Chapter 444

Unfortunately, no matter how depressed Shien was, he couldn't reject the engagement, and he didn't want to reject it either.

Thanks to this, the capital city had been bustling with noise and excitement for the past three days.

Although there were indeed some people who were unable to accept this and did some foolish things, such as forming groups of people to protest, or some young masters who did not care about their lives secretly sneaking into Porztutt's house with the intention of doing something sneaky, in the end, the consequences that awaited these people were usually very tragic.

Needless to say, the families who didn't want to follow in Liusica's footsteps didn't want to take them back. Therefore, they either became desserts for You Lin, or were thrown out with their limbs broken. Some were even chased out of their families. One could easily imagine what their lives would be like in the future.

The former was forcefully suppressed by the royal knights. Whether it was justice (marrying to stop the disaster) or reason (marrying Rosie willingly), both sides were on the royal family's side. Even many ordinary people admitted this. Only those extreme people wanted to continue causing trouble, so they didn't need to be polite. They could just use force to control them.

The past three days were just like this. Even though it was noisy, even though it was lively, even though there were endless disputes, even though many small things happened, it didn't affect Shien and Rosie's engagement.

Therefore, under the instructions of the royal family, the palace methodically prepared for the engagement of Rosie, the most beautiful princess in the world. They kept sending invitations to the nobles who were still in the capital.

It had to be said that the fact that all the nobles from different human countries were gathered in the capital made it convenient for the engagement.

At least, the royal family didn't need to worry about spending too much time inviting the distinguished guests from all over the world.

Since everyone was gathered in the Royal Capital, the matter of the invitation would naturally be settled in a matter of minutes.

Even though many of the nobles were unhappy about the engagement, and didn't want to see their goddess getting engaged to another man and falling into someone else's arms, under the current situation, in order not to offend the Porztutt family, they had to show some respect.

This was probably going to be the grandest engagement in history, wasn't it?

After all, how could there be a princess who could invite all the dignitaries of the human race to attend her engagement banquet?

If it weren't for Shien and Rosie's special status, this grand engagement couldn't have been held at all.

Therefore, many people already thought that this might be the largest and most high-end engagement banquet that had never been done before and would never be done in the future.

Because of this, the royal family decided that the engagement would be a celebration for the entire country.

What did that mean?

It meant that on the day of the engagement, all the people in the kingdom would be given a holiday to attend the banquet.

As the King of Anxi, he personally ordered that on the day of the engagement, every city in the kingdom had to hold a banquet to celebrate the engagement of Count Borztut and Princess Roselusti.

All the expenses of the banquet would be reimbursed by the nobles from the kingdom.

When the news spread, all the cities in the kingdom entered a celebratory atmosphere.

In this atmosphere, many of the voices of opposition faded away. It was hard to say whether this was Anxi's goal or not.

In this way, even if Shien wanted to reject it, he wouldn't be able to, right?

"… If I still reject it at this time, not only will I be killed by Rosie, but I will also be killed by everyone in the kingdom."

Shien seriously suspected that this was also one of Anxi's goals.

The king seemed to be planning to confirm the marriage between him and Rosie.

It was only natural.

"Right now, you're not just a promising young man in the eyes of the Royal Family. You have the support of the God Race, the Demon Race, the Demon Race, and a mysterious expert. You're also a big shot with terrifying strength. Although this big shot destroyed the Noble District and killed the Duke in front of the King, which made the Royal Family and the Kingdom lose face, compared to offending you, Father would definitely want to tie you to the Kingdom completely and tie you to the Kingdom's side."

Rosie had once said those words rather helplessly, to which Shien shrugged.

In fact, Shien could also feel that Anxi's attitude towards him had changed.

Before, Anxi had been warm and optimistic towards Shien, but that was all.

Now, however, Anxi's attitude towards Shien was not just warm and optimistic. From time to time, there would be a hint of wariness and caution.

This was an attitude that would only appear when facing someone of the same status, or even someone of a higher status.

From this, one could see that Anxi no longer dared to casually manipulate Shien's affairs like before.

Moreover, Rosie's elder sister, Leah's attitude towards Shien had also changed.

Although on the surface, the kingdom's first princess seemed to be the same as before, smart, capable, and a little playful, Shien had always felt that Leah would cast him a somewhat complicated gaze every once in a while.

That gaze of bitterness, confusion, melancholy, relief, relief, and a little gratitude had left Shien scratching his head in confusion many times.

It was only later that Shien found out that Leah was behaving like that because he had killed her fiancé and freed her from the uncontrollable shackles of the marriage contract.

After the incident with Liusica's family, when Shien saw Leah, this was the first thing she said.

"This is a huge favor that I may never be able to repay in this lifetime. So, from now on, your matters are my matters. As long as it's your matter, if I can help, I will help you no matter the price."

Leah's words left a very deep impression in Shien's heart.

This was because later on, Leah had indeed helped Shien a lot.

Of course, it was still too early to say these things.

Now, Leah had only just gotten rid of the marriage contract that was destined to make her unhappy. Currently, she was also the person with the lowest influence and strength in the royal family, apart from the collateral relatives.

She still had a long way to go. If she wanted to be able to help Shien, she would probably have to wait for a very long time.

As for now, what Leah could help Shien was to try her best to make the engagement banquet as beautiful as possible for him and Rosie.

Because of this, Leah volunteered to take on the great responsibility for the engagement banquet this time. She became the person in charge and the planner of the entire engagement banquet.

All the matters of the banquet were handed over to her, and she handled it swiftly and smoothly.

In the end, Shien, the main character of the engagement banquet, spent the past three days peacefully. There were no disturbances, nor was he busy at all.

With Leah around, Shien did not need to worry about the engagement banquet at all.

Even if it was some necessary handover and cooperation, Sean would let Vivian handle it for him. This caused Vivian to look at Sean with resentment in her eyes for the past few days.

Tierre, Lumia, and Merica were immersed in their training as usual. For some reason, they even trained much more fiercely than before. Nobody knew what they were doing.

Lésia and La Xia, on the other hand, were nowhere to be seen all day. They were acting mysteriously, and nobody knew what they were doing.

While Shien was happy to be free, he played with Lilith at home every day, or coaxed Ai Yi based on what had happened previously. This made Lilith stick to him more and more, and Ai Yi finally stopped being angry and let Shien off.

However, for some unknown reason, Ai Yi had actually said one sentence.

"I will be there on the day of the engagement banquet."

Hearing this, Shien thought that the little girl was still angry and wanted to ruin his engagement banquet.

Who told Ai Yi to never participate in any kind of banquets?

According to her, she was not interested in such things, nor did she want to participate in them. In fact, she was even a little annoyed.

Instead of going to some banquet, Ai Yi would rather stay at home and sleep.

Shien knew Ai Yi like this, which was why he felt that the little girl wanted to ruin his engagement banquet.

Ai Yi seemed to have seen through Shien's thoughts.

However, she herself expressed disdain for it.

"Don't worry, this treasure of the kingdom is barely worthy of being your concubine, so I won't make trouble."

After saying this, Ai Yi left.

Shien was stunned for a long time.

He had no choice.

"… I'm marrying a wife, not a concubine …"

Well, he felt that this little girl might be up to something that day.

It was decided. On the day of the engagement banquet, he would leave Lilith to this little girl to take care of.

With Lilith sticking to her and watching over her, she wouldn't be able to do anything decent.

Shien didn't know that the person who should be worried wasn't Ai Yi, but another existence.

"Damn it, I was here first, I was here first …!"

In a corner of the Divine Realm, Nyen grasped the whole thing and kept going crazy.

If it weren't for fear of being discovered by Nadura, Nyen would have summoned Shien and locked him up for three or four days, directly ruining the engagement banquet.

Her hero was about to get married just like that. This made Nyon very unhappy, and she wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

"The next one will definitely be me …!"

The delusional Goddess was still muttering her vows.

At the same time, the Protoss and the Demons actually made some moves for this engagement banquet.

It could be imagined that on the day of the engagement banquet, it would definitely be very lively.

However, on the day before the engagement banquet, Shien welcomed a guest.

"What brings you here, Prince Javis?" Shien appeared in the living room of Pottutt's house and mocked Javis, who was brought in by the maid.

Sean appeared in the living room of Porztutt's house and ridiculed Harvey, who was brought in by the maid.

The newcomer was none other than Harvey and Lockhart.

Obviously, the strength that Shien displayed and the power behind him made this cold and arrogant strongest person of the Empire look at him in a different light.

Obviously, the strength that Sean had displayed before, as well as the power behind him, had made this somewhat cold and arrogant strongest person in the empire look at him in a different light.

On the other hand, Harvey was still the same as before. He had a smile that was like a spring breeze on his face, and there was no change in his expression.

"Congratulations, you have successfully won the heart of a beauty and are about to be engaged to the most precious treasure of the kingdom, Viscount Potter Tutt," Harvey said. "No, I should call you Count Potter Tutt now, right?"

"My title hasn't been officially promoted yet, so I'm still a viscount for now." Sean curled his lips and said, "Even if I'm promoted to count, it's still not enough in front of the imperial prince. Your Highness, please don't flatter me."

Shien pursed his lips and said, "Even if I'm promoted to a count, I'm still not good enough to be compared to the Empire's Prince. Please don't brag about me, Your Highness." Javis laughed and said, "Now, who would still think that Sir Potter is a mere viscount or count?"

With the support of the God Race and the Devil Race, as well as the strength he had shown so far, even the entire Human Race had to be wary of Sean, let alone a little prince of an empire.

Harvey wasn't bragging. He was just telling the truth.

From the moment Sean showed his brilliance, Jarvis could already foresee that this young aristocrat, who was an adventurer, was going to soar into the sky.

Ever since Shien displayed his abilities, Javis could foresee that this young aristocrat who was an adventurer would rise to the top.

"Alright, Your Highness. You're not here to flatter me, flatter me, and build a good relationship with me, just like those nobles who are queuing up at the entrance, right?" Shien said, "Why?

"That's enough, Your Highness. You're not here to flatter me, flatter me, and build a good relationship with me like those nobles who are lining up at the gate, right?" Sean was not going to be courteous with Jarvis, and said directly, "Why? Is the Lefferoot family preparing to make a move? "

Sean did not forget that he needed to help Tierre deal with the elite assassins of the Lefirut family.

In the past few days, Sean had done a lot of things, but this was what he was most concerned about.

This was because this was something that could threaten the people around him.

If it was possible, Shien wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.

If there were any actions on the other side, then Sean could take action.

Shien's spirit was lifted at this thought.

However, at this moment, Harvey let out a sigh.

"Indeed, the Lefferoot Family has taken action." Javis said, "But this action may not be what we want to see."

"Not what we want to see?" Shien was slightly stunned.

Javis didn't keep him in suspense.

"I have received some news." Javis looked at Shien and said, "The Lefferoot Family's elite assassination team seems to be preparing to withdraw from the capital."

"What?" Shien was surprised. "Withdraw from the capital?"

"That's right." Javis said helplessly, "It's not just the elite assassination team. Even Warren is planning to return to the Empire. It seems that they have decided to give up on attacking Tier Albein."

"This …" Shien didn't understand.

Why did they suddenly give up?

Sean, who was deep in thought, had no idea that his performance had not only deterred the rascals, but also his enemies.

Javis said so.

"It's not hard to understand why the Lefferoot Family would give up this operation."

"Because they have seen Qing's true strength and the power behind you, so they have some misgivings."

"In other words, they have weighed the pros and cons, and finally feel that they have no chance to attack Tier Albein, who is under your protection."

"This should be the reason why they gave up this operation?"
