Chapter 632
Surprise Attack (2)
âIf you can catch us all, Iâll reward you,â said the third princess with a joking smile.
âWhat reward? I donât want something useless,â replied Ye Lang.
âWhat do you want?â continued the third princess.
âTreat me to a meal,â said Ye Lang.
ââŠâ
Everyone expected Ye Lang to ask for something more, anything really, anything more than a meal.
âUgh, even I can treat you to a meal. You should have asked the third princess for some money or a knighthood,â said Debbie as she shook her head.
âThat means nothing to me, I donât need money nor do I need a knighthood,â said Ye Lang. He was telling the truth although the others didnât know that.
Anyone that actually knew Ye Langâs identity would agree with him. He wasnât short of money in any way, he was only short of places to spend his money. A knighthood also meant nothing to him as he himself was already a marquis. He was treated with the best hospitality anywhere he went.
âI know you have your pride but. Whatever, if youâre not willing then let it be,â said Debbie. She and Qiâer thought that Ye Lang only rejected everything because of his pride.
One could only wonder how they would have reacted if they knew the truth!!
âWhatever, you two need to leave now. Itâs better to prepare earlier. Iâll save you, damsels, from distress after an hour,â said Ye Lang with a smile.
âOk, weâll wait for you!â said Debbie with a smile as she left with the others. The brides had it easy, they didnât need to prepare anything they just needed to hang around the place they were told to stay in.
It was different for the red and blue teams, it was time for them to plot.
Ye Lang was supposed to go with the blue team with the other grooms to discuss their plans but he was nowhere to be found. The others gave up quickly in their search for him since it didnât matter if one person was lost in a team of a hundred.
The two teams didnât take much notice of his disappearance as they fell deeper into their discussions.
That was how the first unforeseen event of the day startedâŠ
Soon after the red team left, some members of the team stopped in their tracks some distance away from the square. The leaders of these people were high ranking young men if they werenât princes, they were sons of ministers. They were the leaders of the red team.
Among them was the famous prince that was basically the successor to the throne. He was sort of the crown prince of the empire but not officially since he hadnât had the ceremony yet.
This time, fate led him to the red team. He had no say in which team he was in or his teammates if he did, he would pick more familiar faces to be in the same team with him.
There were many âfriends of the crown princeâ in the blue team but they were not going to let the prince off the hook in the game. They were here to win, here to prove themselves.
The âcrown princeâ himself knew it and he knew their skills well too. Through his analysis, it was a fifty-fifty game for him and them.
He planned to use new tricks and try things people had never done. Of course, he wonât be breaking the rules.
He wanted to win honourably and not give anyone a chance to speak ill of him. It wasnât just to prove himself to the emperor, it was to prove himself for all the civilians too.
âBrother, why are we stopping?â
The third princess saw the people in front of her stopping and looking at the âcrown princeâ which was her eldest brother.
Just like the third princess, Debbie and the rest looked at him in confusion too.
âYou all continue on, the commoners and the warriors below level three will protect you! As for the rest, stay here, I have other plans,â said the prince. His voice carried a sense of authority which made it hard for people to refuse his orders.
âWhy are you all staying back?â asked Princess Hyena, âYouâre not going to protect us?â
âBrother, are you planning to do that?â asked the third princess as she thought of something.
âHyena, listen to me and go be a good bride! Third sister, yes, youâre right but you canât stay here. Itâs the rules. You have to go to the courtyard and prepare,â said the prince as he looked at the third princess.
He knew well about her abilities, she was much more capable than Hyena. Even though she liked to play around, she was amazingly competent when she was serious. It came handy when she was helping him.
However, because of the rules of the game, she couldnât help him this time.
âI shouldnât have been a bride, brother, how did you come up with this?â said the third princess with regret.
âI need to thank that poor bum youâve been talking to. I got the idea from listening to him. There isnât a rule that stops us from attacking first!â said the prince calmly.
âSo it was him. Maybe he isnât completely useless,â said the third princess. She felt that Ye Lang couldnât be able to think of something like this. He just merely inspired them, without knowing himself, coincidentally.
Thatâs right, it was a coincidence. Ye Lang didnât put much thought in his words but of course if he was in the red team that would be his plan.
Simply because it was a much more direct approach!!
âWhat are you talking about? I donât understand,â said Debbie.
âLet the third sister explain to you. Debbie, you look pretty like this!â said the prince with a smile.
It wasnât a compliment out of politeness, the prince had always favoured her over the other girls. From their few interactions, he wouldnât mind having her as a concubine.
At least she wouldnât play mind games with him!!
That being said, just because he didnât mind it didnât mean that he wanted her to be his concubine!!
