If the main characters of this engagement banquet were Shien and Rosie, then the emcee would undoubtedly be An Xi.
Ancey nodded at Sean, seemingly satisfied, and then looked around the room.
"First of all, please allow me to welcome all of you on behalf of my daughter Rosie and the Mithra Kingdom. Thank you for accepting the kingdom's invitation and attending this engagement banquet."
An Xi's voice woke up those who were obsessed with Rosie's beauty.
"Today is the engagement day of my daughter, the second princess of the Mithra Kingdom, Rosie Lusti Mithra."
"She is my baby and the most precious treasure of the kingdom. She has been gifted since she was young, and no one in the human race can match her. Not only did she receive the approval of the Ancestral Holy Sword, she was also blessed by the Goddess of Destiny and loved by the Protoss."
"I believe that in this world, no one can be more outstanding than my daughter, and no one can have such achievements."
"For this, I sincerely thank God for giving me such an outstanding daughter, and she has made me proud for 17 years."
"From now on, I will probably continue to be proud of this until the day I die."
"I also believe that everyone in the kingdom is as proud of my daughter as I am. They love and praise her from the bottom of their hearts."
"Now, my outstanding daughter has finally found a husband that is compatible with her."
As he spoke, An Xi held Rosie's hand in one hand and Shien's hand in the other, facing everyone present.
"His background is not noble, but with his own ability, in just a few months, he transformed from an adventurer to a hero of the kingdom and all races."
"He has tamed the legendary Black Dragon, fought against the Old Demons, and disrupted the schemes of the fallen nobles several times. He stood out from the many heroes of the human race and became the most outstanding one."
"If there is anyone in this world who is worthy of the most precious treasure of our kingdom, I think it should be him."
"So, today, I officially hand my daughter over to him, betroth the most precious treasure of my kingdom, the treasure of the royal family, to this equally outstanding man."
As he spoke, An Xi placed Rosie's hand in Shien's.
Shien and Rosie held each other's hands tightly, almost subconsciously squeezing each other's hands tightly.
It was as if the two of them could no longer see anyone else, and only had eyes for each other.
An Xi suddenly smiled, but his mood was still very complicated.
He remembered that back then, he had made up his mind that if Shien really had a relationship with his daughter, he would not agree to it unless he completely became a member of the kingdom.
Who would have thought that the world was unpredictable, and now, it was no longer a question of whether he would allow it or not.
In the end, his precious daughter would still be stolen.
This made An Xi very melancholy for the past few days, but he also got over it.
Xi Xi had been very sad these days.
"From today onward, he will officially marry my daughter, and will be, Rosie's daughter. Rosie's daughter will be Rosie, Rosie's marriage.
"Rosie will be, and will be, my daughter, and will be, King, and Xi.
"Everyone, please offer your most sincere blessings to this fiancée."
Hearing this, everyone present looked at Shien and Rosie, who were holding hands and looking at each other. There was no one else in their eyes, and their hearts were filled with reluctance.
This was especially so for the nobles. When they saw Rosie, who was much more beautiful than ever before, their hearts, which had originally intended to give up, began to waver.
Not to mention them, even the nobles were somewhat hesitant.
Were they really going to give up?
Could they really give up on such a beautiful princess, the descendant of the most outstanding warrior of the entire human race, a woman who was blessed by the heavens?
Wouldn't it be a great blessing if the marriage alliance was with their own family?
The nobles, who had already made up their minds to give up, began to waver.
Even Harvey smiled bitterly in the crowd.
"Even I am a little regretful that I gave up so easily. Rosie, Rusti Mithra, is really a scary person."
With such a person as her opponent, it was no wonder that the pressure on her was so great that she became so rigid and neurotic.
Most of the people present had similar thoughts as Harvey. They all felt that they had given up too early.
However, it was too late to regret now.
"Clap — Clap — Clap — Clap —"
In the hall, a round of applause rang out.
Everyone turned their heads to look and were immediately stunned.
Because the person who was clapping was none other than Ai Yi.
Yes.
Ai Yi actually took the lead in clapping.
"The most precious treasure of the kingdom lives up to her name. You are worthy of my applause."
Ai Yi glanced at the surprised Shien and began to clap.
At the side, Lilith immediately imitated him and clapped with a serious face.
Vivian and Tierre looked at each other. In the end, Vivian suddenly smiled, and the other's expression softened. They also began to clap.
Even Lucia and Merica hurriedly followed suit. After a moment of silence, Lucia smiled as if she had been relieved. Then, the applause rang out.
Seeing this, the people present began to follow suit one after another.
"You two are very compatible. God will bless you two."
Pope Yule applauded with a smile, and all the clergymen in the temple began to clap together.
The Demons also did the same. Looking at Ai Yi, who took the lead in clapping, they did so without hesitation.
Harvey also smiled helplessly and clapped with Lockett.
The rest of the people could no longer hesitate and could only clap unwillingly. The applause grew louder and louder until the entire hall was filled with cheers and applause.
However, the noblemen's hearts were bleeding as they applauded.
Looking at Rosie's goddess-like figure and seeing that she only had eyes for Shien and had a smile on her face that had never been there before, the nobles were even more frustrated. They wanted to kick Shien away so that they could be the one standing next to Rosie.
Anci, on the other hand, smiled happily.
Then, he looked at Shien.
"I, Anci Fulger Mithra, in the name of the 13th King of the Mithra Kingdom, bestow upon you the title of an honorary earl."
Anci then proceeded with the last task.
"From today onwards, you are no longer a viscount, but an earl of the kingdom, a superior noble. You have truly stepped into the upper class of the noble circle."
"I hope you will treat Rosie well and work hard to improve yourself to the next level."
"Earl Iztut."
After that, Anci let go of his hand and stepped back, giving the stage to Shien and Rosie.
Shien and Rosie finally looked at each other and smiled.
Especially Rosie, her eyes were filled with happiness and relief.
She knew that she had finally bid farewell to her past and would no longer have to continue living a boring life like before.
From today onwards, she would no longer have to live in response to other people's expectations, nor would she have to hide herself so painstakingly.
Although today was just an engagement ceremony and they were not officially married yet, Rosie, who had the [God of Fate's Blessing], had a premonition that her life would completely change from this moment onwards.
Thinking of this, Rosie could not help but tighten her grip on Shien's hand.
It was rare that Shien did not make a fool of himself. It was as if this beautiful princess was the only thing left in his eyes, and his face was filled with a gentle smile.
Suddenly, Shien seemed to be able to see the scene when he first met Rosie on the square in front of the palace.
At that time, Rosie was so beautiful and so awe-inspiring that even Shien was dazed and held his breath.
However, what really made Shien recognize Rosie was that decisive scene.
Until now, Shien could still vaguely hear the words of that time.
"Why did such a troublesome thing happen again? Can't you just let me have a good rest? "
"My daily schedule is already so full. Not only do I have to go out and show my face every day, but I also have to deal with the nobles who came to propose marriage. I don't even have time to play. Finally, I can stay in the capital for a while, but why does this have to happen again? How much work does God want me to do before he is satisfied? "
"I don't want to work! I don't want to work! I want to go out and play! "
"I want to eat the desserts from Lilith's shop! I want to eat the sumptuous meals from Alice's shop! I don't want to eat the cold dishes from the palace all the time! "
"Sob sob sob... That idiot Vivian... Why did she bring me so much trouble? What do these people want me to do! "
"Ah ah ah... So troublesome... So troublesome..."
Recalling the voice, the words, and Rosie who was lying on the bed, rolling around and complaining about the current situation, Shien could not help but laugh.
Shien moved closer to Rosie's ear.
"Do you still think that meeting me is a troublesome thing?"
For some reason, Shien asked such a question.
Rosie seemed to know where Sean's question came from. It was as if she had also recalled what had happened at that time. She looked at Sean with displeasure in her eyes.
But...
"Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me in my life."
Rosie followed her heart and answered word by word with a bright smile.
His smile once again caused everyone present to be dazed.
Shien could not help but be dazed for a moment, and then he smiled.
Sean glanced at the beautiful and charming Rosie, and then looked at the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the nobles around him. Suddenly, the smile on Sean's face turned sour.
Then, Shien suddenly grabbed Rosie's hand and tightened his grip.
"Ah!"
Rosie could not help but cry out in surprise and threw herself into Shien's arms.
Shien held the princess in his arms, and then without hesitation, he lowered his head and stole her lips.
"Wow!"
Everyone present was speechless.
"Crack!"
The hearts of all the nobles suddenly shattered like glass.
"What...!?"
Vivian, Tierre, Lumia, and Merica were all stunned by what they had just seen.
"That guy..."
Ai Yi stopped clapping, and her face twitched.
Even the smile on Anyi's face froze.
In front of everyone present, Shien hugged and kissed the most precious treasure of the kingdom, the most beautiful woman of the human race, and announced to the world that this princess was now his.
Rosie finally reacted, and she was angry and anxious.
But then, Rosie's body also softened. She stretched out her hands, wrapped them around Shien's neck, closed her eyes, and entrusted all of herself to Shien, letting him do whatever he wanted.
This was also a declaration.
Announcing that she had become this man's possession.
She had fallen in love with him, not for the sake of a political marriage, and not for any other considerations. She had simply fallen in love with this man who had kissed her in a domineering manner.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Finally, someone in the hall was so stimulated that he collapsed and fainted on the spot with a scream.
The rest of the people also felt dizzy, and some only felt dizzy. They felt their hearts go empty and lost their souls.
"Really..."
Even Nadur, who was hiding in the dark, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The only one left was Lia. She had been watching silently from the side since the beginning, and now, looking at the couple who couldn't stop hugging and kissing, she felt gratified and complicated.
"Your Highness Lia..."
Shana called Lia, and her eyes were full of envy and yearning as she looked at Shien and Rosie.
"I'm fine." Lia shook her head and said softly, "Rosie has finally found her own happiness. She has found someone who truly loves her, and she loves him with all her heart."
Lia would no longer feel jealous.
But she would still feel envious.
"Her Highness Lia has broken off the engagement with the Liushka family, and she will also find her own happiness."
As the person who understood Lia the most and was closest to her, Shana naturally knew about Lia's troubles and her current mood.
"I hope so."
Lia did not have the bitter expression she had in the past. Instead, she smiled sweetly.
She knew that she was still not as good as her sister, just like before.
Even if the engagement with the Liushka family was broken off, as the princess of the royal family, and the first in line to the throne, she would still very likely go towards a political marriage, marrying someone she didn't like.
Without Rosie's special status, and without Sean's special conditions, there were very few things she could decide on in the family.
But at least, now, she wouldn't be as hopeless as before, right?
Because of this, Lia couldn't help but say while she was grateful to Shien for giving her such hope.
"I have a wish, Shana."
Lia suddenly blurted out such a sentence.
"Wish?"
Shana was stunned at first, and then she understood.
Lia was both happy and playful at the same time.
"I want to be in love."
She didn't want it to be spectacular, and she didn't want it to be painstakingly etched in her heart. She only wanted to meet such a person, and then, she would love him with all her heart, and he would love her with all his heart.
Even if, in the end, the two of them couldn't be together, it didn't matter.
That was her, Riad Ayla's wish.
