Chapter 481: Regina’s Training (1)

A pair of hours later, Regina, Aya, Eres, and Sara arrived at the training floor.

They were surprised to see Liu Ying and Princess Elwha on the training floor already. The two of them were seated across each other, one with a brilliant smile on her face, and the other with a guilty expression.

As for Bloed, he had left awkwardly when Liu Ying told him that she needed to talk to Elwha alone.

"What happened?" Regina asked curiously, making Elwha looked at Liu Ying with a begging look.

Her silver eyes seemed to say 'please don't tell her about the kiss or I'll die. I beg you.'

Liu Ying snorted, but in the end, she decided not to tell Regina the truth.

She could imagine the reaction of the Valkyrie if she learns that a thieving elf was trying to seduce her master.

Just thinking of that scene made Liu Ying shiver.

'Yeah, I will tell her later. When Bloed is nearby to control her.'

"We were just talking about something I lend to her. Anyway, why are you here?" She asked while looking at the girls with Regina.

Regina frowned. Somehow, she felt that Liu Ying and Elwha were hiding something from her.

But in the end, she did not insist and simply answered Liu Ying's question.

"I asked them to come. It's good that you two are here as well. I need to tell you something."

Liu Ying and Elwha were startled, as were Aya, Eres, and Sara.

Regina had gone to their rooms and told them to come to the training floor to talk about something, but she did not explain what this 'something' was.

"So, what do you need to tell us?" Eres asked.

Regina thought for a moment before staring at the five girls with an ice-cold gaze.

"Firstly, I will give you a warning. Master trusts you. He believes that you are his friends and you will never betray him. Thus, I'm willing to put my trust in you as well.

"However, if any of you dares to betray his trust, I swear that I will make sure to turn your lives into an eternal hell."

The girls stiffened.

A tense atmosphere filled the place. The five girls felt as though the air had become heavier all of sudden.

As practitioners, they could feel the killing intent behind Regina's words. She was not joking when she said these words.

"Why are you telling us this, Regina?" Liu Ying asked with a frown.

"It's to make you understand the consequences of betraying master," Regina stated. "And to make sure that you are trustworthy. I want to know if I can trust you."

The girls looked at each other with confused expressions.

However, they could see that Regina was being serious. If they did not reply, Regina was not going to continue.

Finally, Liu Ying heaved a sigh.

"I thought you already trusted me, Regina. Don't worry, I will never betray the man I love."

Regina smiled slightly. "I believe you." She then looked at the rest of the group. "What about you?"

"I love him too. I won't betray him." Aya was the first to reply.

Regina looked at the cat girl for a few seconds before nodding. She then moved her gaze to Sara.

"I swore that my life was his the day he saved my sister. I don't plan to go back on my word."

"Good." Regina nodded. "What about you, Princess Elwha?"

The elf princess was startled. She was unsure about how to reply, plus, the fact that she just kissed Bloed made her mind a mess.

But when she saw Regina's cold eyes, she instinctively nodded.

"Trust me. He is very important to me as well. A-As a friend."

Regina got the feeling that Princess Elwha's answer carried another meaning, but she did not dwell on it and instead moved her gaze to the last girl.

Bloed's sister and the Princess of the Kingdom of Alterna.

Eres Skysword.

Regina frowned.

"To be honest, I don't like anyone of master's previous family. I would prefer if he doesn't have to see any of you ever again.

"However, I understand that master still sees you as his family. So I will ask you too. Can I trust that you will never betray him?"

"I won't."

"Even if you must go against your family due to it?"

"Yes. No matter what, I will never betray him."

Regina stared straight into Eres's eyes. She wanted to catch the slightest glimpse of lies in her words.

However, Eres's eyes were completely firm.

"Don't worry, Miss Regina. I love my brother as much as you. In fact, I will make sure that nothing as what happened a few days ago happens again."

"Oh? And how do you plan to do that?"

"I have my ways," Eres replied calmly.

Regina stared at her fixedly before finally nodding.

"I believe you."

Immediately, the tense atmosphere disappeared from the floor.

Liu Ying let out a sigh that she did not know she was holding and smiled wryly.

"Why are you asking us this, Regina?"

"Because I realized that perhaps I alone am not enough to protect the master."

Liu Ying, Aya, Sara, Princess Elwha, and Eres were stunned.

"What do you mean?" Liu Ying asked.

"You remember what happened in the previous battle? More than once, I was close to being unable to protect master.

"That made me realize that my strength alone could not be enough to protect him. I need people that can protect him in my stead when I can't, and these people are going to be you."

Regina's words startled the five girls.

Regina was going to train them? She was a peak demigod!

Even a casual pointer of her could be of great help for them

Liu Ying was the most excited. She knew how effective Regina's training was.

The last time Regina trained her, Liu Ying became much stronger and even learned Silent Touch.

Now that Regina was saying that she planned to train the five of them, Liu Ying was sure that her strength would increase again.

A sense of anticipation appeared in her heart. Liu Ying could see the path towards greater strength opening to her.
