Chapter 50: Trouble At Lunch Part Three
Since she asked for it, I granted her, her wish and slapped her as hard as I could. The results? She went flying across the private room and smashed into a wall face first. It seemed my strength was much higher now after my fitness stat had gone up. All the rich noble ladies behind her all gasped in surprise as Princess Feia cut a sorry figure slumped over on the floor in a daze. Her cheek that she so nicely shined for me was now a red swollen ball and blood seemed to be coming out of her mouth and nose.
"You! How could you do that to the princess!?" One of the noble ladies yelled at me.
But in response, I tilted my head and looked at her with a confused expression I mean she practically begged me to slap her. All I was doing was giving her what she wanted. "Ummm… Did you not hear what she said? She said 'give it all you got', so I only granted her wish. What have I done wrong? I mean, as a princess, wouldn't she have a bunch of secret guards following her? None of them came forward to stop me, so my guess is that I am not in the wrong here."
"You! But... Uhg…" The Noble girl could not refute my words and quickly stopped talking. Instead, she ran over to the princess to see how she was doing.
Thinking for a moment realizing that I did just hit royalty I looked over at a certain corner of the hall and said: "Mr. Princess's secret guard, can you come and confirm what I said please."
A figure appeared from the shadows looking at me with a strange look. "To think you were able to detect me… Looks like I need more training."
Truthfully, the system had told me he was there. With the secret guard's skills, I was way too green in the ways of magic to even figure out he was there. I might have overpowered skills but my current ability of usage was not all that good just yet. Over time I hoped to be on par with that of the masters but that was far into the future.
"I just want to know why you did not step out?" I asked. I was surprised since normally a guard of any kind would stop this from happening no matter how bad their master is.
"Well, to be honest, there are two reasons. First was because she asked you to hit her with all you had and second was because the King himself has said that if Princess causes trouble then it's fine to let her get a little beaten up as long as the Princess's life was not at risk. I could tell you had no killing intent so there was no need for me to stop your actions. If you are worried about repercussions then you can set your mind at ease and beat her up as much as you like as long as you do not kill her. As for her other guards... Good luck if she calls them." Hearing the guard's words I almost burst out laughing but this also allowed me to get a better understanding of the king. He was a very down to earth guy it seemed. If his children caused issues as long as they didn't die they could be beaten up.
"I see thank you and sorry for calling you out like that." I gave an apologetic bow and smiled. As for her personal guards, I would just deal with it when the time came.
"Not a problem my lady. I will now go back into hiding." The guard made a few hand signs and disappeared. Ninja? Is what I thought since he was wearing all black clothes and the hand signs he made were something you would see out of that famous anime tv show... Stupido? Farutoad? Narupoop? To be honest I never watched it so I forgot its name. In any case, I only remember they had ninjas that made hand signs like this guard just did.
By the time my conversation with the guard was over the Princess in question had finally come to. "My face! How dare you hit me! Who do you think you are to hit this Princess!?"
"Uhh..." I was a bit confused. Was it not her who told me to hit her? "Umm... You told me to hit you as hard as I could so I did and also… My name is Rei Lancaster currently staying at the Ronstine estate as the future madam. I am engaged to Able Ronstine."
I figured if I tossed out the Ronstine name I would at least get this Princess to back down a bit. But I guess this was wishful thinking on my part. "So you are just some lowly noble! You even have the shamelessness to say you are Sir Able's fiancee!? I have never heard anything so funny in my life!"
Here it was, the villainess at her best denying all the facts. I could only sigh as I said: "Believing my words is up to you. But everything I said was a fact. The one who reserved this for me was my mother Ruth Ronstine. You can even go to the Ronstine estate and ask about this yourself."
"Humph! You are not fit for Sir Able. You're nothing but a barbarian who uses her strength to solve her problems! Guards come and beat this slut for me!" Princess Feia looked at me mockingly. And like any Princess, she still had personal guards who were not hidden in the shadows, who would listen to all her orders. As her words fell ten guards came rushing into the room.
Sid and Claire both stood in front of me with swords drawn to protect me. I took a side glance at Princess Feia who stood to the side with a smug look on her face and her hands on her hips. I guess since the queen of bitches likes to stand out of a protection zone, it is okay for me to kidnap her, right?
