The banquet was still going on when Rhode and Marlene returned to the banquet hall Their departure didn’t catch too ht that they had just gone out for a stroll Some of them knew about their relationshi+p and they believed that Rhode one out to accompany and console her After all, the rewards she had received weren’t co nobles, which left her depressed inevitably However, perhaps no one could i in the majestic and sacred Golden City…

Many nobles approached Rhode and praised him for his swordsmanshi+p At the same time, they were also interested in his past contributions Some consulted him on how he had cultivated this wonderful swordsmanshi+p while some were more amused by the construction of his Fortress in the Land of Atone noblewo After all, everyone could see that this young ht future ahead after Lydia conferred hidoe But come to think of it, they weren’t astounded as to why Lydia had els ere as flamboyant and vicious as her, anyway

It appeared seely reasonable for special ones to experience extraordinary situations

But politics was cruel

The young nobles forced Marlene out of their way as they warmly crowded around Rhode and none of those who admired her in the past went up to speak to her However, they couldn’t be blamed for this behavior because, no matter what, it was bizarre that her rewards were this uniht possibly be due to the dissatisfaction of the Royal Fa overly powerful Lydia’s desire to doels, but what about the Senia Faies, it could be said that they had doest fadom, they were unlike the two other faed in intere with Royal Family members and they maintained their pure bloodline If this happened in another nation, where a powerful noble fae with the royal faone Fortunately, the past rulers of the Munn Kingdoels and they didn’t have much desires for authority On the other hand, the Senia Fa closely with the Royal Family too, so no one dared to shoot their mouths off

But it was different now Lydia valued authority and prestige heavily and disapproved of anyone froenerously Could this be the start of a threatened monarchy?

Many nobles kept a respectful distance away fro tree that towered into the sky and with roots that infiltrated every corner of the earth Therefore, it had been a long while since the Royal Fath However, the other noble faths were incoest families and this was the best chance for the nobles weren’t as concerned about their families’ future as their elders Since Marlene had clearly expressed that she belonged to Rhode and they had witnessed the tragedy of Antonio fro recklessly, they wouldn’t be that foolish to risk their lives…

Marlene leaned on the wall and gazed at the crowd that ar a resentful and furious expression, she revealed a gentle smile It wasn’t a fake smile that a noble had to express in order to enuine one Then, a frail voice sounded beside her

“You seehted, Marlene?”

“Father”

Marlene turned to the Patriarch of the Senia Faaze to Rhode once again

“That’s right, Father Look, this is the first time that I didn’t receive any attention in a banquet with no one currying favors or confessing to ht that such peaceful tiht choice to turn down Royal Highness Lydia’s reward If future banquets would stay this way, perhaps I ht even miss such times”

“Hahaha”

The elderly aze Then, he nodded and continued

“Have you told him about your decision?”

“Not yet, Father But I can guess what’s on his er Serves hi This is also a ser and placed by her lips cheekily “When that day coht? Rhode is so to waste if he notices anything strange”

“That’s for sure, Marlene You’re hter than to help you?”

The elderly hter with a gentle gaze before letting out a long sigh

“Marlene Frankly speaking, after bringing you up for all these years, I never expected that I would say this to you Go and do whatever you want… As long as you like it…”

“Saoes for me, Father”

Marlene lifted her head

“I’ve never thought that this day would cos to the family and it’s my duty to carry out the responsibilities of what the family asks of me But now, I don’t feel that it’s a heavy burden Instead, I feel fortunate and blessed, which is ht”

The elderly pondered before nodding with a gentle slint

“By the way, Marlene I’ve heard froht? I can send our Alchemists to help if you wish to”

“No, Father”

But, before the elderly man finished his sentence, Marlene interrupted firmly

“Rhode is a proud man and he doesn’t like to receive help from others Besides, I have my own solution Our family doesn’t need to step in for now because I’m sure that Rhode has sensed that we didn’t approach him because ere simply attracted to him Moreover, I’m sure that Rhode would believe it after this incident Perhaps ill need to tell him the truth one day, but it isn’t the tiabout me, our Senia Family and him…”

Marlene bit her lips and complicated emotions flickered in her eyes
