Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System
chapter-457-2

"Ahenm…." The king walked up behind me and knocked me on the head, causing me to turn and glare at him. But he ignored me completely. "Now then. As you can see, my soon to be daughter in law has a bit of an overprotective syndrome when it comes to her loved ones, which allows me to feel reassured that my daughter will be in good hands.

"As you all know, it might look strange for so many girls to be up on this stage, but this is how it is. These three girls and my daughter will all be marrying Fatih Cyrilia. And because of this, from this day forth, Faith Cyrilia will be known as Princess Cyrilia, and he father, who is in charge of Cyrilia village, will become known as Duke Cyrilia." The king's words were still burning in my ear, making me want to kick him!

"Oi! Old man! We never discussed this!" I yelled out. I couldn't hold my anger in.

"Princess Cyrilia, we are in public. Please speak respectfully." The king replied to me through gritted teeth.

"If you want respect, then stop doing sneaky things! I never wanted a royal title! Neither did my father! If you give him one, my father will rage! Plus, don't you have a fude with him!?" I kindly reminded him that my mother was stolen from him by my father.

Sure enough, the king's expression turned sour. He glared at me and snorted. "Hah! This is what I want! The more he is pissed off, the better!"

"What are you, a little kid!?" I yelled back.

We had completely forgotten that we were in public. As we argued back and forth, I could feel the eyes of the citizens staring at us, causing me to finally look over to look at their shocked expressions. "Ahem…." I cleared my throat. "Anyway…!"

The king was about to continue when I elbowed him in the side, causing him to glare at me. Adel and Sophie were giggling away, while Atolie and Grace were as quiet as always. Adel just found it funny, but Sophie was used to such scenes. In fact, it brought back a bit of nostalgia. The king and I would always argue like this in the previous timeline. Some things just never change.

Adel finally stepped forward after finishing her giggling fit and said: "As you can see, we are quite close in all aspects. I love Faith. I love Sophie, Atolie, and Grace as well. We already have a very close bond with one another. We are already a family. So I hope everyone of this kingdom can give us your blessing and watch over us as we grow together as a family. Our wedding will be held in two years' time. We will hold it in the lower city and will allow everyone to come to attend. I do not care if you are poor or rich. All are welcome.

"Because I believe in this world all of us are equal, even if some of us are having harder times than others. And to celebrate this day, my father will be helping the poor communities of the lower city to establish new housing and work."

So this was why Adel asked me so many questions about what she could do for the people. I had only suggested the things I did in the past timelines since it worked well. Now, the king was the one who would be implementing it! I hope it will go smoothly.

"So once more, I hope you will give us your blessing." Adel bowed to the ground, and so did the rest of us. Even the king himself bowed to the people, which startled many. But this was also what made a good king. He knew when to bow his head to the people and when to keep it raised up. This was what allowed a king to feel less distant to his people.

With that all situated, A maid with a tray that held four boxes on it was brought over. It was time for me to formally propose, but to think Adel even remembered to get rings, and four at that! It was as if she knew Atolie and Grace would be joining.

I sighed and took the first box and looked into Adel's eyes, which were smiling back and me. "Adel, in this life and all my lives, no matter what happens, I will find you and make you my wife over and over again."

"Mmm!" Adel beamed an even more beautiful smile at me as I stuck the ring on her finger.

Adel stepped back and let Sophie step forward. I reached up and scratched her ears, causing her to close her eyes. "Sophie. You have always been there. And I can not see my life without you in it. So I hope I can make you happy this time around as well."

"Hehe. I know you will!" Sophie smiled and held out her hand. I once again slipped a finger onto her finger. She looked at it and then hugged me tightly. I smiled and hugged her back.

Grace was next, and she looked pretty nervous. I looked at her with a lot of emotion. From what I know, Grace has been by my side in all my lives. Helping me through my darkest times. "Grace, sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's fine. I am just glad you finally realized my feelings." Grace's normally stoic expression finally bloomed into a smile. It was enough to cause everyone who saw it to be stunned. She truly looked beautiful when she smiled.

After giving Grace her ring, Atolie was last. She looked down at me as I looked up at her. "Atolie, I do not know what I have done to deserve you. You have always done so much for me. I am unfortunately unable to remember in those times lines when we were together, but I plan to make new memories with you that will stick around for all eternity."
