Chapter 273 I Have My Own Understanding
"But I remember what you look like."
As soon as Camus saw her, some memories surfaced in his mind.
It was blurry, but he was certain it was her.
They had the same appearance, and their palms emitted the same luminous green spiritual energy.
Jiang Xi: "Your memory must be playing tricks on you. You couldn't have seen me like this before. I used to..."
She paused, as if suddenly remembering something.
That golden deer in the sea of supernatural powers that day...
"Perhaps what you saw was the scene of me repairing your sea of supernatural powers?"
Camus shook his head.
"I don't know why we ended up breaking off our engagement, but since you've come to the royal court, you must have some feelings for me."
Jiang Xi: "..."
Lu Liufeng stepped forward and pulled the female protagonist back a little.
"Camille, you are not the only beastman whose marriage contract has been dissolved by the female master. There are also Phoenix Mountain, Ancient Land, Nightmare Swamp and Boundless Sea."
“I don’t know why you married the female master, but you and the female master really have no service relationship whatsoever.”
Hollen then spoke up: "The female master came to treat you simply because she reached some cooperation agreements with the royal court; there are no other emotional factors involved."
Jiang Xi nodded.
"The reason behind this..." she said directly after catching a glimpse of Yang's figure out of the corner of her eye.
“You can ask Yang. He’s been by your side the whole time and knows everything.”
Yang smiled.
If the king had listened to what he said, he wouldn't have invited her in the first place.
Mu Ling snorted coldly.
"Camille, don't think that losing your memories of the Holy City will allow you to pursue the Female Master again. You used to look down on her the most. Before the Holy Female Master's accident, you tried every means to leave the Holy City. As soon as the Holy Female Master's accident happened, you couldn't wait to leave."
Of course, everyone wanted to dissolve the marriage contract at the time.
Some were successfully resolved, while others were not in time.
However, since Camus has lost his memory, what he says and how he says it is up to him to make up whatever he wants.
Nefer and Nakan knew nothing about the female's past, but they had no affection for these former beast husbands who had broken off their marriage contracts.
Many orcs wanted to marry the female master, but none of them could.
They were terrible; they didn't know how to cherish what they had. After marrying into the family, they forcibly dissolved the marriage contract. After that, they used forceful methods to try to get the female mistress to treat the backlash against them.
Camus did not believe what they said.
He had witnessed too many of the ways female beastmen competed for favor. Each of them would belittle other beastmen in front of the female in order to gain her affection.
Otherwise, how could his father have ended up like that...?
Camus closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, he was no longer confused.
He looked at the female master's several beast husbands, his gaze becoming much colder.
“I will investigate these matters, but since you have moved into my royal court thanks to the Queen, you should just focus on serving her. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”
If they follow the example of the female's beastly husbands and instigate a relationship between him and the female...
Camus seemed to have thought of something, and his gaze darkened again.
Mu Ling chuckled.
"That's ridiculous. It's not like we'd love to move into the royal court. Anyway, once your backlash is healed, we'll be going back to the Lion's Roar tribe."
"Lion Roar Tribe?"
Camus frowned. "The cursed land?"
Jiang Xi realized that talking to him was like talking to a brick wall.
She simply said directly, "Ask Yang if you have any questions. It's getting late, we need to go back."
She paused for a moment, then continued.
"By the way, your sister, Princess Taph, came to cause us trouble, but I chased her away. If you want to get better, you should keep your family in check. We don't care about princesses, princes, or empress dowagers. We are not your subjects and we don't need to flatter you royals."
Camus didn't quite understand a few words in her words, but he could grasp the general meaning.
He nodded.
"They won't bother you, so you can stay at the royal court without worry."
Although Jiang Xi felt that his tone towards his family was a bit strange, she didn't think much of it and simply pulled Lu Liufeng and the others away.
At that moment, the voice of the Giant Tree King came from behind again.
What time are you coming tomorrow?
Jiang Xi raised her hand without turning her head, "This afternoon."
Camus watched her leave, then sat on the edge of the bed in silence for a long time.
Yang spoke in a low voice.
“Your Majesty, you truly do not like her. She was forced into marriage and has always longed to return to the royal court.”
Camus narrowed his emerald green eyes, and his voice deepened.
"Yang, is it any of your business to comment on the king's marriage?"
Yang immediately knelt down on one knee.
"I have spoken too much; please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Camus raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose.
“Tell me the whole story of why I married into the Holy City and why I dissolved the marriage contract.”
"Having said that, go down and receive your whip."
Yang lowered his head again.
"yes."
Yang recounted how the king, who was then the eldest prince, married into the Holy City, the changes that occurred there, and how the king dissolved the marriage contract and returned to ascend the throne.
Camus listened in silence, his face expressionless.
“Using the father beast’s disease to coerce me into marrying into the Holy City is something a female mother would do.”
"So, after Father Beast's death, it was because Nisen, my good younger brother, couldn't inherit the throne that I was able to return so easily?"
Yang lowered his head even further.
Camus's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"The giant sacred deer has protected this forest for thousands of years; how could any other beast race take its place?"
“Send someone to tell the mother that I’m awake, and she will naturally stop bothering her.”
Yang respectfully withdrew.
After leaving, he wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
Having seen Lancelot impersonate the king so many times during this period, he almost forgot the king's true nature.
Outside the door, a light-golden-haired orc patted him on the shoulder, tugged at the whip in his hand, and smiled.
"Yang, my good brother, I'll be gentle."
Yang smiled insincerely.
Meanwhile, Nicola's beast guards, sent out, were driven back in fury.
Just as she was about to ask the old patriarch of the Holy Deer Clan, who was of Earth rank, to come out and teach them a lesson, a beast guard with light golden hair knocked on her palace door.
“Nicola, the King has awakened and sent me to inform you.”
Nicola was startled and almost uncontrollably shivered.
"How did you wake up so quickly?!"
The beast guard smiled and nodded, then withdrew.
After the beast guards left, the beastmen next to Nicola panicked instantly.
"My lady, I gave that grove of trees east of the royal court to my people. Will Camus hold me accountable?"
"My lady, my father and brothers have annexed the hummingbird tribe. I hope Camus won't blame me."
A beastman with a small golden bird perched on his shoulder snorted.
"I shouldn't have agreed to let his former mistress treat him in the first place."
Nicola frowned.
Seeing Taff lying unconscious on the bed, she felt even more irritated and said impatiently.
“His father beast is dead. If he dies too, without the beastmen and offspring of the Giant Tree God Clan, do you think we can still stay in the royal court and enjoy a life of luxury?”
