They seemed somewhat frightened.
Let's leave aside what the princess was really thinking for now.
They knew exactly what kind of fighting ability Victor possessed.
That day, the war magic ignited in the sky above the entire capital was witnessed by countless nobles and officials.
If he were to take the princess with him, what chance would the eldest prince have?
What kind of monster riot?
If this guy casts a spell, how many monsters will survive?
However, due to the need for tact in court, he naturally could not directly express his thoughts.
He could only feign concern for the princess's safety to persuade Aubrey to refuse her request.
Before they could finish speaking, Aurelion's gaze swept over them indifferently.
“Mr. Quentin, I remember you are the director of the Monster Management Bureau.”
The man known as Quentin seemed to have no idea that Aurelion would remember his identity.
Seeing Quentin's bewildered expression, Aurelian began to speak slowly.
"The army led by the eldest prince is mostly composed of first and second tier warriors and knights, with very few third tier soldiers."
"And there are only a few second-tier mage groups that can barely be considered as logistical support."
As she spoke, an extremely vast magical power surged from Aurelion's body.
The magic instantly submerged the entire hall, making it resemble a deep sea.
Countless ministers felt this terrifying aura and couldn't help but blink.
Wasn't it said that the "vase princess" was just an ordinary first-tier mage?
But how come her magical power is comparable to that of a second-tier mage?
She's only fifteen years old!
Aurelion took in the gazes of all the ministers and calmly said:
Do you think my strength is inferior to theirs?
His words seemed to carry an undeniable air of dominance.
At this point, Quentin was rendered speechless by Aurelion's retort.
He turned his attention to the faction of the Second Prince.
The noble ministers over there understood this perfectly well.
Taking advantage of the Crown Prince's faction's misfortune at this time is not a good thing.
Once is never enough; if this time Princess Aurelion is allowed to leave with Victor under the guise of training...
This time it was the eldest prince who suffered the most, but next time, it might be the second prince's turn.
So they're willing to give Quentin some support.
A courtier standing beside the second prince stepped forward and said:
“Your Highness, you certainly possess remarkable strength for your age. However, the First Prince has led an army into battle, so his safety is somewhat guaranteed.”
"Excuse my bluntness, but while Count Victor is strong, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to protect you in a battle..."
"Then how about adding me too?"
A lazy voice suddenly rang out from outside.
Everyone was drawn to the sound.
They saw it: a white cloud.
It slowly drifted in from outside the hall.
When they focused their gaze on the people above the clouds, their pupils suddenly contracted, and they were greatly shocked.
Kokote Yad!
Ever since Lia brought her to the palace, the nobles and ministers have been deeply impressed by this elf.
The future Elf Queen is also a former councilor who knew the current emperor before.
The newly appointed official was so frightened he could barely speak.
“Member of Parliament Yad…”
The fifth level is a realm that countless people dream of and can hardly even imagine.
Kokote is one of those selected from millions, and he is about to cross the fifth rank.
At this moment, all his earlier words of concern seemed like utter nonsense.
If even a mage like this can't protect a princess, then who can?
Are you suggesting that the emperor himself should go?
But they still didn't want to give up, and someone stepped forward and continued:
"But...Your Highness, you should at least have a guard to protect you..."
The moment the words fell, a clanging sound of armor resounded outside the hall.
Everyone looked outside, wanting to see where the metallic sound was coming from.
Suddenly, their eyes widened.
Outside the door, a legion of demi-humans appeared.
Their heads were adorned with various animal features resembling cat and dog ears, which rustled and trembled in the sunlight.
He wore gleaming iron armor made of bone.
The armor had some sharp spikes protruding from it, which resembled the face of a wild beast and inspired a sense of fear.
Among this army of demi-humans, they noticed a human woman.
It stands out particularly.
She exuded an extremely powerful fourth-tier aura.
They wore the same armor as the demi-humans and carried the same weapons.
Some of the sharp-eyed officials recognized the woman.
"Isn't that Elsa, the fourth-tier adventurer from the south, the Greatsword Assassin?!"
"How could that be? Didn't she become Lady Kasanna's bodyguard?"
Amidst the gasps of shock, a clearer clang of metal armor clashing slowly rang out.
Gwen walked out step by step.
With her back to the morning sun, her brand-new silver armor gleamed in the sunlight.
Like a sun goddess emerging from the light, she displays her unique majesty and power.
A terrifying red blade adorned his waist, its endless flames immediately apparent at first glance.
