T/N:
I made a mistake in previous chapters with these two characters (Lumia and Lia). Now that Lumia has appeared more times, I’ve realized it. I got confused since both names share the same last character, and I was using ‘Lumia’ for both. If you didn’t find these errors, it’s because I’ve already fixed the previous chapters (14/12).
Lumia is a member of Vivian’s adventurer squad.
Lia is Lucy’s older sister and a princess of the Mitra Kingdom. (Her full name is Lia De lla – Liadella or Liabella) – The author mostly just call her Lia
Also, Lucy will be formally referred to as Roselucia in some moments. This is because Roselucia is actually her full name, similar case to her sister

“What? Announcing the results now?”
That day, Shien had just arrived at the palace, entered Lucy’s bedroom, and met with her. Before he could even get close… ahem, before he could even say a few words, Lucy told him this news, stunning him.
The “results” Lucy mentioned naturally referred to the results of the husband selection competition.
Yes.
Lucy was preparing to announce the results.
In other words, the Kingdom was preparing to announce to the world that Lucy’s future husband was Shien.
This was only natural.
“After you caused such a big commotion, how many people still think they can compete with you?”
Lucy said, a little annoyed.
Since the Lucica family incident, Shien had officially entered the sights of the major powers, earning their apprehension.
Before, Shien’s fame wasn’t based on his personal strength, but on his various achievements and feats, coupled with the “rumors” about his relationship with Lucy and Airi. ℞aΝô₿ƐⱾ
But this time, Shien had completely revealed his strength, showcasing everything he could, except for what absolutely couldn’t be exposed.
Airi, one of the Six Demon Lords, the Dragon Demon, had officially become his supporter.
He also had powerful figures like Yulin and Lilith by his side.
Moreover, he had displayed Celestial Magic and astonishing strength, as well as some connection with the Goddess of Nature. The current Shien, although his status might not be as high as many others, was unmatched in his uniqueness.
Nobles?
He had already destroyed several, all of whom were top figures in their respective countries.
Dignitaries and royalty from various countries?
They were just a small part of the vast human race. Could they compare to the Divine Race and the Demon Race?
Having the support of both the Divine Race and the Demon Race, possessing sufficient personal strength, and several powerful figures by his side, who in the human race could compare to him?
No one!
Therefore, when many nobles prepared to establish a relationship with Shien, they were actually admitting defeat, giving up on competing with him for Princess Lucy’s hand.
Shien himself also felt that the once omnipresent hostility in the capital had almost vanished, and the remaining hostility was from those who dared not speak up.
At least, no one dared to block his doorstep and challenge him to a duel anymore.
Shien could now walk openly on the streets. Although he attracted some attention, it was no longer the hostility and suspicion of the past, but fear and apprehension.
This showed that Shien’s status in people’s minds had indeed changed.
Therefore, Lucy felt that it was time to announce the results.
If she announced it now, no one would question it.
After all, if even the current Shien wasn’t worthy of Lucy, then no one in this world was.
Of course…
“Those noble young masters probably won’t give up so easily, right?”
Shien thought.
He knew Lucy’s charm very well.
The most beautiful woman in the human world being given away like this, Shien didn’t think those young masters would be reconciled to it.
The reason why simps were simps wasn’t just because they were humble, nor was it just because they had no bottom line, but also because they were like real dogs, incredibly clingy.
Let alone young masters, even ordinary commoners, if they became simps, they would do anything for their goddesses, without any self-awareness.
For example, Treece of Jeritte, wasn’t his foolish son just such an idiot?
Shien believed there must be many simp noble sons who were unwilling to see Lucy taken by him, this pig… no, this handsome devil!
Therefore, even if they didn’t dare to openly cause trouble for him, they might resort to some underhanded methods.
Shien didn’t think they would obediently accept their fate.
When it came to the goddess in their hearts, simps could become irrational at any moment.
Therefore, Shien was prepared to make an example out of a few more fools and completely scare away those with ulterior motives.
However, Shien forgot one thing.
“Those spoiled sons of nobles might be unwilling and try to continue causing trouble, but their elders definitely won’t allow it.” Lucy curled her lip. “No one wants to become the second Lucica family, so the heads of those noble families have recently given strict orders that no young members are allowed to cause trouble for you, or they will be expelled from their families, or even executed on the spot.”
