"Your Highness is truly amazing. I never thought that the layers of obstacles that Shen Xiang set up to avoid disaster actually had so many flaws... However, Your Highness should also know that since Shen Xiang entered the East Continent, he has never had any bad intentions towards the Kingdom of Yaen, nor has he done anything that is detrimental to the Kingdom of Yaen... I don't think Your Highness would have any objections, right?"
Although I knew that it would not be Princess Mariette who found out these doubts, after some thought, I put all the blame on her. And in the process of exonerating myself, I turned around a few times, stood in front of the princess with a purpose, and reached out to hold her hands. In my heart, I was also praying for this handshake that would determine my success or failure.
"You... let go..." Marit, whose hands were suddenly held, jumped as if she had received an electric shock, and then tried to pull her hands back. But the force made me make a big V in my heart.
"Princess, if...if I give up everything I have, bring my warriors, my wealth, my talents in magic equipment and conventional weapons, and my mind that sees war as a game...to join the Kingdom of Yann...do you think His Majesty will agree?" Gently pulling Mariette in front of me, I tilted my head slightly and whispered a series of ifs in Princess Mariette's ear. At the same time, I could feel Mariette's slightly trembling body, which became even more delicate under my comfort.
"I... I... His Majesty said that as long as you can join the Kingdom of Yan and swear and prove your loyalty and never betray, then everything before can be settled..." Marit, whose whole body was burning with heat, had completely lost herself at this moment. She told everything except the part that was most difficult for her to talk about.
"Yes... I can show my loyalty... Those magic cannons... Those ultra-long-range crossbows... There are countless magic equipment, super tanks, they will become the standard equipment of the Kingdom of Yan... The Legion of God will stand at the forefront of the Kingdom of Yan's defense line... And the two of us will witness the glorious future of the Kingdom of Yan together..." I have already understood the true meaning of it. While making a lot of promises, I used the knowledge I learned on the ******* website and verified on Iya to reproduce them one by one on Marit. After quickly removing the last line of defense on Marit, the only feeling that flashed through my mind was that those well-educated girls who are just beginning to fall in love are too easy to get along with... . . . . .
*************************************************** *****************************
When Princess Marit and I walked out of the military tent, many officers who were supposed to be preparing for the banquet surrounded the entire tent. In addition to the soldiers of the God's Legion, even the officials brought by Victor and Princess Marit stood there nervously.
Among them, my subordinates were fully prepared for both situations, while Victor and the others were wondering if there was anything special besides the commendations issued in the afternoon. In particular, my appointment by the superiors involved their future.
The most terrified were undoubtedly the officers brought by Princess Mariette. They were not very clear about the mission they were carrying out, but in their eyes, saving the princess' life from the hands of the princess and the commander of the God's Legion, who was known as the God of War, was undoubtedly as difficult as snatching life from the hands of the God of Death. Therefore, when the princess and I appeared outside the tent, some of them even sat down on the ground and refused to get up for a long time.
"Aren't you tired standing here, soldiers? The banquet to reward the three armies should start now! Let's have a drink to celebrate the bright future of our Yan Kingdom..." Looking at the countless soldiers around, the beautiful Princess Mariette, who had experienced the love affair, drove them away calmly. Soon, Victor and the soldiers of the Royal Guards dispersed towards the martial arts field, leaving only a group of soldiers from the God's Legion.
"From now on, Princess Mariette's words also represent my orders! Everyone must remember that there must be no violation..." He placed one hand on Princess Mariette's hand and announced his orders. Before this, only Yiya and Shen Xiang had this power. Of course, although this power has now been granted to Princess Mariette on the surface, in fact, it is definitely not that simple to truly obtain this power.
"We will obey your orders, sir!" Almost at the same time as I finished speaking, tens of thousands of soldiers present drew their weapons in an instant, thrust the blades into the ground in front of them, knelt on one knee and saluted Princess Marit, and then evacuated in an orderly manner except for the soldiers on duty.
"Yiya...ah!" Suddenly, Princess Marit, who found Yiya among the retreating troops, let out a low cry, took a step forward, but stopped with a frown. However, her action immediately caught the attention of Yiya who was turning to leave.
"I wonder if your Highness the Princess has any instructions?" With a little jealousy and vigilance, Yiya paused for a moment, then turned around and walked back helplessly and aggrieved.
"I wonder if Sister Yiya can accompany me tonight... Although I know you must be unhappy..." Walking to Yiya, Marit held her hand and said something that I found incredible. Although I knew that Queen Yann valued me and Princess Marit was very attached to me, I never dared to believe that Princess Marit would lower herself to such a low level. But after seeing Yiya's expression, I knew what I should say.
"Yiya, there probably won't be any war these days, so you should just accompany the princess for a few days!"
"...I...I understand!" After a slight hesitation and a sidelong glance at me, Yiya finally agreed to my suggestion.
At that moment, I immediately took Princess Mariette and Iya to the martial arts arena. After all, without the princess present to preside over the event, the so-called reward for the troops would be half meaningless.
What surprised me was that the two women became as close as sisters after a brief conversation on this not-so-long journey.
But what made me feel even more helpless and frustrated today was that when Princess Mariette, I and Yiya came to the martial arts arena, a palace official brought by Princess Mariette immediately took out a notice from the Queen. The only news was that my wedding with Princess Mariette would be held as soon as the orcs were rejected from the country, and I would also be conferred the title of Prince of Magic and Martial Arts. Only then did I realize that everything I had was calculated by others. In the past, I thought I was smart, but in the end, it was just a joke... (To be continued)
