God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Engagement With The Imperial Princess?
Hearing Weiss’ firm stance, Lord Trevor looked at him as if he were looking at a cold-blooded murderer.

After regaining his composure, Lord Trevor asked, “If that nuclear bomb detonates, you will also die.”

“For the sake of the lives of ten million people as well as yours, please think twice about letting that nuclear bomb explode in Phoenix City.”

Hearing Lord Trevor’s dissuasion, Weiss snickered at him, “Did you really think I’m that idiotic to kill myself with my own power?”

“Even if that nuclear bomb detonates, I can leave here before it does. And even if I don’t leave, the nuclear bomb is powerful enough to kill me. However, even if I’m killed, it doesn’t mean I’m dead.”

Lord Trevor looked at Weiss in confusion written on his face, “???”

Noticing the confusion in Lord Trevor’s face, Weiss didn’t bother to explain.

He waved his hand and the nuclear bomb disappeared.

“You ought to compensate me.”

Leaving those words, Weiss walked towards the royal palace with Alice, leaving Lord Trevor in a daze due to the sudden turn of events.

After several seconds had passed, Lord Trevor recovered from his daze and soon realized what just happened. Knowing that Weiss didn’t let the nuclear bomb explode and only asked them for compensation, Lord Trevor sighed in relief.

Lord Trevor ran and followed behind Weiss as he promised, “The Phoenix Empire will do its best to compensate you for your loss.”

…

After Lord Trevor guided Weiss inside the royal palace while Alice followed Weiss in invisible mode, they soon arrived inside the royal palace’s throne room where the Phoenix Emperor was waiting and sitting on his golden throne.

Not only the Phoenix Emperor, but most of the imperial family’s members such as the empress, the crown prince, the imperial princess, as well as the other offspring of the emperor were present in the throne room.

Including the crown prince and the imperial princess, there were a total of three princes and four princesses. The Phoenix Emperor didn’t have any concubines so all of those children came from just one wife, proving how much he loved his wife.

When Weiss, Alice, and Lord Trevor arrived inside the throne room, Weiss looked at the Phoenix Emperor and the same went for the Phoenix Emperor. The two of them stared at each other as they sized up each other.

The Phoenix Emperor wore a golden crown on his head, adorning his orange-colored hair. He had orange eyes and seemed to be in his late thirties, looking like a handsome sugar daddy.

In reality, the Phoenix Emperor’s age was already fifty years old. He looked younger than his age and the same went for the Empress.

The Phoenix Emperor had an imposing presence due to reigning over billions of citizens under his Phoenix Empire.

Despite that, Weiss was unaffected by his presence and only the Viceroy knelt towards the Phoenix Emperor.

Weiss indifferently stared at the Phoenix Emperor before speaking, “Your mutts have offended me. Is this what you call a compensation?”

If Weiss had transmigrated into Blue Star without his system, even he couldn’t disrespect the Phoenix Emperor. At most, he wouldn’t be required to kneel since he was still the young heir of the Albus Conglomerate.

However, Weiss had great confidence in his power to the point that the weapons of mankind could no longer pose any threat to him. That was what backed up his arrogance and the Phoenix Emperor was well aware of that.

Knowing Weiss’ power, the Phoenix Emperor didn’t find any faults with Weiss. Instead, he declared, “As compensation for the offense of former duke Tristan’s son as well as the royal guards, not only will I bestow you with the rank of a Duke, but I will also grant you the hand in marriage of my daughter the imperial princess Ivy Phoenix.”

Hearing the Phoenix Emperor’s declaration, Weiss was indifferent to it but the same couldn’t be said for Alice.

Out of shock, Alice dropped the popcorn she was eating along with the popcorn bucket. Fortunately, the popcorn was just the product of her ability so it was included in her invisible mode.

In her invisible mode, Alice was in another dimension and she couldn’t interfere in Blue Star’s dimension aside from affecting Weiss. Because of that, the damage or any actions she imposed on her dimension wouldn’t be reflected in the real dimension.

Even when Alice’s golden halo and angel wings were very conspicuous, she didn’t attract attention even after her popcorn bucket fell and spilled to the ground.

In the real dimension, there wasn’t any popcorn that littered the floor of the throne room.

Noticing Alice’s overreaction, Weiss knew why she was shocked as well as pissed off.

Remembering his love for Alice as well as their promise to each other, Weiss shook his head and replied to the Phoenix Emperor, “I accept the rank of a Duke but I won’t accept the engagement. I won’t marry your daughter.”

In response to Weiss’ refusal, the Phoenix Emperor didn’t give up and said, “I have already asked your father beforehand and he agreed with the engagement between you and Ivy.”

Despite that, Weiss didn’t agree, “Hold up, I’ll fact-check this. I’ll ask my father.”

Raising his hand near his ear, a fictional phone appeared in Weiss’ right hand. One of the princesses who was secretly an otaku immediately recognized it.

It was none other than the Call-Call Phone from the anime and novel “In Another World With My Phones”.

It was an artifact that allowed the user to call someone regardless of signal and location. As long as the caller knows the appearance and name of the recipient, the call will be connected no matter what.

Furthermore, an identical phone will appear in front of the recipient which the recipient could use to answer the call.

…

When Weiss used the Call-Call Phone, another Call-Call Phone appeared in front of Weiss’ father, Victor Albus.

Seeing the phone that appeared out of nowhere, Victor Albus was surprised. However, he was familiar with the Call-Call Phone since Victor had also watched animes in his free time.

Victor was currently inside his office in the main building of the Albus Conglomerate. He was busy with the paperwork so the appearance of the Call-Call Phone caught him off-guard.

Nevertheless, Victor knew about the start of the player era so he decided to answer the Call-Call Phone.

…

Weiss received feedback from his Call-Call Phone and soon enough, he asked his father, “Father, did you have an agreement with the Emperor regarding my engagement with the imperial princess?”

/Yes, I did. From what I have remembered, we have talked about your love life before and you did mention that you don’t care about engagements as long as your fiancee is worthy of you./

/Ivy is the imperial princess of Phoenix Kingdom and she has a good personality, is beautiful, and also comes from a powerful background. So she fits you well and I agree with the Emperor’s proposal./

Hearing his father’s reply, Weiss couldn’t find fault with it.

According to the memories of the time before he transmigrated into Blue Star, he had indeed said that to his father.

After all, Weiss knew that it would benefit his future if he paired up with someone worthy of him. Since he didn’t have anyone he loved, he didn’t mind getting engaged to someone due to an arranged marriage.

His father also had high standards so he didn’t have to worry about being engaged to someone who wasn’t worthy of him.

However, that was in the past. Now, he was finally with Alicestria. And according to his agreement with Alice, he wouldn’t start any harem since Alice didn’t want to share him with other girls.

Of course, Weiss didn’t mind that since he also didn’t like the idea of sharing Alice with other boys.

Because of that, he could only reject the engagement. Weiss replied to his father, “I won’t marry Ivy. I already have someone I love.”

Hearing Weiss’ reply, Victor was undoubtedly surprised since he paused for a while and didn’t respond.

After all, Victor knew that despite Blue Star having a ten billion population, his son Weiss didn’t seem to find his “the one” yet.

/…I see./

/Well, do what you want, son. I’ll support your decision. Knowing you, you must have really loved your crush. Go get her son!/

Weiss corrected, “Father, I already got her and even reached the home base. So no matter what, I won’t agree with the engagement.”

Hearing Weiss admit it, Victor was stunned again but after remembering his son’s appearance as well as excellence, Victor believed that it was normal.

/As expected of my son! You have really inherited my genes and excellence!/

/Since you already have a lover, then I won’t interfere with your affairs anymore. If you want, you can succeed me in the Albus Conglomerate./

/As for your engagement with Ivy, you have my support in rejecting the engagement proposed by the emperor./
