Chapter 412

In fact, An Xi had rather complicated feelings toward Shien.

Although he couldn't sense Shien's capabilities like Alidia, An Xi was still rather satisfied with Shien's abilities even though it was only what he showed on the surface.

If that wasn't the case, why would An Xi spend so much effort to recruit Shien and make Shien a noble of the kingdom?

It was all because he valued Shien's abilities.

However, An Xi was more or less upset that Shien was so close to his precious daughter.

It wasn't that Shien did anything wrong, but Rosie's performance had always been too outstanding and transcendent, which made An Xi feel that no man in this world could catch his daughter's attention.

Including Ancey and Lia, as long as they truly experienced Rosie's excellence and knew her perfection, they would subconsciously feel that there was no one in this world who was worthy of Rosie.

Therefore, when the people of the kingdom saw that Rosie was indifferent to the opposite sex around her and kept a distance from them, not giving any chance to the opposite sex, they basically felt that it was normal.

Although it wasn't a good thing for a princess of the royal family.

After all, the greatest responsibility of a royal princess was probably to arrange marriages.

As a princess, Rosie's way of doing things was not appropriate.

However, no one would make things difficult for her because of this, and no one would force her because of it.

Rosie wasn't an ordinary princess, but one who was destined to rise above everyone else and catch up to the footsteps of the Heroes of the past, becoming the strongest of the human race.

Her future was no longer just to live as a princess, but to be nurtured as a reserve Hero and become the trump card of the human race and the human world.

With her, the human race might be able to occupy an advantageous position in dealing with the powerful Demons that they didn't have in the past.

The Heroes were the natural enemies of the Demons and the bane of the Demons. If a Hero could be nurtured, it would be a great blessing for the human race.

Under such circumstances, everyone turned a blind eye to Rosie's selfishness. Even if Rosie didn't choose a husband in the future, people might feel it was a pity, but most of them would feel that it was only natural, right?

To sum it up, people felt that there was no man in this world who could catch Rosie's attention and be worthy of her.

Since that was the case, people were more willing to see Rosie, a perfect goddess, remain single for the rest of her life than to let an unqualified husband like her.

This was probably the same as the so-called fans and die-hard supporters who hoped that their goddesses could remain single for the rest of their lives.

It was the same for An Xi.

Therefore, compared to ordinary fathers who looked forward to marrying their daughters to a good man, An Xi also subconsciously felt that his daughter would remain single.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen today, causing his daughter to have no choice but to be married off?

Compared to the heroes of the world, his daughter had a whole new level of respect for this viscount with an unstable temperament.

Therefore, before this, An Xi had thought that his daughter might have been abducted.

And now, that person had directly become his daughter's first priority candidate for her husband, proving that his daughter had a whole new level of respect for him.

No, it wasn't just a whole new level of respect.

Leah had also mentioned that Rosie could make all the decisions in the selection of the son-in-law. She could grade everyone to her heart's content and eliminate those she was dissatisfied with. The full score was a hundred, and only those who scored fifty and above would have a chance to compete.

Under such circumstances, Rosie had already graded each of the suitors. Although the scores were not made public, more than ninety percent of the suitors had been directly eliminated with low scores. They did not even have a chance to compete, and could only put on a stage performance in Rosie's public appearances every day, doing their best to show off, hoping that Rosie would take a second look at them and give them a better evaluation.

The remaining less than ten percent were basically famous young talents. But An Xi, as the king and Rosie's father, had naturally seen the scores of those young talents.

In the end, none of those so-called young talents had scored more than sixty points.

Only Shien had scored a full score, a hundred.

Yes.

Rosie did not hesitate to give Shien a full score.

Moreover, if not for the fact that she had to keep up the act, Rosie would have given the rest zero points.

Those who scored more than fifty points were basically just for show, to tell others that there would still be competition in the selection of the son-in-law.

Otherwise, if only Shien got a high score, and the rest got zero points, it would be clearly telling everyone that she, Rosie, only wanted Shien.

In order not to expose herself, Rosie deliberately gave some of the more outstanding people a chance to compete, but refused to give them a high score. In the end, although those people had scored more than fifty points, not a single one had scored more than sixty points.

Such a clear indication was basically pointing at An Xi's nose, telling An Xi that Rosie had already decided on Shien.

Therefore, An Xi knew that this newly promoted viscount, who was suspected to have dealings with demons and had tamed an invincible King of Demons, was most likely going to be his son-in-law.

Understanding this, An Xi wanted to meet Shien.

"You also know that Rosie's status is very special. She doesn't want to be close to anyone of the opposite sex and live with others."

"... That's because she's worried that her true colors will be exposed, right?"

"Don't be fooled by Rosie's appearance. She's actually very reclusive. Usually, if there's nothing urgent, she'll stay in her room alone, even after finishing her work."

"... That's because she wants to hide in her room and roll around, right?"

"Rosie doesn't have any hobbies or interests. Apart from drawing occasionally, we've never seen her ask for anything."

"... That's because she doesn't want you to know that she likes to eat desserts and fancy meals outside, right?"

"My daughter is very outstanding, but she's always very obedient. Until now, I still can't believe that there was such a sudden revelation that Rosie had to get married."

"... That's because she's in a hurry to get married."

An Xi seemed to want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Shien. With a sorrowful expression, he kept talking about Rosie, but he didn't notice that the corner of Shien's mouth was twitching, and he kept whispering to reveal some truths that must never be known by others.

An Xi, who didn't know any of this, kept talking to himself.

"This must be a very difficult thing for you, right?" An Xi comforted him, "Now that you're already the first priority candidate for this son-in-law selection, many people are probably thinking about how to defeat you, embarrass you, and lower Rosie's evaluation of you so that they can replace you."

"But I know that Rosie actually has a good impression of you. Even if you're defeated, she probably won't lower her evaluation of you, right?" An Xi was half-amused and half-sighed, "I can understand what Rosie is thinking now. She must think that if she has to find someone to spend the rest of her life with, that person must be you, who is the closest to her."

"No, you're wrong, Your Majesty.

That fish-catching princess just wants to get rid of the current environment and live a salted fish life. She's not as great and sacrificial as you think. "

Shien found that he couldn't stop complaining.

If it weren't for the fact that he was worried that these people, who had been completely deceived by Rosie and had almost become her die-hard fan, would be disillusioned and even have their worldview shattered, Shien really wanted to tell An Xi that his daughter was very bad.

Of course, if Shien really told him Rosie's true colors, An Xi would never choose to believe him. He would only think that he was slandering Rosie and would never treat him nicely again.

(No matter in which world, a drama queen is the most popular.)

Shien looked up at the sky speechlessly.

At this time, An Xi finally revealed the real purpose of his visit.

"The reason I called you here this time is actually to ask you one thing." An Xi looked at Shien and said seriously, "If we want to put Rosie on the throne and make her a queen, do you agree or disagree?"

This sentence stunned Shien at first, but then he finally understood.

(So, Your Majesty is worried that I will affect Rosie's future?)

This was indeed something that had to be solved.

After all, once Rosie ascended the throne and became the queen of the Mithra Kingdom, then as the queen's husband, Shien's status in the kingdom would truly be above one person and below tens of thousands of people.

This also meant that Shien's power and status in the kingdom would be second only to the queen's.

However, Shien had just become a noble and had just joined the noble circle in the kingdom. If he were to climb to such a high position so quickly, it was easy to imagine how worried others would be.

An Xi was worried that Shien would be blinded by power and influence, which would affect Rosie's succession to the throne and becoming the queen.

An Xi was even worried that Shien would ask Rosie to pass the throne to him.

As the husband of the royal family, as long as he married Rosie, when the time came, Shien would also have the right to inherit the throne.

Although the right to inherit the throne was not high, usually only when there was only one daughter left in the royal family, the only daughter's husband could replace her and ascend the throne. However, with Rosie's special status and ability, if she wanted to support her husband to ascend the throne and become the queen, there was a high chance that she would succeed.

It was because of this that people like Limjow wanted to get close to Rosie, right?

It was not only because of Rosie's appearance, but also because they wanted to use Rosie's influence and voice to ascend to the top of the kingdom.

An Xi had taken this into consideration, which was why he had wanted to test Sean.

In response, Shien calmed down.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

At that moment, Sean did not hesitate to say something.

"Rosie will not want to inherit the throne."

"I, even more so."
