Chapter 1364
James was at a loss for words.Hearing Yelena’s complaint, he nodded and replied reasonably, “I agree with the princess. At her age, studies should be her priority. I’ve always regretted not being able to learn enough in school. As a result, I come before you as uneducated and uncultured as I am.”James deliberately lowered his status and praised Yelena, successfully resolving the awkward situation.However, Yelena was displeased with his answer.She was the royal princess of Durandal. Although she was only in her early 20s, countless nobles have proposed to her.Princes from other countries have also sent her marriage proposals.She rejected all of them.Yet, this man from Sol was the one rejecting her this time.She thought it was normal for her to reject others, but she could not accept other people rejecting her instead.“What do you mean, James? Are you implying that I’m not worthy of you?” Yelena’s fair features were full of anger as she glared at James sitting beside he

“Alright, I’ll leave that to you. Let me know when you’ve made the arrangements.”After a brief call with the founder of the Dark Castle, James hung up the phone. Then, he looked at Henry smugly and said, “It’s settled. We can rest up for now and think about what excuse we can use to leave for a few days.”“Alright.”Henry had no objections.“Go ahead and get some rest.”James was exhausted after the ten-hour flight.After a short discussion with Henry, the two took it easy in the castle.Meanwhile, in another castle of Durandal called Keyes Castle.This was the residence of the Keyes family.The Keyes were the most powerful family in Durandal. They were the nation's protectors, and almost all their family members were knights.“Are you sure?” In the castle's living room, an old man furrowed his brows as he heard Kayn’s words. “Are you saying a man from Sol caught and broke your sword with only two fingers?”“That’s it, Grandpa! Please, you have to avenge me! This Dragon

Koehler felt dispirited after recalling his defeat a hundred years ago at the hands of that ancient martial artist.That loss had haunted him ever since.After the defeat, he returned to Durandal and began to train in seclusion, to improve his skills and redeem himself.“A hundred years have passed.”Koehler sat on his chair and looked into the distance. He sighed as sadness filled his eyes. “I wonder if the person who had defeated me is still alive. He must’ve also improved significantly since then.”He understood the person who defeated him back then would not be the same and would likely have only improved since that time.All these years, he did not dare to act recklessly for this reason.He was afraid of being defeated again.“Gu Sect…” he murmured.He recalled the person who defeated him claimed to be from the Gu Sect.Koehler remembered that man’s name was Callan.A hundred years ago, his opponent was only in his 40s but wielded an inhuman strength.Koehler was alrea

Evan was shocked and spluttered. “Sir, please reconsider! The Excalibur is the symbol of our knighthood. If you give it away, our knights will lose their faith…”Koehler raised his hand and interrupted Evan.“I’ve already decided. In the past couple of centuries, no one was born with the Knight's Soul and thus no one is capable of wielding Excalibur. Anyway, I just intend for it to be a lucrative attraction. Even if I give it away, the person who gets it may not be able to wield it. I simply want a chance to fight against powerful people from all over the world before I die. It’ll be the perfect finale for my life.”“I understand. I’ll see to it immediately.”Evan did not stay long. He left as soon as he had finished talking to Koehler.Koehler walked outside and stood on the castle wall. His eyes peered into the distance.His wrinkled face was filled with resolve and determination.“This time, I want to show the world the strength of knights and prove that we’re the strongest e

James took off his military robe, changed into his casual clothes, and went to find Henry.The two discussed in the room for a while and planned to leave under the excuse of sightseeing.After the two finalized their plan, they walked out of the room together. Suddenly, a beautiful maid approached them and bowed while saying respectfully, “Dragon King, the Queen has prepared a luncheon for you.”“Alright.” James nodded.“This way, please.”The beautiful maid gestured for them to follow her. Then, she led James and Henry to the luncheon venue.This time, not many people were present.It was only the Queen and her daughter, Yelena.The meal was also much simpler than the one in the morning. Despite being much more modest than the morning banquet, the meal was still more luxurious than anything seen outside.“Your Majesty, there are still a few days before the official military exchange begins. I plan to go sightseeing and experience the cultural heritage of Durandal for myself.”

James said helplessly, “If you insist on coming with us, then we’ll have to travel more discreetly.”“Alright. I’ll arrange for it right away.”Yelena seemed excited. She immediately made a phone call, and soon a silver Rolls Royce appeared at the castle’s gates.The number on the license plate was incredibly overt and it was immediately recognizable as the car of the imperial family.“Princess, this car is still too flashy. We need to keep a low profile. Do you understand the meaning of that word?” James whispered in frustration.“Huh? Is this still too much? This is already very low-key,” Yelena replied dejectedly.“We need a cheap and common car. We’ll also need a license plate that doesn’t attract attention.”Yelena was confused by his request.After attempting to explain his intent to her several more times, Yelena finally understood. She snapped her fingers and grinned at him. “I get it!”She quickly made another phone call.This time, an ordinary vehicle approached.J

Henry kept quiet and kept driving toward the airport.Soon, they arrived and purchased three tickets to Utarbergh. Yelena wore a black hat and oversized sunglasses while waiting at the boarding gate, but those were not enough to hide her disgruntled look.As Durandal’s princess, she never had to wait to board a plane before.“Why do we have to take a commercial plane when I have a private plane? Aside from that, why do I have to dress so plainly? People can’t see my delicate features because of these cumbersome accessories. No one is paying me any mind.”James simply ignored her constant griping.If it was not for the fact that he would possibly lose an opportunity to use Durandal’s official information networks in the future, he would not have bothered entertaining Durandal’s princess and bringing her along with them. He also had no good excuse to justify leaving her behind.While waiting to board the plane, James took out his phone and reviewed the information Blake had sent

“Hey, how far more do we have to walk?”Yelena was wearing high heels and could not take it anymore. She squatted on the ground and refused to continue walking. She complained, “Why do we have to walk when we could’ve just gone by car?”“It’s right ahead. How about I get a taxi to bring you to a hotel for some rest?”As soon as he uttered those words, Yelena stood up.“Never!”She walked toward James, pouted, and said, “Don’t even think about leaving me behind!”After walking for a distance, a villa district came into sight.At that moment, a few mercenaries dressed in camouflage uniforms and armed with weapons rushed toward them, barricading their path.Seeing the approaching group of people, Yelena’s curiosity was piqued.“Wow! They’re mercenaries.”Yelena was Durandal’s Princess and had experienced all sorts of occurrences. Rather than feeling fearful, she was thrilled by the scene.“Who are you three?”A middle-aged man with a machine gun approached and scanned the tr
