Chapter 424: - I will claim my prize



Broken and Lionell waited in a room with a round table full of food when the doors opened, and the figure they had been expecting finally entered. Broken stood as the servants lined up, bowing respectfully to the person who had arrived.

It was Princess Alora, her red hair and royal dress flowing gracefully as she stepped into the room. She moved towards Broken, who positioned himself to properly greet the princess.

"Good evening, Princess. I hope I'm not disturbing your rest by arriving so late," Broken said politely.

Alora smiled at him. "Have you been away from me so long that you've forgotten how casually you used to talk to me? What's with this formality, huh?" she teased, causing Broken to be momentarily startled before smiling back at her.

"I'm still learning how to best act as a member of the royal court. I guess I'm doing it wrong? My apologies, Princess," he replied, trying to adjust.

"Yes, you're definitely getting it wrong. I suppose you've been too busy hunting monsters to remember how to behave like a noble," she said with a smirk.

Princess Alora then took her seat across from Broken, while Lionell stood protectively behind her, ever the loyal guardian.

They continued their dinner with casual conversation, and Broken gradually eased back into the flow of Princess Alora's laid-back demeanor. Despite her high status, she exuded a natural charm and elegance that made her seem approachable, even though her royal dress and flawless appearance sometimes made Broken forget she was the same princess who had fought by his side in life-and-death battles against a Named Demon just a few months ago. "So... I heard from Lionell that you're planning an expedition into the depths of Wildwood Forest?" Alora asked, breaking his thoughts.

Broken was reminded of the upcoming expedition, a significant venture he had been preparing for.

"Yes, that's the plan, Princess," he confirmed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Interesting," Alora replied. "I'd be intrigued to join the expedition myself, but unfortunately, I'm quite occupied for the next month."

She then looked directly at Broken. "Let me know if you need more support."

More support? This is supposed to be a small expedition to hunt for a Fae Beast, isn't it? Or perhaps this journey was going to be more challenging than he initially believed?

"Not many have ventured into the faery territories," Alora continued, her tone more serious

now.

Broken focused more intently. The mention of the faery territories piqued his curiosity-they were mysterious and not well-explored, and hearing this from Alora made him realize there was much more to this expedition than he had anticipated.

It left Broken wondering-did she trust him that much, or did she simply not see the Shadow Wolves as a threat to her?

He then explained the issue with the Demon Egg, mentioning that it required a Mana supply from someone with royal status. And the only person he could turn to for that was Princess

Alora.

"Oh... interesting," Alora responded. "It seems the egg recognizes who is worthy enough to be its Mana supplier, doesn't it?"

"Yes, the egg has been quite a hassle and has already caused me a lot of trouble," Broken sighed.

"If I supply the Mana, wouldn't that make us the egg's parents, in a way?" she said, turning to him with a playful smile.

"That's... definitely not something I expected to hear from you, Princess," Broken replied,

grinning.

"Well, that's fine," Alora continued, her tone still light but suddenly more direct. "Think of it as practice... for the day you might actually become my husband."

Broken gulped at her words, the unexpected comment sending a wave of surprise through him. It brought back memories of their time in the Trial Domain of Flauros, where Princess Alora had once promised that if she fulfilled her duties and became the ruler of the Dissidia Kingdom, she would allow him to marry her.

"Oh, I'm sure you've forgotten about that by now, so just forget it," Princess Alora added with a playful smile.

Broken chuckled. "You definitely put a lot of pressure on me with those words, Princess."

"Oh, you're only realizing that now?" she teased. "There's still time to back out if you want."

As they continued walking, the blacksmith workshop came into view, its activities still bustling despite the late hour.

"And yes," Broken thought to himself, "I will claim my prize. I will marry the Princess."

"I'll stand before you to claim that prize when the time comes, and I'll make sure that moment arrives, Princess," he said.

"That's a lot of confidence from you, Baron Broken. And I quite like it," she replied casually.
