(Guiying POV)
Alright! I managed to get the treaty signed before Master can stop me!
Now Master will be the God king! Then I can slowly push Master towards my eventual goal of marriage! Then Master will be the new God Emperor!
Ehehehe~ Married life with Master~ Master will call me 'darling', or maybe 'honey'~ And we'll go on honeymoons, we'll go on a boat ride in the evening… And then under the starry skies we'll kiss, Master will embrace me and then… Ehehehehe~
We'll start a family together! That's right!
More than just a disciple and Master, we would be husband and wife! Then we'll have babies! Lots of babies! And they will all be mine and Master's babies!!
My family won't die again! They will be strong! We'll crush those who stand against us! I won't lose my family ever again!
"Ow!"
I looked up at Master who had flicked my forehead with his finger.
"You know… At least giving me a heads up would be nice?"
I almost poured at him until I remembered we were still in the presence of other people.
Instead, I settled for a frown, "If I had suggested this, Master Lin would not have accepted the terms at all."
"Well of course, I never wanted this in the first place! And what is this about me levelling their capital city?!"
King Tian Ya steepled his fingers in front of him, "That is… We were told our city does not fit Master Lin's current image. That's why it would be easier for the city to be completely destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up…"
Master turned his oh so, very delicious gaze back to me. Mmmm~~ I just want Master to keep watching me all day~~
"Fit my image?"
I nodded, "That is correct. There should at least be a grand church for Master and statues built in Master's likeness in every corner. That current city is not even enough for Master to– Ack!"
Master flicked my forehead again.
Master! As much as I don't mind it, my image of a Queen is being shattered you know? Ah, but please don't stop looking at me with that wonderful gaze~~
"What the hell are you even talking about? Why would I even want a church for myself? I'm not some godlike being to be worshipped."
I tilted my head, "Eh? Is Master Lin not God?"
"Haaaaa? What the hell are you talking about woman? Since when have I ever claimed to be one?"
"Eh? Does that mean…"
I shifted my line of sight to my fellow sisters, only to see them shaking their heads frantically at me.
Ah.
It seems like Master is unaware of the fact that he is a Divine being?
Oh dear, did I do something unnecessary?
Erm… Erm… What should I do now? The treaty's already been signed!
Elaria was quick to hop to Master's side, "Onii-sama! This could be a good chance to modernize the city! The space back at our hometown isn't big enough for our factories anymore so this could be a good chance!"
Master narrowed his eyes at her, "Why would that actually be a good idea?"
Elaria placed her hands on her hips, "Onii-sama, it's difficult to improve people's lives without expansion you know?"
"And what kind of improvements are those? It wouldn't happen to involve more tanks, would it?"
She giggled, "Oh, Onii-sama! Of course it's not just that! We do need to expand our entertainment industry too, you know? With more people, the facilities back home is no longer adequate, this is also a good chance to go international!"
Those words actually seem to make Master pause for a moment.
"I see… I suppose it would make sense for the world to advance technologically… Hmm… I suppose I can accept that, just don't name me as King."
I jumped at the chance, "In that case, I shall name Elaria as the acting regent of the territory until Master Lin decides to take over. She shall assist in the development of the territory in place of Master Lin but Master Lin is still able to take over as the Head whenever he wishes to. Are we in agreement?"
King Tian Ya sighed, "We will accept any terms, Queen Guiying. It matters not who you put at the head as long as the bloodshed stops."
I unfurled my fan again to hide my smile, "Mmm… In that case, does miss Elaria of the Lindulf Family accept her new position?"
"Elaria Lindulf humbly accepts her Majesty's order," She answered immediately.
King Tian Ya stood up, "In that case, I suppose things here are settled. If I could request Master Lin to transport me back to the capital?"
Master seemed to have resigned himself to his fate since he waved his hand at them, causing them to be teleported away without much resistance.
With the King gone, Master turned his attention to me, "Alright, admit it. How long have you been planning this?"
I got out of my seat and went up to hug Master's arm, "Ehehehe~ Ever since the Dongs invaded us I guess? Though I never expected Master to be caught though…"
"Yeah, a bit of misunderstanding on that part but I suppose it worked in your favour," Master sighed, leaning back into his chair. "I'm still not going to be king though."
I smiled, even if Master does not wish to be a king, he now holds that title whether he wants to or not. That should bridge the gap between our political standings and open the way for me to marry him!
And on the off chance that one day Master changes his mind and chooses to rule over his granted territory, then all the more better!
With sister Elaria taking over the reins first, I have no doubt this entire territory would become a powerhouse that can stand up to the neighbouring three countries without a problem.
The only unfortunate thing would be the fact that there won't be Master's statues in every street corner and the church I thought of constructing in Master's belief would have to be suspended or even brought underground.
I would need to consult this issue with my fellow sisters, hopefully they might come up with a better solution to my current predicament.
Master raised his head, "Anyway, what's this about me levelling a city? What do you intend for me to do?"
I blinked at him, "Why Master… It's exactly as it says. Destroy the entire city and its foundations. It doesn't matter how you do it, but we'll basically be building a new one from scratch."
Master considered for a moment.
"I'm repeating myself here… But I'm quite adamant about having no intention to take the position of king. So don't you come up with any more schemes to push that position on me."
I puffed my cheeks at him, "Fine… I'll give up for now… But could Master move Heaven Sect to the new city site? At least to help maintain the order there especially with the other Sects in the area."
Master raised an eyebrow at me, "Shouldn't you be asking Sect Master Qing about this instead of me?"
"Oh, he already said yes," I lied, knowing full well that Master's opinion was the only one that mattered. "It's just whether Master is ok with it?"
Master rubbed his chin, "Hmm… I suppose I am fine with it. A new place might be nice and it'll help you as well. I have no problems with it."
As expected of Master!
Uuuu… I really, really want to marry Master now!!
