Chapter 141: 140 The real modern hero (Please subscribe! Asking for Monthly tickets!)
A celebration that lasted nearly half an hour finally came to an end.
But as the Knight Order began to disperse the crowd and have people leave in an orderly fashion, most still looked as though they were not quite ready to depart.
This situation was genuinely stupefying.
“Her Highness the Princess merely showed her face…”
Merica said, tilting her head, unable to comprehend.
“And… And Her Highness seems to make an appearance every day, right? Are they this excited every single day?”
Lu Muya seemed somewhat afraid, apparently intimidated by the crowd’s enthusiasm.
Yet, just as the two of them said, Her Highness the Princess only came out to show her face, not even speaking a word, and her stay was less than a few minutes. But the sight of her sent the people into such a state of fervid excitement, which was indeed too exaggerated.
However, neither Vivian nor Tielle thought this way at all.
“If you lived in the Royal Capital you would know that person is indispensable to the people,” Vivian said. “From the birth of Her Highness the Princess, one miraculous achievement after another has been constantly spreading from the Royal Palace, passed on by word of mouth in every street and alley, and this has continued for over a decade. It’s not just the young people and children, but even people of the older generation are deeply moved and worship her from their hearts.”
“Do you know why she is called the modern Hero?” Tielle added quietly. “It is not only because she is extraordinarily talented, but also because like the Heroes of the past, there are always new rumors and heroic tales about her, and each of those feats are considered impossible.”
Under such circumstances, who could help but genuinely admire that Princess?
For nearly twenty years, everyone had lived in the shadow of her heroic achievements, growing up alongside them. Even the most apathetic person would be moved, wouldn’t they?
“Moreover, one of the Three Great Goddesses has blessed her. This favor in the past could only be bestowed upon Heroes. With that, who wouldn’t look upon Her Highness the Princess with special regard?” Vivian said with a smile. “Let alone the Human Race, even the high-ranking members of the Divine Race have to show respect to the Princess. Do you think, with such status, she would not be treated specially?”
“If it were just that, it might be one thing, but the most important aspect is her exceptional beauty that even the Goddesses envy. It’s impossible for people not to go mad over it,” Tielle turned to face the open terrace and said slowly, “All these feats combined make her the Kingdom’s treasure, a precious existence cherished by all within the Kingdom.”
“I remember when the Princess was ten years old, the Divine Race even sent numerous high-ranking members to invite her to the Divine World, intending to accept her as a resident of the Divine World,” Vivian sighed. “Sadly, she declined. Otherwise, she might have become the first Human to reside in the Divine World.”
“That’s exactly it,” Tielle nodded and continued, “Now, the Princess has become a hotly desired individual across the entire Kingdom and the whole Human Realm. Those who hope to be betrothed to her include not only nearly all sons of the Noble Families in our Kingdom but also Princes from foreign lands and key figures from other races. It is said that many among the Demon Clan are infatuated with Her Highness, and there is certainly no shortage of Demons who have asked the King for her hand in marriage.”
These achievements, when heard, sounded like a dream, unbelievable.
But both Lu Muya and Merica dared not refute.
Because they could not.
Setting aside other matters, Her Highness the Princess’s breathtaking beauty alone truly had enough merit to stir such interest and tumult.
Facing the Princess, even Merica felt somewhat inferior.
In light of this, both Lu Muya and Merica couldn’t help but yearn inwardly, their eyes revealing a touch of longing.
The two had not been completely ignorant of the deeds connected to Her Highness the Princess.
Vivian and Tielle had mentioned the Princess more than once in the presence of others, and both Lu Muya and Merica knew of the Princess’s existence. Until today, they had always treated it as something from another world, without any real sense of its significance. Today, they finally deeply understood everything.
And Shane, who had been silent all this time, also lifted his head.
“In the past, you all would mention from time to time that there was someone in the Kingdom even more talented than Tielle. That person is…?”
Shane tentatively asked that question.
And naturally, it elicited a response.
“That’s right, it’s that princess,” Tielle said with an indifferent tone, “Her talent is indeed extraordinary, far beyond what I can compare.”
Tielle’s statement was met with a laugh from Vivian.
“You’re being too modest, Tielle,” Vivian immediately said, “In the entire kingdom, even throughout the whole Human Realm, you are the only one who can be mentioned in the same breath as that Princess, and that’s something she herself has acknowledged, you know?”
To speak of nothing else but levels, that Princess had reached Level 60 by the time she came of age, something no one in the Human Realm had achieved.
But what about Tielle?
Although she hadn’t reached that point yet, she was already Level 59 and close to advancing to Level 60. Barring any accidents, she should be able to achieve that this year.
How old was Tielle, then?
That was just one year later than the Princess.
Therefore, Vivian believed that, in terms of talent and potential, Tielle wasn’t much inferior to the Princess.
However, Tielle herself didn’t see it that way.
“Level is just one aspect of strength, even if I’m not far behind her in this regard, it doesn’t necessarily apply to other areas.”
Tielle shook her head, analytically.
“For instance, the Magical Sword skill—I’ve only managed to raise it to Level 2 up to now, while that Princess had already acquired the Magical Sword skill at the age of thirteen and by now, I estimate she must be no less than Level 5.”
Upon hearing this, Shane, who was nearby, said nothing.
Because he knew very well that the Princess’s Magical Sword skill had already reached Level 7.
Indeed, this was not something Tielle could compete with.
“I don’t have any Unique Skills.”
“Yet that Princess not only was born with a Unique Skill, but the strength of that Unique Skill is even considered to be at least on par with her ancestor, the Hero who defeated the Demon King a thousand years ago.”
Hearing this, Shane reacted once again.
“A Unique Skill on par with the Hero from a thousand years ago?”
Could it mean that if the Holy Sword he had just seen was real, then that Princess would be equivalent to possessing both the Holy Sword and a Unique Skill?
This was a big deal indeed.
