As he watched the power within him grow again, Shirou stood on a cloud, quietly experiencing the new sensations brought about by the divine powers.
The sky, the earth, storms, the ocean, the underworld... his domain of power encompasses almost every region, ensuring that he can remain invincible anywhere in this world.
"It's time to go to London."
Shirou casually shut down the light screen that appeared in front of him, and his figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star.
……
Erica and Liliana had already arrived at London Airport, where they had been waiting for Shirou for some time.
"Your Majesty! Are you alright?"
Liliana asked with some concern.
Shirou then raised his hand and patted her head.
They were only fourteen years old at this time. Although they were already quite beautiful, they were still somewhat immature in their temperament.
"Do not worry."
Upon hearing Shirou's answer, the girl's eyes lit up, sparkling with admiration.
"So, Your Majesty, you have already defeated the gods that appeared? How amazing!"
It may seem like a question, but she was absolutely certain.
The fact that Shirou was able to return unscathed speaks volumes.
"Yes, the powers of the three most famous gods in the third generation of Greek mythology—Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon—are now in my hands."
Shirou's words caused both Erica and Liliana to widen their eyes in surprise.
"To be able to defeat three main gods and seize their power... truly worthy of being our 'King'!"
Erica was now completely impressed by Shirou's power, and her eyes began to burn with fervor and admiration.
If Paul Brantley knew that his niece had fallen for Shirou so quickly, he would probably be heartbroken.
No matter what, she was his only relative. Although she was his niece, to Paul Brantley, she was no different from his daughter.
However, Shirou didn't care too much about these things at the moment. Even though he knew that these two knight princesses admired him, he had just come out of the 'boundary between life and death', so he decided to deal with it later.
Chapter Forty: You Understand People's Hearts
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Shirou smiled as he met the gazes of Erica and Liliana.
"Princess Alice should be waiting for us at the Council of Sages. Let's go check it out."
Alice Louise Of Nafal as [Greenney]
The former chairperson of the Council of Wise Men is now only a special advisor, so she does not reside in the Council of Wise Men.
As the daughter of Duke Goddin, she naturally lived in a villa in a wealthy area.
Shirou, along with Erica and Liliana, soon arrived at the entrance of a villa.
It's less a villa and more a massive palace-like building. Compared to the surrounding villas, it's much larger, much like a castle where a princess lives in a story, only on a smaller scale.
As Shirou stepped into the front hall, he was suddenly stopped by the knights guarding the two sides.
"Excuse me, sir. Do you have an appointment?"
Unlike the snobbish watchdogs in cheesy novels who bite the protagonist at the first sign of trouble, these two guards were not only well-dressed, but also spoke in a very polite tone.
If these two knew what kind of being they were facing, they probably wouldn't have been able to maintain this attitude.
The two guards were unaware of how dangerous their act of stopping Shirou was, but Erica and Liliana were sweating profusely with tension.
Erica swallowed hard, then quickly looked at the two guards.
"We were invited by Princess Alice."
Upon hearing the title "Princess Alice," the two guards immediately became extremely respectful and bowed deeply to Shirou and the others.
"We are so sorry for our abruptness. Please come in."
After the two men stepped aside, Shirou didn't pay them any mind. He had no interest in arguing with two knights, especially since they were both well-mannered.
As they stepped into the front hall, Erica and Liliana, who were following Shirou, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Erica gently patted her chest to calm her nervousness.
"It seems Princess Alice has already given the word."
1017459498
Liliana nodded as well.
"Yes, otherwise they wouldn't have let us in so easily."
It's the Duke's mansion after all, so it's impossible for him to just release someone because he knows Princess Alice. It's likely that Princess Alice had already given prior notice to her servants.
As expected, the journey was smooth from then on, and the three of them walked through the flowerbeds and into the building.
As I approached the door, a woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses blocked my way.
The woman was dressed in luxurious yet elegant clothes, and her skin was very well-maintained. Although she was nearly thirty years old, she looked like she was only in her early twenties. Only upon closer observation would one discover that the temperament she possessed was something that a woman in her early twenties could not possibly exhibit.
"Hello, I am the butler of the Duke of Goddin's household. Princess Alice sent me here to greet you."
Upon hearing this, Shirou couldn't help but laugh.
"They're already at the door, why bother answering them?"
The woman who claimed to be the housekeeper immediately showed an apologetic expression and bowed to Shirou. A glimpse of white skin caught Shirou's eye; it was the heart of a person.
"I'm so sorry, Lord Orihara, we did intend to meet you at the airport, but while we were waiting there, we were suddenly struck by natural disasters like tsunamis and storms that are beyond human control. We simply couldn't continue waiting there..."
The housekeeper's answer left Shirou speechless for a moment.
After all, although he didn't cause those natural disasters, they were all related to him.
In a sense, it is an indirect relationship.
If Shirou hadn't fought Zeus, Zeus wouldn't have summoned the other two main gods from mythology.
Although in the end, Shirou still managed to wipe them all out.
Now that the three main gods, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, have all died at Shirou's hands, most of the other third-generation gods would not dare to come after him.
Even if they harbored a grudge against Shirou, they wouldn't openly come looking for him. After all, after that battle, the other gods should know that they were no match for Shirou.
Of course, there's no way to find those gods right now, so Shirou doesn't intend to waste time thinking about these meaningless things.
After a moment of deep thought, Shirou coughed, then looked at the apologetic housekeeper in front of him and spoke.
"Okay, I understand... Where's Princess Alice?"
Upon hearing Shirou's question, the housekeeper immediately straightened up, her tall figure highlighting her proud curves. However, Shirou didn't pay much attention to her, as Erica and Liliana were clearly much more eye-catching than the housekeeper in front of him. The only thing they couldn't match was their abundance of heart.
"plz follow me."
The housekeeper answered Shirou with humility, then led them into the room and up the stairs to the third floor.
Princess Alice's residence was extremely luxurious, located in Hampstead, one of London's most prestigious residential streets. It's safe to say that money alone can't buy a house with a courtyard like this.
In this place that is equivalent to a castle,
Her room was undoubtedly the most exquisite and luxurious in the entire place.
Princess Alice's boudoir is decorated in a simple yet elegant style. Upon entering the room, the most eye-catching feature is the princess bed, hidden behind a gauze curtain, located at the very back of the room.
Behind the thin gauze curtain, the face of the girl lying flat on the bed was faintly visible, giving people an endless sense of mystery.
"Is it serious enough?"
Shirou frowned slightly as he looked at Princess Alice, who was still lying flat on the bed after he entered the room.
At this moment, Princess Alice, behind the gauze curtain, spoke in a weak voice, full of apology.
"I'm so sorry, Lord Orihara, as you can see, I'm in such a bad state that even lifting my arm is difficult. I really can't get out of bed to greet you..."
Hearing the girl's soft words, Shirou walked to the princess bed and reached out to lift the thin curtain.
The girl's stunning beauty was immediately revealed to Shirou. Even though the body under the blanket was just an outline, it was clear that she was very slender and delicate.
Her pretty face was somewhat pale, her lips were even more bloodless, and her eyes were slightly lowered as if she were about to fall asleep at any moment. Her slender neck was very fair, and it looked even whiter under the sunlight shining through the curtains, to an unnatural level, like a patient who had just undergone surgery.
Chapter 41 The Princess's Gratitude
Looking at Princess Alice like this, Shirou couldn't help but recall the time he met her in her ghost form in the mansion room in Naples. Back then, she was so lively, with a beautiful face and a perfectly slender body, unlike the sickly look she gave off now.
Shirou observed Princess Alice's body for a moment, then sighed slightly.
"Given your current physical condition, you have at most ten more years to live."
Upon hearing this, the girl looked at Shirou with a pitiful gaze, lost in thought.
"What can I do about that? If that's my fate, then maybe it's destiny."
Princess Alice bit her lip tightly, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"I'm just a little unwilling... I clearly didn't want this power at all, so why did it have to come to me?"
This is probably what they mean by "beauty is often short-lived".
Shirou sighed softly, then saw that the girl was trying to sit up but lacked the strength, so he quickly reached out to help her up and placed a cushion behind her back.
"Thank you, Lord Orihara. It would be the least I can do to show you respect by coming to see you in this manner. But if you really make me stay at your place, I'm afraid I'll become a laughingstock because my frail body can't even hold a teacup properly."
Princess Alice said to Shirou with some apology.
"To my shame, the witch abilities I possess are arguably those of the most powerful witch in the world. I travel to the underworld in my spirit form to gain enlightenment and knowledge, which is why I became the chairperson of the Council of Sages at such a young age, because a large part of my knowledge comes from spiritual vision."
"While possessing such powerful abilities made me a powerful witch at such a young age, the price I paid was this body I have now."
Shirou then looked at Princess Alice and said to her.
"I do have a way to restore Princess Alice's body."
Princess Alice's eyes lit up upon hearing Shirou's words; it was undoubtedly fantastic news for her.
However, after a brief period of ecstasy, she gradually calmed down and looked at Shirou.
"Orihara 'King,' what can I do for you?"
During her previous meeting with the new king in Naples, Princess Alice had already gained a general understanding of the king's temperament.
