The ultimate husband

Darryl said that from the bottom of his heart.

Darryl had been desperate; he even made preparations to evacuate the Royal City and gave up on the South Cloud

World and the Empress and Quincy. The Ghost Valley Sage’s appearance had restored the situation.

Who would not be convinced by his ability to turn the tide?

Suddenly, the civil and military officials and the South Cloud Army saluted in unison. “It is our pleasure to send the

Ghost Valley Sage off.” Their voice shook the sky and reverberated throughout the entire area.

Night fell after a few hours.

The South Cloud World Royal City was brightly lit, and people had gathered everywhere to celebrate the victory.

It was the most glorious day for the South Cloud World in a few hundred years; they had defeated Yang Jian and

forced the North Moana Army to retreat.

There was a lively celebration in the Firmament Hall in the palace.

The Firmament Hall was where the Empress handled political affairs and met foreign envoys. It was exquisitely and

elegantly designed with a majestic look. However, it was also a very solemn place. The Empress had set up a

banquet to reward Darryl and the generals to celebrate their victory.

The Firmament Hall had been filled with banquet seats. The civil and military officials sat in full uniform as they

saluted to the Empress, who was on the dragon throne. The atmosphere was cheerful and joyful.

Quincy, who always looked cold, was beaming.

Their victorious battle that day was a beautiful win. Everyone was happy.

Darryl put on an elegant white robe and sat on the seat that had been reserved for him. He sat there quietly as he

looked out of place; he was quite different from the lively celebrations around him.

Darryl was still thinking about Ambrose.

The civil and military officials knew that Darryl had something on his mind. Even though they wanted to toast him

with a glass of wine, they dared not interrupt Darryl when they realized that he was upset.

“Darryl!”

The Empress raised her wine glass slowly and smiled at Darryl. “You’ve helped us to repel the North Moana Army.

Come, let me toast to you.”

The Empress knew Darryl was troubled by his son’s affairs, so she wanted him to have a few drinks to get him

drunk and relieve his sorrow.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Darryl smiled as he raised his glass and drank the wine in one fell swoop.

Since the Empress had started it, the civil and military officials made their way to toast to Darryl one after another.

They were respectful to Darryl.

They had looked down upon Darryl when he had lost his throne in Westrington. However, they were greatly

impressed by Darryl’s ability when he had led the South Cloud Army in defending their land against Yang Jian’s

invasion in the past few days. They were astounded by Darryl’s performance. He had driven the North Moana Army

away and convinced the civil and military officials with his great ability.

Darryl did not refuse their toast. He emptied his glass every time they filled it. After a while, he got a little drunk,

and that had helped to put his troubles aside temporarily.

“Your Majesty!”

Stanley stood up. He was a little tipsy when he said to the Empress, “Your Majesty, the Prince Consort is very

capable. He helped us to defeat the North Moana Army today. We admire such peerless talent! He is a perfect

match with Her Highness. May I suggest setting their wedding date today at this banquet? Let’s make it a double

celebration!”

Stanley, a First-grade Official, was also a prominent figure in the South Cloud World’s literary circle.

Stanley had lost miserably to Darryl when they competed in a poem competition many years ago. He was

overwhelmed with emotions before he passed out on the spot. Later, he recalled Darryl’s poems carefully, and he

was convinced that Darryl had deserved the win. Then, he had seen Darryl’s talent in leadership; he admired the

man’s prowess in the military affair.

The ministers around Stanley agreed.

“Yes, yes! The Princess and the Prince Consort is a match made in heaven. They should get married soon.”

“Yes. What a great blessing to the South Cloud World to have such a talented Prince Consort!”

“I agree…”

Everyone respected and complemented Darryl.

Even though Darryl was a Prince Consort, it was still a fictitious title if he had not married Quincy officially.

Therefore, Yang Jian dared not attack the South Cloud World for the time being because of Darryl’s presence.

However, if Darryl and Quincy had no relationship, then Yang Jian might not hesitate to attack the South Cloud

World again.

Darryl sat leisurely. He smiled without saying a word.

He was a smart man. How could he possibly not know the intention of those civil and military officials? Their

proposal for the marriage was secondary; their primary purpose was to use him to scare North Moana.

However, Darryl could not be bothered.

After all, they had been engaged for a long time. It was a matter of time before they got married.

Quincy shuddered as she blushed.

Quincy felt uncomfortable; the officials usually treated her with respect, but they had discussed her marriage to

Darryl to flatter the man. She thought that was embarrassing and annoying.
