Chapter 584 is not for you

Yu Xia stopped one meter in front of Raphael.

The golden vines were still aimed at her forehead, their tips emitting a faint golden light, as if they might pierce through her forehead at any moment.

Everyone at the banquet stared intently at the two of them, holding their breath for the sea princess.

The sea creatures were all on high alert, ready to attack at any cost if Raphael or anyone else made a move against their princess.

Yu Xia and Raphael looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

The people of the Holy City were somewhat apprehensive about her approach.

Although they and the sea creatures are mortal enemies, they must work together to fight the polluted zone, and other grudges must be put aside for the time being.

But they had heard of the princess's temper and witnessed her abilities in the arena, so they were now worried that she might fight Raphael.

The Ivy and the others exchanged glances, and Yun Sha broke the silence first, "Raphael, put your spiritual body away first."

Margaret also said to Yu Xia, "Your Highness, it was your people who were rude first. You should discipline your people properly."

Yu Xia asked, "How was he rude?"

This was originally just a normal inquiry, but Ivy and the others, based on their preconceived notions about her personality and behavior, thought that her words were a provocation.

Moni said coldly, "He came up here and was disrespectful to our elders, calling them elders."

Before he could finish speaking, Moni realized something, glanced at the elder secretly, and stopped talking.

Yu Xia saw the look in his eyes and realized that Metis had spoken to Margaret first.

Yu Xia mentally rubbed her forehead. She had told him to look for Yun Sha, but he had gone to the wrong person. Margaret was the most difficult person to talk to, and he probably said something that displeased her. He deserved to be beaten.

"Let's leave it at that for today," Yunsha said, trying to smooth things over. "I hope Your Highness will manage your subordinates well in the future and avoid creating more unnecessary grudges at this critical juncture."

Yun Sha spoke in a calm tone, trying her best to soothe the princess's anger.

The other Ivi were somewhat indignant after hearing Yun Sha's words. It was clearly the sea creatures who provoked them first, so why should they just let it go like this?
Margaret frowned and said, "This is not a proper way to handle it."

Yu Xia was waiting for her to say this: "Indeed, our sea tribe was at fault and should apologize."

After saying that, she looked at Raphael again.

His golden vines remained in an attacking stance, and his gaze towards her remained unchanged, indifferent as if he were looking at a stranger.

The Ivi were somewhat surprised to hear her words. They did not want to let the sea creatures off so easily, but they did not expect the sea creature princess to admit her mistake so readily, which was quite different from the sea creatures they had in mind.

Yun Sha couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, scrutinizing her closely.

Before Yun Sha could speak, Margaret spoke first: "Since Your Highness knows she was wrong and has apologized, this matter is over. But if there is a next time, we will not be so lenient."

After Margaret finished speaking, everyone in the banquet hall looked surprised. Most of the people present were high-ranking members of their respective factions who had a lot of contact with the Holy City and knew each of Ivi's personalities very well.

The most untouchable people in the Holy City, besides Raphael, are Margaret. She is extremely strict and rigid. Not to mention the mortal enemy, the sea tribe, even the Dragon family, which is closest to the Holy City, behave properly in front of her. If they make any mistakes, she will punish them severely without mercy.

But she easily let bygones be bygones with the sea creatures.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder if it was because the Holy City was not as powerful as before, so it dared not confront the Sea Clan? But if that were the case, they wouldn't have clashed with Metis just now.

Although the crowd was puzzled, they inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they were not able to completely relax.

Raphael spoke—

"You think you can get away with it by just apologizing after causing trouble? Who taught you that?"

With a single sentence, the whispers in the hall were silenced once more, and deathly silence returned.

"What do you want?" Metis's voice rang out behind Yu Xia. "Either let's fight, or let's skip this."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Xia turned around and glared at him, "Shut up."

Metis crossed his arms and looked at her, swallowing his words.

Although he didn't handle things well, the feud between the sea tribe and the Holy City didn't have much reason to clash. Even if he didn't say anything and just went up to the people of the Holy City, they would already see it as a provocation.

But he had a rough idea of ​​Potti's purpose: to maintain a temporary peace with the Holy City, or even form an alliance. So he had no choice but to hold back. Otherwise, as usual, he would have already tied all these people from the Holy City together. He didn't care what precious Ivi they were.

The feud between the sea tribes and the holy city is that simple: it's either you die or I live.

“It’s my fault for not managing my people well,” Yu Xia said to Raphael. “I will express my apologies to the Holy City, Lord Raphael.”

Raphael gazed into her eyes, his expression unreadable, and said calmly, "Then you'd better not disappoint me."

Yu Xia's lips curled slightly, a forced smile: "I will definitely satisfy everyone."

"Whether you're satisfied or not isn't up to you." Raphael slowly withdrew the golden vine pointing at Yu Xia's forehead. "Remember to show your sincerity, Your Highness."

After saying that, he led the people of the Holy City away from the banquet.

As soon as they left, the broken wine glasses and other debris on the ground were quickly cleaned up, and the banquet hall returned to its lively atmosphere.

Before Yu Xia could take her eyes off them, she was pulled into a tight embrace by Metis, who strode up from behind.

"Let go." Yu Xia pried Metis's hand away and whispered, "Behave yourself in public."

Metis nestled against her neck, not letting go. "Don't do things like that again."

Yu Xia paused, realizing he was referring to helping him fend off Raphael's spiritual entity.

She said, "I know he won't really hurt me, it's not for you."

Metis: "I don't believe it. We've fought Raphael before, and he's not one to hold back. Next time, don't block like that. It's no big deal if I get hurt, but your little body can't withstand his attacks."

Yu Xia opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Metis was pulled apart by Silver Fang Bello, who grabbed her from one side.

Metis said with displeasure, "Don't you dare lay a hand on me, or I'll string you two little fish together sooner or later."

The two ignored him and surrounded Yu Xia, their worries still etched on their faces.

"Do you know what you just did?" Silver Fang's face was a little ugly. "Don't you know who Raphael is? You stood in front of him. You are the queen of our sea tribe. It is only your family members who should protect you from harm, not you to protect them."
