Anyone would think of their home. Even when she was in the Orthodox Academy, living the happiest period of her life, Luoluo would still often think of him, think of her father, think of her mother, think of those big fellows in the Red River and the birds on the Celestial Trees.
She naturally wouldn't consider this wrong, but…
”Very good. At the very least, you are willing to believe that I did not do these things out of my selfish desires, even though you now believe that I am doing this for the Great Western Continent.”
Madam Mu calmly said to her, ”I will not deny that the Great Western Continent is my homeland, but both your maternal grandfather and grandmother have already taken their leave of this mortal coil, so do you really think that I would still value the Great Western Continent over White Emperor City? The rumors are false; how could I marry you off to your cousin?”
Luoluo was stunned by these words.
Although she did not have much real power to speak of, she was still the sole Princess of the Demi-humans. She had an extremely high status within White Emperor City, and the members of the Council of Elders, including the Xiang clan elder, had always doted upon her. Even if she didn't make any efforts to inquire, many matters would still be impossible to hide from her.
For instance, in the matter of this marriage, she had been able to easily find out that the source of this rumor was a guard of the Abyssal Pearl Pavilion, and this guard was one of Madam Mu's most loyal subordinates. It was precisely for this reason that she had never doubted the veracity of the rumor… Mother is not planning on marrying me off to Cousin? Then what did the Great Western Continent's diplomatic mission come here for? Why did Chief Elder send someone this morning to notify me that Second Cousin's name has already been registered for participation in the Heavenly Selection ceremony?
”This matter is the will of both me and your father. For the sake of safety, we have spoken of it to no one, including you.”
Madam Mu continued, ”In a little while, the Heavenly Selection ceremony will begin. I think that will also be the time to tell you.”
Luoluo asked, ”Mother, just what is it?”
Madam Mu rubbed her head and said, ”Of course, it's still your marriage.”
Luoluo was very nervous, inexplicably feeling somewhat anxious.
”Guardian Jin's words were not wrong, and nor were the Chief Elder's. You yourself know more than anyone else… His Holiness the Pope truly did repair your meridians. As long as you are given enough time, you will definitely be able to cultivate the techniques of the White Emperor clan to their peak, becoming the next White Emperor.”
Madam Mu's expression turned grave as she added, ”But I and your father are worried that there is not enough time.”
Luoluo replied, ”I don't understand Mother's meaning.”
Madam Mu said, ”You are the sole Princess of the Demi-humans, so you should do some things for this place.”
Luoluo understood and fell silent.
Ever since she was little, she knew that she had a duty to bear.
Chen Changsheng was also well aware of this point, so he had never requested her to do anything.
If the Demi-human race was in a bad state, she would need to make a contribution, and there was not much time for her to mature into the new White Emperor.
Then she would have to be like the princesses over the countless years, seeking gains for the Demi-human race through marriage.
This was her marriage: a marriage alliance.
Her mother had done the same.
”Marry to Xuelao City,” Madam Mu said, staring into Luoluo's eyes.
