I'm the King Of Technology

"Sirs, the lucky lady and the woman in my heart..... is none other than the gorgeous Queen Penelope."

--silence-

"Hahahhahahahahhaha!

Forgive me for laughing... But aren't you aware thy Queen Penelope will be getting married this summer?"

"Of course I'm aware!

But I'm sure that my undying flaming love will change her mind almost immediately.

And don't forget sirs, my background is also one that matches hers.

We both have powerful surnames and bloodlines... And that in itself gives me a powerful advantage in my quest for love." Skye said confidently.

"Oh?

Then what about her fiance?"

"You mean the chubby Benjamin Hamilton guy?

He is nothing more than a common merchant who goes about trading from one place to another.

Tch!

With a man like that, how would my precious Penelope comfortably rule her kingdom?

I even heard that he isn't very skilled in the ways of the sword.

So how is he supposed to properly protect her and the people?

No!

Such a goddess needs to be with someone who can guarantee the safety of her and her people.

So she needs someone like me.

Let's face it... With my connections, I will be able to take Carona to the next level alongside Penelope.

Additionally, the benefits from being associated with Veinitta alone is something that many other empires dream of.

So compared with the merchant named Benjamin... Isn't it very obvious who she will choose?

Even in terms of manliness and handsomeness, I'm still far superior to him.

So unless she's been bewitched, there's no way that she will pick him over me.

With all that said, I'm very confident that queen Penelope would be my woman in the end."

Listening to Skye, the leader grinned broadly.

"Hmm... All that you've said is indeed true.

But without her fiance, Benjamin Hamilton..... We wouldn't have been able to establish any treaty with Baymard.

And the people wouldn't have been able to get enough food, warm clothing and so many benefits as well.

Heck!

Even the Bay-Carona transport routes wouldn't have been established as well.

So you see, he too as a good head on his shoulder when trying to aid Carona." The leader said lazily.

Everyone who heard the conversation between both parties couldn't help but agree as well.

After all, it would be too heartless for them to dismiss Benjamin Hamilton after all that he had done for Carona.

For them, status wasn't everything.

All they needed, was someone who would take care of them as people.

And that was it.

Skye clenched his fists while listening to the leader.

Who's side was the guy on?

One moment he was laughing with him and praising him for his background.... and another moment he was indirectly making things hard on him.

So he didn't know if the dude was a friend or a foe.

Nonetheless, he decided to probe on the matter even further.

"That's true!

Her fiance has truly done a lot for Carona, and that's why I've decided to compensate him... before my darling Penelope gives him a letter of rest.

And isn't it just a treaty?

I don't doubt in my mind that I would've been able to sign an even better treaty with those Baymardians if it were me."

"Hahahahahahahahaha!

I really like your confidence.

It's truly one in a million.

Alright, I've decided!

I will only help you if and only if the Queen herself requests for it.

In other words, if she undoubtedly falls in love with you... Then I don't see any reason not to help you.

But if she doesn't, then too bad!

There's nothing I or my men can do for you.

We are loyal to neither you nor her fiance.

We are only loyal to Queen Penelope.

So whatever she wants, is what she will get!

Anyway, we best be on our way since we are already behind schedule as it is.

Oh!..... And if you are the one that she chooses, we will appear on the scene to aid you no matter what.

So lover boy, do you best!!"

With that said, the hooded men all turned around and headed towards Pigot City steadily.

.

"My lord... How can you keep calm?" One of the hooded men asked.

If they were their leader, they would've killed the bastard already.

He just didn't understand how his leader could laugh, joke and smile when provoked to that extent.

To make matters worse, their leader had even promised to aid that bastard if Penelope fell in love with the dude.

And who was their leader?

Well... He was none other than Benjamin Hamilton... A.KA Santa.

He was secretly undercover on a mission to capture some notorious cult members from the Black Swan Cult.

But who would've known that he would meet his love rival instead?

For the men, Santa wasn't bothered by it all.

But the truth was far from it.

The moment he heard Skye's confession, his body trembled from rage and his mind went black for a brief second.

Penelope was his life, and he would do anything to make her happy.

So even if she ended up loving someone else, he would willingly accept it because he wanted her to be happy.

Of course after listening to all the benefits that Penelope could get if she ended up with Skye, Santa somehow didn't feel confident anymore.

His figure and his face weren't very good-looking and couldn't even compare to Skye's own.

So how could he not be down?

In short, when he thought about it deeply.... he realized that he wasn't very confident if Penelope would choose him in the end.

So he decided to prepare his mind for the worse, just in case.

Sigh... He was now heartbroken without even confirming matters with Penelope.

And so, he decided to take his sweet time and not rush back to the Capital after his mission.

He wanted to see whether he would come back to see his things get thrown out of the palace... Or if by some miracle, she would still choose him over golden boy over there.

A single drop of tears slid out of the corners of his eyes before he quickly pulled himself together.

Even if she ended up falling for another person... He would still love her till the end of time.

His love was enough for both of them, and that was all that matters.

Everyone saw how silent he was, and immediately understood their leader.

In the end, their leader was indeed sad.

But there was just nothing that they could do to lift his moody spirit.

And so, they looked for silence throughout their journey.

.

Of course, opposite from the moody atmosphere surrounding them... Back in Baymard, things were really getting heated up.

Finally, it was time for the world to welcome its first T.V ever!
