Gods: Start with Goblins

After hearing this, the children of the noble families were shocked and surprised. They never expected that the princess would say such decisive words. They knew that what the princess said was not groundless. With the princess's identity and status, she was indeed capable of causing heavy damage to their noble families.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense. The children of the noble families looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The princess stood there, looking at them firmly, as if waiting for their answer.

After a long while, the senior brother slowly spoke: "Your Highness, we did not mean to offend you. It's just that this matter concerns the honor of our family and the blood feud, and we really can't just let it go. Please understand our difficulties, Your Highness."

The princess frowned after hearing this. She knew that the grievances between the noble families were not so easy to resolve. But she also knew that she could not just give up Luo Dan. So, she took a deep breath and said slowly: "This princess knows your difficulties, but Luo Dan is my savior, and this princess must protect him no matter what. This princess can ignore the grievances between your noble families, but you must not take Luo Dan away!"

One of them was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a stern face. He was obviously of high status in the aristocratic family. He was very puzzled by the princess's insistence on protecting Luo Dan. The doubts in his heart were like surging waves. He could no longer hold back and could not help but advise: "Princess, why do you insist on protecting this commoner? What virtue and ability does this man have that the princess can come forward to guarantee him? I think this man is very arrogant and never takes anyone seriously. He is a troublemaker at first glance. Princess, you must not be deceived by his superficial disguise."

The man spoke earnestly, his tone full of worry, and he was obviously really concerned about the princess, worried that she would be deceived by Luo Dan's appearance. However, his words seemed to have touched the princess's reverse scale, reminding her of the embarrassing past of her being rejected. That incident was like a deep scar engraved in her heart, and every time it was mentioned, she would feel ashamed and embarrassed.

The princess's face instantly turned red, as if she had been burned by fire. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and she slapped the armrest beside her with force, making a "pa" sound. She immediately scolded, "How dare you! When is it your turn to interfere in my affairs? It is my freedom to choose who to protect or who to abandon. What does it have to do with you? How dare you spy on my holy will? You are so bold!"

The princess' voice was high and firm, full of unquestionable majesty. She stood up, her posture upright, like an inviolable mountain, making everyone present feel a strong pressure.

The young man from the noble family who had come to remonstrate with the emperor was shocked when he saw this. He quickly knelt on the ground and said repeatedly: "Princess, please calm down. I spoke rudely. Please forgive me." His voice was trembling, and he was obviously intimidated by the princess's majesty.

However, the princess had no intention of letting him off easily. She glanced at him coldly and said, "Humph, do you think you can get away with just one slip of the tongue? I'm going to tell you today that you can't question my decision at will. Luo Dan, I'll protect you. If anyone dares to say another word, don't blame me for being rude!"

As she spoke, the princess' eyes swept over everyone present, as if she wanted to deeply engrave their appearance in her heart. Her momentum was so strong that everyone present felt an unprecedented pressure, and no one dared to raise any objections.

These noble family children looked at each other, their eyes flickering with hesitation and uneasiness. They knew the princess's majesty and power, and they also knew that the current situation was not favorable to them. However, the grudge between Luo Dan and their family was too deep, so it was hard for them to just let go.

After a moment of silence, a young man from an aristocratic family in a green shirt was the first to bow and kowtow, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness and awe: "I dare not." His action seemed to be a signal, and the other young men from aristocratic families followed suit and bowed, saying in unison: "I dare not."

The princess snorted coldly and looked at them directly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes. She had no intention of changing her mind at all, and her voice was cold and firm: "You are right, you don't dare. You don't have the status and courage to do so. You can't question my decision at will."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up, her figure as straight as a pine tree, like an inviolable goddess. Her eyes swept over everyone present, as if she wanted to deeply engrave their appearance in her heart.

"Okay, no matter what you think, no one is allowed to take Luo Dan away today." The princess' voice was high-pitched and powerful, full of unquestionable majesty. "Whoever takes him away is going against me. I don't think you want to see the consequences of going against me."

She directly used her identity and her power to pressure them. All the children of the noble families present felt a heavy pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

However, the children of aristocratic families also have their own power and pride. As children of aristocratic families, they have been strictly trained and influenced since childhood, and have an incomparable persistence in dignity and honor. Even in front of the princess, they will not necessarily bow their heads easily.

A young man from an aristocratic family dressed in gorgeous clothes had a gloomy face and an unyielding light in his eyes. He slowly said, "Your Highness, we dare not underestimate your majesty. But the grudge between Luo Dan and our family is no joke. We, the children of aristocratic families, also have our own principles and bottom line. I'm afraid today's matter will not end well."

As soon as he finished speaking, other children of the noble families echoed him, with firmness and determination in their voices. They knew that going against the princess was undoubtedly a risk, but they were willing to take the risk for the honor and dignity of their family.

The princess's face became even gloomier when she heard this. She had never expected that these noble children would be so stubborn and would rather go against her than let Luo Dan go. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and her voice became louder: "You guys are so bold! Do you think that I can't do anything to you?"

As she spoke, her aura became stronger and stronger, as if she was going to suffocate everyone present. The children of the noble families felt this pressure, and their faces changed slightly, but no one took a step back. They knew that retreating at this moment would undoubtedly be a betrayal of the honor of the noble family.

Even the senior brother in front took a step forward and bowed to her, with a helpless and resolute tone: "Princess, please don't force us. Even if you can protect him this time, you can't guarantee that you can protect him forever. After all, the family has already set its sights on him. Anyone who dares to provoke the family will offend more than just my family. Princess, do you really want to confront our family because of such an arrogant person? The interests involved should be clearer to you than anyone else."

Upon hearing this, the princess secretly clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her flesh, but she was completely unaware. Her eyes were firm and persistent, as if she had already prepared for the worst. She slowly spoke, with an unquestionable determination in her voice: "Yes, I am going to confront you, what do you think? This princess has never been afraid of anything, let alone confronting your family. Luodan, this princess is here to protect you!" As she spoke, her aura became stronger and stronger, like a warrior about to go into battle, exuding an inviolable majesty. The children of the aristocratic families felt the pressure and their faces changed slightly, but they also knew that once the princess said this, there would be no room for maneuver.

Hearing this, Luo Dan was really shocked. He looked at the princess with a complicated look in his eyes. He never thought that the princess would do this for him. A warm current surged in his heart, and at the same time he felt a little guilty. He knew how much trouble he had brought to the princess because of his momentary impulse.

"Princess, you..." Luo Dan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He knew how powerful the family was, and he also knew how much pressure the princess would have to endure in order to protect him.

The princess simply glanced at him calmly, her eyes full of determination and trust: "Luo Dan, you don't need to say more. Since I have decided to protect you, I will definitely protect you to the end. You just need to remember that no matter what happens, I will stand by your side."

As soon as she finished speaking, a young man from an aristocratic family dressed in gorgeous clothes could not help but refute: "Princess, your actions are undoubtedly making an enemy of our family. Do you know the consequences of making an enemy of our family?"

The princess snorted coldly and met his gaze without fear: "End? This princess wants to see what the end will be for being an enemy of your family. No matter how big your family is, it is not bigger than the imperial power. As a member of the royal family, how can this princess be afraid of you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful aura spread out, making everyone present feel an unprecedented pressure. The children of the noble families looked at each other, muttering in their hearts: This princess is really determined to protect Luo Dan.

At this moment, Luo Dan was not only touched, but also had more respect for the princess. He knew that he was lucky to meet such a princess. He secretly vowed that no matter what happened in the future, he would work hard to improve himself and never let the princess bear any pressure for him again.

"Princess..." He murmured softly, his voice was so soft that it seemed as if he was just talking to himself and no one could hear him. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including admiration, gratitude, and a subtle worry.

Looking at the stubborn and unwavering princess, he shook his head and sighed, thinking to himself, "Why is it so? The princess is willing to confront these noble children head-on for an outsider like me. How can I, Luo Dan, be worthy of such kindness?"

Although these noble families were dissatisfied with the outcome of the negotiation, they knew in their hearts that the princess was not someone they could easily mess with. Even if they were noble families, they did not want to confront the royal family, as that would undoubtedly be asking for trouble. Although they were proud, they were not stupid people and knew when to advance and retreat.

"Hmph, you're lucky!" The senior brother in gorgeous clothes snorted coldly, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. They originally thought that with the power of the family, they could easily take Luo Dan away, but they didn't expect that the princess would stand up so resolutely to protect him.

The others were also reluctant, and they left with heavy steps, as if every step was on their hearts. The senior brother glared at Luo Dan fiercely, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness, as if he wanted to take him back with him and teach him a lesson.

Luo Dan felt their gazes, but he was not afraid at all. He knew that he was able to escape this time thanks to the princess's protection. He looked at the princess with eyes full of gratitude and respect.

The princess just glanced at them calmly, as if she didn't take their resentment and anger to heart. She turned and walked towards Luo Dan, saying softly: "Luo Dan, don't worry, with me here, they won't dare to do anything to you."

Luo Dan felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He knew that he was lucky to meet such a princess. He looked at the princess and nodded firmly: "Princess, I am not an ungrateful person. I will definitely remember your kindness in my heart."

The princess smiled faintly when she heard this. She patted Luo Dan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, no need to be so polite. Since I have decided to protect you, I will definitely protect you to the end. You just need to remember that no matter what happens, I will stand by your side."

These words touched Luo Dan even more. He looked at the princess with a determined look in his eyes. He knew that he must work hard to improve himself and never let the princess bear any pressure for him again.

The children of the noble families could only leave in disgrace. They were so envious and jealous of Luo Dan that they could not express it in words. They secretly vowed to find an opportunity to teach this kid a lesson and let him know that the dignity of the children of the noble families could not be violated.

The two sides parted on bad terms, but the storm came to a temporary end under the princess's resolute protection. Luo Dan knew that his future was still full of unknowns and challenges, but he was confident that with the princess by his side, he would be able to move forward fearlessly.

After they left, the princess's strong momentum weakened. She seemed to have unloaded all her burdens in an instant, and she became a little listless. She pinched her eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes revealed a trace of fatigue that was difficult to conceal, and her eyes flashed with a little helplessness and persistence.

Luo Dan felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at the princess's tired appearance, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He slowly walked in front of her and called softly, "Princess." (End of this chapter)
