Harald's words not only startled Kenji but also shocked the Giant warriors following behind him.
"The King is personally intervening in a marriage?"
"Strange, King Harald never used to meddle in such matters, did he?"
"Hey! You know our King, besides fighting, does he ever get interested in anything else?"
"Hmm, hard to say...":
The Giants whispered amongst themselves, but no matter how much they lowered their voices, they were still Giants, and their voices didn't get much quieter.
This discussion left Kenji feeling speechless and puzzled once again.
"What the hell is this 'muscle-bound' guy up to?"
Kenji looked up at the King of Elbaph opposite him, whose muscles were particularly prominent, and a look of suspicion appeared in his eyes.
"Talking about introducing a fiancée...he wouldn't be trying to get Marine resources by tying me with marriage, would he?"
"Heh, if that's the case, then he's really overthinking it..."
"Besides, doesn't he only have two sons? Did he ever have a daughter?"
Although Kenji was single, he didn't want to get married.
Are you kidding? A free life is so great, why would I get married and restrict myself? The main point is...to be heartless.
While thinking this, Kenji suddenly noticed Harald's opening address.
"Young man?"
It was a long-lost address. The last time he heard it was a long, long time ago...
However, coming from a Giant, it didn't feel too out of place.
After all, Giants live three times longer than humans, so at 66 years old, in Giant years, isn't he still a young man?!
"Such an address, even among the Giants, is usually only said to their own kind."
Seeing a small detail, Kenji sensed something about the other party's attitude.
For example, was this King of the Giants treating him, a human, as one of his own?
"As a King, Harald wouldn't confuse human and Giant lifespans."
"Now he's actively seeking marriage, a human..."
"It really seems like he intends to treat me as one of his own kind."
Given the size difference between ordinary humans and a Giant, most people wouldn't have such thoughts.
Of course, if it truly happened, it would indeed be considered 'the strongest.'
But no matter how Kenji looked at it, he didn't think Harald was among those who would be willing to facilitate human and Giant reproduction.
This King valued his Ancient Giant Bloodline greatly, and his chosen prince, Loki, had also awakened the Ancient Giant Bloodline.
And considering the Bloodline, Kenji's thoughts gradually became clear.
"Hmm, probably because of my height...he's treating me as one of his own, right?" Kenji looked down at his ten-meter-tall body and nodded secretly.
"Although I can indeed be considered a Giant now..."
However, Kenji still had doubts about Harald's true intentions.
The King of the 'World's Strongest Kingdom' personally introducing a wife to an Admiral from the outside world?
"He wouldn't be trying to win me over with a marriage alliance, would he? No way, no way..."
Kenji felt that a King, no matter what, wouldn't be so shallow in his considerations.
And in fact, the other party was not that shallow.
He not only wanted him, but also wanted to keep his bloodline.
"I say..."
Harald watched eagerly from across, but Kenji felt no psychological pressure at all, crossing his arms and meeting his gaze, asking.
"No need to beat around the bush, what exactly do you want to say? Just say it directly!"
"Hahaha!" Harald laughed happily when he saw that Kenji didn't directly refuse.
"I heard that you are a Giant, and you don't have a wife, so...":
"Heard I'm of the Giant race? Who told you?" Kenji rolled his eyes, knowing that his words were all guesses and assumptions.
This was also a subtle test. If Kenji didn't deny it, it would be considered an implicit agreement.
"Alright, if it's just about introducing a partner, then there's no need." Kenji raised his hand to interrupt.
Actually, he still had a sentence he didn't say: If I want a Giant partner, I'll find one myself.
However, Harald obviously misunderstood his meaning and nodded upon hearing it.
"Do you want to establish a career first? Indeed, young men of our Giant race should have a spirit of continuous struggle and upward mobility."
"So...this time is just to introduce a fiancée candidate to you. If you are willing, you can get engaged first."
Upon hearing this, Kenji couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Good heavens, you're setting me up, aren't you? Even an engagement is coming..."
Later, are you planning to take the opportunity to extort money from me? Like an engagement judgment?
Although he thought this, Kenji only found it amusing at the moment, adopting a 'watching the show' mentality.
Because this world is a world where power belongs to oneself!
Before the other party could use methods like marriage contracts to threaten him for money, they would have to ask Kenji's fist first.
Strength was his confidence, so at this moment, he actually became a little interested, planning to see what else Harald could come up with next.
"Given my age, can I find a suitable partner in Elbaph?" Kenji asked, crossing his arms, his expression a half-smile, with a double meaning.
"Hmm, 66 years old...it seems there really isn't anyone close to that age in the country..." Harald frowned in thought, muttering to himself.
"There are girls in their forties and fifties, and even seventies, but sixties...":
His slightly thoughtful muttering confirmed to Kenji that this thick-browed, big-eyed King of Elbaph had already regarded him as one of his own kind.
If he were a human, sixty-six years old would already be considered old age, which would correspond to over two hundred years old for the Giant race.
While Harald was deep in thought, the high-ranking Elbaph Giants behind him exchanged glances.
They made several gestures as if to speak, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, they held their thoughts back.
A moment later, Harald looked up and suggested with some difficulty, "How about we go see her in person first before making a decision?"
Saying that, he took the initiative to lead the way.
Kenji had decided to watch the show to the end, so he followed behind.
The other high-ranking Elbaph Giants present were left by Harald at the palace. He only brought Loki and didn't even bring any guards.
The three of them quickly arrived at the training ground near the Adam Tree.
Because most of Elbaph's young people gathered here, the Giants in the village and palace were basically adults over a hundred years old.
Kenji and the others stopped at the edge of the training ground.
At this time, shouts came from the training ground. A group of half-grown Giants were conducting their daily training, while another group of Giant boys and girls stood not far away, waiting for training tests.
It might have been similar to a high school mock exam, or perhaps a major exam.
In any case, that group of Giant boys and girls looked very uncomfortable, as if they were preparing for an execution.
"Hmm, what do you think of her? Lippuli."
