Chapter 821: Chapter 749: The Kingdom Treasure’s Transformation
The Mitra Kingdom, Royal Capital.
In the splendid corridors of the Royal Palace, Liya was leading Shanai together into Luoqi’s bedroom.
Luoqi’s bedroom remained unchanged from before, the only difference being that there were no longer groups of noble heirs attempting to meet Luoqi, draw closer to her, or even achieve successful matrimony.
Since Shane and Luoqi officially became engaged, Luoqi was no longer the single Princess but a royal bloodline with a marriage contract, soon to be wed.
Now that even the Royal Family has recognized the engagement, no noble dares to recklessly pursue the Kingdom Treasure.
That is not just undermining, but outright humiliating the Royal Family.
Hence, no matter how unwilling, those noble heirs can only give up and dare not come here to bother Luoqi, who is under engagement.
Of course, some people will never give up, nor will there ever be a shortage of reckless noble heirs.
These individuals dare not openly pursue Luoqi, but secretly they are scheming, ready to play some underhanded tricks.
If there weren’t Divine Race and Demon Clan backing Shane, and if Dragon Demon Ai hadn’t openly declared that acting against him would offend the Demon Clan, perhaps some wouldn’t have restrained themselves and might have already taken action against Shane.
Even so, some nobles, taking advantage of Shane’s absence, surreptitiously arranged a scheme against the Beizut Family, which was quite insidious.
However, recently, those schemes have dissipated without a trace.
“No matter how you say it, those guys dare not make a move against a Hero.”
Liya was walking through the corridors of the bedroom, expressing her thoughts as she went.
Nowadays, the fact that Shane is a Hero has spread throughout Omni Potanssen, causing quite a stir.
For this reason, whether it’s the Human Race, Demon Clan, or Divine Race, there’s been more or less intense reactions.
The Demon Clan and Divine Race naturally need no elaboration; with their inseparable fate and bond with the Hero, it’s only natural for them to react intensely to the Hero reappearing after a millennia.
As for the Human Race, there’s been a myriad of reactions, all undoubtedly intense.
The Mitra Kingdom is no exception.
“After all, it’s the Land of the Brave.”
Upon discovering that their country’s noble had produced a Hero, and this Hero is the fiancée of the Kingdom Treasure, the widely discussed Count of Beizut in the Kingdom, both citizens and nobility had strong reactions.
The nobility secretly scheming were also shocked, left bewildered one after another upon learning the news.
Thus, since Shane’s identity as a Hero was revealed, many nobles have been frightened into withdrawing their schemes.
There’s nothing they can do; the title of Hero is truly intimidating, especially in a Kingdom known as the Land of the Brave, where reverence for the Hero is deeply ingrained, and after knowing Shane is a Hero, there’s no way those individuals haven’t decided to withdraw.
But recently, another undercurrent has begun to emerge within the Mitra Kingdom, prompting these nobles once again to become restless.
Especially today, as a piece of news circulates and directly amplifies the malice in many hearts.
Liya has come here precisely because of this matter.
“What do you think Luoqi’s reaction would be, Shanai?”
Liya sighed, addressing Shanai beside her.
The silent Shanai naturally knew what Liya referred to.
Yet inquiring her about it was somewhat unfair.
“How could I possibly know Luoqi’s reaction?” Shanai said, with a bitter expression: “Ever since she returned from her last trip, Luoqi has been staying in her bedroom, even in her room, never going out. The Royal Family has been discussing if Luoqi is feeling upset over the matter between Lord Beizut and Dragon Demon Lord, which is why she’s behaving this way.”
This has recently been a hot topic of discussion in the Royal Palace.
Even Liya found it extremely hard to believe.
“Actually engaged to a Demon?” Liya remarked, distressed: “It sounds just like a nightmare.”
“Indeed.” Shanai agreed, saying: “As the nemesis of the Demon Clan, actually going to marry the highest Demon among them, when the news first circulated, everyone thought it was just a temporary measure from the Demon Clan to brush us off.”
“But now it can be confirmed as truth.” Liya said helplessly: “Even Supreme Sela from the Demon Clan, along with other Demons, has vouched with their own names, claiming that they would officially betroth Dragon Demon Ai with Lord Beizut; under such circumstances, how could it possibly be a mere diplomatic ruse or wordplay?”
“With the news spreading, many probably are going to cause a commotion, aren’t they?” Shanai said quietly: “After all, the official fiancée of Lord Beizut is Princess Luoqi. Dragon Demon Lord bursting onto the scene is making things difficult.”
Indeed, things have become difficult.
It is imperative to mention here, within the world of Omni Potanssen, marriage wasn’t something casually arranged.
Granted, it permitted multiple wives, but generally speaking, only one Main Wife would have a grand engagement ceremony.
Once a grand engagement ceremony takes place, the position of the Main Wife is essentially confirmed.
Following the Main Wife, whether as a secondary wife or concubine, they wouldn’t have an engagement ceremony, but would directly proceed to the wedding.
Thus, after Shane and Luoqi held the formal engagement ceremony, Luoqi’s status as Shane’s Main Wife was virtually affirmed.
