Chapter 894: Fulfillment of the Agreement
Hearing Kiana's self-destructive nonsense, Jeno was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes swept over the princesses in turn.
Not to mention, among these pampered princesses, there are really a few good-looking princesses, and they are taller than Chiana. Except for a few who have already married a wife, the general conditions are good.
Although they looked at him with a little apprehension, it seemed that he could take anyone with him at any time if he wanted to.
However, Jeno thought in a row of heads, he didn't come to marry and choose a concubine!
Jeno immediately put similar thoughts behind him, and then said to Chiana in a serious manner.
"But I've heard that they're not as talented as you, and that's what you said. In the perception of the outside world, studying abroad is often the privilege of the best people. ”
Jeno was very hateful about this bora, and immediately the other nine princesses cast hostile glances at Qiana.
Now she was completely isolated.
Interestingly, Jeno didn't see any of the princes except for the ten princesses, including Kiana. And Ishtar did not belong to a matriarchal society like Freljord, so to speak...... It is likely that the queen gave birth to ten daughters in a row......
This probability is only a few in a thousand, which is lower than the probability of drawing SSR in a mobile game.
As for the possibility of having given birth to a boy and then dying, Jeno felt very suspenseful, because the eldest princess Enesa and the tenth princess Qiyana were only twelve years apart...... This is almost a child a year, and if a few boys are really born during this period, then he has to sigh at the strength of the royal bloodline.
"Please, spare me......"
Jeno's reasoning silenced Kiana and threw him in the foot. Kiana looked at Jeno with an indifferent expression, her body trembled in despair, and her lips were about to bleed.
The atmosphere fell silent, and the meeting stalled. After a moment's wait, Jeno knew that he had to let the real man speak to confirm the result, so he put the option in front of the king.
"Your Majesty, I'm not a devil after all, and the choice is up to you - either let Kiana obediently fulfill the agreement, or I will pack up and take all nine of her sisters with me."
This option seems to be the devil's own, but as long as you have a normal brain, you know how to choose.
It is true that Kiyana's talent is better than that of her sisters, but in the system of superiority and inferiority, it is not so important. Coupled with her stubborn nature, staying in Ishooken and being jealous would only destroy the long-standing harmony.
Personal feelings aside, this is the choice between nine mediocre heirs and one uncontrollable heir.
If you just want to manage your own Pure Land in peace, then you don't need to be a good ruler, Qiyana's nine sisters can do it. But once all nine heirs were taken away, Kiana would naturally succeed the king as ruler, which was not a good thing for Ishtar, who was trying to settle down.
It's easy to make a choice, but when you do do it, it's extremely difficult.
No matter how despicable Qiyana is, she is the daughter of the king. Even if he knew what to do, when it came time to make this decision, he would inevitably feel like a knife.
"Well, Your Majesty only needs to make a decision now, and the date of fulfilling the agreement can be postponed to a month later."
Also as a father with a daughter, Jeno can understand the king's difficulty. But as a leader, he had to think about Piltover's future.
All he could do was give the father and daughter a little time to get along.
"That's it, Kiana, and report to Piltover in the near future."
When the king announced this decree, the corners of his eyes were red, and he hid his face and sighed, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Not only was he lamenting that his daughter was gone, but he was also worried that Ishtar's stability would be shattered.
Kiana didn't resist again this time, just gritted her teeth and nodded.
She knew that her father was really helpless to make such a decision, and Jeno had already handled this matter very gently, except for deliberately targeting her. If his father disobeyed him again, he would only provoke the other party and lead to evil consequences.
But inferiority is not so easy to change. Although she can figure out why, Kiana still can't help but resent her father in her heart - there is no other choice, it's not that she doesn't love her deep enough. If you love her enough, why can't you declare war on another city-state for her?
"Don't be so sad, Piltover lives in a much more comfortable environment than Ishooken, close to the sea, warm in winter and cool in summer, not as hot as the rainforest. If it's still hot, we also have machines that regulate the temperature throughout the day, so you can drink cold drinks whenever you want. Because Phi Cheng is the world's largest trading port, and gold is everywhere, you can buy almost everything you want here......"
Jano suddenly shut up in the middle of his words, because he found that when he said the cold drink from the air conditioner, the eyes of the princesses all changed, and they became like wolves, which made Jeno have a sense of déjà vu surrounded by wolves.
It's right to think about it, if you want to be cool in Esioken, you have to rely on the servants to release cloud magic all the time, and the labor cost is too high, and the cooling effect is not good.
Moreover, no matter how pampered the princesses of Esiocan were, to the developed Piltover, they were still a group of village girls in the ravines. What Jeno had just mentioned was undoubtedly a novelty for them......
It may not be good to belittle Ishtar in this way, but it has been closed off for more than 3,000 years, and it has long been out of touch with the outside world.
In fact, he should have left to leave some private space for the father and daughter.
But he still had something to say to Kiana, and he was worried that Kiana would take the initiative to make trouble with hatred when she arrived in Piltover.
After the meeting ended, Jeno found the devastated Kiana. When the latter saw him approaching, he immediately assumed a defensive posture.
This time, Jeno didn't mean to play with her anymore, and said to her straight to the point: "Kiana, when you get to Piltover, you will understand how ignorant and arrogant you are, and how boring the vanity you are chasing. ”
"Isn't your preaching enough? My ears can afford to hear calluses! Kiana gritted her teeth in anger.
Jeno didn't care and went on.
"I know, you want to be respected. In fact, you can think about it from another angle, and this exchange abroad is an opportunity that belongs to you alone. You are the first person to go abroad in the thousands of years that Ishtar has been closed, as long as you grasp it well, bring back something different from abroad to make your country change for the better, then the people who benefit from it will respect you and serve you as the first diplomat of the ages, isn't this much better than being a do-nothing emperor? What Ishtar lacked most was this kind of passable ruler. ”
