"It's a pure black hole. There is no fate associated with it at all." The blond man shook his head. "Without the teacher's arrangement, we must avoid her, Master Priest. Ken Bettis died inexplicably at her hands. The King's Plan can no longer take the risk of using her as bait."

"Avoiding again and again, avoiding again and again, when will it end?" The black-robed priest disagreed with the prince's suggestion, "In order to seize the Ring of Destiny, we have to avoid her subordinate Ye Xiao, who caused Artolina to take the sacrifice to Storm Harbor and now she can't be found. Now the Kingship Plan has to avoid her again. Which of your plans is running smoothly now? Just because the Evolution Ceremony was hindered by her, you are so afraid of a mortal?"

"I really don't understand. If you don't strangle her in the cradle now while she's still weak, are you going to wait until she becomes a saint?"

"Master Priest, you can't say that. After all, she is the Chosen One of the Light Gods. If we take action against her now, it will likely cause the wrath of the Holy Temple."

"You are afraid of the Holy Temple without her leadership. When she becomes the master of the Holy Temple, where will you hide?" The irritable black-robed priest slammed the table fiercely, "I will deal with her personally. You just hide well. Fortunately, the Holy Temple will not be angry with you for this."

"Master Priest, don't be impulsive..." The prince wanted to speak out to stop him, but the irritable priest in black had already stood up, flicked his sleeves and left.

"Oh." He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The teacher left quietly this morning and did not leave him any clear instructions.

The development of the situation seems to be becoming increasingly out of control.

……

On the other side, Ella also left the arena and arrived at the academy gate under the escort of a group of Templar Knights.

The petite girl was shaking her silver twin ponytails, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw a large group of noble students gathered at the door.

Just when she thought that she was being blocked by the princess' students who refused to admit defeat, a familiar figure in the crowd walked forward tremblingly with flowers in his hands.

This is a girl with long beige hair wearing a short fluffy cape with wave-like patterns embroidered on the edge and two pink and white pompoms on the bow tie.

"Congratulations... Congratulations to Her Lady Saint for winning the duel!" The girl and a group of students said with some joy and some fear.

"...Miss Irene?" Ella recognized the girl in front of her. She was the crybaby noble lady that Ye Xiao met in the Howling Mountains before.

It turned out that he had returned to the academy since that separation. This made sense, since the aristocratic academy brought together children of nobles from all over the country.

However, Irene was surprised at first, and then she was as happy as a cat seeing canned food, "Saint... Saint Lady, do you know me? "

"Ah..." Ella smiled and took the flowers from the other person's hand, "After all, we are classmates. Thank you."

"Lady Saint!!!" Irene had tears in her eyes and was so moved that she was about to hug Ella.

The Templar Knight beside him subconsciously wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Ella who gently raised his hand.

The girl's warm hug almost made Ella breathless, but she did not push her away coldly. She just poked her head out of her arms, and with a little relief, she thanked the students who came to congratulate her.

"Hey, thank you all~"

The clear and melodious voice was like that of a lark, and the students finally realized that the eldest daughter of the Duke's family, who had always looked so arrogant, seemed to be much gentler than before.

This also made some of the Saint's fans bolder, and they moved closer from their original cautious wait-and-see attitude.

Chapter 93: The Frustrated Princess

After a lot of tugging and pulling, Ella finally left the gate surrounded by a group of students.

After watching the Saint Lady get on the car and leave, Irene blushed and started discussing with the students next to her: "I feel that Lady Haiweier has become much more friendly since she was crowned the Chosen One of God."

"Indeed, he used to tell me to get lost, but now he actually thanks me. I am so touched."

"Ah... I was expecting to hear Lady Seavel call me an 'ant' again... but now I love Lady Saint so much..."

As Ella was getting farther away in the carriage, she could not hear the whispers of the students behind her, otherwise she would probably have a new understanding of her admirers.

The silver-haired girl just sat in the carriage and stretched, preparing to go back to the cathedral to wait for the dungeon invitation sent to her by the palace.

By the way, shift the attention to your own clone.

She was feeling very comfortable now, but Ye Xiao was feeling very uncomfortable.

The entrance of the academy's medical room was also surrounded by a group of students. Ye Xiao's expression was like that of Louis XVI who was about to go up to the execution platform.

"Brother, your spirit can infect us, and it will surely cheer up Her Highness the Princess!"

"Our mission is entrusted to you, brother. Use your imperial spirit to save Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Thank you all for your kindness, brothers, but my stomach really hurts a little. Can I go to the toilet first..." Ye Xiao said with a wry smile.

Before he could finish his words, he was pushed into the door of the medical room.

"Go! The future of the empire depends on you!"

Damn it! A bunch of cowards don't dare to offend the princess, so let me do it, right? ?

The corner of Ye Xiao's mouth twitched. He knew very well what these guys were planning, but the door panel behind him had been pulled.

Looking at the eldest princess leaning against the snow-white goose down bed not far away, Ye Xiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The sun shone through the wooden window bars, casting a faint light on the princess's long curly hair. Her long eyelashes fluttered gently, but her blue eyes on her fair face seemed to be absent-minded, as if she was thinking about something.

Although the girl has a pretty face, Ye Xiao does not have any good feelings towards her because of her royal status, her arrogant and snobbish character, and her hatred for Lilia and Ella.

His previous show was just for self-protection. Although he was accidentally pushed into the room now, it was impossible for him to really do something stupid like cheering up the princess who hated him.

Besides, with the other party's bad temper and arrogance, if Ye Xiao really dared to go up to him and talk nonsense, he might get scolded. He would only look for trouble if he had nothing better to do.

So Ye Xiao just stood at the door in silence, waiting for the guys outside to open the door for him.

When the time comes, he can go out and say that he said a lot of things but unfortunately Her Royal Highness the Princess ignored him, then find a place to take off his clothes and run away. This is the best strategy.

One minute, two minutes...

In the dead silence, Princess Skadi, who was sitting on the bed, seemed to finally realize that there was another person in the room.

She turned her head, and her slightly dazed eyes regained focus, with a hint of surprise in them, "You are... the classmate in the audience?"

Ye Xiao tried his best to hide in the corner without making any noise, but he didn't expect that he was still noticed by the other party. Helpless, he could only nod silently.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice it. It's been a long time since you came in." Skadi touched her bandaged arm, which still caused a slight pain.

"No, no... I just came in." Ye Xiao smiled awkwardly, "I'm glad that Your Highness is okay. I just came to visit. I will leave now and will not disturb Your Highness."

After saying that, Ye Xiao was about to open the door next to him.

"No, wait..." a soft voice sounded, "Or...are you disappointed in me as expected?"

It’s unfair, sister. I never had any hope in you... Ye Xiao was speechless, but he couldn’t open the damn door even if he exerted a little force on his wrist.

"How could that be, Your Highness? I will always support you." As Ye Xiao spoke, he had already grasped the door handle with both hands. Veins on his arms were throbbing. How many damn people were pulling the door outside? Why couldn't they open it even after pulling it so hard!

"Really……"

"Of course, my dear princess." Someone outside, open the door, open it for me quickly!

"That's right... When I was defeated by her, you were the only one who shouted for me... Now that I'm lying in the infirmary, you're the only one willing to visit me."

This is a huge misunderstanding, I am the only one here who doesn’t want to see you!!!

"No, there are still many people supporting you, Your Highness Princess. They are outside." Ye Xiao's scalp tingled. He didn't want to do any psychological counseling for problem children. He just wanted to open the broken door.

"Thank you for your comfort." Skadi sighed softly, "This does make me feel better."

"No, there really is someone else..."

"Thank you... I don't know, can you listen to me?"

Can you please listen to what others say first?

"Once upon a time, I thought I was a true genius, born into the imperial family, with unrivaled swordsmanship among my peers..."

The princess's sweet voice echoed in the quiet medical room.

The dim halo of light moves in the haze, and under the Tyndall effect, it is like a veil draped over a girl, complementing the lush green grass outside the window, appearing beautiful and dreamy.

It’s a pity that Ye Xiao’s heart was very noisy, as if a bunch of subtitle bubbles were popping up and destroying this touching scene.

Please stop talking, please let me go! Find someone who deserves to talk to you, what's the point of you telling me all this, I don't want to listen to the inner monologue of my enemy! !

"It seems that all the people of the empire were born to worship me, and my excellence is also a matter of course."

"My admirers are just the foundation of my feet, and my opponents are just ants that I will destroy sooner or later."

"I sometimes feel a little lonely, but I always think it's just a sign of cowardice."

"Until this failure...I suddenly realized how ridiculous everything I was proud of was."

"I thought I was at the top of my game, but it turns out I am so vulnerable in front of a true genius."

"That woman has never taken the academy's childish assessment seriously."

"She, who is the same age as me, can compete with her brothers in the palace over the structure of the empire and the temple, but I only care about winning or losing a sword fight..."

"I thought my supporters were just worshipping their imaginary strength. My royal family members didn't even think of visiting me when they saw that I was seriously injured..."

"Even my most proud swordsmanship is nothing more than an ant that can be easily defeated in front of that woman..."

"Even though I vowed to challenge her again, lying on the bed, my body would tremble uncontrollably just by imagining the knife..."

Skadi looked at her hands, her voice trembling. "I knew then that it was a height I could never reach... Even if I tried again, it would only add to the shame, just as she said..."

"I... feel like I am nothing..."

Chapter 94: Unexpected Comfort

Oh my goodness, it turns out that Daoxin was shattered by Ella.

Ye Xiao could also barely understand that when he hadn't reached that realm yet, seeing the power displayed by an opponent who was several realms higher than him, especially in the same field, it would be easy to feel like collapsing.

However, this situation mostly only occurs in those who are psychologically fragile... The eldest princess is so arrogant in words, but her mentality is unexpectedly poor.

It was just a beating in public. I can only say that these nobles are living too comfortably...

In Ye Xiao's previous life, he was basically beaten up all the way. Every sword skill he learned and every survival skill he acquired were the result of blood and tears.

It would be fine if they had never been beaten, but many times after being beaten, they had to kneel down and beg for peace, and if they were slapped on the left cheek, they had to turn the right cheek...ah, just thinking about those shitty experiences makes me feel uncomfortable.

In contrast, although she is also a princess, Lilia's mind is so hard that she doesn't seem like a normal person.

Ye Xiao leaned against the wall and looked at the lost eldest princess, pulling his wandering thoughts back.

But no matter what I thought in my heart, I couldn't say it out loud. After all, this girl was still a royal family member in the greenhouse and had not yet graduated from the academy. It would be a bit too harsh to ask her to have the same mentality as those experienced adventurers.

But...is it really necessary to comfort her?

Ye Xiao struggled for a while. To some extent, they were on different sides. Theoretically, it would not be a good thing for him if this guy cheered up.

But on another level, this guy has already shown signs of repentance, and my words may affect the direction she will go in next...

If he was ignored, he might never recover, or he might become a madman driven by hatred and keep biting Ella; if a few words could push this guy onto a less bad path, it might not be a bad thing - the chaos in the upper echelons of the empire was obvious to all, and if a responsible royal seedling could grow in such soil, it might influence some things.

Of course, this is just Ye Xiao's small hope, and the final result is likely to be that it will be of no use no matter what he says - after all, the environment this guy is in is like that, and the effect of a few words from him is probably far less than the influence of the environment.

But...it's worth a try.

"Your Highness, I really want to comfort you by saying that a temporary victory or defeat does not determine anything, or that Ella Haiweier just used some treacherous tricks to gain a temporary lead."

"But I know that this may not have any effect on you."

In the quiet room, Ye Xiao leaned against the wall at the head of the bed and spoke slowly.

"So... you have given up hope in me, right?" Skadi whispered.

"That's the truth... We were defeated, completely defeated, by the Saint's sword skills." Ye Xiao continued, "But, I don't know what others think, even so, I never regret following you."

"No one is immune to failure, Your Highness. Even in the greatest epics, the hero always faces a powerful opponent."

"I am just an ordinary student with mediocre talent. I may never reach your level in this life, and I cannot see the clues in the Saint's sword skills."

"But I believe in you, not because of your talent, royal family background or outstanding appearance."

"His Highness Edgar's swordsmanship is also very powerful, and the Saint's strength is also unfathomable, but I only choose to believe in you because of your belief."

"belief……?"

“Legends are celebrated not because they never fall, but because they always stand up after falling.”

"Your Highness, I am not a good speaker, and I may not be able to help you, but every time you fall, I am willing to cheer for you."

"Because I know that I will definitely see you rise again."

"This is the faith I follow in you, higher than sword skills or life experience, it belongs to your unique soul."

"I... I'm not that..." Skadi grabbed the quilt with both hands, her face slightly red.

However, Ye Xiao, who was concentrating on writing lines, did not notice the other party's expression and was still racking his brains to organize his words.

"I know that you and I are not from the same world. As an ordinary student, what I say is not much of a comfort."
