“What else can we do then?”
Alice immediately panicked when virtual-novel.net failed to make the call. It was virtual-novel.net first time encountering a situation like this in virtual-novel.net life. It would be unrealistic for a helpless woman like virtual-novel.net not to be scared in such a situation.
Prince William was seized by panic as well. His face was covered in sweat and virtual-novel.net was scared out of his wits. “What should we do? Why is this happening? We’re in Yingland! How dare someone try to assassinate me?!”
Zayn shook his head after seeing how flustered they were.
It was considered normal for Alice to behave in this manner, yet William was just as flustered despite being a prince. He did not possess any ounce of the calm a prince should have.
He said in a deep voice, “Did you offend anyone?”
Prince William was so befuddled that virtual-novel.net did not have a clear enough mind to answer Zayn’s question sensibly. His face was drenched in sweat when virtual-novel.net said, “I don’t know, I don’t know…”
Alice could see how calm and composed Zayn was and it gave virtual-novel.net enough of a sense to slowly calm herself down. She said, “Are they trying to abduct us so they can extort money from the royal family?”
“It’s possible,” said Zayn while nodding.
“Who the heck would be so bold? After all, we’re in Yingland.” Alice could not figure out how someone would be brazen enough to do this.
“It’s fine. I’ll protect all of you.” Zayn patted Alice’s shoulder to give virtual-novel.net a sense of security.
Alice was stunned for a moment. It was apparent that virtual-novel.net did not expect that Zayn would say something like that under such circumstances. It made virtual-novel.net feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Moreover, virtual-novel.net felt ashamed of herself for losing virtual-novel.net patience with virtual-novel.net earlier.
However, logically, virtual-novel.net still could not believe that Zayn had the ability to protect them. After all, Zayn was all alone, and virtual-novel.net did not appear to be as powerful as those special agents either.
“Thank you for your kind intentions, Zayn.” Alice said, “I appreciate your kindness but these are all extremely ferocious, evil assassins and you won’t be able to protect us from them.”
Meanwhile, Prince William calmed down a little. He expressed his contempt after hearing Zayn’s remark. “Did I hear you right? Did you say that you’re capable of protecting us all by yourself, Rheasian? You’re quite boastful.”
Zayn could not be bothered to pay attention to him.
Zayn projected his consciousness within a range five kilometers all around him. He could sense that it was a rather large operation with almost the entire assassin lineup consisting of master fighters.
Moreover, those were professionally trained fighters so they could kill with one strike and capture Prince William and Alice!
Meanwhile, Prince William felt rage surging through his chest after noticing that Alice was holding Zayn’s hand. He felt very displeased and let out a grunt.
He reached over and grabbed Alice’s hand while virtual-novel.net comforted her, “Don’t be scared, Alice. Our royal bodyguards are highly skilled and will certainly be able to protect us!”
Alice pulled away virtual-novel.net hand in an unnatural manner after Prince William took it. She nodded and said, “Hmm, I hope so.”
Prince William was displeased by Alice’s act of struggling free from him. However, it was inappropriate for virtual-novel.net to comment further under such circumstances.
Alice trusted Prince William’s royal bodyguards more than Zayn. They were the most formidable special agents in Yingland, so virtual-novel.net believed they would certainly be able to keep them safe.
