Fourth Prince's Debauchery - Chapter 271

Chapter 271
Iris and I hid in a tree crown .

Below us, two students of the academy were looking around searching for our traces .

I was holding Iris tightly and my hand was covering her mouth .

Normally, Iris would have struggled in this situation, but with the two students below, she could only endure .

Her face and body, though, had turned completely red .

The students looked around for a few minutes . When they finally discovered there was nobody nearby, they shook their heads and departed .

Seeing that, Iris sighed in relief .

One second later, she struggled out of my embrace .

"H-How long are you planning to hold me like that!?"

I shrugged . "I can't help it . Your body feels nice . "

Iris's cheeks turned red . "Rogue . " She whispered before turning around to hide her shyness .

I chuckled and walked towards her . "Sorry, sorry . Anyway, it's better if we leave this place . "

Iris frowned . "Why are we hiding? Can't you defeat them like last time?"

I smiled wryly . "Girl, I'm strong, but in the current situation, I must save as much energy as possible . I don't know what kind of danger we will have to face later . "

Yeah, that's a lie . It was just an excuse to hold Iris's body .

But hey, she believed it .

"S-Sorry, you protected me and despite it, I…"

I smiled softly and held her hand . "What are you apologizing for? It's not the first time I protect you, is it?"

Iris blushed when she remembered the past, but after a few seconds, she moved her hand away .

"… Stop it, you know that I…"

I nodded with a bitter smile . "I know, you have a fiancée . "

Iris bit her lips and her expression clouded . "… Sorry . "

I smiled . This is enough for now .

In the current situation, I will have many chances later to make her mine completely .

And if everything works well, she will be an important part of my vengeance against Bryan .

"… I can't believe this is happening . " Iris muttered .

I nodded with a grave expression . "Neither I can . And things are worse than you think . The crown prince and Bryan are planning to kill many students just to accomplish their objectives . "

"That is so evil . How can they do such a thing?"

I looked at Iris for an instant before chuckling .

Iris frowned . "Why are you laughing?"

"Well, it's just that you are a bit too naive . "



"Naïve?"

I nodded . "Greed is the greatest sin of humanity, Iris . And ambition fuels many evils . The thing you are seeing now is just one of the many ugly things humans do for power . For you, killing so many students is something cruel, but for Alan, this is just something necessary for his goal . "

"But does he not fear the consequences?"

"Consequences?" I sneered . "Alan is the crown prince and has ties to one of the strongest families of the empire . Even in the unlikely case where he is discovered and has to carry the entire blame, he will only be exiled at most and his life will be guaranteed . What is there to fear then?"


Iris froze . Then, her face turned bitter .

"Why do people are so obsessed with power? They sacrifice everything, their lives, their friends, their family, their… happiness . " Iris paused for a moment in this part . "Just to get more power and authority . "

"That is just like the world is . " I glanced at Iris and shrugged . "Iris, if you don't want to be a sacrifice for the ambitions of others, you must stand over them . "

"Stand over them?"

"Yes . If you want to love anyone you want, if you want to kill anyone you want, if you want to get anything you want, you must stand over everybody . "

Iris shivered . For a moment, her mind was turned into a mess . Several dangerous thoughts circled her head .

But immediately, she shook her head with a bitter smile .

"… I don't have that kind of ability . "

"But I do . " I smiled .

"Huh?"



"The ability to stand on the top, to take you with me, so we can stand in the top together . I have that ability . "

"… Prince Claus . "

"Hey Iris, do you want to help me?"

"Huh?"

"Help me, Iris . To avenge my mother, to kill the ones that want to separate us, to stand in the top . Come, take my hand . "

Iris looked at my extended hand and her face showed an expression of struggle .

"But, my fiancée…"

"What about him?" I sneered . "If he wants to kill us, we just need to kill him first . You heard what he is planning, don't you want revenge?"

"Revenge…" The word rubbed Iris's lips .

For the briefest of the moments, Iris's hand approached mine .

But in the last second, her rationality won .

"… I don't know . "

I smiled . This is the Iris I know . Even if she loves me with all her heart, she is someone shackled tightly by the expectations of the people around her . For someone like her, escaping such shackles is not easy .

But now that I have put the seed in her mind, it's just a matter of time before it sprouts .

I smiled gently and stopped insisting . "Well, you can talk to me if you change of opinion . "



" . . . Mm . " Iris hummed softly and lowered her head .

The two of us then continued moving through the forest .

"Prince, what is your plan?"

"My plan, huh . For now, we need to search for more people . "

"But, how are we going to find them?"

I smiled . Iris does not know it, but I have been leading her towards our next companion .

In fact, with each step we take, we move a longer distance than it looks . It's a result of a technique I'm using to compress space and allow us to move faster .

And soon, the location of our next companion was close to us .

In fact, just at this moment–

*Boom!*

"An explosion!?" Iris opened her eyes in surprise .

"Let's go!" I said with a serious expression .

Inwardly, though, I was very calm .

After all, my maid is not so easy to defeat .
