You are all my wings!

Timia couldn't help but glance at Leon. Why did this guy say so many sweet words to Orpheus, but never say a nice word to me?

Thinking of this, Timia lightly interjected:

"Stop with the trivialities. I think it would be better if young man Lyon married into my family. Although it might not stop the king from enforcing the ancestral rules, perhaps he would spare you out of respect for me?"

Upon hearing this, Ophimasso glared at Timia: "Don't interrupt!"

Timia had never seen Ophimaso with such an expression before, and she pouted, "Alright, you've forgotten your aunt now that you have a man."

This prompted Ophimasso to glare at her menacingly again, which finally calmed Timia down.

“Lyon Belon, you don’t need to worry about my problems. Whether I am happy or not is for me to decide. You just need to answer me whether you want to marry me or not.”

Ophimosa turned her head again, staring at Lyon with an oppressive gaze.

Clearly, the increase in favorability made her more determined.

Although she has the lowest favorability rating among Leon's female characters, she is the most assertive in her actions.

On the one hand, it's related to her personality; on the other hand, Leon probably thinks it's because she never considered romantic feelings, which makes it easier for her to make a decision.

On the contrary, the more worried Elise and her friends were, the less they dared to talk about such issues.

“Your Highness, I will not agree to marry you as long as it is only a formality.”

With that in mind, Lyon spoke firmly.

Timia was startled. So determined? Would Orpheus be angry?

She quickly observed Ophimasso's expression.

Instead of getting angry, Ophimasso slowly asked:

"So, what kind of marriage do you want to feel that isn't just a formality?"

Lyon's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the newly increased favorability had just made Ophie Marceau start to consider other factors related to marriage.

"At the very least, we should kiss once a day."

Lyon originally wanted to say "deep xx", but considering Ophimasso's level of acceptance, he only said "relatively moderate behavior".

Timia's eyes widened. Was this kid serious? Wasn't he afraid of angering Orpheus?

"can."

Chapter 218 Britta: I disagree!

can?

Ophimosa's decisiveness exceeded Lyon and Timia's expectations.

Leon assumed that Ophie Marceau would definitely refuse, given that her previous behavior had already shown that she deeply disliked matters between men and women.

Surprisingly, she said yes without hesitation?

"Your Highness, are you aware that kissing between husband and wife is different from ordinary behavior?"

"you mean?"

"I mean the interaction between the tongue and saliva."

"This kind? Hmm, if it's you, it's not impossible."

Ophelia stared at Leon's lips for a moment, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Good heavens, Leon could only exclaim, "Good heavens!"

Didn't Ophimosa have absolutely no interest in that?

Wasn't she firmly against romantic relationships?

How could you suddenly agree?

A 62% favorability rating shouldn't cause such a drastic change in her, right?

Or perhaps, Ophimasso felt that this was also a form, a form that was barely acceptable.

He forced himself to say, "Your Highness, isn't this putting too much pressure on you?"

"Reluctant? I definitely wouldn't agree to do it with anyone else. Don't worry, if you marry me, I'll only do this kind of thing with you for the rest of my life, and I'll only be willing to do it with you... So, do you want to marry me or not?"

A fleeting blush appeared on Ophimasso's face.

Once things returned to normal, she asked the question again.

Just as Leon guessed, she did feel that kissing was barely acceptable.

After all, Leon had already tasted the saliva before and said it was sweet (even though she herself didn't think it was sweet).

Since her saliva tasted sweet to Leon, she decided to give him a proper reward.

After all, Lyon was a hero who caught the assassin, and it would be a real sacrifice for him to be forced into marriage just because of that.

Of course, in Ophimasso's mind, she herself was the one who had to sacrifice more.

After all, she was extremely disdainful of matters between men and women!

To this day, she still believes that she can never change her mind!

At this moment, Timia also noticed a key problem: given Orpheus's personality, he had repeatedly mentioned the phrase "marry me."

Based on Timia's understanding of her, when faced with such a semi-forceful situation, the words she would say would be something like "Marry me" or "Come live with me," which are more proactive and suggestive of herself.

The fact that the passive voice was used several times indicates that there was a subtle shift in Ophimosa's mindset that even she might not have been aware of.

Timia got a headache just thinking about it.

Are these two really going to take that step?

Although she knew Leon was a good man, wasn't it a bit too hasty for Orpheus to make a decision so quickly?

Even with royal rules, wouldn't she consider other ways to save her life?

Why must one choose between marriage and beheading?

So, should I bring up something serious and try to stop this from moving forward?

Just as Timia was thinking this, she heard a clear and crisp voice:

"I disagree!"

Shifting her gaze, Timia noticed that the curtain had been suddenly lifted, and two beautiful women stepped in.

It was none other than Britta and her long-lived teammate, Iris, a diplomat from the Holy Land of the Elves!

Upon seeing the two of them, Timia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Well, with these two here, it'll probably be difficult to move forward with the topic of Orpheus's marriage.

Britta walked quickly to Lyon and met Ophimosa's gaze:

"Ophimaso, did you ask for my permission before you started planning what you're doing to my strategist?"

Iris quickly walked to Lyon's side, gripping her magic staff tightly, and looked at Ophima with her head held high.

The two had met Mshifisu before, but were forced to arrive late.

Upon arriving at the camp, they were stopped by the guards in their attempt to enter.

Having just experienced an assassination attempt, the guards dared not relax.

Therefore, Britta just barged in.

A squad of knights quickly charged in behind Britta and Iris:

"Your Highness, please forgive me..."

"You don't need to say anything more. After all, it's Britta. It's normal that you can't stop her. Just leave. Don't worry, Britta is a saintess. She certainly won't do anything here."

Ophimaso gave them a stern look, and the knights immediately knew to leave.

Soon, only one man and four women remained in the audience.

Each of them was exceptionally good-looking, and their demeanor was refined and otherworldly.

Lyon was actually not keen on Britta and Iris coming to this event.

There is still room for negotiation in the current situation.

But if there are too many people and too many variables, then it's hard to talk about it.

Even if Britta could take him away temporarily, this problem would still be difficult to solve.

Since the rumors have been largely confirmed, I must face this issue.

At this moment, Ophimasso turned to look at Brittany and said with a smile:

“Breita, although Lyon is your advisor, it doesn’t seem to prevent him from getting married, nor does it prevent me from being his marriage partner, does it? It also doesn’t prevent me from talking to him without your consent, does it? Besides, your advisor really did see my body this time, caught red-handed, there’s no denying it.”

Britta also felt that Lyon was probably really doomed after today's events.

But she wouldn't admit defeat, and coldly replied:

"Caught red-handed? Where is the evidence?"

Ophimosa looked at Timia.

Timia blinked, looking somewhat troubled.

Deep down, she wanted to stop Ophimasso.

Britta offered a way out, and she considered whether to go along with Britta's lead and say that she wasn't sure if Leon had seen it.

But wouldn't such obvious bias make Orpheus even more embarrassed?

She was conflicted for a moment.

Seeing that Timia remained silent, Ophimasso assumed she hadn't seen his gaze and said:

“Timia, you are a witness. You can explain to Britta what you saw earlier.”

Timia could only say:

"Well, back then..."

Britta interrupted:

"You're all in this together, and eyewitness testimony isn't enough to convince you! After all, you already have a history of slandering Lyon, don't you? Ophimasso, think about it carefully, you're not mistaken, are you?"

Timia was grateful; it was good that she was interrupted!

Lyon inwardly praised her, thinking, "As expected of Britta, she said what only she could say."

Even if it were someone else, even Iris, they couldn't deny it here.

Because Iris doesn't have much say right now. Although she is exceptionally talented and has amazing potential, she hasn't taken on an important position in the elven holy land. Her current status as a diplomat is only that of a subordinate official, below Grani.

Only when Iris finishes her training on the human side and returns to the elven holy land, gaining the Holy Tree's recognition as a sixth-tier Light Elementalist and inheriting the identity of 'Radiant Light Elf', will she receive a massive boost in status and position.

After all, in the Holy Land of Elves, only those at the sixth rank or higher can be considered to be capable of standing alone (the standard for humans is the fourth rank).

Moreover, Britta also gave Ophimasso a way out. If Ophimasso was willing to stop pursuing the matter, she could then say that she had indeed made a mistake.

But will Ophim Marceau accept this opportunity now?

Chapter 219 Miss Iris, Don't Be So Intimate with My Future Husband

“This is not slander, nor is it a misreading. In addition to Timia, the magician group to which Lyon belongs can also testify.”

Ophimosa said calmly:

"The Mage Corps is a force of the Lyon family, not directly under my control. Surely I wouldn't slander him like that?"

Britta's face darkened slightly. She hadn't expected that such a big fuss would be witnessed by even the members of the magicians' guild, nor had she expected that Ophimaso wouldn't want to take the opportunity to save face.

"Even so, they didn't witness it directly, right? In other words, it's not just your side of the story?"

Iris spoke up.

Although she hasn't yet gained significant influence, with Britta leading the charge, it's acceptable for her to act as a pure-blooded elf diplomat and cause some trouble.
