Chapter 290 Encounter With The Second Prince And The Ultimate Knight

Chapter 290 Encounter With The Second Prince And The Ultimate Knight

Wouldn't they be courting death if they pointed their weapons toward the first princess of the kingdom?

Even if the 6th Star Knights were well aware that in terms of political strength, the first princess was the second weakest, they still didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of her. Whether she was the weakest or not, she was still the legitimate daughter of their king!

Mistreating her was the same as not putting their eyes on the king!

And since they wanted to keep their jobs so that they could feed their families, they didn't dare offend Alisceon. They feared that they would not only lose their jobs if they did that but also be exiled from the kingdom!

With those in mind, they dare not offend Alisceon even if they knew that she was very weak in the political infighting of the Gaia Kingdom.

But that wasn't the main reason that they didn't want to offend Alisceon. The main reason was that they had noticed the presence of the deep blue-haired young mage that accompanied Alisceon.

They had heard of the rumor that Alisceon had accompanied a young mage in the Mage's Association to let him take the test of the Mage's Association.

That event caused an uproar in the royalty and nobility circles since the young mage that Alisceon had accompanied not only passed the magic test and was granted the rank of an 8th Circle Mage but he had also been recognized by the Mage's Association as the strongest mage that has ever lived.

At that time, they no longer thought of Alisceon as someone with weak political power. After all, Alisceon had the support of the strongest mage of humanity at her side!

They were only at the rank of a 6th Star Knight. They were well aware that they paled in comparison to an 8th Circle Mage, much less the Supreme Mage himself.

"Greetings, your majesty the first princess!"

Since they knew that they couldn't offend nor ignore the first princess, the 6th Star Knights that guarded the entrance greeted Alisceon.

If it was like before, they would have only allowed Alisceon to enter the royal palace without greeting her. But who told her to bring the Supreme Mage by her side?

Because of the presence of the Supreme Mage, they dare not disrespect the Supreme Mage as well as the one that the Supreme Mage supported, the first princess. 𝒇𝓻𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Alisceon gracefully nodded at the 6th Star Knights as she entered the gate of the royal palace along with Allen and his chat group members.

Alisceon was no longer acting like the cutesy and docile little sister that Allen had met when they spent their time together in her mansion. Instead, the bearings of a first princess replaced Alisceon's current persona.

Aside from Iris and Allen, the rest of the chat group members that followed Alisceon were quite stunned at her sudden change of personality. After all, they had lived with Alisceon in the same mansion so they were well aware of her true personality.

When Alisceon strolled outside the perimeter of the royal palace as she head towards the royal palace with her entourage, she noticed that one of her royal siblings, the second prince, went towards her along with his entourage.

"Oh? If it isn't the first princess. I see that you have managed to persuade the Supreme Mage himself to support you."

The second prince spoke with elegance as he assessed the entourage that his royal sibling had brought with her.

If the first prince was supported by the only 7th Circle Mage in the kingdom, then the second prince was backed by the only 8th Star Knight in the kingdom.

One could already guess that the strong man with the bearings of a general beside the second prince was none other than the 8th Star Knight. If it wasn't for his presence, the Gaia Kingdom would have already been attacked by the Zeus Kingdom.

Allen noticed that the second prince had a sword on his waist so he could already guess that the second prince was not only a swordsman, but his sword instructor was none other than the 8th Star Knight.

In other words, the second prince was able to earn the support of the 8th Star Knight by becoming the 8th Star Knight's disciple. It was the same method that the first prince used to earn the support of the 7th Circle Mage.

Not only that, the 8th Star Knight was known for possessing the title of Ultimate Knight. Only the strongest knight of humanity could possess the Ultimate Knight title. In other words, the Ultimate Knight was the complete opposite of the Supreme Mage.

As for how Allen was able to recognize that the handsome man wearing royal clothing in front of him was none other than the second prince, it was because he had received Alisceon's memory about her encounters with her royal siblings.

So Allen had obtained the memory of Alisceon encountering her royal siblings as well as having memories of how Alisceon was neglected by her family and bullied by her royal siblings.

Of course, he had only obtained those memories with Alisceon's consent. He wasn't barbaric enough to steal her memory by force without her knowledge.

Putting that aside, Allen's memory of the second prince was very vivid compared to the other royal siblings of Alisceon. Not because Alisceon was bullied because of the second prince, but because the second prince acted nice in front of Alisceon and didn't bully her.

Allen didn't know why the second prince did that until he met the second prince in person. Although the second prince managed to his intentions, the second prince couldn't hide them from Allen, who was the Supreme Order of his home world.

Allen had noticed the hidden lust within the second prince when the second prince gazed at Alisceon. In other words, the second prince lusted after Alisceon's body.

But even if the second prince lusted after Alisceon's body, Allen didn't judge him for what he had shown externally. After all, Allen also lusted after Iris' body so he was no different from the second prince.

Because of that, he needed to access the second prince's surface thoughts and his memories as well towards Alisceon. Only when he had that information could he judge the second prince's intention toward Alisceon.

With that in mind, Allen used his <Supreme Analyst> talent to increase his thought process as the time around him seemed to slow down due to his increased reaction time. Not only that, Allen used his <Supreme Time Manipulator> to slow down time to further increase the time he could use to observe the second prince.

With all those preparations, Allen used his <Supreme Mind Reader>, <Supreme Memory Reader>, and <Supreme Psychic> talents to access the second prince's memories, intentions, and feelings towards Alisceon without frying his brain from psychic overload.

The least that Allen wanted to do was to make the second prince brain-dead without knowing his intentions toward Alisceon.

In just a few nanoseconds, Allen not only was able to access all information, memories, feelings, and intentions that the second prince had towards Alisceon but also analyzed all of it in that time frame.

After that, Allen's respect towards the second prince increased.

The second prince truly loved Alisceon.

The second prince didn't just lust after Alisceon's body, but he also loved her personality as well as her presence. He loved everything about Alisceon and he did what he could in his power to support Alisceon even if he hid that it was his doings.

The main reason why there were still supporters that didn't leave Alisceon was because of the second prince's doings. Those few nobles that still supported Alisceon weren't because of Alisceon's first princess status but because they owed the second prince a favor and the second prince used that favor to ask them to repay it by supporting Alisceon.

But of course, the second prince didn't want Alisceon to know that he had supported her secretly since he was well aware that Alisceon wanted to be independent. That was why Alisceon didn't know that it was the second prince's doings that she still had supporters.

It was the second prince's commands towards those nobles that supported Alisceon to not reveal that they were supporting Alisceon because of the second prince. The nobles agreed and they instead supported Alisceon under the guise of owing Alisceon's mother a favor which was (wasn't) the reason that they supported Alisceon.

Not only that, the second prince was the reason why Alisceon even had somewhat powerful royal knights that accompanied her in her journey towards the Mystic Forest to meet the old mage of the mystic forest.

Those royal knights that accompanied Alisceon were the subordinates of the Ultimate Knight or in other words, the subordinates of the second prince's swordsman instructor.

And the reason why Alisceon wasn't killed by the old man of the mystic forest despite Alisceon's royal siblings paying the old man to kill her was because of the second prince's interference.

But even he alone wasn't enough to fend off his royal siblings so he only reconciled with killing the old butler of Alisceon in exchange for the old man of the mystic forest's assurance that he wouldn't kill Alisceon.

The second prince was indeed worthy of Allen's respect!
