Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 340

Ryuu was dumbstruck at what he saw, the sight made him as so speechless that Zywia had to elbow him on his ribs to bring him out of his funk as she spoke with a worried tone, “Is something wrong Ryuu?”

Ryuu could already hear the cacophony of voices as others were praising the person in front of him some even nodded their head as they spoke about how even the hero was ensnared by his beauty.

Ryuu looked at Zywia directly into her eyes, his soulless stare unnerved her as he spoke, “That person over there who looks like a ‘Blob fish’ on two legs is the princess of the Empire who according to the citizens is the most beautiful woman of their species their princess and according to them you are the ugliest person they had ever seen.”

Zywia felt as if her entire world disappear as her pupils shrunk and from the looks of it she was about to collapse then her eyes were filled with fury as she was about to unleash a monstrous tantrum Ryuu quickly held her head as he shook her head negatively, “Remember we have to move to the next area and they might be our only way so please bear with them.”

Hiro was promptly joined by the Blob fish on legs as she, it or whatever the being was Ryuu was unable to decide as he watched the emotional reunion between the siblings, whether he should be gross out or be touched at the scene.

Zywia by then had started murmuring every short of obscenities in existence and Ryuu was grateful to the fact that the mermen or whatever those creatures were unable to understand even a small word of what she was saying otherwise a full blown battle would have erupted by now.

Hiro then turned towards Ryuu as he spoke to his sister, “Sister let me introduce you to the brave warrior who saved my life.”

Ryuu flashed the duo a small smile as he spoke with a slight tilt of his head, “It is an honor to meet your highness, my name is Ryuu and the person standing by my side is my companion Zywia.”

June the ‘beautiful’ princess returned his smile with one of her own, which caused the citizens of the Empire to swoon over while Ryuu and his companion simple wanted to turn and leave it was taking all their emotional control to not throw up at that, as she spoke, “You look a bit different than us and your companion is also different than you.”

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, “Your Highness my species is known as ‘human’ and my companion is female of my species.

Zywia gave a small smile as she spoke while gritting her teeth with disgust, “If I have to stay much longer here I might start slaughtering this blind ignorant idiotic…”

As she started slipping into another tirade of hers Ryuu quickly spoke to the royal siblings who were trying hard to understand what Zywia was speaking, “My dear friend greets your majesty unfortunately she is not aware of the noble tongue of the land as such she is not properly able to communicate with your grace.”

Hiro nodded at that as he looked at Zywia with pitying glance for a few moments which irked Zywia even more before he spoke to Ryuu, “Well it has been a long day so let me escort you all to your place of stay, please follow me.”

Ryuu nodded as he pulled Zywia along with him as he whispered harshly to her, “Sister Zywia please control your temperature.”

Zywia hissed back at him with righteous anger, “Shut up if you were compared to that blob of flesh and called ugly compared to that thing you would react like that as well not to mention I might not understand but I can clearly see the look of disgust as they are pointing towards me and speaking.”

Ryuu looked at her with one of his brow raised as he spoke, “Like they are not doing the same for me, my only saving grace is that I saved the prince’s life otherwise both of us are like some exotic animal on display, but I am not vain enough to get irked by their words do you not why?”

Zywia shook her head negatively as she cast a curious look at him as Ryuu looked at the front as he spoke, “It is very simply sister because at the end of the day their opinion does not matter to me as it is simply so beneath me that I do not even have time to notice it.”, Zywia looked at Ryuu taken aback at his sheer arrogance as he continued, “The only person whose opinion I have ever cared is my family, my teachers and my older sisters.”

Zywia looked at him with a new light as she followed behind Ryuu as they approached to what appeared to be the largest and most decorated structure which Ryuu assumed to be a palace.

As they made their way to the palace Ryuu and Zywia made sure to memorize the pathway as well as, as much of the surroundings they could, when they had reached near the palace a person stopped their approach as he spoke with a snide remark, “My my look the prodigal son makes his return.”, as he spoke a group of men and fish on two legs stood behind him.

Hiro gritted his teeth as he spoke, “Uncle Dewy, it is nice to see you.”

The person called Dewy snorted as he spoke, “Cut the niceties, you have dragged the Royal family’s reputation through the muck, you are so weak that you had the need of an unknown foreigner to save yourself, such a disgrace.”, with that he turned around and started to swim away without hearing Hiro’s reply as others around him sneered at Hiro and followed after Dewy.

Hiro growled as June held his hand as he spoke, “If father did not care about family and his death could cause huge problems I would have put his head on a spike.”

“Calm down brother, I believe we are late for our meeting with Royal mother and father.”, with that June started dragging Hiro who was still glaring behind Dewy’s back.

Hiro then turned towards Ryuu as he spoke with an apologetic smile on his face, “Sorry about my ‘honorable uncle’, he did not take that I survive so kindly, brother Ryuu let me warn you about him, stay away from him or he might cause you great deal of problem, that man is dangerous as well as treacherous.”

Ryuu nodded at him as he spoke with frown on his face, “I will remember to brother, but from what I deduced is he, His Majesty’s brother.”

Hiro nodded at that as he spat out in anger, “Unfortunately.”

June looked at his brother as she spoke in a scolding tone, “Brother, please.”

Hiro looked affronted at that as he spoke, “What you know it is true, he is bitter and jealous man because grandfather passed him over to hand his younger brother our father the throne, because he is incompetent and now he has the gall to judge me while his heirs are good for nothing wastrels.”

June looked agitated at that as she spoke, “Brother please there are people who are listening about…”

Hiro raised his hand to stop her from speaking as he spoke, “Sister I will repeat myself again, as long as I live those pathetic bloodsucking ghouls were, are or will be ever considered as family no matter what others say.”
