Regal Guard of Dragon novel Chapter 788

"Do you mean that if I do not agree to marry Russell, I may not be able to leave this banquet hall safely?"

Finn's face was grim. There was some coldness in his eyes.

"No, young man from Country C, you misunderstood me." Holy King shook his head and said, "We have always been in a friendly relationship with Country C, although there will be a little fight from time to time, that is a good chance to train the young generation."

Holy King picked up a glass of red wine from the table, and filled it half for himself. Then, holding the glass to Finn, he said, "You may take it as advice from an elder to a youngman."

As soon as he had said this, he raised the glass, took a sip, and said to Finn, "You know that Musashi Miyamoto, Soroka, and Philip hated you so much that they itch to kill you. But because Zachary is here, they're afraid to attack you. However, if you refuse to marry Russell, the Holy Sect will consider that you look down upon us, thinking that we are unworthy of a young man like you. Even though the Holy Sect is on good terms with Country C, I will arrange for a knight to escort you back after the banquet."

Holy King put emphasis on the "knight", hinting that Finn would not have Zachary to escort him safely back.

"Well, why does the elder's advice to the young sound so harsh?"

Finn's face turned rather sullen. He was now in an awkward situation.

He was not afraid of revenge from Musashi Miyamoto Soroka and Philip. He was thinking how to refuse the marriage without jeopardizing Country C's good relations with the Holy Sect.

"That sounds hardship, but it's true!" Holy King said slowly, as if he had held Finn under control. "Without the presence of the Holy Sect, they might catch you when you left the banquet hall. I won't tell you what happens if they catch you."

Finn let out a small sigh.

"Thank you for your kindness. It is late, and I would not disturb you. I will visit you when I have the opportunity."

Finn's tone was neither cringing nor arrogant. After that, he turned to leave.

"Young man, do you know what it means if you leave? It means that you will lose a beauty, the supreme power and the chance to be one of the strongest men in the world. It also means that you will lose your precious life."

Holy King uttered the four losings in one breath, and each was like a heavy hammer, beating hard in Finn's heart.

Finn, however, turned a deaf ear and walked out of the hall without looking back.

Holy King did not know that when he said those words, Finn heard Maura's voice in his heart.

"I believe in Finn."

"How did that happen? How could he make such an irrational decision?"

After Finn walked out of the banquet room without hesitation, Russell finally asked, "How did an unwise guy like him get to this point?"

Through Finn's outstanding performance in the game yesterday, Russell thought that Finn was not only superior in strength, but also had a mature outlook on the big picture and was very wise. However, what Finn just did had shaken her opinion. In her mind, most of the emotional people would only become the stepping stones for those who claimed to be King.

Russell was not lost and disappointed now, but rather angry.

For so many years, her identity and status were very noble. Countless young and powerful men wanted to gain her favor at all costs.

No matter where she went, there would be praises and compliments. Even if she asked, her pursuers would work for her regardless of the consequences, as she was the Holy Virgin of the Holy Sect, the goddess in the eyes of the world.
