Chapter 259 - Foolish Portal Guards



“Two people appeared from the portal of the Larken Clan! One of them wields a sword! The Larken Clan is rebelling against the Imperial Family, kill them!”

A middle-aged man shouted while running towards Yale with a spear in his hands. Immediately others followed him and also attacked Yale.

Those men barely qualified as members of the Imperial Family; they almost had no relationship with them, so they relied upon military merits to retain their positions.

They had been told that it was possible that traitors to appear from the portals and that in such case they needed to contact their superiors and activate the formations to suppress them until the elders arrived.

When they saw Yale, who had the Space-time Judgment Sword in hand, they thought that he was a traitor and that the Larken Clan head had betrayed the empire.

Before those men reached the place where Yale and Lashar had appeared after exiting the portal, a formation appeared to suppress both them. Even a Sage Rank expert would have difficulties moving in such a situation, so those guards were bold enough to attack despite knowing that the head of the Larken Clan was there.

They didn’t need to attack because their orders were only waiting for the elders after having suppressed them, but they wanted to gather some merits by killing those intruders by themselves.

However, they underestimated Lashar because she was already a Law Master and that formation barely could affect her; there was an enormous gap between a Sage Rank expert and a Law Master.

Moreover, even Yale wasn’t affected in the slightest; he didn’t do anything to resist, but the Space-time Judgment Sword also seemed to have control over the formation and avoided that Yale was affected.

Those middle-aged men were at the Expert Rank, with only one of them having reached the Master Rank; they could be easily killed by Lashar at any moment since the formation didn’t suppress her.

“I will block them until someone with more brain appears; it is better if we don’t kill them immediately and let Revgen judge them later.”

After seeing that those guards had targeted them, Yale transmitted that message to Lashar by Spiritual Sense, and she nodded to that suggestion.

“Alright, but if I detect that you are in any type of danger, I will cripple all of them.”

Lashar didn’t want to look for problems with the Imperial Family, but they were the first to attack with killing intent, and she still didn’t plant to kill them in the case she retaliates after Yale would have failed to block them.

Yale immediately activated the Origin Sword Bloodline and the Origin Death Bloodline and then he used Bloodline Force with all his bloodlines.

The Origin Bloodlines were far more powerful than the other bloodlines, so using them to activate the skill made it far more effective, instead of multiplying his stats for five due to having four bloodlines, his stats multiplied by seven.

With such increase, his stats were already at the point that one would need to reach the 5-star Expert Rank to reach them by normal means.

Of course, Yale couldn’t sustain that battle power for too long, but he just planned to win time until someone more reasonable appeared.

Yale was using the casual sword style to deal with those men, as that was a style created to delay the battles despite being strong enough to kill someone who isn’t prepared enough.

“Why is this youngster so strong? Why aren’t the reinforcements already here?”

The man at the Master Rank had a gloomy face because he never expected that the man in front of him was able to battle unaffected by the formation. That had been a huge mistake, and the first slash of Yale had injured him a bit due to being careless.

“We already contacted them, but they were in a meeting with the princess, so they will need some time to come here. That little girl is too arrogant just by having been taught by the emperor himself.”

That princess had a status only second to the emperor since the emperor had trained her personally. Moreover, the emperor had spoken very well about her talent and, he had announced to everyone that in the Imperial Family she was the one with the highest possibilities of turning a Law Master in her life.

Thus, almost everyone had the utmost respect for the princess; the exceptions were those who were jealous of her and thought that without the emperor’s teaching she would be just a normal girl despite being fairly talented.

“You shall stop attacking, you can’t beat me, and this is a misunderstanding.”

Yale tried to speak with them when they stopped to talk among themselves, but they ignored his words and attacked again.

“They are truly fools, they stopped in the midst of the battle to talk, and I didn’t kill them. Wasn’t’ that enough proof that I don’t want to kill them?”

Yale couldn’t avoid thinking about the mental problems of those men that had taken their own conclusions and closed the eyes to the truth.

A minute later, the elders finally arrived at that room and were ready to assist the guards, but they stopped when saw that Yale didn’t seem to have been putting any effort in the fight and was trying to avoid harming those guards.

The guards looked to the elders and then attacked Yale with even more strength to show their prowess to the elders.

“Stop.”

A cold and calm voice could be clearly heard in all the room; that was the voice of the princess, who had accompanied those elders to see the supposed traitors that were attacking the Imperial Palace.

After all, the elders with her were all Grandmaster Rank or Sage Rank; there wasn’t any need to fear any of the noble clans.

The guards heard her, but they continued to attack; they thought that the princess wanted to steal their moment to get a good impression from the elders.

“Elders. Arrest these guards. The reason is high treason.”

The elders knew that their princess was a girl of few words despite having improved a lot in the latter years, but they weren’t able to understand that order to arrest the guards despite suspecting that there was something amiss in that situation.

“That man is Yale. My friend.”

Those words shocked the elders, not because their princess had a friend, but because she had very few of them and the elders knew all of them, Yale included.

“Yale? The one who sacrificed himself to let you exit the special realm and also killed the traitors that had gone to the special realm?”

The princess nodded; she could still recognize Yale after those six years, and the sword in his hand was the same he obtained in the special realm back then, so there was no way she could mistake him with someone else.

The faces of the elders turned serious; Yale was the benefactor of their princess and saved her life six years ago. Thus, the fact that some guards were trying to kill him after he reached the Imperial Palace was the most shameless act the Imperial Family could do to repay Yale’s kindness to the princess six years ago.

Moreover, those guards disobeyed the order from the princess to stop: previously it could have been just a misunderstanding but disobeying the princess and trying to kill her benefactor was a huge crime of treason.

The next second, the guards had been already captured and tied down by the elders; their speed was astonishing.

“You had disobeyed the princess. From now on you are deprived of your status and will be sent to jail until your trial for high treason to the Imperial Family.”

When one of the elders spoke, the faces of those guards changed; they had never thought that they would be accused of treason for attacking traitors.

“Why? Attacking the traitors is our duty!”

A guard tried to defend himself, but he knew that they had only to report it, attacking wasn’t something mandatory for them; they just did it thinking in obtaining merits.

“Traitors? That man is the friend of our princess, and she owes her life to him. You tried to kill the benefactor of our princess even after she had told you to stop. How can this not be high treason?”

The guards were speechless after hearing the elder; they couldn’t believe their bad luck because even they knew that the princess had only a few friends, but she valued them a lot despite the cold expression she showed to everyone.

Yale looked towards the princess who had spoken in his behalf and smiled.

“Nurvey, I am glad to see you again.”
