Chapter 174 The Puppet Emperor in ABO (23)
Wen Ze said seriously: "Sure."
At least, he appears to be a beta.
"Well, beta is also fine." Jiang Zui nodded and replied: "Anyway, whether you are beta or omega, you are my partner."
Then he said, "Before his death, my father had already decided that you would be my partner. Those ministers would definitely not have any objection."
Hearing Jiang Zui's words, Wen Ze's eyes were filled with joy.
Because Jiang Zui's identity was exposed by Nord, Wen Ze did not let Jiang Zui return to school.
The ministers were all aware of this, but no one objected.
The matter was settled.
Until the day Dryden held his birthday party.
Since Jiang Zui had little interaction with ministers before he became emperor, and went to the First Military Academy after he succeeded the emperor, many ministers had high expectations of Jiang Zui.
Once the news that Jiang Zui would attend Dryden's birthday party was revealed, it was discussed by the upper class. Many children from ministers' families wanted to take advantage of this birthday dinner to catch a glimpse of the new emperor.
Some ministers even wanted to recommend the Omegas in their families to Jiang Zui in order to achieve the effect of marriage.
Wen Ze arrived at the birthday dinner in the emperor's exclusive hovercraft. Wen Ze got off first, and Jiang Zui got off last. The two walked into the banquet hall shoulder to shoulder.
Jiang Zui and Wen Ze were wearing clothes of the same color with very similar patterns. Coupled with their smiling faces, they instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
Dryden's face was full of smiles. He quickly came forward, saluted to Jiang Zui and Wen Ze, and greeted them with a smile: "Your Majesty, Marshal, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar."
Dryden's tone was somewhat deep, and he continued, "Your Majesty, Marshal, please come in, please come in."
Nord followed behind Dryden. Nord was very unhappy when he saw his father groveling before Jiang Zui. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he thought to himself: Jiang Zui, today I want to witness your downfall with my own eyes.
When the other guests saw Dryden and his son greeting Jiang Zui with a smile, they knew Jiang Zui's identity, and some ministers also came forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty, I am Pickle."
"Your Majesty, I am Alan."
"I'm Corey."
"I'm Bata."
......
So many ministers rushed forward that Jiang Zui was unable to react for a moment. He didn't know how to defend himself, and looked at Wen Ze for help with pitiful eyes.
Seeing this, Wen Ze looked serious, and said in a loud voice with a hint of coldness: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it later. Can Your Majesty sit down first?"
"can!"
"of course can."
"Very well."
"Your Majesty, please take a seat first."
"Sit first."
The father and son, Dryden and Nord, looked at Jiang Zui being surrounded by the crowd, and their eyes met for a moment, seeing inexplicable meaning in each other's eyes.
Seeing Nord’s discontented look, Dryden coughed and reprimanded him in a low voice: “Control your expression.”
"Yes, father."
After everyone was present, Dryden went on stage and said a few words, then invited Jiang Zui to go on stage to speak. Jiang Zui didn't want to attract so much attention, but he declined several times, but he couldn't refuse, so he went on stage.
"Everyone, today is Duke Dryden's 145th birthday. Let's raise our glasses and wish Duke Dryden a happy birthday."
As soon as Jiang Zui's words came out, everyone present raised their glasses to congratulate Dryden.
Dryden didn't expect Jiang Zui to be so popular and everyone was so obedient to Jiang Zui. He felt a little uneasy for some reason, fearing that his and Nord's plans tonight would be interrupted.
After Jiang Zui finished speaking, he stepped down from the stage and sat back in his seat.
As soon as I sat down, Corey led a sweet-looking Omega over.
Corey introduced, "Your Majesty, this is my granddaughter, Chris. She is 22 years old and an A-level Omega."
Chris, who was next to Corey, listened to her grandfather "recommending" her. Her ears suddenly turned red, and her face was filled with helplessness and nervousness. She pursed her lips and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Wen Ze raised his eyebrows at Jiang Zui, with a look of anticipation for a good show in his eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Zui thought to himself: I just wanted to watch his show!
I don’t even know how to help him.
Jiang Zui said to Chris calmly: "Hello."
Hearing Jiang Zui's words, Chris replied instantly: "You...you too, Your Majesty."
Chris' tone was filled with fear and timidity.
Chris is the illegitimate daughter of the Corey family. She is not welcome in the Corey family and has always been living under the care of others.
If it weren't for the fact that she was the only Omega in the Corey family who was of similar age to Jiang Zui, and the other Omegas were not of suitable age, it would not have been Chris' turn this time.
And Chris didn't want to have anything to do with His Majesty, and it was Corey who forced her to come this time.
Upon seeing this, Corey smiled incongruously and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, Chris has a good personality and is pretty good looking. Why don't you take her..." into the palace.
Before he could finish the next two words, Jiang Zui interrupted him and said, "Minister Corey, Chris is great, but I already have a partner."
After the word "partner" was mentioned, everyone looked at Jiang Zui in surprise.
Even Wen Ze, who was sitting next to Jiang Zui, was staring at Jiang Zui with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
Wen Ze didn't expect Jiang Zui to say in front of so many people that he already had a partner.
A trace of confusion flashed across Corey's face, but it quickly disappeared. He pretended to be calm and asked, "Partner?! When did Your Majesty get a partner?!"
"Could it be... the thing that happened on the Internet last time?!"
"I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect His Majesty really has a partner."
"Your Majesty was able to reject Minister Corey's proposal for marriage. I guess he really likes his Omega."
"I really want to meet the Omega that His Majesty likes."
......
People around started talking about it.
As Wen Ze listened to others talking, he suddenly felt a little shy.
This...this is too shameful.
ahhh-
Jiang Zui replied expressionlessly: "My father had already chosen the future queen before he passed away."
When Dryden heard Jiang Zui's words, he frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder which Omega this is?"
Jiang Zui raised his lips slightly, turned his head and looked at Wen Ze beside him, his eyes full of love, and said gently: "The partner chosen by my father for me is Marshal Wen Ze."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was confused for a moment!
This...the late emperor actually let Your Majesty marry Marshal Wen Ze? !
This...isn't this a bit too much?!
Marshal Wen Ze is a beta.
Moreover, Marshal Wen Ze is seven years older than Your Majesty.
But Dryden's thoughts were different from others. He thought that the late emperor was on guard against him.
If Jiang Zui marries Wen Ze, then they will be tied together. What role does he have in this empire? !
No, he couldn't let these two be together.
With this in mind, Dryden came up with a plan.
Jiang Zui is an alpha, and any alpha needs the pheromones of an Omega.
And he believed that once Jiang Zui had another Omega, Wen Ze would definitely not be able to tolerate his partner and another Omega, and their relationship would end there.
Just in case, he had to make preparations for both scenarios.
Dryden glanced furtively at Nord.
His own son is handsome, high-level, and such an excellent alpha. He doesn’t believe that Wen Ze will not like him.
No matter what, Wen Ze is still a beta, and the best choice for a beta, other than being with betas, is to be an alpha.
Because Omegas will get stuck in their own passion phase, and no alpha will die.
