Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 9: Join

After the Prince and Princess hugged each other, they then looked at the young nobles who had gathered in front of them.

"All right, everyone." Prince Varog then spoke.

"Since we've all arrived here, how about we start the hunting party now."

"I heard that the meat of the wild beasts in this valley is very delicious. After we hunt the beasts, we can feast and cook their meat. I'm sure you all want to try it." He said, which was immediately greeted with cheers by the young nobles.

They responded with words of approval.

And not long after, led by Prince Varog and Princess Reva, the young royals started flying towards the valley not far from the city.

The warriors brought by the Sacred Wind Kingdom also followed behind them. Most of the young nobles continued to glance back at the warriors.

The fact that the warriors had also followed them to the valley proved that this hunting party was not as simple as just an ordinary hunting party. After all, as for the valley's outskirts, it should still be safe for those young nobles.

So, if the warriors' reasons were to protect the young aristocrats from getting into an accident, that was rather unbelievable.

Well, unless they go deeper into the valley where there are more wild beasts. But if it was just a hunting party, there was no need to go any deeper because just on the outskirts of the valley, there were already enough beasts for them to hunt.

....

While the young nobless had started hunting the beasts, Prince Varog and Princess Reva were still standing in their places.

Currently, there were only a few young nobles who remained behind them, and they were young nobless of very high status. Their family strength was actually not inferior to the strength of an ordinary royal family.

Roux and Rivik who always follow Princess Reva are also among them.

When nearly all of the young nobles disappeared from behind Prince Varog and the others, the warriors who had previously followed behind the group of young nobles began to walk forward. They approached Prince Varog's group.

"They want to go deeper. But apart from royal warriors, Prince Varog will likely only bring in a few high ranking nobles." Alu said silently as he watched Prince Varog, who had gathered with the group of royal warriors.

"If I go alone, I won't be able to fight against so many beast hordes with True Spiritual stage strength just by myself."

Even if it was Prince Varog, with Alu's spiritual source, which had already reached two thousand and six hundred spiritual sources, Alu could defeat that prince with just a few blows. But if he had to fight thousands of beasts by himself, he could only run away if he didn't want to die.

....

"Hey, Hawke, why are you still quiet. Come on, let's attack too." One of Hawke's friends tapped Hawke on the shoulder when he saw Hawke still standing where he was.

Although everyone could already confirm that Prince Varog had plans of his own, as a lowly noble, they didn't really think about it.

As long as Prince Varog didn't plan to harm them, they didn't mind playing a part to cover up his actions.

But Alu, he, of course, wouldn't want to do that.

"You can go first." Alu then answered.

Without glancing at them, Alu then walked towards Prince Varog.

"..." Hawke's friends.

"He looks like he wants to join them."

"Is he crazy?"

"But he's still Princess Reva's cousin. It would be too much if Princess Reva kicked Hawke out in front of so many people."

Even though Hawke was far from qualified to join Prince Varog's group, if he acted shamelessly, he might still be able to join using his status as the Princess's cousin.

ALU who knows that, wants to use that to join them.

And he wasn't Hawke either, so he didn't care if he angered Princess Reva.

Besides that, Prince Varog also looks very friendly towards Princess Reva. After he learned of the relationship between Hawke and Princess Reva, he might still let Hawke follow them.

....

When Alu, who was disguised as Hawke, arrived in front of Prince Varog's group, he immediately received strange gazes from several high-ranking nobles around Prince Varog.

The Hawke's aura that was only the second layer of the True Spiritual stage made them wonder who this low level noble was. In their hearts they thought: is this boy still not understanding the situation.

Alu didn't care about their expressions. Arriving in front of them, he immediately smiled at Princess Reva who started knitting her brows.

"Cousin, you don't really have the heart to leave me here alone, do you?" Alu said while looking at Princess Reva.

"Cousin." Prince Varog looks surprised when he hears what Alu said. He stared at Alu and Princess Reva alternately with a doubtful expression.

Princess Reva looks displeased when she sees Alu's actions. But Alu ignored her displeasure.

ALU then looked at Prince Varog.

"He-he-he, Prince Varog. You must not know me, right? My name is Hawke and I am Princess Reva's cousin. We can still be considered brothers-in-law." Said Alu while extending his hand towards Prince Varog.

Even though Prince Varog was somewhat suspicious, hearing Alu's words once again, he still responded to Alu with a friendly smile.

"Oh, this is the first time I heard that Princess Reva has a cousin." He then answered while shaking Alu's hand.

"Hehehe." ALU just chuckled casually.

"Does Prince Varog want to find something with so many warriors? Is there a certain opportunity in there? Can I come along?" Alu then stated his goal.

Before Prince Varog answered, Rivik, who heard Alu's words, had already answered.

"Hawke, this isn't something someone like you can follow. It's better if you go hunting with them." Rivik rebuked Alu with an unhappy expression.

"Rivik, even though my strength is much weaker, there are many who are weaker among the warriors. I'm sure I won't become a burden." ALU who already knew that Rivik would bother him immediately answered.

"See."

ALU then released his spiritual resources which amounted to about six hundred and fifty spiritual sources.

"I may still not be able to fight the third layer. But for the second layer, I can still beat them."

"Also, here, you are not the one making the decisions."

Alu then looked back at Prince Varog.

"Prince, can I come?" Alu asked one more time.

Prince Varog did not answer immediately. He stared at Princess Reva first.

Seeing that Princess Reva said nothing even though she looked displeased, Prince Varog finally chose to agree to Alu's request.

"Well, if Brother Hawke really wants to come along. But I suggest Brother Hawke not to get out of line later. The depth of the valley is quite dangerous. Even I could die if I moved alone." Prince Varog replied with a friendly smile.
