Zongman Infinity: Choose the Succubus entry at the beginning

In the hall used to receive distinguished guests.

A handsome young warrior looked at Nobuna with burning eyes.

"I want to establish a blood alliance with the Oda family."

"In short—I want you to be my wife."

"Pfft...what did you say?!"

Hearing this, Nobunai couldn't help but cough out the tea he had just tasted.

The expression on her face was quite strange.

Because this is after she was dubbed "Oda's Foolish Princess"

The first time I was proposed to by a "man".

"You, you, you actually want me to marry you?! Is this a marriage proposal?!"

"Yes, it is just as Your Highness said."

The handsome young man nodded with a smile.

"Let us officially tie the knot on behalf of the two countries of Owari and Omi."

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could conquer the world together?"

"Etc., etc!"

Nobuna quickly raised her arm to stop the other person from speaking.

"Asai Nagamasa—I am truly troubled by your coming to visit privately this time and saying such things."

As she spoke, the girl quickly glanced at Su Ming who was sitting next to her out of the corner of her eye.

She had thought that the latter would at least express opposition to the other party's proposal...

But for some reason, after seeing Asai Nagamasa, the handsome young man who proposed marriage.

He just sat there with a smile on his face, showing no intention of joining the discussion.

"I apologize for making such a sudden request, Your Highness Nobuna."

Asai Nagamasa said this in a tone that lacked any apology.

"However, doing so is most in line with the current situation Your Highness is facing. I ask that you carefully consider this matter."

"Seriously consider something..."

Nobuna took a deep breath and looked straight at the handsome man in front of her.

"Since you said you wanted to propose, but we've never met before, let alone have any feelings for each other..."

"No, romance is something only common people do."

However, Asai Nagamasa shook his head and answered as a matter of course.

"I am the head of the Asai family, and you are the head of the Oda family."

"Since we were born into a powerful family, it's normal for us to give up love and enter into a political marriage."

"It's normal!"

Such cold words made Nobuna very angry - but she quickly suppressed her frantic expression.

After all, the other party is the Asai family, a wealthy family that is not inferior to the Imagawa family.

"I'm not interested in what you call a political marriage."

"Your Highness Nobuna, we are not children anymore..."

Asai Nagamasa was just about to persuade him with his emotions and reason.

But Nobuna interrupted impatiently.

"As for me, I want to choose my own husband and marry the man I love. What's wrong with that?!"

"Oh……"

I don't know why, but I was amazed to see Nobuna say these words with such courage.

A look of envy appeared on the handsome young man's face.

"So, Your Highness Nobuna already has someone he likes?"

As he spoke, Asai Nagamasa turned his gaze to Su Ming.

It was clearly a private visit, but apart from the two family heads, no one else was there.

There was actually a third person present, which is very intriguing.

"Could it be this gentleman who clearly has the right to sit here but remains silent?"

"It's just...it's not..."

Nobuna retorted subconsciously, but her voice became smaller and smaller.

At this moment, Su Ming, who had been smiling without saying anything, finally spoke.

"Master Nagamasa, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

The handsome young man was stunned when he heard this and was a little confused.

He didn't know what Su Ming was up to.

But he nodded and spoke calmly.

"Please."

"So……"

Su Ming stood up from his seat.

Slowly strolled over to his side.

Finally, he whispered softly in Asai Nagamasa's ear.

"I'm curious, how do two women become a couple?"

"you--!!!!!"

Asai Nagamasa, who had just been calm and composed, as if the situation was under control, suddenly changed his expression.

How could this man know the secret she had hidden since she was a child?!

As the head of the Asai family, Asai Nagamasa was once held hostage by other families when he was young.

In order to protect her chastity, she had to disguise herself as a man until she could escape back to her family.

After becoming the head of the Asai family, she still hid her daughter's identity.

Or, in other words, it is precisely because of his “male” identity.

She can take the position of head of the family.

If the fact that she is disguised as a man is exposed.

I'm afraid she will be immediately betrayed by her blood relatives who are also qualified to inherit the family.

After all, "Ji Daimyo" and "Ji Wujiang" are just helpless choices when there are no male heirs in the family.

During the Warring States Period, women's status was still low.

Even if she is the eldest daughter, her status is not as high as that of her younger brothers.

Even Nobuna, who was officially succeeded to the throne, was betrayed by Nobukatsu time and again.

Only after defeating the Imagawa army in the Battle of Okehazama did his position as the head of the family become completely established.

"Hmm? What did you say to him?"

Asai Nagamasa's face turned pale and frightened in an instant.

Xinnai looked at Su Ming with curiosity and confusion.

"Nothing, just a small question out of curiosity."

Su Ming smiled and looked at Asai Nagamasa meaningfully.

"I wonder if Lord Nagamasa could answer my question."

Answer...answer what?

Asai Nagamasa now wished he could turn into air and disappear without a trace.

"...I didn't expect that there would be such a strange person around His Highness Nobuna."

After a few seconds of silence, Asai Nagamasa calmed down and looked at Su Ming with complicated eyes.

"I wonder what your name is?"

"Su Ming."

"Sir Su Ming, after this meeting, I would like to find time to visit you and have a chat. I wonder if you would be willing."

"Hey—what are you two doing behind my back?"

Seeing that Asai Nagamasa actually bypassed him, he invited Su Ming to meet him.

Xinnai suddenly became irritated, feeling annoyed that someone had stolen his favorite snacks.

"I just want to make friends with some of His Highness Nobuna's confidants."

Asai Nagamasa seemed to have regained his previous composure and said with a smile.

"If I could marry His Highness, I would naturally have to get to know a few people around him."

"That's enough, don't talk about this anymore."

As expected, when this matter was mentioned, Nobuna's attention was immediately diverted.

She rubbed her brows tiredly and waved her hand.

"If there's nothing else, I'll stop here for today."

"Someone, send the head of the Asai family to rest."

Before leaving, Asai Nagamasa looked at Su Ming deeply, then turned and left.

……

"So, what's going on."

Su Ming was naturally kept by Xinnai to review the meeting just now.

"How could I have known that he would suddenly propose to me?"

"No, no, no, I mean, isn't it the head of the Sanhe family you are going to meet today?"

"Oh, you mean the raccoon cat..."

The so-called "raccoon cat" refers to the lord of Mikawa Province, Matsudaira Motoyasu.

The purpose of her trip was to form a non-war alliance with Nobuna.

Speaking of which, Matsudaira Motoyasu's experience is similar to that of Asai Nagamasa.

He was also sent to the Imagawa family as a hostage since he was a child.

After many twists and turns, he has now returned to his own territory.

Although in the recently concluded Battle of Okehazama

Motoyasu captured many Oda clan strongholds in the name of the Imagawa army.

But when he heard the news that "our general Imagawa Yoshimoto has been captured."

She immediately made a tactical shift...which is commonly known as desertion.

After returning to Mikawa, he quickly issued a declaration of independence from the Imagawa family.

It seems that she has endured for a long time for this day.

By the way, the ruler of Mikawa Province has another name - Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"That guy signed the alliance agreement and left this morning."

Nobuna said casually as he recalled what happened today.
