Chapter 999: Grand Wedding!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lights were blazing in the Princess Royal’s palace and all the subordinates under the Princess Royal commanded the people to celebrate. The second prince was dead and the Princess Royal’s biggest rival was gone. Next was to wait quietly.

However, Merlin felt that the Princess Royal was getting ambitious. She no longer wanted to wait several years to become King.

“Authority…”

Merlin shook his head helplessly. He had no feelings for authority. In the Void Zone, he was even the person with the highest authority of a huge civilization but what use was that? The strong could destroy a huge civilization in an instant.

Authority was merely how the weak hoped to control the strong. Real strength did not have any interest in authority at all. For example, the elders in the royal family as well as Farron had no special preference for authority.

Even Doomsday had entrusted his subordinates some affairs to manage. When the strong stood at the peak, which one of them would lust after authority?

However, the Princess Royal was not strong. Even if she inherited the royal family’s top-tier almighty beast bloodline, reaching the fourth-form was her limit. It was impossible to make a breakthrough and become a full-shifter.

That included the current King. He was also a fourth-form shifter and could not reach the level of a full-shifter. After all, full-shifters who had top-tier almighty beast bloodlines were quite terrifying even if they just became a full-shifter. They would be second only to Farron, who had developed his Supreme Talent to the limit.

“Leon, tell me. Who else can stop us now?”

The Princess Royal’s lips were smeared in red. In the dim candlelight, it looked scarlet and alluring. However, Merlin saw the desire for power and authority in her eyes!

“Stop us?”

Merlin shook his head. Now, the only one who could pose a threat to the Princess Royal was Farron. Although Farron could not hurt Merlin, Merlin could not hurt Farron either.

“Lisa, I think you should calm down for now. At best, I can only be evenly matched with Farron and his prestige in Phantom is currently higher than mine. If we fight for real now, our chances of winning aren’t very good.”

Merlin felt that it was necessary to burst the Princess Royal’s bubble.

The Princess Royal smiled thinly and calmly said, “Don’t worry, Leon. I’ve waited for so many years, so what’s a little longer? Farron has been Phantom’s Intelligence Team’s Minister for many years. Moreover, his potential has reached its peak and he can’t make any further progress. However, you’re different. You still have a lot of room for growth. Leon, tell me. What do you need to continue to grow in strength and completely suppress Farron?”

The Princess Royal seemed to have made up her mind. All her hopes were pinned on Merlin.

Merlin frowned. The Princess Royal seemed to trust him a little too much but when he thought of how the King had trusted Farron in the same way, he felt at ease.

“The royal family won’t worry about outsiders usurping power or threatening the royal family because they have great power themselves. Perhaps, those hidden elders are even stronger than Farron!”

Merlin was surprised. The royal family did not seem to be very strong on the surface but they still controlled the key departments and authority despite the current chaotic situation of the empire. This already demonstrated that the royal family was extraordinary.

Currently, there was no trouble in the Holy Dragon City. This was the manifestation of the royal family’s control.

Merlin pondered. Perhaps he could use the Princess Royal’s forces to obtain some almighty beasts’ will, especially the ones sealed in the royal family’s treasure vault as mentioned by the second prince.

“I only need almighty beasts’ will now and a large number of them. If possible, I heard that there are a large amount of sealed almighty beasts’ will in the royal family’s treasure vault.”

Merlin told the Princess Royal truthfully that he needed almighty beasts’ will to strengthen himself. Perhaps Farron had already guessed it. It would no longer be a secret in the near future.

“A large number of almighty beasts’ will? That’s somewhat difficult. I can’t enter the treasure vault even if I’m king in the future, much less now. It’s guarded by the elders of the royal family. No one in the royal family is allowed to enter until a special period.”

Merlin was slightly disappointed although he already knew the answer. The Princess Royal could not enter the treasure vault even if she became king.

Seeing Merlin’s disappointment, the Princess Royal hesitated for a moment before saying, “Although I cannot take you into the treasure vault, I can order my men to look out for some almighty beasts’ will and inform you as soon as they find anything.”

Merlin nodded. That was all they could do for now.

Then, Merlin bid farewell to the Princess Royal and left the palace.

Since the second prince’s death, the palace had been strangely quiet and calm. Nothing was happening but Merlin knew that under this peace, a terrible storm was brewing.

However, Merlin appeared to be very relaxed and was even happy. He would be married today with Count Altadin’s daughter, Lady Baratha as well as Lady Reese.

This was a marvelous occasion in the entire manor. Many families who did not follow him from Boulder City even came from afar.

“Who would’ve thought that Leon would be a Marquis now. He even seems to have a high status in Holy Dragon City.”

“If I had known, I would’ve followed Leon and the others to Holy Dragon City, so I didn’t have to suffer in Boulder City.”

“It’s too late. We couldn’t leave our property in Boulder City…”

These people were full of remorse. In the beginning, they did not follow Count Stanwin to Holy Dragon City and chose to remain in Boulder City. Although Merlin later took Boulder City back, they were no longer people who could enjoy the core benefits of the clan. They had become the subfamily.

“Her Highness the Princess has arrived!”

Suddenly, someone recognized the Princess Royal from outside. Although the Hilderbrandt clan knew that Merlin was extraordinary, they did not expect that even the Princess Royal would personally come to congratulate Merlin on his marriage.

“Marquis Leon, congratulations!”

The Princess Royal’s attire today was very solemn and noble, making people feel inferior and afraid to approach her. However, when she looked at Merlin, she always seemed to adopt a “playful” look.

Merlin was somewhat helpless but bowed respectfully to express his gratitude. Then, he took Lady Baratha and Lady Resse and began the formal wedding ceremony.

The ceremony was complicated but everything went smoothly. From then on, Merlin’s formal wives were Baratha and Reese.

After the ceremony was over, the Princess Royal met Merlin alone. A smile appeared on the Princess Royal’s lips as she said, “Marquis Leon, your two wives are very beautiful. You must cherish them well. Originally, I didn’t want to disturb you today but this item might be very important to you. You can consider it a big wedding present from me to you!”

Then, the Princess Royal took out an oval reddish stone.

“What’s this?”

Merlin frowned. He did not see anything special about this reddish stone but if the Princess Royal was so serious when giving it to him, it should be rather valuable.

“Use your almighty beast’s will! It’s rumored that only Hosts can know the secrets of this stone.”

The Princess Royal shrugged. Even she did not know the specifics of the stone.

“Could there be a sealed almighty beast’s will inside?”

Merlin guessed upon seeing the mysterious smile on the Princess Royal’s face.
