Chapter 760 Unless She Comes to Like Me as Well
“No!”
Mag and Krassu rose to their feet almost in unison, glowering at Yuri with dangerous looks in their eyes.
Yuri immediately felt a chill run down his spine as he unconsciously took a couple of steps backward. These two suddenly appeared extremely terrifying, even more so than Irina.
“Hmm?”
All of the officials also turned toward Amy with thoughtful expressions on their faces. Even though she was very young, her aptitude simply defied the natural order, and barring any accidents, she was definitely going to become one of the most powerful beings on the Norland Continent in the future.
Furthermore, her adorable features suggested that she was almost definitely going to grow up to become an exquisite beauty. The third prince didn’t appear to be very bright the majority of the time, but he was suddenly making a very intelligent investment.
However, she was still just a half-elf, and the biggest issue here was whether the king would allow the third prince to marry a half-elf.
Of course, it appeared that Mag and Krassu were also vehemently opposed to this arrangement.
Mag’s opinion didn’t really matter, but no one could ignore Krassu. It was said that he had already resigned from the Magus Tower and permanently settled in Chaos City, but he was still as influential as ever in the Roth Empire.
If he didn’t want to hand over his disciple to the third prince, then even the king would have to reconsider whether he could act as matchmaker for the two.
Are you sick of living, you big-headed freak? How dare you set your eyes on Amy! I should chop you up and feed you to the fishes! Mag was looking at Yuri with a cold expression. No one in this world could take Amy away from him. Anyone who tried would have to die!
Krassu was also glaring coldly at Yuri. This big-headed brat is trying to take my disciple? No one in this world is worthy of my disciple!
Are they that opposed to this? I’m just worried that Big Sister Irina would make me marry her daughter, so I’m just looking for an idiot to act as my meat shield. This little idiot is a little stupid, but she’s not bad to look at, Yuri thought to himself sheepishly as he looked at the ferocious expressions on the faces of Mag and Krassu.
Is this brat taking what I said all those years ago seriously? Even so, how does he know that Amy is my daughter? Irina was looking at Yuri with a rather perplexed expression.
The entire palace had fallen silent again as Mag and Krassu faced off against the panicked Yuri.
“Father, is Mushroom Head asking me to marry him?” Amy looked up at Mag with a naive expression.
Yuri’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. If this little idiot agreed, then the objections from the big idiot and Krassu wouldn’t matter!
“Yes.” Mag looked down at Amy before nodding with a rather complex expression.
Just as he was about to instruct Amy on the hazards of entering relationships at too young an age, Amy turned to Yuri with a serious expression as she said, “I don’t think my head is a match for your big head, and I’ve already learned to use an umbrella.”
“Pfft~”
After a brief silence, someone finally couldn’t resist the urge to burst out laughing.
“Oh my God! This little girl is too adorable!”
“And she has such a sharp tongue, but she’s still so cute!”
“Could it be that His Highness’ head is a substitute for an umbrella in her eyes?”
The laughter in the palace was contagious, particularly when they saw the serious expression on Amy’s little face. Even though she was saying something so hurtful, her expression made it seem as if she was the victim; it was absolutely hilarious!
“I... I...” Yur’s mouth gaped open as he reflexively laid a hand on his own head. Even though it was indeed a little large, he still had to use an umbrella on rainy days!
“I didn’t think that even a genius like me would be rejected.” Yuri shook his head in disappointment at the sight of Amy’s serious expression. He wasn’t disappointed at being rejected by Amy. Instead, he was merely disappointed that the people of this world could only see his head rather than look deeper to glean his brilliant talents.
“Is it my fault that I have a big head? Is that something that I can decide for myself?” Yuri heaved a forlorn sigh. It was still rather depressing to be rejected like this.
As expected of my daughter. Irina nodded with a content expression.
As expected of my daughter. The same thought appeared in Mag’s mind as he patted Amy’s head with a gratified smile. As long as she didn’t agree, then he would be able to keep Yuri’s sinister paws away from his precious daughter.
“I’m going to marry you, Father. You’re the best,” Amy whispered into Mag’s ear.
A hint of warmth welled up in Mag’s heart upon hearing this. Amy was too young to know anything about marriage or love, but she knew who was good to her, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with her loving father. This was the feeling of being trusted and relied upon, and Mag was greatly touched by her rather childish words.
In the face of the string of rejections, everyone turned their attention toward the king again. He was the one who was going to make the final decision on the matter.
Mag cast a determined gaze toward the king, and said, “Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rude interjection, but my daughter is still very young, and it’s nowhere near time for her to think about marriage.”
Krassu also wore a serious expression as he chimed in, “Your Majesty, my disciple had only just begun to learn magic from me, and it’ll be many years before she becomes a full-fledged magic caster; she has no spare time on her hands to play with wood carvings with His Highness.”
The king looked at Mag and Krassu, and then turned toward Yuri as he asked, “Yuri, do you really like this little girl?”
Yuri crossed his arms with a proud expression as he replied. “Not anymore. I only like people who like me, and people who don’t like me aren’t worthy of being liked by me.
“Unless she comes to like me as well?” Yuri added at the end.
“How can there possibly be an idiot who likes you?” Amy asked with a genuinely curious look on her face.
Yuri was immediately deflated upon hearing this; he turned to the king, and said, “Father, I’ll leave the reward for now. I’ll ask you for it when I think of something.”
A hint of disappointment flashed through the king’s eyes, but he still nodded as he said, “Alright, then tell me when you think of something. I’ll give you anything you want.”
Josh and Sean both heaved internal sighs of relief in unison, and their wariness toward Yuri relaxed significantly again. An idiot was always an idiot; he couldn’t even take an opportunity that had been presented to him on a silver platter.
“Master Krassu, Mr. Mag, please take a seat. Don’t pay any heed to Yuri.” The king turned to Krassu and Mag with a smile as he said, “If you’d like to, you can consider opening a restaurant in Rodu, Mr. Mag. Master Krassu’s original magic room is also in the Magus Tower here, and it’ll be an ideal location for your daughter to continue her studies.”
“I’ll be sure to consider it carefully, Your Majesty.” Mag nodded with a serious expression as a hint of wariness flashed through his eyes. This king was a real piece of work.
