Chapter 203: 203
This is last week's tenth chapter . Today's chapter coming tonight (I think) . . .
. . .
\"Someone is pushing for Dina's marriage . \" Evelyn's serious voice resounded in the room .
I frowned . \"Huh? Who is it this time?\"
\"More than one person . I heard that after yesterday's fight, various noble houses went to the emperor to ask for Dina's hand in marriage . \"
\"Well, my sister is that outstanding after all . \" I could not help but smile in pride .
But Evelyn did not share my jovial mood .
\"The problem is, I'm not sure I can protect her this time . \"
This time, my expression turned serious .
Evelyn had told me before that she had been protecting sister Dina from political marriages . The reason Dian did not have a fiancée nor was engaged despite her age was that Evelyn had used her influence to protect her .
You must know that Evelyn is the headmistress of the Imperial Institute, a thirteen-layer warrior . Moreover, she had another twelfth-layer powerhouse behind her, her teacher . Protecting Dina from being married off for political reasons is rather simple for someone like her .
But the fact that she is not confident about being able to protect Dina means that the people asking for Dina's hand in marriage are influential enough .
\"To be honest, I'm confident in protecting Dina even if one of the three strongest families wants to marry her to their heir . But this time, Dina attracted too much attention by defeating Alan . Many people think that she has a high possibility of becoming a twelfth-layer powerhouse, and even going beyond it is not impossible . In other words, marrying her will not only create a tie to the royal family but also get a powerhouse for the family . \"
I fell deep in thoughts .
\"Who are the families that proposed marriage?\" I asked after a while .
\"Several of them, but the most important ones are the Riea family and the Carmell family, two of the three strongest families . Moreover, a beyond-twelfth layer practitioner also brought his disciple to join the fun… To be honest, I felt there is something fishy behind it . Even if Dina is talented, it's not enough to cause such a stir . I fear that there is someone moving the strings behind scenes . \"
\"… The empress, huh . \"
\"So you also came to the same conclusion . \"
Only two people have such influence, one is the emperor, and the other is the empress . However, the emperor is rather indifferent to Dina's situation so he will never do something like that .
The empress, on the other hand, hates Dina deeply . She hates the children of the woman that stole her husband's heart . She probably wants to use this opportunity to get rid of her .
I sighed . Evelyn saw my expression and sighed too .
\"I can probably delay things one or two months, but even I can't face the pressure of so many powers . Moreover, Dina is the emperor's daughter at the end of the day, if Empress Lilia convinces him of marrying Dina off, there is not much I can do . \"
I nodded gratefully . \"I understand . Thank you for your help . \"
\"It's the least I can do for Silna's children . To be honest, I would like to do even more . \"
\"You are already doing enough . Don't worry, I'll do something about this . \"
Evelyn smiled . \"I know you will . By the way, Claus, I want to ask you something . \"
\"Huh?\"
\"… Dina told me about your plans . Do you truly are thinking about making Dina the emperor?\"
I was amused for one second . It looks like Evelyn is not sure if I was joking or not back then .
