Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 782: Chapter 512: The Lord, Princess, and the Great Catastrophe_1

“Dear Her Highness the Fifth Princess, have you made up your mind?”

Hearing this, Leo Ray slightly nodded and gently smiled.

“Just as you said, I don’t want to see Coldflame falling into the dual vortex of power struggles and foreign enemies. This feeling of helplessness, of waiting for death, is really unbearable and tormenting.”

Ariel Watson nodded towards Leo Ray, her eyes still resolute, and loudly said, “As a member of the Coldflame Royal Family, I wish to use my humble strength to restore this land I love so deeply to its former glory, and with my own hands, create a future that everyone desires!”

“Your spirit is admirable. It seems our dear Fifth Princess is already showing hints of a future queen.”

Watching the determined expression on Ariel Watson’s fair cheeks, Leo Ray nodded slightly.

“Although I don’t know if I am capable of being a princess… no, the responsibility of being a queen, my desire to truly protect Coldflame is second to none!”

With that, Ariel Watson leaned forward and took a step forward, “Even if this is a path filled with thorns and challenges, I am willing to forge ahead with courage and determination!”

“However, I am also aware of my own limitations.”

As she said this, a trace of helplessness appeared on Ariel Watson’s delicate face.

She shook her head and continued, “With my current strength, if I were to step on the real battlefield, I would probably vanish in an instant. My royal brothers would certainly not show mercy.”

Upon recalling the multiple assassination attempts she experienced in the Royal Capital, Ariel Watson’s expression became complex. Her slender hands clenched and unclenched several times before ultimately turning into a white-knuckled fist.

Then, Ariel Watson raised her head again and looked up at Leo Ray on the throne, “As an Otherworlder, are you truly willing to help me?”

At this moment, Ariel Watson clearly understood.

The young man in front of her, surrounded by powerful forces, possessing a plethora of Tier 5 Divine Weapons, and with unfathomable true power, was undoubtedly her only hope in taking this step.

Moreover, in Dragon’s Lair, the ancestral sleeping ground, the fact that this man from the Otherworld was summoned by their Ancestral Hero King had remained in her memory.

Just being summoned by the legendary king who single-handedly built Coldflame was enough to prove his extraordinary nature.

“Of course.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray stood up from the throne and smiled faintly, “Supporting a princess in becoming a queen of a country must be an interesting affair.”

“But… why are you willing to help me like this?”

On the other side, Ariel Watson took another step forward, her eyes flashing cautiously, “Or rather, what is the purpose behind your actions?”

“Dear Her Highness the Fifth Princess, you asked me this question back at the Mountain Fortress. The reason remains the same.”

As he walked down from the platform where the throne was, Leo Ray spoke bluntly, “Because I am not only helping you, but also helping myself.”

With that, he shook his head with a bitter smile, “If I were to put it another way, I, who appear as a visitor from the Otherworld to you, am simply struggling for my own survival.”

“Struggling for survival?”

After hearing Leo Ray’s words, a look of disbelief appeared on Ariel Watson’s delicate face.

“This guy… isn’t he just boasting? With the tremendous energy he has displayed, I’m afraid there are no other forces in Coldflame that could rival the Coldflame Royal Family. Does he still need to struggle for survival? It’s like he has already reached the peak of life.”

With a face full of disbelief, Ariel Watson’s confusion only grew more apparent.

Then, as if recalling something, she asked doubtfully, “I remember you once mentioned that what this world is about to face far exceeds my imagination. Is it because of this matter?”

“Indeed, that’s the case.”

Leo Ray, who had now reached Ariel Watson, nodded and said without hesitation, “Moreover, as far as I know, this unknown matter is just the prelude to a series of unknown events that will follow.”

Unquestionably, what Leo Ray was referring to was none other than the Great Calamity.

Since Ariel Watson had made up her mind, it was time to reveal everything.

“What is this matter? Can you tell me now?”

On the other side, Ariel Watson’s confusion grew increasingly apparent, and she quickly inquired.

“Dear Her Highness the Fifth Princess, have you heard of the Great Calamity?”

Gently waving his hand to signal Ariel Watson to calm down, Leo Ray smiled faintly.

“The Great Calamity?”

Furrowing her brows, Ariel Watson pondered for a moment, and said thoughtfully, “I remember when my father’s health was still good, he seemed to have discussed this matter with Uncle Wilson. However, back then, my focus was on my birthday banquet…”

At this point, Ariel Watson shook her head with some embarrassment, and continued, “As for the specifics, I am not clear.”

“According to the prophecy, this is a terrifying catastrophe that will sweep across the entire world, but the exact timing and content are still unclear.”
