Chapter 139 Engagement and Anchor
"Little Li Si, what do you think of my daughter Taiya?"
Hearing the king's words, Li Si was a little stunned. Is it so direct?
Duke Hader's intention is obvious, he wants to strengthen the relationship between the two parties through marriage, which is also what the nobles of the kingdom do most often.
Marriage is also the future for most noble children who have no future.
However, King Morton's proposal really shocked Li Si. You must know that Taiya is not an ordinary person. She has a legendary talent and is the future pearl of the kingdom. The old king is actually willing to let Li Si and Taiya marry.
The price paid is really not small!
In the eyes of the old king, this was actually a good deal.
Although Taiya's talent is very good and she was praised by the legendary monk in the palace as having the potential to break through into legend in the future, the old king is not Li Si and he is not sure if Taiya can do this in the future.
But if Li Si can be accepted as a disciple by [Flame of Judgment], then his talent is definitely not weaker than Ataya. He is already one of the best young men in the kingdom, and he is definitely worthy of Atayal.
What's more, if Li Si marries Taiya, it will be equivalent to Li Si being tightly tied to the carriage of the Kingdom of Fes.
Even if he does not break through to the legendary level in the future, it can be regarded as strengthening the connection between [Flame of Judgment] and the kingdom.
Li Si hesitated, not because he didn't like Taiya.
To be honest, who doesn’t love the heroic Valkyrie in her previous life?
After Taiya inherited the throne, there was even a group of players squatting outside the palace every day waiting to "sneak attack" the queen, even if they were killed by the guards, they still enjoyed it.
But to be honest, Li Si couldn't accept the fact that he suddenly entered the stage of marrying a wife and starting a family.
It has only been a few months since he came to the world of "Divine Inspiration", and even though he has met so many people, he has seen many wonderful things in the extraordinary world, and has mastered various extraordinary abilities.
But in his heart, there was still a vague feeling of unreality.
Before, Li Si faced the coming crises and the people he met with the mentality of conquering the game.
Whether it is Ya'er, Yassen, Risa and Joyce, even the brotherhood with Bernie, Maura and others is more of a natural reaction of this body.
In other words, Li Si has been playing the role of Li Si Kane!
Although Li Si was a game master in his previous life and had his own studio, in the final analysis he was just an ordinary person.
Suddenly coming to a familiar but actually quite unfamiliar world, facing various characters from previous life games, Li Si seemed to have peace of mind only by holding on to his identity as Viscount Kane.
He also knows that this is a real world, and everyone is real and no longer the NPC in the previous game, but his mentality has not really integrated into this world.
If Duke Harder wanted to introduce Li Si to a noble woman he didn't know at all, Li Si would definitely refuse it neatly.
However, when the King of Fes said that he would marry Princess Ataya to Li Si, it was like a hammer that broke open the protective layer hidden in Li Si's heart.
Taiya, including Risa, would be a lie to say that Li Si didn't like them.
Who doesn’t like beautiful NPCs in games?
You ask a "Shenqi" game player:
"Do you like Princess Taiya?"
He will 100% tell you clearly:
"You're kidding, that's my wife, okay!"
Even Li Si can say without any scruples that XXX (female character) is my goddess.
But when Li Si actually faced this situation, he felt a little cowed and confused.
Do you want to agree?
As long as Li Si nodded at this time, the king could now directly confirm the engagement.
At this moment, Li Si's mind was a little confused, and to outsiders, it seemed that Li Si was completely stunned.
Vosys frowned slightly, feeling that Li Si's current behavior was a bit rude in front of the king. Just when he was about to remind him, Morton raised his hand to stop Vosys again.
"Xiao Li, do you have any questions?"
Morton looked at Li Si and asked with a smile.
Li Si raised his head, looked at the gentle King sitting in front of him, and asked involuntarily:
"Your Majesty, do you think I am worthy of Princess Ataya?"
Vosyce's frown deepened. What happened to Viscount Kane? He could say such rude things. Where did his previous shrewdness go?
Morton was also stunned. He wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Li Si's confused and frightened eyes, he stopped talking.
After a moment of silence, Morton slowly spoke:
"I don't know what you're thinking, but I didn't do it on the spur of the moment."
"You were very low-key before, well. So low-key that I had no impression of you at all."
His Majesty the King smiled and said:
"But your recent performance surprises me. There is such a young talent in Bright Light City, which shows that I was blind before."
"You can trust me, or you can trust yourself."
"If you weren't excellent now, how could I be willing to marry my precious daughter to you."
Yes!
No matter why he came to this world, Li Si is Viscount Kane now.
In his previous life, Viscount Kane would die in a Saint's Day assassination, but Lis could be sure that his future would be different.
Moreover, not only Viscount Kane,
The King of Fes in his previous life would never marry Taiya to Viscount Kane.
Angela will die in the crusade of the Knights of the Golden Lion, instead of being lazy and happy now.
Risa will still stay in the library honestly until Viscount Kane is assassinated.
The same goes for Maura, wasting away her time drunkenly and dreamily.
Unknowingly, I have changed the fate of many people!
There was a trace of relief on Li Si's face, like a traveler in the desert who had finally found an oasis, as if he had found the true anchor point connecting him to the world.
Vosys looked at the two people in front of him with confusion. Is this some kind of riddle?
Morton actually didn't know what happened, but he couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Si's firm eyes brushing away the haze.
"So, has it been decided, our Viscount Kane?"
"Thank you for your majesty's love, but my teachers and family elders have told me to devote my energy to practice recently, and I may not have the time to focus on my personal feelings in the short term."
Li Si bowed his head respectfully and replied.
This was Li Si's decision after careful consideration. As a modern man, he didn't really like the feeling of this kind of arranged marriage.
If Li Si really wanted to marry Taya, he would have to propose to Taya in person.
"That would be a pity."
Morton said regretfully, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.
"Your Majesty, I'm really sorry, I'll leave first."
Li Si bowed, stood up and left the reception room.
