Prime Originator

Chapter 462 - Faelyn's Blush

"Hmph! You are just spouting nonsense to dodge the question. There's no way you can know something like that unless you have some divine clairvoyance skill." Princess Thessalia snorted.

"I do have something like that." Leon shrugged.

"Sister!"

Princess Faelyn begged her third eldest sister at the same time, causing Princess Thessalia to snort in silence.

Princess Thessalia could not understand why her baby sister would have such great trust in this human prince from the Human Domain.

'Don't tell me, my baby sister like this man? Impossible! That cannot happen. I will not allow a human to taint our royal elven blood!' Princess Thessalia mentally swore.

Unaware of her third eldest sister's thoughts, Princess Faelyn shortly turned to Leon and asked, "Can you tell how big the underground passageway is and where the rats are headed?"

"My detection range is still limited. I am unable to gauge how big the underground passageway is." Leon shook his head and said, "However, I do know where the rats are heading. The underground passageway is leading them towards the center of the forest."

"Towards the center of the forest?" Princess Faelyn mulled over his words with a wrinkled expression.

The center of the forest was where their Elven Tribe, Elvengarde, was located along with the Elder Tree. If the rats were heading towards there via the underground passageway, then…

"Does Elvengarde have any entrances connected to the subterranean world?" Leon asked Princess Faelyn with a wondering look.

If there was, it would only spell disaster for the elven tribe, especially if they cannot be warned in time.

Princess Faelyn shortly shook her head, "Not that I know of."

Plop!

A fresh piece of shredded rat flesh splattered on the ground not far from the group, causing them mild surprises.

It was not long before several more pieces of fresh rat chunks landed by their feet with soft thuds, followed by the rain of rat blood.

Aria conjured a barrier of ice-lightning to shield herself and Leon from the downpour, while Third Princess Thessalia covered Faelyn with a huge green banana leaf she had quickly summoned.

At the same time, an elven warrior's cry could be heard shouting over, "Your Highness, we won't be able to contain them within the cage for much longer! There are too many of them!"

"Commence the next step of the plan immediately! Team two will fall back and erect a bigger cage while team one will continue to hold on until team two completes the construction!" Princess Thessalia quickly hollered her commands with a solemn look.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Shortly after, Princess Thessalia gazed back at Leon and stated, "If Prince Leon and Miss Aria are not here to help, then please return to the tribe with my little sister at once. Do not get in my way. I do not have the time to entertain you all any longer!"

"Sister, I can help!" Princess Faelyn shouted as Princess Thessalia prepared to return to the top of the trees to assist the elven warriors in slaughtering the rats and ease their pressure.

Princess Thessalia shot a glance back and said, "It's too dangerous here! Go back to the tribe! You won't be able to help much with your current cultivation level!"

"But I am also a 9-Star Ranked Awakener like you now, sister!" Princess Faelyn argued.

"Oh?"

Princess Thessalia was forced to do a double glance and inspect her baby sister's cultivation. She was surprised that it was true.

However, she still shook her head and said, "A 9-Star Rank Awakener is still not enough! Even a Transcendent's strength might not be enough! The rat tide is too big, while an individual's strength is limit! My word is final. Go back now!"

Princess Thessalia did not spare another second and immediately shot to the top of the trees, leaving Princess Faelyn and the others behind.

Princess Faelyn shortly sighed.

"Your sister seems rather rude and blunt, but she does mean well for you. Seems like your sisterly relationship is quite strong." Leon patted Faelyn on the shoulder and consoled her.

Princess Faelyn nodded, "I know. I hope my sister had not offended you two. She can be quite crude and pedantic, but she is a good person at heart."

Faelyn's eyes flickered with resolve, undeterred by her sister's words as she had her own ideas on helping with the problem at hand.

Although her sister's word rang true about an individual's strength being limited in the current situation, it did not apply to everyone.

Her third eldest sister's mindset was too rigid to be persuaded with a few words.

Seeing the look in Princess Faelyn's eyes, Leon smiled wryly with a shake of his head, "It seems my words were unnecessary."

"I still have to thank you for your kind intentions." Princess Faelyn said with a smile.

Very shortly, her expression turned serious as she suddenly grabbed both of Leon's hands. She looked him in the eyes and pleaded, "Can you help us?"

She believed that Leon would be able to help her people. He had too many mysterious abilities—not to mention one of them being fire, which the rats were very afraid of.

Leon was surprised by Faelyn's boldness in holding his hands. However, he recovered quickly and gave his answer, "Of course!"

Even so, he did not release Faelyn's hands immediately.

Her hands gave him a soft and cooling sensation, making them feel very pleasant to the touch. He could not help but give them a few rubs with his thumbs.

"Thank you…"

Faelyn retracted her hands immediately, feeling embarrassed and shy at the same time. She averted eyes with a deep blush, unable to look at Leon directly.

"Hmm…"

Aria hummed at the side, giving Leon an inexplicable look. Her expression was indecipherable.

Leon was shortly startled, knowing whether Aria was jealous or mad by his interaction with Princess Faelyn just now.

"Ahem." Leon coughed, pretending not to notice before he said, "Well then, I'll go help now."

Shortly after, he flew up to the top of vine walls.
