitting on the swing alone, as if she didn't know that someone had arrived.
"Luxurious... it's too much!" William didn't pay too much attention to this Princess, ridiculing the residential environment instead.
However, just as he was about to take a step forward, a soft and pleasant voice trailed into his ear. "Take off your shoes, don't spoil my grass."
It was right at this moment that William finally saw the pair of crystal high heels by the corner of the entrance. He had to admit, the female nobilities of this world all seemed to like wearing high heels. They even had stockings, which seemed too modern to be part of the world...
William did not hold back. He quickly took off his shoes and walked bare-footed behind the Princess, quietly staring at her.
William had to admit that this Moonlight Elfin little Princess was indeed a back view killer. Just looking at her back was enough to make people feel as if they were looking at a goddess.
Her slender waist looked so small, her pretty feet placed together, as they touched the flowers under them playfully and occasionally. Her silver-white long hair had already reached her waist...
"Didn't Prince William go to become a Lord at the Border Town? Why are you so free to come to Blue Moon Town?" Angela Moonlight turned around.
Angela.
The name was very common.
But the name had another meaning, angel.
Angels represented kindness, pureness, righteousness...
She had a pair of bright eyes, her eyes sparkling slightly with a tinted silver, as if they could see into a person's heart. That almost perfect, flawless face was the dreams of many people.
However...
The moment he saw that pair of...
All it took was that one moment.
All of the fantasies were broken and the sage mode was activated!
William smiled nonchalantly as he said, "Why aren't you calling me Older Brother? I remember you called me Older Brother all the time before I scared your unicorn away!"
Angela's eyes sparkled, as she tilted her head curiously as if wanting to read William's mind. However, no matter what, all she felt was that William's heart was like an unscathed lake.
"It's been a very long time since I had that sort of feeling..."Angela didn't reply to William's question as she lightly jumped off the swing. She placed her hand in the air as if touching something.
William raised an eyebrow. He had long heard about a unicorn's ability.
However, it was a pity that a unicorn's mind-reading ability could only be used against NPCs. For a fake player that had attribute statistics like him, mind-reading had no effects on him.
Especially since he wasn't interested in the little princess who was a runway at such a young age. She wasn't as good-looking as his Sia's C++...
Angela seemed to have thought of something, as she blinked her moon-like eyes, saying with a bright smile, "Why do I have you call you Older Brother? I was too young then and got fooled by you. According to our age, I'm older than you. I'm already eighteen years old this year while you're only sixteen..."
"Sixteen?" William scratched his head awkwardly. However, he was clearly very handsome, very tall and very mature. The only thing was that he wasn't sexually mature yet...
As such, he changed the topic. "Actually, I'm very curious about something. Why did you come to the Blackleaf Forest when you're still so young?"
William couldn't really understand. Based on an Elf's longevity, she could definitely wait until she was at least a hundred years old before she left home, even if it was for a marriage with the Blackleaf Elves.
"It's alright! I don't really miss home!" Angela said, shaking her head with a slight sadness.
She continued, "Besides, I can go home anytime because I have a portal linked to the Moonlight forest in my room.
"When I was younger, I couldn't fall asleep here, so I'd sneak back home in the middle of the night and come back to lay on my bed the next day. No one would know that I'd gone back.
"However, my mother had already returned to the arms of the world tree while my father fell into a deep sleep often, so he couldn't always take care of me."
"..."
William stared at Angela, slowly falling into deep thought.
Right now, he, the Prince, didn't want to talk to this Princess anymore.
Although such stories would make most people have the urge to comfort the young girl in front of them...
The saddest story was probably that they weren't blood-related. However, the inheritance of bloodline couldn't be faked...
The careful William could still tell from those few words that the Moonlight Elfin Royalty's relationship wasn't too good.
This Princess didn't mention her siblings that were older than her by a few centuries. On top of the messiness in the Moonlight forest in his previous life, it wasn't hard to guess that the Moonlight forest had fallen into a crisis.
"Angela, do you know that I accidentally found some mythril after becoming a Lord at the Border Town? Are you interested in having some?" William didn't want to continue talking nonsense with her.
His impression points with this little princess that had a unicorn didn't increase. She was even able to block his handsome endowment, so what else could he talk about?
"Mythril?" Angela widened her eyes. "How much?"
"There is 500 pounds in total!"
"Wah, is mythril found in such large quantities?" Angela seemed to be troubled. Was there that much mythril? If he had so much mythril after finding the mine, how big was the mythril mine exactly?
William patiently explained it all to her.
"That's good. I'll keep this 500 pounds of mythril, thank you Older Brother for your gift!" Angela nodded with a bright smile.
"Hm... hm?" William was a little confused, as he hurriedly explained, "Did you have some misunderstanding of why I came, my dear Princess sister?"
"Didn't you bring 500 pounds of mythril to me because you wanted to see me?" Angela raised an eyebrow, her arrogant expression looking like she was a goddess.
"Sell. I came to sell the mythril." William didn't know how many impression points he would gain from giving this 500 pounds of mythril, but he really needed the gold coins.
Angela seemed to be a little angry now, but she didn't force it. She immediately waved her hand and said, "Go look for Arthur. He'll discuss the purchase with you. William, good bye!"
"Younger sister, good bye!" William raised an eyebrow. She was such a realistic Princess. The moment she heard that he wasn't giving her the mythril, she immediately threw the address 'Older Brother' away. She might even step on that a few times.
