Chapter 188: Exploitation? A Marriage Proposal?
"Shien."
Over the past few days, this name had indeed risen to fame like that of a prominent figure. It was discussed everywhere. Though it had not spread among the commoners, it had already circulated throughout noble circles and the Knights.
The reason it had spread so widely in just a few days was entirely because this man had come into contact with the Kingdom's Treasure.
Make no mistake—this was Princess Roxielusty's influence.
Possessing beauty that even Goddesses would pale before, she was also the only person in a thousand years to gain the Holy Sword's recognition and receive the blessing of the Goddess of Fate, one of the Three Great Goddesses. This Princess's popularity within the kingdom could practically be called a form of power. The people's admiration, worship, and fanaticism toward her had reached an utterly terrifying level.
Without exaggeration, if that Princess had been willing, she could have called out from on high at any moment, gained the support of every citizen in the nation, forced the current King from the throne, and taken that seat herself, becoming the fourth Queen in the history of the Kingdom of Mithra.
What was frightening was that such popularity was not limited to the commoners. It was just as effective among the nobility and the Knights.
There were no shortage of nobles who had fallen at that Princess's beauty—indeed, it could be said that they made up the overwhelming majority.
Likewise, countless knights had been won over by that Princess's strength.
Combined with her flawless upbringing and various legendary exploits, that Princess had long become the Goddess in the hearts of everyone throughout the kingdom, a precious treasure they could seek but never obtain.
The title Kingdom's Treasure was absolutely not an empty one.
