Chapter 235: Where My Patience Ends
The chaos of the engagement conflict had finally settled.
Both Serena and Amelia looked genuinely happy, their smiles warm and content. The tension in the room had vanished, replaced with a strange kind of harmony.
King Aslan, meanwhile, was doubled over laughing.
He approached Envi, placed a firm hand on his shoulder, and said with a wide grin:
"I didn’t think you’d actually live up to everything Amelia told me about you, Naoki. At first, I was only testing you... but you’ve seriously impressed me!"
"Haha, I didn’t expect that either," Envi replied, sounding a little too relaxed for my liking. "Honestly, I thought you were really going to cut me down with that sword of yours."
King Aslan leaned in slightly and whispered in his ear with a cheeky smile:
"As long as you love Amelia and stay by her side... I won’t mind if you decide to take on a few more concubines. It’s not uncommon for royalty to have... a larger family."
"C-c-concubines?! Me? A king?!" Envi stammered, visibly caught off guard.
King Aslan chuckled and gave him a firm nod.
"Of course! Once you marry Amelia, I intend to pass the throne to you. What, don’t tell me you’re going to turn down becoming king?"
