Armipotent

Chapter 655 – The Loyalty Oath – Part 1

The following day, Tang Shaoyang looked at the girl from The Arkania Continent, putting up a tie on him. It was the tie that office workers usually use, matching with his black suit outside and redshirt inside? He did not know if it matched since it was all dark, but the girls said darker attire fit him.

"Where did you get this from?" Tang Shaoyang looked at the smooth hand that tied the red tie, and he did not even know how to do it. Yes, he did not even know to put a tie, yet this girl tied it smoothly as if she had done this a lot.

"Sister Zhang Mengyao and Sister Kang Xue told me to bring this with me because we will often meet with the nobles and do some high-class stuff." That was what they thought since they snuck into Lukan and mixed with Ashley and Prince of a kingdom. However, that never happened since they encountered the Revolution Army from the start.

"I don't like how that prince looked down at you last night. Even though he did not show it, I could tell that the Elven Crown Prince did not sincerely respect you." Ashley said from the side as she was trying the new dress. He was trying on the light green dress, showing her smooth white back as she tied her long deep blue hair updo, similar to bun-style, but it was quite messy, not the circular bun. Not the bad messy one; it was a good messy bun style.

After trying the evening dress last night, the girl liked to try out the other dresses Selena brought with her. The light green dress was the third dress she tried from many dresses. Selena finished with the tie as she gave a final touch with a light tap on his chest.

"What with this? I think my usual clothes will be fine." Tang Shaoyang did not like this stiff outfit. "Nope, you have to wear this because this is an important event. You can't wear that long sleeve shirt for the oath ceremony. You have to show your dignified image, or else they will look down on you." Selena voiced her concern. While Tang Shaoyang did not mind what others thought of him, it did matter for her.

His hand was about to shake the tie that tightened around his neck, but Selena's hand was faster. She held his wrist and shook her head. "Nope, don't touch it! You are going to mess it up." Selena herself was wearing the red dress. It seemed red was her favorite color.

"What about those two girls?" He addressed his new wives with those two girls. Even though they were his wives, the two were like strangers to him.

"They are trying on the dress, and they are a bit shy to wear it in front of you." Selena smiled when she talked about those two girls. "You should not treat them coldly, and they are not typically a bitch scheming behind you. They are genuine by marrying you, not forced as you thought to be."

"I am not sure about that." The one who replied was Ashley, not Tang Shaoyang. "Especially the Moonlight Rabbit who acted cutely. She is suspicious of me."

"They might look suspicious, but my gut feelings tell me that they don't have an evil intention toward us. In fact, I feel like they are trying to gain our trust to smooth out our relationship with The Elven Kingdom and The Moonlight Tribe." Selena had a good impression of Aleesa and Sylvia overnight.

"I am not treating them coldly, just so you know where I come from, right? On earth, there are only humans, plants, and animals. We don't have Elf, the beastmen, demons, or other humanoid races. I don't mind them if we just see each other, but having intimate contact with them is a different thing." Tang Shaoyang shared his thoughts.

"I see." Selena nodded her head. The beastmen or other humanoid races was a common thing in the Arkania Continent. That made sense, and she understood why her man was a little bit indifferent toward the two stunning beauties. "But you can't just ignore them. Talking with them is a good way to adapt to their appearance."

Tang Shaoyang nodded his head and walked toward the window. He occupied a three-story house, and he was on the third floor. He looked outside through the window and noticed that the crowd had gathered. Kalliyan and Alton were waiting in front of the house, waiting for him.

"I think it will be more fitted if I wear a set of full armor instead of the suit." Tang Shaoyang commented as he saw Alton's glistening armor. The old knight looked valiant in his full set of armor. "It does not have to be the best armor, but just armor for a show." Tang Shaoyang did not have a set of armor, and he always fought with his long sleeve shirt.

Not because he did not have the armor, but he felt like he did not need it. On top of that, the armor would be just a hindrance for him. He also had [Flame Shield] and [Mana Shroud] that could replace the armor. He also had [Dragon Scale], not just those two skills, and if the enemy were strong, he would transform with [Grand Dragon Transformation]. If that was not enough, he had [Slayer Energy]. He could form a barrier like [Mana Shroud] with [Energy Slayer], giving him even stronger defense.

At this moment, the door opened. Aleesa and Sylvia entered the room with their new dress. It was a similar dress to the one Ashley and Selena had but in a different color. Aleesa wore a dark-violet dress that contrasted with her silver hair and jade-green eyes. Sylvia had a silver dress on her, and he noticed a big difference from her. He did not see the fur around her wrist and ankle. It was just a smooth, milky white wrist, but she still had bunny ears.

"Good morning, Lord Shaoyang~" Both greeted him with a sweet smile on their faces.

Tang Shaoyang was in a daze for a moment before he shook his head. "That looks good on you two." He followed Selena's advice not to ignore the two girls. "Are you ready? Everything is waiting for us?"

The four girls smiled and nodded their heads. Tang Shaoyang led the four girls outside, meeting with Kalliyan, Alton, and other high-ranking officers. They greeted him and the girls by kneeling on the ground. "We greet the Great Lord!"

The simultaneous voices echoed in the air, and the greeting gave chills to the people who remained standing. Yes, amidst the crowd, a group was still standing: the Elven King and The Elven Elders, Chief Moon and The Moonlight Tribe's Elders.

The Elven King Revalor and Chief Moon took a deep breath before they followed the others to kneel and greeted Tang Shaoyang. "We greet The Great Lord!"

"Rise!" Tang Shaoyang responded with a word as he headed toward the group. Tang Shaoyang quickly distinguished between the two tribes by their ears. However, he noticed something different among The Elven. They wore all black as if they were currently mourning.. As the group stood up, Tang Shaoyang arrived in front of the group, meeting with The Elven King and Chief Moon for the first time.
