Chapter Fifty I am a man

  (Thanks for the silent departure of your childhood shoes' reward)

  Wu Lingfeng brought the doll Loli back to Stardak, only to find Helena and Xanthe walking back and forth with serious expressions. Princess Charlotte was lying on one side, crying, while Winnie comforted her.

  Moreover, there was another person here, with golden long hair like Xianya, but the eyes were sea blue, very good-looking, tall and slender, fair skin, wearing a suit of golden armor.

  "What's wrong? I've only been out for half a day, what happened?" Wu Lingfeng asked with furrowed brows.

  "Are you the guardian knight of Princess Charlotte?" The blonde-haired blue-eyed beauty asked Wu Lingfeng.

  Wu Lingfeng nodded: "Of course it's me, this is the only one, there are no branches."

  "Hmm, alright, quickly take Charlotte away from the Holy Light Empire, it's no longer safe here..." The golden-haired blue-eyed beauty said in a commanding tone.

  "What's wrong? Not safe?" Wu Lingfeng was surprised, what's not safe here?

  Xian Ni Ya sighed and said: "The Grand Prince has encountered a mishap. At the time when you were capturing the Stak City army, the Grand Prince was assassinated..."

  The blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty said with a hint of despair: "Yes, I am Eveletta Lains, the Guardian Knight who protected the Grand Prince, and... also his lover. I witnessed him die before my eyes. The Grand Princess had long been in cahoots with the Empire of Thorns, and together they murdered the Grand Prince."

  "I'm afraid His Majesty the King has also passed away. I had originally planned to follow him in death, but the Grand Prince made me swear on his deathbed to protect Princess Charlotte and get her out of Sacred Light, so I came here."

  Wu Lingfeng said with a headache: "Now you're telling me this, it's also quite sudden. Did the king not have any preparations? Letting the princess be so reckless, I really don't understand this country anymore. You know, I originally hoped to gain some military merit and then become a small lord..."

  Xian Ni Ya sneered and said, "Without great ambition, it's a waste that someone like you has actually taken down two cities. The king was also secretly controlled, and the strongest Dilong Army Corps unexpectedly turned to the Grand Princess in the end. No one expected this, but now the empire's two major legions are already in the hands of the Grand Princess."

  "With the support of the Shudon family added, more than 80% of the country's magicians have turned to the Grand Princess. In short, now that the Crown Prince is dead, the Little Princess has become the next target..."

  "What choice do I have?" Wu Lingfeng couldn't help but be speechless. As Charlotte's guardian knight, the Grand Princess must also hate him now. With no other option, he could only leave.

  "As expected, just like Xania said... a useless guy..." Evelet said coldly, "You can choose to leave, I'll protect Princess Charlotte and get her out of here..."

  Good-for-nothing fellow...

  Upon hearing these words, Wu Lingfeng suddenly became enraged and said: "Do you have the guts? Do you want to try? Charlotte will be protected by me, I'm a man, it's my responsibility, I won't shirk..."

  Eva smiled and nodded, saying: "Alright, now I can rest assured. I'll leave here, Charlotte is in your hands now. I trust you, God's bloodline, I've also heard of your deeds, legendary young man, remember the promise, protect Charlotte..."

  Yvette's sudden smile left Wu Lingfeng somewhat perplexed - was she intentionally provoking him?

  "Evelyn, it can't be you?" Xanthe's eyes widened as she stared at Evelyn.

  Eve smiled faintly and said, "Although it's impossible to succeed, I have a determination to die. Since childhood, I've been by the Crown Prince's side... Alex's figure has been deeply imprinted on my heart. He must be lonely in heaven; I'll go follow him. Charlotte has Lingfeng the mage for protection, so the Crown Prince's last wish should be fulfilled. I also want to do what I need to do... accompany him..."

  "You can't assassinate the Grand Princess, and doing so would be futile. Even if you were to get close to her, the Grand Princess is one of the Four Great Rose Knights, with strength that's not weak at all. Does this make sense?" Xanthea questioned.

  Eve gazed out at the sky with a somber expression and said, "He's gone, I must follow him. Even in heaven, I will be his guardian knight. From now on, there will no longer be four Rose Knights... My mind is made up, don't try to persuade me..."

  "Bang..."

  Wu Lingfeng listened to Yvette's words, and couldn't help but grab her shoulders, slapping her face, saying: "Men despise women like you the most. The crown prince should have told you to cherish your own life well. Now that you've become the object of the crown prince's thoughts, you're not living for yourself."

  If I were the great prince, I would rather you live a good life. After your death, will their love still exist? Can you guarantee that after your death, you will still remember him? No, your death can only make him more heartbroken. His own woman died for him, which makes men feel pain and shame.

  "So live on well, if you still want to die, then go ahead, your death will make the great prince even more hateful of himself, cursing himself, and carrying his thoughts, living on is not a reason."

  Eve covered her face, staring blankly at Wu Lingfeng, her whole body seemingly losing strength, kneeling on the ground, and bursting into tears. Why... why did it have to be like this? If only she had known, she wouldn't have left his side for a single moment...

  After seeing Eve temporarily let go of the thought of death, Wu Lingfeng walked up to Charlotte, stretched out his hand and said: "Charlotte, let's go, trust me, one day we will return..."

  Charlotte rushed into Wu Lingfeng's arms with red eyes, tightly hugging his body and said: "I'm so scared, don't leave me..."

  Wu Lingfeng nodded and said, "No way, you're a princess and I'm a knight. Although in the past it was almost the same to me, but now...it's not bad, okay, let's go..."

  "Uh-huh...good..." Charlotte nodded, holding onto Wu Lingfeng's hand and refusing to let go, as if she had grasped a lifeline and wouldn't release it.

  "We're going to the Godz Alliance in the south, where there's the best magic academy on the continent. Let's settle down there for now..." Helena said.

  "Hmm, no need to prepare anything else, let's get on horseback and leave here immediately..." Wu Lingfeng and Helena nodded.

  Winnie stood obediently beside Wu Lingfeng.

  "You all go, the Battle Wolf Legion will take over here. The Grand Princess is about to ascend to the throne immediately. She is the next king of the Holy Light Empire, and the war with Thorn Flower will continue. Although they joined forces to kill the Crown Prince, now the Grand Princess has to consider how to deal with Thorn Flower after all, she is already the king." Xanthea said.
