718: Are You Crazy?! That's the Elven Princess!

Are You Crazy?! That's the Elven Princess!

1Two wheels of the horse-drawn carriage left the ground[1], and the entire carriage skidded toward a nearby wall on a horizontal path. The two horses drawing the carriage neighed in distress from the impact of the collision.

Mag turned to the rhinoceros-drawn carriage beside them. He had one hand tightly gripping the reins of the horses while his other hand had grabbed onto the carriage's curtain, ready to fling it aside at a moment's notice. If the carriage were to crash into the wall, then Amy could get hurt, and that was something that he couldn't allow to happen.

Right at this moment, a burst of gentle golden light appeared on the side of the horse-drawn carriage. The entire carriage decelerated dramatically as a result before gently sliding along the wall and down onto the ground.

A humanoid figure rolled out of the horse-drawn carriage, plummeting straight to the ground.

Mag looked at the unconscious coach driver on the ground, and he realized that they now had an excuse to offer to Josh about why the coach driver was unconscious. Hopefully, the coach driver would be suffering from memory loss, unable to recall that he had actually been knocked out by a chair.

However, Mag's heart was still filled with rage. The framework on the side of the carriage had almost been snapped in half from the force of the impact, and one corner of the carriage had been shattered. If that film of golden light hadn't appeared to buffer the impact of the carriage crashing into the wall, it was quite likely that the entire horse-drawn carriage would've been in pieces by now.

They were in Rodu, and this rhinoceros-drawn carriage was traveling at such a high speed on a road that was not very wide; these circumstances were already enough for the owner of the carriage to be charged with attempted murder.

Mag turned to the rhinoceros-drawn carriage, and discovered a massive black rhino that was two meters tall and over three meters in length. The rhinoceros was clad in black armor, and it was glowering at Mag with its large eyes, looking as if it were about to attack at any moment.

However, Mag's attention was drawn to the crest emblazoned on the rhinoceros-drawn carriage. It was the crest of the first prince's manor.

Rhinoceros-drawn carriages were quite rare in Rodu to begin with, particularly those that were drawn by Black Berserker Rhinos as this one. These rhinos were 4th-tier magic beasts commonly used by the Roth Empire's army to draw the military's battle carriages. They were extremely violent and short-tempered, and they would often injure people unless they were controlled by skilled beast-tamers.

However, the first prince really liked to use these Black Berserker Rhinos to draw his manor's carriages, and accidents rarely ever happened.

Sean! A mental image of the first prince appeared in Mag's mind. After crashing into their horse-drawn carriage, the middle-aged coach driver wasn't alarmed in the slightest. This was a horse-drawn carriage from the second prince's manor, and everyone in Rodu recognized the crest emblazoned on the carriage. As such, the driver had surely intentionally crashed into their carriage, and Sean was clearly the one behind all this.

Behind the rhinoceros-drawn carriage, there were a dozen or so armored knights, all of whom were sitting on horseback with cold expressions. None of them had any hint of remorse or apology in their eyes.

The "accident" had taken place at a T-intersection close to the Renhe Food Street, and the massive collision had attracted the attention of many of the passersby on the streets. All of them looked at the crests on the two carriages as they began to discuss quietly among themselves.

"Isn't that a Black Berserker Rhinoceros carriage from the first prince's manor? The horse-drawn carriage it crashed into isn't from the second prince's manor, is it?"

"I think it is! The first prince crashed into the second prince's carriage, and even the coach driver was knocked out! This is massive news!"

"The king's birthday is coming up tomorrow; these two princes won't get into a fight before that, will they?"

The horse-drawn carriage shuddered violently as Amy raised her head from Irina's chest with a confused look. "Huh? Did we crash into something?"

You bastards! How dare you disrupt my bonding time with Amy! Irina wore a frosty expression on her face. She was basking in the warmth of her daughter that she had been sorely missing for four years, only to be disrupted in such an infuriating manner.

A general in a suit of black armor emerged from within the rhinoceros-drawn carriage. He made his way over to the horse-drawn carriage and apologized with not even the slightest hint of apology in his eyes. "My apologies, this Black Berserker Rhino suddenly went on a rampage and crashed into your carriage. Was anyone hurt during the crash?"

"That's not how you should be apologizing!" A cold voice sounded from within the horse-drawn carriage in response. The curtain fluttered open, and a humanoid figure had appeared in front of the rhinoceros-drawn carriage, holding a chair in her hands.

"She's so beautiful!"

The elf that had suddenly appeared in front of the rhinoceros made all of the passersby's eyes light up.

She had long flowing silver hair, and was like a celestial maiden who had descended from the heavens. Everyone found themselves completely unable to look away, and at the same time, they were quite curious why she had suddenly appeared here.

In contrast, the knights behind the rhinoceros-drawn carriage were very alarmed by her astonishing speed. She had suddenly appeared in front of the Black Berserker Rhinoceros, and they didn't even see how she had gotten there.

"Thump!"

A loud thud erupted as the chair in her hand exploded into countless shards of wood.

The intimidating Black Berserker Rhinoceros that was glowering at Mag a moment ago was forced to its knees after receiving an almighty blow to the head. Its horn, which was even harder than most metals, had been completely flattened by the chair, and as it fell to its knees before Irina, it was already dead. Its massive body tipped over to the side before crashing to the ground, almost causing the carriage that it was drawing to tip over along with it.

All of the bystanders gulped involuntarily upon seeing this.

Irina seemed incredibly frail in the face of that Black Berserker Rhino, but she had taught everyone a vivid lesson on why they shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Even though the Black Berserker Rhino was only a 4th-tier magic beast, its defensive prowess was renowned as comparable to a 5th-tier magic beast's. It would be difficult even for a 5th-tier knight to slay it with a proper weapon, let alone a wooden chair.

"If you can't keep your stupid beast in check, then I'll discipline it for you." Irina looked at the knights behind the carriage with a cold expression as she threatened, "Don't go releasing things that you can't tame. Otherwise, I'll kill all of them!"

"How dare you!!" A knight drew his longsword as he prepared to rush forward and capture this insolent elf.

"Are you crazy?! That's the elven princess!" One of his comrades hurriedly grabbed him by the collar, almost wrenching him off his horse in the process.

"The… The elven princess?!" the knight exclaimed in a trembling voice, and he fell straight off his horse in fear.

There was once a list of people who were not to be messed with circulating throughout the Roth Empire's army, and Princess Irina stood at the top of that list. This legendary princess was once Alex's companion, and had always been regarded as the frontrunner to become Alex's wife.

Of course, that wasn't the reason why she was not to be messed with. Instead, the reason for this was that everyone who had gotten on her wrong side had suffered terrible fates. In fact, the Black Berserker Rhino was fortunate to have died such a quick and painless death.

All of the knights were rooted to the spot with wary expressions on their faces, and the general who had just offered an "apology" also wore an uneasy look on his face. Who would've thought that the elven princess would just so happen to be sitting in this carriage from the second prince's manor?

The entire scene descended into a deathly silence.

All of a sudden, Amy broke this silence as she clapped her little hands together with a reverent expression on her little face. "Wow! Big Sister Irina is so cool!"

At this moment, the curtain on the rhinoceros-drawn carriage was swept aside, and a tall and broad man emerged from within. He turned to Irina, and said, "You're completely right, Princess Irina. If you encounter any more of my rampant pets in the future, please do me the favor of killing them on the spot."

[1] Probably two on one side, for the total of four wheels.
