“Are the two of you getting married?”
Leopold looked at his son standing in front of him and presented him with this ‘good news.’ Then he glanced at the blond-haired man standing behind his son and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
He couldn’t help looking at his loyal bodyguard, Brenda, beside him. Brenda was now standing on the deck and fishing with a fishing rod.
Since returning to Roland, Leopold had entered a new world and spent almost every day eating.
The braves really knew how to eat. It was to the point where he ate for many days without ever repeating the same dish twice. Out of all the delicacies, his favorite was seafood.
What he didn’t know was that the strategy posts about him on the forum had already been updated.
All players knew that in order to increase the former emperor’s favorability, all they had to do was bring delicious food!
The original post also stated:
This handsome and extraordinary former emperor isn’t picky about food at all. No matter whether it was Chinese crepes or scallion pancakes, he liked it as long as it was food.
It wasn’t known how Leopold would feel after reading this post, but as someone born in the era of interstellar beasts, he hadn’t eaten much good food even as an emperor.
Of course, this didn’t include what he ate while playing games.
Moreover, the food in the interstellar space was nowhere near as delicious as what the braves made! Roland’s food city was now famous throughout the entire universe.
He was now completely absorbed in the pleasures of food. Even when his son returned his game cabin to him, he didn’t go in to play.
Cough cough, it was mainly because he was ashamed.
He and Brenda had set sail on a magic ship and were fishing at sea.
The return of over a hundred high level elementalists meant that many lost skills were passed down again, such as the creation of magic ships and magic cores.
The magic core wasn’t just used on magic ships. Before the disaster, it was primarily used in the manors of elementalists.
Having a magic core meant they didn’t need to hire many servants. The magic core could help manage their home perfectly and absolute loyalty was guaranteed.
Now, under Xu Sili’s orders, several high level elementalists had started to study how to create a core capable of managing a city.
This would greatly improve the safety and service quality of tourists cities that primarily catered to visitors.
Back to Leopold, the seafood they caught could be taken to Glass Sea City to be cooked by the braves. Each dish only cost 10 Escher coins, which was incredibly cheap.
Players were happy to serve him. After all, he was the former emperor. It was always good to increase the favorability of such a high ranking NPC.
Today, Leopold had just caught a few fish when his youngest son appeared out of nowhere with Si Sheng and brazenly announced that they would get married in a week.
Leopold was shocked.
How come he didn’t realize that Snow and Si Sheng were a couple?
“When did you two get together? How come I didn’t know?”
Upon hearing this, Brenda couldn’t help looking at him with a complicated expression and interjected, “Your Majesty Leopold, I’m afraid the whole empire knows about this.”
What? The entire empire knew?
The former emperor had become obsessed with food after returning home and gave himself a long vacation, so now he looked bewildered and surprised.
“Brenda, you knew they were together? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I thought you knew.”
“……”
Xu Sili smiled when he saw Leopold’s complicated expression. He took Si Sheng’s hand and intertwined their fingers.
“Since you don’t know yet, let me formally introduce him to you.”
“This is my lover, my fiance, the partner I want to spend my life with—Si Sheng.”
A smile appeared on Si Sheng’s face when he heard this.
That’s right. They were finally getting married! He had been looking forward to this day and night, and it had finally arrived.
He looked at the former emperor and bowed respectfully.
“Please officiate our wedding.”
As the previous ruler of the Roland Empire and the father of Snow Roland, no one was more qualified to officiate their wedding than Leopold. He also hoped to receive the blessings of all his family on Escher Star.
Facing Si Sheng, the guardian of the empire, the strongest person in Roland and the world’s only nine star elementalist…
To be honest, even Leopold couldn’t help feeling a bit scared.
This was the result of a star level suppression despite Si Sheng already restraining his aura.
“Yes, Father, we want you to be the officiant at our wedding,” Xu Sili said with a smile.
Once the topic of the wedding came up, the two of them smiled at each other as if they were surrounded by pink bubbles of happiness. This made Leopold feel a bit full on dog food.
One was his own son and the other was a nine star powerhouse. What could Leopold say in the face of their invitation?
“Okay, I’ll go then.”
He nodded and started to think about what type of wedding gift to give them. As for the wedding preparations, he believed that Val could handle it as this wasn’t his forte.
Leopold laughed thinking of this.
Four years ago, he never would’ve imagined that he could have such a leisurely and peaceful time. Not only did his sons and daughter survive the disaster, but his poor sister was also rescued.
She had reunited with Joan and built her own career, as well as finding happiness again.
This type of life was something she had never dared to dream about before.
All of this was brought about by his son and the patron saint before him. If they truly loved each other, he had no reason to oppose the marriage.
“Yes, if you encounter Ivis, please tell him that this is his invitation.”
“No problem.”
Leopold nodded.
Thus, Si Sheng put his arm around Xu Sili’s waist and flew away with him. They still had to go to the forgotten land to give the invitation to Rosam.
After all, the other person was the second most powerful elementalist in the empire, so he should be given due respect. They would need to trouble him to look after Roland when they went on their honeymoon.
Leopold watched them fly away, his heart filled with emotion.
He thought of his empress, that beautiful and gentle woman, who left him forever not long after giving birth to Snow.
If she was alive today and could see this, she would be very gratified, right? But shouldn’t Xenos and Silin also put in some effort?
Joan was only 15 years old, so there was no rush. Meanwhile, Xenos and Silin were both over 30 and there was still no news about them getting married.
As their father, shouldn’t he be more concerned about them? This was a matter of their personal life, but also concerned the next generation of the Roland imperial family.
Leopold stroked his chin.
However, they had a lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years. There seemed to be no rush.
Leopold was lost in thought when a fish took the bait. He flicked his wrist and pulled up a crab.
“Oh my god, look at what I have found! Isn’t that His Majesty Leopold’s ship?”
A very hearty and bold voice rang out along with the appearance of the sea crab.
Leopold and Brenda looked in the direction of the sound.
Suddenly, a series of bubbling sounds came from the calm sea. Then a submarine emerged from the seabed and hovered on the surface of the sea.
Immediately afterwards, a blinding light appeared. After the light dissipated, the submarine transformed into a ship and approached Leopold’s magic ship.
“Uncle Ivis.”
Leopold smiled when he saw the silver-haired youth on the opposite deck who looked even younger than him.
Ivis jumped over from Mike and grinned. “Leopold, Brenda, are the two of you out sea fishing again? What good catch did you get today?”
As the sea interstellar beasts were cleared away, the native creatures that originally belonged to Escher Star gradually revived and the seabed became more vibrant.
If people like Leopold went deep sea fishing, they usually released most of the marine life they caught, keeping only one or two to satisfy their cravings.
Once Leopold saw that the crab he had just caught was a female crab about to lay her eggs, he casually tossed her back into the sea and released her.
“This is just the beginning,” Leopold said. “You just came from the sea elf territory?”
Many cities had been built underwater, but not all of them bordered the land of the sea elves.
The sea elf territory had expanded considerably, but everyone knew that the area surrounding the Tree of Life was the true sea elf territory. Sea elves could only be found there.
As a member of the Roland imperial family, Ivis was still popular with the seal elves. His pet, the giant octopus, was still diligently guarding the sea elf territory.
Speaking of this, Ivis couldn’t help sighing.
The sea elves who remained in the territory were either male or children. The few females had all transformed into humans and were walking on land. He wanted to find an opportunity to get to know them, but he didn’t know where to begin.
His good partner Nage was willing to help him, but he couldn’t find any good opportunities.
Seeing his worried expression, Leopold couldn’t help laughing. They had fought beside each other for several years, so he knew his uncle’s obsession.
However, these things couldn’t be forced.
Once Ivis rolled his eyes, Leopold quickly stopped laughing and said seriously, “Snow just came by and asked us to go back for his wedding to Si Sheng. This is his invitation to you.”
Ivis took the invitation and glanced at it. He didn’t seem particularly surprised by the news of their upcoming marriage.
“Okay, I will be there on time for the ceremony.”
As an elder, he needed to prepare a gift. Speaking of which, would the sea elves attend the emperor’s wedding ceremony?
Ivis immediately decided that he must wear his best suit that day!
