Chapter 843 The Princess Arrives
Lu Yu’s question almost made the man beside him choke on his water.
“Bro, now I’m 100% sure you aren’t from the Lionheart Empire. Elizabeth as the Empress? You can’t make this up even in your dreams!”
“Is it that impossible?”
“Nonsense. How many of her trusted aides are in the royal family? How many n.o.ble families in the palace are on her side?”
“It’s wishful thinking to expect her to play tricks with those old foxes to seize the throne.”
He let out a long sigh. In his opinion, if Elizabeth could really become Empress, it might be a good thing for the Lionheart Empire.
Lu Yu did not say anything else. It seemed that this matter was impossible in the eyes of others.
“Bro, this is my name card. Let’s be friends. You’re not from the Lionheart Kingdom, but you’re still sitting in this seat.”
He smiled and handed over his name card. It was made of pure gold and engraved with some words.
Lu Yu took it and saw that the person’s name was Stone Omar.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Stone. My name is Lu Yu, and I’m from the Freedom Federation.”
“I was wondering where you were from. Since there’s no way you are from the Lionheart Empire.”
He smiled and extended his hand.
Lu Yu shook his hand and smiled faintly.
The man named Stone was dressed lavishly, but he was a little old. There were some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his hair was not blonde. Instead, it was black like Lu Yu’s.
At this moment, the surroundings gradually quieted down.
Immediately, everyone’s gaze turned toward the entrance of the colosseum.
The gates slowly opened, and a carriage was lifted by a dozen strong men in armor.
These were knights in silver armor and helmets. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but they were loyal to the royal family.
The carriage was made of mahogany, and the curtains and door curtains were made of pink silk with beautiful flower embroidery.
The entire carriage appeared simple and did not have excessive jewelry. It was completely different from that of the nouveau riche.
Soon, the knights carried the carriage to a cleared s.p.a.ce.
Then, a woman came out of the carriage.
The moment she appeared, everyone’s eyes focused on her.
Most of them had heard of the Eldest Princess’s beauty, and they couldn’t wait to witness her arrival.
Isabel stretched out her slender legs and came down from the carriage.
Her slender figure gave off the feeling of a mature older sister. Her face was cold and arrogant as if she were constantly looking down on all living beings.
After witnessing Isabel’s peerless beauty, everyone’s hearts started to beat faster. Many people even felt that they had met their true love.
Her beauty instantly captured the hearts of countless people.
However, they were quickly brought back to reality by Elizabeth’s cold and arrogant expression. They all knew that not everyone was worthy of the Empire’s princess.
Lu Yu looked over and saw Isabel lying on the bench with one hand on her cheek. She was looking calmly into the colosseum.
The maid beside her prepared fruits and snacks and fed them to her personally.
If the maid were slightly negligent, she would be stared at by her cold gaze and tremble in fear.
“This woman is beautiful, but her personality is too cold. It’s as if she can’t stand anyone around her.”
Lu Yu couldn’t help but complain.
Stone smiled and said, “She also has the strength. In this world, not many young people are worthy of her. She is strong, young, and Platinum-ranked. How terrifying.”
Platinum-ranked was not high, of course, when compared to Lu Yu.
Even compared to Han Xuefei, Isabel was still inferior.
Of course, Isabel had the resources of an entire country, so her cultivation speed was not surprising.
“Does she rarely come out?”
“The palace is much more interesting than the outside world. Under normal circ.u.mstances, she wouldn’t come out.”
“But of course, Elizabeth would come out occasionally to visit the commoners. Many of us are familiar with Elizabeth.”
“In the hearts of those people, Elizabeth is an absolute G.o.ddess.”
“What a pity,” Stone couldn’t help but sigh. “Someone like her won’t be able to fight for any power in the royal family.”
Lu Yu nodded in agreement, as he knew this.
If you didn’t have a bit of ruthlessness, you would not be able to stand up in such a place.
At that moment, the host walked up on stage. He held the microphone and roared loudly, “Now, our warriors are ready. Let’s invite the first person to come on stage and bring us a brutal, primitive, and b.l.o.o.d.y beast fighting tournament!!”
After he shouted, his blood rushed up, and he slammed the microphone to the ground.
Immediately after, the entire stadium cheered enthusiastically.
The noise around Isabel made her unhappy, so a few knights built a temporary soundproof wall.
Lu Yu looked at the field and saw a figure slowly walking out.
It was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. He was wearing silver armor and holding a battle axe.
He walked up with a serious expression and looked around.
Rumble…
With a rumble, an iron gate slowly rose.
Rustling footsteps could be heard in the darkness.
Soon, a head poked out from the shadows.
A giant lizard walked out of the prison.
It looked at the fighter and stuck out its forked tongue, its eyes staring fixedly at him.
“A beginner F-level beast is a piece of cake!”
He declared confidently, then rushed forward with his battle axe!
Soon, an intense battle began. The heavy axe swung and chopped, shattering the scales and flesh of the lizard.
The giant lizard was not weak either, biting furiously at the challenger.
The battle between the two sides was fierce and dangerous, and the audience cheered endlessly.
In the audience, Han Xuefei looked at Lu Yu and said, “Do you want to go up and fight?”
Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, “What’s the point? I’ll be able to defeat everything if I go up. I think you can go up and show your skills instead of me.”
“However, the challengers for today have already been fixed, no?”
“Of course not,” Stone quickly added in. “If you’re interested in partic.i.p.ating in the tournament, you can tell the organizers. They’re more than happy to have a few more partic.i.p.ants.”
“Right, I must remind you that if you are injured or killed in the challenge, there will be no compensation. You have to be careful, as they don’t care about the life and death of a challenger.”
Lu Yu looked at Han Xuefei. “Do you want to partic.i.p.ate? You can try.”
Han Xuefei pursed her lips. “I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well partic.i.p.ate. If I can get first place, I might be able to get a good prize.”
