Floating in the air like an immortal.
With his elegant movement and all-white clothing, he truly looked like an immortal descending.
The moment he landed, two other elderly people in inky green clothing silently descended after him.
Adam's expression had changed as he walked up and said: "Lord Clark, Lord Kent"
Lilith's expression also changed as she respectfully stepped out and said: "Lord Clark, Lord Kent."
The two elders glanced at Adam and responded with a smile as if this were enough of a response. As for Lilith, they didn't even bother looking at her.
Baldur politely smiled and said: "Ninth brother."
He directly called him his ninth brother instead of using the greeting of the Cold Sea Sect's identity. In Baldur's eyes, Adam was basically his elder brother because he was going to marry his sister – Arianna!
Adam's expression didn't change and only showed a brief smile.
That brief smile of his contained many levels of meaning.
But the thing that only Adam knows is that his smile contained disdain and contempt.
Arianna walked out and coldly said: "Why did you come? Who is your ninth brother? Please refrain from randomly calling out names and claiming familial relationships. We really can't afford this kind of weight, oh young master of the Cold Sea Sect."
"Arianna, are you still mad at me?" Baldur's brows faintly formed a frown showing a hint of anger. But no one detected this hint of anger because he concealed it very well.
Arianna coldly laughed out once before saying: "Mad? What's there to be mad about? No matter how many women you play with out there, there's no relation to me at all. Why would I be mad? And I'm not even qualified to be mad, oh young master of the Cold Sea Sect."
Baldur's brows faintly frowned again, wanting to step forward.
Just as he stepped forward, Arianna took steps backwards.
He continued stepping forward.
Arianna directly ran up to Maxwell's side and held onto his arm. She coldly glared at Baldur as if saying "I dare you to keep coming towards me."
Baldur didn't continue walking forward and in turn glared at Maxwell coldly. He then shouted: "Remove your dog arms from her!"
Without waiting for Maxwell to respond, he then said gently to Arianna: "Arianna, don't cause trouble. I will never come in contact with those random women in the future. It was they who threw themselves at me. I really didn't form any relationships with them. In my heart, there is only you. In my entire life, there will be only you."
Maxwell directly cussed out while picking his ears. He then muttered: "I really can't continue listening to this or else my ears are going to fall off from numbness. What kind of dog fart words are those? My ears are ringing like a mess from them! Even if I use my toes to think, I can tell those crappy words are used to cheat people!"
"Hey brother, you really can't lie to women like that."
Baldur's gaze turned chilly as he glared at Maxwell before shouting: "Damn dog thing! This isn't a place for you to speak out! Quickly scram further away!"
"Baldur, stop being so presumptuous! This is the Capital City and not your Cold Sea Sect, so you should be the one scramming" said Arianna angrily. "Whoever you form relationships with has nothing to do with me. I have never liked you before so you need to stop being so full of yourself!"
From beginning to end, Arianna had never liked Baldur.
She only visited Adam in the Cold Sea Sect a few times and coincidentally, it was Baldur who received her.
After a few visits, those two were considered familiar with each other.
But unknown why…
Rumours suddenly started floating around that she had fallen in love with Baldur, and it was the crazily in love kind.
Because of this, Arianna was extremely pissed.
Baldur's reputation inside the Cold Sea Sect was rather poor, and there were rumors that he had once tried courting Lilith. And not long ago, a piece of news broke out that he had engaged in a fight in the Capital City's Flowering Pavilion because of a courtesan.
The more the rumour spread, the more savage it became.
The Cold Sea Sect's leader, Baldur Senior directly brought Baldur to the Capital City to propose a marriage.
Many generations of the Cold Sea Sect members had good relations with the Evans Kingdom, and Baldur had good looks along with an excellent martial talent – he was already a King rank expert at 27 years old. Therefore, the marriage was agreed upon behind closed doors.
The day of the engagement ceremony, Arianna ran away from the affair.
Baldur was trying to be nice to Arianna but currently, his face showed a rather ugly look. He then coldly glared at Maxwell and said with disdain: "It was him that kidnapped you? You damn dog thing, you even dare to kidnap my woman? Watch how I'll cripple you today!"
"You dare?!" Arianna shouted while glaring at Baldur.
"Lord Clark, this place is the Capital City and he's also my friend." Adam's voice had turned serious and his tone had a trace of anger. If it weren't for giving the Cold Sea Sect some face, he would've had his people take action already.
Bullying his idol was equivalent to bullying him.
Within the Capital City, who would he be afraid of?
Clark softly said: "Your highness, he is a wanted criminal and his arrest warrant has already been issued. Inside any part of the Evans Kingdom territory, he is considered a wanted criminal. Capturing wanted criminals is a responsibility that any good citizen of the Evans Kingdom should do."
Kent immediately added: "Kidnapping the Princess is a serious crime. Any fugitive caught should be immediately killed on sight to set an example to others. This would prove to the world that whoever dares to kidnap a Princess, the only outcome is death."
"Oh?!"
"When did the Cold Sea Sect become citizens of the Evans Kingdom? How come I didn't know about it?" John lightly chuckled as he came over next to Maxwell while his body was continuously releasing a formless energy.
He was protecting Maxwell.
The strength of those two was not simple.
They were the Cold Sea Sect's Lords, and Baldur's confidants. If those two made a move, Maxwell would be instantly killed.
James also came over and said: "We're not in a rush so why is the Cold Sea Cloud Sect in such a rush? Does the Princess look like she has been kidnapped? Anyone with eyes can clearly see what's going on. And did you think his majesty the King doesn't know his daughter is here? The Capital City is only so big so do you think they can escape the spiritual senses of an expert at the Saint rank? He didn't send the Palace Guards here because he knows the Princess wasn't kidnapped."
Those two were releasing a formless energy, secretly guarding against any sneak attacks by Lord Clark or Kent.
Maxwell naturally understood this as he felt grateful inside.
The expressions of both Lord's hiddenly changed as they could sense this energy as well.
Inside the palace of the Evans Kingdom was an old ancestor at the Saint rank, so how could he not have noticed what was going on?
Those two indeed had thoughts of sneak attacking Maxwell. Even if everyone here was eloquent enough with their excuses, in the end, Maxwell was still a wanted fugitive of the government. But once John and James stepped out, those two had lost their chance.
At this time…
Baldur's face had an ugly expression on it.
A pair of cold eyes glared at Maxwell and said: "What kind of crap do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to steal my woman?"
"Baldur, don't be so presumptuous!" Princess Arianna's majestic aura exploded.
Maxwell didn't say anything and only coldly smiled in response.
Baldur then said with disdain: "You damn dog thing, what are you smiling at? Are you even qualified to smile at this time?"
Immediately after…
Baldur continued saying with disdain: "You're a good fighter right? If you have the guts, then fight a round with me. Whoever loses shall scram far away and never appear in the Capital City ever again."
At this time…
Arianna didn't say anything more and only looked at Maxwell seriously.
When Maxwell looked at her and noticed the heat in her eyes, he faintly smiled in response. He then turned to stare at Baldur and shouted in a domineering tone: "If you want to die, then this I shall fulfil your wish!"
Arianna's current age still defined her as a clueless young girl.
She had always dreamed of a great hero that would fend off the wind and rain for her.
She once thought that the ninth brother's idol was the only person that fit that great hero image, because only a man capable of those deeds could fit those shoes.
Now…
Her heart was about to melt.
Because the great hero image of her heart had appeared.
Maxwell had become angry for a female confidant.
She was that female confidant. Arianna's heart was beating like crazy as if it had eaten honey.
Every young girl would yearn for someone to block in front when they encountered trouble, fighting for their sake. Arianna had yearned for such a scene many times in the past, but today's scenario was something she hadn't thought of before.
Arianna drunkenly stared at Maxwell.
