Chapter 271: THE DATE (VII)

WULFRIC was shocked when he saw Aster jumping over the swords. His heart tightened. And his first thought was; 'What if Aster trip over? Wouldn't it hurt?'

"Those swords, are they real?" he asked in a grave voice.

Seeing the blond guy's murderous expression, the woman playing the queen felt her knees buckled. She felt like if she said 'yes', this man wouldn't hesitate to choke her to death. This was probably the first time in her life that she felt such intense pressure. 

"No, no, of course not," she quickly said to save her life. "It's all props!"

"Hmp."

This simple 'hmp' put a chill behind the woman's back. She almost kneeled down and asked the other for mercy. Thankfully, the murderous atmosphere slowly died down. She held her chest and thought, [What the heck is wrong with this guy? One moment he's proud, one moment he's shy, then one moment he's homicidal. Are you a psycho?]

The woman shivered thinking she's in the presence of someone similar to a serial killer. 

Wulfric, who had no idea that the woman had already suspected him of being a serial killer, turned his attention back to the virtual screen. 

Aster had now jumped over the third pair of swords. The other's movement was very lithe, as if he was used to such physical movements. But then he remembered when the two of them first met. Aster tried to fight back and even managed to point a knife on his junior down there. 

This just showed that the other had a bit of training. Considering Reas' skills, it would be much weirder if Aster didn't know how to fight. But suddenly remembering their first meeting, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. 

If he thought about it now, he really wanted to punch himself in the face. How could he be so shameless then? It's no wonder Aster would dislike him.

He shook his head. No, it's all in the past. He's doing good now. Although he couldn't change some of his core characters, it's still enough to not annoy Aster and show the other his bad side. 

Looking back at the virtual screen, Aster had already arrived at front of the door to the throne room. The virtual screen disappeared at the point where Aster pushed the door. Wulfric quickly turned to that direction.

The door opened and Aster walked in. The moment the other did, a golden cage suddenly surrounded Wulfric. He frowned and looked at the cage that suddenly appeared. Where did this cage came from? He was instantly annoyed. Especially since the cage appeared when he was about to rush to Aster.

The woman playing the queen immediately felt the change in atmosphere around the blond guy. Her knees almost buckled again. My ancestor! She really wanted to simply give the key to the brown-haired teenager and let the two get out of here so she wouldn't be around this psycho anymore!

But if she did that, the management might deduct a few days of wages from her. So, she had to at least make it look like she was making an effort to play her role.

"If you want to save the princess, you have to get the key from this queen!" she said, trying to sound majestic. Squeezing all the acting talent she possessed.

And then she felt the blond guy's sharp gaze on her. The expression on her face almost collapsed because of it. [Mom! Can you let me go? I'm only doing my job!]

Astrid looked interestingly at the scene inside the throne room. It had the typical design, except that it was darker and had an overall creepy atmosphere. 

A woman was sitting on the throne chair. She was wearing an all-black dress with dark make-up. A crown was also atop her head. Although what she said was pretty arrogant, the expression on her face didn't match it at all. It's like she wanted to take a dump but couldn't. 

Astrid was very amused by this. Then, she turned to his 'princess'. Wulfric was sitting very comfortably inside a golden cage. He had low pressure around him, as if he was ready to beat someone. But when Wulfric saw Astrid looking at him, his face brightened like a spring flower.

"Aster!" he called and even waved excitedly.

The woman playing the queen who saw this only thought of one word, 'psycho!'.

Astrid smiled back before looking at the queen. "Hello, Your Majesty. What do I need to do to get the key?"

Hearing this polite tone and seeing the teenager's smile, the grievance in the woman's heart finally lessened a bit. Then, she felt pity for the other. Having such a crazy boyfriend, this kid was definitely unlucky.

"If you can make me get up from my seat without using any force, then this queen will give you the key," she said, trying to sound majestic.

  Astrid tilted his head, thinking of how to get the woman off her seat. The easiest way was to use his mental force. But he wasn't that ruthless to use it on an unsuspecting woman who hadn't done anything wrong to him.

Then, he could only use one method.

He walked up to the end of the stairs leading up to the throne where the woman was sitting. 

"So, does that mean that I—"

He stopped talking and clutched his chest. Then, he deliberately made it look like he had trouble breathing. Of course, he made sure to show a pained expression. Something that would make anyone who would look at him worry. 

When the woman saw this, she felt panicked. "You—what's wrong? Are you- are you okay?"

Seeing that the woman still didn't get up from her seat, Astrid gasped and then knelt down, still clutching at his chest. He wheezed and let out painful grunts.

The woman finally stood up and ran to him. But before he could celebrate, he heard Wulfric shouting his name. And then, he felt his body suddenly floating up. 

It was only then that he noticed that a pair of strong arms was carrying him – princess style!
