With the wedding as his motivation, His Highness the Duke has become almost the most concerned person in Emerald City about the 'Druid problem'.

Without alerting the 'Non-Intelligent Alliance', the Duke went to the Druid Association three times a day at the same time and place without fail.

His Highness the Duke didn't need to do anything; he just needed to sit there and think: if the problems of the Druid Association weren't resolved...

Therefore, his wedding will most likely be postponed again.

Thanks to Arthur, the negotiations that had been deadlocked with the druids made rapid progress.

"What? The druids have decided to abandon their previously insisted conditions?" Li Aili asked in surprise after hearing Wendy's report, who was in charge of the negotiations.

Previously, Emerald City offered one of two conditions as a condition to be chosen.

They either conduct Druidic propaganda activities on legal days or open a 'Druidic cultural center'.

However, the druids were very interested in both conditions after hearing them.

Children make choices, adults want it all!

As a result, the negotiations stalled.

“It’s probably thanks to His Highness the Duke…” Wendy said apprehensively.

Perhaps because she was too talkative in front of her sister Ellie, Wendy would almost faint every time Arthur saw her gaze.

Li Aili noticed a bubble suddenly appear on Wendy's head:

How could I have been so reckless as to want to be his wife...?

【Ugh! He's a monster!】

No! It's more terrifying than the devil!

"In short, the problem is solved, so everyone is happy."

"So, they really chose the 'Druid Culture Museum'?"

A 'cultural center' that can open at any time is obviously more attractive than a 'doctrinal activity day' that can only be held on a legally designated day.

In short, Li Aili narrowly escaped the fate that would make people say, "That's the city with the Ribbon Festival," whenever Emerald City is mentioned.

Thank God!

With the only urgent matter in town resolved, wedding preparations could now be put on the agenda.

Conrad noticed that the teacup on the table was almost empty, so he gracefully picked up the teapot and went over to refill the teacup for Li Aili.

"Ahem." Li Aili cleared her throat. "I'm planning to hold my wedding with Arthur on the 14th of next month."

She flipped through the calendar on the table.

"So, in 10 days, can you prepare a grand wedding for us?"

Everyone in the study: "..."

Conrad stood there like a statue, the tea in his cup overflowing, still unable to come to his senses.

It wasn't until Li Aili quickly rescued the official documents on the table that he belatedly put the teapot aside.

The housekeeper frantically searched for a tablecloth to wipe up the spilled red tea.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I..."

Wendy has a lot of facial expressions.

Joanna immediately hugged Annie, who had just taken over the city hall job, and exclaimed, "Yay!!!"

Our collapsed house has come back to life!!!

Li Aili: "..."

Well, those who crave sweetness will eventually be the ones who get their comeuppance.

"So, is it possible to prepare a grand wedding in 10 days, everyone?" Li Aili asked.

Conrad raised his hand to adjust the frame of his glasses. "I swear to you in the name of the Holy Dragon's servant, I will prepare a wedding of the century for Your Highnesses!"

Behind the lenses, the old butler's devilish vertical pupils became visible.

Li Aili gave a stiff smile, "There's no need to be like that..."

Joanna and Anne followed closely behind, shouting, "Leave it to us! Ten days! We'll make sure you and His Highness the Duke remarry!!"

Well, everyone else is more enthusiastic than her.

“I’m going to have a wedding dress and His Highness’s formal attire custom-made by the elves!” Annie raised her hand and said.

Joanna: "Ah! I need to calculate the wedding budget right now!"

Everyone in the study immediately sprang into action, practically running around like the wind.

Li Aili thought about what she could do now, "Hmm..."

After thinking it over, it seemed that for now, she could only share the good news with the people who were most eager for it.

Tankar hosted a perfect wedding overnight.

She was much more lenient than Fisher-Nankey, giving him a full 10 days to prepare.

Li Aili got up and left her study.

Arthur's study is on the second floor.

When Li Aili arrived, Arthur had just walked out of the portal.

"Did they go out?" Li Aili asked curiously.

These past few days, Arthur has been practically glued to her.

She wished she could remind Li Aili of her wedding date every day with her very presence.

Arthur said with a stern face, "I just went to the capital. Albert asked me to come over."

Seeing his expression, Li Aili didn't mention the marriage. Instead, she pulled Arthur to sit on the sofa with her. "What's wrong?"

“He called Aniana over.” Arthur’s eyes were deep.

"Tell me, as long as Aniana can find a way to incite Tiamat to go to war with the God of Magic."

"He forgave her for everything she did 1,000 years ago."

Just by looking at Arthur's expression, you could tell he was furious.

Arthur will not kill Anyana, but he will never forgive her.

Arthur took Ellie's hand and buried his forehead in her palm. "I can't understand him, darling."

How could he smile and tell her he forgave him after everything he'd been through?

Suddenly, Li Aili recalled Fisher's previous comments about Albert.

The immortal cannot empathize with the living.

However, the most terrifying existence in the world is the one that disguises itself as an immortal capable of empathizing with the living.

Li Aili felt a vague unease in her heart.
