Weapon Seller In The World Of Magic

Fortunately, his suspicions turned out to be false as she explained, "No, my father is willing to hand over the throne to me but he doesn't have the power to face the rebellion from the society.

It was because of this decision that I fought to buy the 1000 panzers and purchase rights for howitzers. But, they can only be used to suppress the rebel elements.

I need a partner who can stand by my side, someone who doesn't look down on women, someone intelligent, someone strong, and someone who doesn't give a shit about how difficult the problem is.

And I don't think I can find a better husband than you."

Mark didn't speak for a while, digesting everything that she had told him earlier. It would be a lie if he says that he wasn't impressed in the least but still, her reasoning wasn't enough for him to consider marrying her.

After thinking for a bit about how to convince her to stop pursuing him, he calmly spoke, "Okay, it seems that you are clear from your side. You might also have a few things left to say in order to convince me that I will be benefited through this marriage.

However, there was a big problem here. You wanted to rule a kingdom and wanted me on your side but I cannot do that. Once my job is finished, I will leave for another realm for good.

And because of your commitments to the people of this land, you will not follow me. Hence, I don't think it is a good idea for you to marry me."

Mark didn't lie to her. Once he had his revenge against his biological parents, and give justice to his late adopted parents, he planned to leave with Lan Jing for the place his maternal grandfather came from.

Of course, there is hesitation because of Song Yue but at the very least, he wasn't creating an excuse to shoo away the princess.

,m However, the princess appeared to be too calm. She didn't flinch at his statement and calmly gazed at Mark.

She then let out a smile and shook her head, "No, Lu Zhen. I'm sure that you won't completely abandon this world and leave with your maternal granduncle, Lan Jing. Or else, you won't ask for the ownership of an island to build a manufacturing facility."

"What!"

Mark rose to his feet with his eyes widened in shock, "how do you know?"

He never spoke of his relation to Lan Jing with anyone else and neither the latter would have revealed it to anyone. If the princess found this relation, doesn't that mean that she also knows his birth secret?

"It is simple once we analyze the past events," Shen Ling continued to smile and gestured for him to sit down.

As he took the seat once again, the princess explained, "Let's start with your adopted parents, Lu Yimu and Yi Zexi.

According to our source of information, Yi Zexi used to be a maid for Empress Dowager, Emperor Shang's mother, and later served the Queen consort, Lan Jingyi.

At that time, her husband, Li Yimu was an apprentice of Master blacksmith Wan. He was a civilian without any ether energy. He neither had any background nor any education.

And yet, all of a sudden, he was given the position of the village chief, that too in a place, which was hundreds of kilometers away from his hometown.

The official story is that Empress Dowager was too happy for her daughter-in-law that she gave her former maid, a present in form of appointing the latter's husband such a position.

Now, when Yi Zexi and Li Yimu arrived at the Houtang village, they already had a baby boy, who looked like he was born roughly around the same time as the third prince. So, that means Yi Zexi was pregnant when she left the service of Emperor Dowager.

However, married women cannot serve as maids for the imperial family. That leaves me with a question.

Was Yi Zexi pregnant before married? If so, then, who is the father of the child? Since Li Yimu was supposed to be her husband, then, he must be the father, correct?

If that is the case, she should have been fired, not sent to her daughter-in-law who was also pregnant around the same time.

Mark interrupted her with a comment, "maybe, she was too nice? You know, my mother served the empress dowager for years. So, I guess she repaid the favor?"

"It's possible. That thought occurred to my mind at first too and I stopped my research," Shen Ling nodded in agreement. However, her explanation has yet to reach even half. She continued, "But, then, I saw you unleashing the freezing technique on that day."

Shen Ling reminded Mark of the day he showcased the Absolute freezing technique to the good elder from the church of doom, Gu Ya, who is on the side of good.

"I knew that you had ice abilities. So, it didn't come off as a surprise but the fact that Elder Gu Ya had requested you to showcase your bloodline ability to reveal her secret prophecy brought to my attention.

It was then I realized that your Freezing technique isn't some ice ability but a bloodline skill.

It made me wonder why you have a bloodline skill in the first place when you were born of civilian parents. Either you have an ancestor with an ice bloodline or you were never the child of Yi Zexi and Li Yimu in the first place.

Now, it isn't any secret that Princess Shang Jiao was an ice-ability user and known to possess Blizzard Pegasus, which she inherited from the line of her maternal family.

You had an ice ability bloodline skill, have similarities with Lan Gengxin, born on the same day as the third prince, and grew up as the son of the woman who happened to work at the Imperial Palace.

Rather than going after that 0.1% probability, I made a bet on the obvious thing. You are the son of Queen Consort Lan Jingyi. Then, who might be the father? Obviously, it is Emperor Shang.

You probably never awakened your bloodline or ether because of the opposing forces of Phoenix and Blizzard Pegasus. Something must have happened at some point in time.

Maybe, your mysterious master or manufacturer or whoever might it be, did something to your body to awaken the sleeping bloodline.

It became clear to me that you are the real third prince. Then, who might be Shang Wei, the one who is living your life? That brings me back to my above suspicion. Why did Empress Dowager do a favor on Yi Zexi?

After all, at that time, no one knows that Yi Zexi would give birth to a son with ether energy and Lan Jingyi would give birth to a normal child.

My hunch is that Shang Wei is the illegitimate son of Emperor Shang and Yi Zexi. That suspicion of mine became more apparent when you demanded your biological father that the fire seed must go to the third prince.

I don't know if you are aware of this or not. But, if a normal person without any hidden bloodline absorbs a powerful thing like the elemental seed, it would lead to death.

And soon, I would hear the results. I'm confident that Shang Wei would awaken his Phoenix bloodline. So, it's alright.

As for Lan Jing, I know that he visited your store once, and then, you bothered to call him and his king for tea before the auction. It is obvious that you know him and now, you just told me that you are leaving this world. That gives it away. You will leave with him as he is from another realm just like Lan Gengxin."

As Shen Ling was explaining how she analyzed each incident to draw a conclusion, Mark just stared at her in astonishment. It was too difficult to digest everything but he tried to be as calm as possible as he responded with a question, "Is there anything else you would like to say about me?"

Looking at Mark's expression, the princess realized that she had successfully impressed him a little bit. But, there is still a bit of information in her head she was dying to tell him.

Now that Mark is curious to know what else this princess had analyzed about him, she continued by asking, "What else I know? Should I tell you about how I think that Black Knight is Song Yun, and how Wu Weibao is actually the beast emperor Zheng, or about your revenge against the Imperial Palace through weapons dependence? Hmm?"

Mark's heartbeat rose to the peak as he felt like his plans were completely exposed to this lady. For the first time in the past few months, he found someone scary.
