"Your Highness Elizabeth, you overstate it… Me, being a teacher or something…" Sister You Li heard Iri say this, and answered somewhat flustered, her face even turning red.
The creator of Sister You Li, Yewuzi, had the profession of a teacher, which is why Sister You Li has such a rigorous big sister personality.
"Is that so… Her Highness Elizabeth is indeed diligent in her studies!" The Blood Emperor forced a smile and responded.
"It's alright, hmm… It's not good to call Sebas back either, so… how about this, Emperor Brother… can you let your subordinates accompany me to exercise? That uncle and sister look quite formidable." Iri said, looking at two of the Imperial Four Generals behind the Blood Emperor.
"No, no, Your Highness Elizabeth, how could we be your opponents." That uncle quickly refused, looking frightened.
"That's right! Your Highness is such a powerful magic caster, let alone me and Bajed, our entire force probably wouldn't be your opponents!" Renas also looked terrified.
"Hmm? Did you misunderstand something? I said it was for exercise, what does magic have to do with it? I won't cast magic. Come on, come on!" Iri didn't intend to let them off so easily.
That uncle glanced at the Blood Emperor, seemingly seeking his opinion, and saw the Blood Emperor nod slightly. That uncle seemed to have given up on something.
"Then… I shall be rude." The uncle stood out helplessly and said, then tugged at Renas beside him.
"Me… do I have to too? But…" Renas looked at Iri, not the Blood Emperor, for advice on what to do. This was a good sign; it seemed there was still a chance to win her over, Iri thought upon seeing this.
"Sister, come along too! It's more fun with more people." Iri said with a smile.
"Alright… alright! Your Highness Elizabeth, I shall also be rude." Renas also reluctantly agreed.
So everyone cleared the area, leaving only Iri and the two Imperial Generals. As Jierunifu was about to leave, he quietly said something to Bajed.
"Try to force out all her abilities."
Bajed could only return a wry smile. This willful princess in front of him was not a normal person, how could he force her? Although she said it was just for exercise and she wouldn't use magic, what if he angered this willful princess and she cast a spell? Everyone would be dead, right?
Now, he could only hope that this princess's physical combat skills weren't very strong. Generally speaking, magic casters' physical combat skills shouldn't be very good, but… one couldn't use common sense to deal with people from Nazarick. Bajed had come to this conclusion after witnessing Nazarick's strength.
"Renas, are you ready?" Bajed shook his head helplessly and asked.
"Bajed, let me state beforehand… stop before you cause serious harm! Your Highness Elizabeth is my benefactor. If you hurt her! I'll fight you to the death!" Renas replied.
"Hey, hey! Whose side are you on anyway?" Bajed complained quite helplessly. It hadn't even started yet, and Renas was already like this. How could he force out the abilities of this willful princess?
"For now, I'm on your side." Renas said unhappily, then raised the staff in her hand.
Bajed also had no choice but to take out his sword, and used a rope to tightly bind the hilt and scabbard. There were no wooden swords in the wilderness, so he could only make do with this. He couldn't just draw his sword, could he? Drawing a sword on a princess of an allied nation would be very rude.
However, after Bajed was ready, he looked up and saw the willful princess standing there, doing various strange movements that looked very much like stretching. He was a bit speechless. Did this princess intend to fight him in her gown? Was she too foolish? Or too confident?
"Your Highness Princess Elizabeth, aren't you going to change your clothes? We will wait for you." Renas also noticed that the willful princess's current attire was indeed not very suitable for "exercising."
"Hmm? Do I need to change clothes?" The willful princess looked down at her attire, then looked up and continued, puzzled.
"No need, right? This should be fine! It'll be over in a moment anyway."
"…" Upon hearing this, Bajed felt a bit annoyed. Did this willful princess mean that he and Renas combined would be dealt with in just a moment?
Leaving aside Renas, who would definitely go easy, he was, after all, Bajed the Lightning, one of the Imperial Four Generals. To be insulted by a magic caster who had already declared she wouldn't use magic, and who thought she could deal with them in an instant, his temper wasn't that good.
"Then… Your Highness Princess Elizabeth, we are ready." Bajed, unable to contain his anger, said directly.
"…" Renas seemed to want to continue persuading the willful princess, but was glared back at fiercely by Bajed.
Renas snorted coldly, intending to put in minimal effort.
"Oh! We can start anytime, come on, come on! Both of you come at me!" The willful princess said with an attitude that clearly showed she didn't take them seriously.
"Here we go!" Bajed shouted, brandishing his sword, which had safety measures in place, and charged forward. Renas followed closely behind. Bajed had originally planned to exclude Renas and deal with the willful princess himself, but he didn't expect Renas to follow.
Bajed charged towards Iri with lightning speed. The nickname 'Lightning' wasn't given for nothing. Although Bajed, with his rather large build, didn't look like a character known for speed, the reality was quite the opposite. What Bajed was most proud of was his explosive speed.
However, facing Bajed's fierce charge, the willful princess merely clenched her right hand into a fist and placed it at her waist, showing no intention of dodging. Bajed grew even angrier at this sight.
No matter what, for a small child-like girl to face his charge so casually was simply not taking him seriously. If that was the case! Even if she got hurt, she couldn't blame anyone else!
"Martial Arts! Lightning Strike!" Bajed didn't care anymore and directly used his self-created martial art. Anyway, the Emperor's intention was to force her to use her abilities. Let's see what you can do to block this move! Willful Princess!
"Fajin…" The tone of the willful princess's shout was completely lacking in vigor. Her next movement… she threw a punch at an invisible speed, targeting him!
Bajed, out of pure survival instinct, tilted his head, and then an incredibly powerful gust of wind brushed past his ear. At this moment, his Sword Also swung in front of the willful princess.
"Oh dear… I lost, Uncle, you're really amazing." The willful princess scratched her head, pretending to be surprised.
The reason the willful princess gave up so readily, in the eyes of others, was that Bajed had dodged the willful princess's blow, and then swung his sword in front of the willful princess. If it were a real fight, the willful princess would have been split in half!
However… Bajed knew that facing his sword directly, the willful princess had always maintained a smile, completely unconcerned about the sword swinging towards her.
Although the sword was sheathed, if it directly hit her face, with Bajed's own strength, it wouldn't be as simple as just getting injured. Yet, this willful princess didn't even blink.
Moreover, if the willful princess had intended to, her head would have been blown off by that intentionally misdirected punch just now.
Just as Bajed was still stunned, suddenly there was a crash, accompanied by the frightened neighing of an eight-legged horse. Bajed and everyone else's attention turned.
It was then that everyone noticed that the Emperor's personal carriage had fallen apart, and a large hole was clearly visible at the rear of the carriage.
"Oops… sorry, sorry… I didn't control my strength well and broke Emperor Brother's carriage." The willful princess stuck out her tongue and said.
