Mage Veigar

Chapter 296 Princess Xiya
First a statement is needed.

Vega is not the kind of person who can't move when seeing a beautiful woman.

Although Princess Xia is beautiful, especially her pair of ears that are exactly the same as those in fantasy novels and the elves, which are extremely attractive to men, Vega is focusing on Princess Xia's breasts.

To be precise.

It should be a pendant in front of the chest.

The pendant is in the shape of a sapphire, hollow inside but flowing with blue liquid as white as the sands of the Ganges.

This liquid flows like a nebula in the sunlight. Vega doesn't know what kind of skilled craftsman can create such a pendant, but he is sure that no woman can resist its temptation.

Vega is not a woman, so there is no such thing as being seduced.

What really concerned him was the blue liquid in the pendant, because this blue liquid was the awakening potion that he had been searching for but could not get.

"It's a waste of time."

Although Vega was also amazed by this work of art, he was more concerned about its practicality.

If this pendant belonged to him, even if he had to endure the hateful gazes of women all over the world, he would smash it and take out the liquid inside to successfully advance to a lower-level professional.

Unfortunately, this is just a fantasy.

This pendant was not his, but was worn on the neck of a princess of the Holy Dynasty, whom he could not get by violence. This was the main reason why Vega stared at the pendant.

But that's it.

A tall figure stood in front of Xia.

This figure was not the king, nor was it one of the generals such as Garru, but a young man of about 20 years old. He had a handsome face that even Vega would envy, especially the fine combat uniform that further highlighted his temperament.

Although the man was extraordinarily handsome.

However, judging from his slightly pointed ears, he did not have the royal blood of the Holy Dynasty. Coupled with his unfriendly attitude, Vega guessed that he might be the princess's guard.

"General Vega, are you okay?"

Garru quickly patted Veigar's body, and then Veigar reacted.

He quickly apologized to King Saint Laurent XVIII, "I am very sorry. It is because Her Highness Xia is so beautiful that I cannot help but be fascinated by her. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Bold."

Without waiting for the king to speak, the man stepped forward and said, "Your Highness's beauty is not worth judging by a mere lieutenant general like you. I think you don't take our sacred dynasty seriously."

"Your Majesty is wronged."

Vega said calmly, "I am a soldier, so I am used to speaking directly. I am just expressing my thoughts. If I have offended Her Highness, I am willing to accept the punishment."

The princess, who was blocked behind the handsome man, poked her head out.

She looked at Veigar with curiosity but did not speak. However, she took the opportunity to pull the king's sleeve, then shook her head and whispered a few words into the king's ear.

"Hahaha."

The king smiled happily.

Then he waved to Ying Junnan and said, "Carol, please leave. Xia has already forgiven General Vega. I believe that General Vega has no ill intentions. He just speaks more bluntly."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Vega thanked him quickly, but took the opportunity to wink at Princess Shia to show his gratitude.

Vega has studied interpersonal relationships in depth. The way to get to know someone quickly is to create intersections or leave an impression on the other person.

Based on the fact that no one dared to say such bold words in front of the king, Vega not only left a deep impression on Princess Shia through this small action, but also could start a conversation about thanking Princess Shia for her forgiveness the next time they met outside, make friends, and then discuss the awakening potion. All of this went according to the scenario Vega had predicted in advance.

The only unexpected factor is——

Carol.

This handsome guy, 1.80 meters tall, actually came out without permission to disrupt the situation.

This guy named Carol has left a deep impression on Vega. This is certainly not a friendly impression, because Vega keenly discovered that the other party is a powerful professional and a shadow mage.

Why are you so sure?

Because the opponent was holding a cross sword in his hand, half of the spellcasting medium was exposed at his collar.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Vega did sense a hint of danger. This was an intuition that only people who had been on the battlefield for a long time could have.

----

The cursory meeting ended.

That evening, the king held a banquet in the city lord's palace to celebrate the success of the plan. At the same time, he announced the next retreat plan and the revival plan after arriving in the west, using this simple method of painting a pie in the sky to stabilize the morale of the army.

Of course, Vega was also invited to the scene.

He originally planned to take this opportunity to get closer to Princess Xia, improve their relationship, and see if there was a chance to obtain the pendant. Even if he couldn't get it, he could still find out some information about the awakening potion.

You know, even he knew the rumor that the royal family of the Holy Dynasty had the awakening potion in their hands.

But to Vega's regret, he only said a polite word to Princess Xia during the whole process, and there was no chance for any interaction between them. Because Princess Xia was the center of the whole banquet, he had no chance to speak at all.

Plus, he was just a small brigadier general.

If it weren't for his identity as an imperial general and the first credit for this plan, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to speak to the king. If he wanted to be truly on an equal footing with the king and the princess, he would have to be at the level of a five-star admiral.

Of course, this time the imperial representatives, the 4th Division Commander Garru and the 1st Division Commander Mali, are not included.

Attending the banquet is not without benefits.

At least Vega knew that the somewhat shy little princess was the granddaughter of King Saint Laurent XVIII, the crown prince of the Holy Dynasty, and the future Queen.

This is what Vega was curious about.

According to the information he had gathered, the princess's father was still alive, and she had too many other princes to count on one hand. However, it was unknown why the king, as a grandfather, would give the position of future leader to a 15-year-old girl.

Besides.

Vega also got another piece of information, which was about the handsome guard Carol.

Guardian Knight.

This is Carol's title. The main responsibility is of course to protect the princess's safety. At the same time, anyone who can obtain this title means absolute loyalty to the princess and the royal family. In terms of the sequence of allegiance, the former is more important than the latter.

the most important is.

Guardian Knight Carol's teacher is the only star magician on the continent - Okasos Saint Laurent.

However, the whereabouts of this legendary star magician are currently unknown, and there are even rumors that the magician is dead. Otherwise, the United Kingdom would never dare to launch an attack on the dynasty so recklessly.

This is the information Vega learned from the banquet.

Now he was thinking about how he could interact with Her Royal Highness the Princess and get the awakening potion from her.
