Chapter 85 – Visit of the Princess (2)
Xian’s thinking stopped.
Now… what did you just say?
Xian wondered if he had just heard it correctly.
I wondered if the eardrum had temporarily lost its function.
But no matter how many times I think about it.
no matter how you look back
The words that definitely came out of Elena’s mouth were ‘Shall we get married?’
what is it What is it really?
What is it really? What is it?
If I were to spit out Xian’s thoughts as they are now.
He would have been sentenced to death for insulting the imperial family.
So, a sudden thought.
‘ah.’
Could this be the truth Kyle faced?
Princess, that Elena is crazy?
So, did it suddenly disappear?
Foreseeing the future a thousand years from now?
So, Arnaise’s colleague too.
Did you leave Leah behind as well?
If you marry Leah and have a child, do you think there will be a child like this?
Arnaise’s colleagues won’t believe it anyway, right?
Xian had various delusions in his head.
It seemed that Xian had gone mad along with Elena.
“You must have been taken aback when I saw you didn’t say anything. From what I can see… it was quite out of the blue.”
I will say one more time.
It wasn’t just out of the blue, I wondered if it was crazy.
“But I am serious. how is it. Won’t we get married?”
Elena asked Xian again.
Xian stared blankly at Elena.
It didn’t look like he was joking at all.
That’s why it’s even more absurd.
“I will refuse.”
Of course it was rejected.
Then, Elena looked slightly surprised.
And Xian was also surprised by Elena’s startled look.
Did you really mean it?
“Why?”
“I know we just met for the first time.”
“Is it important to meet first when you get married?”
Doesn’t it matter?
Xian hadn’t been married yet, but he knew this much.
“Anyway, it’s an arranged marriage, and if you live, you’ll live with affection.”
But it didn’t seem to be the case with Elena.
That’s why it didn’t look sane.
“Anyway, I refuse. And rather I would like to ask. What is the reason?”
“Because it seems that my older brother likes the lord.”
Elena answered without hesitation.
Conrad is none other than Elena’s older brother.
He was the crown prince of the empire.
And Elema’s words that Conrad likes Xian.
That was something Xian knew.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just looking at the situation in the west, I couldn’t tell.
But what does that have to do with getting married anyway?
“This is my first time. My older brother introduced me to a man. You just objected every time.”
Following Elena’s words, Xian was able to understand the rough situation.
So suddenly, Elena came to Ruben.
As expected, it seemed that this was Conrad’s main plan to connect Xian and Elena.
To be precise, it must have been the intention to build a kite by getting to know each other slowly.
“Then why don’t we get married?”
It was never meant to go like this and get married!
“I refuse.”
“Why? Everyone wants to marry me. Everyone withdrew due to opposition from my brother and His Majesty.”
Well, I guess.
Leaving aside everything else, she was unconditional in terms of being the princess.
But the look is also so beautiful.
What man in the world could refuse?
Of course, he had to go with his son-in-law, but that was an advantage.
Because it was to become a member of the imperial family.
To be honest, there was almost no man on the continent who would refuse even if he pushed for marriage at the first meeting.
exactly.
“I have no thoughts of marriage yet.”
Except for Xian.
Xian really had no idea.
I didn’t even think about getting married right now.
Above all, I was busy chasing after Kyle.
In addition, he had to collect gold to spend on Ruben.
If you give me about 1 billion gold… I don’t know.
Xian had no thoughts of marriage at all.
“Even if I get married in the future, I want to do it with someone I like. No matter how much the princess says it’s an arranged marriage, shouldn’t you do it with someone you have some heart for?”
Then Elena stared at Xian.
I can’t figure out what we think.
No, it was Elena, whom I didn’t even want to know.
Is it because of that?
“What do you think makes an empire great?”
Elena’s question was also truly incomprehensible.
To make the empire great.
What question is that again?
Isn’t that a question with a fixed answer?
Sian slowly opened his mouth.
“Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Highness the Crown Prince. And aren’t they members of the royal family like the princess?”
“Do you really think so?”
Xian nodded.
Of course, it was a completely different answer from Xian’s idea.
It was a question with a fixed answer in the first place, so what?
Elena opened her mouth slowly.
“I think the power of many nobles who make the empire shine is great. Families like Elandur and Lorsilt.”
Elena’s gaze looking at Xian.
“The imperial family and noble families. Although gathered under the same empire, the link between the two is weak. But wouldn’t it be nice if, because of me, those aristocratic families and the imperial family could form strong ties and work together to prosper the empire?”
Xian looked at Elena quietly.
Well, to be honest, that wasn’t entirely wrong.
The fate of an arranged marriage.
In a way, it could be said to be her duty as a princess.
So, Elena’s idea could be considered quite reasonable.
I thought I was very crazy.
It didn’t seem like that again.
It was just that his way of thinking was different from that of ordinary people.
So, her awareness as a princess was very clear.
However, there was also a feeling that the direction was off.
“Is that why you decided to marry me?”
“yes.”
“I’m sorry, but if it’s because of my Elandur’s name, you misunderstood.”
“I heard rumors. But, isn’t Ellandur’s name going somewhere?”
It seems your brother didn’t say anything.
I was planning to go somewhere in 5 months.
“And the man my older brother introduced me to is the first.”
Sian let out a sigh inwardly.
Should I say that I have mastered this worldly business?
Or should I say it’s a flower in a greenhouse that I don’t know anything about.
I couldn’t guess at all.
“I will definitely decline the proposal of marriage.”
“Um… are you really not thinking?”
“That’s right.”
“there’s nothing we can do.”
Elena shook her head as if she couldn’t help it.
And Elena, who brings her hands back to the refreshments.
“Is this the end?”
“You say you don’t like it. Have you ever changed your mind?”
“no. It’s not like that, but…”
Xian really wanted something.
If that’s the case, then why did the story-linked quests respond?
Could it be that this was the truth Kyle faced?
That Elena from a thousand years later is insane?
Is that why Kyle abandoned Arnaise and Leah and left Holyeon?
What nonsense is that…
“Puff.”
At that moment, Elena burst into laughter.
There, Elena looked up, giggling and laughing.
“sorry. I stop without realizing it with a dumbfounded expression.”
Even as she said that, it was Elena who was giggling.
Before long, Elena pulled out a letter from her bosom.
“Take it.”
“What is this?”
“A letter from the saintess to the lord.”
“······ yes?”
Xian wanted something.
“Why does the princess have this?”
“I got it from my older brother.”
“…?”
What is this again?
I couldn’t understand everything that had to do with Elena.
“The saintess asked her brother to deliver the letter on her behalf. I delivered it on behalf of my older brother.”
“Are you saying that this is why you came to Leuven?”
“yes.”
“You didn’t come to marry me, did you?”
“That’s right too.”
Then Elena picked up a refreshment.
And then, crunchy, I bit into the refreshment.
“hmm···! This is really delicious! If I go back to the imperial palace like this, I think I’ll just give up my appetite… Do you really want to marry me?”
“doesn’t exist. And what does a good snack have to do with marriage?”
“If you marry the lord, you can sit here.”
Sian shook his head.
Elena emptied an entire plate before she knew it and said.
“Originally, I was only going to deliver the letter… Can I stay here a little longer?”
“It’s not possible.”
“You are too adamant.”
“If you evade it, you won’t be forced to sit down.”
As if Elena had been caught, she flinched and trembled.
Seeing that, Xian thought that he had given away refreshments for no reason.
“My older brother told me to come slowly while looking around the estate. I couldn’t even get married, but if I go on like this, my older brother will scold me.”
It was the prince’s order, so there was nothing else to say.
Still, I had to say something.
“It doesn’t work though.”
“I will pay for the food. I heard that you like money…”
Elena pulled out a slip from her bosom.
Sian sneaked up and checked the amount written on the slip.
The slip that was confirmed like that was…
A whopping 1 million gold.
As a value equal to 10,000 reputation points.
After the inspection of the mobile lord, it was an amount that could enhance one more perk.
‘crazy.’
Xian murmured involuntarily.
Surely the royal family is the royal family?
Spending money was on a different level.
“Can’t we just stay there for three days?”
Elena’s question continued.
“We will guide you to the best room in Yeongju Castle.”
“thank you.”
Elena smiled and smiled.

When Elena comes out of the lord’s castle.
It came as if Yale had been waiting for it.
Apparently, he was escorting inside the lord’s castle.
However, it seemed that he had not heard the conversation with Xi’an.
Even if it was an escort, it wasn’t like they were eavesdropping on the conversations of the imperial family.
So Elena briefly explained the situation to Yale.
“I decided to stay here for about three days. Are you okay?”
“of course. In fact, His Highness also gave a strict order to hold it for about a week…”
Yale slurred.
Elena nodded slightly.
Apparently, my older brother really liked a man named Xian.
That’s why I had to catch him and marry him.
Somehow, Xian didn’t seem to have any intention of getting married.
As you can see, I didn’t have any girlfriends.
It seemed that I had to attack the other way.
“I’d like to take a look around this estate…”
“I will follow you while keeping my distance.”
Elena moved slowly.
If you look around the territory, you will know what Xian needs.
And I didn’t know if I would change my mind again if I put a condition on it.
To meet each other’s needs.
Because that’s what an arranged marriage is.
From a quick glance earlier, it seemed to be a fairly high level of territory, but…
Still, the imperial family possessed many things.
So Elena walked the streets of Leuven.
and.
“What is this…”
Elena’s thoughts were soon shattered.
First of all, the neatly arranged city scenery in front of Elena’s eyes.
Commerce, agriculture, livestock farming, residential, etc.
The zones were perfectly divided for each purpose.
It was easy to recognize, even for Elena, who was visiting Ruben for the first time, and could tell where it was at a glance.
In fact, I couldn’t help but be surprised when I came earlier.
Compared to what I see now, it was medicine.
It would not be strange at all to call it a truly fantastic city.
“This is a territory located in the dark forest…?”
The capital, Darkan, was not to be pushed.
It wasn’t to this extent even if he pushed into any territory or city in the empire.
furthermore.
“Dwarf…?”
Dwarves were seen on the street.
The impression of being tall and sloppy.
They were undoubtedly dwarves.
Dwarves were synonymous with high knowledge.
It was not called the race of artisans for nothing.
Although it is said that it is much more harmful than before.
It was not to the point of living under one roof with humans like this.
Still, they were forming a closed society within their own tribe.
But now what…
“this. It’s a slingshot my dad made for me. They say you can catch a goblin if you use it well.”
“oh! Let’s go hunting with this! Goblins are still dangerous, so wouldn’t it be possible to catch at least some beasts?”
Children of dwarves and humans.
Aren’t they getting along without hesitation?
“This is what it is…”
mind wandering.
And it was then.
-hey.
hey?
Elena wanted something for a moment.
Yarani.
Are you calling me?
It couldn’t be.
It couldn’t be possible without going crazy.
Above all, it was a word that Elena had never heard in her life.
Who in the world would call the princess “Hey”?
The only possible ones were the emperor, the empress, and the crown prince.
But they also don’t call Elena hey.
I called you by name
Never call Elena ‘hey’.
I must have been wrong.
Elena ignored the sound she heard.
But why?
– What? disregard me?
Something suddenly jumped out of Elena’s field of vision.
It was the figure of a woman.
I felt that something resembled me.
But the long white silver hair and alluring looks
And two gray-white eyes.
Human but not human.
Also, the body looks a little blurry.
people call it
“ghost···?”
It was expressed as …

Shortly after Elena leaves.
Xian checked the letter he received from Elena.
A letter from none other than Arya.
I don’t know why it was delivered through the crown prince.
And I don’t know why you keep sending me letters.
Once it was sent, I had to check it.
Sarak.
“What is so long?”
The content of the letter was quite long.
It starts with your latest status.
The story of what had happened in the meantime was written.
A nobleman who is not very curious.
Xian is like scrolling down the mobile lord.
He looked down and down.
And at the end of the letter, the purpose of this letter was written.
“Demon detector not working?”
It was about the demon detector not working.
“Could it be that something really went wrong?”
Well, it was over a thousand years old, so it was possible.
A magic tool made by Elodie.
It’s been a long time, and wasn’t it an experiment to sell to Arya?
It can be enough-.
“No.”
Xian paused for an instant.
Then I checked the contents of the letter again.
When I thought about it… it was strange.
the contents of this letter.
Arya’s ‘demon detector doesn’t work.’ shouldn’t have said
I couldn’t exactly say that.
The last time Xian taught you how to use it is, ‘When a demon is nearby, the detector rings loudly.’ was
Of course, I added a bit of a lie about mana stones in the process, but anyway.
Apparently when Arya took the Demon Detector.
The detector didn’t seem to work.
That’s why I sent you this letter…
The problem was that it couldn’t be like this.
That would be if the demon detector didn’t work.
The target is not a demon. you should think
The demon detector is broken. shouldn’t have thought
Arya didn’t know anything about the Demon Detector.
That’s what I was thinking though.
That was only on one occasion.
“Are you sure the subject is a demon…?”
Right then.
jump!
“young master. It’s a big deal!”
Suddenly, the door to the office burst open and Hans entered.
It seems that not even knocking is in a hurry…
“Lady Leah and the princess… No, Leah-sama is the princess right now…”
“sh*t.”
Xian heard this far and immediately jumped up from his seat.
“where are you.”
Sian prayed that Leah would not rob Elena just like Aria did.
