How should I put the current situation... it's a bit complicated, but maybe it's just Green's wishful thinking.
All in all, the situation on-site did not develop towards the worse as imagined.
To be honest, everyone has their own selfishness, but not everyone can recognize their own selfishness. At least for now, Aloof only knows that they don't want to share Green with anyone else, but they also don't want to lose Green because of it.
When Lilith heard Aloof's words, she suddenly realized something, but when Green said that they wanted to establish a country only for themselves, she was truly surprised.
As they say, two fists are no match for four hands. Although this rule is slightly weakened in this different world, individual strength cannot surpass that of a group. Otherwise, the world would have long become the playground of the Seven Deadly Sins.
So Lilith's first reaction was that it was impossible. However, when she broke free from conventional thinking, she realized that based on her own understanding, maybe Green really could achieve it.
"Only you would dare to say such things..."
As for Green's declaration of being a scumbag, Lilith didn't think it was necessary to pay attention to it. Because she believed that the only reason Green would say such things was that Aloof wasn't outstanding enough. Otherwise, why would they be afraid of not having someone all to themselves?
For example, Lilith's mother, Elena, had once claimed Vanerg for herself with a strong attitude. Even during the time when Elena wasn't around, Vanerg never had the thought of finding a new partner.
In Lilith's eyes, it was all because her mother was too outstanding, so she wanted to learn from her mother and become a great wife herself!
As a mere princess of Falsirst, she was not worth mentioning!
However, Lilith did not inherit her mother's boldness and assertiveness. On the contrary, she leaned more towards her conservative father.
But in this matter, Lilith knew that she must not hesitate, just as her mother had said, once certain things were missed, there would never be another chance.
"It's too noisy here, let's find another place to talk."
Fulber glanced at the state of the two and the surroundings, and suggested.
Then the group of them got on the carriage summoned by Fulber and started walking towards the newly purchased residence. However, on the way, Green noticed that Aloof seemed a bit off.
"... Aloof, what's wrong with you?"
Green noticed that ever since they left the Adventurer Guild earlier, Aloof had been holding onto their hands the whole time, even in an awkward position, Aloof didn't want to let go.
Green felt that Aloof seemed a bit uneasy, but couldn't figure out why after thinking it over.
"It's... nothing..."
"Don't lie to me. People who are fine don't act like this. You fool."
"Umm..."
Being exposed by Green, Aloof pouted in a spoiled manner, then forcefully leaned against Green's body and finally put their head on Green's lap, covering their face with the hood.
From an outsider's perspective, this posture was a bit indecent.
"You won't abandon me... right?"
Green visibly hesitated. Although they couldn't see Aloof's expression, they could imagine their anxious look. This made Green feel uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I will never abandon you. If you're scared, just hold on tight to me."
"Mm..."
Just then, the carriage stopped moving, and Lilith's voice suddenly came through their ears.
"We've arrived... What are you two doing?!"
Lilith opened the carriage door and saw that the two of them were in a rather indecent position. Moreover, Green had their hand on Aloof's head and was smiling slightly.
Aloof was also startled, and hurriedly lifted their head, but accidentally bumped into Green's chin. Although Green was not seriously hurt, Aloof held their head in pain.
"Green, you're so hard, you hurt me!"
"I-I'm sorry..."
Aloof huffed in dissatisfaction, and Green could only awkwardly smile.
But this scene made even more indecent images appear in Lilith's mind.
"You two... perverts! Weirdos!"On the side, Fubu saw Lilith suddenly turning red and curious, leaned over to see what was going on. But at this moment, Aloof and Green had already returned to their normal postures and got off the carriage, leaving Fubu puzzled.
"We have arrived, this is it," said Green, looking at the grand mansion ahead, unable to help but marvel at how extravagant it was.
As soon as they landed, Aloof held onto Green's arm and gave a provocative smile to Lilith, almost making her faint from anger.
Afterwards, in a state of confusion, Fubu invited the three of them inside and curiously asked what had happened earlier. Lili could not describe it properly, so she could only recount what she had seen.
Suddenly, Fubu's old face looked puzzled.
"Perhaps it was a misunderstanding..."
Although the house Fubu bought was not as grand as Alex's mansion, it was still quite nice. Moreover, the housing prices in Farceist were not very high, and the relationship between the two countries was very friendly, so it was not difficult to find a house.
After skillfully brewing a cup of tea, Fubu sat down with the others once again.
"From what was said earlier, it seems that Mr. Green has not officially married Princess Lilith yet? It seems that the princess lacks confidence in herself," Fubu said.
Just as they had just sat down and warmed up, Fubu immediately launched an attack on Aloof without hesitation. It seemed like Aloof had also seen through his inner thoughts, as a glimmer flickered in his eyes and he held Green's hand even tighter.
"So what if he is?" Aloof retorted.
"If Mr. Green is already married to you and has become a nobleman, then that would be for the best. But if Mr. Green is still a single man, then..."
Fubu did not continue, but instead gave Lilith a meaningful look.
At this moment, Lilith recalled the scene from earlier and felt that it was time to let go of her previous shame.
"Princess, although you are the princess of this country, I will not back down on this matter! Let me tell you, Green and I were alone together in a small forest, and he even saw my body!" Lilith said.
"---Pfft!"
Green sprayed a mouthful of tea onto Fubu's face, but the latter was more surprised by Lilith's words and had no time to pay attention to this.
Green was also the same. Wasn't Lilith a girl with thin skin? Why would she say something so embarrassing on her own initiative? What had she experienced in these past few days?
What Green didn't know was how much of a crisis Lilith had felt from the scene earlier when they got off the carriage.
But Lilith blurted out those words in a moment of hot-headedness and the next second, she became completely stunned, her face turning crimson and even a faint mist could be seen around her.
Aloof was also shocked. The words came too unexpectedly.
Aloof immediately turned his gaze to Green's face, making Green panic.
What was he going to do?
Publicly execute him?
The incident in the Lard Kingdom's capital city was just an accident!
Why did they have to make it so misleading?
And the next moment, Aloof's words made Green's face even paler.
"What are you saying! Green and I have lived together for several days, we have done all sorts of things, and Green is addicted to my beauty every day, don't you know that?"
???
You two just spout lies without thinking!
This is too much!
But what Green didn't expect was that Fubu seemed to take their words seriously. For a moment, the look in his eyes towards Green turned unfriendly.
"Mr. Green, I suspect your character is questionable. Pre-marital... activities are extremely vulgar. Are you only getting close to Lady Lilith and Prince Aloof for the sake of your own desires?!" Fubu said.
"Don't make unfounded accusations!" Green shouted loudly. Fubu looked at Green's serious expression and hesitated for a moment, but then Lilith and Aloof continued to speak without any filter, saying things that dumbfounded Green.
Lilith suddenly took out a sword, a sword with alternating red and blue colors.
"Do you see this? This is the token of love that Green gave me, the Ice and Flame swords from the Three Elemental Gods. Now do you understand how important I am to Green?!""Liar, it's clearly just a sword!"
"That's because they have merged!"
"You big liar! Tsk tsk tsk~!"
"Hmph, you're just jealous of me!"
Upon seeing that Aloof hadn't produced anything, Lilies immediately had a smug look on her face. Since they had already gone so far with nonsense, there was no need to hide anymore. They could just let themselves go!
Aloof, however, couldn't come up with anything in a short amount of time.
The true token of affection between the two was, as Aloof would say, the star coin. But it was the one she gave to Green, not the one he gave to her.
This made Aloof unhappy.
She suddenly felt aggrieved and wanted to cuddle into Green's arms, but she couldn't. If she did, she would lose to Lilies and her status as the main consort would be in jeopardy.
"I don't care! Green is mine! I will never give him to you!"
Aloof decided not to reason with Lilies anymore. She made faces at her, completely lacking the dignity and grace expected of a princess. But Lilies wasn't any better.
While Lilies had been the dominant one before, now it seemed like Aloof was even more dominant. And Lilies couldn't completely let go either. Although her words were easily misunderstood, they were indeed true. Aloof, on the other hand, didn't feel any shame in saying these things, even in front of Green.
But neither of them realized that their actions couldn't make Green, the one involved, feel the same as he did when he said his "Scumbag Declaration (self-proclaimed)."
"You two, stop fighting! Didn't I say it? I want everything! Whether it's Lilies or Aloof, if you both really like me, I won't reject anyone!"
This time, Green intentionally spoke more directly, without any disguises. That was what he meant.
Even if it would likely lower other people's impression of himself or even reset their approval rating to zero, or even go to the extreme and turn it into a negative number, Green wanted to make his intentions clear.
Did Green feel scared?
Someone who feels scared—
—doesn't have the qualifications to have a harem!
Green had no fear in his heart. As he looked at the dumbfounded expressions of the two, he even felt like laughing. But Aloof lived up to her name and quickly poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"What nonsense are you babbling again, fool? Didn't I already say it? I won't let Father bestow noble status upon you! Absolutely—not!"
Looking at Aloof's insincere smile, Green felt extremely troubled.
But could Green be defeated every time?
"Hmph, I am the King of the Green Kingdom now!"
