Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 470: Gathering Allies

Natasha stuck out her tongue, then left while pouting. She kept looking back as she left; it was unclear whether it was because she hadn’t seen her father for a long time, or because she didn’t want to be separated from her lover again.

When the others left, Sharky cupped his hands toward the Great Elf King and said, "Respected uncle, I wonder what you want to talk to me about."

The Great Elf King coldly said, "You have already tricked my daughter into bed, and yet you are still calling me uncle?"

Sharky was speechless. Natasha actually told her father about that?

As if seeing through his thoughts, the Great Elf King said, "Natasha shared half of her lifespan with you, and as the Elf King, I naturally know the conditions needed for that to happen. Since ancient times, not many elves have been willing to give up half of their life to use that skill. I initially thought that she must have found the most excellent young man in the entire world..." He trailed off as he inspected Sharky closely, before continuing, "But now that I look at you, you don’t seem like anything special."

Sharky was speechless.

The Great Elf King then said, "Forget it. Even though you are pretty ordinary, you are better looking than most of the other ugly bastards out there. If Natasha has already shared half her lifespan with you, you are probably not that bad. I trust my daughter’s judgment."

"Thank you, father-in-law," Sharky said, sighing in relief. I guess this issue has finally been dealt with. As expected, no matter what world it is, meeting your girlfriend’s parents isn’t an easy matter.

The Great Elf King’s eyelids twitched when he heard Sharky call him ’father-in-law’. He replied, "You have not officially wed yet. Just call me uncle for now."

Sharky was speechless. Didn’t you just complain about me calling you that?

"We can talk about you and Natasha later," the Great Elf King said, his expression suddenly turning serious. He continued, "You said you were going to support the young prince. Were you serious?"

When he saw Sharky nod, he raised his voice somewhat, continuing, "That is not a wise choice. The prince is still so young; how can he become the Fiend Emperor? Asking me to gather the entire Elf race for this cause is practically the same as asking them all to perish."

Sharky explained his most important plan, "I want to rule over the Fiend Kingdom, if I support the young prince, then only I can rule over the Fiend Kingdom. And also the Golden Crow Crown Prince and I share a grudge that can’t be resolved. If he becomes the Fiend Emperor, he’ll never let me go. Similarly, it would be unfavorable for your Elf Race."

The Great Elf King knew about the Golden Crow Crown Prince pursuing his daughter. Many people had advised him to agree to it, because it would bring tremendous glory. If Natasha became the empress, the Elf race would share in her glory and rise above the other two king races.

However, he alone knew that Natasha had already shared half of her life with another man, and that she wasn’t a virgin anymore. If she married into the royal family, it would be impossible to hide that fact. At that point, it wouldn’t be a blessing for the Elf race, but rather a disaster.

That was why he hadn’t agreed to the marriage from the start. The ’Half-Life Destiny’ was the Elf King race’s greatest secret, so he couldn’t talk about it either. The Fiend Emperor had just taken it as a challenge to his authority and found a pretext to throw him into prison.

However, even if he didn’t support the crown prince, it didn’t mean he absolutely had to support the Second Empress and her son.

But with Sharky directly explaining, that through Young Prince, he wants to rule over the Fiend Kingdom. He approved of it.

The Great Elf King’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He said, "Hm, I must indeed consider things for the Elf race. Then we will support the youngest prince."

The two of them walked out while chatting with each other joyfully. When she saw their smiles, the nervous Second Empress sighed in relief.

At the same time, she was curious as to just how the normally aloof and proud Great Elf King had ended up becoming so comfortable with Sharky.

Just how had Sharky done it? After all, this matter was of vital importance. Even if he had a close relationship with the Elf Princess, the Great Elf King wouldn’t be convinced so easily, right?

I have to properly thank Sharky afterward. He’s helped me so much.

When he emerged, the Great Elf King’s eyes landed on Alina. He exclaimed in surprise, "Hm? How extremely beautiful. Could this be the new Medusa Queen?"

Alina nodded with a smile, saying, "I greet the Great Elf King."

The Great Elf King sighed and remarked, "You really look like your mother. Your mother was one of the very few whom I felt was as beautiful as myself."

The others present were speechless.

Natasha was stupefied. Was my dad also a pursuer of Alina’s mother?

Ah, that’s so freaking embarrassing!

Fortunately, the Great Elf King quickly recovered from his daze and said to the Second Empress, "I plan to sort things out back in the clan first. That will take a bit of time. Try to see if you can rope in some more forces. Our two clans alone might not be enough to affect the current Fiend King Court’s situation."

"Thank you, Great Elf King!" the Second Empress replied with a nod. Inwardly, however, she felt quite hard-pressed. Who could she even rope in now?

Her eyes shifted to Sharky. When she saw his confident appearance, her anxious heart gradually calmed a bit.

"Natasha, follow dad back. Dad needs your help." the Great Elf King said, waving toward Natasha. He had been locked in the Imperial Prison for so long and didn’t know the recent developments in the clan. He needed his daughter by his side.

Natasha was a bit unwilling to separate from her lover, but she knew how important the situation was. She could only reluctantly follow her father.

After they exited through the Imperial Prison’s gate, the Great Elf King was stunned to see Charlotte and Diana. He exclaimed, "Huh? The human race actually had beauties comparable to us Elves? Natasha, are you not embarrassed?"

Natasha was stunned, asking, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Elves were a bit more beautiful than other races to begin with, and you had the world’s most handsome man as your father, and yet your appearance is only on par with them. This really does leave your father a bit ashamed!" the Great Elf King remarked in dissatisfaction.

When she saw Charlotte and Diana look at him as if they were looking at someone with mental deficiencies, Natasha covered her face. She really wanted to say ’I don’t know this man!’ 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

After the Great Elf King left with Natasha, Sharky’s group separated into two. Charlotte and Diana stayed behind to monitor Ingim and Leander, while Sharky headed to Golden Peng Manor with the Second Empress and Alina.

The Peacock Wise King’s daughter Talia had become the Crown Princess, so they were naturally allied with the Crown Prince. He couldn’t really ask for their help.

However, the death of the Little Golden Peng King’s father had a high chance of being related to the Fiend Emperor. Their faction definitely carried some resentment toward the crown prince, so there was a chance of roping them in.

Along the way, Sharky carried the young prince. The young prince was a bit uncomfortable with calling a stranger his adoptive father at first and didn’t let Sharky carry him at all, but after a while, he felt that Sharky wasn’t all that scary, and he was pretty good-looking.

With the Second Empress’ encouragement, he reluctantly accepted Sharky. Because he had been scared badly the entire night, he unknowingly fell asleep in Sharky’s broad and sturdy arms.

When she saw her son’s sleeping face pressed up against Sharky’s shoulder, the Second Empress felt warm inside. Normally, my son isn’t close to anyone but me; I didn’t expect him to be so close to Sharky already. Most importantly, Sharky is treating him well too, and doesn’t seem impatient at all. Is this heaven’s will?

Alina was a bit jealous when she saw that. She thought, Sharky seems to like this child quite a bit. I should give birth to a child for him too.

Her face began to heat up when she thought about their intimate relationship. However, she quickly realized that with Medusa’s bloodline, she could only give birth to a daughter.

She wouldn’t necessarily be able to give him a son... She couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret when she thought of that.

The group quickly arrived at Golden Peng Manor. Upon seeing the Second Empress, the guard stationed outside was shocked and moved.

When he learned that she wanted to meet the Little Golden Peng King, he enthusiastically rushed over to make the report, as if doing it faster would leave the Second Empress with a better impression.

Sharky couldn’t help but remark, "Your highness really is charming."

"But unfortunately, only a certain someone is can enjoy it," the Second Empress replied quietly.

Sharky knew she was telling about what had happened in the bedroom. He smiled and didn’t explain himself.

However, Alina had a strange expression. Her eyes darted between the two of them, wondering if she had missed something.

Soon afterward, the guard came back and said apologetically, "Your highness, our young master went to the city outskirts to go hunting. He is in a villa outside of the city and has not returned yet."

"He left the city to go hunting?" the Second Empress repeated, her beautiful brows furrowing.

"Yes," the guard replied. He couldn’t help but lower his head when he sensed her disappointment, as if he felt upset that he couldn’t help her with her worries.

Sharky chuckled. He stopped the Second Empress from saying anything else and pulled her away.

The guards at the gate widened their eyes when they saw that. Who is that man? Why is he pulling the Second Empress so casually like that? More importantly, it looks as if the Second Empress is used to this.

Don’t tell us he’s a palace eunuch? But he’s acting so carefree! What eunuch acts like that?

---

Sharky’s group wasn’t in the mood to attend to the guards’ thoughts.

Rhe Second Empress couldn’t help but grumble, "They’re clearly lying!"

Sharky said with a smile, "That’s true, but do you think that they would dare make up this kind of lie on their own?"

"Are you saying this was the Little Golden Peng King’s idea?" the Second Empress asked in surprise. She was intelligent too, after all.

Previously, it was only because she really wanted to rope in the Little Golden Peng King that she had overlooked that possibility.

Sharky nodded and replied, "It’s probably because the Little Golden Peng King saw the chaotic situation and guessed our intentions. He doesn’t wish to get involved in this matter, so he found an excuse to send us away."

"Things will become troublesome if he isn’t willing to join us," the Second Empress said, sounding a bit worried.

Alina said, "That might not necessarily be a bad thing. That means the Little Golden Peng King hasn’t sided with the Crown Prince or the Second Prince. Otherwise, they would have already joined the conflict and used this chance to capture us while we were alone. The fact that he chose to remain neutral in this situation is actually favorable for us."

The Second Empress’ eyes lit up. She couldn’t help but give Alina a few more looks. She had thought that the beautiful Medusa Queen was just a pretty flower vase. She hadn’t expected the woman to actually be so knowledgeable!

"What Alina says is right. Not siding with either one of them is already the biggest help. His position is special, and we aren’t all that close to him. Sticking around over there would just be a waste of time," Sharky said.

"Alina?" the Second Empress murmured to herself. When she heard the form of address Sharky used, she couldn’t help but think, That really is too intimate. The two’s affection for each other is much deeper than I thought.

Alina muttered, "It’s a pity that the Little Golden Peng King doesn’t have any sisters, or else Sharky might have had a way."

Sharky was speechless.

The Second Empress couldn’t help but smile. She knew that Alina was hinting at his relationship with the Elf Princess. At the same time, she was curious just what Sharky had done to convince so many beautiful women to stay around him.
