Chapter 517

Year 420 of the Jia Long Era, late November, Dragon God Orsted arrived once again, and upon hearing that Princess Ariel also wished to join the Crystal Palace, he did not directly express his own opinion, but instead asked Broly: "Do you think she is an Apostle of the Human God?"

"I feel she probably isn't, at least Princess Ariel has never heard of the Human God, whether in reality or in dreams."

"Then accept her, if it is beneficial to you."

"Aren't you worried?"

"What should I be worried about?"

Orsted looked at Broly with some puzzlement.

"Although I feel she should have nothing to do with the Human God, given your personality, I thought you would advise me to refuse her, after all, the Human God recommended her to me multiple times in a very old loop, perhaps there is some trap buried."

"Petty tricks have no meaning before absolute power, even if that Princess of the Asura Kingdom truly is the Human God's doing, I still believe you can make the correct judgment, otherwise you would not have come to ask for my opinion."

Orsted showed full trust in Broly, and Broly also felt at ease because of this trust of his.

"Since that is the case, I will let Princess Ariel join my Crystal Palace, it is just that the things you need to do may have to increase by one more."

Loop 54, Year 405 of the Jia Long Era, July, Princess Ariel had just been born for one month, when her mother the Queen of Asura was about to encounter assassins and be killed, a ray of bright light suddenly fell from the sky, with the speed of a thunderbolt leaving no time to cover one's ears, instantly killing all the attacking assassins on the spot.

"I am the Radiant Almanfi, by order of Lord Perugius, to protect the safety of the current Second Princess of the Asura Kingdom, Ariel Anemoi Asura, and her mother the Queen of Asura, anyone who dares to offend shall become a dead soul under my sword!"

Entrusted by Orsted, the Jia Long King of Loop 54 directly dispatched his capable subordinate, the Radiant Spirit Almanfi, to protect Princess Ariel and her mother.

And this act directly caused a huge sensation in the political situation of the Asura Kingdom, because the Jia Long King had not had the intention to interfere in Asura Kingdom politics for so many years, but now he had his Apostle protect the young princess who had not been born for long, causing many Asura Kingdom nobles to let their imaginations run wild.

The future heir favored by the Jia Long King, the Princess guarded at all times by the Radiant Blade, by Year 407, the already somewhat sensible Princess Ariel had been crowned with such titles.

And the Queen of Asura who had not been assassinated in the political struggle thought the same, and by this gathered a group of noble factions guarding her daughter around herself, teaching her daughter from a young age the words 【You are a born king】.

The young little princess was like a blank sheet of white paper, hearing such words many times, she also gained such cognition, that she was chosen by the Jia Long King, the future heavyweight champion of the Asura Kingdom, and that others listening to her words was a matter of course.

Just when the willful and capricious princess personality was about to be cultivated, Year 407 of the Jia Long Era, September arrived, the little princess who was imitating her mother scolding maids in the palace, had her game of imitating authority interrupted by a Saiyan boy who suddenly intruded into the room.

"Who are you, and who allowed you to enter, after seeing this Princess, why do you not kneel?"

Little Princess Ariel questioned loudly, while the maids seen by her all waved their hands repeatedly, indicating one after another that it was not they who let the unrecognized boy enter the sleeping palace.

"What a huge contrast."

Broly looked at this loop's Little Princess Ariel with some surprise, completely different from the Weiwei in his impression, the pitiable little girl, or the very polite, gentle-tempered young princess image.

The current Princess Ariel looked more like the young Elise, although not yet to the degree of arrogant and domineering, but could be considered somewhat willful.

"This Princess is speaking to you, can this guy not hear?"

Little Princess Ariel saw Broly did not answer her words, and walked forward with some anger.

"I heard."

"Then why did you not answer my words?"

In the eyes of this loop's young Little Princess Ariel, she was this country's future king, and everyone had the obligation to answer the future Queen's questions.

"I was just surprised by your current posture, however, I can answer your question just now right now."

The boy behaved without panic, his age was not great either, the surrounding maids did not think he was a guy who invaded the palace.

They only thought he was some noble family's child, who after being brought into the palace, accidentally slipped over to this side, so no one went to call the guards outside.

"Then answer now, right, you must kneel on one knee to me, this is the etiquette a subject should perform when audience with the King."

"But you are not the King, merely a Princess."

"I will become Queen in the future, this is what my mother told me."

This loop's Little Princess Ariel very much believed her mother's words.

"But I am not your subject."

"I, I can enfeoff you as my subject."

Broly saw through it, the other party just wanted to play a game.

"Alright, then what do you want to enfeoff me as?"

"Enfeoff what?"

Hearing this, Little Princess Ariel was somewhat stumped, a cute little face furrowing its brows.

"How about Prince Consort?"

Broly asked, the princess had not yet spoken, but the maids at the side changed their expressions, they were the people caring for the little princess, if the little princess was deceived by someone into enfeoffing a strange boy as Prince Consort, even if just a joke, they might also suffer extremely heavy punishment.

"Rude fellow, which family's child are you, do you know how much trouble saying such words will bring to your family?"

One of the Queen's confidant maids directly scolded Broly, and then explained to the little princess at her side about Prince Consort, meaning the Queen's future husband.

Little Princess Ariel was somewhat dazed, but she seemed able to read the atmosphere, immediately learning from the maid at her side to angrily scold the boy: "Rude fellow."

"Alright, since it cannot be Prince Consort, then what does Princess think of Guardian Knight?"

Broly asked again.

Little Princess Ariel subconsciously looked toward the maid at her side.

The maid did not speak, she could not figure out the boy's origins, so she cautiously maintained silence, not speaking recklessly.

"If it is Guardian Knight, this is acceptable."

Seeing the maid did not object, Little Princess Ariel spoke loudly.

"Your Guardian Knight reports to you, my name is Broly, yet it is you yourself who allowed me to enter your sleeping palace."

Broly knelt on one knee toward Little Princess Ariel, and answered.

"Nonsense, when did I allow you to enter?"

"It is the future you who allowed it."

"The future me would also never let you enter my sleeping palace."

"You don't believe?"

"Of course I don't believe, I am not a child anymore."

Princess Ariel spoke in a childish, coquettish voice, which was both adorable and cute.

"It's fine, I can make you believe my words."

"That's impossible."

"Then let's make a bet."

"Eh, bet on what?"

"Bet that I can make you believe my words."

"How to bet?"

"In a moment I'll ask you a question; as long as you directly answer 'I am willing,' you will believe what I said before. How about it?"

Princess Ariel didn't believe it at all, but her curiosity was piqued, and she wanted to give it a try.

"Are you willing to become my wife?"

Broly asked decisively, and before the maid beside him who had changed expression could stop him, Princess Ariel directly answered "I am willing."

"Taking verbal advantage of Her Highness the Princess, how dare you, child? No, I must take you to see the Queen..."

Just as the confidant maid prepared to reach out and grab Broly, a childish but steady voice came from behind.

"Stop."

"Princess Ariel?"

"My guardian knight did not take advantage of me; I am indeed his wife."

Maid: "???"

"What, are my words not clear enough? Or do I have to go cry to Mother before I can command you?"

If the previous little princess was mostly just playing around, the current little princess now truly carried an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger; though young, it could not be concealed.

"Mr. Broly, I do not know how to repay the grace of you saving my mother."

Princess Ariel lifted her skirt hem, bowed to Broly, and said with eyes shimmering.

"You just need to live happily every day, let me break even, let me profit Happiness Points early; that counts as repaying me."

Princess Ariel had recovered her loop memories, and Broly no longer needed to keep coaxing the other party as a real child; he immediately stood up and replied.

"Mm, I will."

Princess Ariel nodded; seeing the Saiyan boy preparing to leave, she hurriedly asked.

"Are you not staying?"

"I still have a wife to capture."

"Truly enviable, Miss Roxy and the others, to have you by their side carefully guarding them."

Broly thought for a bit, feeling this Princess was probably worried about safety issues.

So he replied: "Rest assured, the Shining Spirit Almanfi, though somewhat weak, has no one in this Royal Palace who can beat him; and on Ars's side, I'll also greet the Water God and have her look after you a bit; additionally..."

Broly fished out the communication tool made by Orsted from his pocket — a ring embedded with a Red Magic Crystal — and directly slapped it onto Princess Ariel's hand: "You should know how to use Magic Power; if other problems arise, you can inject Magic Power into this Magic Tool Ring, and when the time comes I'll receive the communication and come over to this side."

Having done this, Broly waved at her, then directly flew away.

Princess Ariel looked at the ring in her hand, revealing a helpless expression, realizing this was probably the treatment of an outsider.

As Sylphy said, things like careful care, accompanying play, and growing up together — completely irrelevant.

However, preserving loop memories is true; that alone is enough.

Although she has a mother who didn't die, she doesn't seem to have much political wisdom.

But the current situation, for Princess Ariel who now has loop memories, is already a dream-like opening.

Properly plan and scheme for the future; using the name of the Armored Dragon King, inheriting the throne is simply a piece of cake, however...

"Mr. Broly, can you take me away from the Asura Royal Palace? I actually want to experience a free life, rather than just living a so-called princess life in the palace..."

"Sister Roxy, can I learn magic from you? I actually also have a dream of becoming a Mage."

"Ghislaine, can you teach me swordsmanship? No, I'm not interested in swordsmanship; I just want to grow up together with Eris."

The so-called future Queen identity — how can it compare to the family status in Broly's household, which retains memories in the time regression?

Rather than thinking about fighting for power and profit with others in this loop, better to build good relations with Broly's family and establish deeper bonds.

"So cute, childhood Sylphy — can I help change her diaper?"

Shining Princess Ariel, after recovering loop memories, quickly used her own ability to grasp her mother, as well as those noble groups attracted by the Queen of Asura borrowing the Armored Dragon King's name to dispatch spirit guardians, thereby obtaining freedom of action rights that ordinary underage Princes and Princesses do not possess.

After obtaining this right, the thing she did most was use the ring to summon Broly, requesting Broly take her out to play; seemingly playing, actually building good relations with Roxy and the others who had not yet recovered loop memories.

Princess Ariel's EQ is very high; whether Roxy or Eris, before recovering memories, could always be coaxed into great happiness by her.

Only Ghislaine, who also recovered loop memories, could clearly detect that this Princess was intentionally currying favor with the others in the Crystal Palace.

However, this isn't a bad thing, so the Big Dog Girl didn't say anything.

And the scheming, calculating Princess Ariel — while doing all these actions, her Happiness Points didn't stagnate; on the contrary, her Happiness Points shot up rapidly.

Reason: she truly felt happiness; this completely different free life after a second chance was something she had never experienced before.

Joining the Crystal Palace was the best decision she made; and being able to have this opportunity is inseparable from Sylphy, who would come save her in Armored Dragon Year 417; Princess Ariel is incomparably grateful to the green-haired girl who is still an infant now.

"Sylphy, rest assured; before you recover memories, I'll properly love Broly in your stead."

In speech and action, Princess Ariel is a bit teasing and coquettish, but she indeed delivers on her words; in this loop, she offers up her happiness.

And this Princess's way of expressing love indeed matches the rumors of the Asura Kingdom, fully living up to the name of pervert.

Even more absurd: Princess Ariel is not only like this to Broly, but also like this to the others in the Crystal Palace.

In public she can be a dignified, noble Princess; in private she's willing to be a subordinate, actively pleasing others.

A noble Princess can serve like a lowly maid — how to put this feeling? One can only say this Princess is truly too good at giving others emotional value.

Even if the others in the Crystal Palace have no intention of mistreating her, they still get a huge thrill of the lower overcoming the higher from her.

Regarding this, Broly felt something was off; during one deepening-bond interaction, he probed a little, yet discovered Princess Ariel's Happiness Point increase not only didn't decrease but grew instead.

Broly realized—this was no Shinclair Balon; this was clearly Darkness Lalatina, the other party might as well have written an "m" on their face.

In the Fifty Fourth Loop, Princess Ai Li Er Gong Zhu gave Broly a feeling of the world turned upside down: it was not he capturing her, but she capturing him, and even bringing along the others of the Crystal Palace to capture him together.

But this was no fault of Princess Ai Li Er Gong Zhu for acting this way; Broly here possessed the safety she needed most, and held a great attraction for her.
