Chapter 2716 Sworn Brothers
“Argh!” As if he had gone berserk, Tigerus let out a thunderous roar and charged at Jared again. Jared drew his Dragonslayer Sword and instantaneously pressed it against Tigerus’ neck.
The icy aura that it released jolted Tigerus back to his senses. Panic set into his eyes as he stared at the sword Jared was holding.
“A-Are you trying to kill me? Let me warn you. I’m the general of the royal guards. If you kill me, there’s no way you’re going to walk out of here alive,” Tigerus threatened.
“If you weren’t the general of Imperial Beast City, your head would already be rolling on the ground. Now, get out of my sight,” Jared snapped.
Tigerus gave Jared a look. Upon sensing his murderous intent, he gritted his teeth and turned around to leave. After walking for some distance, he turned around again and declared ferociously, “Just you wait. This isn’t over!”
Jared paid him no heed. Upon sheathing his Dragonslayer Sword, he shifted his attention to Xandros who left without saying a word.
Instead of returning to his accommodation, Xandros headed to Tigerus’ residence. He knew that Tigerus, as the general of the city’s royal guard, was outraged at being humiliated by Jared. On top of that, Tigerus also had his eye on Ivasha. “Damn it! How dare a puny human humiliate me like that? I’ll definitely kill him…”
Tigerus began smashing things to vent his frustration upon his return. All his servants could do was tremble in fear as they watched..
Right then, Xandros strode in with a slight smile. Tigerus was naturally stunned by the sight of the unexpected guest.
Consumed by rage still, Tigerus asked Xandros in a frosty tone, “What are you doing here? Have you come to mock me?”
Tigerus’ tone was snarky, for Xandros had come to marry Ivasha. Anyone who competed with him for the princess was naturally his enemy. Xandros was no exception in this case.
“General Tigerus, why would I do that? In fact, I should be addressing you as Mighty Tigerus since you’re older than me,” Xandros replied with a grin.
As the prince of Norwal City, there was no real need for him to show such humility. He was only doing so to gain a better understanding of Imperial Beast City’s strength to facilitate his subjugation of the city.
Given that Tigerus was the general of the royal guards and the whole city was under his command, Xandros knew that getting Tigerus to join him would make taking over the city much easier.
The raging Tigerus was suddenly thrown off guard by Xandros’ respectful greeting. Xander was a prince after all, and Tigerus was naturally flattered by the accorded respect.
“Prince Xandros, you’re a distinguished prince, while I, despite being a general, am just a subordinate, so please don’t call me that,” Tigerus responded with a change of attitude.
“Mighty Tigerus, my position as prince doesn’t matter when it comes to admiring someone like you. If you don’t mind, I hope that you’ll accept me as your sworn brother. I can then officially address you that way!” Xandros proposed with a serious expression.
Tigerus was filled with astonishment.. Never in his wildest imagination did he expect a prince like Xandros to want to become sworn brothers with him.
He quickly shook his head. “Prince Xandros, you can’t do that. You’re Princess Ivasha’s husband and the son-in- law of our king. It would be inappropriate for both of us to become sworn brothers.”
