Reason ???: The Ball (11)

"Haha. Yes, I am... Huh? Wait, what?"

Gregory thought he misheard, but the Princess repeat herself.

"It is foolish to jump into a battle that's beyond your level. You are lucky this time that you manage to survive, but you shouldn't do it next time if you don't want to die."

Gregory froze with confusion.

He couldn't believe what he has just heard. Never in his life would he ever thought that someone would actually call him weak; neither would he have thought that phrase would come from a girl.

Even though he knows his skills do not surpass the Crown Prince or his master, he is still considered one of the Kingdom's strongest.

Ivy, who was standing on the sideline for once, covered her mouth and was awestruck by the situation as she too could not believe that there would be a lady (other than her) who would talk to her friend so straightforwardly.

However, Gregory remained calm and reset his gaped expression.
