Chapter 648 – Taking Over Gigante Forest – Part 15

Tang Shaoyang now faced the two new wives in front of him. He might be a womanizer, but it was still awkward that he married the girls he had just met. Not even ten minutes since they met, and they were officially wife and husband.

"This might be awkward for you, but this is the only way for our people to trust The Tang Empire." Aleesa noticed the awkwardness in Tang Shaoyang, so she tried to explain the things. "On top of that, I am not forced to marry you, but I volunteered to marry you. This is my will."

'I don't think that's your will. You guys are forced to marry me because The Empire threatens your tribe.' That was what was in Tang Shaoyang's mind when he heard Aleesa's words. However, he indeed did not sense malice from the two girls. The two girls were unexpectedly calm.

"The same with me. I volunteered to marry you, and I am no longer Sylvia of The Moonlight Tribe but Sylvia of The Tang Empire. Please don't hesitate to ask me if you need help regarding Gigante Forest." Sylvia also spoke up, breaking the awkward silence in the meeting hall. The Moonlight Maiden had keen senses and deduction.

After the fall of The Elven and The Moonlight Tribe, The Tang Empire had to take the next step to conquer the whole forest. Even though The Empire had taken down the four great tribes, Gigante Forest was never under the rule of the four great tribes. The Tang Empire still needed the next step to conquer Gigante Forest, and this was where she would prove her worth.

"In other words, can I trust this issue on you two?" Tang Shaoyang got the meaning behind Sylvia's words. Of course, the next part was easy since The Empire had taken down the great four tribes. The remaining tribes in the forest would join them soon if the news spread out.

"Yes, you can leave this issue to us. Two days, you can give us two days after we form the new legion, then Gigante Forest is yours, My Lord." Aleesa nodded her head. She could tell what the Moonlight Maiden planned, so she could not lose to her about the issue. She had to be actively helping the Empire.

"There's no need for formality between us. Since you two are my wives now, you can call me by name instead." Tang Shaoyang eased up a little bit around the two. "For tonight, you can have a rest after the long journey. We will continue the talk tomorrow."

Sylvia and Aleesa looked at each other. The Emperor dismissed them just like that. 'Ah, he can't wait to bed us, but two at once….' Aleesa did not like the idea, but she was not in the position to refuse this.

"Lead them to our house. I will stay here tonight." Tang Shaoyang said. He was talking to Selena and Ashley. He did not plan to bed the new bride, not tonight, at least. There were so many things in his head right now. "Also, can you call Alton and Allan for me?"

Aleesa and Sylvia exchanged glances once more. They did not hear it wrong. He was asking instead of ordering. On top of that, he did not plan to sleep with them as well from his words. At least, that was how it was from the way he spoke; he would stay in the meeting hall. The Elven and The Moonlight Tribe were the number one species humans looked for to be sex slaves, so it was weird when they were being ignored like this.

'Isn't he supposed to be a Tyrant?' The two girls were not expecting this side of The Emperor. "Got it." Ashley nodded her head and spoke to the two girls. "Follow me. I will show you our new room, sisters."

After the four girls left, Tang Shaoyang and Kalliyan were the ones in the meeting hall. "You can go back too, Kalliyan. Spend your time with your newborns as much as possible because we will be busy in the following weeks."

"Thank you for your understanding, My Lord." Kalliyan bowed before leaving the meeting hall. Tang Shaoyang was alone in the meeting hall right now.

"What do you think?" Tang Shaoyang asked. He was asking the spirits regarding the marriage. "Do you think they scheme something behind me, or they just want to secure their tribe's safety?" Yes, he still doubted The Elven and The Moonlight Tribe. As two ancient tribes in the forest, the two so easily surrendered. He thought they would fight back instead of surrendering.

—You can sense it, and I don't think your ability will lie to you, right?

The first one to respond was Lilliana The Grand Guardian. She was the only one who got excited about the marriage. Tang Shaoyang could tell that by her excited voice. "What makes you excited like that?"

—More wives, meaning more children. You have to do it often, so the girls conceive your children. You are an Emperor, after all, and you need a successor.

Lilliana's answer left Tang Shaoyang speechless. This one particular spirit seemed to have an obsession with taking care of children. "I am still too young to think about the successors…." He paused midway. "Talking about children gives me a headache. What if my children tried to kill me to take the throne? What if they kill each other for the throne?"

That was a common issue with the past kingdom, where the princes fought for the throne. He did not want that to happen to him or his family.

—That's something easy to fix. You just need to choose one prince to inherit the throne. You can prevent internal strife. Of course, if the children are under my care, they will not grow up like that, and I will educate them properly so they will not fight. Good education and a good living environment will prevent them from fighting for the throne.

Liliana replied confidently.

"Let's not talk about it." Tang Shaoyang gave up talking about that with Liliana. "There's a more critical issue here. The Rank, why The Elven Prince is Myth Rank while he is still level 2200-ish, but I am still in Epic Rank."

—If I have to guess, it must be related to your bloodline, class, and talent. You have a high-grade Class, high-grade Bloodline, and high-grade Talent, My Lord. Maybe that's why your requirement to reach the next rank is also higher.

Zaneos was the first one to respond. The Infernal Sword was more interested in this issue than his affair about The Elven and The Moonlight Tribe.

—That makes sense. Don't you remember what Roan told you about the Trial? The trial becomes harder if your class is a high-grade class. The same is for the advancement rank; the requirement is higher since your class is high-grade.

Rosalie voiced her thoughts as well. That was the logical explanation for all of this.

—That can be the factor, but we will find out once we ask Alton and Allan. Isn't that why you call them?

Zara responded with that as the steps were getting closer to the meeting hall. Tang Shaoyang looked up.. Alton and Allan entered the meeting room.
