Roaring Heroes Battle the Overlord (Ainz)

Chapter 47: The Suicide assassin

The emaciated beggar, his body covered in bloodstains, continued to groan on the cold, unforgiving street. Oblivious to the presence of the kingdom's most esteemed princess, the whipping had ceased, yet he remained trembling.

Princess Reneer knelt beside him, taking a bottle of crimson magic potion from her exclusive guard, Climb, who had golden hair and blue eyes. She unscrewed the copper cap and poured the potion gently into the beggar's parched lips.

Several drops of the costly magic elixir trickled down the beggar's lips, but the princess paid no mind, emptying the entire bottle into his mouth.

Barrett, who was watching nearby, exclaimed in astonishment. EeDeChi glanced at him, asking sharply, "What are you shouting about?"

Barrett whispered to his adventurer captain, "That's an extremely high-tier magic healing potion, incredibly expensive! Even if he begged for a hundred years, he couldn't afford that potion! The Golden Princess's kindness and wisdom are truly genuine!"

"She's the Golden Princess?" EeDeChi was surprised.

Long before in the Baharuth Empire, she had often heard about the beauty and intelligence of the Golden Princess. Now, seeing her in person, Princess Reneer left an excellent impression. Not only did she have a high Justice Value, but she was also kind-hearted and cared for her people like her own children, far better than the emperor of the Baharuth Empire.

Thinking back to encountering the undead with a Justice Value of -500 in the imperial palace, who claimed responsibility for recording the emperor's actions and words, EeDeChi felt a surge of anger. Nevertheless, that brat of an emperor later somewhat mended his ways by gifting her a chest of gold coins, significantly improving the economic status of the "The Last Defender of the Way" adventurer team.

However, Reneer's Justice Value fluctuated greatly, which left EeDeChi somewhat perplexed.

Just now, when facing Kurar, Princess Reneer's Justice Value dropped from 167 to -92, but now, while treating the beggar, her Justice Value has risen back to 240.

EeDeChi possessed the innate ability to see others' Justice Value, which represented a person's moral alignment. According to her experience, Justice Values typically fluctuated within a range of -10 to +10 and did not usually undergo significant changes in a short period.

However, Princess Reneer's ability to swing from positive to negative and back again was unprecedented to EeDeChi, challenging her worldview.

Fortunately, Princess Reneer's Justice Value mostly remained at a very high positive state, which reassured EeDeChi.

The wounds on the beggar's body, inflicted by the whip, healed visibly quickly. Seeing a beautifully dressed girl kneeling beside him, he knew she had saved him. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he whispered tearfully, "An angel has descended..."

Princess Reneer handed a few silver coins to the beggar, not minding his hands covered in mud and grime. The people around looked at her with reverence and admiration. Many believers silently prayed with folded hands.

Some ragged individuals surged forward, facing the princess, half-crawling and kneeling on the ground, stretching out their hands as if Princess Reneer were their sun. Touching her highness meant relief from all worldly poverty and disease.

This area was akin to a slum-like street, surrounded by a few beggars in tattered robes emerging from the alleys, pushing into the crowd. Their unkempt hands grabbed at the princess's pink gown, eager to beg for coins.

Princess Reneer's heart was kind, but they were perhaps too impatient. Despite their improper behavior, Princess Reneer remained unruffled, her gentle smile akin to that of an angel, distributing silver coins to them.
