A Narcissistic Guide

The guide walked with confidence as if this place was his backyard. From time to time, he also introduced them to the type of trees, plants and flowers that grew here.

Prince Shak recognizes a few of these. But most of them were unknown to him. So, it was informational. Normally, Prince Shak would've been happy to get more knowledge.

But not now. Because—

"—and this little pink flower is called Invincible Cutey." Varian pointed with his thumb, "It reminds me of the day when I sneaked into the highest camp of my enemy, and killed their geniuses. That day, blood flowed like river and corpses piled to a mountain."

Prince Shak opened his mouth to say something but in the end, he simply sighed. Glancing to the side, he looked at the other princes. Their faces were also tired and their eyes were bloodshot.

Even though they're also frustrated, there was more fear and awe in their eyes. The same went for the Sovereigns.
