Chapter 565 The Emperor Wants to Marry Princess Lana!

"Lord Negan, I really don't understand why our Holy Kingdom doesn't try to win the command position of the Allied Forces."
The Slane Theocracy's campaign against the undead was precisely to gain greater prestige among human nations, making it easier for us to recruit followers in the future.

"Fool, do you think that position of commander-in-chief of the allied forces is a sweet job?"
You've probably all heard about the strength of Ainz Ooal Gown and his crew, right?
The vampire progenitor you encountered earlier was just one of them.

If you were the Magic Kingdom, what would be the fastest and most effective way to demoralize the Allied Forces?
Let me tell you, it's about assassinating their commander! And given Ainz Ooal Gown's methods, who in the Theocracy do you think can withstand their assassination attempt?

After hearing Negan's nonsensical reasons, the captain of "Dark Scripture" pondered for a while and ultimately said nothing more.

Because if those highest priests of the Six Colored Holy Scriptures of the Church were to take on such dangerous positions, those cowardly old folks might not be willing to take such risks.

On the other hand, after the conference of nations concluded, Gilkenif persuaded Seiya, who was preparing to leave, to stay and proposed marriage to him.

Of course, the marriage proposal Gilkenif made could not be to Seiya, but to the kingdom's "Golden Princess" Lana.

According to the previous agreement, as long as Ainz Ooal Gown and the Sorcerer Kingdom can be successfully defeated this time, the Baharus Empire will become a vassal state of the kingdom.

And his emperor, Gilkenif, will become the Duke of Gilkenif.

To prevent his power from being further eroded, and to strengthen his ties with the kingdom and make the kingdom more at ease with him, Gilkenif, after much deliberation, finally came up with the plan of marrying the kingdom's golden princess.

Even if a duke becomes a vassal state of the kingdom, he still has more than enough status to marry a princess of the kingdom.

The "Golden Princess" is renowned for her intelligence and is indeed a suitable partner for bearing outstanding children.

Of course, the main reason why Gilkenif chose the "Golden Princess" was because Princess Lana was Seiya's sister.

Gilkenif had heard rumors that although Seiya and Princess Lana were not biological siblings, they had the best relationship within the kingdom's royal family.

Now, the former second prince of the kingdom, Zanak, has become the new king, while Seiya is now the king of the demi-human race in the demi-human kingdom.

No one knows better than Gilknefer how brutal the power struggles within the royal family can be.

Don't be fooled by the current brotherly relationship between Zanak and Seiya. Once Zanak understands the strength of the Demi-human Kingdom, he will inevitably become more wary and even fearful.

And often, the cracks of distrust are widened by suspicion in this way.

Once the kingdom falls out with Seiya, then his opportunity will come.

Given Seiya's status as his "brother-in-law," and the relationship between Princess Lana and Prince Seiya, it's perfectly reasonable for him to stand on Seiya's side against the kingdom, and for Seiya to help him restore the empire's independence.
What? You're asking why I don't side with Zanak, since he's the rightful heir?

That's because Gilkenif felt that Zanak was no match for Seiya at all!
With their individual strength, methods, strategies, and the forces under their command, what can the Kingdom and Zanak possibly use to fight against Saint Zai?
Even if the kingdom really falls out with Seiya, he, Gilkenif, doesn't need to take sides; Seiya can crush them on his own.

As for Gilkenif, he simply wanted to win by taking advantage of Princess Lana's relationship.

"You want to marry Lana?!"

Seiya was stunned by Gilkenif's request, because this development was something he had never expected.

"Is there something amiss? Does Your Highness believe I am unworthy of the title 'Golden Princess'?"

"That's not quite right. The main thing is that this engagement depends on Lana's own wishes..." That's what he said, but Seiya felt that Gilkenif probably had no chance, because if he remembered correctly, the yandere girl was in a rather morbid love for her bodyguard Clem.

Despite Gilkenif's talent and good looks, Lana simply wasn't into him...

At the same time, Seiya couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Gilkenif, who had previously planned to marry the Holy Princess but was rejected.

Now he wants to arrange a marriage with Lana, but that will most likely fall through again.

Now that he's been rejected by the Holy Princess of the Holy Kingdom, and then by the Kingdom's "Golden Princess," Seiya is worried that his repeated rejections might lead to some bad rumors circulating about him.

"Your Majesty, Lana's personality might not be suitable for you, given your qualifications..."

Seiya actually quite admired the Blood Emperor, and it was because of this little butterfly that the Empire became the scapegoat for the Kingdom.

Seiya felt a pang of guilt for making someone take the blame and now putting them in a difficult situation, so he was just about to offer some words of advice.

But before he could finish speaking, Gilkenif interrupted him, saying, "Your Highness, I understand what you mean."

However, as members of the royal family, they often have little say in their marriages.

Love and such are things I no longer yearn for in this life, for I have already dedicated everything to this country.

Gilkenif thought that Seiya had seen through his intentions, which was why he spoke up to persuade him.

However, for Gilkenif, the identity of his betrothed was no longer important; what mattered was that his marriage would bring benefits to the empire.

Hearing Gilkenif's resolute tone, Seiya's bewildered expression froze on his face. Finally, he sighed slowly and turned to leave.

I can't persuade them, I really can't persuade them!

This guy is so depressed, what can he do?
In the Kingdom of Ri-Estize, after Albedo, the representative of the Sorcerer Kingdom's delegation, arrived in the royal capital of Tiel, Zanack held a banquet to welcome her, as a sign of respect for the Sorcerer Kingdom.

At the banquet, the kingdom's nobles, who had previously been suppressed by Zanak and Seiya, were now showing great goodwill towards Albedo, as if they had been given a second spring.

One reason for this is that Albedo herself is extremely beautiful.

On the other hand, it's also because Albedo's status in the Magic Kingdom is comparable to that of a prime minister.

The nobles of the kingdom may not know much about what kind of country the Magic Kingdom is, but its strength is undeniable.

After all, the empire that was declared at war has been in a panic lately, and has even sought assistance from other countries everywhere.

This shows that the Bahars Empire itself is well aware that with its own national strength, it is simply impossible to defeat the Magic Kingdom.

Is the Bahars Empire weak? You're kidding, they're an entity that has been waging war against their kingdom for years.

A kingdom is equivalent to an empire, and a magic kingdom is even larger than an empire. If we convert it this way, wouldn't a magic kingdom be stronger than their kingdom?
