Chapter 5: After all, I Should Choose My Aunt

"Something's not right...!"

Staring at the youth who was showing a serious expression while being in some sort of pre-battle state, Lelia furrowed her brows in confusion.

"Something is off...!"

Already sensing a discord, her gaze never moved away.

"What exactly is it...?"

"What's wrong with sister Lelia?"

Probably hearing Lelia's muttered words, the little loli diverted her curious attention over, but Lelia simply ignored her—

"Ah, yes, I finally remembered..."

Lelia, who suddenly raised her head, gave the little loli a big scare.

"The style—the style is wrong!"

Lelia landed a punch on her palm as if she had suddenly realized something.

"Style?"

"Exactly, it's incredible, this guy actually has a serious style...!"

"Eh? Has Big Brother never been serious before?"

Glancing at Ye Yu, who had a fierce look in his eyes, ready to have a big fight, Alice was surprised. It didn't matter who it was, when encountering some difficult to solve problems, they would inevitably become serious at least most of the time.

And right now, Big Brother looks super cool!

"That guy's never been serious, he's just a silly joker."

"...sister Lelia, I don't think it's good to talk about your husband that way..."

..................................................................................................................................................................

On the stage, two people getting into position.

"I'm going to attack."

"I'm ready to take your challenge."

"I'm really going to hit you, and I won't hold back."

"Same here, absolutely no mercy."

"I really am going to hit you now. Really going to."

"..."

If it weren't for Ye Yu's sudden change in temperament, now displaying a kind of warrior's demeanor, Bella might think he was just teasing.

Looking at the youth filled with an inexplicable aura, Bella took a deep breath.

"Anytime, as long as you can touch me, then you win."

These words sound arrogant, but this is Bella's confidence in herself, as she is the headmaster of The Brilliance Knight Academy. To reach such a position at a young age, one would need not only knowledge but also absolute martial power.

She never underestimates her opponent foolishly. Even for this brother-in-law who gave her a bad impression, she evaluated him at the level of the elite students of the academy.

If he could reach such a level at such a young age, it was no shame for him to be her brother-in-law, and she hoped she wouldn't be too disappointed.

There have only been seven elites in the academy so far.

All of them are students who have endured rigorous training and towered above the other three hundred thousand students, the future backbone of the nations, the cream of the crop, chosen as the country's The Brilliance Grand Knights.

If anyone else saw this, defining someone who has never shown any achievements in front of others at this high level in one go, wouldn't they also look down on the academy elites?

Bella might have thought that her nerves were too sensitive, the hurricane just now made her nerves tighten, and it might just be an illusion.

Although it might be possible that her brother-in-law didn't have the strength, he certainly had the potential.

What followed, however, made Bella realized that she was deeply mistaken, ridiculously mistaken—

Clang!

A blade of light stirred up endless tumult, and a silver moon attacked.

"When did this happen?!!!"

Bella had no clue as to when Ye Yu ended up beneath her feet, then launched a brutal upward slash.

She just instinctively blocked it with her sword.

Then came the melodious sound of metal collision, along with the clear and crisp sound of weapon cracking.

With her mouth wide open and her eyes staring out, Bella watched as splinters of a dazzling blade danced in front of her eyes...

The one that shattered was the one in Ye Yu's hand—

"... Did he stop?"

Suddenly feeling the approach of death, even though her weapon had shattered and all she was holding was the hilt of a sword, Bella still felt a surging chill rise from within.

She couldn't keep up with the rhythm of her rapidly beating heart. At the same time that Ye Yu stopped his onslaught, Bella's The Brilliance reflexively activated, causing a brilliant storm to erupt around her.Please translate the following text from Chinese to English:

"Oh oh oh oh oh——"

Shrieking strangely, Ye Yu was sent flying by a twist.

All the people gaped, unable to believe this unscientific scene they just saw.

"Big brother... amazing!"

Alice, clutching her teddy bear, stared wide-eyed.

What surprised them was not Bella's sudden eruption of The Brilliance, but the fact that Ye Yu could appear at Bella's side at lightning speed before anyone could react, and strike with such a powerful attack.

His opponent was after all the third princess, the current head of The Brilliance Knight Academy and extremely skilled.

"Although it’s because Bella didn't use The Brilliance, this guy is not completely useless, hahahaha."

The king laughed heartily after his surprise, thereby his inner speculation and a friend’s prophecy became closer. Perhaps, just perhaps, this was the person they had predicted.

And this would stir up the peaceful world.

"Sister Lelia, big brother is amazing..."

Alice gazed with huge eyes, telling Lelia who was momentarily stunned before quickly pretending calmness.

"Yes, he did well, but this is only for a common man. If Bella uses her real strength, he won't stand a chance."

Unwilling to acknowledge his power, Lelia thought of Ye Yu, who she would quarrel with routinely and she felt disgruntled.

"Big brother is actually really strong, as he was just a civilian before."

Alice said, sucking on her fingers and tilting her head.

"Yes, he's strong, alright…" reluctantly admitted Lelia.

"But why did his sword suddenly break?"

Perhaps only Ye Yu had the answer. Now, he was caught in a sudden tornado, like a staggering man after drinking, initiating the ‘dance on the square’.

Rub rub, the devil's steps.

"I must apologize."

Despite Bella’s cold face, Ye Yu heard sincerity in her voice.

Why should she apologize?

"I've underestimated you. Even though I considered you among the elite of the academy, it seems that I still harbored contempt. I still need to mature."

"Hahahaha, no, don't worry about it…!"

Scratching his head, Ye Yu appeared uneasy.

"So, I've decided to take this duel seriously."

Hell no?!

However, it was too late. The fair-haired girl was suddenly enveloped in a rising airflow, radiating a force that was so sudden, and so powerful that Ye Yu felt suffocated. "Is this… The Brilliance?" He had only heard talk of its power and had longed to witness it firsthand. Overwhelming, breathtaking, it was as if a god was passing judgment.

Unstoppable, Bella raised her sword towards Ye Yu——

"Bella·Pandragon, the third princess of the non-Aulic kingdom, now, I’m all out.”

"I'm in trouble, I just wanted to verify my creation, I never thought it would end up like this."

Hearing the girl’s solemn declaration, Ye Yu broke out in cold sweat.

“Oh my God, this is terrifying.”

The only way to put a stop to this one-sided duel was——

While sweating, the youth had to come up with a way. He didn't want to die, didn't want to be tortured.

Looking around, considering the objects he could use, every available opportunity.

And then——

"Ah, Bella, I can see your underwear."

He seized the crucial moment!

"What?!"

Her face turned scarlet in an instant. Rarely seen in the third princess, the whirlwind caused by The Brilliance made the hem of her skirt flutter, plus the angle——

The Third Princess had no choice but to reduce the output frequency of The Brilliance, using her other hand that did not hold the sword to hold onto her skirt hem.

Frankly speaking, she looked exceedingly adorable.

The drop in The Brilliance also greatly reduced the burden on Yeyu, he was not panting as much as earlier.

Next up, was the final step—

To land the final blow on this shy girl.

"Bella·Pendragon!"

"What?!"

The young man with a strong sense of justice, striding forth with his head held high, was awe-inspiring, Bella subconsciously retreated a step back.

"What, what do you want to do?!"

It was undeniable, that Yeyu's bare-faced look, was extremely bright, very warm, and easy to look at. It was the first time a male directly addressed her by name and stood so close to her, the aloof girl showed a flash of panic.

"There's something I need to tell you now."

"?!"

Bella's rose-like pretty face finally turned bright red. She seemed to have encountered such a situation before—

"This, this can’t be…!!!"

Not only Bella, even all the bystanders were stunned, they felt like they had read this scene somewhere in a novel, but it's unbelievable that the person who was fighting had now planned to confess his feelings, such a huge turn of events.

Moreover—

Without them realizing, the eyes of the servants, little loli Alice, the old king, everyone fell on the Second Princess Lelia.

Confessing in front of his lawful wife?!!!
