Charlotte regained virtual-novel.net footing before Kendrick could get closer. After all, virtual-novel.net was a warrior, and virtual-novel.net physique was stronger than mortals. Then, Charlotte took a deep breath, and virtual-novel.net mind became clearer.
Charlotte looked at Kendrick and hurriedly said, “Dear senior, please help Casper. Steve seems to have cast some type of spell on him.”
“Casper’s already an Abomination. Now, the more important thing is your state,” Kendrick replied as virtual-novel.net stared at Charlotte. Kendrick felt his body getting hotter and his throat dried at the sight of virtual-novel.net smooth and slender neck, as well as virtual-novel.net delicate skin that glowed softly.
“What?! An Abomination?!” Charlotte exclaimed. She still did not notice Kendrick’s gaze, and virtual-novel.net mumbled, “Abomination? How… How did virtual-novel.net turn into an Abomination…”
Even though virtual-novel.net did not officially set foot on the pathway to immortality yet, Charlotte still knew some common knowledge. An Abomination was not tolerated anywhere, and cultivators and monsters would kill it at sight. If Caspian became an Abomination, then his promising future would be destroyed!
“Why… Why…” Charlotte murmured, virtual-novel.net heart aching badly.
At that time, Charlotte caught sight of the Gate of Death’s pattern on Caspian’s chest, which was so lifelike that it could terrify anyone at first glance. The scene of Caspian being attacked by the bones appeared in virtual-novel.net mind, causing Charlotte’s vision to turn blurry, and virtual-novel.net body staggered again.
She simply could not accept that fact.
Kendrick’s voice suddenly sounded, “When I arrived, only Steve, Casper, and Your Highness were in the cave. Now that Casper has become an Abomination. Just to be on the safe side, Your Highness…”
Before Kendrick could finish his sentence, virtual-novel.net saw Charlotte looking at him, frowning.
“I didn’t.”
Kendrick’s tone and gaze simply made Charlotte uncomfortable. Then, Kendrick took a step forward, staring unblinkingly at Charlotte’s chest.
“Your Highness, Abomination is not tolerated by the world, and it’s my responsibility. If Steve did something to you, maybe I can save you from disaster now that I‘m here.”
Charlotte stepped back, frowning as virtual-novel.net said, “Steve didn’t do anything to me. You’re overthinking.”
Charlotte‘s tone was not as respectful as before anymore. Even though virtual-novel.net was unsure how Caspian turned into an Abomination, Charlotte was sure virtual-novel.net was only unconscious for a short while, and Steve could not do anything to her. Moreover, listening to Steve’s tone before, it was not Steve who wanted to catch him, but the forces behind him. Steve’s mission was just to kidnap Charlotte, and there was no need for virtual-novel.net to be turned into an Abomination.
“I need to give it a check. Please be responsible for yourself.”
“I’m fine.”
“I need to check.”
“What are you trying to do?”
“Let me check.”
“Get away from me!”
As Kendrick got closer, Charlotte moved backward. After a while, virtual-novel.net back was pressed against the stone wall, and there was no place to run. At that time, even a fool could tell that Kendrick had malicious intent.
“You can hide from me! I’m only doing this, for your good!” Kendrick roared.
Charlotte’s mind buzzed as if a giant clock rang in virtual-novel.net ears, making virtual-novel.net dizzy, virtual-novel.net vision darkened, and virtual-novel.net legs weak Fortunately, there was a stone wall supporting her. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would have fallen.
Looking at Charlotte‘s frail appearance, Kendrick felt that the fire in his heart burned brighter. If virtual-novel.net did not release it, virtual-novel.net was afraid that virtual-novel.net would be burned to death.
“Your Highness, you were disobedient, and I’m going to punish you.” Kendrick licked his dry lips and pushed the Light Shattering Shadow Sword.
Splat!
Charlotte’s long dress was suddenly torn from the hem to the waistband, splitting in two and revealing virtual-novel.net long legs.
“Ahh!” Charlotte turned pale from the shock, and virtual-novel.net was startled and furious. Then, virtual-novel.net hurriedly covered virtual-novel.net legs with virtual-novel.net hands, glaring at Kendrick, saying, “Do you know what you’re doing now? My teacher is a Spiritual Master. He’ll not let you go if you hurt me now!” Charlotte knew virtual-novel.net could not fight against him. Hence, the only reliance was on virtual-novel.net identity as a Spiritual Master’s disciple.
“Spiritual Master?” Kendrick paused.
However, just when Charlotte thought Kendrick was intimated and slowly breathed out a sigh of relief, Kendrick suddenly pushed his longsword again.
Rip!
That time, Charlotte’s long sleeve on the left side was torn apart. Her snow-white arm, shoulder, and half of virtual-novel.net body were suddenly exposed. Charlotte was about to cry, and virtual-novel.net struggled to cover virtual-novel.net body with the limited fabric virtual-novel.net had. However, the more virtual-novel.net acted that way, the more exciting it was for Kendrick. He did not mind continuing to humiliate Charlotte as virtual-novel.net found that the more virtual-novel.net degraded the other party, the more embarrassed and scared the other party looked, the harder it was for virtual-novel.net to control his urge, and the more violent the flame burned in him.
“Your Highness, how could it be me who hurt you? It was Steve, the evil cultivator.”
”Nonsense! It’s you!”
“Your Highness, you’re mistaken.” Kendrick straightened his posture, returning to his previous serious appearance.
“After Steve turned Heavenly Stars Sect disciple Casper into an Abomination, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help the princess’ beauty, thus defiling the princess. Even though Casper became an Abomination, his mind was still somewhat clear, and virtual-novel.net fought with Steve to protect the princess. Consequently, Steve was seriously injured and eventually died with Casper. As for you, Your Highness, you also died as you were affected by the fight. When I arrived, I could not save the situation and could only feel regretful why I didn’t come earlier to prevent this tragedy.”
Kendrick’s tone was righteous and coupled with his honorable expression, his head seemed to glow with holy light. Yet, what virtual-novel.net said was so dirty and vicious. Then, Kendrick smiled, and virtual-novel.net looked at Charlotte, whose face got paler.
“Your Highness, are you satisfied with my answer just now?”
Charlotte’s body trembled with anger, and virtual-novel.net limbs were cold. The other party has already woven a big lie, placing all the blame on Steve and Casper. At that time, everyone would be dead, and Charlotte would also be silenced by him, leaving no witness behind! By then, Kendrick would easily take the credit, and no one would blame him!
What a good plan!
What a ruthless heart!
Seeing Charlotte sweaty and frightened, Kendrick did not forget to add fuel to the fire, and virtual-novel.net pointed to the treasures in the ditch not far away, smiling proudly.
“Those treasures will also be mine. Your Highness, don’t you think this is a day to remember for me?”
