Chapter 1000 Suggestion
Chapter 1000 Suggestion
King Blumur knew how ambitious the Three Elves Race was. Letting them in the royal family was like inviting a lion to devour them. It's unpleasant, but even with his authority, he couldn't oppose the decisions of the ancestors.
Who would want to let in a tiger in their place? Unless King Blumur was dumb, he wouldn't let them in if only he had the power to do so.
"So you will just watch me get married to an asshole like that?" Fiarra was full of indignation. How could their ancestors sell her to that man?
Abyss Scion was infamous for being vicious towards his dao partners. His infatuation for the princess was only because she was beautiful. But what if he got fed up and no longer wanted her? The princess' life would be miserable.
Not to mention, the man was reeking with unfaithfulness. For sure, he would have many wives, not just her.
"Fiarra, watch your words." King Blumur said with a firm tone, "I will try to get you out of the marriage but for now, go along with it."
"I won't." Fiarra flatly declined, "If I have to marry a bastard like that, I would rather die then."
Fiarra didn't like to be forced to do things. She already agreed with having the throne to keep the cycle going. The best thing the Thousand Elf Kingdom should do was to let her choose her own path in life.
"You have no choice. And I don't have a choice, either." King Blumur said, "You are going to marry him and that's final."
Knowing that this talk was useless, Fiarra left the room with a hard slam on the door. She was too frustrated that she didn't want to say more lest she would hurt her father.
She understood that her father was powerless against the decisions of the ancestors but shouldn't he at least console her and assure her? Instead, he pushed and pushed that she should get this marriage done for the benefit of their kingdom.
Seeing his daughter leave, King Blumur deeply sighed as he smiled weakly. He thought that he was a useless father for not being able to give what she wanted this time.

"Young Noble, can you help me?" Fiarra had sought assistance from Jin Rou. She was her last hope of turning things around, "I know that I'm being too impudent but please help me, just this once and for the last time."
Jin Rou's help would be truly table turning against this decision. After all, he was the type to get under everything control by force.
Fiarra had explained to Jin Rou what happened and detailed it more.
"What a bunch of bastards!" Andreo couldn't help but curse as he listened to the story, "How could they give their princess just like that?"
Jin Rou smirked and said, "Because of pressure."
"Pressure?" Fiarra was confused.
"Your kingdom's ancestors have dirt that they didn't want to leave the darkness. For sure, Three Elves Race has gotten something that can put intense pressure on your ancestors." Jin Rou explained. It was natural and mostly done in lineages.
When you had one's weakness, you could exploit to your advantage and that's what the race was doing. For them, as long as they have that card, they wouldn't lose out.
"What could possibly this dirt be?" Andreo asked.
"Who knows? It might be a dirt that could terrify even the heavens. Since they agreed, that something must be astonishing." Jin Rou chuckled, "And Three Elves Race has always been ambitious in the past and never changed, so doing this is natural for them."
"Will you help me, Young Noble?" The princess asked with pleading eyes, "I will do everything to pay it back even if I have to sell everything."
Jin Rou shook his head, "It's not enough. But since you've served me well, I will help you."
What the princess had would never be enough. After all, Jin Rou's help was worth more than that. But he was willing to help her out of appreciation and the service of the lady for being his personal maid.
"Thank you, Young Noble!" Fiarra was relieved as she hugged Jin Rou tightly. With Jin Rou here, who could force her to do this bs marriage?
"Go, return to your room and rest." Jin Rou smiled, "Attend the meeting tomorrow with the Three Elves Race, don't worry. I'll be there."
The race had sent an advance notice five days prior that Abyss Scion and Treemountain Ancestor would be visiting the kingdom personally to talk about the marriage in full and deeper details. Since it was a grand occasion, they were preparing for it with great efforts.
"Yes, Young Noble." Fiarra left the room with a sweet smile. She could sleep well despite the lion coming here tomorrow.
Andreo was also relieved. He thought that the Young Noble wouldn't poke his nose into the beehive. After all, they were in the territory of the kingdom. But it seemed that he didn't give a damn about being in the lion's den.
"Andreo, isn't Fiarra beautiful?" Jin Rou said.
"Uh? Yes, Young Noble." Andreo was confused why Jin Rou asked that. Obviously, Fiarra was beautiful, extremely at that. He drank a bottle of water afterwards.
"Why don't your Immortal Dynasty and the Thousand Elf Kingdom form the marriage alliance instead?" Jin Rou suggested. He really meant it.
Hearing this, Andreo almost splashed the water from his mouth, "Young Noble, don't joke around like that. I'm not planning in marrying."
"Drop the monk ways of your dynasty and think of someone as a potential dao partner. From what I see, you are perfectly suited for Fiarra. If you just show your real face, I doubt that she might even decline it." Jin Rou said.
Andreo shook his head, afraid that someone was listening, "Please, Young Noble. I really don't plan in marrying so the lineage of our dynasty will end. I just want to die alone and in peace."
Jin Rou chuckled, "If your ancestors heard you, you will get intense spanking from them."
