This is the remnant of the ancient Olympic gods, a dreamlike paradise island isolated from the world and free from worldly strife!

Paradise Island!

……

On the beach where Paradise Island meets the open sea.

A group of wild female warriors, dressed in ancient Greek-style leather armor and wielding bows, arrows, metal spears, and other cold weapons, watched as an unknown entity rapidly approached from the near sea, forming a water arrow trajectory. They all raised their shields, drew their bows, and pointed their cold, sharp spear and sword tips outwards!

The leading female general sat on the back of a strong black horse, holding a silver longsword. Her face was resolute and cold, and her exposed muscles were bronze. She had a domineering and murderous aura that far exceeded that of most men!

Just as the Amazons were preparing to attack the intruders.

As the intruders drew ever closer, the female general suddenly shuddered and shouted, "Everyone, drop your weapons!"

"General?" "This..."

The female warriors were puzzled, but they still obeyed the order and put away their weapons.

Tread!

An intruder—no, two intruders—arrived at the beach of Paradise Island from the outer seas at an extremely fast speed.

Upon seeing the woman adorned with the distinctive crown of the Amazon royal family, the Amazon warriors on the field were stunned. Then, they collectively placed their hands on their chests and knelt on one knee, displaying their loyalty and support with overwhelming emotion.

"your Highness!"

"Your Highness Diana, is that you?" The female general dismounted from her black horse, her whole body trembling, and asked incredulously.

Diana put Shinian down from her arms and, unable to hide her joy, quickly stepped forward: "Yes, Antiop, Aunt. I'm back."

The two embraced tightly.

Xinian smiled and wisely stayed to the side, not disturbing his aunt's reunion with her relatives.

Antiop's usually stern face was now full of smiles as he patted Diana on the back and said excitedly, "Good, good, it's good that you're back! Your mother, the entire Amazonian people, and I have been eagerly awaiting your return!"

"Mother, is she alright?" Diana asked softly.

“Very well, but I’m also very worried about you.” Antiop smiled and urged, “Hurry back to the palace with me so your mother and people can see you!”

"Antiop, wait a moment." Diana shook her head.

At this moment, the Amazons on the field all turned their attention to Shinian behind Diana.

"Humans?"

Many female warriors subconsciously revealed sharp, hostile gazes.

“Your Highness Diana.” Antiope looked at Xinian nearby, his face returning to its previous serious indifference: “You should know that Paradise Island is off-limits to outsiders. Especially not a human male!”

Antiop then asked Shinian, "Who are you?"

“I, I am…” Xinian hesitated for a moment. Facing the female general Antiop and a group of fierce and cold Amazon female warriors, he suddenly didn’t know how to explain his identity.

The most appropriate name would be Diana's adopted son.

In fact, Xinian had always instinctively rejected the identity of being an adopted son, so he called Diana "aunt" since he was a child, and Diana tacitly agreed to this title.

However, if he doesn't use his adopted son status or identify himself as a relative of Diana, he obviously won't be able to get past the Amazons.

Just as Xinian was hesitating, Diana stepped forward.

Diana offered no explanation; her exquisitely beautiful face remained calm. Standing close to Xinian, she suddenly raised her hands and removed the magnificent crown that symbolized her status.

"Your Highness Diana, what do you want to do?!"

Antiop seemed to realize something and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Ignoring Antiop's words, which seemed to be trying to stop her, Diana smiled slightly and, under the shocked gaze of the Amazon warriors, placed her silver crown on Shinian's head.

hope Nian blinked, unable to understand what this meant.

Chapter 40, You Are Her Monarch

On the beach of Paradise Island.

General Antiop and the Amazon warriors, their faces showing shock, confusion, or anger, all fell silent.

Without needing much explanation, the Amazonian princess Diana made her stance clear when she placed her divine artifact, the Crown of Starlight, on the head of a human man.

“His name is Xinian, Xinian Prince,” Diana said softly, as if announcing something.

"Uh, good afternoon, the weather is really nice today... Um, it's nice to meet you all." To avoid an awkward silence, Xinian, wearing a crown, took the initiative to wave and greet the female warriors warmly.

However, no one responded to his words, and the arena became even more silent.

hope Nian stopped waving his hand, a chill running down his spine. He felt utterly embarrassed—it was truly an embarrassing situation.

This is so embarrassing!

“Even so, without the Queen’s order, he cannot enter the main island of Paradise Island.” Antiop’s chest heaved, his fists clenched, and his eyes were icy as he looked at Xinian.

hope Nian suddenly felt that this look was somewhat familiar! Hmm, it was very similar to the way Officer George often looked at him!

“I know, I’m going to see Mother right now.” Diana nodded and said, “Antiop, could you please arrange accommodations for Shinian in the archipelago next to the main island? He’ll be staying here for a few days.”

"no problem."

Faced with Diana's request, Antiop, however unwilling, finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

“Xinian,” Diana turned to Xinian and said softly, “Go with my aunt, Antiope, to the accommodations that have been arranged for you. I will come to see you later after I have met with the Queen Mother.”

"Okay, go ahead." hope Nian agreed, thinking to herself that it was just like coming to a tourist island with not-so-good tourist services, nothing serious.

"Come with me." Antiop glanced at him expressionlessly, then mounted his black horse.

……

Far from the royal palace and the dwellings of the Amazonian inhabitants, Paradise Island sits on a cliff overlooking the open sea.

Here stands a huge and peculiar ancient round building.

Antiop led Shinian to the main entrance of the ancient building.

Looking at the complete building that resembled the ruins of an ancient temple, hope Nian said with surprise and doubt, "Is this where I'm supposed to live? Actually, it doesn't need to be this nice."

Antiop, riding ahead on his black horse, ignored them and went to the entrance of the ancient building. He said to the female guards in silver armor standing on either side of the entrance, "Arrange a spare guard room for him."

"Yes, General!" The two female guards at the gate quickly accepted the order. They looked curiously at the first human boy who came here, but when they saw the familiar crown on the boy's head, they immediately showed the same shocked expression as the female warriors before.

Why are you looking at me like that again?

Xinian muttered to himself, completely baffled by the meaning behind the magnificent crown he was wearing.

"Keep an eye on him, don't let him wander around." Antiop tossed this sentence to the female guard, then left Xinian alone at the entrance of the ancient building, and rode away on his black horse without ever exchanging a word with Xinian.

After Antiope's swift and decisive departure, leaving a trail of dust.

One of the female guards respectfully said to Xinian, "Your Highness, please come in with me."

Your Highness?

hope Nian paused for a moment, watching the female guard walk into the ancient building, and suddenly felt that the people here were still very polite.

hope Nian followed the female guard through the entrance, and the further they went into the building, the more they felt something was wrong!

The interior walls of this ancient building are unbelievably thick, with no doors or windows, and the only main entrance is a cramped passageway only two meters high.

It was less a residence and more a secret place for imprisoning prisoners or storing goods.

"This is it." The female guard led Xinian but did not enter the center of the building. Instead, she stopped on the side of the passageway. As she pushed a brick, a hidden door in the wall slowly opened, and countless loose dust particles fell down.

"Cough cough."

The female guard and Xinian coughed for a while, and when the dust settled, a dark blue hanging lamp on the high wall of the inner room behind the hidden door lit up automatically.

Look inside along the light.

Inside, there was a small, square room, less than twenty square meters in size. The room contained a weapons rack and two very simple beds; besides that, there was nothing else.

hope Nian's lips twitched slightly. The small black room was one thing, but the weapon rack and the bed were covered in a thick layer of dust, indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment, let me clean it for you." The female guard waved away the dust in the room and said apologetically, "This room was originally designed for the guards who would keep watch here at night when this building was first built. But later, most of the guards stationed here were withdrawn, so it has been empty and has not been cleaned."

"Guard? Guard what?" hope Nian was a little confused. Did they put him in a detention center? Or were they going to treat him like a criminal and lock him up instead of a human being?

“It’s just an item,” the female guard said as she tidied up. “It’s located at the deepest part of this building, but there’s nothing much to see. I’ve been guarding it for about ten years, while before me, our Amazonian people had been guarding it for over a thousand years.”

"Is it alright for me to stay in such an important place?" hope Nian became increasingly anxious. It needed to be guarded closely for thousands of years. No one would believe there wasn't something wrong with this place!

"It's nothing. As long as it doesn't leave, it's fine. It hasn't shown any abnormalities in the past thousand years, so don't worry." The female guard shrugged and said, "Besides, you are the monarch of that one, and it would be beneath your dignity to stay here."

"Wait a minute." hope Nian raised an eyebrow: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

The female guard was also puzzled, pointing to the magnificent crown he was wearing: "Could that be Princess Diana's?"

“That’s right.” hope Nian nodded.

“Then that’s it.” After confirming, the female guard said in a deep voice, “We Amazons are born with a crown. The royal family wears a ceremonial crown, and the warriors wear a armor crown. It is a symbol of our identity and honor throughout our lives.”

"Then this crown is now on my head..." hope Hou belatedly opened his eyes wide.

"This means that she has given you her honor, her status, and everything of the highest value; you are her sovereign. We share both glory and shame, advancing and retreating on the same side!"

At this point, the female guard sighed, her eyes peering at Xinian through the gaps in her helmet: "I don't know why that princess chose you, a human, as her other half. Of course, it's not something I can comment on; I can only respect her choice."

hope Nian remained silent.

He felt no surprise, but rather the heavy crown on his head weighed him down, making it hard to breathe.

Aunt Diana, of course, could not choose him as her other half.

This is likely similar to how he deliberately referred to his aunt as his girlfriend before, just to appease her advances. It's simply to give him a more legitimate reason to stay on Paradise Island.

but.

An independent, intelligent, beautiful, strong, and perfect woman like Aunt Diana made even a proud and noble deity like her seem like an appendage, declaring that everything she represented was placed on him.

Even Xinian felt that the price she paid was too high for her aunt!

Chapter 41, The Trembling Mother Box

After the female guard tidied up and left the small dark room, Xinian lay alone on the relatively clean bed, clutching his aunt's starlight crown tightly in his arms, the flickering and cold firelight shining on him.
