Volume 8 Chapter 58: Let Me Deal With This Pest, Princess. 

"Presenting the princess of the Solis Kingdom, Carolyn Sol Gerard," Masked Thief announced as he moved his mantle away. That caused everyone to gasp. Carolyn had now changed into a beautiful white gown. It had a light tint of purple to make it celestial. That dress before didn't do it justice; it hid the princess's beauty. What was more, the make-up was changed as well. It was lighter and delicate; clearly, it was done by an expert.

This gown. Carolyn blinked as she glanced at Masked Thief. She couldn't see his face, but the feeling was enough. 

"Leader know how to apply make-up?" Arlo muttered. 

"I have to ask when we return." Scarlet was quite curious and eager.

"...You understand he's in a bind, right?" Jack blinked. Did they forget where they were? Let's not talk about make-up and look at what's going on! 

"You dare-"

"A marriage for a lady should be the happiest and most joyous day of their life. And yet, the only things I could see in your eyes were sadness and loneliness, Princess." Masked Thief stared at Carolyn, "Before I steal my treasure, Princess, do you really want to marry someone like this?" 

"What are you saying?!" Felix rose up, but he was instantly shot down! 

"The princess is the only one that shall speak. Please mind your tongue, Prince." Masked Thief shook his head. 

"Anyone that disrupts will be flicked in the head," Masked Thief warned as he turned to the others.

"..." That shut them up. 

"Princess, please say your words with peace of mind."

Carolyn looked up at him, "...Can I really trust you? Will you protect me?"

"As long as I'm here, no one shall harm you or anyone for that matter," But as he was going to, Masked Thief raised his staff and blocked the sword coming his way!

There was one person who wasn't afraid of this threat. He was the strongest in the Philosopher Kingdom, the sword saint. 

"Boy, this is not your place. Get out of here before you do something you regret." Isaac whispered low enough for only the two to hear. He was one of the people who knew this masked Thief's identity.

"How rude of you to interrupt a lady's words." Masked Thief pushed Isaac backward. He turned to Carolyn, "Princess if you wait a moment, let me deal with this pest." 

"..." Carolyn's face turned red.

"Isaac, kill him!" Harold ordered.

"...Understood." You lost last time while I was held back. Do you think you can stop me? Isaac frowned. There was no need to do so as he dashed at the boy with his sword raised! However, Masked Thief made his move as well! 

What?! Isaac quickly raised his sword, but he was blown away. Masked Thief stated, "I'm a gentleman of my word. And you can't defeat me, Sword Saint." With those final words, Masked Thief disappeared from his position. 

Isaac raised his sword, and yet, 

"Too slow." 

"Ugh!" Isaac went down like a giant tree.

"..." Absolute silence!

"He defeated the sword saint in one move!" One person roared. That only caused the others to shout! The sword saint, the most powerful swordsman, was defeated in a blow!

"…How many did you see?" Cedric muttered to Lionel.

"12. Before the saint could make a move, he made 12 strikes." Lionel smiled in proudness. 

"Damn, I could only see 10," Cedric groaned. 

You guys aren't going to talk about how he took out the sword saint?! William, Julius, and Edmund couldn't help but retort in his mind. 

Rather than the process, the result was more unbelievable. 

Edmund turned to William, "Sir William, your son is quite a prodigy." Prodigy wasn't the best word to describe him. He was more of a monster.

Masked Thief walked before Carolyn, "Princess, what do you have to say about this?"

"Um." 

"If you say that you want to get married, then I would stop all of this, steal my treasure, and leave. But if you don't, then I will save you from this situation."

You're really putting me on the spot. Now, all eyes were on the girl: whatever she said would decide everything.

Carolyn stared at the Thief's face. She couldn't see his eyes, but from his aura alone, she could tell he was serious. 

Can I be selfish? Can I really choose? She remembered what Thalia and Keith had said. She took a deep breath as she shouted,

"I don't want to get married!"

"What?"

"I don't want to get married like this. I don't want my life to be used like a pawn. I want to love someone based on who I like!" Everything came out of her mouth.

"Carolyn! What are you saying!" Alger's eyes hollowed, "Are you going to throw everything out because of this."

"Alger, you had pushed everything so suddenly!" Carolyn glared at the prince. 

"What do you mean?!"

"You kept saying we're getting married, married this, and married that!" Everything was all too sudden for her to process.  

"Just shut up and let this happen, you damn stupid broad!" Alger roared, "You just need to listen to my words and submit!"

"No, I won't! I will never again!" Carolyn shouted. It was her fault for following everything he said and going with the flow. Not anymore! She wasn't going to listen! 

This was her life. 

Alger's facade disappeared as he raised his hand to slap Carolyn. It seemed he had forgotten who was with her. 

"To raise your hand at a lady, have you no etiquette." Catching his hand, he said, "Give me a second," In an instant, he disappeared from the church!

"Son!" Harold froze. But the thief reappeared quickly.

"Sorry about that, Princess?"

"Where did you take him?!"

"Oh, you can see him right now." With another tap to the ground, videos started to show. Alger was in his underwear and tied in front of the royal capital square for everyone to witness!

"You bastard!" This whole marriage was being broadcast between two kingdoms! Utter humiliation! 

"The real bastard should be you people," Masked Thief shook his head, "To sacrifice the princess to only kill the people she's trying to protect?"

"..." Harold froze. 

"...Sacrifice?" Julius's expression changed. Everyone in the Solis Kingdom also turned dark.

"What are you talking about?"

"Here." Masked Thief raised an orb, and a recording showed,

"She must be able to use grand-level magic! If she can do so, we can use Sirius to wipe out that dragon and any nation who comes our way!" Harold's eyes were menacing and dark as he said this. This was not the end, as Alger questioned, "Where are you going to fire it?"

"Of course, at the Solis Kingdom. There can't be two powerhouses." There could only be one. 

"That girl is such a dumb child. Does she think she could save her people by sacrificing herself to this marriage?"

"..." The recording ended like that.
