Marriage with Queen Siora?
Marriage with Queen Siora?
Looking at the angry elf queen who was about to attack, Ajax injected the essence of nature into the Emperor spirit beast pendant.
'Swoosh'
As soon as he injected it, a common-looking eagle appeared in front of him and landed on his shoulder.
'Huh? Is this an Emperor spirit beast?'
Ajax didn't sense any cultivation from the eagle on his shoulder and frowned.
"Haha…do you think that little birdie can save you?"
Looking at the summoned spirit beast on Ajax's shoulder, Queen Siora could not help but scoff at him.
'Did I get fooled again?'
Earlier, the bloodline awakening potion he received from his master Bloodline Emperor Mostror didn't work and now the pendant was also the same.
"Do something."
Nevertheless, Ajax didn't want to believe that his master fooled him and asked the eagle on his shoulder to do something.
'Screech'
As soon as Ajax finished his words, the eagle stretched its wings and released a loud screech.
'Putong'
When Queen Siora heard that screech, she could not help falling to her knees.
"Huh? What just happened?"
Siora looked at the eagle on Ajax's shoulder with a shocked look.
'Screech'
To her reply, the eagle released another screech and an unknown pressure descended onto her which pressed her to the ground.
'Damn it…what is that spirit beast? What cultivation level did it achieve to become that powerful.'
She was shocked and her head was filled with many questions.
"So, what do you say? Do you acknowledge me as your master?"
Ajax asked her with a calm look.
"No…I can't marry you unless my mother approves of you."
Gritting her teeth, Queen Siora replied to Ajax.
One could sense the traces of fear in her voice.
"Damn it…how many times should I tell you. I just want you to acknowledge me as your master."
Ajax facepalmed as he replied, "As for your marriage, you can marry anyone you like."
"Mother, please help me."
However, Queen Siora didn't listen to Ajax as she called her mother for help.
"Your mother?"
Ajax frowned because according to Flinar, Queen Siora was born from the lesser world tree.
'Wait a second…since she was born from the lesser world tree, the mother must be the tree, right?'
All of a sudden, Ajax realized who the mother of Queen Siora was.
"Who dares to bully my daughter?"
In the next second, an angry female voice resounded in the tree chamber and hundreds of sharp tree branches appeared around Ajax.
'Swoosh'
Those sharp tree branches didn't give any time for Ajax to react as they directly attacked him.
'Screech'
However, the eagle on his shoulder released a screech that turned all the incoming sharp tree branches into dust.
'Cool'
Ajax was surprised to see that the eagle could do such things without even moving from its place.
'I wonder how powerful it is.'
Even though he knew that the spirit beast had an Emperor realm cultivation, it was able to suppress Queen Siora who was also a powerful Emperor realm cultivation just from its screech.
So, of course, he was curious about the true strength of the eagle on his shoulder.
'Brat, I can only help you for another two minutes. Do you want me to kill the woman and the tree?'
A cold voice resounded in Ajax's head.
"No"
Ajax could guess that voice belonged to the eagle on his shoulders and when he heard those words, he unconsciously denied it.
What Ajax wanted was not to kill Queen Siora, he wanted her to acknowledge him as the master.
As long as she acknowledges him, his mission to become the leader of the 'Ancient Evergreen Woods' would be fulfilled and he would gain full control over the Five Elemental World.
"Who are you?"
The tree's voice once again resounded in the tree chamber; however, this time, it was not angry; instead, it had a slight fear and worry.
"I have already conquered the three regions of the Five elemental world and this is the last region I want to conquer."
Ajax cleared his throat and started explaining everything to the lesser world tree.
"So, if your daughter doesn't acknowledge me as your master, then I could only kill everyone."
Even though Ajax didn't plan to kill anyone from the 'Ancient Evergreen Woods', he threatened the world tree and Queen Siora who was on the ground.
"Th..this is…"
The lesser world tree was surprised by Ajax's words as it could not finish her words.
"Now, tell me whether your daughter is going to acknowledge me as her master or not?"
Ajax could tell that the threat was working much better than he imagined.
So, he decided to strike the iron while it was still hot.
"I don't have any problem with Siora acknowledging you as your master; however, she is only 15 years old. Can you please wait for 5 years to marry her?"
The tree's voice seemed happy as she asked Ajax to wait for 5 years.
Since Ajax was so young and had a powerful spirit beast protecting him, the lesser world tree thought Ajax must have a powerful background.
'As long as I receive help from such a powerful family, I can reach new heights along with Siora and the other elves.'
This was what the lesser world tree thought when it agreed to Ajax's words.
"What?"
When Ajax heard the initial words of the tree, he was happy; however, he was shocked by the last part of its lines.
"I am not talking about marriage. I am just talking about the acknowledgement of a master. Why do you keep on relating it to marriage?"
Ajax shouted at Queen Siora and the lesser world tree.
"In our race, acknowledging a master is equivalent to marrying that person. Moreover, you need to become the King of the elves if you want other elves to follow you."
The world tree's voice resounded in the tree chamber as it continued to explain.
"Since you are not an elf, you could only become a part of our race by marrying someone and if you want to become a King, then you have to marry the queen of the elves."
"What?"
Ajax was shocked and looked at Queen Siora before thinking, 'No wonder she was angry when I asked her to acknowledge me as her master.'
'Also, what's with her age? She is only 15 years old? Who will believe that?'
Queen Siora looked to be in her early twenties. So, Ajax found it hard to believe.
Nevertheless, Ajax believed it because he knew Queen Siora born from the lesser world tree.
"Sorry. You misunderstood my intentions. I just want this 'Ancient Evergreen Woods' under my control."
Ajax shook his head.
"Okay then. You can only kill us then. Without the acknowledgment from my daughter, you can never gain control over the 'Ancient Evergreen Woods'."
How could the lesser world tree miss an opportunity of becoming more powerful by making Ajax his son-in-law?
Moreover, even though it could sense that Ajax killed so many beings, it felt Ajax was not the type to kill someone without a reason.
So, it decided to gamble on its life along with the rest of the elves in the 'Ancient Evergreen Woods'.
'Huh?'
Hearing the tree's words, both Ajax and Queen Siora were shocked.
Ajax didn't expect the lesser world tree would directly say that he could only get the territory by marrying Queen Siora who looked mature but was only 15 years old.
As for Queen Siora, she didn't expect that her mother would agree to the human condition.
Nevertheless, she remained silent and looked at Ajax with mixed emotions as to what she was thinking in her head, only she knew.
"Go ahead and kill everyone in the territory. Without us, the five elemental wor would be destroyed too."
Ajax stated that the reason why he wanted her daughter to acknowledge him as her master was to get full control over the Five elemental world.
So, finally, the tree used that same reason to threaten Ajax.
"I agree."
All of a sudden, Ajax nodded his head agreeing to the world tree's words.
'What the hell?'
However, in the next second, Ajax cursed because his body agreed to the world tree's words on its own.
"Haha…I knew you can't resist the beauty of my daughter."
However, the world tree didn't know that Ajax truly doesn't mean those words.
Nevertheless, even if she found out, she would ignore it as she already decided to marry Siora to Ajax.
"Siora, do you like him?"
Next, the tree voice asked Siora who stood up from the ground and looked at Ajax with a complicated look on her face.
"Since mother wants me to marry him, Of course, I don't have any problem."
To Ajax's shock, Queen Siora also agreed without any hesitation.
'What?'
Ajax shook his head and wanted to tell him something; however, he heard Siora continue speaking.
"However, I can allow him to touch me when he is more powerful than me."
Queen Siora's cold voice resounded in the tree chamber.
"Of course. Do you think he will not become powerful in the future? Before the official marriage date, he would defeat you without any problem."
The tree's happy voice resounded in the tree chamber.
'They are walking about my marriage and my father is stopping me from talking.'
From the moment he lost control of his body and agreed to the marriage with Quen Siora, Ajax was unable to speak.
And he knew who was doing it. So, he could only listen to the conversation between the tree voice and Queen Siora with a helpless smile.
