Shen Zhiyi was stunned.
Then he laughed and nudged him lightly with his elbow. "Five days a week?"
"Do you want to tire me out and then inherit my throne?"
"Besides, after being tortured by you for five consecutive days, this princess is almost falling apart. How can I have the energy to find another beastly husband?"
She turned around, held his pale face in her hands, looked straight into his uneasy eyes, and said clearly, "Listen, Samuel, there will be no one else."
"There was no one before, and there will only be you in the future."
Samuel's pupils suddenly contracted.
The excessive ecstasy almost made him dizzy, and his whole body began to shake uncontrollably.
"Are you serious?" He tightened his arms and held her tightly, his voice trembling.
"But... why?"
"Princess, you have so many choices, why didn't you choose them all and only chose me?"
Shen Zhiyi gently raised the corners of her lips and rubbed his face with her fingertips.
There was a tenderness in his eyes that he had never seen before.
"What about you?"
"Why did you choose to stay with me after you became capable of controlling the empire?"
"Even, are you willing to stand behind me?"
Samus lowered his eyelashes, then suddenly raised his head, looked at her, and said firmly: "Because I love you."
"Princess, I love you."
This love was much stronger than she had imagined.
He is willing to give it all.
Even if it means giving up his talent and sacrificing his life.
A smile spread across Shen Zhiyi's eyes, and she moved closer to him and kissed his lips gently.
"Then my answer is—"
"Me too."
She met his shocked eyes sincerely and tenderly, curling the corners of her lips, "Samus, I love you too."
Samuel's eyes welled up with tears.
Hold her tight.
"Princess……"
The rolling tears hit her cheeks and neck. He hugged her as if she was the treasure of his life and promised her that he would never let go.
The heart-protecting scales on the back of Shen Zhiyi's neck shone brightly and became scorching hot.
She felt his genuine joy and unreserved passionate love, and rubbed his head with a smile.
"Don't cry."
"You're so powerful outside, but you're crying in front of me."
"If someone sees you, they'll laugh at you."
"I don't care." Samus hugged her tighter, as if he wanted to embed her in his arms. "Let them laugh as much as they want. I promised the princess that I wouldn't kill anyone."
Shen Zhiyi curved her eyes and said “hmm”, rubbing the back of his neck, “Good boy.”
"Reward you seven days a week."
Samus transformed into a snake tail and wrapped it tightly around her waist. For the first time, she felt the warmth and was very happy.
A few days later, Shen Zhiyi returned to the royal family.
Surrounded by nobles and people, she was crowned emperor.
No one objected.
No one dared to object.
The whole country has experienced the darkness and terror of Samuel.
And since the princess could even tame him, her ability was undoubtedly the strongest in the empire.
They surrendered willingly.
The ancient army led by Samus swept across everything, and no one could compete with it.
Not to mention his personal abilities, which are so strong that they are intimidating.
But he always followed Shen Zhiyi like a shadow, giving her the most powerful protection and the most intense and paranoid love.
They stay together all their lives, until they are old and gray.
Shen Zhiyi knew that his regenerative talent could not defy nature and extend another person's immortality.
So she refused to let him overdraw his talent and prolong her life.
Choose to age naturally.
He respects her.
But he chose to follow the call of the contract, and when she left the world, he ended his life peacefully, holding her hand and leaving with her.
Many years later, their portraits were still hanging on the walls of the empire.
A legendary empress and her eternally loyal dark knight.
Their story, and the love between them that transcends life and death, conquest and submission, will be passed down through the ages and will live on forever.
