"Ouch!" Ask cried out in pain, "What are you doing!"
"I'm leaving the team and going back to restore my country, and your reaction is so indifferent. So my position in the team is just a tool?" Sheila said angrily.
Normally, she was calm, composed, and wise, and rarely showed such a rude attitude that only little girls can show. However, somehow, when she thought of Ask's indifferent "Oh, I know" before, Sheila was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent.
"How can you be a tool?" Ask quickly said flatteringly, "You are an important arcane mage in our team!"
"That's it?" Sheila got even angrier. This is not the answer I want to hear!!!
"What else?" Ask asked puzzledly.
The price of answering incorrectly this time was being pinched hard by Sheila again.
"Don't pinch me, don't pinch me, let me think about it!" Ask said helplessly, so Sheila put her hands on her hips and sulked.
"Uh..." Ask thought for a long time, "Can you give me some hints?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you?" Sheila was furious. What a memory this guy has!
"What?" Ask was about to cry. How could I remember it without any hint
"I said, after I restore my country, I will let you be my co-emperor!" Sheila said angrily.
Being my co-emperor is the Queen's unique euphemism for "marrying me." Although the original proposal was purely based on the prediction of the future (from Mier) and political considerations (Ask's own strength), after Sheila said this again, she suddenly felt inexplicably shy and timid, and could only turn her head to cover it up.
"Are you serious?" Ask was shocked.
"Yeah." Sheila said in a low voice without looking back.
"Can I ask why?" Ask asked.
Why? Of course it’s because I like you!
Sheila said this subconsciously in her heart, and then she was suddenly startled.
Wait, no way, no way? I, I, I like the leader? When did this happen
Then Sheila began to trace back to the past. Of course, her memory was very good, and she quickly came up with a rough guess.
At first, she had only a little bit of affection for Ask, and they basically maintained a relationship of acquaintance. After all, the leader was strong, responsible and reliable, and he was from Constantinople, so Sheila did not have any ill feelings towards him.
As for why their friendship deteriorated later, it was probably because when they were in Solomon City, because Shira misoperated the force field shield, she was bound by the force field and stuck to Ask for a long time.
From then on, some vague ambiguity and affection emerged from pure friendship. After all, Sheila had never been in love before, and had no experience of being with a strange young man for a long time. It was just that she was proud of having the royal blood of the Eastern Solomon Empire, so she subconsciously buried this ambiguous feeling deep in her heart.
Are you kidding me? I am the emperor of the Eastern Solomonic Empire. How could I possibly fall in love with a mercenary? Well, the Achilles family is also a noble family in Constantinople. In the past, they were not worthy of the royal family because of their decline. However, now that the imperial capital has fallen, the royal power has also greatly weakened. Therefore, the two of them are now of equal status and can be a good match...
