Carron glanced at Zorro in mild surprise. The latter calmly explained, "Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness. Over a hundred years ago, both of your fathers were men. Of course, if Your Majesty can't accept a male as your queen consort, just treat what I've said as nothing."
Carron shook his head. "I don't really care whether it's a male or a female. Your suggestion is worth considering. However, most of the men around me are my subordinates. Whom should I marry? You?"
Cold sweat broke out on Zorro's forehead. This question was too terrifying. "Your Majesty, actually there are many other outstanding gentlemen around you."
"Enough. I'm not familiar with them at all. Moreover, those people are just a bunch of brainless fools who are always thinking about getting promoted and like to fight. None of them can satisfy me!"
Zorro sighed, feeling extremely helpless. His Majesty Castor disliked noble ladies so much. Was he not interested in the common women around him either? Would he really stay single all the time and get in trouble with the council? While Zorro was worrying and thinking, a strange sound interrupted his train of thought.
It turned out that Xia Lin was munching on fruits with a crunch. Noticing Zorro looking at him, he even held out the fruit and asked, "What's up? Do you want some? This fruit is incredibly delicious!"
Zorro curled his lips in disgust. "Of course it is. One of these fruits costs thirty - five gold coins. It's more valuable than you!"
Thirty - five gold coins! Oh my! Xia Lin didn't dare to eat anymore and sat there obediently. Carron glanced at him. "It's okay. Eat as you like!"
Hearing this, Xia Lin's eyes lit up. He picked up the half - eaten fruit and continued to munch on it. While eating, he thought to himself: My goodness, is Carron really the villain boss? Why is he so considerate and generous! I'm really starting to fall in love with him!
In the evening, the starship landed on the special large square of the palace. Many nobles had been waiting in front of the main hall.
They were eagerly waiting. When Carron walked up to them, they all knelt down. "Welcome Your Majesty back to the palace."
Carron looked at these nobles expressionlessly. Those who could come to wait in front of the main hall of the palace were the most noble ones, and the lowest - ranked among them was a marquis. At this moment, these people were kneeling here to greet him. Many of them seemed respectful on the surface but actually had their own agendas.
Just as he was about to move forward, a woman suddenly appeared in front of Carron, looking shy and timid. "Your Majesty, this is the wind - spirit grass prepared by Louise for you. I heard it's quite similar to plantain and can relieve Your Majesty's headache."
"Get out of the way!" The merciless rejection made Louise's beautiful face turn pale instantly. She retreated embarrassedly.
Carron was truly "self - willed". He didn't give any face to those who were kneeling outside to greet him. Without saying a word, he entered the main hall and told the servants to close the door.
Zorro looked at Carron and guessed that this ancestor was angry again. Sure enough, Carron issued an order with a bored look on his face. "Send that woman named Louise to the mines on Lasso Star!"
Hearing this, Zorro was about to go and execute the order dejectedly. But at this moment, Xia Lin stepped forward. "Wait a minute!"
Finding that both the villain boss and Captain Zorro, who disliked her very much, were staring at him, Xia Lin felt nervous. The reason why he stepped forward was because of the sudden appearance of the dog - like system.
Just when Xia Lin was curiously looking around the luxurious and magnificent main hall of the palace, [Ding~ New task: Stop Carron from sending Louise to the mines. Reward for success: Mental - energy soothing skill. Punishment for failure: Kiss Carron.]
Xia Lin resisted the urge to curse in his mind. Was he crazy? Kiss the villain boss? What kind of weird punishment was this?
There was no way out. Xia Lin had to "be bold" and step forward, only hoping that the reward for this task was worth his sacrifice.
