"What? What did you say?"

With a look of "Are you crazy?" on his face, Green made Tia feel very uncomfortable.

But Tia also understood that her words were indeed unreasonable, and she understood Green's surprised expression.

So Tia changed her wording.

"No, it's not about marriage... Anyway, Green, I need your help now!"

"But even if you say so..."

Green was filled with question marks in his head, and Aloof and others nearby finally came over when they heard the news.

After hearing Tia's request, the group of people looked astonished, as if they had heard something incredible, and quickly started objecting.

"What did you just say? I always thought that your intentions as a princess weren't right, and it seems I was right!"

Aloof launched an attack on Tia, followed by Lilith.

"That's right, you suddenly talked about getting married, and not long ago, you left without a word. Now saying such things is really nonsensical!"

"I also think so."

Mio said, and Yuzuriha nodded in agreement.

Faced with everyone's opposition, Tia became a little anxious, but soon she adjusted her mindset.

Green rubbed his head, unable to understand why Tia suddenly said such things.

If she suddenly confessed or something, he might have been able to accept it, but she just blurted out the words "marry" and "faint," which Green couldn't bear. It was too exciting and unreasonable.

"I'm telling you, if you have something to say, you can say it slowly. There's no need to do this."

"But... I really need your help now! Whether it's marriage or pretending, please help me! I just need to get through this period!"

"Well... what exactly happened? Why don't we go inside and talk?"

The group gathered in the hall and sat around the table.

Tia briefly explained the conditions given by Caesar to Green, in short, Caesar had now given up on forcibly arranging an engagement for Tia and asked her to find a suitable fiance on her own.

Tia immediately thought of Green.

And without a doubt, Green was the best candidate. The most important thing was...

Tia really had feelings for Green.

Although Green didn't show such feelings towards Tia.

"I want to get rid of my father's control. Please, help me, Green!"

"Even if you say it suddenly... if it's something I can't do, I can't do it. Are you running a fever? How could such a thing be resolved so easily?"

Green was full of helplessness. Although he was not married now, it was a decision made after careful consideration.

For Green, marriage was just a formality that wasn't necessary. The way things were now was fine.

Even if he helped Tia by pretending, Green was not willing to do that, mainly because he felt sorry for Aloof and the others.

The most important thing was that he really didn't have any feelings for Tia in that way.

Hmm... Although Tia is indeed quite cute.

But seeing Tia's pitiful appearance, Green felt like rejecting her request was like doing something terribly wrong, and he felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

"Just as long as we can fool everyone, that's enough. I really need you now! Just say you're my fiance in front of my father, that'll hold him back!"

"And then? Even if you manage to fool everyone like that, it's only temporary, right? What will you do afterwards?"

Green leaned his chin on his hand and said helplessly.

But when Tia heard Green's question, her face suddenly turned red, and she looked at Green with a shy expression in her words.

"Just... just as long as I... conquer... conquer you, it'll be fine..."

"..."

Green suddenly had the feeling that he was being treated as the protagonist of a dating game.

And to talk about conquering right in front of him, should I say that Tia's brain isn't working properly, or that she's straightforward?

However, if you think about it carefully, there really isn't anything important to do lately, or at any other time for that matter. Plus, Tia begged so desperately, so if it's just temporarily pretending to be with Caesar... there shouldn't be any big problem, right?

But in the end, I still need to consult with Aloof and the others.

"I don't really mind, but Aloof will definitely be jealous. Can you handle them?"

Green smiled faintly, and Aloof seemed to play along, raising a little fist at Tia.

"Even if it's fake, you're not allowed to treat Green as a mere tool!"

Seeing this, Tia felt unwilling in her heart, but she couldn't give up just like that. After all, the only person she could think of who could not only gain her father's approval but also had feelings for her was Green.

After struggling in her heart for a while, Tia suddenly became determined.

"Alright, I will convince Aloof and the others!"

"Oh my..."

Seeing Tia's determined attitude, Green sighed and left the room. He didn't have much interest in what Tia would do next, as he didn't believe she could convince Aloof and the others.

There's no way she can convince them...

How could she make her beloved person do something that others use to deceive people?

Even if he knows it's fake, it still feels uncomfortable in his heart.

However, shortly after, Green realized that he was wrong, very wrong, unbelievably wrong.

Just half an hour later, Green saw Tia coming out of the meeting room with a proud expression on her face. Not only that, but Aloof and the others behind her also had smiles on their faces.

Tia walked proudly to Green's side.

"Sorry for the sudden request earlier, but all I need is for you to help me deceive my father. Aloof and the others agreed too!"

"Uh..."

Green looked at Aloof and the others with a dumbfounded expression and found faint smiles on their faces. He didn't know what they were thinking.

At this moment, Green was also curious about what Tia had given them to be able to persuade Aloof and the others.

"Well, even if that's the case, I'll help you. But remember, it's just pretending, so don't take it too far."

Honestly, Green didn't dislike Tia, but he wouldn't scatter his love everywhere.

Since the other party only wanted simple help, there shouldn't be too many problems in giving her a little assistance. Just consider it a good deed.

"By the way, how did you manage to win over Aloof and the others?"

"Hehe, that's a secret between girls!"

"If you don't want to say, that's fine..."

Green didn't dwell too much on it. Since Aloof and the others didn't have any objections, it wasn't a problem to help Tia a bit. As for what Tia would do afterwards and how she planned to capture his heart, that was another matter.

Tia's actions were quick. After reaching an agreement with Green, she planned how to explain the situation to Caesar when they arrived in the Caesar Empire, and she even prepared the lines in advance.

However, right before they set off, Tia suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, Green-sensei, I remember with your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for you to teleport from Farcist to the Caesar Empire, right?"

"Indeed."

Green nodded, then said, "By the way, why have you been calling me Sensei since earlier? Isn't it a bit strange? Just call me Green."

"Why? Don't you like being called Sensei?"

"Because I used to be a student with school phobia..."

Green couldn't help but think back to his childhood days, where he barely had a childhood. When he was young, he did attend school, but he strongly disliked the school environment, and as a result, he didn't really like the term "teacher" either.

"What's school phobia?"

"It's nothing, you can understand it as... a naughty kid who doesn't like studying? I just don't really like being called Sensei."

Most of Green's moves were researched by himself, so he wasn't interested in formal schools at all, and it could even be said that he was inherently incompatible.

After listening to Green's explanation, Tia nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Green glanced around the environment, then casually selected a huge rock and used his hand as a knife to cleanly cut the rock into a large slab.

"Although I can carry you directly and fly over, it's not very comfortable that way. Come, stand on this."

Green walked onto the slab, and Tia curiously followed suit.

Then, Green activated the source energy within his body and enveloped the surface of the slab with a faint energy. He then activated the source energy attached to the slab again, causing the slab to slowly rise from the ground. After reaching a certain height, it shot out at an extremely fast speed, heading towards the Caesar Empire.

"So fast!"

Tia exclaimed softly.

Under the immense wind pressure, although it was a bit unstable, with the assistance of source energy, Tia wouldn't fall down. At first, she just needed some time to adjust, but she soon was able to stand steadily even at such high speeds.

Looking downward, all objects in her field of vision were moving rapidly backwards, and nothing could be clearly seen at such high speeds unless she looked into the distance.

"How long until we reach the Caesar Empire?"

"Well, probably about five minutes."

Meanwhile, in the Caesar Empire.

In Caesar's private training ground.

Caesar hesitated for a while before making the decision to allow Tia to make her own choice. He had always hoped to find a strong husband for Tia, but she stubbornly resisted.

Being too forceful, Caesar understood that it was not a good approach.

But that was just his character. He couldn't treat his daughter as gently as her mother did.

"I hope she can find a powerful suitor."

While Caesar was murmuring to himself like this, he suddenly sensed something and looked towards the distant sky.

At first, he could only vaguely see a black dot, but as time passed, the dot grew larger and in just a few seconds, it expanded many times over until it was large enough to clearly make out the appearance.

"That person...?"

Because Caesar had never seen Green's true face, he didn't recognize him immediately.

Also, he couldn't sense source energy, so he felt a bit confused.

But his intuition told him that the man flying from the distant sky in his field of vision was not a simple person, and, most importantly, Tia, who had just left a few days ago, was on top of it.

"She's back so soon?"

Caesar murmured in astonishment.
