#169 - Section 169
It must be said that this maiden, pure with a touch of naivety, possessed a body that seemed like a natural performer.
Calling it a born seductive physique wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Her learning ability was exceptionally strong, capable of automatically adjusting frequency and direction based on the body's reactions.
Without any prior learning or experience, she seemed to instinctively grasp this ability.
Her adaptability was extremely high, with an obedience that lacked any rebellious thoughts; this docility was even more obedient than a trained pet.
Her body's reactions were intense, and she would proactively cater to your desires.
Without any complaints, even when covered in marks, she would look at you with a pure smile on her face.
What normal man could resist such temptation?
"Angel, there's so much morning dew."
Looking at the Life Dew on her hands, Airo carefully placed it all into her mouth, even cleaning her fingers and the Tree of Life thoroughly.
Although she didn't know what Life Dew was, she knew from the previous reactions of the fairies that it must be an extremely precious treasure.
Therefore, not a single drop could be wasted.
With powerful suction, she cleaned the remaining dew from the Tree of Life.
Rhode took a deep breath, looking at Airo's seductive and charming expression.
Slightly parting her lips, she lightly licked the corner of her mouth, unintentionally revealing a tantalizing charm in her innocent eyes.
What a Holy Grail!
If it weren't for the fact that the time wasn't right, he would have taught this Holy Grail a lesson.
Letting her experience what true passion meant.
He led Airo out of the room.
"Grand Knight Rhode, how was it?"
Count Yarmann, who had been waiting anxiously, looked at Rhode with anticipation and nervousness.
He didn't know if the curse on his daughter had been cleansed.
"Only a portion has been cleansed; with a few more times, the curse should be completely purified."
Rhode said with a calm expression.
The curse cannot be completely removed before it fully erupts.
He was currently only suppressing it with the Life Dew; to completely break the curse, he would have to wait until it erupted.
Although Count Yarmann was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on his face when he heard that there was a chance to completely remove the curse.
Needing time didn't matter, as long as the curse could be completely purified.
"The King can prepare himself; in a few hours, I will take the Princess to the Auston Kingdom."
Rhode casually reminded him.
Airo was currently wearing ordinary clothes and couldn't attend the ball in that state.
Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the entire Yarmann Kingdom.
"Right, I almost forgot about that!"
Count Yarmann reacted and immediately ordered people to prepare a formal dress and an escort team for the journey.
The journey of a kingdom's princess required at least a dozen knights to escort her.
An exquisite carriage and high-end formal dresses were also indispensable.
Preparing these things would take at least half a day.
While waiting, Rhode inquired about the situation of Queen Frannie.
He was quite interested in any being with extraordinary power.
What's more, she was a witch proficient in black magic.
He didn't know what misfortune Count Yarmann had encountered to provoke such a troublesome character.
If a witch of this level of power were to unleash her magic without regard for anything, it would be enough to plunge the entire Yarmann Kingdom into eternal damnation.
The reason she hadn't done so was either because there were restrictions binding her power.
Or she was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to slaughter so many civilians.
However, Rhode felt that the former was more likely.
After all, from this Queen's actions, it was clear that she was a woman who would use any means to achieve her goals.
Such a person would not care about the lives of ordinary civilians as long as she achieved her goals.
"I don't know much about Frannie's situation; when I was with her, I never knew she was an evil witch."
Count Yarmann shook his head; that was indeed true.
After all, in the Southern Continent, witches were something that most people detested and rejected.
Not to mention avoiding them like snakes, but no noble would marry a witch to be their wife.
Witches were heretics, forbidden by the Church; once discovered, they must be purged.
If any noble married a witch to be his wife, the entire kingdom was likely to face the cleansing of the Church's Holy Cross Knight Order once the Church discovered it.
At that time, even the royal family would be in trouble.
In severe cases, even his position as king would be removed.
Don't doubt it; in the Southern Continent, the Church's position was so lofty.
Even the emperor, who was high above, had to bow his head before the Church.
The new emperor's succession also needed to be recognized and approved by the Church before he was qualified to be crowned as the new emperor.
Therefore, if he had known that Frannie was a witch, no matter how beautiful she was, Count Yarmann would not have been moved at all back then.
Just like now, the Marquisate of Chris, where Frannie was located, was not a country in the Southern Continent.
But a marquis noble on the border of the Northern Shenluo Empire.
Within the Northern Shenluo Empire, the Church's influence was extremely low, even suppressed by all levels of society.
Witches were a persecuted group in the Southern Continent, but they were a sought-after existence in the Northern Continent.
Especially those witches who could concoct magic potions, predict the future, and master special abilities.
They were even honored guests of the major nobles.
Moreover, the atmosphere in the Northern Shenluo Empire was more open; even women had the right to inherit a country's title and territory.
Now, Frannie had not only become a queen but also controlled the power of a marquisate.
Therefore, she had the right to launch a war with the Yarmann Kingdom.
Strictly speaking, this collision between the two countries could be said to be a local friction between the Southern Continent and the Northern Continent.
This kind of situation often happened in countries located on the border.
However, facing such a powerful opponent as the Marquisate of Chris, the small nobles around the Yarmann Kingdom simply didn't have the guts to intervene.
"How is the strength of the Marquisate of Chris?"
Rhode raised an eyebrow and asked casually.
If Airo became queen, even for his own benefit, he would have to help Count Yarmann repel the invasion of the Marquisate of Chris.
After all, in his eyes, the Yarmann Kingdom was basically his private property.
How could he let others take advantage of it?
Although there was no difference between a marquisate and a kingdom in his eyes.
However, it was good to know your enemy.
Understanding the strength of the Marquisate of Chris in advance was good to be mentally prepared.
"Although Chris is a marquisate, its strength is ordinary."
"When Marquis Chris was alive, he never had any sense of existence. It wasn't until Frannie became queen that this country went crazy and constantly launched wars with other countries."
"Whether it was the Southern Continent or the Northern Continent, all the surrounding countries had been invaded by her, and each time there were huge casualties. However, for some reason, the Marquisate of Chris's troops seemed to be endless and never depleted."
Count Yarmann didn't go into detail, but it could be seen from the expression on his face that he had lost his son.
He must have been targeted a lot.
"The only famous thing might be Marquis Chris's daughter."
Suddenly, Count Yarmann mentioned something.
"I heard that the princess named Snow White has skin that is whiter than snow."
Snow White?
Rhode, who had been somewhat absent-minded, was immediately stunned.
Snow White.
The evil stepmother queen.
Good heavens, could there be a connection?
Rhode looked at Count Yarmann with a strange expression.
He really didn't expect that Count Yarmann's ex-girlfriend was actually Snow White's stepmother.
This relationship was really a bit of a mess.
Rhode rubbed his head with a headache.
This was too much of a coincidence.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise came.
The entire palace hall trembled violently.
What's going on?
Rhode frowned, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared outside the palace hall, looking up at the sky.
Immediately, a dark shadow enveloped all sight.
Rhode looked at the dense, countless black crows forming a dark cloud in the sky, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Black magic!
Although it looked like a flock of crows, these crows exuded strong magic fluctuations.
The flock of crows caused the hard palace hall to shake with each impact.
This kind of power was not something a flock of crows could possess.
To possess such terrifying magic, it was probably that Snow White's evil stepmother queen.
"It doesn't seem like human magic."
Rhode muttered softly.
Even if humans cultivated black magic, it wouldn't be so evil and dark.
Moreover, he felt a familiar aura from this magic.
It seemed a bit similar to the power on the succubus he sacrificed last time.
Although it wasn't the same kind of demon, judging from the aura, this power was definitely demonic power.
