Chapter 822: Chapter 749: The Transformed Kingdom Treasure (Part 2)
But now, with the sudden arrival of Dragon Demon Ai Yi, the situation has become exceedingly complex.
“That is Dragon Demon, one of the Six Great Demons, the pinnacle of the Demon Clan. In terms of status, even a King of a Country is considerably inferior, only the Three Great Goddesses of the Divine Race can equal it.” Liya sighed, “How could such a person possibly become a mere concubine?”
Generally speaking, the background and status of the main wife must be the most prestigious, otherwise, who would accept a person with an inferior background to be above them?
If there really is a woman with a more prestigious status about to marry into the family, the family members might even consider dismissing the wife, clearing the position for the main wife.
Such matters originally had nothing to do with Luoqi.
In terms of background, who could be better than a princess of a country?
Moreover, Luoqi is not an ordinary princess; she is the Kingdom Treasure, a direct descendant of the Hero, not only inheriting the Holy Sword but also favored by the Divine Race, blessed by Fate Goddess Lidas. Such a daughter of heaven, one could say she is the pinnacle flower of the Human Realm. How could a situation arise where her background falls short?
Yet now, such a thing has inexplicably occurred.
Liya can only imagine what kind of uproar the Royal Palace is in right now, and likewise, the chaos outside.
“The Kingdom Treasure, admired by tens of thousands, is now officially engaged but faces the prospect of being dismissed?”
“How could the Royal Family allow this? How could the people of the Kingdom allow this?”
“But if not dismissed, will the Demon Clan let it slide?”
“Marrying off a pinnacle Demon of the clan to a former enemy is already a highly controversial matter. Now that it’s been settled, fine, but to be married and not even attain the position of main wife, instead becoming a subordinate to a Princess of the Land of the Brave?”
“How is that possible?”
For this, the Royal Family has already convened an emergency meeting, with everyone from Anxi to the upper echelons of the Kingdom discussing the matter.
Liya, not present, was sent by Anxi to observe Luoqi’s reaction.
But thinking about the matter made Liya anxious herself.
“That despicable fellow, having my family’s Luoqi isn’t enough, he actually goes after those he shouldn’t touch, does he really think being a Hero lets him do as he pleases?”
Liya doesn’t know how many times she has cursed Shane.
But she also knows that Shane and Ai Yi being together is not an issue of one or two days; that notorious Dragon Demon being willing to act as a guardian for a human cannot be explained without some hidden intrigue; no one would believe otherwise.
Moreover, compared to this matter, the chaos among the Three clans is the truly critical major issue.
Liya is clearly aware that if not for the sudden emergence of this marriage agreement, the news of the Hero’s reappearance would have caused unimaginable conflict among the Gods, Humans, and Demons.
One can only say everything is predestined; no one can be blamed.
“Supreme Sera, this idea must be from that infamous Demon Clan brain trust, right?” Liya sighed for the umpteenth time, “They really spare no expense.”
Since they’ve married off even a Demon, it can be said the Demon Clan played a very ruthless hand.
If it weren’t for such a ruthless move, it would be really hard to quell the chaos arising among the Three clans.
“Just hope nothing goes wrong with Luoqi.”
Liya only worried about this.
Beside her, Shanai was already silent, unsure of what to say.
The two thus came with heavy hearts to the depths of the bedroom.
“Greetings, Princess Liyadella!”
All the female knights guarding the place kneeled in unison to salute Liya.
“Where is Luoqi?”
Liya asked directly without any unnecessary words.
A female knight immediately responded.
“The Princess has stayed in the room for several days now and has ordered us not to approach the room, not even needing meals delivered.”
The female knight spoke with evident frustration.
Liya felt a sinking feeling inside, she couldn’t help but worry.
“Could the Princess truly be hurt?”
Even Shanai couldn’t suppress her concern.
At the moment, Liya could not care for anything else and quickly headed towards Luoqi’s room.
She didn’t knock on the door, instead, she pushed open the door and rushed into the room directly.
“Luoqi!”
Upon entering, Liya called out immediately.
In that instant, an indescribable atmosphere enveloped all of Liya.
That atmosphere, both solemn and sacred.
“——!?”
Liya’s face changed drastically.
“Prin…Princess…!?”
Shanai, who had followed in, was equally shocked.
The unspeakable atmosphere enveloped the entire room, not dissipating with the abrupt entry of Liya and Shanai.
And the source of the atmosphere was the figure standing by the window.
She is as beautiful as a Goddess.
She is as graceful as a celestial being.
A gentle breeze blew in through the window, lifting her long, straight snow-white hair, along with the ribbons and hems of her courtly attire, as if they were imbued with immortal air.
Her figure, no matter how you look at it, is enchanting.
Luoqi stood by the window, gazing outside.
“Lo… Luoqi?”
Liya called out to Luoqi with uncertainty.
Luoqi, as if sensing something, slowly turned her head.
In her eyes, a pair of dazzling golden pupils came into Liya’s view.
“This… What is this…!?”
Shanai widened her eyes.
“Luoqi, your eyes…?”
Liya was also caught in amazement and wavering.
Luoqi, however, seemed to overlook all of this, looked at Liya, and spoke.
“Is there something you need, Sister Liya?”
That voice was as cold as a banished immortal, like an unfeeling celestial cutting off worldly ties, deterring any thoughts of intrusion.
Liya’s expression kept changing, and finally, she couldn’t help but speak.
“Luoqi, have you already…?”
Liya asked tentatively.
Luoqi seemed to understand what Liya wanted to ask and nodded.
“Yes, I have succeeded.”
The cold words made Liya’s expression grow complex.
Because she knew very well what these words meant.
This meant Luoqi was no longer her former self; she had completely transformed.
This also meant the efforts Luoqi spent over more than a decade had now officially borne fruit.
From now on, there would be one less unparalleled talent in this world.
In place of it would be a mighty figure.
An absolutely invincible figure, possibly rivaling even Transcend Level Existences.
“If there’s something, just say it straight, Sister Liya.”
Luoqi spoke indifferently.
“…I’m here to tell you that Shane’s and the Dragon Demon Lord’s marriage arrangement has been formally set and is now a reality.”
Liya spoke with a complex expression.
“Is that so?” Luoqi was unresponsive, as if hearing the smallest of matters, still speaking indifferently: “Father and those nobles must already be arguing, right?”
“Probably.” Liya said with some bitterness, “The Kingdom might cancel your marriage arrangement with Shane.”
This is currently the most likely measure the Kingdom would take.
Rather than wait to be pressured by the Demon Clan and let Shane ruin his wife, it’s better to cancel the marriage arrangement directly.
Moreover, the Kingdom couldn’t possibly want its most proud and treasured member to become someone’s secondary wife.
Therefore, canceling the marriage arrangement is the most likely occurrence.
In response, Luoqi’s reaction remained so cold.
“You tell them.” Luoqi said indifferently: “Just say I have already acquired that power.”
“This…” Liya hesitated.
“Go ahead.” Luoqi said coldly: “As long as they know I succeeded, they will no longer think they can decide my life.”
Upon hearing this, Liya’s heart skipped a beat.
“…Fine.”
After a moment of silence, Liya sighed quietly and withdrew from Luoqi’s room, bringing along a shocked Shanai.
The room door closed once again, restoring the silence in this place.
Luoqi watched this scene and after a moment, her golden eyes dimmed, reverting to their original wine-red color.
Immediately, the cold expression on Luoqi’s face also disappeared, replaced by a look of gritted teeth.
“That bastard, I’ll settle this with you when you return.”
Luoqi, furious, pounced onto the bed, punching and hitting the pillow.
Upon closer inspection, the pillow had two large characters stuck onto it— “Shane.”
