Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 121 The Condescending Sister

“It’s all thanks to Xu Zhen’s introduction. I definitely couldn’t have done it without him.”

"Really? It seems like my brother is well taken care of by you."

"No, it's nothing..."

Xu Zhen felt a little uncomfortable when being thanked frankly.

Austin seemed to find this young man very interesting. He sensed a strange atmosphere around him and said loudly again, "Don't worry about it. This is not a formal occasion."

Although his words caused a stir, gradually, smiles returned to everyone's faces.

As the atmosphere gradually became more cheerful, Xu Zhen compared the two royal brothers. The elder brother was proud of the younger brother, and the younger brother respected the greatness of the elder brother. Xu Zhen felt this way.

Seide really has a good brother, Xu Zhen couldn't help but smile. However, this warm atmosphere was about to be completely broken by a person who appeared in the courtyard.

"There's too much excitement over a killer tiger cub."

(What's wrong? I feel a little weird all of a sudden...)

Xu Zhen couldn't help but look around. The soldiers and maids didn't seem to welcome him. Courtney noticed Xu Zhen's doubts and whispered in his ear.

"That is Lady Minerva, the princess of this country, sister of Ced."

"oh?"

Xu Zhen vaguely remembered having heard that Said had a younger sister.

Her blonde hair was tied at the tip with a bright red ribbon and extended to her waist. Her powerful upturned eyes were her distinguishing features. Although she was only twelve years old, her appearance already showed great future potential, and anyone would think so.

The moment she saw Ced, her expression turned into a mocking one. How she wished she hadn't done that, most people in the room thought so. However, Minerva didn't care about the looks around her and bowed deeply to Ced.

"Welcome back, Brother Seide. Even though you are a scoundrel, you were able to bring back a monster."

Regardless of the tone, her words sounded quite rude - almost condescending. The obvious mocking and condescending expression was clearly a natural way of belittling her biological brother. As if it was natural to do so.

Minerva, completely immersed in her own world, continued to speak to Sede.

"But it's just a cub after all. If it were me, I would easily defeat a mature killer tiger. But don't worry. For a rogue like you, this is already enough of an achievement. As a sister, I will fully praise you. You should be grateful!"

Angered by such remarks, Xu Zhen, Lati and the other three showed unhappy expressions. Although Alicia and Courtney tried their best not to show their expressions, they felt the same way.

The soldiers and maids looked confused, while Austin had a bitter look on his face, which was obviously directed at Minerva, but Minerva conveniently interpreted it as being directed at Ced.

"Don't you feel ashamed of your stupidity for letting your brother show such an expression? You stayed in the palace under the tolerance of your mother and brother, but you behaved like this... Isn't this repaying kindness with ingratitude? A scoundrel like you should only smile foolishly and flatter..."

"Minerva, be careful with your words! You're going too far!" Austin's harsh rebuke echoed in the air, and Minerva was so frightened that she couldn't speak. She looked around and noticed that everyone had a bitter expression on their face.

This was really too much. Even without considering Austin's words, this was the unanimous feeling of the people around, but Minerva was completely unaware of it, and her smile seemed to be intoxicated by it.

"I admire my brother's kindness, but I should not be soft-hearted towards a scoundrel like you. It is not an exaggeration to say that you were born to betray our royal family."

"Betrayed? What are you talking about?" Austin asked with a serious expression. Minerva sighed, closed her eyes and shook her head exaggeratedly.

"You left all the magic babies in your mother's belly. It's not an exaggeration to say that you betrayed the Kingdom of Sforia. What's the value of such a person staying here? And..."

Minerva opened her eyes and pointed at Said. "This scoundrel just announced to the people that he was leaving the country. But the people, his mother, and even his brother... everyone is unhappy. It's really strange. Isn't it a good thing to remove the stain?"

Minerva's words were like a performance on stage, and everyone around her was speechless. The original anger also dissipated because of her performance.

Austin pressed his forehead, lowered his head, and tried to suppress his voice and said: "...Leave here immediately. Don't show your ugly side in front of important guests again."

This was obviously addressed to Minerva, but she showed no sign of leaving. Instead, she glared at Ced again with an annoyed expression.

"Look, what are you doing? You don't understand what your brother said, do you? This shameless scoundrel should immediately..."

"It is you who must leave at once, Minerva!"

"...Brother, why?"

Minerva finally realized that Austin was angry with him, but she still didn't understand why she was being blamed. Thinking that further conversation was pointless, Austin turned to the soldier next to him.

"Take Minerva away! It is an order! I allow the use of force where appropriate!"

"Yes, I understand!" The soldiers saluted almost reflexively, and then two of them subdued Minerva together. Minerva, unable to move, began to struggle.

"Let me go, you scoundrel!"

"You are the rude one! Take her away!"

"Brother! Please wake up! Brother?"

Two soldiers took Minerva into the palace, and she disappeared. When things finally quieted down, Austin bowed to Xu Zhen and the others.

"I am very sorry for showing my indecent side in front of all the guests. Please forgive me for my loss of composure this time for my sake."

“No, don’t do that…please don’t mind.”

“Yeah, that’s no problem really.”

Alicia and Courtney added hastily, their eyes turned to Austin and then secretly glanced at Xu Zhen. Xu Zhen remained silent. No, not just silent, his expression seemed to disappear.

He didn't seem to be completely unconcerned, but it was hard to tell if he was angry or not. Since it was hard to tell, Alicia, Courtney, and even Letty didn't know what to do. It seemed that Austin and Cede felt the same way.

Seide felt that he could no longer remain silent, so he made up his mind to speak to Xu Zhen: "I'm sorry, Xu Zhen..."

"Nothing." Xu Zhen simply replied while looking at Seide.
