At such a generous proclamation from the Princess, of course I capitalized on it shamelessly.
"Yes, I mean, No! I am NOT okay! He attacked me with his fire dragons and even tried to attack me with his fiery red sword!" I shouted back to Princess Louisa indignantly.
"Oh no! Where are you injured?" Princess Louisa asked, half concerned, half amused. Of course she knew of my unnaturally insane physique which was enhanced by her blood which made me completely invulnerable to her second brother's attacks.
But she was probably pissed off by the actions of her brother, and wanted to give "something" back to him.
"I am injured. Very injured!" I shouted without specifying where in my completely healthy and unblemished body which was at that moment surrounded with a shroud of lightning energy, produced by yours truly to cover my nakedness.
A feat that signified my rapidly rising level of control over my bloodline energy.
More on that later.
"What? Injured? Your injury is the Empire's injury!" Princess Louisa shouted as she warmed up to the topic.
"Indeed! I am very, very injured. I might die tonight due to my overwhelming injuries! What do you have to say to that you dumbass second brother? Do you want the Empire to die along with me tonight?" I shouted nastily to Prince Harris.
"Injured your dumbass head! You're obviously fine! Stop being a pretentious bastard and wear some clothes for God's sake!" He snapped at me angrily!
"Ah!!! My clothes! Your dumbass second brother burned my super expensive clothes off! They were gifts from my master to accompany me on my first trip by myself!" I shouted in horror. "How can the Empire possibly replace these highly sentimental treasures? What sort of treasures must the Empire part with to compensate my loss, and heal my shattered heart??"
"Oh no! Poor Justin, you must be traumatized by your loss!" Princess Louisa continued on our ridiculous farce and followed my lead obediently.
"I am very traumatized. Very much so. I am so traumatized that my eyesight is affected! I can't even see my hands now!" I said as I raised my hands which obviously couldn't be seen because my lightning energy was covering it completely. "I demand compensation! I want it right now!"
"Second brother! Pay up!" Princess Louisa folded her arms under her breasts and pouted at Prince Harris.
"Pay this snivelling bastard? Not in a million years!" Prince Harris roared angrily.
But at that moment, it was as though something snapped in Princess Louisa's mind.
"What did you call Justin just now?" She asked with a silky soft voice.
Both Princes turned their heads to look at Princess Louisa in surprise.
The farce that we were acting out suddenly evaporated and real, bellyful anger seeped out of Princess Louisa's entire being.
Her body started to glow with bright energy and quickly formed a robe made out of pure life energy. The fire dragon around her winked out of existence as her power took hold of her.
I glanced at her in surprise. Not because she was angry though, but because of her unique method of turning energy into clothes.
I quickly did as she did, and made for myself a cool white robe made out of my lightning energy.
"Apologize to Justin right now." Princess Louisa narrowed her eyes to glare at Prince Harris.
"You're being unreasonable. He was the one who provoked me first." Prince Harris replied with a deep frown of his own.
"Provoked you? I did not hear him call you bastard or anything of the sort. YOU attacked him first without warning! YOU were being inhospitable to the VIP guest who saved my life! Do you know how hard it is to convince him to come visit us?" Princess Louisa started to raise her voice slightly.
"He… He saved you?" Prince Harris asked in shock.
"Yep. The thing which you couldn't do which I mentioned earlier." I smirked at the dumbass.
Prince Harris gaped at me in shock, and Prince Wilford nodded appreciatively.
"You better do something impressively friendly and heartwarming right here and right now." Princess Louisa said with a big frown still plastered on her face.
"Yep. I am warning you, I am not easy to please. Because you were so unfriendly, I will not go easy on you. You need to reward me with something as valuable as Louisa is to you." I smiled at him slyly and stretched out my hand towards him.
"Thi-this… Nothing is as valuable as Princess Louisa. Your request is impossible. Hmph! Let us go home now!" Prince Harris scowled at me before turning around to make his way towards the SCD.
"You… you… don't even value me as much as your stupid trinkets?" Princess Louisa asked Prince Harris with a quivering voice.
"What! Of course not! I value you more than even all of my Royal Treasures combined!!" Prince Harris shouted as he turned around anxiously.
"Talk is cheap. Anybody can say such things. But nobody can rescue your sister like I did. Actions are worth more than words." I helpfully reminded him.
"You…" Prince Harris gave me a death glare before turning to Princess Louisa and said helplessly to her. "What do you want me to do?"
"Give him one of your Royal Treasures. If you can't even do that much, it just means that you don't love me at all!" Princess Louisa continued to pout at him.
"I want that red sword you were using just now." I quickly said before he could toss me any old treasure which he didn't like.
"You want my Red Dragon Sword?" Prince Harris asked me with an incredulous look on his face.
"Red Dragon Sword is its name? Nice name! Very cool! Yes I want that Red Dragon Sword please. Thank you for your generosity. Your love for your sister is inspiring. If I have a sister, I will be sure to love her like you love Louisa." I shook my outstretched hand impatiently.
"Impossible. The Red Dragon Sword was designed to be my personal treasure, a heirloom to be passed down to my desc-"
"What is made can be remade, even the most valuable of treasures. But a heart once broken, will never be the same even if mended with all care." I said ominously as I glanced at Princess Louisa.
Her large, luminous eyes teared up on cue and forced Prince Harris to make a painful decision.
An easy one, of course. But its ease did not make it any less painful. Especially if the fact that he was giving it to someone whom he had hated at first sight was added as the icing on the cake.
He took a deep breath, let it out, and drew the Red Dragon Sword in one fluid motion.
He tossed it to me, turned around, and walked away without saying anything.
I caught the treasure sword gleefully and took a brief moment to admire it.
"Hmmm." Prince Wilford looked like he wanted to say something, but he chose to remain quiet instead.
At that moment, as if remembering something important, Prince Harris turned around and quickly made his way back to his original spot.
His face was strangely emotionless, except for a very tiny hint of a sinisterness in his eyes.
"Hmmm?" I looked at the two Princes suspiciously and then at the Red Dragon Sword.
"Oh no! I forgot that Roya-"
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!
GRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
A fiery explosion ripped out of the Red Dragon Sword and a supremely powerful fire dragon appeared from within it.
By reflex, I unleashed my lightning energy to protect myself and to attack the fire dragon with all of my strength!
Crackle! Crackle!
GROOAAHHHHHH!!
The magnificent fire dragon spat out a thick and heavy beam of pure fire energy at me at near point blank range!!
Sticky, roiling fire energy slammed onto my body and clashed against my robe of lightning energy.
Although it failed to penetrate it, there are many parts of my body which weren't covered by the robe which were exposed to the fire.
And very strangely, I actually felt the insane heat that it was giving out?
"Huh? Damn it, aren't I supposed to be invulnerable to this fire attack? Lightning Shield!!" I panicked slightly and was about to cast a dark lightning shield when I caught myself and casted a normal lightning shield instead.
I didn't want to reveal my second bloodline at that moment so that I would still have an ace in the hole.
But I did unleash a massive amount of Princess Louisa's bloodline energy at that moment - life energy!
The white life energy surged out to repair my skin which had taken slight damage from the massive fire dragon.
"Hmmmm." Prince Wilford frowned deeply when he saw the abundant life energy I was freely manipulating.
He turned to face Princess Louisa and gave her a level gaze.
He didn't need to say anything.
His demand at that moment was very clear
Explain.
