Chapter 176: The King's Proposal

...

The Duke's and King pondered the matter of their alliance with Marquis Amonroth deeply as they thought over anything that might work. Eventually, Duke Doozle proposed something plausible.

He said, "I've heard rumors about the Marquis when he was in the Royal Capital selling all his spoils of war, and from what I hear, he will do anything for even the slightest amount of benefit."

"Benefits?" They all questioned in unison.

"Yes, benefits! If what is said about him is correct, then we just need to maximize his benefits!"

Following Duke Doozle's response, he started throwing around various ideas that could work. And eventually, the other Duke's and King Jing Fu gave their own input as well.

It was only after it had been 5 minutes since their daughter's arrival that they put the plan into motion.

-

"I already told you before we got here that I would be first!" Nuan He exclaimed while interlocking her arms with the aloof, crimson-haired man beside her.

"You must be out of your mind if you think that I'm going to let you do it first! I shall be the one to do that thing!" Su Ah retorted, her arms locked with Amonroth's, and her eyes glaring at the woman getting a little too clingy with what was hers!

"Surely you all jest-!" The other women were going to cut in as well, but before they could, King Azura interrupted, saying:

"I know you all wish to enjoy the party, but we should really give the young Marquis some room."

While he convinced the girls to let Amon get some air, he made sure to send a voice transmission to the man in question. He said, 'Go up to the third-floor balcony in a few seconds, as we have some things to discuss.'

After which, the King managed to get the girl's away from the center ballroom by telling them that the Marquis promised to dance with them all. Of course, they had to 'prepare', so they left for a bathroom right away, all while quarreling even up to the last second they were still in view.

While the various nobles' daughters were doing that, Azmodeus and the King greeted a few more people out of courtesy before heading up a flight of stairs. They walked toward a dimly lit corridor that led to an overhanging balcony with a clear view of the numerous Spirit Ships outside.

The moment they made it up there, it was discovered that the two of them weren't alone, as behind the balcony doors, there were…!

"Hello… We meet again…"

The 4 Duke's!

One of which looked like he didn't even want to be here, but under the continued persuasion of his friends, he made the sacrifice—a sacrifice that nearly killed him on the spot.

"Oh, so it's you four? Is this some sort of secret meeting of the Assembly… Or?" Azmodeus's eyes glossed over as he realized what was going on here, and that realization only made his expression lighten up even more than before.

"..." "..." "..."

The King and the Duke's had forgotten how perceptive the young Marquis was, as it only made them understand that they needed him on their side, no matter the cost!

Jing Fu wasted absolutely no time on that matter as he got right down to it and said, "We have a joint proposal for you, Marquis Amonroth, and this offer could mean extraordinary things for you as long as you accept it.

The contents of this proposal are as follows:

One: I will give you access to the Storage Treasury, where you can pick any five things that tickle your fancy. And the four Duke's here will give you ownership to any ten businesses they own, excluding the ones directly related to their positions, of course.

On top of that, we will also be giving you 500 Quintillion Azura's from my side and 50 Quintillion per Duke, for a total of 700 Quintillion Azura's.

Furthermore, that isn't all that we'll be giving you, as we've heard that you have a knack for Alchemy, Formations, Arrays, Potion Refining, and Spirit Blacksmithing. With this information, we figured it would benefit not only you but the rest of the Kingdom if you took over the position as Arch Professor at the Royal Academy of Azure.

If you do end up taking this position, you will not only become a figurehead who teaches the new generation and the old generation. But you will also receive the opportunity to acquire resources for each of these professions at a level that even I, as the King, can't hope to give you.

And with the full support of the Double Leafed Mithros Sect, you will be able to extend your influence and send out requests for more resources. We know you've already been doing but were limited due to your status.

Additionally, you and your fief will also be allowed to expand your lands into the Forbidden West, which is where the extremely powerful Primeval Beasts live.

But with your strength, I doubt they pose even the slightest threat. So how about it? Are you willing to accept the offer?"

Not only King Azura, but the rest of the Duke's—besides Duke Doxing—were expectantly waiting for an answer.

However, before they received the answer they wanted, Azmodeus had something to ask first:

"And what is it that I will have to give you in return? Nothing is free in this world; even I know that much."

"..." "..." "..."

King Azura and the Duke's just knew the astute young Marquis wouldn't be obtuse enough to accept a lucrative-sounding proposal like that, expecting nothing in return for their side.

So in the end, Jing Fu stepped forth and responded, "The only thing we want from you is the marriage of our daughter's to be left in your hands."

"You want me to find husbands for your daughter's…?" Azmodeus questioned with a raised brow and his head slightly tilted to the right.

"...No… We want you to take all of our daughter's as your wives…" King Azura replied after pretending he didn't hear anything previously.

...…
