Chapter 1090 The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (78)
The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (Seventy-Eight)
Alpha met with the heroes and the people from the temple. Of course, it was no ordinary meeting; people of their noble status naturally deserved a formal banquet.
The banquet was initiated by the temple, and the entire team received invitations. Princess Saramanti's invitation, in particular, was exceptionally formal, highlighting her noble status as royalty.
Alpha was initially wary of this, but over time he naturally came to understand that even though he was now a high-level mage, this status was still not enough for many superiors.
"Alpha, you're so slow! Hurry up, let's go in together."
A sweet, charming voice interrupted him. Alpha looked over and saw Princess Sarahmandy, dressed in her finest attire, looking at him haughtily. The air of elegance that only royalty could cultivate made Alpha's eyes flash.
"Here I am. After all, I am going to a banquet with our noble and beautiful princess today, so of course I have to prepare well so as not to embarrass our princess."
Sarah Mandy remained haughty despite his words, but she didn't refute him. She simply snorted softly and extended her hand.
Alpha calmly took her hand and then put it in his arm.
"Then let's go, Your Highness, I think the Hero Prince must be eager to go as well."
"That guy is so boring. He'll probably be wearing that mercenary suit again."
Sarah Mandy looked disgusted and a little impatient. "I really don't know why my father would choose him to be the hero. If you ask me, the real hero could be someone else."
Her gaze fell arrogantly on Alpha, containing a hint of girlish infatuation and approval, but more than anything else, it held other emotions.
Alpha tried to maintain a smile, his tone indulgent.
"His Majesty the King naturally has his own plans. Besides, the hero is a matter of fate, a result of prophecy, and not something that anyone can decide."
Sarah Mandy was a little unconvinced, but she also knew that what he said was true.
Even if she disliked the hero, he was the one who was recognized, but...
She bit her lip and secretly turned her head to look at Alpha's handsome and debonair profile, her eyes darting away.
In fact, given her abilities, she shouldn't be in this team, but her father specifically called her over before they set off to tell her the truth.
"...As the princess of the empire, you enjoy all the conveniences and benefits that the empire provides for you. Now the empire needs you to make contributions for a greater good."
"Why me? Why can't it be someone else?"
"Of course not, my dear Sarahmanti. You are my most beautiful and noblest daughter. Only you can personally take charge of the hero in the hands of our royal family. Your mission is to make the hero fall deeply in love with you during the mission."
"What? Why would I do that?"
"Of course, it's for the future. Only when he falls deeply in love with you during the mission will it be the day you and he get married."
"Him? I'm engaged to him?"
“That’s right. Only in this way will people attribute the credit to our royal family, and only then can our rule over the empire be more stable and last longer.”
