"This... His Excellency Mi Jiaro, didn't His Holiness the Pope agree?"

Si Liya looked at Mi Jiaro in astonishment.

With a puzzled look, Mi Jiaro said, "You're very strange. The godfather agreed that you could invite us, but didn't say we must go. The godfather told me to follow Mr. Jiang. If I don't follow Mr. Jiang, who do I follow? And, why say Mr. Jiang is unworthy? I actually think you are unworthy to command Mr. Jiang."

"I..." Si Liya was dumbfounded, exclaiming, "I am unworthy to command him?"

"Of course!"

Mi Jiaro nodded as if it were obvious: "You're merely a Semi Innate Grand Master, yet you're commanding Mr. Jiang around. If I were him, I would smack you to death!"

Leaving the astonished Si Liya behind, Mi Jiaro stood up and left the pavilion to pack his things.

"Duke Pu Losi, sorry, the Holy Court's affairs are busy, I can't leave. As for the queen's birthday, as per usual, let a vice-captain of the Knights of the Round Table and two adjudicators attend."

Fa Rang spoke indifferently, giving Si Liya a disdainful glance before rising to exit the pavilion.

"No, Lord Fa Rang..." Si Liya still wanted to fight for it, but Fa Rang instantly left the pavilion, not giving her a chance to speak.

Pu Losi frowned at Si Liya: "Si Liya, I can understand you inviting Lord Fa Rang and His Excellency the Saint Heir, but why are you targeting Mr. Jiang?"

"Can't I target him?"

Si Liya said righteously, "When His Holiness the Pope left, he didn't even greet me, but greeted him. Why?"

Pu Losi was taken aback, exclaiming, "Just because of that?"

"Of course!"

Si Liya nodded heavily: "As a noble princess of Y Country, he is just a commoner. His Holiness can choose not to greet me, but not greeting me while greeting that Jiang Chen, that's Jiang Chen's fault!"

"You..." Pu Losi frowned: "You've been spoiled!"

"It's not my fault, it's Jiang Chen's fault. He shouldn't have overshadowed me! This time His Excellency Mi Jiaro and Lord Fa Rang aren't going, it's also his fault!"

Si Liya said angrily, turning to glare at the stairs.

Pu Losi felt a sense of absurdity, a deep confusion in his eyes.

Si Liya wasn't like this before?

Clunk, clunk, clunk!

The sound of footsteps resounded as Jiang Chen descended the stairs with a backpack and cane.

Glancing at the two, Jiang Chen nodded at Pu Losi and then turned to walk out of the pavilion.

"Stop!"

Si Liya shouted, quickly stepping in front of Jiang Chen to block his path: "I order you to get His Excellency Mi Jiaro and Lord Fa Rang to attend my grandmother's birthday banquet, or I'll have the Royal Family issue a warrant for your arrest!"

"You can try." Jiang Chen spoke irritably, bypassing Si Liya and heading towards the door.

"I said stop!"

Buzz!

Si Liya's aura appeared, reaching for Jiang Chen's neck, her hand carrying a forceful Qi Force with a hint of killing intent.

Buzz!

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes as a stern killing intent erupted from him, turning to glare coldly at Si Liya.

Si Liya's body shuddered, a look of fear appearing in her eyes, her outstretched hand stopping abruptly in mid-air.

Snap!

As Si Liya's hand halted, Pu Losi grabbed her hand, pulling her back forcibly.

"Si Liya, stop it!"

Pu Losi scolded Si Liya, turning to Jiang Chen: "I apologize, Mr. Jiang, Si Liya, she..."

"In your Royal Family, perhaps you all spoil her, but outside, no one will."

Jiang Chen spoke indifferently: "Mr. Pu Losi, this is the only time. Anyone who harbors murderous intent towards me will die. For your sake, I forgive her this time, but not again!"

Having said that, Jiang Chen stepped out of the pavilion.

"You dare kill me? You..."

Si Liya panicked inside, followed by a wave of anger as she yelled at Jiang Chen's retreating figure.

"Enough!"

Pu Losi shouted lowly, frowning at Si Liya: "Si Liya, why did you harbor murderous intent towards Mr. Jiang?"

"I..." Si Liya panicked, her eyes flickering, avoiding Pu Losi's gaze.

Pu Losi spoke gravely: "Tell me, why!"

"Why can't I harbor murderous intent towards him? He didn't respect me, so he deserves to die!" Si Liya shouted loudly, though her bravado was thin.

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed as Pu Losi slapped Si Liya's face, yelling:

"Stop being unreasonable here with me. Tell me, why did you harbor murderous intent towards Mr. Jiang? Let me tell you, Si Liya, this is the last time I'm asking. If you don't say, when we return, I'll report this truthfully to your mother. You dare display your princess airs in the Holy Court and proclaim your noble status before Lord Fa Rang and His Excellency the Saint Heir, see if your mother will still pamper you like before!"

"I..."

Si Liya was stunned by the slap, panic overtaking her expression at Pu Losi's words.

The Holy Court is a special entity. Even if the Queen of Y Country meets Fa Rang and Mi Jiaro, she must be courteous, and yet she was putting on airs. Even if the target of her airs wasn't Fa Rang and Mi Jiaro, it was still disrespectful to them!

"I'll speak!"

Thinking of the Queen truly getting angry, Si Liya wilted immediately. The Queen was Si Liya's favorite grandmother, but at the same time, she was also the person Si Liya feared most.

"It was... Uncle Si Mo'er told me to do it. He said that Jiang Chen is an arrogant guy who should be taught a lesson, and if possible, killed. He believes Jiang Chen harbors no goodwill towards our Y Country Royal Family, and if we don't kill him, it will bring trouble to the Royal Family!" Si Liya whispered timidly.

"Damn Si Mo'er!"

Pu Losi cursed angrily, looking at Si Liya, noticing the palm imprint on her face, a flash of pity in his eyes as he reached out to touch Si Liya's hair:

"Si Liya, I thought you were acting a bit odd today. Although you're usually pampered, you haven't been as unreasonable as today!"

Pu Losi's expression turned stern as he said solemnly: "Listen carefully, Mr. Jiang, in some respects, the power he can represent is not inferior to our Royal Family. Si Mo'er is targeting Mr. Jiang because of a personal grudge. Think carefully. If Mr. Jiang truly only posed a threat of bringing trouble to our Royal Family, why didn't Si Mo'er handle him personally?"

"This... Uncle Si Mo'er said he couldn't act personally." Si Liya said softly.
