Chapter 275 – The One Who Will Save the Princess

“As long as we can move fast enough, and divert Greenton in advance, he might not be able to stop us in time… the Holy Light Church is even easier to take of. Since your sister controls the Winterless City dioceses, if you attack Winterless, not only would she not resist, she’ll even secretly help you… Heino Kingdom, Gotham Kingdom and Lin Heyan Kingdom wouldn’t be able to easily help. The idiotic four kingdom alliance has a stupidly slow response time, so they wouldn’t be able to dispatch their troops in time. So, our only enemy left is the Lombard Kingdom army, and they are nothing to you, Lin Xiao.”

Elena’s tone never changed, but it carried a King of the world, no one can stop me domineering air.

Come and conquer the world and become an invincible monarch with me… those were the feelings that Lin Xiao could read from her words.

Even if she appeared to be a beautiful big breasted maid, don’t forget that she for a short while, she was the ruler of all demons. She once controlled the vicious Forest of the End, and once had those strong demonic beasts beneath her feet, making them submit to her.

So as a cruel, prideful and dignified monarch, saying something like that wasn’t strange.

Not only that, it wasn’t an exaggeration, it was a completely plausible plan!

Perhaps to the rest of the world, Lin Xiao was but a poor student that wasn’t even worth mentioning, but he actually possessed enough power to change the continent.

That was something he wasn’t even aware of himself.

Elena, as his slave, as the maid he trained, was willing to give her all to help him. As long as he took her back to the Forest of the End, purged the traitors and helped her regain power. At that time, as the Demon King, she wouldn’t forget to thank and repay him by leading the demon army with Lin Xiao.

On the other hand, as the religion with the most believers in Eileen, the Holy Light Church had enough power to go against the demons, but don’t forget, the revered Saintess Snow was Lin Xiao’s sister!

Although Elena didn’t know why Snow was firmly set on having a useless brother, she believed that Snow would be willing to do anything for him as long as he asked.

Not just attacking Winterless City, even if Lin Xiao wanted her to betray the church and make an enemy of the Goddess, that blind girl would follow his orders.

As soon as the battle started, the entire Winterless City dioceses would be under Snow’s control, even if the Pope brought the Crucifix Guards from the Holy City, they would be too late to change the outcome.

The powerful demon army, the loyal Holy Church mole, and Lin Xiao himself was also a genius magician.

At that time, he could probably take on the entire Lombard Kingdom army just by himself, along with Elena’s and Snow’s support, a mere Winterless City would be nothing.

At that time, he would lead a powerful army to break through the city, finishing off King William, kick away the arrogant Prince Caesar and snatch and wed ShenDai Ying.

“So, are you willing?”

“I…” Lin Xiao fell silent.

“Don’t think that I’m joking. Lin Xiao, as long as you nod, I will definitely fulfill my promise… you help me purge the traitors and I will correspondingly become your sword and help you with this battle… this is my promise as the Demon King.”

“Hmm…”

No matter how moving or how beautiful Elena was able to make it, Lin Xiao still made a thinking pose.

He could definitely see the beautiful vision that Elena was depicting, and he believed that she would keep her promise, but he…

“But you’re too afraid to agree, right?”

Elena squinted and used a mocking tone to reply for Lin Xiao who remained silent.

“No, it’s not that you don’t dare, but you don’t want to… getting a dog who likes to eat shit to eat meat is a very difficult thing, right?”

“Hey, that’s an inappropriate analogy, it’s more like, I’m a normal person that’s used to plain and simple meals and don’t want to live an extravagant lifestyle eating luxurious foods.”

“Hehe, you don’t have the right to say something like that right now with your mouth covered in grease.”

“Aren’t you also enjoying it a lot?” Lin Xiao wiped his mouth with a red face and changed the topic.

“Hmph, I’m not the same as you.” Elena also blushed but still continued calmly mocking him, “Lin Xiao, I remember that you said your dream was to become a reserve hero… stop joking, you just want to become a good-for-nothing without any responsibility. The so-called reserve hero is just an excuse to deceive others and yourself.”

“S-so what? What’s wrong with being a good-for-nothing? Who says that useless trash doesn’t deserve to live?” Lin Xiao obstinately retorted.

“No, you of course deserve to live, no matter how much I call you a pervert, or trash, you’ll still live and humanity’s Goddess wouldn’t abandon you because of that.”

“In that case, then…”

“But Lin Xiao, you’re forgetting something.” Elena interrupted him and seriously stared at his evasive eyes and spoke word by word, “In fairy tales, trash can’t save the princess, only a prince can.”

“Save the princess, only a prince? … Heh… hehe… hahaha!”

A bitter laugh, a gentle laugh, and roaring laughter… at the start Lin Xiao just snorted, then his laughter became louder and louder, even an insane laugh like he was descending into madness, giving everyone sitting at their table the chills. Fortunately the hall was very noisy so it didn’t cause a disturbance.

After all that Elena said, that was the only line that hit Lin Xiao in his sore spot.

That’s right, even in stories, the one who saves the princess is the prince, trash can’t become the protagonist.

Lin Xiao obviously knew that, the reason he laughed was because he was laughing at himself for being cowardly and incompetent.

He never would have thought that after all that, the only one who truly understood him was actually Elena, only Elena could see through his pretense dream and his naive thinking of trash being able to save the princess.

One was an ordinary transmigrator, one was the former Demon King’s daughter. They were completely unrelated strangers that would have never become related, but somehow a strange understanding formed between them.

“Elena, you’re right, even if you’re willing to be my sword, I don’t want to be a king, because I’m too lazy.” Lin Xiao stopped laughing and shook his head.

His dream was to laze around and wait for death! How could he be the one to lead an army into battle? Rather than being some bullshit ruler, he would rather sleep comfortably at home. With such thinking, it was destined that he couldn’t become a king.

“But Elena, this world isn’t a fairy tale, who says that the person who saves the princess has to be a prince?”

“Heh, Lin Xiao, there’s a limit to deceiving yourself.”

“D-don’t worry… Elena, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking, you just want to trick me back to the Forest of the End, right? I’m not going with you!”

“Haha? You promised that you would help me purge the traitors, y-you can’t go back on your word! Damn pervert, don’t be foolish, I’m leaving sooner or later, I can’t be your maid for life!” Elena got anxious when she heard that he doesn’t want to go.

“Hmph, that’s not up to you! If you want to leave, then have kids with me! I would be happy to satisfy you!”

“Y-you pervert with a mind full of lust… I’ll kill you sooner or later!”

“Elena, I’m already tired of hearing that, change up your threats next time… also, you should call me master! Even if you want to call me a pervert, don’t forget your identity!”

“Okay, perverted master!”

“Hmm… although that sounds pretty good, can you call me that a couple more times?”

“Hah? Y-you really are an incorrigible pervert!”

Seeing Elena’s humiliated expression, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth and revealed a happy smile.

Because of her, his gloom lessened, although the problem still hasn’t been solved, and the discussion of who will save the princess hasn’t been resolved, but no matter what, he took a clear look at himself and the path he will walk.

He was a lazy good-for-nothing not the king of the world, but he definitely wont give up on ShenDai Ying, and won’t give up on his dream of saving the princess.

There was still half a year until the wedding, a lot of time, so what’s there to be afraid of? If he really can’t then he can still attack Winterless City with Elena, but that was his trump card.

But kidnapping the bride with demons, that might be derailing too much, Lin Xiao still wanted to think of a foolproof method to solve the problem. And even if he did snatch her away, at that time if ShenDai Ying doesn’t want to go with him, wouldn’t that be awkward?

But what better way does he have, that…

There’s still half a year left, he can surely think of a way with his intellect!

Definitely…
