The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 1164 Princess Lorient



The ringing in his ears was unbearable, Garrof immediately took the recovery potion and mana potion at the same time only then did he feel much better and the ringing and dizziness gradually disappeared.

Garrof patted his chest and then touched his cheek "I'm...alive?" he found it hard to believe how he survived the explosion then something hit him he wonder why he didn't hear Lloyd's voice so he quickly sat up to look for his friend suddenly the pain in his body finally caught up with him and Garrof groaned in pain.

Garrof felt he didn't need more recovery potions, especially for the old wound on his knee which was now throbbing with stabbing pain, Garrof let out a weak breath but then his gaze stopped at Lloyd, he wanted to call out to him but was confused to see Lloyd's stunned with his eyes open widely and his Jaw hang loose like someone who had just been struck by lightning.

Garrof turned his gaze to where Lloyd was staring at the instant his eyes bulged so wide, shock, and disbelief mixed together causing his voice chocked in his throat.

[Are you okay wife?] Zhao Li Xin cupped her face gently with eyes fixed with worry. 

Lory nods weakly [Just..tired] Lory leans her head softly on Zhao Li Xin's chest.

[Are you sure?] Zhao Li Xin looks at her with cautious evaluation knowing his wife has a terrible habit to lie when it comes to her own well-being.

On the contrary, Lory was more worried about him, she noticed a few scratches on his arms and handsome face, what's more, she saw blood was also dripping from both of his ears, it feels her heart stop for a second and she screams in fright [You hurt, My God!]

Her worry make Lory forget where they were she immediately cupped Zhao Li Xin's face and a soft purplish glittering light emerge and scattered like stars then slowly seeping through Zhao Li Xin's skin and soon the scars on his body disappeared one by one.

Garrof and Lloyd didn't need further explanation to figure out the mystery woman's true identity.

"Princess...Princess Lo..rient" Garrof was dumbstruck.

Lory turned her head to Garrof and Lloyd, and she almost burst to laughed seeing their funny expressions but it was rude so Lory thoughtfully cover her smile with the back of her palm and speak in a playful tone "Ah, I guess you got me~"

"...."

"...."

Lory sighed knowing it was impossible to hide her identity after this, oh well, this was bound to happen sooner or later anyway.

Lory cast her healing gift and the purplish light scattered in Garrof and Lloyd's direction soon after, whatever wounds their potions had not healed yet now completely healed without a trace even their old injuries were completely gone like the knee injury Garrof had when he was still a soldier.

"I hope you guys keep this a secret for a while" Though Lory's voice sounds calm but it is coated with the sovereignty of a ruler.

Garrof and Lloyd immediately bow their head saying simultaneously "As you wish your highness!"

It had been a long time since someone reacted like this Lory had almost forgotten how awkward it felt. "You don't have to get uptight guys, just act normal after all we're comrades, right?"

"We followed your orders!" Garrof and Lloyd gave the same courteous manner.

Lory scratched her head then sighed [Yeah, it's gonna be hard...]

Zhao Li Xin saw Garrof and Lloyd's reaction and then remembered Ming Yue Yin's reaction the first time she met Lory. Those were eyes of utter awe and admiration, and it never faded until the last day they were together.

In the past, Zhao Li Xin often heard everyone asking why Ming Yue Yin placed Lory so high above her, who even at that time already held the reins of power as the Empress of Liang Zu kingdom.

At that time Ming Yue Yin would smile and say 'Because you all never seen what her existence meant for the people in her world'

For many people even outside the kingdom of Harland, the Lucien family is the epitome of wisdom, virtue, and power, therefore, many reasons people apply for citizenship in Harland are not only because they wanted a better life for themselves but mostly because they admiration and trust for the Lucient family.

And they weren't wrong because Harland is known as the safest place in the world with a very low crime rate in most of their cities because of the strict laws in Harland not to mention the level of corruption is significantly lo than any other country and there is not much discord within the Harland internal politic.

This way policies and regulations can run smoothly without any significant obstacles and for anyone who is stupid enough to abuse their authority, it doesn't matter who they are or what their background will be punished according to the law.

One of the heaviest punishments is the death penalty and exile for the whole family with all their wealth being confiscated for anyone who is involved in corruption, moreover, there is no way to haggle from this situation cause The King of Harland is known to be awfully strict in carrying out his rules and mandate so under no circumstances does the King will make a deal with the guilty party, in one of his speech the King said: 'The right thing to do tend to be the hardest, but I will not yield nor I cower cause its duty for a ruler to persist so everyone could live the life they deserved'

Then these quotes were widely used to criticize governments and rulers around the world which of course later gave rise to hatred towards the Lucien family but no one dared to speak up because many people praised Harland's King.

To many politicians and rulers, the Lucien family was a threat, especially after the war of the Dark Ages where the Lucien family fought alongside their soldiers and generals on the front lines to protect the people, unlike other rulers who only gave orders to send their troops. and soldiers behind the safety of their bunker, therefore, the Lucient earned the respect and admiration of not only common people but also soldiers cause no one knows better than a soldier how it felt out there, how scary and painful it was to see your brothers in arms died next to you and nothing you could do.

It was already hard enough for a grown man especially a trained soldier like them especially for two teenagers like Lory and Lucas but they persisted till the end and even managed to save the world so how could people not admire the young Lucient heir?

"So...someone's trying to kill us" Lory took a mana potion then drank a large amount of it, he groaned afterward "Did the potion get even more bitter than I remember?"

Garrof shrugged "It feels the same to me, Your Majesty"

"May I ask where you have been all this time Princess?" Lloyd ventured to ask.

Lory swallowed the chocolate candy and then waved his hand "Please call me Raven like you used to and yes I've been away...faraway in fact" Lory paused for a few seconds then continued "We should get out of here before someone or something comes!"

Garrof and Lloyd immediately snapped back to the reality of their situation, the four of them quickly left the former explosion area and then headed to their pick-up location.

| "We still have 5 minutes to the pick-up point!" said Garrof.

"That's great, we still made it!" Lloyd chimed in.

Suddenly a sound of an explosion echoed and it startled them causing them to pause for a moment soon after gray smoke rose into the pale blue sky, and they immediately have a bad premonition.

"Shit, that can be it…" Garrof gritted his teeth in anger.

They immediately quickened their pace, praying they were wrong but their hopes were cruelly crushed at the same time Lory saw a group of people coming in white and gray camouflage military clothing, complete with headgear that cover their faces, and all of them carry heavy weapons

"Everyone hide!" Lory hastily warned them.
