I Just want a Peaceful life

"Angus, I.. I mean.. we decide it is time for you to become yours completely." said Jayna while blushing.

"We??" asked Angus confusedly.

"Yes, It is me and fire phoenix. Lately, I often meet Fire Phoenix during my meditation. After a while, I realize we are actually one." explained Jayna.

"Ehh.. does it mean you are going to change?" asked Angus.

"Of course not. Some part of me may change after I truly digested all her memories. But I will always be your girl. We only recognize you as our love." said Jayna before kissing Angus.

"Well, if you said so. I guess I couldn't help it." said Angus while embracing his girlfriend.

Then, they begin to enjoy themselves until the end of the day. A few days later, A big end of the year party was held inside the royal palace. All the noble families inside the Heart Kingdom are invited to this party.

However, because of their current situation, not all of the head family could come to the party. Some of them still need to stay within the borders in case the other kingdom suddenly launches an attack.

Still, they could send a family representative to the party. By coincidence, Duke Jacob also somehow needed to be away from the capital and couldn't come to the party. Hence, Angus is pointed to as the representative of the Victory family since he is already in the capital city.

Entering the party hall, "Haa.. I really hate these kinds of parties." grumbled Angus.

Just as Angus enters the hall, he already feels a few people coming to his location trying to interact with him. With the rise of the Victory, many of the low noble want to join the Victory family faction. Some influential and wealthy people also want to get in a relationship with them.

The year-end party is pretty casual. Many nobles, influential families, and wealthy merchants in the Heart Kingdom were invited. This is also one of the places where people gather, exchange information, and build relationships.

However, Angus didn't care about all of this. If it is not because of Jayna's request, Angus probably already skipped this party and left it to his brother. Looking at the approaching people, Angus begins to move silently and blend with the crowd.

At first, some people felt like losing his figure and could find it in other places. After pursuing Angus for a while, they completely lose Angus's whereabouts. It feels like Angus disappearing and appearing all over the hall.

Sometimes he is near the drinking area. In the next moment, he is on the way to the rest area. The next moment he is sitting alone in his reserved seat. After a few minutes, most of the people give up pursuing him and begin to talk to others.

After more than three months since his second gate opening, Angus managed to take back his superb body control. Blending and hiding in the crowd silently at the party is easy for him. If he wants, he could also stay out of sight from everyone until the party ends.

However, he can't since he at least needs to show his face to these people as the representative of the Victory family. After a while, a commotion appeared from the entrance. At the entrance appears a young lady wearing a crimson red dress that shows her mature body.

Although no one is announcing her arrival, most people couldn't help but glance at her since her noble demeanor is different from the others. This young lady is the youngest child and daughter, Jayna Heart.

Looking at her stunning unworldly beauty, everyone begins to mesmerize by her arrival and immediately approaches her. As the last princess of the Heart Kingdom that is still not betrothed to anyone, every man in the hall feels like trying their luck and getting a relationship with her.

Not only could they join the imperial Heart family, but they could also get such a finest and strong woman in their family. Suddenly, a young man appeared in front of her before the other could approach her.

"May I accompany you, my princess?" asked Angus while offering his hand.

"Certainly." replied Jayna with a smile and took Angus's hand.

Seeing that Angus had already stolen their prey, the other noble couldn't help but retreat. Although some nobles are arrogant beyond measure, they will never send brain-dead people to represent their family/organization to come to this year-end party.

Hence, no one dares to seek trouble for Angus. Especially after they know some of Angus' achievements through their network. Be it his achievement as the scholar, researcher, or his recent fame as a combatant during the fight in the black fortress.

Some of the high noble even know that Angus also contributed a lot during the Temple of Death incident. They also hear rumors that Jayna, the fourth princess, is also having a deep relationship with Angus.

At first, most of the young men from the high noble feels Angus is not worthy of her. Some even said he could only get close with Jayna because of his family.

However, after Angus' recent achievement during the monster wave in the Black Fortress, most of them couldn't help but be silent.

Although only a few people know that Angus contends with the fifth-grade explosion bug, most of the soldiers still remember his feat in killing dozens of flying explosion bugs using overcharged Vulcan Shots.

At that time, the soldier was not only from the Black Fortress but from all over the nearby cities near the Black Fortress. Some of these soldiers belong to other noble families. There are also the hired adventurers that help spread the rumor to merchants and other people.

Even they didn't believe it at first, but after many rumors circulated among the people, they couldn't help but believe Angus's strength and achievement.

Angus actually didn't care about this fame and reputation. However, he is also glad since he finds fewer brain-dead people that try to disrupt his time with Jayna.

Since returning from the Endless Battlefield dimension, many young men tried to pursue Jayna and disrupt their quality time.

At that time, Angus couldn't help but beat all those imbeciles until their mother couldn't even recognize them. Some of them even tried to get revenge through their family. However, at that time, Angus only told these people if they had a problem, just told his father or his uncle.

Some of the lower and new nobles from the Count rank to below may not know the horror of Seventh-grade combatants. But, most of the high noblemen are very familiar with the power of Seventh-grade combatants as King Leon often gives them 'guidance' in his free time.

Just as Angus and Jayna walk to the center of the party hall under the envious glare of everyone, music starts playing. Some of the people begin to dance with their partners. Angus and Jayna also begin to dance together according to the music.

While dancing, they begin to embrace each other more closely and tightly. If no other people are around, they may already have their intimate time and passionately kiss each other.

"Jayna, you look lovely tonight." whispered Angus to Jayna's ear.

Hearing this, Jayna couldn't help but blush. Looking at Jayna's embarrassing face, Angus couldn't help but want to eat the princess in front of him. At this moment, a horn sound was heard from the entrance hall.

Everyone stops doing their things and looks at the entrance where a group of royal guards is coming. In the middle of the royal guard's group, King Leon with the crowned prince walk together towards the leveled platform at the end of the hall.

Looking at this, both Angus and Jayna reluctantly separate each other. Then, everyone began to sit in their respective seats. Angus sits with the other noble family that alliance with his family. At the same time, Jayna sat on the left front of King Leon beside the Crown Prince, Eric Heart.

After everyone takes their seat, no one dares to speak and waits for King Leon to speak. Although King Leon is famous for being wise, he is also famous for his ruthlessness.

There are times when a nobbles makes a sound during his speech at a special gathering. At that time, he appeared before the noble and crippled him in front of the others. Some of the rumors even said that he killed a noble because of small matters.

However, among the high nobles, they know that King Leon is a very disciplined man. He couldn't tolerate small undisciplined manners, especially at a formal event like this.

After a while, "Welcome everyone to the year-end party. As you know, recently we have had many disputes with many kingdoms nearby. The tension in the border keeps increasing each day."

I will take the opportunity this time to tell all of you. We are not afraid of going to war. No… We are expecting those scumbags and cowards to come. We are ready for them and could fight anytime. We are the Heart Kingdom!!" declared King Leon.

"We are the Heart Kingdom!!" replied everyone at once.
