Chapter 298: Your Highness, still saying you didn't lie?

~7 min read 1,222 words

Nephew?

Prince Carle's face darkened by another three points, and the 【Astrologer】 Adelian beside him was so angry that his white beard was shaking.

Only Vivian couldn't hold back, and she laughed out loud along with him.

"Hahahaha, Carle, it turns out this Duke Ross is your relative!"

Dinner was finally saved!

Vivian stepped forward quickly and, amidst everyone's dumbfoundedness, hugged the middle-aged man who came out to greet them.

The man was tall and sturdy, with cold and hard eyes and graying temples. Although he still looked majestic and domineering, the deep dark circles and the belly that bulged like a three-month pregnancy made his domineering aura leak out a bit. Fortunately, the blue and gold general's uniform added points to him.

This was a rich and powerful man.

Governor Ross had dominated the Pales Archipelago, the main route of the Northern Route, for many years. In this piece of ocean, it was no exaggeration to say he was a local emperor. But in name, Governor Ross was still the governor of the Kingdom of Lisi, and His Majesty the King of Lisi had the right to revoke General Ross's governor position.

After all, this was his own territory. Duke Ross intended to coax this Prince Carle and then send him away.

But he still had to show his domineering aura, and he had to let this little brat know his weight.

Unfortunately, Duke Ross's attempt to gain the upper hand was interrupted by an accident.

Amidst everyone's dumbfoundedness, a tall and beautiful figure put her hand on Governor Ross's shoulder and began her performance.

"You must be Duke Ross! Hahaha, it turns out you are a relative of that guy Carle! We are all our own people!" Vivian laughed loudly while patting Duke Ross's shoulder. Such a bold move made the Governor's Mansion servants who were originally prepared to step forward and stop her stop their mouths. It turned out to be the General's relative!

"You... who are you?"

Governor Ross was a bit dazed. For so many years, no one had dared to talk to him like this. This woman was so beautiful and came with that little Prince Carle. What exactly was her identity?

"Me? Oh, I'm Vivian, but that's not important! Ross, what's for dinner?"

Vivian?

Ross?

Who is Vivian? Which noble family of the Kingdom of Lisi?

Who is Ross? Oh, oh, oh, Ross is me. It's been many years since anyone dared to call me by my name directly.

"Dinner... hey... hey..."

Duke Ross hadn't finished speaking before he was pulled away by Vivian.

"Let's go, let's go, I'll just go see it directly! Where is the restaurant? Where is it!"

The 'Golden King' group stood blankly in place.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

The servants of the Governor's Mansion hurriedly chased after the hijacked Duke, "Your Highness, the Duke is dining!", and then they heard the 'clanging' sound coming from the restaurant direction.

Duke Ross was pulled away by Vivian in a daze, with only one question left in his heart—still trying to gain the upper hand, where is my horse?

Vivian didn't care at all about the panic brought to the servants of the Governor's Mansion by her disrupting the dining time, hugging a roasted pheasant and gnawing until it was sizzling with oil.

Everyone on the 'Golden King' had seen Miss Vivian's eating style, so naturally, there was no surprise, but the people in the Governor's Mansion had never seen any noble lady use the action of 'gnawing' to eat.

Prince Carle, who was eating elegantly at the dining table, had no intention of blaming Miss Vivian. It seems this Miss Vivian—her identity is not simple!

"Nephew Carle... Your Highness! This time going to sea, I don't know what you encountered. I heard people say the 'Golden King' was severely damaged!"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Grace! We were very unfortunate to encounter a storm this time, and we also encountered the legendary sea monster. But fortunately, the Sea God blessed us, we survived the storm, and repelled the sea monster!"

"Sea monster?"

Encountering a storm on the ocean is not a very strange thing; after all, the name of this ocean is the 'Storm Sea'.

However, encountering a sea monster is not a common event. In fact, most sailors have never seen this legendary monster after mixing on the ocean for a lifetime.

"Yes, Your Grace! According to the confirmation of Master Adelian, this sea monster is Kraken, the overlord of the Undersea Black Forest!"

"Sea monster Kraken!"

The sound of gasping for air rose and fell in the Governor's Mansion restaurant.

No one on the ocean is a match for the sea monster Kraken. The only reason one can survive encountering this monster is that it is full and bored!

According to the description of sailors who survived encountering the sea monster Kraken, it is a giant octopus monster with a body even larger than the largest sea ship. Its countless tentacles can overturn any ship. Legend has it that humans swallowed by its abyss-like giant mouth cannot even escape their souls.

"Your Highness, forgive my presumption! As a noble, lying is not only not a good habit, but also violates the way of knighthood, even if it is for the sake of face!"

In the quiet restaurant, except for the sound of Vivian eating and drinking, a 'pfft' laugh broke everyone's shock.

Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, the speaker picked up the crystal cup on the table and stood up elegantly.

"You say, am I right? Prince Carle!"

Carle's brows immediately stood up, but strict upbringing still made him suppress his anger. After taking a deep breath, Carle calmed down.

"Your Grace, does Master Luxien mean... I lied?"

Duke Ross, who had recovered from the shocking news, had his mouth slightly raised. Young people still have active brains. I was almost deceived by this kid Carle just now. Is this—trying to gain the upper hand over me? With such an unreliable lie?

Seeing Duke Ross smiling without speaking, Carle knew the Pales Governor's meaning.

"Isn't it? Respected Prince, you just said you encountered the sea monster Kraken and then came back alive? Still came back alive with the ship? Hahaha, Prince, I'll tell you a story, do you want to listen?"

Carle held down the old astrologer beside him who was about to jump up, smiling and nodding.

"Alright! Then please tell it, Master Luxien!"

"Hehe, the two major pirate groups that once dominated the Storm Sea were the 'Blackbeard' pirate group and the 'Redbeard' pirate group. They all disappeared in the same year."

"'Blackbeard' pirate group was pursued and annihilated by my father leading the team to the Extreme North. Does Your Highness know how the 'Redbeard' pirate group disappeared?"

"I'm listening!"

"Humph! According to the scattered pirates who escaped from the 'Redbeard' pirate group, they encountered the sea monster Sikula. That monster with six heads and twelve feet only used half an hour to make the 'Redbeard' pirate group disappear from the ocean forever."

"And legend has it that Sikula is just one of Kraken's ingredients! Such a sea monster... Prince actually defeated it with one ship? Hahahahaha! Your Highness, still saying you didn't lie?" ===== CHAPTER 299 =====
