88 Chapter 0088
—-Clap! Clap! Clap!
People applauded after Harold's declaration, and Harold grinned with happiness.
'What's his deal… I need to figure out what's wrong with him.'
I couldn't focus on the event due to the blatant disgust from prince Lorcan.
I had checked just in case the other people with 'Sahhan' in their name had the same look as him, but I was glad to find out that this Lorcan guy was the only one with a screw loose.
"Hey, Knight guy, come here for a second."
I asked Harold's personal knight, James, to come over. I slightly bent towards his ears and asked in a whisper.
"What is wrong with that guy? Why is he staring at me so blatantly? Not to mention it doesn't seem very friendly."
When James looked at 'that guy', he couldn't help but get agitated as he immediately responded.
"My lord, that's the royal prince Lorcan. He's the eldest son of his majesty, the emperor's second wife. Please refrain from talking to him. His hate for all kinds of demons is well known in the empire. The root of his hatred has been said to be the assassination of his mother, the emperor's second wife, in the hands of demons."
James told me about the situation with that crackhead, making me go 'Oh?' from enlightenment.
'So that was the case!'
"James….was it? Do you know that I am not a demon?"
"Obviously, I am aware… wait, what?"
James, who was continuously nodding his head, suddenly stopped in between as he looked at me, confused.
"Is lord Shura really not a demon? But…"
"What do you mean but? Don't go on my appearance! No demon can match my charms. And do you think the goddess or the Gaia would bless a demon?"
I asked blatantly. It was the truth. I wasn't a demon. Rather, I was my own race, a new race created by myself. I was an Enigma.
"Lord Shura is truly the goddess's envoy! Of course, why didn't I think about it before? You were even able to cure princess Ena. Oh my god, we have been blessed with a god's envoy! Lord Shura! Can you please pray for my impotence? I haven't been able to have any kids, and my wife & I have been very upset about it."
I almost laughed publicly but ended up suppressing it. With a serious expression, I reassured James that by the will of the goddess, his impotence would be cured soon.
"Shura, come here. Meet the royal princes and princesses."
Harold said and gestured for me to come near him.
"Here, this is prince 4th prince Francis, and this is 11th princess Jane."
Harold introduced me to the white-haired prince and princess. They both looked like celebrities, coupled with those blue eyes. Their hair colour was different from Lorcan, who had black hair but was handsome nonetheless.
'Royals really carry around some high-quality genes, huh? If I hadn't gotten lucky with my own genes, I would have been really jealous right now.'
"Greetings, lord Shura. It's a pleasure meeting you. I have long since heard of your great name. Congratulations on becoming a legend of this generation."
Francis smiled beautifully and held his hands out for a handshake. I shook hands with him.
"The pleasure is mine. Forgive me if I lack coursey."
"Haha, it is fine. You don't need to worry about all that stuff with me, I am not like those old geezers."
"Brother, mind your words."
The princess, Jane, remarked sharply at Francis's aloof words, making him chuckle. They both looked to be the same age as me, while Lorcan looked significantly older, around 30 years old.
"It is very pleasant to make acquaintances with you."
Jane said right after reprimanding her brother. Her face also had the same smile, but it didn't carry the honesty that Francis's smile did. Her smile was more of a business smile that you'd see on the faces of many big shots.
She held her hand out too, but differently from Francis. It was held out horizontally.
`What are you waiting for, you hobo? Kiss her hand.`
Prolus said, and I took her hand and kissed it lightly.
'Although she seems to be apprehensive, she at least doesn't have the same disgust that their fellow brother over there has.'
Not to mention she knew where to keep her boundaries. She said that they were just 'acquaintances', which can also be interpreted as her currently have no interest in forming any kind of friendship with me.
'These nobles and royals have such a roundabout and exhausting way of talking.'
I didn't reply to Jane because I had already talked to Francis and had responded in a way where it can be taken with me greeting the both of them.
"Princess Ena is entering!"
A guard announced, and Ena, alongside her mother, entered the hall.
Gasp!
I could hear clear gasps of envy and admiration from the crowd. Even Jane couldn't help but stare at Ena in admiration.
Ena looked breathtakingly beautiful in the long white gown, with a piece of white cloth tied around her neck. Her mother held her hand, and the beautiful mother and daughter duo walked in together.
~~Beautiful.~~
`Beautiful.`
~~Hey! What's going on? Take me out, I wanna see too!~~
Unlike Song or Prolus, Drew was a living being who was residing inside my pet inventory with a physical body. So it was impossible for him to see what was going on outside unless I took him out of his inventory, which I obviously couldn't right now.
"Ah, my gorgeous wife and beautiful daughter. Come, let us start the ceremony."
I was honestly stunned at how beautiful Ena could look. As we got closer to the podium, we naturally held each other's hands like a scissor.
"You look really handsome."
Ena whispered slowly as we walked, and I couldn't help but feel a rush inside my body. Getting compliments was one thing, but getting compliments from such beauty was a totally different case.
"And you look absolutely stunning. I swear I dropped my job when I saw you."
"Oh? And have you found it yet?"
Ena asked teasingly, making me chuckle as she giggled slowly.
After we stood on the podium, which was just a foot taller than the normal ground, Harold, who was dressed in a navy blue coloured suit and looked extremely noble, started his speech as he placed one hand on Ena's shoulder and the other on mine.
"First of all, I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for coming to share my happiness."
Harold said as he looked at us with loving eyes, making everyone present cheer and hold out their wine glass to show appreciation for his words.
"Secondly, I would like to thank the royal highnesses for coming and gracing us with their presence. My daughter and son-in-law have really been blessed to have you come over."
And so, Harold's speech proceeded as he talked about how Ena was born after so many prayers and how after losing Ena's mother, his first wife had given Ena the same amount of love that any blood-related mother would give. How he felt like his life was going to end when Ena's health suddenly deteriorated for the worse.
Until one fateful day, his future son-in-law, aka me, arrived in their lives.
"Ah! Sorry, I kind of got lost in emotions there. Let's not waste any more time on this old man's blabbering and proceed with the main event!"
Harold said, and everyone laughed. Soon after, Harold called for a few maids to bring in the rings for the engagement.
"Ah, that. I have actually prepared a ring of my own as a gift for my future wife."
I said as I took out the Ring that I had made with heartfelt emotions for the person who was willing to spend her life with me.
"Oh my god! Is that a Legendary halo?"
"I am not seeing things! It's really the legendary halo! A five-star halo!"
"A legendary item… to think that I would be able to see one in my life. I feel blessed and jealous."
That's right, the item that I had chanced upon due to my sponsor.
