Alex was speechless. âHow many suitors did he have?â
However, considering the fact that he was willing to risk his own life, Alex accepted his request. âAlright,
I promise you that Iâll take care of her. As long as I have one more mouthful of food left, she wonât go
hungry. If youâre meant to live a long life with the
princess, then Iâll help you⦠Mhmm, just donât worryâ¦â
Xerxes was stunned. It was better that Alex didnât speak, his words only made him worry.
Just then, one of the commanders walked down from the dark clouds and stood next to the red chair.
He said to Xerxes in a deep voice, âConsort, please step onto the chair. The auspicious time has
arrived, and the escorting troop of marriage is about to head off!â
Right now, Principal Lewin was on the verge of a breakdown. He roared furiously, âWhat do you mean,
escort! Whoâs the bride here?â
The commander answered honestly, âYou are.â
âPfft!â
Principal Lewin couldnât stand, and he almost passed out.
He tried hard to calm himself down and said, âFine, Iâll get on right now, but my friends must leave
safely, or else I wonât succumb. Iâd rather fight you all for three days and three nights.â
âSure!â The commander promised, then pointed to Alex. âExcept for this guy.â
âWhat did you say?â Alex was taken aback. He pointed to his own nose. âWhat are you going to do to
me?â
The commanderâs face was also wrapped by a thin layer of flesh, which looked terrifying. He let out a
burst of laughter that made him seem like an experienced bandit of the night. âWe donât want anything
from you, but the princess has requested you to follow.â
Alex, too, couldnât stand it anymore. âDonât tell me that your princess wants two consorts?â
Thinking of her hideous face would really bring nightmares.
The commander seemed humorous. As if he had his own personality, he said, âIt depends on your own
effort if you can or cannot be a consort. You can try. But donât worry, even if you donât succeed, you
should have no problem being a concubine.â
âAhaha-ahemâ¦â Mystic Maiden couldnât help laughing.
Even Luneth and the Immortal Bird, who could understand the commander, had difficulty trying not to
laugh.
Xerxes, exasperated, said, âLetâs go, bro. At least we have each other. Donât worry. Iâll praise you in
front of the princess and let her marry you officially as a consort.â
Alex glared at him angrily. âThatâs not necessary. The place of the consort has already been decided,
and itâs yours. The person whoâd sleep with the Princess on the night of marriage can only be you, and
no one else can replace you. At the most, I can be the nurse of your child afterward.â
The commander nodded. âYou have potential! Get on then, if we miss the auspicious time, you friends
will no longer be able to leave.â
Xerxes looked deeply at Mandy and said something to her with divine sense. After that, he walked
towards the red sedan chair.
Alex followed quickly behind.
Whoosh!
The waves carrying the golden boat lowered.
Seeing that, Xerxes sent out a flow of Chi with his palm to the boat. The boat shot like an arrow in the
next moment, tearing past the fog and dark clouds, and went swiftly on its way.
The soldiers did not follow. They didnât even take a glance at the boat.
Once Xerxes was sure his friends were safe, he said to Alex, âPlease, you first.â
Alex said, âNo, no no⦠The consort first, please.â
Right then, two strong gusts of energy came from the chair and dragged the two of them right in.
