Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"These past few years... you've really had a tough time being my adjutant."

Isaac said with a smile.

“I have a ton of troubles on my end, and they keep disappearing from time to time. Most people would have given up on this kind of work pressure long ago, but you’re the only one who can patiently stay by my side.”

"That's not the case."

Violet said softly.

"Before that, I was always living in a daze, until I met you. You gave me a name and made me exist in this world as a living person."

As the Ferris wheel slowly ascended to its highest point, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the windows into the carriage, bathing the two people in a golden glow.

"From that moment on, my world has only contained you, whether in the past, present, or future."

Hearing Violet's words, Isaac looked somewhat surprised, then pursed his lips and slowly lowered his head.

After a long while, he looked up at Violet, a gentle smile on his face.

"Really……"

After that, Isaac said nothing more.

Until the Ferris wheel slowly descended.

The two stepped out of the Ferris wheel and into the now empty amusement park. By then, it was already dark, and scattered lights were casting shadows on the ground.

Violet.

At that moment, Isaac suddenly spoke up.

Facing Violet's deep blue eyes, Isaac chuckled and said.

"I've always hoped your world could be wider, but... I'm sorry, I might be taking up your world for a very long time."

After a slight pause, Isaac continued.

“You’ve always been busy with my affairs, and I’ve always been focused on my own goals. It’s not an equal exchange, so… you once lived for me, and the rest of my life will belong to you.”

After saying that, to Violet's surprise, Isaac knelt down and took out a diamond ring from his pocket, handing it to Violet.

Will you marry me, Violet?

In the dimly lit amusement park, the streetlights focused their light on the two people.

Violet's body trembled slightly, and tears were already streaming down her bright blue eyes.

She reached out her trembling hand and touched the exquisite diamond ring in front of her.

Scenes from their past interactions flashed through her mind like a slideshow, and Violet's lips trembled slightly before she smiled.

Even though two lines of tears had already streamed down her cheeks and dripped to the ground, they seemed like thousands of stars falling into her eyes and brows, like a beautiful smile as all the withered flowers bloomed anew.

"I...do!"

Chapter 1660: I knew you were going to pull some fancy tricks

Although Isaac and Violet had been calling each other fiancé before, it was just a tacit agreement between them. After the proposal, their relationship was officially established.

The successful proposal felt like a weight had been lifted from Isaac's shoulders, and after that, Isaac...

It's clearly gotten carried away.

"Roy, I'm finally getting married! Hahahaha!!"

"Ptooey!"

Upon arriving in the Algo region of Amestris, Isaac went straight to Roy Mustang's office to announce his upcoming marriage.

Upon hearing this news, Roy spat and said with a look of disgust.

"You got off easy, kid."

"Ha, someone like you who's been single for years is definitely jealous."

"So you come here to provoke me, huh?"

Roy said with a dark expression.

"I've heard that you got beaten up at the naval port for being rude."

The Al-Lugo region was conquered by Amédex a few years ago and is the only coastal region in the entire country, where the navy is basically stationed.

After successfully proposing to Violet, Isaac first announced the good news on social media, and then ran around all the military districts in Amestris, telling everyone he met.

Some congratulated Isaac, but most were unhappy with him.

Violet's popularity in the military is well-known. Her role as Isaac's adjutant already made many people unhappy, and now that the news of her marriage has been released, these people are even more furious.

It just so happens that Isaac went to inspect the naval port today. In reality, he just told everyone he met that he was getting married soon.

As luck would have it, a group of soldiers who had just finished a submarine patrol mission happened to be passing by.

It's unclear whether these people were in a bad mood, but when they saw Isaac there, they started yelling and kicking at everyone, regardless of whether he was a general or not.

Of course, they couldn't break through the defenses at all and were even suppressed by Isaac. They're currently lying in the infirmary.

"Remember to come to the wedding!"

"Okay, I got it, but don't expect me to send any nice gifts." Roy waved his hand.

Amestris does not have the tradition of receiving red envelopes or monetary gifts at weddings. Instead, wedding guests give gifts such as kitchenware or furniture.

"By the way, how big are you planning to have the wedding?" Roy suddenly asked.

"Let's just stay inside the military headquarters and invite some acquaintances. There's no need to make it too complicated."

Isaac said.

"Of course, family members must be present... Well, Violet doesn't have any family members."

Violet has been by Isaac's side since she was very young. Although she has no parents, she has quite a few friends in the military. After all, she is Isaac's adjutant and needs to communicate with various departments on his behalf. She has friends in each department.

"Well... there might be a little trouble with my parents."

“Indeed, the wedding is being held at the military headquarters, but your father is the emperor of the new country, which does make things a bit complicated.”

Roy stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"You need to talk to them about it."

"I think Dad will probably be thinking of doing something fancy."

What?! You're getting married?!

Inside the emperor's bedroom of the new country, the emperor, dressed in a white old man's shirt, gray shorts, and flip-flops, asked in surprise.

Although he was the emperor of the world's most powerful country, he dressed like a fiery evil god in his own palace, showing that he could be as casual as he wanted as long as he wasn't seeing outsiders.

"Yeah, so why don't you and Mom come join us here..."

"Nonsense!"

The emperor was furious and slammed his hand on the keyboard on the table.

As for why there's a computer in the emperor's room, both the New Kingdom and Amestris share technology, so the New Kingdom naturally has everything Amestris has. The emperor is also one of those people who surf the internet intensively every day.

"How can the Crown Prince's wedding be held in another country? I absolutely cannot allow such a frivolous affair!"

"But Dad, I never said I wanted to be the crown prince, did I? Besides, where does your son work..."

"Let's hold the wedding at the new State Council Building! It must be a grand affair! The whole country should celebrate!"

"I knew you were going to pull some fancy tricks, Dad."

If we were to follow the tradition of the Crown Prince's wedding in the new country, the scene would be extremely grand, and the procedures would be very complicated. In the early stages, it would be necessary to issue an imperial edict, present betrothal gifts, select an auspicious date, and announce it to the world.

After that, there are a bunch of messy procedures such as welcoming the bride, drinking the nuptial cup, and bestowing the title of Crown Princess.

This is a far cry from the simple process Isaac and Violet had agreed upon: getting together with friends, having a meal, and that would be the end of it.

There was nothing Isaac could do about his father's tendency to make everything seem bigger than it was, so he could only say, "Dad, have you ever thought about the serious problem that would arise if I became the crown prince?"

"What's the problem?"

"I only have one wife, Violet. If I become the crown prince and then the emperor, then she will be the empress."

"correct."

“Here’s the problem: Violet isn’t a citizen of the new country. In our local context, she’s considered a foreigner. So wouldn’t our future son be a ‘half-blooded prince of a foreign race’? People will gossip about him inheriting the throne.”

Of course, Isaac only mentioned these points.

That little baby who has merged his and Violet's genes will one day possess infinite energy, be able to crush an entire galaxy's stars with a flick of his wrist, and be a high-dimensional being who can traverse time as easily as taking a stroll. Asking him, "Can your bloodline make you the emperor of a country on Earth?" is somewhat laughable.

Let's talk about Isaac and Violet.

Isaac himself goes without saying, having already attained the truth, and even Violet is at the level where she could destroy human civilization in an instant.

Human etiquette and customs are of no real concern to them.

But in order to make his wedding at least a little normal, Isaac could only say that.

"Kid, how come your perspective has become so narrow?"

The emperor glanced sideways at Isaac.

"If you become emperor and lead the new country to unify the world, then there will be no foreign tribes. We will all be one family."

"..."

"Oh, by the way, when are you going to bring my imperial grandson over?"

Isaac took a deep breath and then said.

"I don't care. Violet and I will just have a simple wedding in Amestris. You can come or not, it's up to you."

"Come on, since I'm going on a state visit soon anyway, let's take this opportunity to attend your wedding."

Chapter 1661: I'm Going to Stir Up a Fire

"Congratulations... Your Highness..."

"Lanfang, are you really congratulating me? Why are you speaking through gritted teeth?"

Upon returning to the Yao family home in the new country, Isaac planned to tell Madam Yao and Yao Lin about the matter. After hearing that Isaac was about to get married, they all offered their congratulations.

Besides Lanfang.
