Chapter 194 - Your Boy Ain't No Simp
Frey had given Rudra one wish. Any wish that he wanted .... Rudra only had to ask . He could have asked for the legendary item Flames of Truth. Or some other extremely precious Elven treasue.
Rudra knew what he wanted to ask for , he badly wanted to ask for the princesses hand in marriage. And the AI had made it soo that if he asked for it he would be engaged to her with a quest to marry her.
However at the moment where he was to actually ask for her hand in marriage , Rudra hesitated. His mind was clouded and his heart felt heavy , it was not the elation he was expecting to experience. He felt like asking for the hand of the princess was infinitely more difficult than he initially imagined , like it went against his core principles itself.
He looked at Karna at that moment , who was smiling and supportive of Rudra. It was at that moment that Rudra realized what he was missing. It was his amazing guild. His only desire in this life was to give his parents a good life. Send little Max to a good school and cure his mother of her illness.
He also had a desire to humiliate those who humiliated him , Nitin Advani was not a threat to him anymore , he was safely living in the upside with Ethan Grey as his partner and brother.
The only mission that was left to complete was becoming the Strongest Guild master and make his guild the True Elites the best damn guild on the planet.
A flood of memories of his struggles came in his mind , the wars , the dungeon runs , the celebrations , the tension. The guild members revered him as a leader. His authority was unquestionable in the guild.
How could he selfishly put his own interest before the guilds? Is this really him?
Rudra looked at Princess Ruby at that moment , she was looking at him with puppy eyes , apparently gratified that he saved her life.
Ruby had a swarm of emotions ongoing inside her , the Oracle had actually helped her , he had helped the entire Elven Kingdom , her own brother would have killed her without his help. He was her knight in shining armour. The Slash he did using the Elven sword , was soo strong it made her feel like it could cut the world in half. She had never felt this way before , her heart was beating fast . When Rudra looked towards her , she did not know why , but she blushed.
Rudra saw Ruby's cute expression , and his raging emotions calmed down , he knew he liked this girl . He knew he wanted to marry her if possible. However when he weighed that against his dream and the True Elites. She lost everytime in that matchup.
For him his guild was his priority. He had to choose here ,the road to becoming the strongest guild master was not easy. But that was his dream that was his determination.
He looked at Princess Ruby again , now with cold eyes as he thought ' Sorry princess , but Guild leader Shakuni ain't no SIMP ! '.
Rudra turned his gaze over from her and towards King Frey , Frey was watching Rudra with anxiousness . Rudra could literally ask him for the priceless Elven treasures and he would be forced to comply. That was the way of the elves, they honored those who helped them.
Rudra took a deep breath as he said " Your majesty , I am a guild master of a guild in Hazelgroove kingdom , there will soon be a scuffle to decide the overlords of various villages , towns and cities. Hence , I would request your majesty to lend me a Elven archer division to aid me and my guild members for this conquest, I swear by my honor , I will not put the Elven division intentionally in harms way , and return them to you after my conquest is complete".
Frey's eyes widened in shock , of all the treasures in the Elven kingdom , the Bishop chose to request for a Elven archer division to help him in his ambitions.
Frey's evaluation of the Bishop went up by a lot , he did not take unnecessary advantage of the Elven generosity.
Frey smiled , he liked the human Bishop , it was worth building ties with him , especially since he was a Oracle too.
Frey said " The first division of archers commanded by sir Legolas ,will be lended on a 3 month loan to you . Sir Legolas will be instructed to follow your commands to the best of his abilities but he will still retain authority regarding risking the lives of the elves , since you did not overstep the limits of generosity shown by us , I king Frey will bestow upon you and your guild a entry permit into Vanaheim . Any member of your guild is welcome in the kingdom of Elves. If in future you make a teleportation formation in your city. The Elves will be open to connecting it to the teleportation formation in the marketplace". Frey declared.
Rudra's eyes widened in shock , he was not only bestowed with the best Elven division , the first division headed by Sir Legolas , but also given invaluable benefits. This was 100% worth it.
Rudra bowed in gratitude. The turmoil in his heart had calmed , he knew he made the right decision. He looked up and took one more look at the Elven princess , he sighed thinking ' Maybe some other time '. He smiled and gave her a wink . Before bowing again and taking his leave from the court.
Karna , Yume and Jhonny gave him raised eyebrows looks , but all had a smile on their face. They understood that the leader made a tough choice , but he chose the guild above everything else in the end.
Jhonny and Yume wanted to explain to Rudra , after seeing the beauty that the Elven princess was themselves that he was a man with Great taste in women , however Rudra was flooded with officials from the church .
He had to deal with the aftermath of declaring himself as the Oracle .
