Night deepened.
As the full moon hung high in the sky, the Kingdom of Mitra gradually quieted down.
The nationwide engagement banquet ended just like that.
However, with the news spread by the dignitaries, the inside story of the engagement banquet also began to circulate throughout the night.
By tomorrow, the Kingdom, and even the other nations of the human race, would know how exciting tonight’s engagement banquet truly was.
There would definitely be no shortage of rumors about Shien.
From now on, Shien was officially the future “prince consort,” his status and position once again changing, becoming someone others looked up to.
Under such circumstances, Shien, along with Airi and Lilith, returned to the Buztout mansion on Yulin’s back.
The members of Vivian’s squad had already returned and seemed to have gone back to their rooms to rest.
Leisha and Lasha seemed to have returned as well. According to the maids, they seemed to have returned furtively and hurriedly, then hid in their room and didn’t come out again.
“It’s not easy to make that young lady feel scared.”
Shien gloated a little.
He knew that Leisha must have been frightened by the appearance of Lildas, Anima, and even Sara.
After all, not long ago, this arrogant young lady was captured by Anima, trapped in the Divine Realm, and almost couldn’t return. As a former member of the Old Demon Faction, she wouldn’t dare to appear openly before Sara, the supreme ruler of the Demon Race, and Lildas, the strongest of the Divine Race. It was only natural for her to be scared by their appearance.
These three wouldn’t be as lenient as Airi and ignore her. Therefore, Leisha definitely wouldn’t dare to appear before these big shots.
“See if you still dare to be so arrogant, thinking that being a Spatial Magic user allows you to run around and cause trouble.”
Shien felt quite pleased about this.
As for Airi and Lilith, the two little girls seemed to be sleepy already. As soon as they returned home, one rubbed her eyes and went back to her room, the other fell asleep directly in Shien’s arms.
“Let me take her.”
Lasha appeared silently and took the sleeping Lilith from Shien’s arms.
Before Shien could even say a word, Lasha left with Lilith, her face impassive, leaving him stunned, almost unable to react.
“Forget it.”
A lot had happened today, and Shien didn’t want to bother with meaningless things, so he let Lasha take Lilith away.
Lasha seemed to have special feelings towards Lilith, taking good care of her, as if she was very experienced and had taken care of many children before. Her proficiency even made Shien wonder if this amazing maid was secretly running an orphanage or shelter somewhere.
Well, it was also possible that she was.
Why?
She would probably say,
“That’s a meaningless question. As a qualified maid, I naturally have to serve others perfectly.”
How true.
Shien ignored everything else, went straight to the bath, quickly took off his restrictive ceremonial attire, and soaked in the hot water.
“Phew… I’m alive again…”
Leaning against the warm wall of the bath, Shien exhaled comfortably.
Only then did Shien realize that he was actually quite tired.
“Getting up early in the morning to prepare for the engagement banquet, communicating with the people from the palace, and choosing clothes for the evening, how could I not be tired?” ŕànÓbĚş
Especially when there were hundreds of outfits to try on, it was truly a painful experience.
Fortunately, he had an amazing maid at home, who possessed the unique skill of undressing and dressing someone in a second, and taking care of their appearance in another second. This greatly reduced the pain of the process. Otherwise, Shien felt that he might have fainted and wouldn’t have been able to attend the evening engagement banquet.
“But the engagement banquet was also quite eventful…”
First, he had to put on a fake smile and greet others, then he had to face the bombardment of the big shots, and in the middle, he was even startled, experiencing what “divine might like a prison” meant, and witnessing the most powerful existence of the current era.
Although this strongest existence ended up being a klutz, her presence and pressure were undeniable.
Recalling the feeling of “unrivaled” he had when he first saw Lildas, Shien suddenly felt that he wasn’t as strong as he thought.
Of course, compared to most people in this world, Shien was undoubtedly very strong.
At least, Shien didn’t think he would lose to anyone below the level of the Three Goddesses and the Six Demon Lords.
Even Aldia, the current strongest human, Shien was confident he could defeat.
Even without using the Holy Sword, fighting Aldia head-on, Shien had a chance of winning.
The problem was…
“Not good enough compared to those above, but more than enough compared to those below.”
That was the situation.
Shien’s current situation was just like that: not good enough compared to those above, but more than enough compared to those below.
Against those below the level of the Three Goddesses and the Six Demon Lords, Shien was practically invincible.
However, against those at the level of the Three Goddesses and the Six Demon Lords, Shien felt that he couldn’t defeat any of them.
