Chapter 130 The Incompetent Third Prince

Sigourney withdrew her gaze from Chu Sheng and looked directly at Mrs. Mira.

"Lord Mira," her voice was icy, "is this the kind of taste you have when it comes to men?"

"Your Highness, Princess," Lady Mira snorted, clearly not intending to give her any face, "My choice of husband is an internal affair of the Whitehorse family and also a matter of self-governance for Pegasus Territory. No matter how far the imperial family's reach is, it cannot penetrate my bedroom."

Sigourney was clearly not buying it, and she took a step forward.

With just one step, Chu Sheng felt the entire city wall tremble slightly.

The two rows of imperial knights at the city gate lowered their heads simultaneously, placing their right hands on their left chests, their armor clanging together with a crisp metallic sound.

Sigourney raised her head, her dark golden eyes staring indifferently at Mrs. Mira.

I'm giving you two choices.

Sigourney held up two fingers.

"First, open the city gates and let the Third Prince and me in. I guarantee, in the name of the Second Princess of the Empire, that we will not initiate hostilities within the city, and that all discussions will be conducted in accordance with imperial law and the rules of Tianma Territory."

She tucked one finger away.

"Secondly, I'll break through. Mira, you're a smart woman; you should know this wall won't stop me. I don't want to strain relations between the Imperial Family and Pegasus Territory too much, but if you insist on offending the Imperial Family for the sake of some nobody—"

She didn't finish her sentence.

The soldiers guarding the city walls had sweaty palms as they gripped their spears, but none of them dared to move.

Mrs. Mira remained silent, and Chu Sheng could tell she was weighing her options.

Although Chu Sheng didn't quite know who this Sigourney Virgil was, he was certain she wasn't some useless sycophant like the Third Prince.

Mira.

Chu Sheng reached out and gently grasped Lady Mira's wrist, lowering his voice: "Don't get carried away. The city gates are open, so be it. I told you I had a way."

Mrs. Mira glanced down at him.

"Aren't you afraid?" she asked in a low voice.

"What are you afraid of? Does she dare to eat me in front of you?" Chu Sheng smiled. "Besides, you're not the only one who can fight me."

As he said this, he glanced at the inside of the city gate out of the corner of his eye.

There stood a tall, slender figure with platinum-gold hair.

Amber had emerged from the carriage sometime earlier. She stood in the shadows of the city gate passageway, her hands clasped in front of her lower abdomen, her posture as dignified as a goddess statue carved from white jade.

The morning breeze blew her platinum dress, outlining her mature and voluptuous figure.

Mrs. Mira followed Chu Sheng's gaze and glanced at Amber.

"Heh." She turned around and waved towards the city below. "Open the city gates."

The gates of Whitewing City are the most fortified in the northern border of the empire, constructed of three layers of ironwood sandwiched with two layers of steel plates. As the city's defenders turned the winches, the massive gates emitted a deep rumble and slowly opened to both sides.

At the city gate, the Third Prince's eyes widened, and his face flushed with surprise.

"Mira!" he shouted towards the city wall, "I knew you wouldn't be so heartless! I knew it!"

Siguni ignored her shameful brother and gestured to the two rows of knights behind her. The caravan then slowly made its way toward the city gate.

Chu Sheng watched this scene from the city wall and noticed that the two rows of knights dared not get too close to Siguni, always keeping a distance of ten paces behind her.

Their steps were synchronized, but there was a hint of tension in everyone's eyes.

Then he saw the Third Prince jogging behind Siguni, looking up at the city wall as he ran, his gaze falling on Chu Sheng.

His eyes were full of hostility.

Chu Sheng couldn't help but give him a harmless smile.

A hint of humiliation flashed across the Third Prince's face, as if he wanted to say something, but Siguni suppressed it with a look.

He lowered his head and quickened his pace to catch up with his sister.

Just as Siguni was about to step through the city gate, a gentle voice came from the depths of the passageway.

"Your Highness the Second Queen."

Everyone stopped.

Amber emerged from the shadows of the passageway, looked up at Sigourney, who was a little taller than her.

"I've heard so much about you," she said.

Sigourney looked slightly surprised; she had seen the portrait of this veteran in the Imperial archives.

"Your Majesty Ambermind," Sigourney nodded slightly, "what brings you here?"

"I'm traveling with my servant," she said softly, her gaze falling on the boy who was peering down from the city wall. "Chu Sheng, come down."

Chu Sheng was taken aback, then obediently ran down from the city wall.

When he ran to Amber's side, Sigourney's gaze fell on him once again. This time, besides indifference, her eyes held a hint of surprise.

"Your Majesty, is this human your servant?"

Amber smiled slightly: "Not just a servant, but also my partner, a witness to the new covenant between the Gray Realm and the Royal Court."

Sigourney frowned.

Amber added softly at the end, "By the way, he is also the [Hero] of this generation."

The imperial knights at the city gate all changed their expressions.

【Brave】?

Sigourney was silent for a moment, then spoke coldly: "Him?"

"Your Highness, Princess Amber's tone turned serious. "I vouch for my servant in the name of the Elven Royal Court. But just as I do, the Elven Royal Court will not stand idly by if anyone uses the name of the Imperial Family to harm him."

It's no secret that Ambermind is now the only pure-blooded member of the Elven Royal Court, but its name remains an undeniable presence across the continent.

Moreover, Ambermind herself has lived for over a thousand years, and her seniority is frighteningly high no matter where she is.

Even Virgil III had to address her respectfully as "Your Majesty".

No matter how arrogant Siguni was, she wouldn't dare to contradict the Elf Queen on the spot.

"That's enough," Sigourney said, turning her gaze back to Mrs. Mira. "I don't want to complicate things further regarding our trip into the city. However—"

"The Third Prince is of noble status and it is not appropriate for him to be in the same room as an unknown person. I will leave a team of guards stationed for him outside the city, so he will not enter the city."

Chu Sheng almost burst out laughing.

What does it mean to "not be in the same room with an unknown person"?

Isn't this just to prevent the Third Prince from having a mental breakdown if he sees him and Lady Mira together all the time?

The third prince, however, failed to grasp his sister's good intentions and protested loudly, "Sister! I want to enter the city! I've waited fourteen years, and I've finally been able to enter Whitewing City, why—"

"Shut up."

Siguni didn't even turn around to look at him; the Third Prince remained silent like a chicken with its neck being choked.

The Third Prince stood outside the city gate, watching Sigourney, Lady Mira, Ambermind, and Chu Sheng enter the city gate one by one.

He stared intently at the thin boy.

The young man walked between three women. To his left was the Elf Queen, to his right the Lord of Pegasus Territory, and in front of him was the Second Princess of the Empire.

All three women were stunning beauties who could stand out in a crowd and be unforgettable at first glance, yet the young man was able to walk among them.
