Chapter 120: Heirs of the Supreme Households
"I don't dare lecture yo-"
The princess raised her hand. "It's fine. I will prove it to you soon. You may not believe me now, but you will eventually feel my sincerity. You may leave. I'll be fine on my own."
Fredrinn was at loss for words. He didn't know if she was actually serious. "Just let me know if you need anything. Well, at least not about this matter…"
He didn't linger for long. He was afraid that the princess would force him to marry her on the spot. That would be disastrous.
He never would have thought that the princess would be interested in marrying him. Life was truly unpredictable.
In the next few days, more and more guests arrived at the estate. The banquet hosted by the Firecrown Supreme Household would be held in three days. Fredrinn and the others were busy entertaining their guests. They didn't even have much time to rest. If they weren't martial practitioners, they would have already collapsed from exhaustion.
At least once every day, the princess used all sorts of ways to pester Fredrinn. She never forgot to bring up marriage every time they had the chance to talk. About this matter, he could only smile helplessly.
Fredrinn also encountered the members of the five supreme households. For this banquet, they mostly sent the younger generation. They only brought one or two elders to escort their heirs.
The Silversword Supreme Household sent Aubrey Silversword and her oldest brother, Franklin Silversword.
Franklin Silversword was a master-rank array formation maker and his cultivation was already at the 2nd Layer of the Nascent Soul realm! Among the heirs of the five supreme households, he had the second highest cultivation.
The Evergreen Household sent their second heir, Evan Evergreen, and two Nascent Soul elders.
The Evergreen Supreme Household was a family of Ephyreans, a race of humanoid fairies that mostly inhabited the forest. They have wings on their backs and the number of their wings was a strong factor that determined their status in the family. For instance, Evan Evergreen, the second heir of the household had six golden wings which was a rarity among Ephyreans.
Evan's cultivation was also at the 2nd Layer of the Nascent Soul realm!
Next was the Goldenlion Supreme Household. They are a rare species of Beastkins. They looked like humans, but they also had the features of lions. Because of their bloodline, the members of their family had strong muscular physiques.
For this banquet, they sent their first heir, Kustas Goldenlion, and a 10th Layer Nascent Soul elder.
Kustas Goldenlion was the pride of the Goldenlion Supreme Household. He was also the strongest among the heirs present in the Firecrown Household estate with a cultivation at the 3rd Layer of the Nascent Soul realm!
Meanwhile, the Saphhira Supreme Household was a family of elves. They are known for their high wind and wood affinity. The people they sent were their first heiress, Yvanna Sapphira, and two powerful female elders at the Nascent Soul realm.
Yvanna's cultivation was only at the 1st Layer of the Nascent Soul realm. She also had the lowest cultivation among the heirs of the supreme households.
Lastly, there was the Astraljade Supreme Household. They were a family of a rare race called Astrals. They were proficient in illusion techniques. They were also known for their incredibly beautiful facial features. The people they sent were their first heiress, Akari Astraljade, and one female elder at the 9th Layer of the Nascent Soul realm.
At this moment, Fredrinn was in the company of these people. His magnet, Princess Danielle was also there.
It was the third time they had gathered like this since they arrived at the estate. They were already quite familiar with each other after interacting for some time.
"Fredrinn, why don't we go for a light spar? We have been chatting about the same thing and I'm starting to get sick of it. We should liven up things for a change." Kustas Goldenlion suggested while sending Fredrinn a taunting smile.
Hearing this, the others revealed a look of interest.
Fredrinn raised his eyebrow in surprise. "You want to spar with me?" He looked at the massive guy in front of him. Fredrinn was already tall for a human, but compared to Kustas, he was like a child.
"Don't tell me you're scared?" Kustas smirked, his eyes flashed with fighting intent.
Everyone turned their gazes to Fredrinn, excited to hear his response.
"Things are finally getting interesting." Evan laughed as he smoothed his apple-green hair.
Fredrinn shook his head. Although he was only a 9th Layer Core Formation martial practitioner, he was confident that he could beat Kustas. He might be weaker than Kustas in terms of Qi, but he had one major advantage- he was overgeared.
"Are you sure?" Fredrinn's face suddenly turned serious. His obsidian-like eyes stared deeply at Kustas.
The guests from other households also noticed the sudden change in the atmosphere.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know."
"I think I heard them talking about a spar."
"Eh? A spar between the heirs of the supreme households?"
Everyone observed them with curious gazes. They were eager to see the power of the famous heirs!
"It seems like everyone wants to see it happen." Kustas stood up while laughing boisterously.
Fredrinn didn't want to spar with him, but if he rejected his challenge, people might say that he was afraid. This might hurt the Firecrown Supreme Household's reputation. He couldn't allow that to happen!
"Alright, but we should control our Qi. I don't want to damage the estate." Fredrinn took out the Flame Dragon Crescent Blade. The moment he revealed this weapon, his aura abruptly changed.
He became intimidating, like a predator looking at its prey!
Kustas felt a wave of unease when he met Fredrinn's gaze, but he immediately concealed his emotions when realized this.
"Don't disappoint me, Fredrinn." He grinned as he took out a huge two-handed war hammer.
