918 Come One, Come All 3 (2/2)
The Dukes and Duchesses, as well as the Kitsune, were all from a 30th ranked quadrant. Dyon had already deduced this because Dukes and Duchesses of the 98th quadrant couldn't possible beat the like of Loki and the rest. In addition, Madeleine's mother was moon level alchemist! She was, without a doubt, among the richest individuals in the entire quadrant. Her being able to afford such a treasure was also within reason.
However… The Ragnor, Pakal and Uidah clans were all relatively newly established. Even when sending their top genius, Loki, to an unknown universe, the Ragnors hadn't been able to give him even one transcendent treasure, causing him to become greedy for Dyon's possessions.
Their quadrant was one that had even forgotten about its own Epistemic Tower! They were pitiful in terms of resources despite having the energy density of a once first ranked quadrant.
Despite his mind being at ease, and not allowing this to ruin his vacation, Dyon placed this Aritzia along side Emytheus among characters he would have to pay close attention to. He wasn't particularly angry with either of because they had yet to do anything to cross his bottom line, but their deviousness and cleverness put Dyon on guard.
In truth, if Aritzia knew Dyon thought this, she would only smile. She had been the first to state not to make an opinion piece, yet what had she done almost immediately afterward?
She knew exactly what she was doing. In fact, she had only written this article for one reason: in order to catch Dyon's attention.
Why? Because while Emytheus thought her list of potential husbands had expanded to two, in reality, to Aritzia, it was three. It was just two bad she didn't know that two of those three were the exact same man.
It had been decades since the last time Aritzia personally wrote an article, but this one truly swept the world up into a storm. Her name once again catapulted to the forefront, causing Emytheus to shake his head bitterly.
”It seems I'll have to speed up this war to become key wielder. If I wait too long, those two will think it's okay to have thoughts about my woman!” It was only after he read the article that Emytheus learned the list was three long…
Within a snow palace, Dyon couldn't find the mood to care about such things as he focused on loving his wives.
A man who wanted to compete with him over a woman he didn't even want?
A woman who thought she could one day steal him from his wives and make him take her name?
He didn't have the patience. If they wanted to test him, come one, come all.
Soon, the end of the fourth month came and the time for the Golden Flame Quadrant's campaigns was quickly approaching. It was about time for Dyon to go off on a new adventure.
