Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Blood Clan Princess VS The Newly Embraced Human Girl (Part 23)
By the time Gu Shengyin looked over,
Olinwen didn’t wait for her to speak, and suddenly said, “Since this man has enough strength to be worthy of you, I will fulfill my promise.”
“I, Olinwen of the Malkawi Clan, declare: From today onwards, the engagement between Yekaterina Bruch and me is dissolved.” He looked at Gu Shengyin and spoke deliberately, word by word.
She didn’t know why, but even though his expression was so calm, Gu Shengyin seemed to feel a deep sorrow emanating from him.
Of course, Lancelot knew what he was sad about—man’s intuition told him that Olinwen’s feelings for Gu Shengyin were the same as his own.
However, he had no intention of feeling sympathy for a rival in love.
Olinwen didn’t stay, and after saying that, he left.
As a prince of the Malkawi Clan, he should be strong and omnipotent; even in letting go, he should be poised.
After Olinwen left, Duchess Rita didn’t stay either. The members of the Blood Clan also left one after another.
Lancelot’s fame soared after that battle; no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
Gu Shengyin and Lancelot spent a long, peaceful time together in Nightingale Castle.
“How have you spent these past hundred years?” Gu Shengyin leaned on the soft couch, looking at her lover who was reading a book by her side.
Lancelot looked up and thought for a moment: “At first, I always stayed at home because I stubbornly refused to take a wife and have children, losing my status as the heir of the Laine Family. In a way, this was a relief for me. But later, after ten, twenty years, when the family noticed my appearance hadn’t changed in the slightest, they began to fear me. Once, I even overheard my parents discussing, calling me a ‘monster’…”
His tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated to him, yet Gu Shengyin felt a pang of heartache.
She had forgotten that this world was different from the previous Sword Cultivation World—unchanging appearance and prolonged life were beyond common sense and hard for ordinary humans to accept.
“…Eventually, I moved to a forest mountain not far from Nightingale Castle. At that time, I no longer needed to eat grains. It saved me from worrying about encountering living people, and I could be a bit closer to you…”
He didn’t finish his sentence because Gu Shengyin suddenly stood up and embraced him.
He gently kissed her long hair: “Don’t think too much about it. I don’t feel sad about such a life.”
Because he always had a thought in his heart, he never felt the days were too hard to endure.
Several big pieces of news have recently broken out among the Blood Clan.
Duchess Rita rejoined Prince Malkawi’s command;
Princess of Bruch held a wedding with that extraordinary human at Nightingale Castle. The couple was nowhere to be found at the moment, reportedly on their honeymoon.
During the wedding, Prince Malkawi and Duchess Rita both attended, and the few of them were actually chatting and laughing hospitably, as if not in the least affected by the previous events.
“Are you planning to drag me along and travel the entire continent?” Gu Shengyin looked at the man.
Lancelot held the person in his arms tightly: “When I was practicing swordsmanship, I always thought that one day, I would travel with you to every place on the continent and leave our footsteps everywhere.”
He knew Gu Shengyin had existed for countless years and might have already seen the scenery of the continent countless times.
But before, it was without him.
He was just that domineering; he wanted this woman to include him whenever she recalled anything.
