Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: What Virtues and Abilities
When the maid uttered these words, the woman in the phoenix robe was clearly a bit anxious.
The elder standing to her right, on the other hand, appeared very calm.
Daring to flirt with the real princess of The North Sea, one must pay a price.
Do you really think you’re someone important?
Just a grandmaster.
If it weren’t for the support of Shushan behind Hendrick Kensington, what right or ability would he have to be so presumptuous in front of the Northern Sea Princess?
"This Town North King, what position does he hold in The North Sea?"
Hendrick Kensington leaned on the couch, carefully picking up the glass bead.
Then he stood up, placing it in the safe in the corner of the living room.
"A king who is granted land, his status in The North Sea is second only to the royal family."
The maid answered softly.
"So, if he were to meet me, would he have to kneel and salute just the same?"
Pride was inherent in Hendrick Kensington’s bones.
A grandmaster in his youth, enough to make him proud of the world.
Given time, his future would surely be immeasurable.
"If Mr. Kensington and the princess were to be formally married, the Town North King would naturally have to kneel and salute his bridegroom. But currently..."
The maid said with a light laugh, "At the moment, you are not."
"You, a maid, are quite interesting."
Hendrick Kensington closed the safe and walked towards her.
"I’m very curious to see what kind of face lies beneath the veil."
Having said that, he reached out his hand to pull the veil off the maid’s face.
"Mr. Kensington!"
The phoenix-robed woman immediately stood up, blocking in front of the maid: "We of The North Sea, have our own rules. The women of The North Sea must not show their faces lightly. Once the veil is removed, they must marry."
As she spoke, she was extremely nervous, her throat moving continuously.
Even the hair by her temples was damp with fine beads of sweat.
She was just a stand-in.
The maid behind her was the real princess!
If she were provoked by Hendrick Kensington today, she would be in deep trouble.
"Young Master Kensington, you seem a bit impatient. When the princess comes to marry, I will serve you along with her."
Just as the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, the maid suddenly spoke up.
Without shyness or anger, she carried herself with poise and grace.
This, in turn, made Hendrick Kensington, insistent on seeing her true face, feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Sorry for the intrusion."
He lowered his hand and glanced at his watch, "It’s still early, take me to see the splendor of The North Sea cavalry."
Hendrick Kensington had never felt such a strong desire before.
Not even when facing the Northern Sea Princess did he experience such an intense urge to conquer!
What one can’t have, eternally stirs within.
His gaze swept over the maid with the veiled face, and he couldn’t help but swallow hard.
"Please follow me!"
Elders Victor was the first to turn and leave.
The Kensington family’s mansion was very spacious.
The family valued martial training, so the courtyard started out as a training ground.
Later, as Theodore Kensington opened martial training halls all across Five-river Province, the courtyard became unused.
At this moment, several luxury cars were parked there.
Many of them were brand new, never driven before.
These were all lavish gifts from wealthy merchants of Five-river Province upon hearing of Hendrick Kensington’s return, sent especially to curry favor with the Kensington family.
"Whichever one the princess likes, I’ll give it to you."
Standing in front of a dozen luxury cars, Hendrick Kensington walked back and forth, finally stopping at a supercar.
"Shall I drive?"
He asked with a smile.
"I will."
The maid stepped forward, directly opening the car door.
Sitting in the driver’s seat.
"Please have the princess and Mr. Kensington sit in the back."
Elders Victor, not waiting for Hendrick Kensington to move, directly sat in the front passenger seat.
"Hiss..."
Hendrick Kensington took a deep breath, cursing inwardly.
But since things had come to this, he simply walked to the back seat and sat down with the phoenix-robed woman.
The sports car roared to life!
In the blink of an eye, it left the Kensington family’s mansion, heading toward the forest outside the city.
Five-river Province was mountainous with lush trees.
The location of the Kensington family was in the suburbs.
A few minutes later.
The sports car stopped at the end of a road.
Further ahead lay a dense forest.
"Here?"
Hendrick Kensington pushed open the car door, folding his arms behind his back as he surveyed the pitch-black forest ahead.
As a Grandmaster, he could sense the presence of danger.
Yet inside, there seemed to be no stir.
"Please!"
The maidservant extended a hand, pointing toward the forest.
"Please!"
Hendrick Kensington strode ahead.
Damn Town North King!
He was a Grandmaster!
Including The North Sea, there wasn’t anything he really looked up to.
About ten minutes into the walk, just as Hendrick Kensington’s patience was about to run out—
Clang!
Within the forest, a long sword was drawn from its sheath!
Caught off guard by the sudden change, he immediately stopped in his tracks, vigilantly watching ahead!
At the same time, he clenched his fists, ready to make a move at any moment.
"Young Master Kensington, do not be alarmed. These are The North Sea Cavalry!"
Elders Victor emerged from behind him, lightly blowing a whistle.
Rustle!
Nearly a thousand men marched out of the forest in neat rows!
The solemn aura made Hendrick Kensington’s scalp tingle!
As a Grandmaster, it was the first time he felt somewhat breathless.
Swish!
The soldiers, who were not on horseback, turned neatly and retreated to both sides.
Afterward.
A man and his horse slowly emerged from the depths of the forest.
"Your servant, Arturo, greets the princess!"
The man dismounted, planted his long spear in the ground, and knelt in a respectful salute.
"Town North King need not show such great courtesy."
Elders Victor bent down and helped Arturo up: "After a long ride, the princess thought to visit and comfort you. How has it been, all according to plan?"
During the entire sequence, the woman in the phoenix robe and the maidservant did not speak.
"Everything proceeded according to Elders Victor’s plan. Night Fairy headed straight for Gonzalez City, but the assassination failed. The next step depends on how Elders Victor operates."
Arturo held his long spear upside down, speaking out in a cold voice.
"Very well, leave the rest to me."
Elders Victor nodded, a slight smile appearing on his face.
Although the trick was a bit low-level, having Night Fairy make a move wasn’t a bad idea.
The world knew Night Fairy had Thousands faces, but few knew that Night Fairy was a Grandmaster.
And among the ranks, one of the top ten individuals on the Heaven’s List!
Night Fairy wasn’t just skilled at disguise, her talent for poisoning was also top-notch.
Thousands faces, by nature, was an assassin.
An assassin’s disguise isn’t just about appearance.
It’s about the heart as well.
She could make one believe she harbored absolutely no betrayal.
Yet, when her target’s back was turned to her, she could strike fiercely at the vitals!
If she doesn’t strike, so be it, but once she does...
The enemy must die.
Such a dangerous person, like a ticking bomb.
No matter where she was, there was danger.
"Night Fairy is immensely suspicious. I’ve already spread rumors that Julius Reed orchestrated this scheme, hoping to subdue Night Fairy with it."
Elders Victor laughed lightly, his composure full of strategizing.
"Who is this..."
Arturo noticed the unfamiliar face of Hendrick Kensington and couldn’t help but furrow his brow: "Also a man of The North Sea? Yet, I, the king, have never seen him."
"Town North King, this is..."
"I’m Hendrick Kensington!"
Still fuming from the earlier shock, Hendrick Kensington was very displeased!
Now, with the other’s arrogant tone, he was even more angry.
He interrupted the woman in the phoenix robe, snorting lightly, "But soon enough, I will be the son-in-law of The North Sea! When you see me, you too shall kneel in salutation!"
"Oh? The son-in-law of The North Sea?"
Arturo was first taken aback, then sneered: "By what virtues or abilities do you dare make such a bold statement?"
"What virtues and abilities?"
Hendrick Kensington snorted softly and fiercely thrust a punch forward!
"By this!"
Bang!
His fist went straight for Arturo’s face!
