Gabriel knew that Avilia was just messing with him but the Prince took her seriously. Even the Princess' face turned slightly red. The man she thought to be so serious was really a person who wanted hundreds of wives? And he really was after her?
She didn't know why, but she was somewhat happy to think that Gabriel was actually interested in her.
When Gabriel stopped her from kissing him, even though she was relieved that she didn't have to kiss Gabriel, she was also somewhat upset.
She was considered a beauty matter wherever she went. Despite that, she was completely ignored by Gabriel which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable especially since it was her first time where she was about to kiss someone.
Other than being a Dark Mage, she couldn't find any flaws in Gabriel after all. He was a beautiful man and attractive enough.
"Y-you lecherous man!" The Prince was so furious that it looked as if he was about to cough out blood. "You were playing with my sister's heart?! I'll kill you!"
The Prince was so angry that without thinking twice, he was about to attack Gabriel. His sister was such a nice person that whoever she married was going to be heaven's chosen!
She also had the Yann Empire's backing! And after all that, the man dared to think of her as a second wife?! And even after all that, he wasn't satisfied and was planning to marry hundreds more?!
"Brother, that's enough!" Xin was really regretting her decision to bring her brother here. Unfortunately, before she could even react, the Prince attacked!
He has had enough! Not only did the man belittled their Empire by attacking his people, but he also insulted his sister? Even if his sister liked the man, he wasn't going to let her marry such a lecherous man!
"That's enough." Gabriel has had enough. He was not in the mood to play around with the two idiots who were instigated by Avilia.
With a single wave of his hand, a mysterious force pushed the Prince back. The Prince's body was flung back, making him fall outside the room.
The guards who were standing in the hallway in the distance were shocked to find their Prince on the ground in the hallway. They rushed straight to their Prince.
"You get out as well. This is my last warning. Whoever enters my room will be killed!" Gabriel also sent the Princess outside before closing the door.
It was only then that he turned to Avilia. "Have you had enough fun? Can you stop playing around?"
"If people don't play around, won't the world become boring?" Avilia chuckled. "Anyway, what's the deal with that stupid man? Did you really fall for his sister?"
"He's just an idiot," Gabriel responded before briefly explaining what happened here.
"So that's how it is. And here I thought you finally fell in love. It seems this poor wife was getting jealous for no reason." Avilia sighed as she laid back on the bed again, feeling somewhat tired after the long journey to find Gabriel.
Because of the thing that happened in the Holy Region of Light, the shadow which she left on Gabriel's trail was destroyed.
After that, she tried to assign a shadow again but for some reason, none of her shadows could get even close to Gabriel as if there was something mysterious about him ever since he came back from the Holy Region which was intimidating even her shadows.
It was because of that, she failed to keep track of Gabriel and had to employ other less effective ways to find him. It took her quite some time and effort but she finally succeeded and was tired now.
"I don't care how much you play around. But your games are starting to affect me. Since you instigated that stupid Prince, you will deal with him. I don't care how you do it. I am not in the mood to kill them."
Gabriel understood that the Prince was somewhat stupid when it came to his sister. He wasn't wrong to be angry either after hearing what he heard.
Even the sister wasn't entirely wrong since she was trying to save her people when she lied. She was just somewhat of an idiot according to Gabriel. There was no malice so no need to be heavy handed.
"There's no need for me to do anything personally." Avilia didn't even get up from the bed. She was a Summoner and she could be lazy all she wanted. She just cast a Summoning Spell using Wordless Chant.
Thanks to the Wordless Chant, Gabriel couldn't hear her spell which also hid the information about what spell she used.
Gabriel only heard some heavy noises coming from outside which didn't last long.
Within a few minutes, all the noises stopped and there was complete silence in the hallway outside.
"There, I dealt with them!" The Holy Priestess exclaimed as she cancelled her spell. "Now, let's get back to the reason I was looking for you. Something big has happened!"
****
At the same time, on the ground floor, the Prince and the Princess were sitting around a table. Before them, all their guards were sitting on their knees, groaning in pain. There were wounds all over their body as if they were flung around like toys. Fortunately, they weren't heavily injured and were allowed to go down.
Since the Prince and the Princess didn't attack personally, they were the only two people who were unharmed.
"Just what was that beast? He was so strong! Even none of my elite guards could put up resistance." The Prince sat with his arms folded around his chest, lost in deep thoughts. "Xin, are you sure you're not hiding something from me? That man... Just what is his identity for him to not be scared of us and even attack my men?"
"Brother..."
Xin had tried so much to avoid a direct conflict with Gabriel. Even though their men were beaten, she was sure that the beast didn't belong to Gabriel. If Gabriel had taken action, none of them would've been left alive after all. She understood it was the work of the woman next to Gabriel.
However, that made her worried even more. Last time, Gabriel was accompanied by a man who could use black flames and was as strong as a Holy Lord. And this time, he was accompanied by a woman who could use summoning and her strength wasn't any weaker than Raphael.
The more she got to know Gabriel, the more amazed she became! Everyone around Gabriel was extraordinary after all! Was he really just a Dark Mage? Just what was it about him that made her feel as if she was in the presence of God that had the right to look down on all the mortals!
