King

Chapter 149 Encounter_3


All the Northern Nobles present didn't protest. This is the treatment a strongman deserves. If you want to fight for it, you better have strong fists.

"Stay alert, there's a fight ahead!"

Hudson warned.

Though he didn't believe anyone would be idiotic enough to try and rob their company, which was anointed by the king, they still needed to be prepared.

If it wasn't for the sake of his comrades, Hudson would have simply sidestepped the fight. It wasn't about being cowardly, but being cautious while away from home- less is more.

Being nosy will only invite trouble. Take this instance, for example, a brawl was happening in the distance. Before Hudson made a decision whether or not to get involved, a Noble took a step forward:

"That's the banner of the Rainbow Moon. Someone is robbing the Singing Maiden Group!"

Upon hearing this news, the nobles who were originally only there to watch the spectacle instantly became excited.

Chivalry isn't an opportunity that comes often, and they can't let it slip away.

Just through eye contact, Hudson knew everyone was itching for action, they just needed someone to make the first move.

There was no room for resistance. This was a team hastily assembled along the way, without any mutual obligations.

"Help!"

"Help!"

...

Hearing the shrill cries, the impatient group of nobles, their hearts filled with courage, charged forth with their guards.

To show his "team spirit", Hudson was no exception. However, he wasn't in a rush to show off, he merely killed a few minions, showing that he was helping.

Quite a few nobles made a similar choice. Aside from the men who were driven by their lower halves and wanted to play hero, the rest were only looking to gain a reputation for "aiding the needy".

It's not that they were afraid of trouble. The issue was, a group of singers wasn't worth risking their lives for. If a princess's caravan was attacked, they would've all rushed forth.

The outlaws who realized they had bitten off more than they could chew immediately scattered and fled. Only the corpses left behind told the tale of the brutal battle.

"On behalf of all the sisters in the Rainbow Moon Singer Group, I sincerely thank you for your help, kind knights!"

With her saccharine-sweet voice, it felt as if she could melt anyone's bones. And indeed, an outrageously beautiful woman stood before them.

Even the widely experienced Hudson was taken aback by her. This was an innate beauty, every part of her body perfectly proportioned.

After a brief moment of being stunned, Hudson soon recovered. Regardless of how beautiful this lady was, he had nothing to do with her.

The Rainbow Moon Singer Group was known not only for their artistic performances but also the endless scandalous rumors.

To Hudson, they were nothing more than high class…

The more beautiful the singer, the more trouble accompanies her. Not only would minor nobles try to vie for her attention, even among the major Nobles, there were those who couldn't resist her allure.

Seeing the reactions of his company, they all had the faces of lustful pigs. If they were not in public right now, they would've probably already been hugging Isabel tightly within their arms…

At such a moment, if Hudson dared to do anything inappropriate, he would surely be the subject of rampant rumors.

As a man who had just gotten engaged, it was necessary to avoid such suspicions. Otherwise, if the news reached the Hollis family, it would be a storm all over again.

Quietly averting his gaze from Isabel, he watched silently as other nobles moved forward to show off. Just when he thought things were coming to an end, trouble came knocking at his door instead.

"Lord Hudson, the lovely cub on your shoulder, could it be the legendary Earth Bear?"

Her saccharine-sweet voice rang out again. Isabel, with her wide-open eyes, was the epitome of curiosity and charm.

Confirming the direction of her gaze, it was indeed directed at the bear. When did his bear become so captivating?

No doubt, the appearance of the Earth Bear is quite adorable, but they are most remembered for their impressive strength and the image of their cute looks is often neglected.

"Miss Isabel, you've got a keen eye! Indeed, this is the mighty Mr. Belsden.

However, he has a temper. It is best to address him as Mr. Belsden. If you call him a cub when he is in a bad mood, you might receive a slap!"

Hudson joked.

When they were in front of strangers, they respect each other's decorum. Any significant issues would be dealt with behind closed doors. It was an agreement between Hudson and the bear cub.

Seemingly scared by this, Isabel's beautiful eyes narrowed as her face wore an expression of alarm, which only made everyone pity her more.

She hesitated before thumping her chest and saying: "Thank you for the reminder, Lord Hudson. I'm afraid only a mighty knight like you deserves the great Mr. Belsden."

Flattery, blatant flattery.

Though Hudson with his bear is undoubtedly powerful, Hudson without it is merely an ordinary genius young man.

Among his peers, he is undoubtedly extraordinary, but it has nothing to do with being powerful.

While it's a compliment, the way it sounds coming from a beautiful woman's mouth gives a different feel.

But for some reason, Hudson felt that this woman before him was intentionally trying to attract his attention.

Before Hudson could figure out why, Isabel quickly turned around and respectfully curtsied to the nobles: "Thank you all for saving our lives. We, the sisters of the Singing Maiden Group, are in your debt.

We have no way to repay your kindness, but we promise that admission to our performances will always be free for you all."

She was a smart woman.

While clearly trying to attract Hudson's attention, she didn't neglect the others. It seemed as if her fascination with the Earth Bear was purely innocent.

At a place full of men, a beautiful woman could always enjoy special treatment.

Even if Isabel's cover wasn't perfect, everyone was willing to fill in the gaps for her, doing her the favor of rounding up her lie.

Rescue to the end, deliver to the shore.

The responsibility of escorting the Rainbow Moon Singing Maiden Group to the Capital naturally fell on the nobles.

Their destination was the same. What a coincidence! Hudson's once suppressed suspicion was aroused once again.

Accompanied by a group of fair maidens, the journey became significantly more cheerful.

Women who have been in the entertainment circle do not have the same restraint as noble ladies. Their jokes were bold and they would often…
