Increase Talent: Become More Stronger!-Chapter 213: Engagement

But what could she do? She knew she could not ask her father directly.

If she recalled correctly, her father's expression made it clear that he was very reluctant to be questioned about me.

"Is that true? I think that's great! With this, I can be sure that Mr. Noah will be safe in the academy. Isn't that right?"

"Hehe. As expected from my daughter. You're right. He is someone we must protect. I don't want him to fall into the hands of our enemies."

"I'm right! I'm glad Mr. Noah has Father's protection. Isn't that so, Sister?"

Truly, it must be admitted that Princess Celine was forced to rise from where she was sitting.

At first, Princess Celine did not know how to respond to Aisha's question.

But considering that I was Noah, did she think this was a good thing?

"You're right... I'm happy too..." Even so, Princess Celine's answer showed that she was not in high spirits.

For some reason, even the Emperor himself did not understand why his other daughter was not excited.

In fact, the Emperor knew that his second daughter was one of the most cheerful princesses in their family.

But now, he did not understand why his second daughter showed no reaction at all.

Still, he guessed that she was feeling down after hearing that I had been adopted as their sibling.

'A kiss... Forget about that. Let the past remain in the past. Now, he is my son. Protecting him is my priority.' Without lingering on the thought, the Emperor promptly ordered his children to leave the room.

At first, Aisha refused to be taken away from where I was.

But she had no choice after seeing the way her father looked at her.

"I understand..."

Creek-

"Ahem. I apologize for the uncomfortable situation. I would like us to continue our discussion."

"Your Majesty... I think I should leave? Regarding the engagement, I would like us to forget about this matter."

"Very well~. But I intend to marry one of my daughters to the hero. Are you interested?"

Before I realized it, I could not help but instinctively release my killing intent.

Look at that, the Emperor did not seem to care about whether or not I showed my intent to kill.

Instead, the Emperor continued to smile as if unconcerned.

"Who?"

"What do you mean?"

"Who are you talking about? Which daughter?"

For a moment, I was forced to touch the top of my head.

I had to admit, I did not expect the Emperor's answer to be Aisha.

"She is my third daughter, Aisha. Do you mind?"

"No... Excuse me."

Creek!

Perhaps it was true that the Emperor knew I could not fully suppress the anger within me.

But he also knew that I had no intention of directing my anger at him.

Instead, the Emperor wanted to see how I would react.

Perhaps because of this, the Emperor knew that I did not accept the engagement between Aisha and the hero.

Yet, the Emperor also knew that I had no power to do anything about it.

In the end, the fact that I could not challenge Aisha's engagement to the hero was undeniable.

'Better this way. I have done as you commanded. I think you should leave now.'

"Well... You have worked hard. I'm glad he didn't oppose your will. Isn't that right?"

"Haha. The engagement between the hero and the Saintess is something that cannot be avoided. Since ancient times, they have always been a pair meant to complement each other."

...

"I'm so frustrated... What was the Emperor trying to say? I think he was trying to provoke me," I muttered, unable to hide my anger.

I had to admit, I could not accept the engagement between Aisha and Ash.

But what could I do? I knew it was impossible to cancel their engagement.

Suddenly, a memory resurfaced of when I asked Aisha whether she had been proposed to or not.

Perhaps because of this, I now understood why Aisha never told me—it was because she did not want me to know.

And now, I knew that Aisha's fiancé was the hero himself.

'System, show me my Body Enhancement progress.'

[87.53/200% progress in Body Enhancement.]

[Current Talent Points: 9,504,700.]

'87%... I think my battle against Senior Fieldrin was the most beneficial to me. I'm glad I fought with my full strength.'

Truly, I had no regrets about fighting Senior Fieldrin with everything I had.

On the contrary, I believed that fighting Senior Fieldrin had given me a significant advantage.

Just look at my Body Enhancement progress—it had increased several times compared to my previous efforts.

With this alone, I knew that battling strong opponents was something I had to continue doing.

That way, it would not be impossible for me to reach 200% Body Enhancement sooner or later.

I assumed that when I reached 200% Body Enhancement, I might obtain an extraordinary technique.

However, I did not intend to think too far ahead about the system's rewards.

Regardless, the fact that I had been granted one of the abilities of Berserker Mode was undeniable.

With this alone, I knew I did not need to rush through the system's progression.

"Alright! Just a little more! I will definitely reach the Mage Stage!" I shouted, unable to contain my excitement as I neared the Mage Stage.

For now, I just wanted to see how long it would take me to reach it.

Speaking of which, I was grateful that the princess and Aisha were not trying to approach me.

At first, I thought they wanted to ask why I had been adopted as the Emperor's child.

But they changed their minds, knowing that the prince did not want his sisters getting close to me.

'Even if he is an enemy, I should remain humble. After all, sooner or later, I will be recognized as the Emperor's son.'

Without further ado, I chose to return to my class.

I had to admit, I knew there was no way I could pass the test on the first day.
