"Finally here!" Ryu slowed down as he got close to the city gates. This was the biggest city closest to Roland Village. While he had passed by other villages and towns on the way here, the massive city walls and tall buildings made of wood and stone were too eye-catching. Just entering the city was unlike the Flim Village and Roland Village. Here you actually had to wait in line to enter the city.
The line was pretty long, even though it was late into the day. Ryu stood there waiting like everyone else. After about an hour of waiting, Ryu heard a yell come from behind him. "Out of the way! Don't stand in the way of our Miss!"
A loud man's voice yelled out from on top of a carriage benign pulled by two large raptor looking monsters. The carriage itself was very fancy looking with the embedded jewels and gold adorned on the redwood frame. On the front and sides of the carriage was a family crest. Ryu noticed once people saw this crest, people began moving out of the way.
"Quickly move. It is people from the Qin family!" Someone yelled out.
Ryu did not try to stand in the carriage's way. He did as everyone else did and backed up out of the way in order to not cause any issues. He was only here in the city to see how to turn his guild into a clan. But what he did not expect was as the carriage rolled by him, a girl's voice could be heard coming from inside. "Wait! Stop!"
The carriage came to a stop, and the door opened up. A young woman around eighteen to nineteen years of age was helped down by two maids. She wore a white dress that matched her golden blonde hair that loosely draped down her shoulders. Her fair cute round face and big golden eyes that shimmered in the sunlight made her look like a celestial who had ascended down to Earth. She walked over to Ryu and stood in front of him, looking him up and down. "You! What is your name?" The girl asked in an arrogant tone.
Ryu let out a sigh and wished he made a mask to cover his face. He was really getting sick of these girls always coming up to him. But because of what he heard from the surrounding people's murmurs, he knew this girl was the princess of the Qin family, a martial arts family. He could feel the girl was actually a cultivator. He couldn't help but think that the world was indeed small. President Chen from the trade skill guild probably had no idea what the nearest city was like. Not wanting to cause a scene, Ryu looked at the cute girl in front of him and smiled as he replied: "My name is Ryu, miss..?"
"My name is Emma, the first daughter of the great Qin Family! I have decided you will be mine!" Emma stated firmly with her nose in the air.
"Ermm… Sorry I am already taken..." Ryu politely rejected. He did not want to cause too much of a scene, but he also did not want to become any girl's plaything. Ryu only wanted to be with Chi, no one else, even if it was only an NPC.
"You! You dare to reject our miss!? You should be honored to even have our Miss take a fancy to you as a commoner!" The little maid at Emma's side stepped forward and yelled.
Ryu let out a sigh as he rubbed his head. He really did not want to deal with all of this. "Listen, I have a wife already, so I can not become yours..."
"I will allow you to take her as your concubine! But I will be your main wife." Emma's words, not only stunned her maids, but also the crowd. They never expected the princess of the Qin family to be willing to allow another woman near the man she took a fancy to.
"Ummm… That is not how it works, sorry. My wife is my wife. So no matter what you say, I will not be able to become your man." Ryu was trying to be polite, but now he was starting to get annoyed.
"I do not think I was giving you a choice." Emma said with a smile on her face.
Ryu suddenly went on guard after seeing the girl's smile. He felt like he was in immediate danger. But before he could even move from where he was standing, he was suddenly grabbed from behind and knocked out. "Miss..."
"Mmm… Take him to my chambers. Tell Papa I have brought him home a son in law. I am sure once he sees how handsome my husband is, he will be satisfied." Emma said as she walked over and planted a kiss on the unconscious Ryu's lips. "We will be home soon, then we can hold our wedding night."
"Young Miss is wise! I am sure Master will take a liking to this young man. Once you produce him a few grandchildren, he will be able to rest assured that the family line will continue without those damn bastards from the side family trying to take up the position as head of the family." The man in black who was currently holding the unconscious Ryu said through gritted teeth. He did not want the family his master has taken care of for so long to fall into the hands of the side family who had been plotting against them over and over. Now with the young miss taking in a husband, they can finally rebuild the main family line. Only then would the Qin family stabilize.
"Mmm! Papa will be very surprised. I am sure he will be jumping for joy! He has been telling me to keep an eye out for a handsome boy of my liking so I can bear new blood into our main family. Only by doing so can we shut up those old bastards trying to remove my Papa as head. "
