Volume 4 Chapter 272
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 272: Awakening
Kennedy was so furious he felt his lungs were about to explode.
He refused to accept this situation and was prepared to fight the Dragon clan to the bitter end.
He was clearly in the right, so why had he become the clown?!
However, just at that moment, someone stepped forward to interrupt his actions.
“That’s enough, Kennedy.”
A silver-haired Elven maiden appeared.
She was none other than the Elven Princess, Eve.
“In the name of the Elven Royal Family, I command you to stand down.”
“Princess Eve?!”
Kennedy’s eyes widened in shock.
He hadn’t expected Eve to appear on the battlefield.
He hadn’t brought Eve along on this campaign to the Holy Crimson Empire’s capital. Could it be that this princess had sneaked away from the original camp on her own?
How reckless, daring to run around like this without anyone’s protection!
But what was most unacceptable to him was that this figurehead princess had the audacity to openly challenge him in front of everyone.
“Princess Eve, what is the meaning of this?” Kennedy demanded. “Why are you giving me such an order?”
“Kennedy, can you not understand my words?” Eve said. “I am speaking to you as the heir of the Elven Royal Family, demanding you cease this foolish behavior. Do you understand!”
“Princess Eve, have you lost your senses? Matters of the battlefield are under my full authority. There is a division of expertise. Since you are an amateur in this area, I must ask you not to cause trouble!”
In his heart, Kennedy utterly despised this figurehead princess.
The military command was currently in his hands. Why should he listen to her?
He had only tolerated her because of her royal status, but now she dared to turn around and order him about!
“Kennedy, is the ‘expertise’ you refer to the kind that commands our Elven army to start a war with the Dragon clan?” Eve questioned him. “I am entrusted by Grandfather to oversee you throughout this campaign. Later, I will report your actions to Grandfather in full detail! If you start a new war here, you can be certain Grandfather will hold you accountable!”
Kennedy’s face, already battered by Xia Yi, contorted further with rage upon hearing Eve’s words.
This child was actually threatening to tattle to her grandparent?
Though he truly looked down on Eve, this immature girl could indeed represent the Elven Royal Family. By invoking the Elven King to threaten him now…
This figurehead princess showed him no face at all, leaving him with no way to save his dignity!
If he truly ordered the Elven army to attack the Dragon clan, judging by the Silver Dragon Princess’s attitude, war would likely break out. Then he would almost certainly become the sinner who dragged the Elven Kingdom into the flames of war.
There were already factions within the Elven Kingdom dissatisfied with this campaign. If such an incident occurred, he would undoubtedly face severe impeachment…
Kennedy clenched his fists so tightly his nails pierced his palms.
His face was now completely lost, both within the Elven clan and in the eyes of other clans.
He even entertained some wild thoughts for a moment, but considering all the powerful figures from various nations watching, he knew he couldn’t act recklessly and gave up.
Reason told him his priority was to find a way to preserve his position as Elven General.
“Princess Eve, I have no intention of starting a war. I was merely expressing my dissatisfaction with the Dragon clan’s actions!” Kennedy said. “The Dragon clan is humiliating our Elven clan!”
“That’s not right, Kennedy,” Eve refuted. “Xia Yi has already stated that from beginning to end, the only person she looked down upon was you. It was you who insisted on dragging the entire Elven clan into it.”
“Huh?”
Kennedy nearly spat blood.
Eve was the Elven Princess, so why was she siding with an outsider, favoring the Dragon Princess, and trying to separate him from the Elven clan?
He was utterly dumbfounded.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Princess, the Human Knight King, the Elven Princess… Why were they all defending the Silver Dragon Princess?
What was going on?!
“Princess Eve, I am the Elven General, representing the Elven clan. There is no issue with that! The Silver Dragon Princess’s disrespect towards me is disrespect towards the Elven clan. I am arguing so vehemently for the sake of the Elven clan’s honor!” Kennedy retorted.
“…Alright, I understand. Then I’ll find an opportunity later to formally issue a strong condemnation to the Dragon clan,” Eve replied dismissively.
“This…?!”
Kennedy was left speechless.
He couldn’t take it anymore, it felt as if the whole world was against him.
“Very well, then I truly… thank you, Princess Eve.”
Amidst this farce, some people couldn’t help but laugh.
“Hahaha, this Elven General truly has a talent for comedy!”
The straightforward Beastmen Tribe Chieftain roared with laughter.
“To be honest, absolutely! This Elven General’s entertainment value is off the charts!” the Troll King guffawed. “I almost thought he was a comedian by trade!”
Hearing the Beastmen Chieftain and Troll King’s sharp remarks, Kennedy gritted his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.
He thought to himself. Weren’t these two the ones controlled during the battle? How dare they criticize him like this?
Being mocked by such characters was utterly infuriating.
“Eve…”
Xia Yi looked at Eve, somewhat surprised.
She hadn’t expected Eve to appear at this moment. It seemed the Elven clan did have some reliable figures after all.
Eve also noticed Xia Yi’s gaze. Their eyes met, and the beautiful silver-haired elf smiled at her.
“Hmm?!”
Yue Liu, standing to the side, caught the subtle interaction between the two and was not pleased!
She even grew a bit anxious, hopping in front of Xia Yi to deliberately block their line of sight.
“My fated rival, what are you doing? Why are you making eyes at the Elven Princess?!”
“Making eyes?” Xia Yi was perplexed. “No, I wasn’t…”
“I saw everything!”
The little fox was frantic.
Shouldn’t her fated rival be engaging in intense eye contact with her instead?
Why was she always getting entangled with that Elven Princess!
“Mmm…”
Suddenly, Xia Yi heard a soft groan from the girl behind her.
She quickly turned around.
“The Vampire Ancestor is waking up?!” the little fox exclaimed.
Instantly, everyone fell silent, their gazes converging on the vampire girl.
Xia Yi’s heart grew tense. She didn’t know whether the person waking up now was Miu Miu or… Elizabeth?
“…”
The vampire girl opened her eyes, slowly rose to her feet, scanned her surroundings, and finally fixed her gaze on Xia Yi.
Xia Yi was just about to speak to test the waters.
However, the silver-haired vampire’s eyes suddenly shifted. She lunged toward the little princess, committing an astonishing act!
