"you this!"

Seeing Ning Feng leisurely leading the two of them to follow the maid, Anthony's expression was twisted and veins appeared on his forehead.

The forward body was pulled hard, and Anthony turned around suddenly, glaring at the person who was blocking him.

"Don't hold me!"

Snapped!

The loud and clear voice echoed in the dimly illuminated palace corridor, directly distracting Anthony's roar.

The unfamiliar voice sounded in his ears, and Anthony's perverse expression froze.

In disbelief, he raised his hand and touched the left side of his face, feeling the remaining touch on it.

Um!?

Looking at Sophie in front of him, he slowly retracted his right hand. It took a long time for Anthony to understand what happened at that moment.

It seems like... I've been slapped?

By his fiancée.

Sophie is just an ordinary person, a noble courtesan with no power, while Anthony is a fourth-level melee-type awakener.

Logically speaking, a slap in the face cannot cause much harm to him.

Melee-type awakened people are no strangers to pain, but this humiliating action is an injury on another level.

The pain was minimal, but the additional magic damage from this action was indeed much higher than it originally was.

Too much too much!

His eyes widened, and he was in a daze for a while, watching Sophie speak hoarsely:

"You hit me? Even my father never hit me?"

As he muttered to himself, the veins on Anthony's forehead throbbed, and his breathing became frighteningly heavy.

"You actually hit me because of him?"

For a man, you slapped me!?

"you……"

Snapped!

Same position, but harder and faster.

"you……"

Snapped!

Two consecutive slaps in the face caused Anthony's anger, which had reached its peak, to fall into a deathly silence.

Anthony:...huh?

My mind seems to be blank... What happened?

Before his mind could think clearly about what happened, his body had already moved on its own, gripping Sophie's neck and pressing her hard against the wall.

boom.

He raised his right hand high, as if he was going to slap it back hard in the next second.

And with his strength, if this palm strikes Sophie, who is just an ordinary person, there will be no other result except having her head smashed.

But even though her body was lifted up and she felt suffocated and uncomfortable, Sophie's expression did not change.

Looking coldly as she was about to think about her fiancé, Sophie said coldly:

"Are you going to kill me?"

"Anthony Eli."

!!!

When he heard this title, Anthony's back suddenly felt cold, the blood in his eyes faded a little, and he paused in raising his arm.

full name……

A woman is calling me by my full name!

Danger!

The habitual uneasiness in his heart made Anthony wake up and look at the woman he held in his hand.

!!!

Boom.

Anthony suddenly let go of his hand, and Sophie, who lost her support, fell unsteadily to the ground.

"Ahem..."

Raising her hand to rub her lightly bruised neck, she looked up at Anthony who was standing there blankly and said lightly:

"Calm down now?"

His palms trembled slightly, and Anthony took a step back, terrified of what he wanted to do just now.

Did I just want to kill Sophie?

Killed his childhood sweetheart and fiancée?

Holding on to the wall, Sophie stood up with difficulty and said softly:

"Calm down, it wasn't your problem just now, your current state is very abnormal."

Even if his fiancé is in trouble in his private life, he is still the orthodox heir of a great nobleman, and there is absolutely no shortage of education.

Judging from his performance just now, there is no sign of Cheng Fu at all, he looks like a crazy manic patient.

And relying on her understanding and investigation of Anthony over the years, Sophie knew very well what her childhood sweetheart was like.

Anthony may be arrogant, and may not be smart enough in many political situations, but he is definitely not that kind of brainless idiot.

What happened before happened too suddenly. Sophie and Ning Feng didn't even start to exchange greetings. Anthony rushed directly in front of her and faced Ning Feng.

He blocked her completely behind him and glared at the approaching Ning Feng, as if facing an uneasy factor that would take her away from him.

This is very abnormal.

Ning Feng and Anthony have never interacted with each other, and there is no conflict. It is very abnormal for Anthony to behave like this.

"Calmly recall what you felt just now?"

"Feeling? I just...ah!"

When he thought about it again, a chuckle appeared in his mind, followed by a stinging pain as if his brain was being punctured, causing Anthony to let out a scream.

Boom.

Anthony knelt down heavily and covered his head, his face began to look ugly.

"...I feel that he is very dangerous, very dangerous."

"Don't let him get close."

There was a disgusting and repulsive aura about that man, which was very dangerous and frightening.

It feels very strange that a fourth-level arcane knight can actually have such fear.

Perhaps just like what Sophie said, his current situation is very wrong.

There was something invisibly controlling his thinking, and he was constantly being affected, but it just exploded at that moment.

"There is something..."

"There is power affecting my thinking, Sophie, I...hiss!"

Severe pain reappeared, Anthony's teeth suddenly clenched, fine bloodshot eyes appeared, and his body shook uncontrollably.

"Ahhh!"

Anthony kept staring closely at Sophie in front of him, stood up suddenly from the ground, and turned his back suddenly.

"I...I don't feel very comfortable right now."

"Leave me alone!"

Clang!

Pulling out the fallen long sword from the ground, inserting it into the scabbard with some slowness but unusual force, Anthony strode towards the opposite direction of their room.

"Anthony! Wait a minute, there are still things I haven't thought about clearly..."

Sophie called, but this time her obedient fiancé did not respond, but instead quickened his pace.

"Wait a minute!"

Staggering forward, Sophie raised her hand to grab Anthony's hand.

"Do not touch me!"
