Chapter 566: Chapter 562: Presumptuous! Chapter 566: Chapter 562: Presumptuous! “Let go of me, my grandfather is Marquis Oderman, you insignificant…” Three chains are wrapped around the smashed front end of a phantom machine, with each chain held firmly in the hands of three cold-faced city patrolling knights.

“Enough of your nonsense, causing harm to the royal family, even with your grandfather here, you’d face the same punishment.” Not giving the noble a chance to say more, a knight riding a dragon lion pulled a young noble out of the phantom machine, not giving a damn about his status.

Soon, one after another, nobility were dragged out of the phantom machines by the city knights. It was astonishing that with such a high-speed collision, one of the heavenly unicorns drawing Muria’s carriage was killed, even twelve exceptionally vigorous black knights intended for war were killed on the spot without a chance to recover. However, these speed-loving nobles were none the worse for wear. These men may enjoy their play, but none of them took their lives lightly.

Soon, nineteen nobles of various ages and sexes were forced by the knights to Muria’s warped and damaged carriage, their struggles futile against the knights’ grips. In the end, they’re all spoiled brats, the real elite nobility wouldn’t have time to race in the imperial capital’s airspace.

“Your Royal Highness Gladys, all the offenders are brought to your justice.” A young commander, riding a red scaled wyrm, floated in mid-air and approached the carriage, kneeling on one knee. There was a deep look of admiration in his eyes, as he was also one of many admirers of the seventh princess. He was thankful to the fools behind him for giving him this opportunity to show his face to the princess. Gratitude aside, he would not hesitate to execute them all if her highness commanded.

“…” The silence was deafening, there was no response from inside the carriage, only the cries of the remaining three heavenly unicorns could be heard, causing expressions of many observing nobles to subtly change.

“Dammit, if the princess were to be harmed by these scoundrels, all of them should be damned.” A noble who was stopped by the city knights at the scene of the accident cursed, his eyes maliciously glaring at those who were being detained. He seemed ready to pounce at any moment, the beastly fur barely visible on his face.

“Stop your nonsense, the princess has already advanced to Soul Intent. It’s just a modified phantom machine, even if she took a head-on collision, she wouldn’t be harmed.”

“So, I’m quite curious about how the princess would handle these guys. They might be a bit of a disgrace, but they are still descendants of the great nobles. If they are dealt with too severely, it would be like slapping their faces.”

“The carriage has been smashed up this much, if the punishment is too light, it would be like slapping Her Royal Highness Gladys’s face. the royal family’s dignity is not to be violated.” A noble said gravely.

…The noise from this airspace attracted more and more nobles, the gathering of aristocrats grew, all eyes were trained on the nineteen reckless nobles and the platinum carriage.

“Did I offend the Goddess of Misfortune?” Muria sat in the carriage, contemplating a question. He found that since coming to the main continent, things have not gone his way. The more he hoped for something not to happen, the more likely it would.

Like right now, the knights outside were waiting for the princess in the carriage to deal with those ‘speed racers.’ Hence, Muria felt exceptionally awkward, it was the first time he had ever felt so helpless.

“Your Royal Highness Gladys!” The kneeling knight captain raised his head and tentatively called out, uncertainty on his face, this was unlike the princess he remembered.

There was still no response, only silence. The surrounding nobles exchanged glances while the nineteen nobles forced to kneel in front of the carriage immediately began struggling. They sensed something was off.

“Let me go, you lowlifes! Her Royal Highness Gladys is not in the carriage at all, it is empty, and we did not commit the offense of assaulting the royal family.”

“That’s right, if Her Royal Highness Gladys were here, she would have come out already.”

“Get out of my way, all of you. My mother is also of royal blood, I can call Her Royal Highness Gladys sister. I hit my sister’s carriage, what right do you have to do this to me?”

…The nineteen speed-loving nobles started struggling, trying to break free from their bindings. Unfortunately, most of them were so weakened by their indulgence in wine and women, their powers were nothing more than enhancements from alchemy potions.

“Is there really no one in there?” The city knight’s captain revealed a doubtful expression on his face, Why would an empty carriage be roaming in the imperial capital’s airspace? Also, there are the unique black knight guards of the royal family with it.

“Your Highness, I apologize for my intrusion.” Not receiving a response, the hesitant knight captain stood up and mustered up the courage to approach the carriage, he lightly pushed the carriage door open.

“Bang!” A ray of spirit light shot out from the crack in the door, striking the chest plate of the young knight captain, knocking him back. He was blown away, leaving a long trail in the air.

“Cough!” The knight captain, feeling as if a giant swung a warhammer into his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood mist. His face filled with a look of disbelief and rage, he shouted, “Surround the carriage, the one inside is not the princess.”

“Whoever is hiding inside, come out or don’t blame me for being rude.” The young knight captain’s eyes were bloodshot, with streaks of blood in the whites of his eyes.

The silence was deafening. The knight captain, who had caught a fleeting glimpse of a sturdy figure inside, couldn’t bear it anymore. Summoning a long spear from his space ring, he waved it forward: “Attack, pull whoever’s inside out.”

The city knights looked at each other, feeling the order was inappropriate, but as it was an order, they had no choice but to obey. Just as they were about to attack, “Boom!” A golden thunder descended onto the knight captain, knocking him down in an instant. His body was blackened as he fell toward the ground.

“Impudent! Just a mere captain, who gave you the right to order an attack on my carriage.” A frosty voice rang out, to the nobles’ surprise, Gladys grandly dressed in palace attire, wearing black armor, and Catherine approached from the direction of the imperial palace. Their faces were ice-cold.

“Phew!” Inside the carriage, Muria took a deep breath, his expression relaxed. He didn’t want to draw too much attention to himself yet, “Finally, they’re here. They were a bit slow, but at least I’m no longer in this awkward situation.”

“The man just now must have seen me.” Muria stroked his chin, “Why was he so upset?”
