A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 533 - Chapter 533 Chapter 395 Someone Wants Talent_2

Chapter 533: Chapter 395 Someone Wants Talent_2 Chapter 533: Chapter 395 Someone Wants Talent_2 If it weren’t for the Demons and Demon King’s cheaty “Invincible Barrier”, Ann might well tear a few demons apart with her bare hands.

So, in Duanmu Huai’s view, his thinking wasn’t wrong.

However, Majeko clearly did not quite accept this, but… she is, after all, a princess and knew better than to speak out of turn and hence remained silent.

King Gandhi, as a king, was obviously no fool. They exchanged a few pleasantries, and Duanmu Huai introduced his two fiancees to him. This revelation definitely shook King Gandhi who found an excuse to leave with his daughter right after.

Now that’s an issue……

After leaving the room, King Gandhi was in deep thought. He hadn’t expected Duanmu Huai to already have fiancees, and two no less… But that wasn’t the key point. The issue was that no matter how he looked at it, Ms. Ann appeared superior to his daughter in every aspect, be it external appearance or demeanor. She exuded confidence. Although King Gandhi didn’t know what kind of place Manaria was, one glance at this princess was enough to know that this Magic Nation was definitely not simple.

Compared to her, his own daughter……

Looking at Majeko, King Gandhi sighed inwardly. In terms of beauty, he certainly considered his daughter as the cutest in the world. However, because Majeko always prioritized her studies, she didn’t focus much on dressing up……This won’t do!

Yes, changes must happen.

Otherwise……he might lose!

On another note, King Gandhi heaved a sigh of relief. The fact that Duanmu Huai had two fiancees confirmed that he was indeed a man. If an ordinary person had two fiancees, it would be considered a problem. But for Duanmu Huai, it wasn’t an issue at all. After all, heroes were typically high and mighty, what’s wrong with having a few wives?

Since he had two, why not three or four?

That means his daughter still has a chance!

If Duanmu Huai knew what King Gandhi was thinking, he would surely pat his shoulder and say “it’s only natural for a man to lust”, but… do you know what “polyandry” is?

Frankly speaking, Duanmu Huai wasn’t sure whether there was love between him, Ann, and Greiya. If you asked whether they got along well, that would be a definitive yes. But they felt more like good friends. Ann and Greiya spent most of their time together; Duanmu Huai was their handyman.

In romantic TV dramas and novels, couples express their deep love for each other in ways that signal ownership and jealousy. For instance, the domineering president would keep the woman protagonist locked in a cage, even going so far as to confine her to bed if she glanced at another man, just to demonstrate that she belonged to him……

Or a yandere female lead would follow her boyfriend around, her eyes blank as she watched him laugh and chat with other girls, and then slowly pull out a kitchen knife from her school bag……

Okay, these examples might be extreme, but isn’t love just like that —- or at least it should be?

But there was no jealousy between Duanmu Huai, Ann, and Greiya. Duanmu Huai and Ann got along well while Greiya was a bit reserved around him. He treated Ann and Greiya equally. Ann usually stuck to Greiya, and the two were always together it never made Duanmu Huai feel jealous.

Moreover, Duanmu Huai hadn’t had a romantic relationship because of his face, so he didn’t really know what real love looked like, and it definitely wasn’t like how it was portrayed in novels and films.

Duanmu Huai liked Ann for her lively and cheerful personality, which he found very appealing. Also, she was highly competent, which greatly helped him.

As for why Ann liked him… Duanmu Huai was at a loss.

“Speaking of which, you’re unusually clingy towards me.”

Duanmu Huai, looking at Ann clinging to his arm, asked curiously. Although he had a good relationship with Ann, she rarely made intimate couples-like actions towards him.

“Hmm…… Well…”

After hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, Ann tilted her head.

“It feels like there’s some sort of attraction to you, sir Knight, very distinctive.”

“Distinctive?”

Duanmu Huai sniffed his hand… but he had showered, right?

“Can’t exactly put it into words, but you give off an extremely rugged aura, one full of security… Hum… has your charm increased, sir Knight?”

“Are you serious?”

Hearing Ann’s words, Duanmu Huai’s eyes lit up. Despite his Charm remaining at a pitiful level of 2, showing no signs of increasing, Ann wasn’t the type to lie. Could it be that he was becoming more attractive?

“And also… there’s this… strange…”

As Duanmu Huai reveled in his own satisfaction, Ann was holding onto his arm, her eyes becoming slightly hazy. For some reason, just holding Duanmu Huai’s arm made her body feel soft and weak, with a strange, tingling sensation spreading from within. This made her want to get even closer…

“Ann?”

Right then, Greiya’s voice broke through, jolting Ann back into reality.

“What’s wrong? You look flushed. Are you okay?”

“Ah, I’m fine, I’m fine!”

Upon hearing Greiya’s voice, Ann hastily released Duanmu Huai’s arm, slapping her own face. She could feel her heart pounding, just like when she and Greiya spent time alone together…

“Really? You don’t feel well? Should we go home?”

“No no no, I want to stay here for a while.”

“Alright then, I’ll get you two rooms.”

Duanmu Huai didn’t think much of it. He believed there was nothing wrong with it. The kind of obsessive love seen in romance novels, movies, and animations might be memorable, but in this world… such persistent love was nothing more than an Obsessive Sin. Potentials followers for the God of Lust!

Wasn’t their current situation quite nice?

While Duanmu Huai was assisting Ann and Greiya, King Gandhi, on the other hand, was in a particularly bad mood. Not only had his daughter’s prospects greatly diminished, but he also had to deal with the unwelcome guests who had come knocking.

“What brings you here?”

Looking at the intelligence chief and the military chief standing before him, King Gandhi wore a grim expression. He was no fool and he had long suspected that these high-ranking officials from Seis were likely the source of the leaked information. After all, they had the motive and reason to do so, didn’t they?

“Your Majesty, we have come to make a suggestion.”

“A suggestion?”

“Yes.”

The high-ranking officials from Seis had no idea about King Gandhi’s thoughts and were currently looking at him with bright, expectant eyes.

“This Sky City is truly unparalleled, and it’s absolutely breathtaking. But don’t you think it’s a waste for such a treasure to be controlled by one person?”

“……??”

At this point, King Gandhi was absolutely baffled.

“What do you mean?”

The officials exchanged a glance, following which the head of intelligence stepped forward.

“Your Majesty, we believe this magnificent Sky City is the pinnacle of magic and a city of this caliber should only belong to our Magic Kingdom Seis! Right now, the majority of the city’s residents are our fellow countrymen from Seis. With your command, we can fully seize the city!”

“….”

Hearing this, King Gandhi was gobsmacked. He stared at his subordinates as if they were idiots.

Are you out of your minds?!

Isn’t this suicide?
