After his verbal duel with a certain Goddess of Fate, Shien went to the royal palace.
His purpose was naturally to find Lucy.
“…Do you still remember that you have a fiancé?”
In her bedroom, Lucy looked at Shien, who had just entered, and said these words faintly.
Her tone was like that of a neglected wife.
Shien chuckled awkwardly.
He had indeed neglected Lucy lately.
“Well, I was trying to improve my strength.” Shien scratched his cheek and shrugged. “I gained so much from the inner sanctum. If I don’t work hard, wouldn’t it be a waste?”
Hearing this, although Lucy was still a little upset, she understood Shien’s actions.
Even though she didn’t know exactly what Shien had gained in the inner sanctum, judging from the fact that he could defeat her teacher, it must be something extraordinary.
With such gains, it was understandable that he would want to quickly improve his strength.
However…
“Half a month, a whole half month, besides asking me to find people to teach you skills, you haven’t stepped foot in my room…”
Lucy’s tone was still filled with resentment.
It couldn’t be helped.
After getting engaged to Shien, Lucy had finally been freed from her busy official duties and could finally relax.
Lucy had naturally looked forward to this, hoping that Shien would come and spend time with her every day, pampering her, and letting her live a happy life.
Who would have thought that for half a month, Shien seemed to have completely forgotten about her? How could Lucy not be resentful?
Shien also felt a little guilty.
Had this girl really become a resentful housewife?
It had only been half a month, and she was already this resentful. What if he left for a year or two?
“Alright.” Shien said resolutely, “It seems I need to work hard tonight.”
Hearing this, Lucy couldn’t resist blushing.
“That’s not how I want you to spend time with me!”
Lucy glared at Shien.
“It’s all the same.” Shien chuckled. “What? Don’t you want to?”
Lucy opened her mouth, then closed it again, blushing.
Actually, she did want to…
But couldn’t he be more tactful?
She was a princess, the Kingdom’s treasure, the most beautiful woman in the human world. Couldn’t he give her some face and not be so blunt?
Besides, wasn’t this all his fault?
If it weren’t for him, would she be like this?
Scumbag!
“What are you really here for?” Lucy asked faintly, “You’re not here just to accompany me, are you?”
…Such a resentful tone.
However, Shien also knew that he had been a bit obsessed these past two weeks and hadn’t really paid much attention to this princess.
Since that was the case…
“Haven’t you always wanted to go out and play?” Shien suddenly said to Lucy, “How about I take you out?”
Lucy was stunned, then her eyes lit up.
Heaven knew that because of her busy official duties and daily public appearances, Lucy hadn’t really left the capital much.
If it weren’t for this, this princess wouldn’t be constantly clamoring to go out and play.
Now, Shien actually said he would take her out?
Lucy was instantly excited.
“Wh-where are we going!?”
Lucy couldn’t help but lean forward and ask Shien eagerly.
Shien seemed sincere, resting his chin on his hand and thinking seriously.
He did have a place he wanted to go.
For example, the Empire.
Shien recalled something that happened half a month ago, when he was preparing to learn skills from experts all over the world and improve his strength. Ȓa𐌽ȮᛒΕʂ
