"This is incredible. This is incredible."
"Not only the well-known nobles in the entire imperial capital... even several powerful people from the Church and the Princes' Alliance received invitations."
"Moreover, those families, including the Holy Court, have already made it clear that they will send a delegation of envoys to the imperial capital to watch the ceremony."
"Right now, most of the Western Continent, even the Lost Territories, are discussing the engagement between the Borgia family's eldest daughter and the leader."
In the military headquarters' lounge, several sword-bearers were sitting around a small round table with a thick stack of newspapers beside them.
They had just finished the finishing work of the Sinful Thorn Club. Not only had they rescued hundreds of prisoners who had lost their freedom, they had also collected a considerable amount of witnesses and material evidence that could be used to put pressure on the Council of Nobles.
Although the other party will undoubtedly categorically deny any connection with the Sinful Thorn Club and take various measures to cut off ties with it.
But in this struggle, the military and the Sword Wielder can naturally gain considerable benefits.
As the Sword Bearer's first battle, this was indeed a great victory worthy of being written about and even a celebration banquet.
...
...
only--
All their achievements suddenly seemed to be overshadowed by the huge melon that affected the entire empire.
"The Borgia family's ambitions this time are quite ambitious. Even several of our surviving Round Table families have received invitations."
Dark Crow spoke calmly.
"It was just an ordinary engagement dinner, but it attracted the forces of most of the Order camp in the Western Continent."
"The royal family's reputation in the empire has just improved in the past few years, and they immediately made such a move. The Borgia family is demonstrating to those forces in the empire that are still wavering..."
"Moreover, His Highness had just rebuilt the Swordbearer, and they immediately sent a marriage proposal..."
"This is clearly an attempt to snatch someone from right under your Highness's nose."
As members of the Sword Bearers, they all knew in their hearts that this was the Borgia family's trick to cut off the source of the problem.
It is true that the Sword Bearer had just won a great victory, and the exposure of the Thorn of Sin would inevitably have an impact on the Borgia Family.
However, what if Char is really engaged to Histalia Borgia?
Then the disadvantage that the Borgia family was originally in would be completely reversed.
It would also make the many arrangements made by the military, the Swordsman, and the Second Princess Isadella become a joke in an instant.
The sword-bearer you just supported has turned out to be the son-in-law of your biggest enemy.
After that, no one would believe in the royal family, and its reputation would inevitably plummet.
"But I have to say, this is indeed a very powerful proposal."
Diris's eyes swept over the stunningly beautiful girl in the newspaper and she spoke softly.
"That's the eldest daughter of the Borgia family, the only daughter of an old legend who might even touch the level of a demigod."
"Moreover, she is also the favored one of the gods of the Dawn. Perhaps she will be one of the thirteen saints in the future and have the opportunity to step into the highest level of the religious nation."
"As long as he marries Histalia Borgia, the influence of the Scarlet Rose Family will naturally increase. It is equivalent to having the entire Holy See as a backup."
This was the Borgia family’s conspiracy.
Just put the chips on the table and give the other party an offer that they cannot refuse.
It means snatching people right in front of you and making the royal family the laughing stock of the entire empire.
"So, can we start packing and go back to our respective homes?"
Nightingale's somewhat confused words rang out.
Char's previous declaration at the Thorns of Sin had indeed touched her, and she was full of confidence in the future of the Swordsman.
But Nightingale put herself in Char Eggot's shoes and imagined that if she were in Borgia's position, she would definitely not be able to refuse Borgia's marriage proposal.
Accepting this marriage proposal is equivalent to embracing power, wealth, beauty, strength...almost everything a human being, a man can imagine.
Diris shook her head: "Who knows?"
"I was immediately driven away by him, and I didn't have the time to find out more."
She is the one who knows Char best among the Sword Wielders. She had come into contact with Char several times several years ago and had even personally entered the dream world derived from Char's inner world.
However, even though Diris is the succubus royal family who is most proficient in understanding human hearts, she still cannot guess what Char is thinking.
…
On the outskirts of the imperial capital, there is a quaint mansion on the mountains.
Isadella, wearing the Black Eagle military uniform, was quietly flipping through the documents in her hands.
A pitch-black griffin was sleeping soundly in the wilderness outside the mansion, exuding tremendous power.
As the second princess of the empire, Isadella's residence should have been the imperial palace located in the center of the upper city of the imperial capital, but she seldom went there, preferring instead to stay overnight in a mansion in the suburbs.
"Your Highness, the Borgia family has also sent you an invitation to the same dinner."
A hoarse female voice sounded in her ears.
Then, a gold-plated envelope with the mark of a scarlet rose on it was quietly placed on the wooden table.
Isadela stretched out her slender fingers, held the envelope between her fingers and played with it for a moment.
"Guderian Borgia."
"You are trying to defeat me..."
The solemn voice echoed along with the evening breeze.
The second princess looked into the distance, and the figure of the black-haired and black-eyed boy appeared in her mind again.
"So--"
"If it were you..."
"What choice will you make?"
…
When all eyes are focused on the imperial capital, or the Borgia family’s dinner seven days later.
As the protagonist of this shocking melon, Char simply locked himself in the training room of the manor.
For five consecutive days, Char and Airola did not go out. This meant that Sieg and Diris, who wanted to negotiate, were turned away and had no choice but to give up.
It was not until late at night on the fifth day that the door of the training room was opened again.
On Char's shoulder, the little snow ferret let out a lazy whimper, then buried its little head in the snow-white fur.
In Char's arms, Chihong, who had transformed into a red ball, had fallen into a deep sleep.
As for Shanshan, she had already returned to the Soul Agreement Space exhausted and went to sleep.
"It's finally done."
Char's mental strength was also somewhat exhausted, but his mood was quite cheerful.
In Char's mind, on that azure panel.
The original display of "Sands of Time: 31" has now changed to "Sands of Time: 1".
The consumption is not small, but the effect is also significant.
At this moment, Char's panel has been completely renewed.
Xia took a look at the still closed meditation room, and then walked into the study.
He lit up the magic lamp array in the study, then took out paper and pen and began to write.
After a long time, Xia stopped writing.
After checking everything, Char took out three Rhine gold coins from the drawer under the table and placed them on top of the paper.
The next moment, Char spoke calmly.
"Hathaway."
"Hathaway."
Xia paused slightly and repeated the name for the third time.
"Hathaway."
After a breath's interval.
Ripples appeared in the windless room.
That feeling of being peeped from above the star realm came again.
Xia held his breath, silently waiting for the messenger from the star realm to come and take away the letter he had written.
But, then.
The folded piece of letter paper did not disappear along with the three Rhine gold coins.
Instead.
It is the crystal cracks that bloomed in the void, one after another.
Char felt his consciousness blur and the scenery around him began to spin.
It was as if he had entered the echoes of history before. The space around him and even the time that was flowing slowly at a constant speed were distorted.
But at this moment, Char clearly did not trigger any historical echoes.
When Char regained consciousness, he found himself in a very strange world.
What meets the eye is a boundless darkness, with some illusory stars looming at the end of the extremely dark world, reflecting the dazzling starlight.
It was like an illusory sea of stars.
The next moment, those thousands of dim stars twinkled at the same moment.
The starlight is shattered.
First, there were high heels made of crystal.
Then there was the pitch-black Gothic long skirt and the crown made of rare dark red metal, lingering around the snow-white neck.
The golden elf with only one eye open stood in the sea of stars, calmly looking down at his only disciple.
"Have I reached the astral realm?"
"teacher?"
Looking at the golden elf girl in front of him, Xia was slightly stunned, but then he felt happy.
"Teacher, have you returned to the main material plane?"
"Not really. I just happened to wander into a subspace dimension where the world barrier is weak, and I heard the call."
"So I pulled your astral body into the astral world to see if you have been studying hard during this period."
The golden elf's voice was very cold, and its beautiful red-gold eyes looked at Xia.
Obviously, Char was just a celestial spirit at the moment, but the golden elf wizard named Hathaway seemed to see through the soul covenant contained in the celestial spirit body and the process after the soul covenant.
After a long time, she spoke again.
"not bad."
The golden elf waved his hand gently, and Xia felt that the illusory stars around him began to move rapidly, and the distance between him and Hathaway was quickly shortened, and he appeared in front of the other.
Hathaway folded her arms and looked at the black-haired and black-eyed boy in front of her. A barely perceptible smile flashed in his beautiful light golden eyes.
"Tell me, what do you want from me this time?"
Xia coughed lightly.
"Teacher, I want to..."
"Please witness a dinner party."
