The palace hall.
The fifty-meter-long table was filled with a wide variety of food. Looking at the countless delicacies, the naval soldiers swallowed their saliva frantically, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts at the wealth of the royal aristocracy.
At the two ends of the long table, Vivian and Neptune sat facing each other, while the three princes, Fujitora, Jinbe, Domino, Airi and others were all on both sides, with plates placed in front of them, ready to start eating at the command of Vivian or Neptune.
"Please wait a moment. My daughter Shirahoshi is still dressing up in the room. She will be here soon." Neptune said.
"Do you need to dress up for a meal?"
A navy soldier murmured in confusion.
Vivian also frowned at this moment and glanced at the atmosphere at the scene, always feeling that something was not right.
Similarly, Domino was holding a knife and fork in both hands, looking at Neptune and Vivian fiercely. If Ellie hadn't been holding her aside, and this was on someone else's territory, she would have suddenly jumped up and stuck a fork into Neptune's head.
It has to be said that since following Vivian, Domino's yandere personality has really improved a little. If it were in the past, she wouldn't care where this place was or whether the person on the other side was the king of Fishman Island.
"I trust Vivian."
Domino's teeth were creaking. "But if he dares to agree, I will kill him with a knife."
As he spoke, his hand also rested on the hilt of the saber at his waist.
Ai Li: “…”
"Princess Shirahoshi is here!"
A guard shouted.
As expected, the next second, Bai Xing, wearing a turquoise dress, suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
To be honest, Shirahoshi is really beautiful. Her facial features are exquisite. Even though she is only sixteen years old, her figure is already eye-catching enough. Maybe it's because the dress is too tight, Vivian even vaguely feels that the dress will be burst at any time.
Of course, it seemed that it was because it was her first time wearing such a formal dress, so Shirahoshi felt a little uneasy when swimming, and the expression on her face looked extremely awkward.
"Father...Father." Shirahoshi stepped forward and looked at Neptune with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Shirahoshi, come on, come and sit over here."
Neptune smiled and helped his daughter pull the stool away. After Shirahoshi sat down, he greeted everyone and said, "Now that everyone is here, before we eat, I have something to discuss with General Vivian..."
"What is it?"
Vivian put down the kaizen in her hand and said.
He wanted to have a meal on Fishman Island, but there were so many rules.
However, just as he turned his attention to Neptune, wanting to hear what he wanted to say next, Neptune suddenly grabbed Shirahoshi's hand, looked at Vivian and said, "General Vivian, my daughter Shirahoshi will be an adult next year. I want to marry her to you. What do you think?"
The words fell.
Marines: =͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(●⁰ꈊ⁰●|||)
Vivian: ∑(O_O;)
"Clam?!"
"Father?"
Two of Shirahoshi's brothers immediately turned their heads to look at Neptune with extremely surprised eyes, but the eldest prince, Shark Star, seemed to have known about this for a long time, and just silently gulped down beer.
"Father..."
The people who were also hearing the news for the first time were also stunned. Looking at their father's eyes that didn't seem to be joking, Bai Xing immediately panicked. He clenched his fists tightly, then turned his head and looked at Vivian with a very nervous look.
Vivian: “…”
no..
What should I answer
A sixteen-year-old girl is engaged to me
Isn’t this bullshit
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Vivian was just organizing the words of refusal in her mind, and the next second, the options immediately appeared in front of her:
Option 1: Accept King Neptune's proposal and get engaged to Princess Shirahoshi directly. (Completion reward: Random plane combat skill x1)
Option 2: Reject directly and wish the other party to find a boy that he or she really likes in the future. (Completion reward: Random plane auxiliary skill x1)
Option 3: Using Shirahoshi's young age as an excuse, suggest waiting until he reaches adulthood and then making a decision based on his own wishes. (Completion reward: random basic attribute +1)
Vivian: “…”
He stretched out his hand, and like a magic trick, he conjured up a cigar out of thin air and put it in his mouth. He lit it with his fingers, then took a deep breath and looked at Neptune and Shirahoshi and said, "I think I understand what you mean... Do you want to promote the relationship between the two tribes by having Shirahoshi and I marry?"
By then, with a naval admiral as his son-in-law, anyone who wants to touch Fishman Island will have to think twice.
I'm afraid that unless they are at the level of the Four Emperors, ordinary pirates will be timid when they come here. After all, if they cause any trouble, what awaits them will be the revenge of the admirals of the navy.
Similarly, Neptune sighed awkwardly and forced a smile as Vivian saw through his thoughts.
no way..
Not only was it for Princess Otohime's last wish, it was also the only way he could think of to protect Shirahoshi.
Especially after knowing that Shirahoshi is the "Sea King", one of the ancient weapons...
Apart from a guy like Vivian who is both just and possesses strength and power, he is naturally the best candidate.
What's more, Vivian is quite handsome, and being with such a young and promising man can be considered a perfect match.
Seeing that Neptune was still looking at her expectantly, Vivian thought for a moment and chose the third option. She said directly, "I'm sorry...don't you think that Princess Shirahoshi is a little too young? She may not even understand what true love is."
"So what do you mean?"
Neptune scratched his head, feeling a little disappointed, thinking that Vivian would choose to refuse, but he heard Vivian continue: "Wait a year. After a year, when Princess Shirahoshi comes of age, I will ask her what she thinks. If she is willing to marry me by then, it won't be too late for me to get engaged to her then, don't you think?"
Finished speaking.
Neptune and Shirahoshi looked at each other.
However, at this moment, Domino, who had been sitting in his seat and trying not to speak, suddenly stood up, drew the saber from his waist, and slashed at Vivian's head in mid-air.
“Vivian!
!”
The shrill roar filled the entire hall of Dragon Palace City.
Vivian：∑(っ°Д°;)っ
