Chapter 686: Her Majesty's Daring Thoughts
Chapter 686: Her Majesty's Daring Thoughts
In truth, the gowns and jewelry adorning Medis were not arranged by Yecheng but were instead the initiative of Alpha and the Shiyue Merchant Guild.
Medis never expected that instead of becoming a laughingstock, she would become the center of attention at the tea party, surrounded by admiring ladies.
The noble ladies started by discussing Medis's attire, but when it came to the so-called "fashion culture" in the royal capital, Medis was clueless, feeling lost in their conversation.
As the chat continued, the ladies revealed their intentions and began talking about Yecheng.
Upon hearing praise for her proud son, Medis instantly became alert and enthusiastically boasted about Yecheng's excellence.
Unintentionally, the noble ladies in attendance became interested when they learned that Yecheng was currently unattached.
Soon after, several younger noble ladies appeared before Medis, each trying their best to showcase their docile nature.
Initially confused, Medis, as a border baroness, wasn't foolish. She quickly realized why the ladies were being so courteous to her.
To be honest, as a mother, Medis naturally hoped for Yecheng to settle down and start a family.
The noble ladies before her were indeed impeccable in terms of temperament, figure, and appearance.
However, Medis recalled that during their trip to the Sacred Ground, Yecheng seemed to have a few female classmates he got along with, aside from his childhood friend Clara.
Since it concerned Yecheng's marriage, Medis refrained from making decisions on her own. Consequently, she struggled to cope with each tea party.
A few days later, when Yecheng returned home from Mage Swordsman Academy for a break, escorted by the family servants, he was stunned by the luxurious mansion before him.
He remembered renting a small building in the royal capital for his mother to stay in.
But what was this extravagant mansion? Was it the same place he had rented?
"Flora, what's going on here?" Yecheng asked, turning to his childhood maid.
"Well... this mansion is indeed currently under Yecheng's name.
It's said that the Queen Consort gifted it to Yecheng and Medis as a token of gratitude for saving her daughter, and since Medis had no place to stay in the royal capital..."
Upon hearing Flora's explanation, Yecheng was speechless.
"I must lose in the first match of the God of War Festival and make it a crushing defeat, showing these nobles that I'm all talk.
Otherwise, my life will become a mess if this continues!"
The God of War Festival, or 'God of War Festival' in the local language, was a martial arts tournament hosted by Midgar, the kingdom's grandest event, attracting powerful warriors from other kingdoms on the continent.
Yecheng had no intention of participating, but his direct superior, Alice Midgar, wanted to test him after hearing about his performance at the Sacred Ground. She took it upon herself to register him for the tournament.
In the face of the willful First Princess, Yecheng found himself powerless. All he wanted was to live a simple life, but someone was forcing him to put on a show.
Exhausted, Yecheng returned home to find his living room occupied by not only his mother, Medis, but also Clara, Alekxia, and Roze, all engaged in lively conversation with her.
Upon learning from the trio that Yecheng was preparing for the upcoming 'God of War Festival', Medis expressed her delight and decided to stay in Medis Omega's territory for a while.
With the kingdom's grand event underway and her son participating, she wasn't going to miss it.
Poor Gais, Yecheng's father, had received a letter from his wife informing him of her return half a month ago. After waiting for several days, he received another letter telling him to sleep alone again.
In the letter, Medis also mentioned Yecheng's popularity and how well-liked he was in the capital.
Regarding the potential daughter-in-law, Medis specifically recommended Clara, Alekxia, and Roze.
When Gais read Medis's letter, his heart sank. He never imagined that his son, whom he had sent to the capital for training, would become so well-connected. Now, not only did Yecheng hold a higher title than him, but he was also close to the First Princess!
The Medis Omega family was small, and despite Gais and Medis's efforts, they couldn't provide Yecheng with a younger brother or sister. Naturally, Gais hoped that Yecheng would start a family soon.
But the issue at hand was his wife's outrageous expectations!
Clara was one thing; the Kagano family was also a border baron family, and she and Yecheng had grown up together as childhood sweethearts. Gais approved of their potential marriage.
However, Alekxia was the second princess of the Midgar Kingdom! Although Alice, the first princess, was in line for the throne, it was still a princess.
As for Roze Oliana, Gais hadn't heard of her, but with the surname Oliana, she was likely a princess from the Oliana Kingdom.
Medis's trip to the capital must have gone to her head if she considered two princesses as potential candidates!
They were a baron family, not a ducal family. How could they dream of marrying princesses, let alone two of them? It was absurd!
"Lord Night, I have an important matter to report regarding this 'God of War Festival'."
As soon as Yecheng returned to his room, a blue-haired girl with twin tails, dressed in a black bodysuit, and a figure enhanced by slime, knelt before him.
"Epsilon, are you here to tell me that Sid, that tyrant, is also participating in this 'God of War Festival'?"
Yecheng spoke up, testing the waters, as he knew Sid's character well and suspected he wouldn't miss an opportunity to show off in public.
"Um... Lord Night, Sid is indeed planning to compete, and there's something else.
According to our investigation, members of the Diabloros Sect may also participate in the 'God of War Festival', and they are likely targeting the Lake Holy Sword in your possession."
