Chapter 4187 - 4206: This Is Just Too Miserable

Cooking, playing cards with Talina, drinking wine with the other Xilin Clan members...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it’s been half a year.

The flying ship arrived at Xiyue Star, slowly entering the atmosphere.

Looking down from the starry sky, it’s a blue planet, with at least eighty percent of its area covered by oceans.

The flying ship descended, and the cabin door opened.

"Go, let’s go home."

Talina stood up from the sofa, her expression subtly changed as she glanced out the window, then turned back and said, "Lin Chen, follow me."

"Yes!"

Talina walked to the entrance of the cabin, where two guards stepped forward, following behind her.

They stepped out of the flying ship, and just as they landed, Talina’s expression changed.

"Augustus! What are you doing here?"

A tall and strong young man stepped out of a flying craft, spreading his arms and smiling, "My dear sister, aren’t you happy to see Brother?"

Talina gritted her teeth, "Without the king’s orders, you cannot selfishly enter the Royal Court. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Lin Chen and Qiu Chan followed from behind, looking at the handsome yet arrogant young man, exchanging glances of surprise.

Augustus, wasn’t he Talina’s royal brother, and one of the last three contenders?

Has he taken over the Royal Court?

Talina left with everything just fine, but it’s all changed upon her return?

Talina is really unlucky.

She bought so many things, made so many preparations, but ended up not having any opportunity to use them?

Augustus sneered, "Talina, you know the current situation, our Qingchuan needs a new king, and I am the most suitable candidate!"

Talina snorted coldly, "Ethan and Sean probably don’t think so."

Augustus laughed heartily, "I know you have a good relationship with Sean, do you hope he wins?"

Talina’s face tightened, "Where’s Father?"

Augustus spread his hands, "He is, of course, lying in bed, why, do you think your fourth brother is so heartless, could I really kill Father?"

Talina breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze swept over the powerhouse surrounding them, "What do you want to do?"

Augustus chuckled, "The Royal Court now belongs to me, and the title of Sea King of Qingchuan shall also be mine. As for you, my sister, I have arranged a marriage for you, a quite decent match."

Talina’s face changed color, "I will not marry."

Augustus’ smile faded as he said coldly, "Previously you had Father doting on you, so you could refuse, but now Father can’t even take care of himself, who else will protect you?"

"Rest assured, I chose your husband, he is a trusted general under me with a limitless future, he’s liked you for a long time, marrying him will surely bring you happiness."

"It wasn’t easy for your fourth brother to reach this point, shouldn’t you help me, or at least reduce my troubles?"

Augustus’ voice grew colder, "Father may have indulged your whims, but I won’t! You’d better behave, or don’t blame me for not showing any sibling kindness!"

Talina clenched her fist, gritting her teeth as her face turned pale.

She hadn’t expected that by returning late, the Royal Court would already be under Augustus’ control.

Augustus wouldn’t dare do this unless he had already gained significant control, not fearing Ethan and Sean joining forces, or he wouldn’t occupy the Royal Court.

Augustus’ gaze fell on the two guards behind Talina, "You two, I’ll give you a chance to live, either follow me from this moment on, or die here today."

The two guards exchanged glances, their eyes revealing an inner struggle.

Talina took a deep breath and turned her head, "You guys can go with him, he won’t hesitate, and I can’t run away anyway, don’t throw your lives away in vain."

"I don’t blame you."

The two guards’ faces were full of shame, but Talina’s words ultimately gave them a way out; who actually wants to die when they can live?

Especially as Talina said, even if they resisted with all their might, they couldn’t contend with Augustus, let alone the multitude of experts surrounding.

The two guards bowed to Talina, walked towards Augustus, and kneeled on one knee to pledge allegiance.

Augustus chuckled dismissively, casually waving his hand.

He didn’t care about the two guards’ choice because if they disagreed, he could easily kill them.

He merely wanted to strip everything from Talina bit by bit in front of her, leaving her with nothing, and ultimately making her submit to him.

Augustus’ eyes moved past Talina, landing on Lin Chen and Qiu Chan.

"Bought two Human slaves?"

Augustus smiled, "Why, are these two particularly skilled?"

Lin Chen took the initiative to speak, "I’m a chef, this is my wife, we’re responsible for our master’s daily meals."

"A chef?"

Augustus laughed heartily, "You really are still that eternally gluttonous, never-growing Talina!"

"Alright, don’t say I don’t value sibling ties, I’ll keep the chef for you, I’m being so generous, you better behave, don’t entertain impractical ideas, and definitely don’t think about running away."

Augustus waved his hand, a female officer stepped forward, confiscating all communication devices from Talina, Erin, and the two of them.

"Alright, Talina, return and stay comfortably, eat and drink well. Once I’m ready, you’ll get married, rest assured, as a princess, it won’t be a shabby event."

Augustus’ voice was cold, containing undisguised threats, "If you behave, I can let King of Axe stay in the Royal Court, under my care, but if you don’t, I can’t say what might happen."

Talina yelled angrily, "He’s your father too!"

Augustus nodded, "Yes, which is why he’s still alive, otherwise, at this moment, there wouldn’t be a single living soul in this Royal Court!"

"Take my royal sister back, take good care of her."

The female officer stepped forward, made a gesture of invitation, yet her attitude was condescendingly mocking.

Talina clenched her fists, with a cold expression, following the female officer forward.

Lin Chen and Qiu Chan exchanged looks, quickly following her.

Leaving the spacious flying ship dock, Lin Chen looked back, seeing a squadron of soldiers enter the flying ship.

Lin Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, Talina bought so many things, only for them all to become Augustus’ spoils of war as soon as they landed.

Talina, the princess, hadn’t even returned home before becoming a captive, with an engagement arranged for her.

Marrying Augustus’ trusted general?

This is truly tragic.

I originally thought by coming along, I could smoothly become a chef, learn about this planet, the Magita Empire, and how to cultivate and advance.

Now it seems like everything has to be overturned and started anew.

Ultimately, one can only rely on oneself!
