Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: An engagement proposal

After he hunts and eats the first magical beast, Elizabeth anticipated that it would take him at least ten to fifteen days to reach the first stage of the Yellow realm. However, it appears that he made it in just one day, which was absurd. 

Elizabeth thougth "No, he must have been cultivating and eating beast meat in the past. After all, someone with Alex's remarkable background is not easy to understand."

Elizabeth was a Black Rock City princess. She doesn't really need anything, but she applied for this butler position out of pride because her father made her marry someone against her will, which she never wanted to do. However, she couldn't fulfil her desires if she remained in the royal palace, so she needed a job, and this butler position at the Blue Cloud Mansion was ideal for her.

The bordering kingdom was far more powerful than Black Rock City and controlled the Spirit Stones Market, thus the King of Black Rock City only sought to control her daughter due to political pressure. If this continues, the adjacent country will inevitably invade Black Rock City.

However, in light of Black Rock City's predicament, the neighbouring city made an offer to the Black Rock city King, stating that all of their previous grievances would be forgotten and they would coexist and peacefully rule this area if Black Rock City Princess Elizabeth was betrothed to the prince.

For this reason, the King wanted her daughter to wed the prince of the neighbouring kingdom so that they could establish an alliance and Black Rock City would survive.

Elizabeth, however, obviously disagreed because, given the neighbouring kingdom Prince's numerous marriages and rumours that he mistreats his women and is cruel to the residents of the nearby city, she would be nothing more than a concubine if she married there. If he sees a girl, he will kidnap her for a few days before returning her to her family once he is happy. Sometimes the girl is brutally killed if she fails to please the prince over.

Elizabeth wanted to leave the Royal Palace and choose her own life partner, but the Black Rock City King did not stop her because he did not want her to wed that nasty prince. Since the daughter was disobedient and he had no involvement, the nearby city cannot hold him accountable if she married on her own initiative.

Elizabeth was aware of her father's situation, so she did not despise him and left the royal palace because she could not give herself over to that ruthless prince. She also realised that if she were to marry someone, the offer would be void and the neighbouring kingdom would not be able to attack the Black Rock City Kingdom because of her.

She was therefore in a hurry to find a life partner who would be suitable for the future the queen the Princess of Black Rock City. She occasionally wanted to leave Black Rock City to find a Prince of another kingdome because only a prince was suited for her, but the king forbade it, and she was expected to find someone within the city.

She had been looking for that right individual for so many days, travelling throughout the city and changing jobs. But she couldn't find a man. Then she was hired as a butler at the Blue Cloud Mansion, and while the salary was good not that it mattered since she was the princess the surroundings and working conditions were far superior than those of any other job she had held in the previous few months.

She assumed that the owner of the Blue Cloud Mansion would be a middle-aged or older man with a bald head, an ugly, obese body, and a large belly because, typically, people who are wealthy enough to purchase a mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars are like that, and people who are young and attractive are dirty and impoverished.

There seemed to be sparks in the air as she greeted Alex that day. She could not take her eyes off Alex because she felt like something had shifted inside of her and her heart was tingling, like if Cupid had already launched his arrow at her.

In addition to being extremely young and attractive, Alex was extremely wealthy, as evidenced by the Blue Cloud Mansion. Her meeting with Alex seemed to have been predestined by fate, and he was her Prince Charming.

So she said "Alex I have already mentioned my circumstances to you and you know that I am the Princess and why I am here right."

Alex said "Yes! Offcourse. I know that your father has forced you to marry some prince without your consent right."

Elizabeth said "Yes but that is only part of the reason. Even he loved me as a father and he also did not want me to marry into the neighbouring kingdom. That's why he said if I could find someone suitable for me than the marriage proposal will be cancelled and I will be free to live my life."

Elizabeth said "I also adore you, Alex. You have my undying love. I can't think of having anyone else in my life. I want to spend my entire life with you and consider you to be my lifelong companion. Would you then get married to me?"

Alex said "Yes offcourse! I love you Elizabeth and I will marry you."

Elizabeth hugged Alex and they both kissed. Elizabeth said "Oh I love you Alex so much."

Alex said "So even your father did not want you to marry that Prince right. So he will give you blessings if you choose someone to marry right."

Elizabeth said "Offcourse he will."

Alex said "But will he approve of me after all I am not even a Prince and for a Princess only a Prince is suitable."

Elizabeth said "That is not an obstacle, and he was the one who came up with the idea to locate someone from Black Rock City it might not need to be a prince. Additionally, he will be overjoyed to learn that you are the current owner of Metallic Automobile Private Limited, which has been a problem for Black Rock City for soo long."
