"Tsk tsk, poor Tang De, after studying magic for so many years, he has only ever touched the hands of his family and young girls."

Saide looked at Tangde with a pitiful expression.

"Hmph! You stunt pig, spending every night in brothels, what's so praiseworthy about that?"

Tang De angrily criticized Saide.

"With my charm, women would line up for me, but I'm afraid of the trouble women cause, so I only sleep with the ones who cost money."

Saide patted Tang De on the shoulder, then turned and left.

"I'm going to check out other assassins. I'm off."

Beside him, Moron's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look: Could it be that Lyon's strength is related to His Highness's secret training? He seems to be the Saintess's man, but in reality, he has already been taken over by His Highness?

Tang De looked at Mo Lun from the side:

"What do you say, Morren?"

"How so? Of course, it's better to catch the assassin as soon as possible."

"No, I'm referring to the matter between that young man Lyon and His Highness. Wasn't there something strange about what just happened?"

"What's so strange about it?"

Molen doesn't really want to talk to Tang De anymore; that guy can be pretty stubborn sometimes.

"I mean, how did Lyon end up at that event? Isn't he one of the Saintess's people?"

Tang De asked.

"Uh, didn't you hear that rumor?"

Moron remained silent.

"What rumor?"

"You mean that guy Leon Belon has been secretly having an affair with His Highness for a long time? You haven't heard about that?"

"I haven't been paying attention."

Tang De looked indifferent:

"Doesn't this sound obviously fake? His Highness mentioned to us several times before that he wanted to find a way to recruit Lyon Belon, right? This doesn't seem like a romantic relationship at all."

"What? Your Highness left Lyon alone in that romantic atmosphere? Don't you understand? It's obviously just the two of them having some fun! Perhaps Your Highness had been looking for an opportunity to tell us all along, but it was inconvenient to say so. I think the so-called recruitment earlier was just a prelude she laid out."

Molen spoke with absolute certainty.

"Impossible. Her Highness the Princess is resolute and devoted to the country. Why would she make such a fuss over such a trivial matter?"

"So you don't understand. No matter how resolute you are, you still have physical needs, right? And Leon is such an outstanding genius, with such outstanding looks. He even brought His Highness back alone during the great battle. Such affection must have been very deep by now, right?"

When Moron thought back to the scene of his duel with Lyon, he felt envious and jealous for a long time afterward, but now that he has figured out his relationship with His Highness, he is no longer jealous.

On the contrary, they were extremely happy!

Although Lyon is of low status, his genius is enough to make him a worthy match for His Highness.

After all, there aren't many young people on the mainland who are of higher status than His Highness.

Even if they exist, they aren't human!

Moron couldn't possibly think that marrying His Highness off to someone else was a good choice, so thinking about it this way, he actually felt that Lyon was barely a good match for His Highness.

Upon seeing Moren's expression, Tang De immediately let out a cold snort:

"I will definitely prove you and Moron wrong, just you wait and see!"

……

at the same time.

Inside the Saintess's tent.

Britta stepped out of the tent and glanced around at the surrounding area:

"Strange, why have so many people suddenly gathered around the princess?"

Lyon's espionage was no small matter, so she kept a close eye on the surrounding area to prevent any accidents.

Before long, he noticed fighting outside Ophimaso's tent and immediately went out.

Iris also came out worriedly:

"Could it be that Lyon's spying has been discovered?"

"possible."

Britta suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Given Lyon's shrewdness, it's unlikely he would make a mistake so easily.

In particular, she learned that Leon used materials from a fifth-tier Shadow Scorpion to upgrade his rank, resulting in a significant boost.

She only agreed to let Leon go and spy after she had personally witnessed Leon's demonstration and confirmed that it was sufficiently concealed.

Logically speaking, Lyon wasn't caught before his promotion, and now that everyone is exhausted and resting after the war, he shouldn't be discovered at all.

"What should we do then? Should we go straight there and see if we can rescue Leon?"

Iris was in a hurry.

“Let’s go, Iris. Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to step in together.”

Britta pondered for a moment, then made up her mind.

They quickly left a note for the meditating Maggie and rushed over.

However, they were unlucky and noticed something was wrong as soon as they came out.

She had only taken a few steps out of the tent when Britta suddenly stopped Iris and hissed:

"who is it?"

"As expected of the Holy Maiden, even though I wasn't obviously disguised, she still managed to sense my arrival."

Ahead, a short, thin, masked man quietly emerged in a gentle breeze.

"A halfling?"

“That’s right, I am Mshifisu from the Silver Badge Magic Illusionary Group. I would like to discuss a collaboration with the Holy Maiden. What do you think?”

……

Although the conversation among the sixth-tier individuals was very quiet.

But with Leon's agility at this moment, and the added benefit of the Shadow Walker, he was still able to hear some of it.

He was speechless. How come the wind direction is getting further and further away?

Moreover, judging from this, it's not just those few sixth-tier individuals who think this way; other strong fifth-tier individuals also have similar judgments.

Doesn't this just confirm the rumors even more?

"Now that everyone's gone, let's continue our conversation."

Ophimasso walked over in a deep voice.

To be honest, she was also a bit confused; this situation was indeed difficult to handle.

Undeniably, she had a good impression of Leon, finding him outstanding, unique, intelligent, and charming, and she was indeed attracted to him many times.

She had also inadvertently harbored some fantasies about Leon, and indeed had some vague expectations.

However, this affection hadn't reached the level of romantic love, or rather, she believed that she could never fall in love with anyone else, nor could she possibly put her heart into romantic love, so she firmly cut off many extra thoughts.

Now that her body has been exposed, she has to consider how to deal with the current problem from a practical perspective.

If she were just an ordinary woman, being seen in such an obviously accidental situation would be the end of it, and she would have no choice but to accept the loss.

But she is now a princess, and the royal family has clear rules. Moreover, a group of people witnessed part of the situation, which further confirms the rumors that were accidentally spread before, making it impossible to handle this matter lightly.

But he didn't want Leon to die.

Whether it's out of emotion, morality, or even self-interest, she finds it hard to accept Leon's death.

Given the circumstances, marriage seems to be the best option.

Moreover, he could also seduce Leon from the saintess and bring him under his wing, much to Britta's chagrin.

Of course, she would never consider romantic love!

She has made up her mind and is determined not to waste time and energy on this kind of thing!

This is just a nominal title!

Even if they get married, it will only be to prevent Leon from being beheaded by his father after leaving the dungeon!

It would also be beneficial to avoid being forced into marriage with other races.

In short, she needed to confirm whether the person in front of her was worth doing this for.

"Leon Belon, tell me carefully why you're here."

"Because I heard rumors and wanted to come and clarify things with Your Highness."

Lyon replied, half-jokingly.

At the same time, he activated his self-buff mode of the trust halo.

"That's all?"

"Yes, judging from Your Highness's expression, you also know about the rumors, don't you?"

"So, you're saying that you discovered the assassin when you came here, which is why you were forced to come here."

"Your Highness is indeed discerning."

Lyon was full of praise.

"Hmph, you just said that my body and Timia's body are works of art, so let me ask you, which one do you think is better?"

Ophim Marceau stared at Lyon.

Beside them, Timia chimed in, as if egging them on:

"I'm curious too, Lyon, who do you think has a better physique?"

As she spoke, her eyes crinkled into a smile, as if she liked the situation and was looking forward to an interesting answer from Lyon.

Lyon was speechless. Judging from Ophimasso's words, he would decide how to deal with me based on my answer.

So, are there still wrong choices at this point?

He began to speak:

"Undeniably, Lady Timia's body is indeed beautiful, a body kissed by the gods."

Ophimosa raised an eyebrow and tightened his grip on the Dragon Slayer Sword.

Dimiya's eyes lit up.

“But I prefer Your Highness’s physique.”

Lyon deliberately took a deep breath here.

"Just liking the body?"

Ophim sneered.

[Character Ophimosa's affinity +2%, current affinity 53%]

Huh, is this guy all talk and no action?

Lyon chuckled inwardly.

No matter how annoying you may seem on the surface, a woman still dresses up for the man she loves.

So, the choice now is to praise Ophimosa's body or her soul?

Of course we should praise them together!
