Now that General Budoh was gone, no one could stop Esdeath anymore. Moreover, the capital had just undergone a massive purge, and the situation was extremely unstable.
If he agreed, the Little Emperor's core programming as a puppet was that he could not do anything that would harm Chen Luo. And even if it was not harmful to Chen Luo, but instead out of the Little Emperor's goodwill, he was still afraid of being beaten so badly afterward that he would be unable to get out of bed for three days.
Little Emperor, major crisis!
In the end, Chen Luo helped the Little Emperor escape the crisis.
"However, I refuse!"
What I, Chen Luo, loved most was saying no to people who thought no one would refuse them!
Did they not understand what free love was?
Of course, the more important reason was that the Herrscher of Knowledge was practically kicking Chen Luo's ass swollen behind him.
Stop kicking me, stop kicking me.
I wasn't the one who made this request, so why are you kicking me? Kick Esdeath instead!
Seriously, today was my first time meeting Esdeath. All I did was catch her when she fell from the sky, use an umbrella to block a deadly bolt of lightning for her, and teach Honest a lesson with soul fire when he tried to insult her.
How had things suddenly escalated to the point of an arranged marriage?
Wait...
Chen Luo remembered that Esdeath originally seemed to have listed five requirements for finding a boyfriend...
1. More than anything else, he must value future potential. She hoped he would train himself with the goal of becoming someone of general rank.
2. He had to have courage. Even empty-handed, he had to be someone who could hunt Danger Beasts with her.
