Chapter 517 You Are the Ones Being Conquered by Princess Ariel
Chapter 517 You Are the Ones Being Seduced—by Princess Ariel
At the end of November in the year 420 of the Ankylosaurus calendar, the dragon god Orstide returned. Upon hearing that Princess Ariel also wanted to join the Crystal Palace, he did not directly express his opinion, but instead asked Broly, "Do you think she is an apostle of the gods?"
"I don't think so. At least Princess Ariel has never heard of gods or humans, whether in reality or in her dreams."
"Then take her in, if it's to your advantage."
Aren't you worried?
"What should I be worried about?"
Alster looked at Broly with some confusion.
"Although I think she should have nothing to do with the god, given your personality, I thought you would advise me to reject her. After all, the god recommended her to me many times in a previous playthrough, so there might be some hidden agenda."
"Pointless tricks are meaningless in the face of absolute power. Even if the princess of the Asura Kingdom is truly the work of a god, I believe you can make the right judgment. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to ask for my opinion."
Alster showed Broly complete trust, and Broly felt comfortable because of this trust.
"In that case, I will let Princess Ariel join my Crystal Palace, but you may have one more thing to do."
. . . . .
In the 54th playthrough, in July of the 405th year of the Ankylion calendar, Princess Ariel was only one month old. Just as her mother, Queen Asura, was about to be assassinated, a bright light suddenly descended from the sky, instantly killing all the assassins with lightning speed.
"I am the glorious Almanfi, ordered by Lord Percius to protect the safety of the current second princess of the Kingdom of Asra, Ariel Anemoi, and her mother, Queen Asra. Anyone who dares to offend them will become a victim of my sword!"
Entrusted by Alsterd, the Ankylosaurus King in the 54th playthrough directly dispatched his capable henchman, the Radiant Elf Almanfi, to protect Princess Ariel and her mother.
This action directly caused a huge uproar in the political situation of the Kingdom of Asura, because the Ankylosaurus King had not interfered in the politics of the Kingdom of Asura for many years, but now he had his apostle protect the infant princess who had just been born, which made many nobles of the Kingdom of Asura speculate.
Princess Ariel, who was already quite sensible at the time, was given this title in 407, and was favored by Lord Ankylosaurus as his future heir and was always protected by the Blade of Light.
Queen Asura, who was not assassinated in the political struggle, also thought so, and gathered a group of nobles around her to protect her daughter, teaching her from a young age that "you are born to be a queen".
The young princess was like a blank sheet of paper. After hearing this kind of talk many times, she came to believe that she had been chosen by Lord Ankylosaurus to be the future weightlifting champion of the Kingdom of Asura, and that it was only natural for others to listen to her.
Just as the princess's willful and capricious personality was about to take hold, September of the 407th year of the Kakuryo calendar arrived. The little princess, who was imitating her mother scolding her maids in the palace, was interrupted by a Saiyan boy who suddenly barged into the room, thus ending her game of imitating power.
"Who are you, and who allowed you to enter? Why don't you kneel before me, Your Highness?"
Princess Ariel questioned loudly, while the maids she saw waved their hands repeatedly, saying that they had not let any unfamiliar boys into the palace.
"What a stark contrast!"
Broly looked at Princess Ariel in this loop with some surprise. She was completely different from the timid, lovable little girl he remembered, or the polite and gentle princess.
The current Princess Ariel looks more like Alice when she was a child. Although she is not yet arrogant and domineering, she is still somewhat willful.
"I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"
Princess Ariel, somewhat annoyed that Broly hadn't answered her, stepped forward.
"I heard you."
"Then why don't you answer my question?"
In this timeline, young Princess Ariel sees herself as the future queen of the country, and everyone has an obligation to answer the future queen's questions.
"I'm just surprised by your current attitude, but I can answer your question now."
The boy didn't seem flustered, and he was quite young, so none of the maids around him thought he was an intruder in the palace.
They assumed it was a child from a noble family who had accidentally wandered over here after being brought into the palace, so no one bothered to call the guards outside.
"Then answer now. That's right, you should kneel down on one knee before me. This is the proper etiquette for a subject when meeting the king."
"But you are not a king, you are just a princess."
"I will become queen someday, that's what my mother told me."
In this playthrough, Princess Ariel completely trusts her mother's words.
"But I am not your subject."
"I... I can appoint you as my subject."
Broly realized that the other person just wanted to play a game.
"Okay, so what are you going to ban me for?"
"What are you sealing off?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Ariel looked troubled, her adorable little face furrowing in worry.
"How is the prince?"
Broly asked, but before the princess could speak, the maids beside her changed their expressions. They were the ones who took care of the little princess, and if the little princess were tricked into bestowing a prince title upon a strange boy, even if it was just a joke, they might suffer severe punishment.
"You rude wretch! Which family do you belong to? Do you know how much trouble such words will bring to your family?"
One of the princess's trusted maids immediately reprimanded Broly, and then explained to the little princess beside her that the prince was the future queen's husband.
Princess Ariel was a little confused, but she seemed to understand the atmosphere and immediately imitated the maid beside her, scolding the boy: "You rude boy!"
"Alright, since a prince can't be chosen, how about a guardian knight, Your Highness?"
Broly asked again.
Princess Ariel instinctively looked at the maid beside her.
The maid remained silent. She was unsure of the boy's origins, so she cautiously kept quiet and didn't speak rashly.
"If it's a guardian knight, then this one is acceptable."
Seeing that the maid did not object, Princess Ariel spoke loudly.
"Your guardian knight reports to you that my name is Broly, and it was you who granted me permission to enter your bedchamber."
Broly knelt down on one knee before Princess Ariel and began to answer.
"Nonsense, when did I give you permission to come in?"
"It was permitted by your future self."
"I will never let you into my bedchamber in the future."
"You don't believe me?"
"Of course I don't believe it, I'm not a child."
Princess Ariel spoke these words in her sweet, childlike voice, which was both adorable and endearing.
"It's okay, I can make you believe me."
"That's impossible."
"Let's make a bet."
"Hey, what are we betting on?"
"I'll bet I can make you believe me."
"How do we gamble?"
"I'm going to ask you a question in a bit. If you just answer 'I do,' you'll believe everything I said before. How about it?"
Princess Ariel didn't believe it at all, but her curiosity was piqued, and she wanted to try it.
"Will you become my wife?"
Broly asked the question without hesitation, and before the maid beside him could stop him with a changed expression, Princess Ariel answered directly, "I do."
"How dare you, a mere child, try to take advantage of Her Highness the Princess with your words? No, I must take you to see Her Highness the Queen..."
Just as the trusted maid was about to reach out and grab Broly, a young but steady voice came from behind her.
"stop."
"Your Highness Ariel?"
"My guardian knight didn't take advantage of me; I really am his wife."
maid:"???"
"What, am I not clear enough? Or do I need to go and cry to my mother before I can command you?"
If the little princess before was mostly just playing around, then the little princess now truly exudes an aura of authority that she cannot hide despite her young age.
"Mr. Broly, I don't know how I can repay the kindness you showed in saving my mother."
Princess Ariel lifted the hem of her skirt, bowed slightly to Broly, and looked at him with sparkling eyes as she spoke.
"If you just live happily every day, let me break even, and let me earn happiness points as soon as possible, that will be my reward."
Princess Ariel regained her memories of the previous timeline, and Broly no longer needed to treat her like a real child. He immediately stood up and replied.
"Yes, I will."
Princess Ariel nodded, and seeing the Saiyan boy preparing to leave, she quickly asked.
"Aren't you staying?"
"I also have a wife to conquer."
"I really envy Miss Luo Qixi and the others, to have you by their side to protect them so carefully."
Broly thought about it and figured that the princess was probably worried about her safety.
So he replied, "Don't worry, although the Radiant Elf Almanfi is a bit weak, there's no one in this palace who can defeat him. As for Ars, I'll also speak to the Water Goddess and ask her to look after you. Besides..."
Broly pulled out a communication device made by Alsterd from his pocket—a ring inlaid with a red magic crystal—and slapped it directly onto Princess Ariel's hand: "You should know how to use magic. If any other problems arise, you can inject magic into this magic ring. I'll come over here when I receive the call."
After doing all that, Broly waved to her and then flew away.
Princess Ariel looked at the ring in her hand and showed a helpless expression, realizing that this was probably the treatment for non-staff members.
This is completely unrelated to what Hilfi said about taking good care of her, playing with her, and helping her grow up.
However, the fact that the memories of the previous playthrough are preserved is enough.
Although his mother is not dead, he doesn't seem to have much political wisdom.
But for Princess Ariel, who now has memories of a previous playthrough, the current situation is already a dreamlike start.
With careful planning and scheming for the future, and by leveraging the name of the Ankylosaurus King, inheriting the throne would be a piece of cake, but...
"Mr. Broly, could you please take me away from the Asura Palace? I actually want to experience a free and unrestrained life, rather than just living the so-called life of a princess in the palace..."
"Sister Luo Qixi, can I learn magic from you? I actually have a dream of becoming a magician."
"Gilead, can you teach me swordsmanship? No, I'm not interested in swordsmanship; I just want to grow up with Alice."
The so-called future queen's status is nothing compared to the Broly family's position within the family, where memories can be preserved during time travel.
Instead of trying to compete for power with others in this playthrough, it's better to build a good relationship with the Broly family and develop a deeper bond.
"So cute, little Silphie! Can I change her diapers?"
After regaining her memories from the previous timeline, Princess Ariel quickly used her abilities to control her mother and the noble groups that had been attracted by Queen Asura under the guise of being sent by the Ankylosaurus King to protect her. This gave her the freedom of action that ordinary underage princes and princesses did not have.
After obtaining this power, the thing she did most was to use the ring to summon Broly and ask him to take her out to play. It seemed like she was just playing, but in reality, she was trying to build a good relationship with Loki and the others who hadn't yet regained their memories from the previous timeline.
Princess Ariel has a high EQ. Before either Lokishi or Alice regained their memories, she could always make them very happy.
However, Kyrie I, who had also regained his memories of the previous timeline, could clearly sense that the princess was intentionally trying to curry favor with the others in the Crystal Palace.
However, this wasn't a bad thing, so Big Dog didn't say anything.
Princess Ariel, full of scheming and calculation, did not see her happiness points stagnate as she took all these actions; on the contrary, her happiness points soared.
The reason is that she truly felt happiness; this completely different and carefree life after starting over was something she had never experienced before.
Joining the Crystal Palace was the best decision she ever made, and this opportunity was inextricably linked to Hilfi, who would come to save her in the future, in the year 417 of the Ankylion calendar. Princess Ariel was incredibly grateful to the green-haired girl who was still a baby at the time.
"Sylphie, don't worry, I will love Broly well for you until you regain your memories."
Princess Ariel has a slightly teasing manner in her speech and actions, but she truly keeps her word and offers her happiness in this cycle.
The way this princess displays love is indeed just like the rumors of the Kingdom of Asura, perfectly matching her reputation as a pervert.
Even more outrageous is that Princess Ariel did this not only to Broly, but also to everyone else in the Crystal Palace.
In public, she can be a dignified and noble princess; in private, she is willing to be a subordinate and actively try to please others.
The idea that a noble princess could serve you like a lowly maid is indescribable; one can only say that this princess is incredibly good at providing emotional value to others.
Even if the other people in Crystal Palace didn't intend to humiliate her, they could still get a great sense of triumph from her.
Broly sensed something was amiss. During a deeper interaction, he subtly tested Princess Ariel's happiness points, only to discover that they were increasing instead of decreasing.
Broly realized that this wasn't Sink Nielbaren at all; it was clearly Darkness Laratina, who practically had "M" written all over her face.
On the 54th playthrough, Princess Ariel gives Broly a feeling of the tables turning upside down. It's not that he's trying to win her over, but rather that she's trying to win him over, and she's even winning over the other members of the Crystal Palace along with her.
But it's not surprising that Princess Ariel reacted this way; Broly offered her the sense of security she needed most, which was extremely attractive to her.
