Chapter 523: The Cheap Prince
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The young man took a deep breath and walked forward with determined steps. Before the astonished gaze of Mestre, he knelt before Su Wan.
He lowered his head humbly.
“Lord Su Wan, I, Jia Wen, the third prince of the Holy Kingdom, pay my respects to you.”
“Prince Jia Wen, as a person of noble status, you don’t need to pay respects to me. Doesn’t your surname hold the word “Holy”?” Su Wan stared at the young man.
In order to prove their legitimacy, the royal family of the Holy Kingdom had always used the word “Holy” as their surname.
“The “Holy” surname is filthy and unworthy of being placed after my name.” Jia Wen gritted his teeth.
“Prince Jia Wen, please rise. I cannot accept such courtesy from a prince. Besides, your connection with the royal family is none of my concern.” She wondered if the prince was being sincere or laying a trap for her.
Xu Yuan sat on the side and observed indifferently. He didn’t want to get involved in such matters. It was just a cliched drama, like those he had seen too much in movies and TV shows. Such naive conversations were better suited for Bayion.
“Forgive my rudeness. The upper echelons of the Holy Kingdom have reached an agreement with most of the nobles to prepare for the seizure of the Tasiria Plane.” Jia Wen took a deep breath. “I was sent to provoke you and test your true strength.”
Mestre scowled. Could it be that the prince hated the Holy Kingdom?
She had reached that conclusion from collecting a large amount of data, but it was still surprising to see the other party be so straightforward with it.
What did he want to do?
Xu Yuan, who was watching from the sidelines, was also surprised. If this wasn’t an act, then the hatred the prince had for the Holy Kingdom was irreparable.
It seemed that Jia Wen had come prepared.
“How do you plan to do that?” Su Wan asked.
“The Sun Sect has built a church in Canglan City. The new Archbishop in white robes took office three days ago.” Jia Wen looked at Su Wan’s indifferent face. He was even willing to risk the Sun God’s wrath.
“Prince Jia Wen, do you understand what you are saying?” Su Wan stared directly at him.
As soon as her words fell, an immense pressure emanated from Su Wan and shrouded the entire hall in sandstorm-like darkness. The air became stagnant.
“1’11 take responsibility for what I said. The high-ranking officials of the Holy Kingdom not only want to control the Tasiria Plane but also want to take away a certain evil god’s treasure. They plant soul worms in the possessed bodies, which devours them into empty shells!”
New souls would be born within those bodies, and they would be completely subservient to the soul worm’s master.
Even the Lords weren’t immune to it. Jia Wen felt himself tremble. He didn’t back down. He stepped forward with even greater determination and looked at Su Wan.
“By telling me this, Prince Jia Wen, have you considered the consequences?” Su Wan asked. She realized that he was being truthful.
“What does it matter if souls are devoured? Since my father, mother, and sister were killed by those filthy bastards, I live only for revenge. Even if I fall into the abyss, 1 will drag them down with me!” Jia Wen’s face twisted in madness, and he laughed.
Su Wan turned to Mestre in astonishment.
Mestre shook her head. She didn’t know anything about that.
“I know that you find it hard to trust me, Lord Su Wan. You also know that the filthy bloodline of the Holy Royal Family runs in my veins. But none of that matters! As long as I can eliminate those bustards, I am willing to do anything for you!” Jia Wen’s voice trembled.
“To my knowledge, your mother died of an illness, and you don’t have a sister. As for your father, isn’t he the king of the Holy Kingdom? When did he pass away?” Su Wan asked calmly.
“King? How can that bustards be my father!” Pain and anger flashed across Jia Wen’s face. He suddenly covered his face in his hands.
The king had gotten drunk and forced himself onto Jia Wen’s mother. After that, he and Jia Wen’s sister were born.
The Holy Royal Family used their bloodline identification technique to find Jia Wen!
Jia Wen clenched his fists tightly. A vein throbbed at his temple. He looked ferocious.
Although he didn’t tell her what happened next, Su Wan could guess.
A woman married to a commoner gave birth to the king’s child.
The royal family might have been perturbed to find out that the woman kept a relationship with a lowly commoner. It would be a blasphemy to the royal bloodline. The royal family then might have killed the commoner and his family.
“What I’m curious about is… why haven’t you tried to kill them until now?” Su Wan asked.
“At that time, there weren’t many descendants, and they all had some physical problems. The royal family has a forbidden technique that can strengthen their bloodline to enhance their own power.” Jia Wen lowered his head silently.
Su Wan was greatly surprised by the actions of the Holy Royal Family.
Humans were truly a complex race. They could choose between evil, kindness, order, chaos, and various other factions without a thought. But the royal family of the Holy Kingdom had done unthinkable things.
The word “Holy” was indeed hypocritical.
“Prince Jia Wen, what do you want in exchange for telling me this?” Su Wan asked.
“You are the one who killed the Lord of Greed!” Jia Wen’s eyes were red, and his voice was low.
Su Wan was the most powerful among the Lords. She controlled an entire plane and ruled over the influential Tasirian Lords Association!
More importantly, Su Wan was an enemy of the Holy Kingdom!
The greed of the descendants of the Holy Royal Family had driven them mad, and they would never let her go.
Although there were many powerful beings in this world, only Su Wan had the ability to kill those descendants and was willing to be their enemy!
Jia Wen knelt on the ground and pressed his head against the ground.
“Lord Su Wan, I am willing to give everything and serve you with all my heart in your war against the Holy Kingdom!” he said fervently.
Whether it was providing intelligence as a spy or doing anything that needed to be done, Jia Wen was willing to lend his hand at all costs!
