Having received Ye's answer, all other comments from today will be meaningless.

Night's answer was enough to keep Sigourney happy until the end of the banquet.

“Brother is handsome now too!” Saying this, Siguni looked at Ye, who was also dressed in a tuxedo and looked as handsome and elegant as a prince from a fairy tale. She lowered her head shyly and her earlobes turned red.

This feeling of my heart racing...

How strange! Do I have a fever?

Confused and bewildered, Siguni couldn't understand the inexplicable special feelings she had for her brother, especially after he dressed up a little, she found it even harder to resist being attracted to his handsome appearance...

She was just one more mental string about to snap when she was about to break down.

Perhaps Sigourney already knows where her current feelings come from, but how could she possibly dare to admit it?

Considering their identities, Siguni admitted that such thoughts were too stimulating for her, but even knowing that her current thoughts and state were extremely dangerous, she did not loosen her grip on Yoru's arm at all.

...And so, Night and Sigourney walked arm in arm into the banquet.

Upon entering the magnificent hall, the two soon saw Perthward and King Sonos at the head of the table.

Perthward shines just as brightly today.

With her white hair and beautiful face, she wore a gorgeous gothic dress like a little princess, truly looking like she stepped out of a painting.

No, she was a princess to begin with.

Chapter 162 [The Name of Twilight] My brother is getting married, but the bride isn't...me...?!

Her noble beauty, coupled with a dignified elegance and refined princess-like demeanor that belied her young age...

The striking contrast creates an allure that can easily trigger the perverse and sadistic side of men.

I want to knead and crush this docile and adorable thing, to play with it as I please; I want to destroy this exquisite angel, which is like a work of art...

Never underestimate the darker side of men. Perhaps it was this twisted mindset (desire) that led Woland to commit such atrocities in the myth.

What Ye considers a girl to be a bit petite, is actually considered quite attractive to Scandinavians at that age.

...As you can see, before Night and Sigourney arrived, almost all the men at the banquet were focused on Princess Perthward.

But at this moment, after Night and Sigourney entered, people's attention quickly focused on this side.

If you ask why—!

Can a single starlight compare to the radiance of the sun descending with starlight?!

Both Yoru and Siguni are very good-looking, with Yoru's looks being so striking that he's a man whose name is etched in mythology. He possesses a captivating charm that transcends gender.

And when the two stepped into the venue...

King Sonos above guessed Night's identity almost without thinking or needing to discern it.

Such a magnificent face and temperament—it's impossible for such an outstanding being to exist in his kingdom without ever having been discovered by him.

That would only mean they're outsiders... so—

He immediately said, "This must be the legendary hero who pulled out the holy sword and saved my daughter, right? As expected of a descendant of the great god Odin, you... are quite beautiful!"

The king's eyes held a mixture of amazement, fondness, and even a hint of possessiveness; under the influence of these thoughts, his words became somewhat subtle.

It's somewhat frivolous and inappropriate...

The closer you look, the more you realize... this brother and sister are really good! Really good!! What an unexpected delight!

Sonos had initially only considered the value of the elder brother's status as a Holy Sword Wielder, hence his high regard for the banquet. He never imagined that the siblings' appearances themselves would possess such immense 'collectible' value!

Sigourney's goddess-like beauty made Sonos take a deep breath. No wonder—her brother would kill that powerful Gothic king for her sake.

Night's appearance completely exceeded King Sonos's expectations; she was even more beautiful than Siguni.

No one had ever said that this man could be more beautiful than his daughter and Princess Sigourney!

Hiss, he even had an impulse that if he had been at that banquet with the sword in the tree that day, and if the one suffering from the difficulties was Ye, Sonos might have been unable to resist drawing his sword to help.

That's right, the target is Night, not Sigourney—if it were Night, even if it meant offending the Gothic King, he might not be able to resist drawing his sword.

Damn it—this isn't some beautiful young girl, it's a real man! He's actually developing a desire to conquer another man?! Hiss~!

Not to mention that Sonos began to doubt his own sexual orientation at this point.

At this moment, as the king spoke, the nobles excitedly crowded forward, continuously welcoming him.

The ladies' burning gazes seemed to be fixed on Ye.

He's so handsome, and he's the legendary chosen one, hero, and holy swordsman! With this double advantage, the nobles present were utterly powerless against this man.

Just as the nobles seemed about to swarm forward...

King Sonos: "Alright, everyone... stop blocking my distinguished guest! Today is the day I should properly thank my daughter's savior...! I am the one who should best entertain our hero."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Seeing that it was His Majesty the King who had spoken, the nobles naturally dared not stop him and retreated one after another.

Soon Sonos affectionately called Night and Sinise to his side.

After seeing Ye's face up close, Sonos felt even more astonished.

An idea suddenly formed in his mind, and without hesitation, he chose to try to realize it...

“I am the father of Perthward—King Sonos of this country.”

“Night. Czech Fred, as you can see—is a Holy Sword Wielder.” Night made no attempt to conceal his brilliance, nor did he show any humility, before acknowledging the identity of the Holy Sword Wielder.

Although this identity might be considered one of the least remarkable among the many roles he has played, the identity of the Holy Sword Master will certainly make him more famous.

The tone, which seemed to imply that he was just an ordinary knight passing by, startled the Sonos father and daughter.

“Czechfrid of Twilight? What a name a powerful warrior should have!” Sonos exclaimed after regaining his senses.

The name Night sounds like "dusk" to Scandinavians, and this is exactly the name Night uses in this world.

It's worth mentioning that—whether by coincidence or not—his name is Czech Fried.

Siegfried, also known as Siegfried, is the famous Siegfried.

However, considering that Sigmund's name can sometimes be translated as Siegfried, it is not uncommon in Europe for fathers and sons, uncles and nephews to have the same name - it can even be said to be a kind of inheritance.

But—with Czech Fred still wielding the holy sword Gram, the elements are practically complete!

Furthermore, given the powerful sense of heroic destiny he has already acquired from 'Odin, the King of Gods', who can say that he isn't living out Siegfried's script?

Getting back to the main point—after the introductions, King Sonis first thanked Ye for saving his daughter.

He then got straight to the point and asked Ye if he had any plans to stay in the kingdom so that he could better repay the other party.

That's right—that's the idea Sonos just had! He wanted to...—leave the night behind!

Then, Sonos suddenly spoke up: "I know you are still wandering outside because of killing the Gothic King, why not stay here? My hero!! You saved my daughter, and you are so handsome and powerful, and a prince from another country. With your status, strength and appearance, you are the perfect candidate to become Perthward's husband."

You and she are a perfect match! I am willing to give you Perthward in marriage, to provide you and your siblings with a place to live, in return for your righteous act. What do you say?

When Sonos suddenly mentioned such an important matter...

Perthward, the person involved, covered his mouth with one hand, completely stunned, and exclaimed in surprise, "Father...Father?!!"

Siguni, standing to the side, widened her eyes, then suddenly cried out anxiously like a cat with its fur standing on end: "No—!!! This? This is absolutely not allowed!"

My brother is getting married?

The object of his affections wasn't himself... cough—! It was actually the little white wolf that Perthward had casually rescued on the road?

She panicked; for some reason, Siguni suddenly became anxious as if she were being burned alive!

How could this be?

Chapter 163 Tell me loudly! Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?

Although, but... absolutely not!!

It is said that before the myths of the gods were even born, humankind had already begun to understand 'struggle'.

The struggle for survival, the struggle for reproduction, the struggle for the sake of struggle itself!

If a serving of food is only enough to feed one person for one day, humans at the beginning would indeed simply think that as long as they maintain a sufficient amount of food each day, that would be fine.

Life is such a simple and pure thing; it may not be very joyful, but it is also not very sad.

However, when the first humans in ancient times understood the benefits and convenience of having two portions of food at the same time, their thinking began to change.

Abundant food—the wealth of being able to eat as much as you want—that sense of satisfaction, beauty, and happiness is something everyone longs for.

They begin to have desires, and to fight in accordance with those desires—sloth, gluttony, lust—the fighting nature that is based on these desires is buried in the instinct of life from the very beginning.

In particular, it amplifies this fighting instinct and wildness to the maximum, which is the opposite of the Eastern approach of controlling the inner beast through self-cultivation. The West, on the other hand, advocates releasing the inner beast...

For food, for money, for territory, for beauty! For family, for beauty! For country, for beauty!

Finally—for the beauty! For the beauty! For the beauty!!!

That's right! Humanity's most primal struggles will eventually be assimilated into the same goal—a catastrophic war born from the struggle for beautiful women!

What an absurd reality! And who is the most beautiful woman in the world right now in this Nordic country?! Speak it out!

At this moment, it was as if the girl, who seemed to awaken from the depths of her DNA and soul, possessed a powerful, perverted desire originating from Odin, had her eyes sparkling with fire.

"To protect one's brother's chastity..."

When such a thought arises and becomes incredibly strong, it's like a wild beast whose territory has been invaded, ready to fight to the death to defend its interests!

Sigourney stood in front of Night, coldly rejecting the marriage proposal on behalf of her brother.

"Brother, he will never like your princess. If you ask why...!"

At this moment, her fighting spirit was unwavering; her delicate and weak nature had vanished completely. Only the resolute and decisive young woman remained, staring sharply at the king before her, and then coldly declared, "He is the man who drew the holy sword and killed the Gothic King for my sake!!"

"For the man I love—a man who dares to defy the world! There is no room for a third party in the face of this love!"

When the young woman announced loudly throughout the palace... the banquet suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared in astonishment... completely stunned.

what?

He said it!

In a moment of impulsiveness and a rush of emotion, I blurted it out! Once spoken, words are like spilled water—impossible to take back!

At this moment, Siguni's face suddenly turned pale, and after shouting, the energy disappeared. Then, belatedly realizing what she had done, she suddenly felt her blood run cold.
