Chapter 961
“… Miss Erin?”
Rhode gazed at Erin who was smiling at him curiously. He suppressed a feeling of annoyance in his head and spoke in the most normal tone.
“May I know what’s going on?”
“What do you mean by that, Your Majesty Rhode?”
“Why. Are you. Here?”
Rhode pointed at Erin. He had already sensed the hostile gazes from everyone. Erin tilted her head and pondered for a while. Then, she replied with a smile.
“Oh, this is Big Brother’s order. I’m yours from now onward. Please take good care of me, alright, Your Majesty?”
“… Could you please explain one more time in a less scandalous way?”
“What I said was the truth. Just now, Big Brother told me, ‘from now onward, you’re heading to the Void Territory’. So that’s why I’m here. It’s just that simple.”
Sigh…
Not only that, but Rhode also wouldn’t marry Erin even if he accepted her because he was sure that his entire harem would be blazing in flames, like the aftermath of a volcano eruption. Although there were many women around him, he had never talked about marrying anyone because no matter which choice he made, he would displease the others. This was why he treated them equally. In fact, Canary, Lize, and Marlene were indeed ‘wife material’ and if he were to toss them aside and let Erin take the ‘wife throne’, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, Ion didn’t insist that they had to marry each other. If not, Rhode would surely send Erin back to Country of Darkness even if she wasn’t willing to. He would rather fall out with the Country of Darkness than shake the unity and stability of his harem.
Moreover, Erin wasn’t a fool. It was mentioned earlier that perhaps there would be five legendary generals instead of four if it weren’t for her identity that restricted her from participating in political and military affairs. It would be impossible for him to not worry about having someone who was this bright, powerful, and in a possibly hostile position by his side!
Perhaps Ion was aware of Rhode’s intention, which was why he came up with this offensive proposal. If he were to raise this suggestion in an official setting, Rhode would surely reject on the spot. But the proposal would be harder to refuse if Ion handed Erin over directly. Of course, Rhode would still send her back later, but he was also clear that since Ion had made this decision, she would still return to him like a rebounding ball. Moreover, even if Rhode left her behind in the Country of Law, he was sure that she would make her way to the Void Territory. Back then she bravely sneaked into the Munn Kingdom and had tea with Lydia during the war between the Country of Light and the Country of Darkness. So rather than leaving her wandering in his territory later, Rhode might as well place her somewhere where he could monitor her and stop her from heading places she shouldn’t. Even though he didn’t know if Erin would abandon her identity and become a spy, he needed to consider all the possibilities.
If Erin was interested in becoming a spy, she would be an unstoppable one. Besides, even if she had no intention of doing so, in this developing stage of the Void Territory, many core secrets might possibly be revealed. If she were to notice them, Rhode was confident that her wisdom would help her easily deduce the possibilities. The only thing that Erin shouldn’t learn about was his system…
Rhode knitted his brows. He pondered for a long while before finally making a decision.
“Let Canary and Mini Bubble Gum do the monitoring for now while you take care of her too. She doesn’t seem like one who will settle down for boredom, so please watch out for any problems.”
“No problem, Master. Leave it to me.”
Gillian answered swiftly. Then, she placed her finger on her lips friskily and gazed at him in amusement. Rhode noticed her up-to-no-good stare and twitched his brows.
“Is anything else the matter, Gillian?”
“Yes, Master. How are you going to explain this matter to Her Majesty Lilian?”
“…”
Rhode instantly felt his head spinning.
