"No!"
Meg and Crassus rose to their feet almost in unison, and both of them were appraising Yuri with a dangerous look in their eyes.
Yuri immediately felt a chill run down his spine, and reflexively took a couple of steps back. These two looked so terrifying, even more so than Irina.
"Hmm?"
All of the officials also turned to look at Amy, who was in Meg's arms, with contemplative looks on their faces. This little girl was still very young, but with her insane aptitude, she was destined to become one of the most powerful beings on the Norland Continent in the future.
Furthermore, she was already so adorable and exquisite at this age, and she was definitely going to be a great beauty when she grew up. The third prince didn't appear to be very bright, but it appeared that he was very smart.
However, she was a half-elf, after all. The biggest question was whether the king would agree to let the third prince take a half-elf as his wife.
Of course, it appeared that Meg and Crassus weren't going to let this go.
Meg could be ignored, but Crassus' identity couldn't be ignored. Even though it was said that he had already left the Magus Tower and was going to settle down in Chaos City, he didn't say that he was going to leave the Roth Empire.
If he didn't want to betroth his disciple to the third prince, then even the king would have to carefully consider the pros and cons.
"Is that not a good thing? This big head dares to set his sights on Amy; he should be chopped up and thrown into the moat to feed the fishes. " Meg glowered at Yuri with a cold expression. No one in this world could take Amy away from him. Otherwise, they would all die.
Crassus was also glaring at Yuri with a cold expression. How dare you set your sights on my disciple? Do you think you're worthy of my disciple? Is there anyone in this world who's worthy of my disciple?
Why are you being so mean? I'm just worried that Big Sister Irina wants me to marry her daughter, so I'm just trying to find some idiot. This little idiot is a little dumb, but she's still quite pleasing to the eye, Yuri thought to himself as he looked at the menacing Meg and Crassus.
"Could it be that this brat took what I said back then for real? How does he know that Amy is my daughter? "Irina looked at Yuri with a perplexed expression.
The hall fell into an eerie silence. Meg, who was carrying Amy, and Crassus, who was holding a magic caster's staff, were facing off against Yuri, who had a panicked expression on his face.
"Father, does Mushroom Head want me to marry him?" Amy asked innocently as she looked up at Meg.
Urey's eyes lit up. If the little fool agreed, it would be useless even if the big fool and the scary Grandpa Crassus disagreed.
"Yes." Meg looked at Amy and nodded with a slightly complicated expression. He was just about to instill in her some thoughts of resisting arranged marriages and puppy love.
Amy was already looking at Yuri with a serious expression as she said, "I don't think I'm worthy of your big head. Besides, I can open my own umbrella when I go out."
"Puchi …"
The hall fell silent for a while before someone finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"My God, this little girl is way too adorable!"
"She has such a venomous mouth, but she's still so adorable."
"Could it be that His Highness' head is already strong enough to shelter someone from the wind and rain?"
A joyous atmosphere began to spread throughout the hall, especially at the sight of Amy's serious expression. She was clearly saying such hurtful words, but it made him feel as if he was the one holding her in his arms. This was a very interesting feeling.
"I … I …" Yuri's mouth also gaped open as he looked at Amy and rubbed his own head. It was indeed a little big, but he still had to open an umbrella when it rained!
"I didn't think that even a prodigy like me would be rejected." Yuri shook his head in disappointment at the sight of Amy's serious expression. It wasn't that he felt sorry for Amy, but rather that there were still people in this world who couldn't see his talent and only saw his head.
"Is there anything wrong with having a big head? Is that something I can decide? I … "Yuri sighed. He still felt a little dejected from being rejected.
"You really are my daughter." Irina nodded in satisfaction.
"As expected of my daughter." Meg was suddenly very gratified as he patted Amy's head with a smile. As long as Amy didn't agree, then everything would be easy to handle.
"I'm going to marry Father. Father is the best," Amy whispered into Meg's ear.
"Little girl." Meg's heart was filled with warmth. She was still young, so she didn't know anything about marriage or love. However, she knew who was the best for her, and she wanted to stay by his side for the rest of her life. This feeling of being trusted and relied on touched the softest part of his heart.
In the face of three consecutive rejections, everyone turned their attention back to the king. The final outcome of this matter still depended on the king's decision.
Meg looked into the king's eyes with a determined expression. "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness, but my daughter is not even four years old yet. She's still at the age where she's just learning how to speak and how to walk, so she's not suitable to talk about marriage."
"Yiyayiyaya …" Amy blinked her eyes before singing a line in her baby voice.
Crassus also chimed in with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, this disciple of mine has only just started learning magic from me. She won't be able to become a master for at least eight to 10 years, so she doesn't have the time to play woodcarving with the third prince."
The king looked at Meg and Crassus before turning to Yuri. "Yuri, do you really like this little girl?"
Yuri crossed his arms in front of his chest with a proud expression. "I don't like her anymore. I only like people who like me, and those who don't like me don't deserve to be liked by me.
"Unless she also likes me," he added.
"How could there be an idiot like that?" Amy asked with a curious expression.
Yuri was immediately dejected as he turned to the king in a dejected manner. "Father, I don't want this reward. I'll ask you for it next time when I think of something."
A hint of disappointment flashed through the king's eyes, but he still nodded in the end. "Alright, in that case, I'll give you anything you want."
Josh and Sean both heaved a sigh of relief in unison, and their wariness toward Yuri was also significantly reduced. An idiot was still an idiot, after all; he couldn't even grasp the opportunity presented to him.
"Master Crassus, Mr. Meg, please take a seat. Please don't take Yuri's rudeness to heart." The king gestured for Crassus and Meg to take a seat before smiling as he said, "If Mr. Meg is willing, you can open a restaurant in Rodu. Master Crassus' original magic lab is in the Magus Tower, so he'll be able to teach better."
