King of Titans and Dragons
Chapter 1105 - 1105 1092 Ill Marry You in the Next World

Chapter 1105: Chapter 1092: I’ll Marry You in the Next World, Really! Chapter 1105: Chapter 1092: I’ll Marry You in the Next World, Really! “…” Muria glanced at Ferdinand, somewhat perplexed about what kind of mindset his father had to utter such words, wondering just how worried he was about him not finding a wife.

“As the former king of Gai Nation, do you think it’s appropriate for you to say such things?”

“But as a father eager to see his son find a partner, it’s quite appropriate,” Ferdinand said with a smile on his face, feeling that he had worried too much for his son, though it was mostly to no avail.

“You’re asking me to consider it, so do you want me to marry the Crimson King?” Muria asked in a somewhat strange tone.

“That is for you to decide. My suggestions cannot sway your choice,” Ferdinand answered ambiguously, for a change.

“Don’t you understand what my identity is now? If I choose to unite with the Crimson King in this manner, then our nation will be subjected to the nations ruled by the Crimson King. Are you not worried about this happening?”

“I’m not worried,” Ferdinand responded decisively, his voice filled with firmness and without a trace of hesitation, “I believe you won’t let such a thing happen.”

“Because you have confidence in me, you hope that I will join with the Crimson King as a couple, right? You don’t care at all about the process,” Muria said, roughly understanding his father’s line of thinking.

“Exactly, I only care about the result. The process doesn’t matter,” Ferdinand admitted outright, nodding his head.

“Even if I, as a monarch, marry another nation’s ruler, it doesn’t matter to you?”

“That’s not something for me to worry about, it is for you to consider.”

“I understand. Since that’s the case, I should mention something to you beforehand, so you won’t be too surprised later. This time, whether I marry the Crimson King or she marries me, the nations ruled by both of us will merge into one entity, becoming a new, stronger country.”

“Really?” Ferdinand’s face showed surprise. At this moment, Gai Nation had developed far beyond what he had expected during his ambitious reign.

He knew that under his son’s rule, Gai Nation would become even more powerful, far beyond his imagination, but he had not anticipated that this day would come so quickly, nor in such an unexpected way.

“Do I have a need to deceive you?”

“Haha, what an invigorating piece of news,” Ferdinand stood up and began to pace excitedly around the palace after receiving Muria’s affirmative response, “The news of the union between you two monarchs will surely make all the subjects of both kingdoms leap for joy.”

“Congratulations to His Majesty, our best wishes to His Majesty,” said the corpse servants who had transformed from the nobles and ministers currently handling state affairs for Muria. They exchanged looks and then prostrated themselves before His Majesty to congratulate Muria.

As Gai Nation became increasingly powerful, these corpse servants, regardless of their discontent, could only keep their grievances deep in their hearts, daring not to reveal the slightest bit, for replacing them would be an easy task for Muria.

“Enough, get back to what you should be doing. You know I don’t like this sort of thing,” Muria said, shaking his hands. His face did not betray any impatience. Although he had grown somewhat tired of listening to flattering words since becoming ruler, such words would not provoke his anger.

“Becoming one nation is a great idea!” Ferdinand was still unusually ecstatic, but his expression quickly changed as he turned to Muria with a serious look,

“A nation can only have one voice. If there are two voices, it will inevitably lead to division. You must become the one who has the sole authority to speak.”

“But if those two voices agree, it’s no different from one voice,” Muria replied somewhat helplessly as he saw Ferdinand already imagining the scene of their two nations merging after his marriage to Michaela.

“No, no, it’s different. I know you feel that your opinions are mostly aligned with those of the Crimson King, but with your own wills, living together for a long time, disagreements are bound to arise.”

“Don’t worry, we won’t have disagreements. Besides, nothing’s set in stone yet, not even who will marry whom,” Muria reassured.

“For that kind of issue, if the Crimson King insists, then as a man, you should take a step back,” Ferdinand advised.

“I am not just a single man eager to marry, I am also a king holding the destiny of a nation. My every move affects the livelihoods of millions.”

“You’re really troubled by this. After all, you want to marry her, not to be married off,” Ferdinand hit the nail on the head.

“You consider your subjects; you don’t want to go there and let our nation’s subjects feel inferior. That’s a good mentality. But you have to consider too that the other side might have the same concerns. No one wants to be seen as inferior for no reason, right?”

“That’s true,” Muria nodded. In a world with a system of extraordinary powers, strength is revered. And in this world, women as a whole are slightly weaker in overall strength, therefore in the subconscious of people, men are considered superior.

“In that case, don’t bother about who marries whom. Aren’t you going to establish a new nation? Just relocate the capital and jointly build a new capital city, and then you can get married in the new capital.”

“Good idea!”

“Since you think it’s a good idea, why not go discuss it with the Crimson King right away?”

“Understood,”

…

“Relocating the capital, building a new city, followed by marriage, is this the answer you have given me after all your thinking?”

Michaela looked at the demonoid avatar that was circling around her, which was gradually weakening due to her powers, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

“This is the most moderate approach, I believe our subjects can accept this outcome, by then even if we announce the merger into a new nation, they won’t feel too much resistance and the transition can be completed smoothly.”

“We are getting married, and you’re actually contemplating these issues? Considering what those mortal things might think?” Michaela was somewhat surprised.

“We are kings, and it is a king’s duty to strategize for governance. Being a king, one should do what a king ought to do.”

“Muria, you have already become an epic, but you still haven’t adapted to your identity as an epic, you don’t have the slightest bit of an epic’s demeanor.”

“What should an epic look like? Indifferent to the vicissitudes of life, the changing eras, and then remain placid and unmoved?” Muria’s avatar, forged from the body of a ghoul, showed a smile.

“This isn’t Elasia, and the nation you rule is not called Senapus,” Michaela reminded Muria.

“But I am a king, the king of the Gai Nation,” Muria sighed internally. When it came to the attitude towards mortal things, Michaela’s perspective had always been different from his.

Michaela was born into the Blazing Sky God Race that inherited the Ancient Divine Bloodline, her raw bloodline potential made her the number one prodigy of the Blazing Sky God Race the moment she was born.

Michaela, born supreme above all spirits, looked upon mortal things with an eye that could be described as… devoid of any feeling.

The gap in the hierarchy of life between her and mortals was even greater than that between humans and ants. Thus, mortals regarded her with as much distinction as air.

Due to her bloodline, she would not deliberately harm any mortal, but equally, due to the vast difference in the planes of life, she would never consider issues from the perspective of mortals.

“Forget it, all said and done, you’re just rejecting my proposal, aren’t you?” Michaela didn’t belabor the point with Muria but returned to the original question.

“I didn’t reject it, I merely proposed a compromising marriage plan,” Muria corrected the mistake.

“You don’t want to marry me, do you?” Michaela still pointed directly to the crux of the issue.

“I haven’t,” Muria felt a headache coming on.

“You just want me to accept your proposal.”

“…” Muria fell silent.

“Ha!” Michaela let out a cold laugh, “Alright, I accept your plan.”

“In the next world, propose to me and I’ll marry you!” Seemingly realizing his wife’s dissatisfaction, Muria made a promise without thinking.

“You said it!” Michaela’s expression changed immediately, as she stared at Muria’s avatar with a serious look.

“I did,”

“Fine, we’ll see how you do when the time comes.”

…

The news of two powerful monarchs uniting in marriage swept across the world like a hurricane, leaving every nation that heard it stunned.

Many powerful overlord-level nations felt threatened, for the Radiant Kingdom that Michaela ruled was one of the strongest countries in the world.

And the other, the Gai Nation, was reportedly newly risen but rumored to be no less powerful. Such a merger between these two nations was a formidable threat to any country in the world, and all kings felt the pressure keenly upon hearing the news.

As the world was stirred with unrest and change due to this news, the citizens of the two nations were also agitated by it, for anyone with sense could foresee that their lives would undergo drastic changes due to the union of these two monarchs.

The most direct change was the announcement that the well-known capital was to be relocated, and the reason was that their king had chosen to build a new city to complete their grand marriage. This, unquestionably, was to be the most significant symbol of the merger of the two nations into one.

The commoners at the bottom were thus unsettled, and the lords and ministers of higher status were even more insecure, for the establishment of a completely new nation would necessitate a new, effective administrative system, and all that was established would need to be overturned and rebuilt.
