Chapter 175: Perhaps He Likes To Sword Fight?
...…
The cause of the overwhelming victory at Riveredge Pass was none other than the one who assumed command over the Royal Army after the previous general had died. He was the one called the 'Crimson Terror' or the 'Blood-bathed War God', among many other titles.
But regardless of which title was most often used, there was one thing that everyone knew about the recently dubbed Marquis Amonroth. And that was the fact that he knew nothing but the reaping of lives and the creation of rivers of blood!
However, in the eyes of the King and other high-ranking nobles, he might as well have been their lucky charm. Which was why Duke Hollister, Duke Hemmington, Duke Doozle, and, of course, the King of the Azura Kingdom did everything in their power to get him on their side using the 'Arranged Marriage Tactic'.
This was also why there were a few more guests at this party than just the old fogies…
"Amon, my Love! You should've told me that you were coming to this party! If you did, I would've been here since yesterday!"
The voice of a girl with long black hair and yellowish brown eyes took everyone out of their stupors.
"..." "..."
Their gazes focused on a woman around 5'6 in a dark green dress, who came rushing into the mansion with a fervish expression as she scanned the ballroom, looking for the only one in her eyes.
When she saw the man whom her father was talking to, her eyes brightened up as she ran in his direction before leaping!
Just as she was about to make contact with the tall, crimson-eyed figure, a feminine hand clasped onto her well-sculpted face and stopped her in her tracks.
*Tick!*
A vein appeared on her smooth forehead as she asked in a venomous tone, "What do you think you're doing, Sister Jia Lei?"
"You shouldn't be so unruly in the presence of so many people, Sister Nuan He. I'm simply helping you keep your image intact." Jia Lei looked into her friend's eyes with a 'friendly' expression as she held back the urge to throw her out right then and there.
But with the entrance of a few more women, she was ultimately forced to set her friend down on the ground. Thereafter, the two of them stared at the three other women who tagged along behind Nuan He.
The first woman was the daughter of Duke Hollister and had long silver hair along with a dazzling pair of green eyes.
And then there was the daughter of Duke Hemmington—a woman over a thousand years old who possessed long brown hair and yellowish eyes.
Lastly, but not least, there was the daughter of Duke Doozle—a woman who was not only as beautiful as her friends but also had a unique appearance. Considering that her hair was black, medium-length, with one of her eyes black and the other a deep silver, she was definitely an exotic beauty.
However, no matter which woman it was, every single one of them, including Jia Lei and Nuan He, possessed a figure that had just the right amount of plumpness in all the right places. They truly showed off their superior genes as daughters of the highest-ranked people in Azura!
And every last one of them had their eyes hone in on the same man at the exact same time.
After which, as if on instinct, they all rushed toward him with a level of speed that far exceeded what they should be capable of exhibiting with their Gold-Rank Physical Existence Ranks.
"Amonroth, it's me! Su Ah! Don't you remember all the things we did in the City of Battle Ridge??"
"Don't listen to her, Amon; I am clearly the one who knows you best! Especially after that 'sensitive topic' you agreed to help me on… teehee~"
"You conniving bi*ch! What have you been doing with our Amon before we got here!?"
Qui Lan was this close to jumping Duke Doxing's daughter right then and there. Furthermore, it appeared like she wasn't the only one thinking along those lines, as Jingyi Yaling also had murder on her mind.
Even Nuan He was beginning to think that it would be best for all of them if they simply took Jia Lei out of the game right then and there.
By this point in time, the king and absolute ruler of the ground they stood upon had been pushed out of the way by the quarreling girls.
"..." "..." "..."
He, along with all the other nobles, stared at this scene with bewilderment.
"To think that the Marquis has already acquired the hearts of five women with some of the highest statuses in the Kingdom… And it doesn't even look like he's interested…" King Jing Fu commented on the matter with a face ripe with astonishment.
"We must do something about this, My King… I mean, we can't allow him to stay uninterested…" Duke Hollister muttered in an exasperated tone.
"Even without our coercion, our daughter's have been actively going after him, and yet he hasn't budged a single inch… And it makes me wonder: Do you perhaps think that he swings the other way?... Perhaps he likes to sword fight, dangle with the forbidden fruit... graze upon the Divine scepter-"
"We get the point, Duke Hemmington. And no, it doesn't seem like he's into that, as we have gained information that various beautiful women often come to him in the mountains where his territory is located."
Duke Doozle couldn't believe the drivel that came out of Duke Hemmington's mouth with all the nasty talk of 'swords'.
He looked toward his King for guidance, completely ignoring the input of the fuming Duke Doxing.
He had been a daughter-con since the very beginning. And with all of his daughters staring at the Marquis with such infatuation, it wasn't too surprising that he was seething in his spot while giving the man surrounded by women the most evil glare he could muster.
On the other hand, the King was too distracted with the subject concerning the alliance of Marquis Amonroth to care about the anger of his unusual friend.
There was no other way to cement their alliance than with their daughters' willing compliance...
And when you included the fact that they were already head over heels for him the moment they caught a glimpse of his galiant figure, they just needed to get the Marquis to accept.
But how…?
