Before Frillie could answer, Chris interrupted, saying:

"She's level 18. Let me accept it for her, and I'll make sure she eats it."

Frilian doesn't like relying on external things to level up.

Therefore, Eris knew that if he didn't speak up, Frilian would most likely refuse.

This is inconsistent with her previous plans.

Ronan thought for a moment, then casually handed over the essence of experience to her.

Eris breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment later, her gaze swept over Alice, whose lips were slightly pursed, not far away. After thinking for two seconds, she realized that now was the best time to bring the two of them closer.

So immediately, they pulled Frillie away, intending to make her eat it in front of Ronan.

"Come with me, let's have a good talk. We absolutely cannot let Lord Ronan's efforts go to waste..."

The sound faded into the distance, and the scene became somewhat murky.

Seeing this, Kureya wanted to draw her sword and teach this man a lesson.

He actually got intimate with other women in front of the princess.

She couldn't accept it.

However, at this time...

"Wait a moment."

Alice reached out and tugged at her sleeve, gently shook her head, and whispered,

"Don't be so impulsive, Kureya. I know, that older sister is the one he likes."

"I'm just a third party who wants to interfere in their affairs for the sake of my country and my family. I have no right to interfere in this matter."

A third party!?

Kureya's pupils constricted in shock: "Your Highness, how could you say that?"

This is so strange. Putting aside how adorable Princess Alice is, why would any man not like her?

The mere fact that one is a member of the royal family is something no one could refuse.

She was not present when the marriage was discussed earlier, which is why she was surprised by Alice's compromise.

The others, however, seemed unsurprised.

Rein sighed and softly advised:

"Yes, this is a decision that Her Highness made after careful consideration."

“He defeated the Demon King and is even more powerful than His Majesty. Therefore, it is not he who needs us, but we who need him.”

"Lady Kuraya, I hope you can understand that Her Highness the Princess had no other choice."

Forced by circumstances? I can't understand it.

Is this country so weak that it has to rely on the princess to make sacrifices in order to maintain its prosperity?

Kureya took a deep breath, knowing that now was not the time to lose her temper, and asked in a low voice:

"Are His Majesty and Prince Jedis aware of this matter?"

"I don't know, actually..."

"Stop, there's no need to say any more."

She raised her hand to interrupt Rein.

Actually, at this point, she already knew what the princess was thinking.

This is so unfair.

"I'll go and inform His Majesty right away. What exactly do you people think of the princess's future?"

After saying that, he took out his magic phone and quickly dialed a number.

beep—

The phone had barely rang once when Alice grabbed her wrist tightly.

The girl's fingertips were icy cold, and her eyes pleaded.

Kureya lowered her eyes to meet her gaze.

"……open."

"Don't let it go."

"Why……"

"There's no reason why, I just want to fulfill my duties as a princess."

"But he clearly doesn't like you."

"No one likes everyone from the start. Feelings can be cultivated over time. I thought you could understand me, Kureya."

I understand, of course I understand, but understanding cannot be a reason for the princess to bear all of this alone.

Just as she was pondering what method she could use to bring the princess back to her senses.

Suddenly, Chris's excited shouts came from not far away:

"Leveled up! So fast! Level 20, level 25, level 30...!"

The adventurer's experience points were skyrocketing.

What used to take an hour to level up can now be done in just one second.

Chris felt a pang of envy seeing this upgrade speed.

"If only I could level up this fast, I could defeat the Demon King all by myself. What a pity..."

Unfortunately, as a goddess, she was subject to many restrictions, and even her descent to the mortal realm had to be done secretly.

Once the experience essence was fully digested, Frilian felt a slight increase in power, as well as an extra twenty-two points.

My mood is strange and hard to describe.

Theoretically, she should be happy, but the thought that this reward was given to her by someone else gave her a sense of unreality, like she hadn't earned it.

"So, what level are you at?"

Chris leaned closer and asked, then his eyes widened.

"Forty?! Forty?!"

"Young Master Duo?" Kureya, who was not far away, was also stunned when she heard this exclamation.

It took her seven years of hard work to climb from level one to level forty, during which she endured countless hardships and bitterness.

But this girl achieved it in just two days, with only a little sweat?

With the help of a powerful figure, they truly become unreasonable.

He lowered his head, biting his nails in frustration.

“Golden Scallion Duck… This is a rare ingredient that even Princess Alice finds difficult to enjoy, let alone experience essence.”

"And with his strength, he could probably hunt even higher-level golden dragons..."

Thinking of this, Kureya raised her head, her gaze fixed intently on Ronan's retreating figure, finally understanding why the princess was so persistent.

The existence of the strong is not only a deterrent, but also a resource.

A strong nation is also beneficial to her family, Senfonia.

It benefits both the country and its people; no wonder Princess Alice made such a choice…

……

"How are you feeling? You leveled up to level 22 in one go, are you happy?"

Chris asked expectantly, knowing that if he was happy, it would mean his persuasion hadn't been in vain.

Unfortunately, Frilian was oblivious to romance. She gently clenched her pale fist, glanced sideways, and said:

"It's alright, why should I be happy? Didn't you persuade me to eat it?"

"That's true, but this was specially given to you by Lord Ronan."

Chris glanced at Frillie's card and noticed that the Time Magic section was now unlocked. She asked softly:

“Something like this is a rare sight, perhaps only once every few decades. I don’t know where he got it from, but he must have put a lot of thought into it.”

"Don't you feel anything at all?"

“I feel...no…” Frillian’s eyelashes fluttered, and she paused for two seconds.

She seemed to remember something and said thoughtfully:

"There is one thing: I've mastered new magic, and that makes me happy."

She actually had happy moments.

Encounters, adventures, moments of wanting to understand humanity—but as time passed, these feelings were gradually forgotten by her.

For her, nothing seemed to be as important as magic.

Chris nodded, a satisfied smile playing on his lips:

“Yes, that’s happiness. Remember this feeling. Go and thank Lord Ronan.”

"He'll really be looking forward to seeing your smile, not that faint smile you have this morning."

As she spoke, she pushed Frilian towards her.

After gathering her thoughts and activating the time magic, an indescribable feeling welled up inside her.

She stood in front of Ronan, intending to say thank you properly, but after uttering those two words, she didn't know how to continue.

I vaguely remember having a similar experience before, and I felt like I was at a loss for words.

"Um, thank you for your gift. Do you need me to give you something in return?"

"A return gift?" Ronan raised an eyebrow.
