Chapter 128: 127 Just Kill

When the commoners heard Marquis Wyatt of the Solaris family announcing his own arrival, they paled. 

"Oh no! The Marquis Wyatt must be looking for the Saintess to take revenge for his son! I have to warn the Saintess!" A mother exclaimed. 

This was the same mother, who had her child and husband beaten by the young noble. She was indebted to the Saintess and wished to repay her in every way she could. 

Since she could think of warning the Saintess, others could too. They all rushed to the Aria's tent to warn her. 

"Saintess! You must hide! Marquis Wyatt is here!" The commoners exclaimed loudly. 

Karen couldn't help but felt worried for her daughter, when she saw how the people reacted. 

She felt warm for their concern, but this wasn't how they should be showing it. 

They heard Marquis Wyatt announcing his arrival, loud and clear. They didn't need to repeat it so loudly. It wasn't helping at all! 

These people were trying to help, but in fact, if Marquis Wyatt really came with ill intentions, their actions would be no different to pushing their Saintess into the fire pit. 

Marquis Wyatt naturally saw the crowd's reaction and followed them with a chuckle. 

These people were so simple minded, it's cute. However, for the Saintess to garner such fervent support, the person couldn't be simple. Marquis Wyatt was filled with greater anticipation.

This was someone who might be able to help him breakthrough the last hurdle to achieve his wind ability.

"Oh no! Marquis Wyatt followed us!"

The crowd was instantly filled with regret when they realized they were tailed by the marquis. They looked at him vigilantly.

"Be at ease, I did not come to look for trouble." Marquis Wyatt said coolly with a gesture to lower the crowd's weariness.

At this moment, Aria came out to face the marquis. Her facial expression was unreadable.

"You're not here for revenge?" Aria asked calmly. There was a cold undertone that was a result of her natural habits in dealing with strangers that made her seem aloof and untouchable.

The marquis stood upright with a respectful and genial expression. He needed to ask for a favor from the other party and shouldn't behave unpleasantly.

"No, of course not. There would have been no trouble, had he not went to look for it. My son's beating was well deserved and justified." Marquis said courtly. 

His behavior contradicted his original intention. That was before he found out the other party possessed dual elements of higher order. If it was any other commoner that thrashed his son, he would have made them pay a painful price. 

Aria kept silent and stared at the marquis quietly without a word. She didn't like to speak so much to nobles, but from her silent language, she was basically telling him 'if you are not here for revenge then what are you here for?'

Aria was immediately at a loss for words. Her lightning element was gained upon awakening, but her ice element magically appeared later out of the blue. It was like the element had manifested itself in her from the goddess in her dreams. Even if she explained it, the other party may not believe it.

However, her brows further creased at the second part of the Marquis Wyatt's words. She wasn't stupid and obviously knew that her dual element was quite unique. This person wanted to learn her secret in exchange for an empty promise? It was no different to giving away her secret for free.

What was the worth of a noble's favor anyway? They only know how to exploit commoners and couldn't be trusted.

Perhaps the marquis was only behaving respectably to her because he wanted something from her. Her cool expression grew noticeably colder and retained her silence. This was a wolf posing as a gentleman.

Marquis Wyatt's smile froze when he felt the coldness. As a noble, he was courteous enough and asked nicely enough, yet the other party was not unwilling to divulge the secret? Madness flashed in his eyes. He had to learn her secret at all cost! He already comprehended the wind laws. He was just missing that last unknown piece of the puzzle to form his wind seed!

"It's a great honor for a commoner to be owed a favor by the Solaris family. Don't refuse a toast, only to drink a forfeit, young lady." Marquis Wyatt spoke impatiently with a deep tone. His smile had disappeared. It was already rare for a noble of his stature to treat a commoner so courteously. This person just doesn't know how much of an honor it is.

"…" Aria continued her silence as she studied what the marquis would do.

"Since you don't know how to appreciate what's good for you. Don't blame me for what I'm about to do!" Marquis Wyatt said with a nasty expression. He had dropped all pretense and courtesy.

"What do you want to do?"

A cold voice suddenly interrupted from behind him. Marquis Wyatt was forced to turn around and look. A young man of similar age to the Saintess appeared before him in black attire, without any noteworthy crest or insignia to denote his status.

Marquis Wyatt did not place the newcomer in his eyes. Just commoner brat trying to be a hero, he concluded. However, a smile appeared on Aria' face when she saw who arrived.

"Piss off, commoner." Marquis Wyatt said disdainfully before refocusing his sight on the Saintess.

Leon eyes narrowed as he immediately sentenced this person to death. The discrimination against commoners appeared to be a distinctive trait of most nobles, but it wasn't enough to warrant them death. The noble deserved death because of who he wanted to harm Aria.

Marquis Wyatt suddenly felt a burst of wind rushing behind him. He turns back in shock when he realized he had severely underestimated the young man.

His reaction was quick, but Leon was quicker. Before he knew it, he was being lifted off his feet as Leon gripped him by the throats and raised him high.

Marquis Wyatt first thoughts wasn't how the brat was able to do, but how he had the courage to do it. He felt humiliated.

"How dare you!" Marquis Wyatt howled.

He grabbed onto the wrist in front of him and wanted to twist it into a mangled mess to release himself. His face grew red with popping veins before he realizing he was incapable of doing so. His strength was inferior to the brat, but how was that possible? He looked back at the 'brat' with eyes widened in horror and disbelief.

"I-Impossible!"

It wasn't until Leon started leaking his killing intent did Marquis Wyatt start fearing for his life.

"W-Wait! You can't kill me! I'm a marquis!"

"What's so good about being a marquis? You're only holding an empty title with meagre power and no land. Five hundred years ago, a 7th step Marquis might have been someone of notable status, but now, it doesn't amount to shit. Only good for bullying the weak." Leon said disdainfully.

Marquis Wyatt flushed with shame. He wanted to refute, but it was true that he was weaker than young man in front of him. It was usually the nobles that looked down on commoners, when was it the commoner's turn to look down on nobles?

It was at this time, Howard and the other palace guards, whom were lagging behind Leon, finally caught up. It wasn't Leon's problem if they could keep up with him. He didn't need to waste time moving at their pace.

When Marquis Wyatt saw the palace guards, he was ecstatic.

"Ughk- Save me! This commoner is trying to murder me!" Marquis Wyatt exclaimed, under Leon's tightening grip.

Howard and the palace guards only spared him a brief glance, before proceeding to ignore him and face the 'commoner' with a salute of utmost respect.

"Your highness. Whatever crimes the marquis had committed, he can't be killed until he is tried and judged before the law." Howard said helplessly. Following the prince had turning into a daily exercise routine.

"I have committed no crime!" Marquis Wyatt quickly said, before his brain registered the term 'your highness'. He immediately paled after.

Your highness!? This person was the prince!? I-It's over… he called the prince a commoner and tried to make a move on the prince's woman.

"If I want to kill him, no one can stop me." Leon said overbearingly.

There wasn't so much nonsense in the Divine Realm. When there's a disagreement, just kill. Did his mother care about such things when she wanted to kill someone? No!

The palace guards rubbed their helmets with wry smiles. They advised the prince out of good will to avoid complications, but they wouldn't stop him. Why would they offend the prince for a marquis?

Marquis Wyatt realized that the palace guard's presence couldn't help his situation at all! He felt angry at the prince's disregard for the law!

"You can't do this! The ancestors of the Solaris family have contributed much for the founding of the kingdom!" Marquis Wyatt roared.

Leon looked at him nonchalantly like he was looking at a dead man and said, "So what? Your ancestor's contribution isn't an excuse for the descendants to act atrociously."

CRACK!

Leon snapped his neck and ended his life without further words. He didn't give a shit what Marquis Wyatt thought in his final moments.

He wasn't done after the marquis died. He seeped his divine sense into the ownerless body and ripped out the dissipating fire seed and devoured it. After the time it takes a joss stick to burn, Leon finished refining all the essence from the fire seed and elevated his fire abilities to the 6th step.

The palace guards looked at him like he was monster, but he didn't care and only looked at Aria and asked softly with a light smile, "Am I scary?"

Aria shook her head and dove into his arms.

"Come, call your parents out. I'll take you all to the palace." Leon said warmly.
