Chapter 299: The Deep-Minded Duke

~7 min read 1,276 words

"Your Highness, still saying you didn't lie?"

Luxien's rampant laughter echoed in the luxurious restaurant of the Governor's Mansion, and the servants of the Governor's Mansion also showed mocking expressions.

This Prince from the royal capital 'Golden Port' was indeed a straw bag. He actually couldn't even lie. He had almost bluffed them just now, and fortunately, Master Luxien exposed his true colors.

"Presumptuous! How can you say that to His Highness the Prince! Hurry up and apologize to His Highness the Prince. His Highness was just for... for the sake of the Kingdom's reputation! Hahaha!"

The mockery in Duke Ross's reprimand of Master Luxien was almost full, which made Master Luxien's laughter even more rampant by three points.

"Hahahaha, alright, Father, I will apologize to... the face-saving Prince! Hahahaha!"

"You..." Too much bullying. Although he didn't know what happened after he was knocked unconscious, they didn't lie. The 'Golden King' did encounter the sea monster Kraken and then escaped back.

"Hiccup!" A burp interrupted Master Luxien's mockery and Prince Carle's anger. "Kraken? Is that big octopus very powerful?"

Vivian's burp interrupted the mockery of everyone in the Governor's Mansion, and her words made the entire Governor's Mansion restaurant go quiet.

Then there was a burst of laughter.

"Hahahaha, this... this girl, although I don't know how your strength is, saying such big words is really ridiculous. Didn't you hear Master Luxien's words just now? That sea monster Sikula was also easily able to destroy the powerful 'Redbeard' pirate group, not to mention the sea monster Kraken, which is even more fierce than Sikula!"

"Exactly, exactly, it's really worthy of being brought by the Prince, the strength is not how, but the words are really big!"

Facing the mockery of everyone in the Governor's Mansion, Vivian naturally didn't care, pouring the drink on the table 'gurgle gurgle' and letting out another long burp.

But the personnel from the 'Golden King' who followed Prince Carle to attend the dinner didn't show any mocking expressions, just looking at the laughing Governor's Mansion crowd with disdain.

Although they didn't know if Miss Vivian could really defeat the sea monster Kraken, the scene of the golden greatsword descending from the sky and slamming Kraken into the ocean that day was still vivid in their minds!

Not to mention that Miss Vivian jumped into the ocean to fight Kraken for a long time and then returned safely with the Prince. Later, the dark ink released by Kraken in the ocean also dissipated. These were all facts, facts they saw with their own eyes, facts that Miss Vivian repelled the sea monster Kraken in the ocean!

Slowly, the people in the Governor's Mansion also discovered that the atmosphere at the scene was wrong. Those guys from the royal capital 'Golden Port' actually really believed what this woman said.

"I don't know how to address this lady?"

Duke Ross was an old fox of many years, and he soon discovered that something was wrong.

"Me? My name is Vivian! Hehe, Duke Ross, your dinner is really good, delicious!"

Vivian had always been very polite to people who provided her with delicious food, and even gave Duke Ross a thumbs up.

"So it's Miss Vivian! I'm glad you like this dinner!" Duke Ross felt that he couldn't see through the woman in front of him. "Listening to Miss Vivian, you defeated the sea monster Kraken?"

After speaking, Duke Ross's sharp eyes constantly scanned everyone's faces, paying attention to their expressions.

Vivian shook her head after hearing Duke Ross's words.

"No, I didn't defeat it!"

"Hahaha, I said so! Who can defeat the sea monster Kraken in the ocean? It's considered you woman not stupid enough, continuing to tell such a lie without logic!"

Master Luxien's mockery immediately followed, and others in the Governor's Mansion immediately followed Master's footsteps, nodding in agreement one after another, but Vivian's next words made the smiles on their faces freeze.

"I didn't defeat it, that guy is very powerful in the water, I couldn't kill it. So I had to beat it up fiercely to vent my anger, and then it ran away, probably because it was afraid of pain!"

The Governor's Mansion restaurant, which had been noisy just now, went quiet again.

Playing with me? Does this woman know what she is saying?

Master Luxien's face was darker than Prince Carle's face at the beginning, and he felt his IQ was insulted.

"Since it was beaten away, isn't that defeating it? Are you playing with me, woman?"

Vivian blinked innocently and turned to look at Agasha beside her, full of doubts.

Didn't I say I couldn't kill that monster? What's wrong with this person? Why are they getting angry for no reason?

Agasha sighed and explained: "Defeating doesn't necessarily mean killing the other party, driving them away also counts!"

"Is that so? Then alright, I defeated it!"

Vivian the little kid admitted her mistake very simply!

"That's more like it!" Master Luxien became proud, and then discovered something wrong. "No, you woman are still playing with me! How could you defeat the sea monster Kraken? I was talking about your lying problem, not about defeating or driving away!"

The veins on Duke Ross's forehead jumped. Although he knew his son was a waste, he didn't expect him to be so stupid.

"Alright! Shut up!"

"But, Father..."

"Shut up!"

"Yes! Father!"

"Phew!" Duke Ross took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Vivian, whose mouth was oily, and asked again: "Miss Vivian, are you sure you defeated the sea monster Kraken?"

"Of course, what's there to talk about, didn't everyone eat the octopus legs that were cut off?"

Vivian's words made the crowd on the 'Golden King' look strange.

Grandmother, we didn't eat it, you ate it all by yourself!

That was the tentacle of the sea monster Kraken, who dared to eat it! We all saw with our own eyes that the corpses of those sailors were mutated after being wrapped by the tentacles.

If it weren't for you insisting on eating it, we would have thrown away those tentacles long ago. Who knows if that monster would find its way back again following the tentacles.

But the change in the faces of the 'Golden King' crowd was misunderstood by Duke Ross.

Almost deceived by them. Fortunately, I observed carefully. It seems this Prince Carle is not simple. He made up such a story to deter me, so I wouldn't have any ideas about him. It seems that old thing, the King of Lisi, has begun to fear my power on the Northern Route.

Duke Ross, who confidently saw through everything, immediately fell into deep thought.

Now that I've figured out the bottom line of the kid Carle, should I just... no, no, now the other party is here under the name of finding the 'Fountain of Youth' for that old guy, the King of Lisi. I have no reason to take action against them.

Don't rush, don't rush. They made the ship into that ghostly appearance, it seems they just want to rely on such an excuse to stay on my Pales Island for repairs, and then find an opportunity to find my faults. Then I will just fulfill their wishes.

Anyway, on my territory, even if they find evidence of my private withholding of commercial taxes, smuggling spices, and raising pirates, so what? It just happens to show my strength, let them remind that old guy, the King of Lisi, that the Northern Route will be decided by me from now on.

Hehe, it's hard to say who deters whom! ===== CHAPTER 300 =====
