One year later. In the Kingdom of Florence. At the edge of the vast, gloomy forest, two groups of people were engaged in a fierce battle! On one side was a young man wearing light leather armor and holding a cross - sword. He didn't look very old, probably around 15 or 16. He had short golden hair as bright as the sun, straight eyebrows, slender green eyes, a high nose, and thin lips. Besides being handsome, he gave off an air of coldness. On the other side, there were seven or eight guards in medieval armor, holding sharp weapons like broad - swords, protecting a young girl in a blue princess dress. The girl was extremely beautiful, with skin as fair as snow and a rosy complexion like fresh blood. Her long hair was as black and shiny as ebony. Although she was in great danger and her sapphire - blue eyes were full of panic, it didn't detract from her beauty. Instead, it made her look even more pitiful, arousing people's sympathy. Unfortunately, her enemy was a heartless man. The cold - looking young man held his cross - sword with both hands and forcefully slashed at the girl's guards. The sword wind was so strong that it felt like a knife grazing the guards' cheeks, causing a slight sting. Two of the girl's guards immediately raised their swords to block. Just as they lifted their broad - swords to their chests, the young man's cross - sword came down on them.
With a "clang" sound, the two guards felt a strange force coming through their broad - swords, numbing their hands and making their swords fall to the ground. Before they could react, the young man retracted his sword and slashed again. The two guards only saw a dark shadow flash by, and then they felt a sharp pain in their necks. Their tracheas were cut, and blood spurted out like a fountain. The two guards clutched their necks and fell to the ground. The girl in the blue princess dress immediately let out a sad cry, "Rod, Mike!" However, her cry couldn't stop death from taking her guards' lives. Instead, it made the cold - looking young man cast a chilling look at her. The girl shivered all over. The remaining five guards around her looked at each other, nodded heavily, and then simultaneously raised their weapons and launched an attack on the young man. Was it a case of many against one? The young man sneered disdainfully. No matter how many sheep there were, they could never be a match for a lion. He also held his cross - sword and fearlessly charged forward.
"Clang, clang, clang..." The sound of swords colliding was continuous, and sword lights flashed before their eyes from time to time. Although there were many guards, the young man was extremely terrifying. He had a strength much greater than that of ordinary people, abundant physical strength, and remarkable agility, making him seem like a monster! It was very difficult for the guards to attack him. They were either easily blocked or dodged by him. On the contrary, every slash and strike from the young man when he seized an opportunity would cause them serious injuries! "Ah!" After a few minutes, with a shrill scream, the last guard was beheaded by the young man and slumped to the ground. The young man's body was covered in the guards' blood, making him look like a demon from hell. He walked towards the girl in the blue princess dress expressionlessly, step by step. The girl's face was full of grief and fear. As the young man got closer, she became more and more nervous. Finally, when the young man was five steps away from her, she lost control and stabbed at him with her delicate short - sword. The young man shook his head imperceptibly. With a flick of his cross - sword, he knocked the girl's short - sword away, and it fell into the forest.
The girl seemed to accept her fate. Instead of running away, she stared deeply at the young man. "Why?" she asked him. "Why what?" The young man didn't kill her immediately, perhaps thinking she had no more power to resist, and instead asked back. "Why does a powerful man like you obey that vicious woman's orders?" The young man fell silent, his eyes unfocused, as if lost in thought. Seeing this, a glimmer of hope rose in the girl's heart. "Maybe, I can..." The girl didn't know much about this cold - looking young man, the servant of that vicious woman. She only knew that his name was William and that he had suddenly appeared in the Kingdom of Florence a year ago. At that time, he didn't even know the language of the kingdom, and some people even thought he was mute. Later, when the Kingdom of Florence was at war with other countries, he was conscripted into the army. In the war, he not only learned to speak the language of the kingdom but also, with his terrifying strength, helped the kingdom behead an important figure of the enemy, forcing the enemy country to withdraw its troops! For this, he was appreciated by that vicious woman and became her loyal servant, doing her bidding.
The young man quickly came back to his senses. Looking at the girl in front of him, he sneered coldly, "She is your mother, Princess Snow White! It's not proper for a princess to speak of her mother like this!" It turned out that the girl in the blue princess dress was really a princess! "No, she isn't! I don't have such a mother!" The girl, called Princess Snow White by the young man William, shrieked. Even when angry or scared, Snow White was still very beautiful. William thought so to himself. Without showing any anger on his face, he still calmly corrected Snow White, saying, "Your Highness, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Florence, which were issued by your grandfather, the late King Francis IV, a step - mother has the same rights as a biological mother." "So, legally speaking, Her Majesty the Queen is your mother, dear Princess Snow White!" Snow White glared at William resentfully and taunted, "So, my narcissistic mother, who fantasizes about being the most beautiful woman in the world every day, sent you to kill me?" William pursed his lips and said nothing. He took two more steps forward, stood in front of Snow White, and slowly raised his blood - stained cross - sword. Snow White's face turned ugly. She gave William a resentful look, as if trying to engrave him in her memory, and then reluctantly closed her eyes.
As the cross - sword came down, Snow White only felt the pressure of the sword wind. A "hiss" sound rang out, but Snow White didn't feel any pain. Just as she was feeling strange and uneasy, she suddenly felt a tug on her clothes, and then a sudden chill came over her body! All her clothes were roughly torn off by William. Snow White suddenly opened her eyes and saw that her tattered princess dress was in William's hands, and her naked body was exposed to the air. Snow White's face instantly flushed red, and she couldn't help but let out a scream. She covered her chest with one hand and her lower body with the other. "Sure enough, she's a femme fatale," William thought to himself. On Snow White's side, she gradually calmed down, although the blush on her face still remained. She managed to calm herself down and shouted at William, "Put away your dirty thoughts! The honor of the Florentine royal family cannot be defiled! Even that woman won't tolerate you doing something that shames the Florentine royal family! You'll be nailed to the pillar of shame, bleed to death, and die wailing!"
"Oh, really? Your Highness, do you know what I'm going to do?" William asked playfully. "You just want to..." Snow White's face froze, and she swallowed the rest of the words. After a pause, she said desperately, "As a member of the royal family, I hope to receive the treatment I deserve, including a bloodless death!" "Hahaha... Hahahahaha..." William seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world. A smile appeared on his lips, and in a few seconds, it turned into a big laugh, and finally into a hysterical laugh. After laughing for a while, William stopped and put on a straight face again, but there was still a mocking look in his eyes. He walked to the back, picked up a package, and walked back to Snow White. Snow White was completely confused. She watched helplessly as William opened the package in front of her, revealing a simple hunter's outfit. William threw the hunter's outfit to Snow White. "Put it on!" Snow White was completely at a loss, but her shy nature made her choose to put on the clothes first.
Snow White quickly changed into the clothes. In an instant, she transformed from a beautiful princess into a heroic hunter, but there was still a blush on her cheeks. William said coldly, "Go!" "Go? You're letting me go? Not going to kill me?" "That's right! Hurry up!" William said concisely. "Go? Where can I go? Aren't you that woman's man? Are you my father's secret guardian sent to protect me?" Snow White was a smart girl and noticed something strange about William, so she asked. Snow White's father had died in the war with the enemy country last year. Now, the entire Kingdom of Florence was under the control of Snow White's step - mother, the Queen. Snow White's father only had Snow White as his direct blood - related heir. If Snow White died, according to the kingdom's laws, there would be no one to compete with her step - mother for the kingdom's inheritance! "No! Your Highness, I have to say, you're overthinking it!" William interrupted Snow White's fantasy. "Then why are you sparing me?" "Why? ..." William didn't answer and then said, "Just go!" "Go? Where can I go?" Snow White was at a loss and asked again. "Go into the forest!" William pointed his blood - stained cross - sword at the depths of the gloomy forest. There, the trees were lush, and the tree canopies blocked out the sunlight, making it look like an unfathomable black hole. Snow White shook her head in fear.
"Either you go into the forest, or I'll kill you right now! Your Highness, you choose," William said coldly. Snow White looked at William and saw that he wasn't joking. Then she looked at the forest depths, gritted her teeth hard, and made up her mind. "I'll go into the forest!" After saying that, Snow White walked into the forest. After walking a certain distance, Snow White turned back. William was still standing there. Snow White suddenly bowed to William and said, "Thank you!" After that, Snow White walked into the forest without looking back. Although the forest was dangerous, there was at least a glimmer of hope. William just stood there. After Snow White's figure completely disappeared, he whispered to himself, "Why? Of course, it's for myself!" "Princess Snow White, maybe one day, we'll meet again!" "If the fairy - tale is true and you can meet those seven dwarfs!" "I didn't expect that the world I traveled to would be the world of Snow White from Grimm's Fairy Tales." "Even more unexpectedly, I've somehow become the servant of that vicious queen." "Well, it's almost time to leave! In the past year, I've activated my life energy in the war and officially become a knight. My strength is much stronger than before, and that hourglass is already full of energy and can take me back and forth at any time..." "It's coming soon, it's coming soon!"
A mysterious smile flashed across William's lips and then disappeared in an instant. Then he turned around and left. Neither Snow White nor William cared about the bodies on the ground. The wolves, leopards, and tigers in the forest would take care of that problem for them.
