Chapter 173
Everson originally wanted to offer his blessings to the Ryan brothers, but his good intentions were kicked away by Magana.
"... The wind sings high over the vast Affetus Plains, the gods of the earth sow seeds of hope, and oh sunshine, your holy wings are like beacons of light in the darkness..."
The tough men sang with great emotion.
Oh, this.
Ryan glanced at the nobles around him and found that they all had bewildered expressions. They never expected to see such a scene at a noble banquet.
I don't understand it at all!
But we should still cheer.
"Wow! Amazing!" Jonathan laughed and clapped in the crowd.
Ryan could tell; he really liked him.
"Hmph~ How about it, Ryan? Are you satisfied with my arrangements?" Magana said smugly.
"Ah, that's wonderful, Your Grand Duke! I'm utterly impressed!"
Ryan thought to himself that this was an engagement party he would never forget.
The Iron Blood Army's enthusiastic dedication lasted for nearly an hour, until finally, a satisfied Magana waved and announced the official end of the banquet.
A blood oath?
Ceremony?
If that kind of thing were reliable, the world would have been peacefully unified long ago!
Magana didn't like that kind of thing, and Ryan didn't care either. By the time they returned to the camp after the banquet, it was almost 10 p. m.
Ryan glanced at the situation in 'Vainay'. The war outside the city was completely over. In fact, Kalkart's army still had strong fighting power, but unfortunately Kalkart was killed, and it was under the pretext of rebellion. The morale of the army was completely broken. The casualties were less than 10%, and it was already showing signs of collapse. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to win the battle.
He didn't stop the car, but drove directly to a forest behind the camp. After letting the soldiers leave first, he led Magana up the mountain.
"Ryan, what are we doing here?"
You'll find out soon enough.
As they walked up the mountain path, they gradually came to see a stream. Magana seemed somewhat happy and stepped onto the stream, the Power of Death keeping her walking on the water.
The snow-white dress reflected in the moonlight, the hem of her skirt sometimes rising and sometimes falling. Magana stood with her hands behind her back, raising her head. The sky was divided by the leaves on both sides, with a Milky Way full of Milky Way in the middle.
"Mmm~~~"
Magana stretched comfortably.
"This place is nice. It's like Mount Cafe in Childe City. I've been there once, but only to pay my respects. A whole Battle Group died there, fighting against the invasion of the Western Barbarian Army."
After walking up to the top of the mountain, there is a lake, and the stream flows down from the lake.
The tranquil lake surface shimmered, and a gentle breeze rustled through the treetops.
"It's so beautiful." Magana, dressed in a black dress, walked to the lakeside, somewhat surprised. She hadn't realized there was such a beautiful place on the mountain next to the camp.
"Do you like it, Your Grand Duke?"
"Hmm, it's quite good indeed." Magana nodded in satisfaction. "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Ryan. I, the Grand Duke, am very pleased. As this is a special day, I can grant you one wish. Tell me, what do you want?"
"I do have some things I'd like, but I'm afraid the Grand Duke will be angry," Ryan said apologetically.
"Why would I get angry? I will always keep my Grand Duke. Look, the engagement banquet is being held today, isn't it? Just say the word, and I'll agree to anything!"
She's now the Grand Duke of Augustus, even the new Imperial Capital give her face, what can't she do?
With a wave of his hand, 100,000 iron-blooded soldiers crossed the great river!
"Then..." Ryan asked expectantly, "Your Grand Duke, may I kiss you?"
"Hmm... Eh?"
Magana was stunned.
"What... what did you say?!" She was stunned for a moment. "A kiss?"
"Yes," Ryan nodded. "I don't really want anything, but since the Grand Duke insists on fulfilling my wish, I think that's what I want, since I love the Grand Duke so much. Besides, now that we're engaged, this kind of thing should be allowed, right?"
"Wait, wait a minute! Our engagement is... it's fake!"
"But the engagement was originally just to deceive Caslathdi, so there's no need for it now. Besides, the entire Augustus Empire knows that you are my fiancée. Who would dare to marry me now? To be fair, Your Grand Duke, don't you think that makes sense?"
Magana was stunned.
Yes.
That is indeed true.
Who would dare to do that in the future?
But... but this kind of thing seems a bit... wait, something's not right?
"Oh well, let it go since the Grand Duke has gone back on his word. Anyway, I never cared about promises anyway," Ryan sighed.
"Wait a minute!" Magana exclaimed. "Who said I've changed my Grand Duke! It's just a kiss, isn't it? Come on!"
I've already caused Ryan to be without a wife, so this little bit of compensation is only right... Hmm, that's all for now. When I become emperor, I can always find him ten or eight more. This is just compensation for now; it's just a kiss, nothing serious...
With a strange way of thinking, Magana tilted her head back, her lips slightly pursed, glistening with an alluring, translucent sheen.
"Come on, come on!"
