At this point, old Arjen couldn't help but sigh.
The young King whom I met and swore to follow during my most difficult time was truly a genius among geniuses.
The current situation within the empire is the most complex it has been in the last sixty years. For any other King of a vassal state, it would be an unsolvable predicament, leaving him with no choice but to submit to the Crown Prince. But for Sun Fei, it was like an adult watching children play house.
His absolute individual strength was enough for His King to step out of the game and coldly watch the so-called Imperial God of War jump around like a clown, yet he was always able to control everything and redefine the rules.
That's real strength!
When a person's strength is so great that they can disregard the existence of the entire empire's army and experts, all conspiracies and schemes are a joke in their presence.
Unfortunately, there are still many things that old Arjen could not predict.
If he knew that the legendary Emperor Yassin, who was supposedly on the verge of death, was actually still alive and kicking, and had almost killed a super strong expert at the Great Sun-Rank Venerable God and Demon Palace, perhaps he would have to reconsider his judgment—at least for now, Sun Fei is definitely Jimo among the most powerful figures on the Zenit Empire's personal strength rankings.
Of course, King Majesty the King currently holds cards that many people could never even dream of.
If they choose to break with the Zenit royal family now, even if Emperor Yassin is incredibly powerful, it's certain that the Chambord City side will not be the weaker party.
But Sun Fei had more to think about.
They simply didn't want the situation to deteriorate to this point.
Furthermore, the Crown Prince's will does not represent the Zenit Imperial Family. The one who truly controls everything in the empire is that 'actor' named Yassin, who has been feigning illness for the past few years, but after the trip to the God and Demon Palace, he is probably about to break down.
The brilliance of old Arjen's words lay in the fact that they both warned the group of muscle-bound brutes in Chambord City not to cause trouble for His King, without damaging their morale. In fact, they greatly boosted the confidence of these high-ranking officers in Chambord City, achieving three goals at once.
As the group chatted, the topic eventually turned to their former 'comrades-in-arms'—
"Sigh, after fighting side by side for so many days, it's really hard to part ways with Shevchenko and Ribery now. It's a pity they're not from Chambord City. Otherwise, it would be much better for us to be together and serve His Majesty Alexander than to suffer the wrath of that prince..." Drogba slapped his forehead and said with a touch of sadness.
These words truly resonated with everyone.
These past few days, he had fought alongside Ribery and other officers of the original garrison in Twin Flag City, as well as various experts from the [ Wolf Fang Legion ], forging a deep friendship that belonged only to men. The sudden departure inevitably left even these rough and unruly men feeling a little sad.
"Yes, what a pity. It would have been so much better if they could have come together."
"I suspect that His Majesty is actually reluctant to part with them."
By the end, the roughnecks seemed somewhat dejected, and even Old Arjen, the strategist, lowered his head and remained silent.
Unbeknownst to them, their conversation had been overheard by Queen Angela, who happened to emerge from the royal tent.
"So Alexander is under this much pressure right now?" Angela felt a slight tremor in her heart at that moment.
She had never paid much attention to the politics of Chambord City. Apart from attending some banquets and parties in St. Saint Petersburg, the capital, under the guidance of the eldest princess, and helping Sun Fei build the Wolf Fang Legion, she rarely participated in the management of Chambord City's affairs, big and small, as the future princess, trying her best not to cause trouble for her beloved.
This was the first time she realized that her beloved was enduring so much hardship in this world.
"But what can I do for Alexander?" Angela stood quietly at the entrance of the royal tent, biting her red lips with her pearly white teeth, and asked herself softly. She felt useless again. After thinking it over, it seemed that apart from providing food and clothing, she really couldn't help Sun Fei in any significant way.
This conclusion left the girl somewhat disheartened.
"Hehe, silly girl, you don't need to do anything for me..." A pair of strong arms gently embraced her from behind, and a familiar breath came from behind her ear. "Just being able to hold you like this for a few minutes every day fills my life with joy and radiance."
"Ah, Alexander..." Although she was used to Sun Fei's occasional affectionate gestures, Angela still felt a little blush and her heart race. Her small, slender, white hands, as white as jade, gently grasped the Big Hand wrapped around her waist. Angela bit her lip and said, "But, Alexander, I still want to do something for you."
"Oh, I see. Well then, you'd better take good care of the [ Enforcer ] and train them well. When they grow up, our Chambord City will have three powerful guardian dragons. This is a very important matter!" Sun Fei smiled as if coaxing a child, gently carrying the girl back to the royal tent.
Angela nodded seriously. "No problem, I think I can really do it."
The girl's inner turmoil was once again untied by someone's sweet words.
" Angela..." Sun Fei quietly held the girl in his arms.
"Kindness?"
"Marry me, and we'll have a wedding."
"Ah?" The girl's voice trembled slightly, filled with unexpected surprise.
"Once we return to Chambord City, let's hold our wedding, shall we?" Sun Fei's voice was almost dreamlike. "Our wedding will be held amidst the cheers of millions of subjects and a sky full of flowers, in a magnificent sky palace, receiving the worship of the people of Chambord, with all the beasts of heaven and earth coming to pay homage. I will personally design your pure white wedding dress, making you the happiest, most beautiful, and noblest bride in the world!"
The feeling of happiness, in that instant, was like an electric shock, tingling and wonderful, indescribable, striking the girl's heart hard.
The hot breath on her ear made Angela feel dizzy.
She bit her cherry lips tightly, when suddenly a flash of lightning struck her mind, and a familiar, graceful, and majestic figure appeared in her heart. After a slight hesitation, Angela turned around gently, her clear and innocent eyes filled with an unprecedented True God as she looked at Sun Fei.
At that moment, a strange aura flowed through the air.
Angela's unusually serious expression startled Sun Fei. Just as His Majesty the King was about to say something, the girl suddenly chuckled, her slender, white fingers gently pressing against Sun Fei's lips. A mischievous glint flashed in her beautiful eyes as she laughed, " Alexander, you seem to have forgotten someone!"
"Huh?" Sun Fei was stunned for a moment, then immediately felt guilty.
He certainly knew who the future princess was referring to as 'the other person'.
"Sister Elena told me your story before, many stories I never knew before. It turns out that Sister Elena was with you, you went through so many dangerous and terrifying things together, fighting and bleeding together in those horrible worlds filled with demons and monsters, experiencing life and death together. I envy Sister Elena; she's so strong, able to fight alongside you..." Angela stretched out her delicate, fair hand and gently stroked Sun Fei's face. "I had no idea you suffered so much danger in that terrible world..."
" Angela, I..."
"I know, Alexander, you didn't tell me all this so I wouldn't worry. And don't blame Elena. A month ago, after we fell into a coma, I was lost in a deep dream, thinking I would never see you again. In that dark world, it was just the two of us. Elena told me all this to drive away my fear and to take care of me..."
This innocent girl, no matter what the situation, always thinks of others first.
"So, Alexander, you can't marry just me. On that day, you can't hold only my hand. Elena has sacrificed no less for you than I have. I hope that on that day, I can stand beside Elena, wearing the wedding dress you designed for us, and receive the cheers of the people of Chambord City!"
Sun Fei was stunned.
I felt waves of emotion, followed by waves of shame.
In the Azeroth Continent, a world where the law of the jungle prevails and strength reigns supreme, men hold a higher status than women—an indisputable fact. Therefore, it's commonplace for a man to have several wives and concubines. As for nobles of even higher status, having dozens or even hundreds of wives, concubines, or lovers is not unusual. In the vassal states of the Zenit Empire, almost every King has a large harem. Even the Holy Church, which claims to represent the gods and is incomparably holy, tacitly approves of a terrifying system called the "right of the first night"—young women within its territory must offer their virginity to the King before marriage.
Marrying two wives at the same time is a perfectly common thing for people in this world.
Therefore, it's not that Angela can't accept marrying her beloved at the same time as another girl.
A kind girl like her, who always puts others first, after learning about Sun Fei and Elena's perilous adventures in another, cruel world, and understanding the deep and unbreakable bond between them, and after witnessing how they relied on each other and developed a sisterly relationship during her coma in that strange, dark space, Angela completely accepted Elena 'Elena existence. The last vestige of instinctive resentment in her heart vanished entirely.
This unexpected and strange experience, ironically, strengthened the bond between the three of them.
Sun Fei didn't say anything, he just hugged the girl in his arms tightly.
The Diablo World.
Sun Fei and Elena stood outside the secret room where the final boss of the last level of the second act's map, [ Lut Gholein ], was located.
