Chapter 297

About ten minutes later, Shien left Rosie's room.

Only Rosie, Lia, and Shana were left in the room.

Shana was still quietly standing behind Lia, watching Shien's back as he left.

Rosie and Lia looked at each other in silence. It was only after a while that the silence was broken.

"You've really given him a lot of convenience and benefits," Lia said faintly. Lia then said faintly, "The kingdom is trying so hard to recruit him because of his ability to tame and the battle prowess of that Adol black dragon. But in the end, you actually gave him so much freedom. This way, whether it's the royal family or the nobles, I'm afraid they'll all be pissed to death."

"… Maybe." Luo Qian's expression did not change. She said lightly, "If they have any objections, let them come to me."

"How would they dare?" Lia snapped. "So what if it's a taming master and an almost invincible King of Demons? Can they compare to you, the most precious treasure of the kingdom? "

Her words were crude, but her reasoning was not.

To the kingdom, Rosie was the real treasure. A taming master and an almost invincible King of Demons were certainly tempting, but it depended on who they were compared to.

If it was compared to Rosie, it was nothing.

After all, not only did Rosie have the potential to stand shoulder to shoulder with her ancestors, she also had the Protoss's attention and the support of the people. In terms of importance, she was many times more important than Shien.

Therefore, the kingdom would definitely rather give up on Shien than anger Rosie.

Otherwise, a single word from Rosie would cause a riot among the people, and any noble would not be able to handle it. Even the royal family might be ousted. It was very terrifying.

If not for that, why would so many nobles be willing to be a bootlicker and hope that Rosie would take a second look at him?

The one who gets Rosie can get the world. This saying was completely appropriate here.

"But I don't understand, why do you want to keep him so desperately?"

Lia finally asked the question in her heart.

"…"

Rosie was silent.

Lia continued speaking as if she did not see it.

"He certainly has talents that the royal family values, but with your personality, you wouldn't try so hard to recruit a talent for the sake of the royal family and the kingdom." "I did hear that the neighboring Ragnar Empire and a few other countries have made some moves, but is that the reason for you to do this?" Lia said leisurely, "I did hear that the neighboring Ragnar Empire and a few other countries have made some moves, but is that the reason for you to do this?

That's right, the neighboring Ragnar Empire and a few other countries already knew of Shien's existence, and had some targeted movements against him.

If the kingdom valued Shien so much, the other countries would naturally not be an exception, right?

Regardless of whether it was to snatch away this rare talent or to prevent the kingdom from obtaining such a powerful talent, they more or less took some actions to deal with this matter.

Sean's current importance was completely different from before. Even if he could not be compared to Rosie, he had been elevated to the national level.

The kingdom wanted him to become the second taming master to tame a large number of magical beasts, led by wyverns, for the kingdom to continue to strengthen the kingdom's combat power.

The other countries were already wary of the kingdom's wyvern army, and now that the taming master who could tame wyverns was about to pass away due to old age, they naturally did not want to see the appearance of a second taming master, and even more did not want to see the kingdom become a terrifying country that could even tame dragons.

With Shien's talent, the other countries were also envious, and it was understandable that they would do something about it.

"Especially the Ragnar Empire. It was not easy to deal us a heavy blow ten years ago. This time, seeing that nearly half of the kingdom's knights have been destroyed, they can't be more than happy and ready to make a move. How can they just watch a taming master who can tame dragons join our kingdom?"

At this point, Lia's tone became a little cold.

"They must be mustering up their strength to do something now."

Lia's words made Shana, who was behind her, show a tense expression.

Rosie, on the other hand, was as calm as ever.

She knew what Lia wanted to say.

What Lia wanted to say was actually very simple.

"Are you worried that he will be taken away by the neighboring country?"

Lia looked straight at Rosie.

Rosie was still silent.

Until …

"I just have a hunch." Rosie mumbled as if she was sleep-talking, "If I don't find a way to make him stay, then he will leave."

Lia was speechless for a moment.

This was not something that could be casually heard.

Rosie's hunch was most likely related to the blessing of the Goddess of Destiny.

Since that was the case, this hunch was very likely to come true.

But this also proved a fact.

"Are you really trying so hard to make him stay?" Lia said in disbelief. "Just for a man like this?"

Clearly, Lia did not expect that Shien was so important in Rosie's heart.

Not to mention Lia, even Shana had a look of astonishment on her face.

But how could they understand?

"To a certain extent, he has become an indispensable part of my life."

Rosie thought of the time she spent with Sean, and her grip on the teacup tightened. It was rare for her to speak from the bottom of her heart.

"At least, I don't want to go back to those boring and unchanging days."

Lia and Shana probably wouldn't understand this sentence.

That was because they did not know Rosie's true colors, nor did they know how much pressure and loneliness Rosie had been enduring in the past.

They also did not know how panicked and anxious Rosie was when she had a hunch that Shien would leave.

So, whether it was the interests of the kingdom or the considerations of the royal family or the nobles, it had nothing to do with Rosie.

Rosie only had one thought.

And that was to make Shien stay.

Otherwise, she might not be able to see him anymore.

This was what Rosie was truly afraid of.

"Rosie …"

Lia's gaze towards Rosie had changed.

A thought came to her mind, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Don't tell me that you have feelings for that man …"

Before she could finish her sentence, Lia was stopped by Rosie's gaze.

"Sister Lia, you know that I have no interest in the throne. I will not be the Queen in the future. This kingdom will be yours sooner or later." Rosie said, "I just hope that the royal family will not do anything stupid. I don't want to be your enemy."

Lia couldn't help but swallow a sigh of relief when she heard that.

Shana seemed to have understood something. Her face was filled with shock.

Because this was Rosie's warning.

Rosie was warning Lia and the other members of the royal family not to cause trouble for Shien because of her.

Otherwise, she would not mind doing something overboard.

"… Is he that important to you now?"

Lia's face was filled with disbelief.

Rosie's expression did not change.

"You won't understand."

Her faint words echoed in the room.

"None of you will understand."

The lonely princess's sigh lingered for a long time.

No one could understand the meaning behind it.

…

In the evening, at Lazahad's house.

In the dining room, Shien scratched his head and announced the matter to everyone.

"You … You're going to become a noble …!?" "…"

Vivian, Tierre, Lumia, and Merica all gasped in shock when they heard this.

"Well, it's just an honorary noble in name." Shien laughed dryly and quickly said, "I don't plan to serve in the kingdom. I'll probably continue to be an adventurer in the future."

However, Shien's explanation still could not stop the women from clamoring.

"Isn't this too sudden?" Vivian said in surprise, "Although with your achievements, it's more than enough to be conferred a noble title. But weren't you very resistant to becoming a noble before?"

"… Did something happen?" Tierre seemed to have noticed something. She quietly stared at Shien and said, "Did something make you change your mind?"

Hearing Tierre's words, for some reason, Shien felt a little guilty, as if he had been caught red-handed by his first wife.

… If he told Tierre that he agreed because Rosie was trying her best, would he be chopped into pieces?

While Shien was feeling guilty, Lumia and Merica spoke up.

"That … Does that mean that Mr. Shien will become an honorary viscount soon?"

Lumia asked weakly.

"Then … Will Mr. Shien stay in the royal capital? After all, he has a house here! "

Merica even poked her head out and asked anxiously.

Unfortunately, Shien had never thought about this.

"Even if you ask me that, I still haven't made up my mind." Shien said helplessly, "Before, I wanted to go back to Lamaegion. But now, maybe I'll treat this place as my base?"

Shien did not feel a sense of belonging to Lamaegion.

He had been there for less than a month, so how could he feel a sense of belonging?

It was just that there were too many troublesome matters in the royal capital, and Vivian and the others were expected to return to Lamaegion. That was why he wanted to follow them.

Now that he had a house here, it was only natural for him to treat this place as his base.

(Could this be Her Royal Highness's real goal?)

Shien suddenly had such a feeling.

However, while Shien was thinking about this, Vivian and the others looked at each other.

Tierre and Merica fell silent. No one knew what they were thinking.

Lumia, on the other hand, did not think too much and was still sighing.

Only Vivian smiled at Shien.

"Actually, it's better for you to stay here," Vivian said softly. "After all, Lamaegion is not like the royal capital. Although there are many forces here and things can get complicated, I have to say that there are many opportunities here. For someone who wants to become stronger, there's no better place than the royal capital, which is full of strong people."

"What about you guys?" Shien was a little conflicted. "Do you think I should stay and let you go back to Lamaegion?"

Shien did not want to see this situation.

There was no other reason. They had been together for a long time, and their relationship was not the same as before. Shien really did not want to be separated from Vivian and the others.

Especially Tierre. Shien was starting to like this little girl. He really did not want to be separated from her.

If there was no other way, Shien would still go back with Vivian and the others.

Just then …

"If you want to stay, I will accompany you."

Tierre suddenly opened her mouth and said such a sentence.
