Chapter 705: Chapter 475: Proverbs and the Princess _3

Just as Leo Ray thought of this.

On the other side, an incongruous voice suddenly rang out.

“Don’t listen to this hypocrite, who’s here to deceive people!”

At this moment, the short middle-aged woman who had been standing in the shadow of the corner and had angered the Saint Night Soldiers earlier stepped forward and sneered, “You say you’re the Fifth Princess of the Coldflame?”

The expression on the short woman’s face became even gloomier, and then she coldly said, “Well, I have to ask you, not long ago, knowing that Saint Night had already been increasing forces in this area, why didn’t your royal family take any action?”

At this point, the short woman became even more agitated and continued, “Now the war has reached here, turning the fields into graves and homes into ruins, yet you come here trying to play the savior, isn’t it a bit too late?”

For a moment, Ariel Watson’s originally smiling face suddenly froze, revealing an astonished expression.

On the side, Burt and Joshua, the two Kingdom Generals, had just taken a step forward with Leo Ray’s subtle permission, intending to defend themselves, but were stopped by Ariel herself.

“Enough! Stop talking nonsense!”

At this moment, the old man who had just spoken hurriedly interrupted the short woman’s words, frowning and saying, “It’s already a great favor for the princess to come to our rescue despite the dangers, how can you still speak so maliciously?”

After saying this, the old man couldn’t help but sigh heavily.

Not long ago, this short woman had a happy family, but now, she was left alone, so it was no wonder she made such a disrespectful move.

“Please don’t blame this woman anymore.”

After a moment of hesitation, Ariel Watson lowered her eyebrows, shook her head with a bitter smile, and said, “It is indeed because of our negligence that we have failed to fulfill our duty as protectors, and that has led to the current dire situation.”

At this point, Ariel rallied her spirits and smiled, “Now, it’s of the utmost importance for you all to leave with me first, and we’ll talk about other matters later.”

“The princess is right, we must get out of here as soon as possible!”

On the other side, the old man exchanged glances with the other elderly and weak civilians and continued, “We are willing to follow the princess and leave this place together!”

“You may be willing, but I’m not!”

At this moment, the short woman stepped forward again and sneered, “The outside must be surrounded by Saint Night’s bastards by now, what’s the difference between going out with this few people and walking into a trap?”

With a disdainful glance at Ariel Watson, the short woman continued, “It’s better to stay here, at least we have a slim chance of survival! After all, not every enemy force can find this place!”

“This…”

Upon hearing this, quite a few of the other residents who had been ready to leave together began to hesitate and waver.

Seeing this, the short woman’s face couldn’t help but reveal a smug expression, as if she had just given Ariel a resounding slap on the face.

Noticing this, just as Ariel was about to open her mouth to persuade them but felt at a loss for what to do.

On the other side, an icy and piercing voice suddenly rang out, “Woman, haven’t you had enough of this?”
