Chapter 443

Early in the morning, on behalf of Rosie and the entire kingdom, the royal palace released a message to the entire world.

That was, Rosie had decided to end this Son-In-Law Selection Meeting, which was not too short, but definitely not too long either.

"After careful consideration, Her Royal Highness Rosie has decided to marry Viscount Pottut."

"From today onwards, Viscount Pottut will become Her Royal Highness Rosie's fiancé. An engagement banquet will be held three days later, and nobles from all over the world will be invited."

"In view of Viscount Pottut's outstanding performance, His Majesty will promote him on the day of the engagement banquet."

When this news spread throughout the entire royal capital, the commotion it caused was no less than the series of events caused by the Liusica Family.

"So it's like this …"

Some of the more intelligent people had already guessed this result, and they all sighed silently in their hearts.

"No! This is impossible! "

Most of the nobles could not believe this news at all.

"It's actually decided just like that?"

"Isn't … isn't this a little too fast?"

"Your Royal Highness …"

Even the common people of the royal capital could not digest this shocking news immediately. They only felt that it was too surreal.

Because of this, on this day, the island in the middle of the lake was once again filled with all kinds of people. Large groups of people from the royal capital gathered in front of the royal palace, causing a huge commotion.

Everyone hoped to confirm the authenticity of this news.

Many people still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that it was just a rumor.

Therefore, they needed the kingdom's statement, and they needed the royal family's statement, before they were willing to admit everything.

But in the end, the person who appeared in front of everyone was not a high-ranking official of the kingdom, nor was it the king of the Anxi Kingdom. Instead, it was Rosie, who usually only appeared during the noon ceremony.

Yes.

Rosie personally appeared.

Moreover, Rosie had personally admitted this matter.

"Viscount Pottut is a very outstanding person."

"Even I have feelings of admiration for outstanding heroes."

"Therefore, I hope that everyone can support us and acknowledge us. That would be the greatest blessing to us."

Rosie threw down these words, then turned around and returned to the royal palace, ignoring everyone who was stunned on the spot.

He could basically foresee what would happen next.

Those who accepted their fate had already accepted their fate.

Those who were dissatisfied were destined to make a fuss.

Some people agreed, some rejected, some were calm, and some were excited. Basically, there were all kinds of reactions.

Under such circumstances, the news of Shien being promoted to Earl seemed rather indifferent, and no one actually asked about it.

One had to know that this would definitely be a hot topic during normal times.

As for the reason, as mentioned earlier, it was because although there was only a difference of one title between a count and a viscount, their statuses were completely different.

Barons and viscounts were at the bottom of the noble class. They were minor nobles in name and reality. They were given to adventurers and ordinary citizens who had made great contributions. This was the meaning of their existence.

Earl was a different story.

Marquises and Earls were the upper echelons of the noble class. They were truly superior nobles.

Once one became an Earl, it meant that the entire family had contributed enough to the kingdom, received the kingdom's recognition, and truly entered the upper echelons of the kingdom.

At this level, they were qualified to be the vassals of many Barons and Viscounts, to become the suzerain of a faction, to start forming cliques, to form a circle of nobles, to form a force.

Only at this level could they enter the decision-making circle of the kingdom, aim to become the center of power, and become an existence that could decide the future of the kingdom.

At the very least, the barons and viscounts could not enter and leave the palace at will, nor could they attend some big occasions, such as when Sean first met them. Only the Imperial Knights and nobles above the count rank could appear in the King's Hall.

Therefore, in the circle of nobles, the difference between Earl and Viscount was like heaven and earth, bigger than the difference between a Duke and an Earl.

This was a dividing line.

Only by crossing this dividing line could one stand out and bring honor to one's ancestors. Only then could one's family leave their name in the history of the kingdom and continue to exist as a big family.

Because of this, normal Barons and Viscounts had to spend decades or even hundreds of years to accumulate fame, wealth, connections, and achievements. Through continuous contributions to the kingdom, they could finally be promoted to Earl and become a Superior Noble.

Shien only spent a few months to go from an adventurer to a Superior Noble like an Earl. This was unprecedented in the history of the kingdom.

If such a thing happened, it was easy to imagine how heated the discussion would be.

But now, because of Shien and Rosie's engagement, this matter was covered up. This showed Rosie's position in the hearts of the people of the kingdom and how big the impact of this matter was.

In short, the Imperial City was once again in a state of unrest.

…

Unlike the noisy Imperial City, the atmosphere in Borztutt's house was completely different.

"Congratulations on officially becoming Her Highness Rosie's husband, Shien."

Vivian congratulated Shien with pride.

"Congratulations."

Tierre said faintly.

"Re … Congratulations, Mr. Shien."

Lumia quickly congratulated him as well.

"Re … Congratulations …"

Melica looked a little reluctant, but she still congratulated Shien with a pout.

"" Congratulations, Lord Sean! "" Congratulations! "" Congratulations! "

All the maids and servants in the house were lined up in two neat rows, bowing to Shien while cheering in unison.

"Thank … Thank you …"

Sean laughed dryly. He didn't know if he was not used to it, or if he felt unnatural, but he had been scratching his face since the beginning.

"Hmph."

Beside him, Ai Yi, who had either just woken up or was dragged over, was present. However, unlike the others, she did not congratulate him. Instead, she looked unhappy.

“？”

Lilith tilted her head, looking puzzled as if she did not know what was going on.

Lésia and La Xia were there as well.

"Congratulations, Mr. Shien."

La Xia's tone was even colder than Tierre's.

"I have to congratulate you as well. You've successfully become the public enemy of all the men of the human race."

Lésia mocked. She kept nudging Shien's abdomen with her elbow, making Shien want to punch her.

The girls who were staying in Porztutt's house had all arrived.

Their purpose was to congratulate Shien.

This was indeed something worth celebrating.

"I'm sure the people in Lamigione were shocked when they received the news," Tierre said, not knowing what she was feeling. "Who would've thought that the new adventurer who was only level 10 would become a count in just a few months and be betrothed to the most precious treasure of the kingdom?" Tierre said with an indescribable emotion.

Wasn't that right?

"I don't know about the others, but Lily must have been shocked," Vivian said with a bitter smile. Vivian smiled bitterly. "I've just received her letter, and it's filled with questions about this matter. Even from reading between the lines, I can tell that she's still skeptical about this matter."

In fact, it was not just Lily. Vivian had also received letters from Baylon and the others.

Those who had come to the royal capital with Shien and the others could not believe that in just a few months, the adventurer Shien had become the husband of the most popular princess in the kingdom. It was too magical.

"I … I heard that Mr. Lyon has been telling others that he's very envious of Mr. Shien …"

Lumia said weakly.

"… My elven friends in Lamigione are also asking me about this."

Melica was still throwing a tantrum.

All in all, the news of Shien and Rosie's engagement had caught everyone off guard.

Many people suddenly realized that this time, the most precious treasure of the kingdom was really going to be married, and to an adventurer who had not been famous before.

What could Shien say?

Could he say that he had not expected this?

"At first, I really didn't plan to do this."

Shien explained weakly.

Perhaps he and Rosie had developed quickly, but at first, he really did not plan to provoke the princess.

Who was he?

The one who was most afraid of trouble was Shien!

For someone like Shien, he could not wait to stay away from Rosie. Why would he have any ideas about her?

That was why Shien wanted to say.

"It was just an accident."

These words sounded very much like a scumbag.

The girls naturally did not believe it.

"Who are you trying to fool?" Lésia rolled her eyes and said, "Ever since you came to the capital, I have been secretly watching you. I saw you go to the princess' room every two or three days with my own eyes, and you still say it was an accident?"

That was forced by that boring Princess Royal Highness!

She is afraid of being alone, afraid of loneliness, and showing her true colors in front of me, that is why she clung to me and asked me to play with her!

That was what Shien wanted to shout.

But at this moment, La Xia spoke.

"According to the investigation, in the 116 days since he came to the capital, Mr. Shien went to the dessert shop of the Lilith family for a total of 88 days, and bought a total of 1357 gold coins worth of desserts there." La Xia said expressionlessly, "Among them, the desserts worth 774 gold coins ended up in Her Highness Rosie's room, and all the dessert boxes appeared in the garbage disposal area of Her Highness' bedroom."

There was no need to say more about what this meant.

Although Shien really wanted to say that it was also forced by that boring princess.

However, compared to this matter, Shien couldn't help but complain about another matter.

"Where did you learn about these things?"

Could it be that it was all investigated?

Heavens, this maid was as terrifying as ever.

Shien had completely forgotten that Rosie was not the only one who was crying piteously for food.

There was another person at the scene.

"A total of 1357 gold coins worth of desserts, you actually gave most of them to that kingdom's treasure, and I didn't even get half of them?"

Ai Yi suddenly turned her head and stared at Shien, her eyes overflowing with killing intent.

Obviously, the dissatisfaction in His Highness Dragon Demon's heart had erupted.

Why does that princess have so much, but I don't even have half of it?

How can I, Ai Yi, not compare to that princess?

In terms of strength, she has a limitless future, but at the moment, I am still stronger.

In terms of looks, she is number one in the Human Clan, but she also has the ability to fight for the title of number one in the Demons, right?

In terms of figure … Alright, I'm not as tall as that princess, but I'm bigger than her!

In summary, why is it that I'm not as good as that princess?

His Highness Dragon Demon expressed his dissatisfaction.

"You want to compete with this?"

Seeing the killing intent in Ai Yi's eyes, the corner of Shien's mouth twitched.

This girl seemed to have accumulated too many emotions recently, making Shien feel a little dangerous.

Can't you learn from Lilith? Even now, you still have a tilted head and don't know what's going on, but you still stick to me, hug my thigh, and don't want to leave me.

My head hurts!

It seemed that he had to find a time to coax this little girl, in case she went berserk.

Once this Devil Cultivator went berserk, other than Lilith, no one here would be able to stop her, including himself.

After taking note of this matter, Sean hurriedly made a statement.

"It's just an engagement. It's still too early to be officially married. Don't congratulate me too quickly."

The engagement of the royal family was something that everyone would have. Rosie had only received this treatment a little late.

There were many princesses who were born in the royal family and had been engaged since they were young. After they were engaged, it was common for them to cancel their engagement because of one thing or another.

For example, due to the destruction of the Liusica family, her engagement with Adair had been officially annulled.

Therefore, an engagement was only an engagement, and not an official marriage. Everything was still too early to say.

It was only when they got married that everything was set in stone.

After all, in this world, there was no such thing as divorce. Basically, once they got married, it was impossible for them to go back on their word for the rest of their lives.

Of course, there was no divorce, but there were quite a lot of separation.

Therefore, unless it was an official marriage, a marriage contract didn't mean anything.

Although …

"... Is it really too early for me to get married?"

Shien seriously doubted this.

Seeing Rosie's enthusiasm, Shien always felt that if he went out for a while like last time, when he came back, he would be forced to attend the wedding. He would end the wedding with Rosie in a daze and become a married man.

Having a princess in the family who hated marrying him off was really a little unbearable.

How was this the most beautiful woman in the human race? It was clearly the most beautiful woman in the human race who hated marrying her daughter off!

After thinking about it for a while, Sean felt that he was in a bad mood.

It wasn't that he was against marrying Rosie, but she had to give him time to react, right?

Shien really wanted to say that he had just gone out for a while and had just come back!

How did he suddenly get involved in such a big event?

How melancholic!
