Reborn in the StarCraft, I was adopted by the Emperor's uncle

"why me?"

The cub looked at them seriously and said, "I like Lan Yan very much, but if Lan Yan really wants to get married, I shouldn't be the best candidate."

The Mermaid King is the king of the entire sea clan after all. If he marries her, the two of them will be separated for the rest of the year, not to mention the various interests involved between them.

If the Mermaid King marries her, the first thing he will have to face is that the entire mermaid race will be involved in factional struggles at the political level of the empire. The mermaid race will lose its natural neutral label and will no longer be as peaceful as before.

The second is that the Mermaid King must accept that there are other males around her, and the forces behind her will naturally form an alliance with the forces behind other males.

And this is what the saying goes, when one prospers, all prosper, when one suffers, all suffer.

Then the last point, although it is still too early, if you really want to consider a marriage, this issue must be made clear before the marriage.

Because both sides need an heir, in case they only have one child.

Should she (him) be the crown prince or the prince (daughter)?

His Majesty the Emperor must have meant that Wen Chang's cubs' first external identity should be members of the royal family. The cubs must have lived with their mothers since they were young. Isn't it the same whether Lan Yan is married or not? (The two of them live in different places and the cubs are not around, so it's the same whether she is married or not.)

"As your Highness said, if it is just a simple marriage between the royal family and the mermaids to ensure that the relationship between the sea tribe and the land beast tribe is not broken, then this marriage is indeed not the turn of your Highness and the king."

After all, this kind of marriage is just to send a signal to the outside world: a signal that the sea people and the land beasts are still living in harmony.

However, regarding her marriage with Lan Yan, the Great Elder told Wen Chang that it involved the integration of the sea tribe and the land beast tribe armies.

Because of the different living environments and racial habits of the sea tribe and the land beast tribe, since the founding of the empire, the army of the land beast tribe has been under the control of the royal family, and the army of the sea tribe has been under the control of the mermaid tribe.

Of course, after hearing this, don’t think that if this is the case, the mermaids can completely establish themselves as emperors and don’t need to give any face to the royal family.

This situation might have occurred when the empire was first established, but as time went on, the sea people, constrained by the need for a vast expanse of water in their living environment, reached an agreement with the land beasts to jointly respect the royal family as the highest ruling class of the empire.

Then the mermaids led the entire sea tribe to defend the waters within the empire's territory and became the only prince in the empire with a hereditary title.

However, at this time, the navy and the army were not ruled by the same ruler, so local unrest could easily occur.

Therefore, later on, the empire continuously issued decrees to allow intermarriage between land orcs and sea people, laying the foundation for the integration of the sea people's army and the land orcs' army.

Today, the sea tribe's army and the land beast tribe's army have begun to merge, and the imperial law clearly stipulates that there can only be one person as the supreme ruler of the army - that is, His Majesty the Emperor.

However, the law was promulgated, and the sea army's loyalty to the Mermaid King was obviously higher than their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.

"So, what the Great Elder means is that if I marry Lan Yan, the sea tribe army will be able to increase their recognition of the royal family, and it will be easier for my uncle to control the sea tribe, right?"

"Yes, the king is right. Your Highness is very smart!"

Especially when it comes to politics, she has a keen sense of smell.

If he grows up a little more, he might become another troublesome person in the political arena.

Just like that old fox Joels.

The Great Elder silently considered the great achievements Joels had made after he came to the mermaid tribe, and he had already made a decision in his mind.

Well, when Joels really brings the little prince out, the mermaid tribe will probably have to find a more capable diplomat, otherwise the sea tribe’s private affairs will be brought up again and cause turmoil in the entire sea tribe.

Hearing this, Wen Chang subconsciously looked at Lan Yan. In the previous conversation, he didn't say anything else except occasionally adding the impact of the intermarriage between the sea tribe and the land beast tribe on the integration of the navy and the army.

As if noticing her gaze, Lan Yan smiled softly, "Little Prince, what are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering, Lan Yan, why did you agree?"

Wen Shang said, "My uncle said a long time ago that I will not have only one fiancé in the future."

"so what?"

The smile on Lan Yan's face grew larger. Of course, if you ignore his suddenly dangerous look, no one would be able to notice that he was suddenly unhappy.

"I heard that mermaids are very possessive of their mates."

So, after their marriage, Lan Yan could really endure it.

Wen Shang said this not to embarrass them on purpose, but she hoped that Lan Yan and the mermaids had really considered the marriage, so these issues had to be thought through in advance.

She doesn't want what happened to her mother to happen to her again, and she won't endure it like her mother did.

Wen Chang felt a chill in her heart when she thought of the things she had asked Ron to secretly find out.

When those families wanted to break off the engagement with her mother, it was just a few years after her grandmother's death. Her great-uncle had to go to the border to lead the army to resist the insect tide, and her great-grandmother was also busy dealing with many foreign countries in order to find alliances for the empire.

How old was her mother at the time, fifteen or sixteen? She had to endure so much malice towards her alone in the imperial capital.

The idiots in the royal family have been caught, but the ones outside...

Wen Shang's heart was in turmoil, but after hearing Lan Yan's voice, she quickly suppressed some of her dark thoughts.

“Mermaids do desire to have their partners all to themselves forever, but your highness, you must understand the principle of ‘one must govern his position’.

Even if my marriage with you doesn't work out this time, there will always be someone else in the future. So, my dear, no matter what you think, you just need to do what you want now."

Lan Yan closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Actually, I also know that the little prince likes me, but it's just because I'm pretty and he's attracted to my tail..."

In an instant, the eyes of the Great Elder and Bonn looked at Wen Chang with a little more subtlety. Wen Chang: ...

Could it be possible that I could see through your body and fall in love with your soul?

Wen Chang was silent for a while, then said, "Not really, Lan Yan is actually a very nice person."

Lan Yan smiled and said, "What do you think of marrying me, little prince?"

Wen Chang thought about it carefully, but still didn't give a definite answer. "I don't know. I haven't thought about this before. I have to ask my uncle and great-grandmother first."

At least because of the attitudes of her uncle and great-grandmother, she never thought of marrying Lan Yan.

Moreover, one can only judge a person by his appearance, not his heart. She should at least find out more about him before considering the marriage.

"...Okay, then we will wait for good news from the little prince."

Seeing that she was not very opposed to him, a smile flashed in Lan Yan's eyes. He was not in a hurry to urge her, and they all logged off quickly.
