Chapter 348: 347 ’Getting married isn’t bad either.

"What’s wrong? Do you also find her unpleasant?"

Seeing Luoqi’s sullen appearance on the screen, Shane became interested.

However, Luoqi’s response was somewhat subtle.

"It’s not that I find her unpleasant, at least that’s what I think," Luoqi said, frowning helplessly, "It’s just that every time we meet, she clings to me and won’t let go. Despite the Empire’s delegation constantly advising her not to confront me, she taunts me every time she sees me, saying nasty things in an attempt to provoke me into dueling her. It really gets annoying after a while."

...Hmm? Isn’t this the same tactic the Princess uses when she meets us?

She uses this tactic on Luoqi too? A one-trick pony?

How clumsy...

"So, what do you think of her?"

Shane casually asked this question.

He was planning that if Luoqi really found Cappelin unpleasant, then he would teach that thorny princess a good lesson on behalf of his spouse.

Contrarily, Luoqi misunderstood his intention.

"Why are you asking this?" Luoqi squinted her eyes, somewhat defensively, "Don’t tell me you’re interested in her?"

Shane’s mouth twitched in response.

And Luoqi took Shane’s reaction as an acknowledgement, her gaze sharping immediately.

"Let me make myself clear," Luoqi said in an indisputable tone, "Whether you want to make a move on Tielle, Merica, or even Vivian, I won’t mind, but her alone is off-limits."

Luoqi issued an ultimatum.

"...So it’s okay with others?"

Shane initially wanted to correct Luoqi’s misconception, but hearing her statement, he couldn’t help but ask.

Please forgive him; he is a man.

So, this question was crucial and had to be clarified first.

Luoqi seemed to see through the indecency in Shane’s heart, her face full of disdain, yet she wasn’t angry.

"No matter what, you are a legitimate noble, whether for yourself or your family’s future, it’s normal to marry multiple wives or concubines. As a Royal Family princess, I certainly can tolerate that much."

Luoqi’s words made Shane feel for the first time that reincarnating into the Otherworld was a really great experience.

Why do so many people wish to be reincarnated into the Otherworld?

Isn’t it because you can openly have a harem here?

Shane thought he wasn’t the main character until this moment when he finally felt like one.

However...

"That Person is really not an option; I advise you not to entertain the idea of pursuing her."

Luoqi kept denying it, making Shane blink.

"Let’s not talk about whether I genuinely intend to make a move on her, but why exactly can’t I?" Shane asked puzzledly, "Didn’t you say that you just find her annoying, not that you dislike her?"

"But she really dislikes me," Luoqi stated bluntly, "If you’ve really met her, you should know what kind of fixation she holds towards me."

"She is very persistent." Shane didn’t deny it, saying, "Those who don’t know might even think that you two are the official couple, and I’m just a third party who interfered."

"Who’s a couple with her? What nonsense are you talking about?" Luoqi replied irritably, "I just want to tell you, the relationship between the Kingdom and the Empire is already very tense. After the incident with the ’Slaughterer Faction’ ten years ago, it became even tenser. If you consider bringing Cappelin Ragna into the family, imagine how complicated things could get?"

Certainly, it would create a myriad of complex and intricate issues.

"Besides the incident ten years ago, ordinary citizens aside, the Kingdom’s nobles have already prohibited marrying into Imperial Nobles secretly. Considering Cappelin Ragna’s fixation on me, think about how troublesome it would be if you pursued her."

Luoqi warned him like this.

"I don’t want you to become a point of conflict between two nations, nor do I truly want to be under the same roof with Cappelin Ragna, so don’t blame me for not warning you beforehand."

Shane took these words to heart.

After all, he naturally disliked trouble and even wanted to avoid Luoqi for it in the past, let alone a perennial second-placer and even bigger source of trouble. Shane definitely wanted to steer clear of it.

"I’ll just honestly trouble the virtuous women of the Kingdom; let the men of their own nation trouble the women of the Empire."

Shane unconsciously blurted out this thought.

"...As long as you understand, although I don’t know why, after hearing your reasoning, I feel even more like hitting you."

Luoqi was half relieved and half speechless.

All in all, Luoqi hoped that Shane would stay as far away from Cappelin as possible.

"Anyone with clear eyes can see her obsession with me, and it’s even bigger than anyone might imagine. Not only when she encounters me in person, but even when she comes across anything related to me, she focuses all her attention on it and tries her best to prove she’s stronger than me in every field."

Luoqi seriously warned.

"She must already know about your involvement with me, and since she knows, it’s quite possible she’ll proactively cause trouble for you. You really need to be careful, okay?"

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Your husband here has already beaten her up, I’m afraid she’s already holding a grudge.

Unaware of this, Luoqi continued to caution earnestly.

"If she causes trouble for you, it’s best not to confront her head-on."

"Her strength is formidable, not only does she have an imitation Holy Sword that took the empire five hundred years to forge, but her unique skill combines offense, defense, and support into a powerful force, enabling her to almost defeat the entire empire at adulthood, except for a few legendary beings above Level 90. An ordinary person can’t match her at all."

"Even I was challenged by her several times initially, and it was quite hard-won, requiring nearly all my strength."

"So, don’t think you can handle her easily, okay?"

Luoqi, like a worried and wise partner, kept giving advice non-stop.

Shane didn’t tell Luoqi that he had already won; instead, he just listened with an amused air as Luoqi spoke on.

He knew that, while Luoqi might be somewhat worried, she was by no means anxious.

Even though Luoqi still didn’t know Shane’s true limits, she understood his reserved nature better than anyone else.

Not only does he possess a Holy Sword much more powerful than the Mitra Holy Sword in his hand, but during that one incident with Galuo Li, while others thought it was You Lin who acted, Luoqi knew that Shane was the one behind it.

Besides, Shane is a true Hero, with Ai Yi and You Lin by his side. If something still went wrong, it would likely be because the plot crashed, the author went insane, trying to poison society and disgust the readers on purpose.

So, Luoqi’s words, though seemingly filled with concern, were really just needless worries.

But there’s nothing she could do about it, this Princess had already tried hard to get through a dull day, and now she finally had a chance to talk to her lover. Even if it was just needless worries, she was willing to endure it.

Understanding this, Shane didn’t bluntly tell Luoqi that she was simply wasting her breath, and that he had already defeated the Empire Princess. Instead, he sincerely listened to every word from Luoqi, spending a rather warm time with this seemingly flawless, yet genuinely simple, kind, and adorable little Princess.

Cappelin would never imagine in her wildest dreams that her greatly desired rival was actually just a poor little girl who feared loneliness, had to suppress herself to live up to others’ expectations, and struggled every day of her life.

Thinking of this, Shane’s gaze upon Luoqi gradually softened.

"Wh—why are you looking at me like that?"

Noticing Shane’s gaze, Luoqi started feeling somewhat shy.

"It’s nothing." Shane shook his head but then suddenly smiled, saying, "I was just thinking that marrying you might not be so bad after all."

"... Are you implying that you thought marrying me was a bad idea before?" Luoqi gritted her teeth a bit, as if wanting to bite something, and spoke in a displeased tone, "What changed your mind now?"

"Of course, it’s because of you." Shane shrugged and smiled, "If we get married, you won’t have to endure that dull life anymore. Once you enter my home, you can relax however you like and no longer need to hide yourself."

Upon hearing this, Luoqi fell silent.

After a while, the Princess murmured softly, "Actually, this is something I’ve been thinking about all along..."

That’s right.

In the past, Luoqi always thought she had to spend her life behind a mask, so much so that she was afraid to get too close to the opposite sex.

But now, Shane had become the only person who understood and knew her, even forming a substantive relationship with her.

In the future, if she married Shane, she wouldn’t need to wear a mask anymore, nor would she need to deal with those boring tasks. She could be with Shane and freely express herself.

Sometimes, thinking about such a future, Luoqi would even wake herself up laughing in her sleep.

Shane really found this girl adorable beyond words.

As the Kingdom Treasure and the first beauty of the Human Race, she displayed such a childlike demeanor, which could drive any man wild.

Luckily, he had successfully plucked this high and mighty flower.

"I really have fortune awaiting me in the future."

Shane looked forward to such a future as well.

But one thing at a time.

"After I’ve had my fill of adventures, I’ll marry you and bring you over."

"...Come here, let me buff you up."

Undoubtedly, that was a line she picked up from Shane.

Given the tendencies, this still childlike Princess might really transform into something unpredictable under Shane’s guidance in the future.
