Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 175 Prince Charles

"Alright! When the time comes, we, the female female female female female female female female female female... the male gods, will work together to kill the demon world and turn it upside down. Let them know how powerful my Yi family army is!"

Eli continued to speak, since Princess Lina didn't care about having so many females, why would he be afraid to say something?
"What Yi's Army? They are only Evelyn and you. They should be the great Princess Lina and her followers!"

Although she was locked tightly in Eli's arms, Princess Lina still argued that the name Yi's Army was too ugly, so she should be the one to name it.

"They are following me. Even you are one of my followers."

Eli's thickness of skin was obviously not comparable to that of Princess Lina, but he was telling the truth. At least Jessica and Cecilia were his die-hard followers.

"You are strong and you are right, okay? It was I who couldn't resist your temptation and got on board the pirate ship."

Princess Lina pursed her lips, as if she felt a little aggrieved. She was so young and pretty, but she fell into his hands before she even had her coming-of-age ceremony. She didn't know how he would torture her tonight...

"Not convinced? Then let me show you how powerful your fiancé is."

As he spoke, Eli leaned down, pressed his forehead against Princess Lina's swaying face, and kissed her lips.

Princess Lina wore lip gloss today, but it was not bright red, just a light layer. After being kissed by Eli, the lip gloss was quickly eaten away, and what followed was her sweet plunder.

"Woo..."

Princess Lina was kissed so hard that she could only whimper slightly. She didn't dare nor did she want to resist. She just thought about the engagement ceremony that would be held soon. If Eli continued like this, she would have to ask someone to touch up her makeup.

"Woooo..."

Princess Lina struggled a few times in Eli's arms, but with her strength, this little movement was more like a rubbing to add to the fun than a resistance. Since the charming princess was in such a good mood, Eli would of course take advantage of the situation and unknowingly put one hand on the mountains.

It was just that due to the posture, Princess Lina was tightly pressed against his arms, so even though Eli's hands were placed in the right position, they were clamped so tightly that he couldn't use all he had learned in his life.

But even so, Eli neither let go nor relented until the beautiful princess had difficulty breathing after kissing her. Only then did Eli reluctantly let go of her temporarily.

"You only know how to bully me! Why don't you go and bully Cecilia and the others..."

Finally breathing a breath of fresh air, Princess Lina blushed and blamed Eli. It wasn't like she really didn't want to kiss him, so was there any need to be so hard?
Fortunately, she was smart and stayed close to Eli when he was making moves, otherwise she would have been taken advantage of more than just that.

"You were not here when I bullied Cecilia. Next time, I will bully both of you at the same time..."

Eli had a weird smile on his face as he spoke, and he licked his lips. I don't know if it was because Princess Lina was too sweet, or if he was thinking about the scene in the future where they would bully two beautiful girls with a delicate relationship.

"Humph! Anyway, don't bully me for now. Wait until tonight... tonight."

Princess Lina struggled to break free from Eli's arms, lifted her skirt and ran to the other side to sit down. It seemed that she didn't want to pay any attention to Eli before the formal engagement ceremony.

At this moment, a large group of people suddenly poured into the backstage of the empty auditorium. Except for Cecilia and several maids from the Duke's Mansion, the rest were maids sent from the palace and staff such as makeup artists and stylists.

There was still some time before the ceremony started, but everyone was still busy. Everything was prepared properly, but there were always people secretly causing trouble.

For example, the lip print that Mr. Eli accidentally got on his face needs to be wiped off, Princess Lina's mysteriously missing lipstick needs to be reapplied, the back of Mr. Eli's dress is wrinkled and needs to be straightened, and there is a palm print on the chest of Princess Lina's dress that needs to be smoothed out.

It’s great to be young. You have to seize every moment to be intimate. But that’s okay. Since they are so loving, Your Majesty should be able to rest assured.

After tidying up the two people, these people stayed by their side and did not leave.

At this time, guests who were closer and had closer relationships had already arrived one after another. Given the status of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Saint Eli, there was naturally no need for them to greet the guests, but now they had to stay here honestly and not act recklessly anymore.

The boring wait is the most tiring. Princess Lina, who was sitting quietly on the side, felt that it would be better to kill time with Eli. However, Cecilia was guarding him and there were so many people watching, so she could only think about it.

Finally, after waiting for a long time, there was a noisy sound outside, but it soon quieted down. Then everyone heard a band playing across the room. Princess Lina knew that it was her father who had come.

After all, it was Her Royal Highness's engagement ceremony, and Princess Lina was the only daughter of the Emperor of the Dawn Empire, so His Majesty the Emperor naturally had to be present in person. In addition to him, the Queen and Princess Lina's biological mother, the Imperial Concubine, were also present.

There were more people from the royal family who came. Twenty-nine of Princess Lina's thirty-two brothers came, and nine of her eleven younger brothers came. The ones who didn't come didn't come because they didn't want to come. Of the five absent princes, the three older ones were still on the front battlefield and couldn't come back, and the two younger ones were still in their infancy and were not suitable to be brought to a noisy place.

Originally, many princes had been crowned kings and had their own fiefdoms, and they were not in the imperial capital at all. However, for Princess Lina's engagement ceremony, they all rushed back specially. Only the three brothers who were trapped on the battlefield could not make it back.

"Where's my sister Lina? Why can't I see her?"

At this time, the voice of Prince Charles came from outside. He is Princess Lina's fifth brother. When they were still living in the palace, he doted on his sister Lina very much. He would send her anything delicious and fun. Even though he was divided into fiefdoms in the past few years, he would often send some specialties of his fiefdom to Princess Lina.

"Her Royal Highness is backstage in the auditorium. It is not convenient for her to come out now. Please wait a moment. She will come out when the ceremony begins." A maid answered Prince Charles' question. With so many guests arriving, not only the people in the Duke's Palace were busy, but the maids and palace maids from the royal palace also had to help.

"I'm Lina's brother. If she can't meet guests, can't she meet me? I came all the way back via the teleportation array... If Lina can't meet him, I can go meet that Eli guy, right?"

Prince Charles did not leave immediately, but he did not force to see his sister. Instead, he changed the subject and planned to meet Eli.

"This... Mr. Eli should be with Her Royal Highness the Princess right now, so it may not be convenient for him to meet with guests..."

Judging from the voice, the maid who was speaking and Prince Charles should have already walked to the backstage door. There were naturally special guards guarding the door outside, but it seemed that they did not dare to stop Prince Charles.

Charles Stocker, the fifth prince of the Dawn Empire, was granted the title of prince a few years ago and was granted the title of prince to the wealthy province of Kedun. He was the most outstanding among the many princes of the empire, even stronger than the eldest prince of the empire.

Although the current emperor of the Dawn Empire is old, he still has a long life ahead of him, so he has not yet appointed a crown prince. Since its founding, the Dawn Empire has never insisted on appointing the eldest son as the crown prince, so theoretically speaking, Prince Charles may be the prince with the best chance of inheriting the throne of the Dawn Empire.

It's just that the current Emperor doesn't show any preference for any other prince except Princess Lina. But considering that there has never been an empress in the history of the empire, the most favored Princess Lina is actually not a threat to the other princes. But also because the old emperor only favored Princess Lina, all the princes are trying their best to have a good relationship with Princess Lina.

The one who did the best among them was the fifth prince Charles. He got along best with Princess Lina. If nothing unexpected happened, with his outstanding talent and good relationship with Princess Lina, he would be the next emperor of the Dawn Empire.

But Eli, who was reborn, knew that Prince Charles did not become the noble emperor in the end. It was not because he was not good enough or he did not do well in some way. It was simply because the Dawn Empire fell too quickly and there was no throne for him to inherit before he could inherit it.

"It's okay, let him in."

Eli shouted towards the door. The guards outside were worrying about how to deal with Prince Charles. When they heard Saint Eli inside asking them to let the people in, they decisively made way.

"Eli Bruno..."

Prince Charles murmured the name softly as he entered the room. He had met Eli several times when he was young, but because the other party was too low-key, he did not have a deep impression of him. He only knew that this nobleman had some talent and might make a name for himself in the future.

But he never imagined that when he heard the name again several years later, this person whom he had forgotten suddenly became the most outstanding genius in the empire. Although he was younger than him, he was already an extremely powerful saint. It was said that he was only one step away from the realm of the Venerable. If nothing unexpected happened in the future, becoming a god would be a piece of cake.

Become a god...

Since the invasion of the demons, the barrier between the world of gods and the world of mortals has been broken, and mortals on earth can ascend to become gods after practicing to the highest level. Over the past thousand years, there have been less than ten people who have ascended to become gods among all the hundreds of races. You can imagine how difficult the path to becoming a god is.

Not every strong person with the potential to become a god can eventually become a god, but Eli is the first person in the history of the entire mortal world who has shown the potential to become a god at such a young age. If the probability of other peerless geniuses with the potential to become gods is 10 to 20 percent, then Eli's probability of becoming a god may be as high as 50 percent or even higher.

This is a person who is more worthy of being won over than sister Lina. As long as a friendly relationship can be established with him, why should we worry about the instability of the crown prince's position?
"Eli, I haven't seen you in about seven or eight years. I never thought you would become my brother-in-law."

Prince Charles seemed very enthusiastic when he saw Eli, as if they were very familiar with each other. In fact, they had only met a few times before, let alone spoke a word, let alone being familiar with each other. It was a good memory that they could recognize each other at this time.

"I did think that I would become the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness. After all, Lina is so outstanding, and only I am worthy of her."

Prince Charles extended his hand enthusiastically, and Eli shook hands with him, but soon let go, while not forgetting to respond to him.

I haven't seen him for seven or eight years. How come the once low-key boy has grown into this? Although he is not particularly arrogant, he sounds like he is not easy to get along with.

"That's true. Nowadays, everyone knows the name of Eli Bruno. From the continent to the ocean, your great deeds are being praised everywhere."

Prince Charles did not say this deliberately to please Eli. He was just stating a fact. Eli is like this now. It can be said that he has reached a point where everyone in the entire mortal world knows him. No matter whether it is the edge of the continent or the depths of the sea, even if someone does not know who the emperor of the Dawn Empire is, they will know the name Eli Bruno of the Dawn Empire.

"I dare not say that I have done anything great. I have only made some insignificant contributions. When I go to the battlefield again in the future, I will do something great."

It was hard to tell whether Eli's words sounded humble or immodest. Anyway, Prince Charles wanted to frown when he heard them, but he did not show any impatience on the surface and still had a gentle smile on his face.

"Hahahaha...Brother-in-law, you are still too modest. But it's okay this way. Not being arrogant or impatient is a good thing. You will definitely achieve greater success in the future. But before that, I hope you can be a qualified husband and bring a happy life to my sister Lina."

As Prince Charles spoke, he turned his head and looked at Princess Lina who was sitting on the other side. If it were someone else, he might have patted the other person on the shoulder to show encouragement when he said this, but thinking that Eli was already a saint, he had to give up the idea.

"That's for sure. After all, Lina has more than 40 brothers. If I treat her badly, you guys will crush me to death."

While Eli was speaking, he turned his head to look at Princess Lina. After receiving a roll of the eyes from the other party, he turned back and looked at Prince Charles and said with a smile.

"Haha, that's true. We in the Stoke family don't have much else, but we have many brothers and sisters. I believe you will treat Lina well. It's getting late, so I'll leave first. When the ceremony starts, the other brothers and I will send you blessings from the audience."

Prince Charles didn't know whether Eli intentionally mentioned their many brothers or was just joking with no hidden intention. In any case, the purpose of contacting him first was achieved. If he insisted too much, it might be annoying, so it was time for him to withdraw.

But before leaving, he always had to say a few words to Princess Lina, otherwise it would be unacceptable.
