'Shit!' Wise cursed as Aofie's body fell onto him. 'Did I just kill her?'
[Why the fuck did you hit her that hard?!]
The System screamed in his head, the panic evident in its voice.
'I didn't think she would die! She was wearing a relic!'
[You didn't think she would die?! What kind of excuse is that?]
[Brace yourself for failing your mission! Temporary stat restriction for a month!]
The crowd watched him with shock as he tried to prevent Aofie from looking as dead as she currently did.
Killing the princess of a kingdom was a grave sin no matter his status, already, the guards were pulling the gate open to assault him.
[Oh wait… she's alive]
Wise quickly placed his finger on her neck and felt for a pulse. Relief immediately flooded him and he slumped to the floor, the princess in his arms.
He waved his hands toward the crowd and smiled. "Fret not, your princess is alive!"
The crowd stared at him for a moment longer before they erupted in cheers.
