Chapter 291 The Second Prince Is A Simp!
The second prince didn't want Alisceon to know that he had supported her secretly since he was well aware that Alisceon wanted to be independent. That was why Alisceon didn't know that it was the second prince's doings that she still had supporters.
It was the second prince's commands towards those nobles that supported Alisceon to not reveal that they were supporting Alisceon because of the second prince. The nobles agreed and they instead supported Alisceon under the guise of owing Alisceon's mother a favor which was (wasn't) the reason that they supported Alisceon.
Not only that, the second prince was the reason why Alisceon even had somewhat powerful royal knights that accompanied her in her journey towards the Mystic Forest to meet the old mage of the mystic forest.
Those royal knights that accompanied Alisceon were the subordinates of the Ultimate Knight or in other words, the subordinates of the second prince's swordsman instructor.
And the reason why Alisceon wasn't killed by the old man of the mystic forest despite Alisceon's royal siblings paying the old man to kill her was because of the second prince's interference.
But even he alone wasn't enough to fend off his royal siblings so he only reconciled with killing the old butler of Alisceon in exchange for the old man of the mystic forest's assurance that he wouldn't kill Alisceon.
The second prince was indeed worthy of Allen's respect!
From what Allen had noticed, the personality and determination of the second prince toward his loved one were quite similar to his.
After all, Allen would also do the same or even more as the second prince had done if Allen was in his shoes. He would do anything for Iris' sake which was what the second prince had done toward Alisceon.
The only difference between the two of them was that Allen was supremely talented and powerful while the second prince paled in comparison to him in terms of power and talent. But other than that, the two of them were highly similar.
In other words, Allen and the second prince were both simps. The two of them would do anything they could do to earn the love of their crush.
At that time, Allen felt that he had met a comrade of his!
If ever Alisceon and the second prince managed to get together and become lovers, Allen would grant the two of them his blessings.
After all, Allen had already deemed himself as not only Alisceon's big brother but also her legal guardian. Alisceon's father which was the king of Gaia wasn't worthy to become her legal guardian since that old man dared to neglect not only Alisceon but also his other sons and daughters.
The king of Gaia was neutral towards the candidates for the battle of the throne. He even encouraged them to fight against each other so that he would be able to determine the worthy daughter or son of his that could ascend the throne.
Allen didn't know whether his parents were worst than Alisceon's father. It was like choosing the lesser evil between two evils.
After Allen had analyzed the second prince's true intentions, he withdrew his <Supreme Analyst> and <Supreme Time Manipulator> talents which caused the time to flow normally again.
It should be noted that when Allen had slowed down time, John was immune to it. Although John was immune to the effects of his <Supreme Time Manipulator> talent, he wasn't immune to his <Supreme Analyst> talent.
So even if John was immune to the effects of slowed time, Allen was still faster since he had increased his reaction time and thought speed using his <Supreme Analyst> talent.
After Allen deactivated his <Supreme Analyst> and <Supreme Time Manipulator> talents, the flow of time went back to normal which prompted Alisceon to the second prince's greetings.
"Yes, a second prince. But you aren't worst than me. You are supported by the Ultimate Knight."
Alisceon exchanged pleasantries with the second prince.
Allen noticed that Alisceon had a good relationship with the second prince since her tone was soft and kind when it came to speaking with the second prince.
Alisceon's voice wasn't filled with poison and venom when he spoke with the second prince unlike when she spoke with her other royal siblings according to the memories that he had received from Alisceon.
That was a good start since Alisceon and the second prince's relationship could blossom into love with just a push and support from him.
And from Alisceon's memories, the name of the second prince was Reid Vale Gaia. Reid was the only royal sibling of Alisceon that earned Allen's recognition and respect.
With that respect in mind, Allen never planned to prevent Reid from getting closer to Alisceon as long as he truly loved Alisceon. Allen was excellent when it came to reading the intentions of people so he was confident that Reid was worthy of Alisceon's hand in marriage.
As for the two of them being siblings and the fact that their love would be forbidden since it was incest, there was no need to mention the laws of the modern world in a medieval fantasy world.
It was common in noble and royal families to marry their siblings or cousins to keep the bloodline pure. Arranged marriage was quite common for the noble and royal families and because of that, they preferred if they kept the bloodline pure using arranged marriage.
The only way for incest not to happen between noble and royal families was for them to find a worthy husband or wife that wouldn't sully their bloodline. So it was either a marriage between two different noble or royal families or their wife or husband was a talented and reputed mage or knight.
Not to mention, Alisceon and Reid were only half-siblings when it came to their bloodline. Alisceon and Reid's fathers were the same but their mothers weren't. So the two of them were stepbrother and sister.
"I'm glad that you are doing well. Did any of our royal siblings bully you? Don't hesitate to tell me since I will beat them up even if they are the first prince!"
Reid assured Alisceon that he would offer his support to her especially when she was bullied by their royal siblings.
But it seemed that Alisceon was quite dense since she hadn't noticed that Reid had a thing for her. It was either Alisceon was dense or Reid hid her feelings for her that well. But Allen believed that it was the former.
Even an average love guru in his world would be able to know that Reid had feelings for Alisceon since he was unusually nice towards Alisceon.
Not to mention, Allen noticed that Reid's heartbeat would skip a beat every time he talked with Alisceon and even Reid was having difficulty keeping his feelings hidden from Alisceon. That was how much Reid loved Alisceon. Reid loved her too much that it was getting difficult for him to suppress and hide it.
The only reason why Reid suppressed his feelings for Alisceon was that he deemed that Alisceon was too young to know about his love for her. He didn't want to taint Alisceon's innocence and purity.
Even if Reid lusted after Alisceon, he wasn't a degenerate who would have sex with a young girl. He wasn't a sex beast brimming with horniness.
Since Allen had accessed Reid's memories before as well as his thoughts, he was well aware that Reid planned to confess to Alisceon when Alisceon was at 16 years of age.
In Alisceon and Distere's world, the legal age was 16 years old. So those who became 16 years old in this world was considered an adult.
Reid was currently 16 years of age, the same age as Allen. And since Alisceon was fifteen years old, if things go well, Alisceon and Reid would be lovers a year from now.
Allen would do his best as the Supreme Wingman to let Reid successfully court Alisceon.
Putting those thoughts aside, Allen shifted his attention back to Alisceon and Reid's conversation.
"None of our royal siblings will dare to bully me since I have the Supreme Mage's support. So don't worry too much, the second prince."
Hearing that Alisceon's safety was secured with the support of the Supreme Mage, Reid was no longer worried about Alisceon. He was satisfied that Alisceon was no longer in harm's way.
"But still… don't forget to ask for my assistance. I don't care much about the throne as long as your safety is guaranteed."
Despite Reid showing his love and care for Alisceon, she was still oblivious about it as Reid only received a nod from Alisceon. Seeing that Alisceon didn't notice his obvious sign of love, Reid only sighed in defeat.
After exchanging pleasantries with Alisceon, Reid's attention shifted toward the deep blue-haired mage that was standing beside Alisceon. What stood out from that mage was his white-colored mage robe with golden linings that was adorned by the 8th Circle Mage badge as well as the Supreme Mage badge.
"From your attire, you should be his excellency, the Supreme Mage. Forgive me for the late greetings."
