Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 540 - 299: The Five Authorities, Invitation from the Lokeshi Empire

Chapter 540: Chapter 299: The Five Authorities, Invitation from the Lokeshi Empire

Just like that, the Sword Master left Louis’s residence with inexplicable emotions.

As he left, he was still pondering where this newfound Sword Saint of the Ense Empire got his confidence from?

But obviously, he most likely wouldn’t see him again.

To deal such a blow to the Sword Master wasn’t a sparring match, it was a provocation of grave-dancing level.

It’s like a foreign kid living in China for a few years, then shouting "I want foreigners dead" in front of his parents, getting a beating is only normal.

Wait, he has Old Deng, there’s no way he’d get beaten!

But he wisely kept this thought to himself.

Such a mighty move should be reserved for that group of Abyssal Church followers to enjoy.

The next day, Louis and Olivia left Tunisia.

Before leaving, he met Joseph Williams.

The little guy had a tired smile on his face and said, "Your Highness Louis, it’s been a pleasure working with you."

Louis looked at Joseph in surprise.

Not sure if this little guy meant he enjoyed working with "Louis," or with "Mayer."

But he had no reaction to it.

For those who frequently interacted with him, it wasn’t so easy to hide the relationship between Mayer and Louis.

Or rather, Louis wasn’t much concerned about hiding it now.

The number of people who could approach and frequently interact with him was already small.

If it got leaked out, it would actually make it easier to weed out traitors.

If they’re not traitors, with their intelligence, they shouldn’t be unable to understand Louis’s intent to conceal.

If someone were really as naïve as a young swan, he would specifically give them a heads-up.

Um... for some reason, he suddenly thought of the Sword Master who had already returned to the Lokeshi Empire.

Why did he specifically emphasize something to him before?

The Sword Master sneezed hard, pinched his nose, and said, "Who’s gossiping about me? Aren’t they afraid of getting cut?"

The accompanying staff wiped the sweat from their forehead, looking distressed, and said:

"Sir, the matter of you provoking major sovereign nations at the Noble Council has come up, perhaps you should think about how to explain it to His Majesty when you return?"

The Sword Master snorted and said, "Explain what? My sword is the explanation. If any representatives of various powers have complaints, then come fight me, I won’t refuse any challengers."

The staff member eerily said, "What if someone calls in the Emperor?"

The Sword Master stiffened his neck, angrily saying, "I didn’t provoke anyone from Ense, the Emperor wouldn’t act against me for this."

The staff member fell silent.

Dear, how do you manage to say such timid words with such a dangerously charming tone?

Also, dear, although the Emperor is very powerful, he’s not a good person, nor does he have the demeanor of the world’s number one.

After defeating those few top-notch nation leaders and demigods back then, he was already indisputably the first among the stars.

Yet he still loved to spar and nearly hammered all the demigods across nations.

If he fought the Sword Master for the sake of a good son-in-law, it would also make sense.

Understanding this point, the Sword Master sat silently in the carriage.

"The Emperor wouldn’t be that unreasonable, right?"

"Who knows?"

...

[Location: Tino City, Ense Empire]

Beatrice looked at Louis affectionately and said, "I’m just glad you’re back."

Louis, amused yet bothered, said, "Didn’t I inform you right away that I was okay when I left the battlefield?"

Beatrice shook her head and said, "It’s not the same, is it? You must have over-exerted yourself again. After you came back through the painting door and told me you were fine, you didn’t contact me for two straight days, don’t tell me you were perfectly alright."

Louis paused, unsure of what to say.

There was indeed something, and indeed he was hurt, and also...

He hugged Beatrice tightly in his arms.

Gratitude was real, cherishing was real, wanting to hold her was real...

Feeling guilty was also real.

Beatrice muttered, "You seem clingier today than usual."

"I’m not, I just suddenly miss you a lot." Louis earnestly said.

But as soon as he said it, it led Beatrice to misunderstand.

After all, ahem~ the two of them had long entered into post-wedding activities, and it’s no wonder Beatrice immediately thought of that aspect.

Louis hadn’t initially been thinking in that direction, but seeing his lover’s flushed cheeks, he couldn’t help but lean forward.

A tiny sound suddenly came from inside the carriage.

Without her permission, who would dare open the Eldest Princess’s carriage?

Thus, in the carriage, a scene of decadent lips intertwining began to spread.

Quite some time passed.

Beatrice finally felt that conducting such improper actions under the broad daylight was indeed against the etiquette, so she gently nudged Louis, who was nibbling on her collarbone with his canine teeth, and said:

"Let’s hold back a bit, and talk when we get back?"

Louis smiled with curved eyes and said, "What, aren’t you afraid of Qian finding out anymore?"

Beatrice’s expression was slightly embarrassed.

Previously, when she was having fun with Louis, Qian accidentally discovered them, and for a while, Qian kept looking at her with eyes saying, "when will you bear children for the royal family."

That look was so expectant that Beatrice constrained herself a lot after returning to the country.

In fact, she also knew that these things were unavoidable.

Qian was Beatrice’s personal guard, her mission was to protect her safety at all times, which meant they ate and drank together, rarely separating.

Moreover, Beatrice knows that Qian is different from William under Louis’s command.
