Chapter 409: Chapter 285: A Holy War Can Happen in Every Corner of the Guild! Viscous Holy Light

"The new Sunset City Lord has decided to side with Prince Laps. What do the Knight Clans of Sunset City think about that?"

Su Xuan asked Roxia for more details.

"Most of the Knight Clans have chosen to follow him. After all, Prince Laps is one of the recognized successors to the throne. With a large-scale war likely to break out soon in the Star Kingdom, most clans are leaning toward siding with the more powerful faction to ensure their own safety and interests."

"However, compared to Prince Laps, most of the Knight Clans still believe Prince Tyres and Princess Catherine are in a better position to win..."

Roxia explained the current situation in Sunset City to Su Xuan, piece by piece.

"Alright, I think I understand the general situation."

Su Xuan nodded, having now gotten a general understanding of the circumstances in Sunset City.

"Right now, the Yerman Clan is also discussing what choice to make, and I..."

Roxia’s gaze hardened slightly, her voice tinged with exhaustion.

The pressure from her clan and the outside world was undoubtedly a heavy burden for a young woman who had just come of age.

"Just like we discussed before, Sunset City is far from the heart of the conflict. You don’t need to make a choice so early."

Su Xuan explained to Roxia, "As for what that Sunset City Lord wants to do, you can just refuse him."

"Mm, I understand!"

Hearing this, Roxia nodded, her tense nerves seeming to relax a little.

Afterward, the two started talking about Princess Vivian.

"I can’t believe something like that happened in the Royal City..."

Roxia was very surprised as she listened to Su Xuan’s account.

Although the events in the Royal City were the talk of the Star Kingdom, many details were missing. Su Xuan was now filling them in for her.

"So... is Princess Vivian being held in the dungeons now?"

Roxia asked, looking at Su Xuan.

"More or less."

Su Xuan nodded, his voice grave.

As for how Edith truly intended to deal with Vivian, he didn’t know yet either.

"Thank you for your advice. It’s getting late, so we should be heading back."

Roxia said, rising to leave, but Natasha gently tugged her arm.

"Roxia, if you go back now, I’m afraid you’ll just face more pressure from the clan elders. You haven’t had a proper rest in two or three days. Your body will give out at this rate." Natasha looked at Roxia with deep concern, her gaze unconsciously shifting toward Su Xuan and Rosaline.

Although she didn’t voice her thoughts, her brown eyes seemed to speak for her, silently sending a plea for help to Su Xuan, hoping he would do something for Roxia.

"Then stay and rest for the night. You can have my room," Rosaline suggested to Roxia and Natasha, her expression unreadable.

She didn’t require sleep; for her, the room was merely a place for meditation.

"That would be wonderful!" A grateful smile spread across Natasha’s face. She pressed her hands together and said softly, "Then we’ll trouble you for the night."

"But we shouldn’t..." Roxia began to protest, but Natasha gently grabbed her wrist.

"Roxia, listen to your aunt, alright?" Natasha gestured with her eyes, hoping Roxia would understand and accept the arrangement.

"..." Roxia hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan naturally didn’t mind. Besides, Roxia had stayed at the Guild overnight before.

He replied, "You should stay. Viora can help you calm your mind, clear away your worries, and get a good night’s sleep."

"Then... we’ll be imposing..." Roxia replied, her voice tinged with a hint of shyness and anticipation.

「By evening」, Ivsha and the others had left the Guild one after another.

Su Xuan prepared a lavish dinner to welcome Roxia and Natasha. After all, it was rare for the Guild to have two "normal people" as guests.

However, only Su Xuan, Roxia, and Natasha were at the dinner table.

The other members still at the Guild were almost all non-human.

For example, Mare Rhine’s diet consisted only of Beast Milk, Viora was a vegetarian, and Kanlutia was an even greater aberration—she only craved Su Xuan’s blood.

As for Rosaline and Alice, they didn’t need to eat at all.

Therefore, for Su Xuan, tonight was a rare opportunity to enjoy a pleasant dinner at the Guild.

"By the way, Mr. Su Xuan," Natasha said, placing some food on Su Xuan’s plate as she asked curiously, "who is this little one?"

"This is Xue’er, a new member of our Guild."

Su Xuan explained to Natasha and Roxia.

Although Xue’er was a being formed from snow and ice, she had a particular fondness for all kinds of delicious food.

Whether it was meat or vegetables, she ate everything offered to her, which had come as a great surprise even to Su Xuan.

Hearing this, Roxia also looked at Xue’er with curiosity.

Xue’er was savoring the dishes on the table with great relish, constantly stuffing food into her tiny, delicate mouth as if she could never get enough.

"Her name is Xue’er?"

"What an adorable little thing."

Natasha said with a smile, her eyes filled with affection for Xue’er.

She seemed to have a special fondness for cute little creatures like Xue’er. She gently touched Xue’er’s dolphin tail with her fingertips and even tried to talk to her.

"Hey, cutie, can you understand what I’m saying?"

"Want to eat this? I’ll get it for you."

"You can talk, too? What a clever little thing~"

"..."

This scene took Su Xuan by surprise; he hadn’t expected Natasha to take such a liking to Xue’er. But on second thought, it seemed only natural for girls to be fond of cute things.
