Chapter 3975
General Grunt panicked and started to stutter as he trembled on his knees. "Those were fake rumors. The
Princess is already arranged to marry Darryl and their wedding is just around the corner. How could I covet a
woman who belongs to another man?"
Master Magaera pondered and said, "In that case, why don't you tell me why the Princess cares so much about
your safety?"
The Princess committed a taboo by bringing a pure Yang body to Archfiend Antigonus for his rebirth in order to
save General Grunt. Anyone else would be suspicious of that act.
General Grunt wiped off the sweat on his forehead and said softly, " Maybe... Maybe it was because the Princess
saw that I've been loyal to His Majesty for so many years and did not have the heart to see me in trouble, and
therefore came to my rescue."
At that point in time, he was extremely anguished. He was not able to admit his love for his beloved goddess, but
he also needed to cover up his story with lies. That was indeed frustrating. However, he had no choice as Master
Magaera could kill him at any time.

relieved that nothing is going on between you and the Princess. You should know, the Princess is of nobility and
her purity is essential to maintain her reputation. You should know your limits even if you admire the Princess.
Never be emotional in your decisions and ruin your future."
"Yes. Yes..." General Grunt did not dare to retort and kept nodding.
Immediately, Master Magaera glanced at the surroundings. "The Princess' whereabouts
are unknown. As the special envoy from the Godly Region sent to the Nine Mainland, you
shouldn't slack even the slightest. You must assist me in searching for the Princess and
report to me immediately should you have any news about it. You hear me?"
"Yes!" General Grunt nodded.
At that moment, his heart was racing. That was because Princess Dorothy was at the
tavern nearby and if Master Magaera activated his fairy soul to sense his surroundings, his
secret will be exposed. However, he was rather lucky that day. Master Magaera did not
check the town carefully and soon left with the Great Weapon after saying a few words.
Upon their departure, the force oppressing the town disappeared quickly and the people
who were frozen had been free to move around.
"What happened just now?"
"I don't know..."
"I feel dizzy... How strange!"
Many had discussed among themselves and they were not sure what had happened.
General Grunt stared into space and walked towards the tavern as if he could not hear the
murmuring around him. He was merely a few hundred meters away from the tavern but he
felt like he had walked for ages.
'What should I do?' General Grunt had not realized how he managed to get to the room at
the tavern. He was still in a daze as he stood outside Princess Dorothy's door.
'Should I continue the plan to go around the world and live in seclusion with Princess? Or...
should I send her back to the Godly Region?' He lingered at the door for a long time and
finally came to a decision.

He realized it was only wishful thinking to live in seclusion with the Princess. After all, Princess Dorothy was of a
noble family and the Nine Heaven Emperor would certainly find her no matter where they hid. Moreover, his
future would be ruined and he would be sentenced to death by the Nine Heaven Emperor. More importantly,
Princess Dorothy's purity had been violated by Darryl. That was something he could not see past.
In the room, Princess Dorothy had woken up after a few hours of sleep.
As she opened her eyes, she was startled to find herself alone in the room and General Grunt nowhere to be
found.
"General Grunt?" Princess Dorothy cried out.
Immediately, the door was pushed open and General Grunt entered the room. He had been waiting outside the
room. General Grunt put on a smile as he walked in. "Princess! You're awake? Does your head hurt after so many
drinks last night?"
General Grunt looked concerned but his eyes were filled with confusion.
Princess Dorothy shook her head. "I'm fine. The wine in the Nine Mainland is nothing compared to Jade Brew from
the Godly Region. I can even drink more than ten bottles, oh, right. From now on, you're not allowed to call me
Princess. It sounds too awkward. We'll be a couple soon and you can just call me Dorothy." At that point in time,
she still was not aware that he had a change of heart.
