Capítulo 2167: Chapter 1463: Invitation (Ti Truly Flies) _2
“…Alright, I admit you have a point.”
Duanmu Huai shrugged helplessly. He understood what Ann ant. Everything Greiya now possessed was almost entirely based on the Tribunal, and the nation of Dragonkin she had built was no exception. Therefore, Greiya would definitely marry Duanmu Huai to maintain the fruits of her efforts — which was the purpose of the political marriage from the start, so it was not surprising.
Even if they didn’t marry, Duanmu Huai would still treat Greiya as a friend and companion, but from Greiya’s perspective, she probably wouldn’t feel at ease.
After all, a wife and a companion are different.
Duanmu Huai didn’t have much of a reaction to this. He hadn’t experienced any earth-shattering romances before, and their relationship was more about spending a lot of ti together, getting along well, and finding no issues with one another, so it was easy to accept — just that simple.
No vows of eternal love, no unforgettable passion.
Since they knew each other well and found each other agreeable, and were willing, then there was no problem.
Otherwise, what else was needed? Like a romance novel where an accident causes Ann to lose her mory and Duanmu Huai remains steadfast?
Or Greiya gets hit by a truck and Duanmu Huai sacrifices himself to save her?
Not to ntion, if the truck were to hit Greiya, who knows who the unlucky one would be! A Dragon Roar would just send it flying.
“Great!”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, Ann excitedly raised her hands and jumped up.
“Now we can formally set up the harem!”
“Set up a harem? Whose are we talking about, yours or mine?”
Seeing Ann’s ecstatic expression, Duanmu Huai felt that her actual motive was probably this all along.
“Oh, Mr. Knight, that’s not how it works. Since I’m marrying you, I’m your wife, so what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours. We’re a couple, what’s the difference?”
Goodness, so you want to make the harem community property between spouses?
Do I need to add your na to it too?
Duanmu Huai shook his head speechlessly.
“So, when’s the wedding?”
“Once everything is over… No, after the Ether Synchronous Engine is built and the plan succeeds.”
Though that sounded like setting a flag, Duanmu Huai didn’t mind, after all, this was a gamble for him too. Whether he won or lost, it wasn’t certain to him. But if the plan succeeded, it ant his mission as a Judge was ending… Well, it was probably ti to think about his own matters.
“Then it’s settled!”
Looking at Ann’s chubby-cheeked face in front of him, Duanmu Huai chuckled lightly and reached out to pinch her cheek.
“Yeah, it’s settled then.”
At that mont, Duanmu Huai indeed felt a hint of a sweet, romantic atmosphere.
But only at that mont.
Once he returned to the Tribunal, he imdiately regretted it.
“Listen up, everyone, Mr. Knight and I have agreed to marry after this!”
Ann waved a list excitedly as she shouted to everyone. The crowd showed different reactions to Ann’s announcent — but it was clear that Ann was not there to declare dominance. Because the next mont, Ann darted in front of Greiya and took her hand.
“Greia, I’m getting married, you’ll marry Mr. Knight too, right?”
“Oh, ah, yes… that’s my plan…”
“Alright then, let’s sign here first, and we’ll have a group wedding then!”
“A group… wedding?”
“Yes, everyone getting married together is much more fun!”
“Everyone?”
“Exactly!”
Facing Greiya’s surprised question, Ann nodded with certainty, then turned to Mary.
“Co on, Mary, do you want to sign?”
“Huh? Miss Ann? This, I…”
Looking at the list and the feather pen Ann handed over, Mary was baffled, completely unaware she’d been roped in — and they even skipped the whole dating confession part, going straight to the marriage registry?
That’s way too fast!
“Lorena? What about you!?”
“Huh? ? I’m a nun, serving the Deity, so I can’t…”
“Oh co on, Mr. Knight is a Deity too, isn’t he?”
“Well, you have a point…?”
“Then Ogis, what about you?”
Ann turned her head toward Ogis — who, as usual, was perched on Duanmu Huai’s shoulder after his return.
That was her fixed spot.
But in the face of Ann’s invitation, Ogis resolutely shook her head.
“No way.”
“Ah? I thought you’d be thrilled to marry Mr. Knight.”
“Hmph.”
Hearing Ann’s words, Ogis snorted softly, then stretched out her hand, embracing Duanmu Huai’s head, staring at Ann.
“You and the master are only at this level of a relationship.”
“And what’s your relationship?”
“……”
Ogis didn’t answer, simply lifted her head confidently with a victorious expression.
As for what she was thinking, Duanmu Huai chose not to ask. This little jacket might just stab him in the back later, sothing he couldn’t handle.
“Then I’ll go ask others…”
“Hold it right there.”
Duanmu Huai couldn’t stand it anymore and grabbed Ann by the neck, lifting her like a kitten.
“This is a wedding, not a dinner outing. Are you checking to see who has ti?”
“Hehehe…”
“Stop these antics, everyone is shocked. There’s still ti, no need to rush.”
“You’re right, considering Mr. Knight might bring a few girls back too! Then we’ll register together!”
“……”
Is that what I ant?
“Beep beep beep…”
Just after settling the commotion with great difficulty, Duanmu Huai’s personal terminal rang with a notification. He glanced at it, then answered the call.
Then Dada Niel’s voice ca from the other end.
“Your Honor, the Judge! Sothing big has happened!”
“Alright, what now?”
Hearing Dada Niel’s plea for help, Duanmu Huai’s expression remained unchanged as he casually cleaned his ears. This rchant Voyager seed to find him every ti sothing happened. When Duanmu Huai had cleared his communications before, most of the distress ssages were from Dada Niel.
ssages like [Your Honor, the Judge, sothing’s happened, help!][Never mind, it’s resolved, Your Honor, no need to worry][Tribunal, save us, sothing’s happened!][No need to bother the Tribunal, sorry for the trouble]…
To be honest, to Duanmu Huai, Dada Niel felt like Sha Heshang from “Journey to the West,” always repeating similar lines.
“Big brother, sothing bad, master was captured by a demon…”
“Big brother, sothing bad, both master and second brother were captured by a demon…”
It’s pretty much like that.
“Tell , what demon is it this ti?”
Duanmu Huai yawned. He had just helped Dada Niel sort things out thoroughly with the Nakians, and soon after, what could it be now?
“A rchant group from the Outer Star System has co here, wanting to do business with us!”
“Oh? From the Outer Star System?”
Hearing that, Duanmu Huai got a bit more interested.
“Are you sure?”
“I’m not sure, that’s what they said, and I don’t know if they’re impostors…”
“So you want the Tribunal to intervene, right?”
Duanmu Huai knew Dada Niel too well, naturally understanding why he sought him out.
“Yes…”
“Fine, I’ll take a look. What’s the rchant group’s na?”
“It’s called… the Interstellar Peace Company?”
