You are all my wings...

Timia couldn't help but glance at Leon. Why did this guy say so many sweet words to Orpheus, but never say a nice word to me?

Thinking of this, Timia casually interjected:

"Stop getting bogged down in these details. I think it would be better if young man Lyon married into my family. Although it might not stop the king from following ancestral rules, perhaps he would spare you out of consideration for me?"

Upon hearing this, Ophima glared at Timia: "Don't interrupt!"

Timia had never seen Ophie Marceau with such an expression before, and she pouted, "Alright, you've forgotten your aunt now that you have a man."

This resulted in Ophimosa glaring at her menacingly again, which finally calmed Timia down.

“Lyon Belon, you don’t need to worry about my problems. Whether I am happy or not is for me to decide. You just need to answer me whether you want to marry me or not.”

Ophie Marceau turned back and stared at Lyon with an oppressive gaze.

Clearly, the increase in favorability made her more and more determined.

Although her favorability rating is the lowest among Leon's female characters, her actions are the most assertive.

On the one hand, it's related to her personality; on the other hand, Leon probably also believes it's because she never considered romantic feelings, which made it easier for her to make a decision.

On the contrary, the more Elise and her group worried, the less they dared to talk about such issues.

“Your Highness, I will not agree to marry you as long as it is only a formality.”

With that in mind, Lyon spoke firmly.

Timia was startled. So determined? Orpheus won't be angry, will he?

She quickly observed Ophimaso's expression.

Instead of getting angry, Ophie Marceau asked slowly:

"So, what kind of marriage do you want to feel that isn't just a formality?"

Lyon's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the newly increased favorability had just made Ophie Marceau start to consider other factors related to marriage.

"At the very least, we should kiss once a day."

Lyon originally wanted to say "deep xx", but considering Ophie Marceau's level of acceptance, he only said a relatively moderate behavior.

Timia's eyes widened. Was this kid serious? Wasn't he afraid of upsetting Orpheus?

"can."

Chapter 218 Britta: I disagree!

can?

Orpheus's decisiveness exceeded Lyon and Timia's expectations.

Leon assumed that Ophie Marceau would definitely refuse, given that her previous behavior had already shown that she vehemently disliked matters between men and women.

Surprisingly, she said yes without hesitation.

"Your Highness, are you aware that kissing between husband and wife is different from ordinary behavior?"

"you mean?"

"I mean the interaction between the tongue and saliva."

"Is this the kind? Hmm, if it's yours, it's not impossible."

Orpheus stared at Leon's lips for a moment, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Goodness, Lyon could only exclaim, "Goodness!"

Ophie Marceau wasn't interested in this at all, was she?

Wasn't she firmly opposed to romantic relationships?

How could you suddenly agree?

A 62% favorability rating shouldn't be enough to cause such a big change in her, right?

Or perhaps Ophie Marceau felt that this was also a form, a form that was barely acceptable.

He forced himself to say, "Your Highness, isn't this pushing you too hard?"

"Forced? I definitely wouldn't agree to this with anyone else. Don't worry, if you marry me, I'll only do this kind of thing with you for the rest of my life, and I'll only want to do it with you... So, are you going to marry me or not?"

A fleeting blush appeared on Ophima's face.

Once things returned to normal, she asked the question again.

Just as Leon guessed, she did feel that if it was just kissing, she could barely accept it.

After all, Leon had already tasted saliva before and said it was sweet (even though she herself didn't find it sweet).

Since her saliva tasted sweet to Leon, she decided to give him a proper reward.

After all, Leon was a hero who had caught the assassin. If he were forced to marry because of that, it would be a real sacrifice for him.

Of course, in Ophimosa's heart, she was willing to sacrifice more.

After all, she was extremely disdainful of matters between men and women!

To this day, she still believes that she cannot change this view!

At this point, Timia also noticed a key problem: given Orpheus's personality, he kept mentioning the word "marry me."

Based on Timia's understanding of her, when faced with such a semi-forceful situation, the words she would say would be something like "Marry me" or "Come and marry into my family," which are more proactive.

The result was that the verbs were passive several times, which shows that there was a subtle change in Ophimaso's mindset that even she might not be aware of.

Timia got a headache just thinking about it.

Are these two really going to take that step?

Although she knew Leon was a good man, wasn't it a bit too hasty for Orpheus to make a decision so quickly?

Even with royal rules in place, she wouldn't consider other ways to save her life?

Why must one choose between marriage and beheading?

So, should I bring up something serious and try to stop this from going any further?

Just as Timia was thinking this, she heard a clear and crisp voice:

"I disagree!"

Shifting her gaze, Timia noticed that the curtain had been suddenly lifted, and two beautiful women strode in.

It was none other than Berylita and her long-lived teammate, Iris, a diplomat from the Elven Holy Land!

Upon seeing the two of them, Timia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Well, with these two people here, it'll be difficult for Orpheus's marriage proposal to move forward.

Britta walked quickly to Leon and met Ophie Marceau's gaze:

"Ophimaso, did you ask for my permission before you planned to do anything to my strategist?"

Iris quickly walked to Leon's side, gripping her magic wand tightly, and looked at Ophima with her head held high.

The two had met Mshifisu before, but were forced to arrive late.

Before they arrived at the camp, they were stopped by the guards in their attempt to enter.

Having just experienced an assassination attempt, the guards dared not relax.

Therefore, Berylita just forced her way in.

Soon after Burelita and Iris arrived, a group of knights charged in:

"Your Highness, please forgive me..."

"You don't need to say anything more. After all, it's Birelita. It's normal that you can't stop her. Just leave. Don't worry, Birelita is a saintess. She certainly won't do anything here."

Ophima Sowe glanced at them sternly, and the knights immediately knew to leave.

Soon, only one man and four women remained on the field.

Each of them is exceptionally good-looking, and their demeanor is refined and otherworldly.

Lyon was actually not keen on having Britta and Iris at this event.

There is still room for discussion in the current situation.

But if there are more people and more variables now, then it's hard to talk about.

Even if Berylita could temporarily take me away, this problem would still be difficult to solve.

Since the rumors have been largely confirmed, I must face this issue.

At this moment, Ophimasso turned to look at Brittany and said with a smile:

“Breita, although Leon is your strategist, it doesn’t seem to prevent him from getting married, nor does it prevent me from being his bride, nor does it prevent me from talking to him without your consent, right? Besides, your strategist did see my body this time, caught me red-handed, there’s no denying that.”

Brelitta also felt that Lyon had probably really messed up today.

But she wasn't about to admit defeat, and coldly replied:

"The perpetrator was caught red-handed? Where is the evidence?"

Ophima looked at Timia.

Timia blinked, looking somewhat troubled.

Deep down, she wanted to stop Orpheus.

Brierita brought over the steps, and she considered whether to go along with Brierita's lead and say that she wasn't sure if Leon had seen them.

But wouldn't such obvious bias make Orpheus even more embarrassed?

She was conflicted for a moment.

Seeing that Timia remained silent, Ophimaso assumed she hadn't seen his gaze and said:

“Timia, you are a witness. You can tell Britta what you saw earlier.”

Timia could only say:

"Well, back then..."

Berylita interrupted:

“You are a group with shared interests, and witness testimonies are not enough to convince you! After all, you already have a record of defaming Lyon once, don’t you? Ophie Marceau, think about it carefully, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

Timia was grateful and thought it was good that she was interrupted!

Leon inwardly praised her, thinking, "As expected of Britta, she said what only she could say."

Even if it were someone else, even Iris, they couldn't deny it here.

Because Iris doesn't have much say right now, although she is exceptionally talented and has amazing potential, she has not yet taken on an important position in the Elven Holy Land. Her current status as a diplomat is only that of a subordinate official, below Grani.

Only when Iris finishes her training among humans and returns to the Elven Sanctuary, gaining the Sacred Tree's recognition as a sixth-order Light Elementalist and inheriting the identity of 'Radiant Light Elf', will she receive a significant boost in status and position.

After all, in the Elven Sanctuary, only those at the sixth rank or higher can be considered truly formidable elves (the human standard is the fourth rank).

Moreover, Brierita has essentially given Ophie Marceau a way out. If Ophie Marceau is willing to drop the matter, she can then smoothly transition to saying that she was indeed mistaken.

But will Ophie Marceau take this step now?

Chapter 219 Miss Elizabeth, Don't Be So Intimate with My Future Husband

“This is not slander, nor is it a misreading. In addition to Timia, the magicians to which Leon belongs can also testify.”

Orpheus said calmly:

"The Mage Guild is a force of the Lyon family, not directly under my command. Surely I wouldn't dare to slander him?"

Birelita's face darkened slightly. She hadn't expected that the commotion she caused earlier would be so big that even the members of the magicians' guild had seen it. She also hadn't expected that Ophimaso wouldn't want to take this step.

"Even so, they didn't witness it directly, right? In other words, it's not just your side of the story?"

Iris spoke up.

Although she hasn't yet gained a strong voice, with Burelita leading the charge, it's acceptable for her to cause some trouble as a pure-blood elf diplomat.
