Allen's expression improved. Ever since his teacher left Dayuan, he had always worried that Qin Mo would not be able to come of age smoothly. Now, after hearing Promi and Debbie's account, his long-held anxiety finally subsided.
"Now, let's talk about our business! One of you is a powerful sea creature, and the other is an ascetic from the temple. May I ask which side you represent?" The great elf smiled and spoke slowly.
“The temple’s affairs are none of our business. We are here on behalf of the sea race to discuss an alliance with Lord Allen!” Debbie directly included Promi in the sea race’s camp, completely ignoring the latter’s resentful little eyes.
"An alliance? You want to form an alliance with me... Why don't you form an alliance with Qin Mo? He is the master of Dayuan. Didn't Shia tell you that?" The great elf looked at the couple with great confusion and asked inexplicably.
"Your Highness Qin Mo...does not agree to our alliance terms..."
"My younger brother is very generous. What unreasonable demands do you have?"
Debbie hesitated. She felt that if she revealed her original intention to have Qin Mo marry into the sea tribe, the great elf might overturn the table, because the power and wealth of Da Yuan far exceeded her expectations.
For most people, marrying into a sea tribe is an honor, but for Qin Mo to do so would be an absolute humiliation.
“The condition for our alliance is that His Highness Qin Mo marries my daughter Shia as his queen... a real queen, not a concubine!” Promi answered for Debbie once again, but this time Debbie showed no sign of objection.
Promi was flattered that they didn't pinch his waist, step on his feet, or even gouge out his eyes.
"Qin Mo refused this condition?"
The couple nodded in unison, without saying a word.
"This condition isn't unreasonable, but you've misunderstood something!" The great elf smiled at the couple who were listening intently. "If Shia were only marrying Qin Mo personally, there wouldn't be a problem. But if you add the condition of an alliance with Da Yuan, then there's a problem?"
"Mr. Allen, could you explain this more clearly? Didn't you just say that Qin Mo was the master of the high-ranking official?" The couple were somewhat confused.
"Qin Mo is a member of the Great Xia royal family. If he marries a concubine, he only needs to report to the Great Xia Imperial Clan Court. However, if you want your daughter, Xi Ya, to become the Princess Consort of Prince Heng, that is, the principal wife, then you must obtain the approval of the Great Xia imperial family. However, Xi Ya is not a citizen of Great Xia. Unless there is a special reason, the Emperor of Great Xia will not agree to this."
Debbie and Promi exchanged bewildered glances, then asked in unison, "How did Prince Qin Lan marry Saint Luna? Wasn't Saint Luna a princess?"
Allen said seriously, "Princess Qin Lan and my teacher, Saint Luna, are both super-level powerhouses, which naturally fits the 'special reason' I just mentioned."
“Oh! My daughter Shia is already a super-level powerhouse. Even Elder Ashif of the temple is no match for her. I think this ‘reason’ should be enough!” Debbie said proudly, while Promi nodded proudly on the side.
Allen almost broke down in disappointment. He remembered Shia, who had been beaten black and blue by Kaihime but still fought back tenaciously. Suddenly, he lost all hope for Qin Mo's future "peace and tranquility in the inner quarters".
