You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

Elena was taken aback by what she heard, and a sense of tension rose in her heart.

From the moment they first met, this woman gave her an inexplicable sense of pressure, as if she could snatch Shilo away at any moment.

"Sister Elena, His Highness Zeno and Master have a very good relationship, it's alright."

Fuplo turned her head and nodded to Elena.

Upon hearing this, Zeno's brows relaxed slightly, and his gaze towards Fufro showed more satisfaction.

Zeno took the terminal from Elena and looked at the message Shilo left: "I'll get revenge for you." His fingers tightened slightly.

Shiloh is a sentimental person, and Zeno has always known this, so he was not at all surprised that she would take some retaliatory measures after the confession incident that morning.

But as expected... I'm still so jealous.

A hint of gloom flickered in Zeno's golden eyes, but he concealed it well.

Zeno handed the terminal back, resting his chin on his hand, and said, "I roughly know where Shilo might go."

"Where is this?!"

Elena and the others spoke in unison.

Zeno held up one finger and smiled, "The Royal Palace."

This answer was so unexpected that the three women were stunned.

"What...what is he doing at the palace?"

Aria gasped, now somewhat unsettled. Even if the Wells family had a good relationship with the royal family, if he went too far, it might...

“That guy named Hector who came to annoy you today must have made a deal with someone to come here. His elder brother, who is the next head of the Henderson family, is from the Second Prince’s faction. He has no reason to offend Shilo.”

"So it's obvious that such a childish and boring plan could only have come up with by my stupid little brother."

"His Highness the Third Prince..."

Zeno nodded and said, "In short, if you're still worried, I can take you to the palace. What do you think?"

Arya and the others exchanged glances, but ultimately couldn't stop worrying about Shilo, so they nodded and accepted Zeno's offer.

Seeing them nod in agreement, Zeno's eyes flashed with a shrewd light, and he boarded the carriage first.

"In that case, let's hurry up and go. Shiloh is always quick in his actions."

Zeno gazed at the scenery outside the window, pondering matters unknown to others.

But in any case, she finally waited until Xiluo went to the palace.

My foolish brother, it seems you really did trade "that qualification" to Hector... But Hector actually agreed to the request, just to meet "that woman," hehehe...

Zeno's lips curved slightly. She and Shiloh could be described as "birds of a feather," their tastes in the perverse were always surprisingly similar.

Just as Shiloh enjoys stealing away the goddesses cherished by simps, Zeno also enjoys watching simps desperately try to win her over, only to be left to watch helplessly as their beloved women leave with someone else—of course, it would be better if Shiloh wasn't the one stealing her away.

Thinking of this, Zeno's lips curled back down, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed together.

Xi Luo...you weren't this promiscuous before. Did you go astray after leaving home?

Fine, whatever you do, you can't act so recklessly anymore after today.

Zeno crossed his long legs, his hands clenching and tugging as if he were holding an iron chain that held something in his palm.

Elena, who had been secretly watching Zeno, felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing this, and her unease intensified.

What exactly does this woman want to do...?

At the palace gate, a carriage stopped not far away, alerting the guards.

Their vigilance was lifted only when Shiro stepped down from the carriage.

"Lord Shiloh."

The guards, dressed in gleaming silver armor, saluted with their hands on their chests and said, "His Majesty is still handling official business and instructed us that if we saw you arrive, please wait for us at the Lotus Pavilion."

Xiluo nodded, then stepped through the gate and entered the magnificent yet heavily guarded palace.

The young guard standing nearby was about to guide Shiloh, but the old guard held him back.

"Why are you worrying about this? This gentleman studied and trained with the princes more than ten years ago. He is much more familiar with the palace than you, a mere boy."

Upon hearing this, the young guard grinned and said, "Hiss—to actually receive this kind of treatment?"

"That's the Wells family, kid. Have you even bothered to read any imperial history?"

……

Upon entering the palace, the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery along the way evoked a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings) in Xiluo.

It's been about five years since I last came back here after growing up; time really flies.

When I was little, I took the little princess on a grand adventure in the palace. We went to almost every place, and one day we even stumbled upon the royal ancestral hall, for which we were severely scolded by the adults.

Recalling the playful scenes of her childhood, Xi Luo smiled slightly, feeling a pang of nostalgia for that innocent time.

But there are more important things to do now than reminiscing.

Shiloh navigated the streets with practiced ease, finally arriving at a magnificent palace where he waited quietly.

Rolling and rolling—

The sound of a unicorn carriage moving along rang out, perfectly timed.

"Ah~! School's finally over. I'm so tired. Speaking of which, Hector didn't even succeed. What a useless piece of trash, he took my precious opportunity for nothing!"

Meredith jumped out of the carriage and cursed at the guard beside him.

Ok? !

Suddenly, Meredith felt an uneasy twitch in the corner of her eye, and then caught a glimpse of a fleeting shadow out of the corner of her eye!

sieve--!

When the whooshing sound reached her ears, Meredith felt as if a giant beast had slammed into her face. Her brain was buzzing, and she could even hear the creaking of her bones!

Bang!

Blood splattered from Meredith's mouth and nose into the air, and Meredith's mind went blank for a moment. The guards in the carriage next to her stared in shock, never expecting that someone would dare to commit such a crime openly inside the palace!

But when he saw the figure of the attacker, his body, which was about to step forward to stop him, froze in place, and the shock and doubt in his heart turned into relief and headache.

Holy crap, it's this guy...

This guard not only protected Meredith, but had also protected other members of the royal family in the past, so he was naturally familiar with Shiloh.

Moreover, considering what the Third Prince had just complained about, it was obvious that he had caused trouble for Young Master Xi Luo again, which was why the other party had come knocking on his door.

Chapter 159: Left punch deals high damage, right punch deals high damage (3k)

Bang!

Bang!

Bang! !

Xi Luo gripped the Third Prince's collar tightly, like an emotionless execution machine, punching the otherwise decent-looking man repeatedly in the face, leaving him bruised and swollen, with blood splattering everywhere.

With his massive, blood-stained fist raised high, Shiloh stared at the Third Prince, who was now unconscious from being smashed, and said indifferently, "You're still the same as when you were a child, only capable of resorting to underhanded and trashy tricks, Meredith."

The indifferent voice entered Meredith's ears. To him, Shiloh's flat tone was full of arrogance and deep contempt for him, which almost immediately touched the wounds in Meredith's heart, who was already sensitive.

Meredith and Shiloh were about the same age, so they were often compared.

Of course, the result was self-evident: in every respect, he would become Xiluo's stepping stone, trampled under his feet.

That's why he always disliked Xi Luo and was always looking for ways to cause her trouble.

"Cough—"

Meredith gasped for breath, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Through his swollen facial muscles, his eyes glared fiercely at Shilo, and he mumbled incoherently, "Are you fucking insane! I am the esteemed Third Prince of the Empire! You fucking dare to lay a hand on me for a commoner! A commoner!!!"

Xi Luo narrowed his eyes, raised the hand gripping Meredith's collar slightly, and said coldly, "If you have the guts, come at me. If you try any more underhanded tricks on my women, don't blame me for being heartless."

With that, Shilo casually tossed Meredith aside, pulled down the curtain from the carriage window, and wiped the bloodstains from his fist.

Unexpectedly, Meredith, who had fallen to the ground, was almost blinded by anger. After struggling to get up, he chuckled twice in a low voice, pointed at Shilo, and said with a sinister and mocking look in his eyes: "Heh heh... That sounds nice. Someone as hypocritical as you would come looking for trouble with me for the sake of a mere commoner."

Hehehe... Hahaha—! Do you think I'm a fool?! Shiloh!!

Meredith forcefully flung his hand aside, gritting his teeth and roaring, "What do you mean 'your woman'? In the end, that Elena is just a nobody commoner, and you're just using her as a tool!"

People like you are more damn arrogant than anyone else! How could you possibly be so arrogant as to do something so lowly—”

Bang!

Before Meredith could finish speaking, Shilo, who was wiping his fist, suddenly spun around, his dark eyes flashing with a cold light, and launched another heavy blow at his side!

"Why is your mouth always so dirty, Meredith?"

The power of this punch was unrestrained, and the Third Prince, who was at the [Azure Flame Rank], could not withstand it at all, and fainted instantly.

But Shiloh clearly wasn't going to give up. He threw another punch at the other man's jaw, seemingly trying to smash his teeth completely!

Clang!

The blow did not land on the Third Prince's face. Seeing that Xi Luo was still not giving up, the guards on the side finally made their move.

The glove, covered in hard silver armor, caught Shiloh's blow, but it sank quite a bit downwards, almost touching Meredith's nose.

Cold sweat poured down the guard's forehead, and the defensive array patterns on his gauntlets shone brightly. He hadn't expected that Xi Luo's pure strength alone would reach such a terrifying level, even forcing out the armor's defensive capabilities.

thump

The guard knelt on one knee, supporting Xi Luo's fist, and bowed his head, saying, "Young Master Xi Luo, that's enough. I'm sure His Highness the Third Prince has fully realized his mistake."

Xi Luo looked down at him from his high position, and after a moment, let out a soft laugh and released the pressure on his hands.

"Ah, I hope so."

After leaving those words, Xi Luo turned and left, heading towards the Lotus Pavilion.

Watching Xi Luo's departing figure, the guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself that young master Xi Luo's strength was actually so great that it was even stronger than that of the orcs, who were known for their strength.

Isn't he a magician?

Rubbing his aching wrist, the guard glanced at the Third Prince, whose face was swollen and bloody from the beating, shook his head, lifted him up, and quickly headed to the imperial physician's office to treat him.

The news of what happened here would soon reach His Majesty's ears, but the guards were not worried. After all, the person they were fighting was Shilo, and he was not using any supernatural powers; he was simply "fighting" with his strength.

Furthermore, he prevented the most likely mistake from occurring, which can be considered as fulfilling his duty.

The guard glanced at the unconscious Meredith and shook his head again.

Among the six princes and princesses, it would be difficult to say who is the most outstanding, but if you were to ask who is the worst, then Meredith would undoubtedly be the answer.

Not only was he rude and immature, but he also kept picking on Xi Luo. This time, he even schemed against his woman. It's safe to say that he deserved the beating.

Just as the guards were rushing on their way, out of his sight, a black light suddenly flashed across the eyelids of the unconscious Meredith. Then, his swollen eyes opened a tiny slit, and he coldly looked in the direction where Shilo had left.

Those eyes were completely unrecognizable as Meredith's own; they were filled with coldness, evil, hatred... a complete collection of all negative emotions.

But the next moment, as the black light dissipated, the clear stupidity returned to those eyes, and then Meredith fell into a coma again, as if everything just now was just a fleeting illusion.

【Lotus Pavilion】.

After beating up Meredith, Shiloh went straight to the place where he was to meet his uncle, the emperor.

Meredith was right about one thing: Shiloh's beating of him in the palace this time was not only to avenge Elena, but also to make a statement.

By having the younger generation fight, they express that they see the royal family as one family, not as a superior-subordinate relationship, and that's why they use such violent means to resolve conflicts.

This also reassured His Majesty, letting him know that he had not taken the annulment of the engagement to heart at all.

Regardless of what happened before, at least now that things have gone back and forth, we're even.

Stepping into the elegant and refreshing courtyard, not far away, in a pavilion standing above the lotus pond, a majestic figure dressed in a golden imperial robe is leisurely brewing tea.

Upon seeing this, Xi Luo immediately quickened his pace, jogging into the pavilion and greeting him with a smile: "Uncle Rodel, it's been a long time. You are still as dashing and imposing as ever."

Rodel Lorsa, the name of the current emperor of the Odrecia Empire.

"Hehe, you're still as good with words as ever."

Before ascending the throne, Rodel was a general who charged into battle on the front lines, and he was naturally very pleased to hear Shiloh's praise.

"Come, come, sit down."

Rodel gestured for Shiloh to sit down and then poured him a cup of tea.
