Chapter220-Fortress Members: I’m Done!
"What did you just say?"
"Anastasia and the others actually took over your bunny palace?!"
"Yes, Master! And they even beat me up! Look, look!"
The bunny pouted and turned around to show Velen its rear, causing him to freeze in shock.
Hearing the bunny's complaint, Velen could hardly believe his ears.
They didn't just take over the bunny's home—they kicked him out?
This was the collapse of knightly honor!
"They really took your bunny palace?!"
"Come on, let's get you some justice!"
Velen immediately led the bunny out of his residence, heading straight toward the lavish bunny mansion.
Outside the Bunny Palace
As the group saw the bunny strutting confidently alongside Velen from a distance, they quickly began speaking loudly and very deliberately.
"I think the sanitation system in the magical bunny house is poorly designed. It needs improvement!"
"Yeah, it's way too hard for a bunny to use the bathroom like that!"
"And those crystal beds are way too stiff. We should lay something softer over them!"
"There's not enough lighting at night—we should inlay some glowing gemstones in the walls!"
"We should also install a temperature-adjustment formation. Warm in winter, cool in summer!"
"…"
Velen stopped in his tracks, stunned by what he was hearing.
What was going on?
Weren't they supposed to be squatting in the bunny's palace?
Why did it sound like a heartfelt renovation committee?
Were they actually being… helpful?
"Bunny, after staying over last night, we really did find quite a few flaws," someone called out.
"Don't worry—we'll take care of all of them for you!"
"Exactly! Since you asked us to help improve your bunny house, we'll see it through to the end!"
Everyone sounded so sincere.
The bunny: "…"
As Velen and the bunny approached, the group continued their lively discussion.
"Gods above!"
"Are you people acting right now?! Who was it that kicked my bunny butt yesterday?!"
"Who the heck asked you to 'help improve' anything?"
"You literally told me to get out! Don't act all nice now!"
The bunny's mind broke completely.
This was bullying—pure, unfiltered bullying!
"Bunny, this is the 'takeover' you were talking about?" Velen turned and questioned.
The group all put on smug expressions, secretly thinking:
That's what you get for bragging about your fancy bunny palace. You forgot your place, and now look what happened!
"Master, I-I…"
The bunny was so flustered, it was on the verge of tears.
These bastards!
Never in its wildest dreams did it imagine they could be this shameless!
"Hahaha!"
"Well done, Bunny. You even invented a new career path—'bunny bed tester'? Truly worthy of being my chosen rabbit!"
Velen chuckled as he patted the bunny's head.
"And all of you, thank you for caring so much about Bunny's well-being!"
"Keep up the good work, everyone!"
The group: "???"
Not only was the bunny completely stunned, but even the crowd of onlookers was utterly dumbfounded.
They all had the same thought:
Wait, what? That worked?!
Ahem!
"Master, you flatter us. This is just standard procedure!" the bunny immediately puffed out its chest in pride.
It didn't fully understand why it was being praised, but that didn't stop it from milking the glory.
"Justin, come with me to Sir Arthur's manor. He still needs to finish the last painting."
Velen gave the smug bunny another pat, then activated a portal and disappeared with Justin.
Wait a minute!
Just then, someone realized something important.
"Velen! Why are you out here?! Didn't I say no unauthorized outings?!"
Anastasia finally noticed him and shouted furiously.
"Big Sister, this is from Master," said the lollipop girl as she floated over to Anastasia with a sweet smile.
"These are 50 bottles of god-rank mana potion. If you take them all—and combine it with my secret technique—you'll reach Supreme Rank Lv.9 in just three days!"
"What?!"
"Three days to Supreme Rank?!"
Anastasia was shaken to her core.
Were these potions really that powerful?
She hurried over to the bunny and asked in a whisper, "Hey, Bunny, did Velen give you any of those miracle potions?"
Hmm?
Miracle potion?
The bunny tilted its head and blinked innocently. "Respected Lady Anastasia, what miracle potion?"
"You really don't know?" Anastasia scrutinized the bunny's expression.
"I don't know!"
Hearing that, Anastasia finally smiled smugly.
Finally! One thing I've gotten before this rabbit!
This little victory made her so happy that she completely forgot to scold Velen for sneaking out.
At least it proved Velen still held her—the fortress big sister—close to heart.
"Hey!"
"You all heard what Master said earlier!"
"You'd better fix every single problem with my bunny palace today! Or I'm telling on you!"
The bunny raised its head and yelled righteously.
The group collectively collapsed.
Their little scheme to prank the bunny had completely backfired.
This was the definition of shooting yourself in the foot!
Uno Kingdom – Sir Arthur's Manor
"Where is everyone?"
Arriving in the courtyard, Velen looked around, puzzled to find it empty.
Just then, Justin pointed upward.
"Lord Velen—look up there!"
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Are the knight commanders… posing for some dramatic scene?"
On the roof, five knight commanders stood in a row, backs turned toward the rising sun.
Velen was baffled.
"What are you five doing up here?"
Leaping onto the rooftop, he called out.
"Gods above…"
When the five turned to face him, Velen was stunned.
Their faces were swollen like pig heads—bruised, battered, barely recognizable.
"What the—?!"
"Who beat you guys up like this?!"
Then he remembered: he'd sent the red-haired one-eyed man and the little girl over last night.
"Was it them?" he asked cautiously.
"No, Your Highness…" Arthur shook his head.
"It was just the little girl."
"The one-eyed guy was about to join in, but she said he was getting in the way—so she poked out his other eye!"
Even as he spoke, Arthur's voice trembled.
Brutal! Absolutely brutal!
Who pokes someone's eye out just for being annoying?!
The other four knight commanders nodded grimly.
They all vividly remembered the violent little girl from last night.
They had thought the one-eyed swordsman was scary enough—
But that adorable little girl?
Terrifying beyond belief.
No exaggeration—after that night, all five knight commanders would probably shudder any time they saw a cute little girl on the street.
"These two are out of control!"
"I told them to spar—not go overboard!"
"Don't worry—I won't send them to visit you again."
Velen immediately apologized.
"No!"
"Lord Velen, please don't do that!"
To his surprise, the five knight commanders responded in unison.
