As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

"This should be Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Chenxing glanced at his fiancée who would betray him and throw herself into the arms of the protagonist in the future. Although he showed a kind smile on the surface, he actually had no good feelings towards her in his heart.

To be exact, I don't have a good impression of elves as a whole.

In the original plot, the elves have always been arrogant and condescending.

Even the original protagonist is treated that way.

It's just like a foul-mouthed fisherman. If it weren't for the mission reward, no one would be willing to trigger the Elf Forest mission.

(Note: The foul-mouthed fisherman refers to the orphan fisherman in the Terraria game, who is famous for his extremely arrogant and foul-mouthed dialogue, such as: Oh! Thank you for catching the fish I wanted, you can go away now!)

This is why Morning Star chose the Elf Forest as its first target.

After all, when I was playing the game, I was often disgusted by the elves in the Elf Forest.

He also forced the protagonist to sacrifice himself for the heart of the ancient elf tree.

This time, Morning Star wants to see what expressions these elves will have when the heart of the ancient elven tree is absorbed.

"You can just call me Xibel. This time we are here..."

Sibel spoke in a conflicted tone, pinching her skirt with both hands anxiously.

Suddenly asking other people to help them rescue the ancient elf tree or something, and also asking them to give up the knowledge that originally belonged to them.

Xibel always felt that doing this was not a good thing.

But if the ancient elf tree cannot be restored, everyone will...

"Don't be nervous. I'm not that difficult to communicate with. I also know that you two came here for cooperation. It is naturally a great honor to be able to cooperate with the Forest of Elves..."

Morning Star slowly stood up and walked towards the two of them.

Hearing this, Xibel also breathed a sigh of relief.

But Caroline on the side clearly heard it.

Is it just as she thought? This is definitely the rhythm of the lion opening its mouth.

But it doesn’t matter. For human beings, it’s nothing more than money, status and women.

Using Xibel as a condition for cooperation is enough.

Caroline even felt that this might be the original intention of Sahira to let Sibel come over.

"However, since this is a cooperation, we can't just let the Grullit Kingdom pay blindly, so... I have a little request here..."

Morning Star said this and Caroline also revealed a hint of a sneer.

As expected, after all, we are just...human beings.

"I hope to cancel our engagement!"

"Let the princess marry you or something..."

Caroline had originally wanted to save some face by using the engagement, but she hadn't expected the other party to choose directly...

Break off the engagement?

Or cancel the engagement with the Elf Princess!

That’s the Elf Princess, the next Elf Queen!

Other countries have a lot of dignitaries and nobles who are eager to get them!

"Did you just say...what??"

Caroline looked at Morningstar in disbelief.

What is this? A mere human is going to break off his engagement with an elf?

Compared to Caroline, Sibel was much more relaxed.

After all, she felt a little uncomfortable about marrying a stranger.

Especially when the rumors about Morning Star outside are not very friendly.

"Didn't the envoy hear me clearly? I thought I was very clear. I said... I want to cancel my engagement with the elf princess. To put it simply... I want to cancel the engagement!"

Chenxing spread his hands and explained again.

The elf princess is indeed pretty and has a good figure, but so what?

Agnes, Sheila and even Ross are by my side.

What's more, after he occupied the Elf Forest, wouldn't all the elves be under his control? Why would he still care about an Elf Princess?

Why do you have to be so humble and act like a bootlicker just for a marriage contract?

Chapter 16 Even if I am making excuses, so what?

"Cancel the engagement? Are you kidding me? Do you think the elves' engagement is like yours, where you can cancel it at will?"

Caroline said, her expression becoming noticeably gloomy.

Let’s not talk about the impact that would occur if the news of the elf princess’ broken engagement spread to other countries.

If this engagement was really cancelled, wouldn't it be easier for Sibel to return and inherit the throne legitimately?

That's my own plan...

no! This must not be allowed to happen!

The other party has to marry this elf princess even if he doesn't want to!

It would be best if Xibel could stay here...

"Lady Caroline, the other party doesn't want to..."

Sibel wanted to say something, but was scared back by Caroline's look.

In her opinion, even if two people get married without any emotional foundation, they will not be happy in the future, right?

On the contrary, what Sibel hopes to see is the cancellation of the engagement.

But I don't know why, when it comes to breaking off the engagement, Lady Caroline...

"We have come all the way here, but you want us elves to bear the loss ourselves just because of one sentence from you? Or are you so unreliable to keep your promises..."

Caroline frowned, and her tone became noticeably more serious.

The elves traveled across mountains and rivers to come to the weakest country, but finally left with the ending of breaking off the engagement. Even if they, as the parties involved, could choose to keep this matter secret, as long as the wedding was not held as scheduled, anyone with a little bit of intelligence would be able to see the clues, right?

It would be a joke if the princess of the Elf Forest came to the door in person but was turned away.

"Promises? Did I make any promises?"

Chenxing smiled calmly.

But to Caroline, this smile was extremely ironic.

"Don't forget that you, as the king of the Kingdom of Grullit, personally agreed to the marriage..."

"Yes, I agreed to the marriage, but did I say that I must marry your princess?"

"You...you are just making up excuses!!"

Caroline couldn't hold back her emotions any longer, and her eyes were filled with anger.

Is the other party making fun of them?

"Your Excellency, marriage is my private matter. It is not the turn of others to interfere. Besides..."

As Chenxing spoke, the smile on his face suddenly stopped.

"Even if I'm making excuses, what can I do?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Agnes, who had been standing at the door, also had a cold gleam in her eyes.

The sudden feeling of oppression made Caroline's forehead covered with cold sweat.

Their elf troops have now been separated, and even if they were all there, facing that red-haired demon...

I'm afraid there is no chance of winning.

From the moment we entered the city, the other party might not even think about discussing cooperation!

Thinking of this, Caroline clenched her fists.

"Okay, don't be nervous. We are here to discuss cooperation, right? We can put the engagement aside for now."

Just when Caroline's heart was in her throat, Chenxing suddenly changed his attitude.

As the oppressive feeling from Agnes disappeared, Caroline breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking at the morning star in front of her, she was even more confused about what the other party wanted to do.

He just showed that attitude, but now he suddenly talks about cooperation...

"You two must be tired after coming all the way here. How about you take a rest first and then we can continue the discussion later?"

Morningstar continued, causing Caroline to slowly sigh.

The situation in the Elf Forest cannot be delayed at all, and those things must not be exposed to outsiders...

"Your Highness, just tell us what you want. We are willing to make concessions except for canceling the engagement!"

Caroline had no choice but to do so.

If Chenxing really lets things drag on like that, everything will be in trouble.

Even if she wants to become the next queen of the Elf Forest, the prerequisite is that the Elf Forest still exists.

"whatever?"

At this point, Chen Xing's eyes flickered noticeably.

This was the purpose of everything he had just done.

"As long as it doesn't violate our elves' principles!"

Caroline had no choice but to make concessions.

But there was still a hint of viciousness hidden in those seemingly compromised eyes.

In her opinion, as long as she can endure this disaster, she will be able to...

"My request is also very simple. You elves... have a unique magic that can communicate with the ancient elven trees, right?"

As the words fell, Caroline's expression changed obviously.

The other party wants...that magic?

The elves do possess a kind of magic passed down from their ancestors that is specifically used to communicate with ancient elven trees.

It's just that kind of magic can only be used by people with elven blood.

What's the use of giving that kind of thing to the other party?

But is this really the other party’s purpose?

At least Caroline felt that the other party's thoughts might not be that simple.

"I'm sorry, this is a secret of our elves, and this kind of thing also requires the approval of Her Majesty the Queen..."

"Is that so? Then let's wait a little longer and discuss cooperation after your Lady Queen approves it."

Chen Xing's words left Caroline speechless on the spot.

This guy has already made sure they are in his grasp!

"If it were just that magic..."

Sibel on the side hesitated for a long time before speaking.

If it is for the future of the elves, a magic like that to communicate with the ancient tree is worth it.

What's more, even if the magic spreads out, it will not have any impact on the elves, right?

Only elves can use that magic, and all the elves are in the Elf Forest, so it is impossible for them to do anything that would damage the ancient elven tree...

After all, the ancient elven tree represents the life of the elves, and which elf would be willing to seek death?
