Kill me? Nolan Lorian, have you lost your mind?\" Aldrian asked, his voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I look like I'm joking?\" Nolan pointed at his own face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrian was left speechless. Nolan didn't look like he was joking at all. That meant he was serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and tell me. Otherwise…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan grinned, then pulled out a dagger that seemed to appear out of nowhere, twirling it casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrian's eyes widened as an overwhelming sense of fear washed over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Nolan wasn't messing around this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth, Aldrian shouted, \"Hurry up and come out and save me, Void Reaver Disc!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk... You're truly pathetic, Aldrian. I don't know whether choosing you was a mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice as soft as silk echoed from all directions. Suddenly, a ray of black light burst from Aldrian's forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light hovered in front of him before transforming into a disc with a handle at its center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its rim was extremely sharp, slightly serrated. If it struck someone's neck, they would surely die on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a woman in avatar form materialized from the disc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was as beautiful as the full moon. Her black hair was styled half-up and half-down, with several braided strands that suited her perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small mole beneath her right eye made her look captivating with just a single blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gorgeous figure was draped in a sheer gown resembling a cheongsam from an Eastern country in Nolan's former world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman stared at Nolan with a cold gaze and said, \"Don't kill him. Instead, I'll give you anything you want, including strength and power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing her words, Aldrian felt both annoyed and dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing!? Why are you offering him power instead!? Kill him now!\" he shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan was about to kill him, yet this woman offered a reward just to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Aldrian, it felt like an insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the woman didn't respond. She simply stared calmly at Nolan, as if waiting for his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's your reason for making that offer?\" Nolan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He twirled his dagger and looked at her with a playful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that you like me?\" he teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman fell silent. Suppressing her frustration, she replied honestly, \"No. It's nothing like that. I just find you intriguing, Nolan Lorian. Inside you… I sense something special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words weren't nonsense. Nolan's body seemed shrouded in a black mist that even she couldn't see through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone convinced her Nolan wasn't an ordinary prince. He had to be hiding something extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid the worst-case scenario, she had no intention of acting recklessly toward someone she didn't fully understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're quite clever,\" Nolan said, clapping his hands. \"What's your name? Are you the artifact spirit of the Void Reaver Disc?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman narrowed her eyes. It felt as if Nolan were staring straight into her soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she pushed aside the uncomfortable feeling and replied calmly, \"My name is Obsidia. And yes, I am the artifact spirit of the Void Reaver Disc.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan gave a small nod and crossed his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your offer is tempting, Obsidia. Unfortunately, I can't accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Aldrian with indifference. \"This man must die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The killing intent behind his words was suffocating. Aldrian felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, and his breath caught in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obsidia frowned. \"Must it really come to this? Isn't there a saying that friendship is better than enmity? Think carefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hidden threat lingered behind her calm tone, but Nolan didn't seem afraid at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That proverb is true. But Aldrian has angered me again and again. So yeah, he has to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obsidia was impressed by his stubbornness, yet she still tried to persuade him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this about your older sister? Fine. I'll make him give up. There will be no engagement between him and your sister. I can guarantee it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrian's eyes widened in shock as he shouted, \"What do you mean!? Seira and I are engaged!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\" Obsidia snapped angrily. \"If you weren't so obsessed with her, would things have turned out like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She truly regretted choosing Aldrian as her heir, but there was nothing she could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by staying with Aldrian could she one day return to her former peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Aldrian possessed the purest bloodline of the Lyren family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, she would have chosen Meliodas or Karakh instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan let out a small sigh and refused. \"I'm sorry, but I still can't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He narrowed his eyes slightly. \"Most of it does have to do with my sister, but that isn't the main reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Aldrian calmly and smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This concerns the stability of the Ancient Kingdom of Eron. So I can't accept your terms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With lightning speed, he thrust his dagger straight toward Aldrian's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obsidia froze for a split second. Then overwhelming rage erupted within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her fist and swung it at Nolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as her punch was about to connect, an invisible barrier appeared and blocked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave from the impact sent the furniture flying across the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Nolan had already placed a barrier around the bed where his sister lay unconscious. Otherwise, she would have slammed into the wall and been seriously injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!?\" Obsidia froze in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strike powerful enough to shatter a city wall had been stopped with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just as I thought… this man is dangerous!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every instinct screamed at her to flee immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where could she run?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body and soul were bound to Aldrian. If Aldrian died, she would die too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There's no other choice. I have to do this!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman's eyes gleamed with bright black light. At the same time, the Void Reaver Disc spun rapidly and shot toward Nolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Nolan simply smiled and punched it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow sent the disc flying. It slammed into the wall, shattering it on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It hurts! It hurts! Let go! Argh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aldrian screamed and writhed in agony. His eyes turned bloodshot, and saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dagger had pierced straight through his heart, yet he wasn't dead. Instead, unbearable pain surged through his entire body, as if his skin were being peeled off alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan grinned cruelly. \"It hurts, doesn't it? Hehehe… This is your payback for what you tried to do to my sister. How dare you lay a hand on my family? None of you will ever live in peace—not even in death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan was usually indifferent to the world around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if anyone dared to harm the people he cared about, they'd better be prepared to face the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh…\" Aldrian coughed up blood and tried to pull the dagger from his chest, but he couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan's strike was too strong. He had no strength left to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Am I going to die?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair filled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you, Nolan Lorian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-05-30T06:57:32.241Z","2026-06-01T04:30:35.482Z",1,"novelbin.me","315dfc5d212fb41b875f3d9635d0b7deab6927fe5725b8387acf48e3bc222b4b","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-657","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-655",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-cover.jpg"]
