On the beach of Paradise Island.
General Antiope and the Amazon warriors all fell silent, their faces filled with shock, confusion, and anger.
There was no need for much explanation. When the Amazon princess Diana placed her divine artifact, the Starlight Crown, on the head of a human man, she had already made her position clear.
"His name is Xi Nian, Xi Nian Prince." Diana said softly, as if announcing something.
"Uh, good afternoon. The weather is really nice today... Well, nice to meet you all." In order to avoid an awkward silence, Xinian, wearing a gorgeous crown, took the initiative to wave and greeted the female warriors enthusiastically.
However, no one responded to his words, and the scene became even quieter.
Xi Nian stopped waving his hand, his scalp tingling, feeling that this was really embarrassment opening the door to embarrassment -
It's so embarrassing!
"Even so, he cannot enter the main island of Paradise Island without the Queen's order." Antiope's chest heaved, he clenched his fists, and looked at Xinian with extremely cold eyes.
Xi Nian suddenly felt that this look was familiar! Well, it was very similar to the way Officer George often looked at him!
"I know. I'm going to see my mother right away." Diana nodded and said, "Antiop, could you please arrange accommodations for Xinian at the archipelago building next to the main island? He needs to stay here for a few days."
"no problem."
Faced with Diana's request, Antiope, no matter how reluctant he was, finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Xinian." Diana turned around and said softly to Xinian, "First, follow my aunt, Antiope, to the arranged residence. I will come to see you later after meeting with my mother."
"Okay, go ahead." Xi Nian agreed, thinking to himself that it was just a visit to a tourist island with poor tourism services, which was really nothing.
"Come with me." Antiope looked at him expressionlessly, turned over and rode on the black horse.
…
Far away from the royal palace and the residences of the Amazon residents, Paradise Island is located on the edge of a cliff facing the open sea.
Here stands a huge and peculiar ancient round building.
Antiope brought Xinian to the main entrance of the ancient building.
Looking at the intact building that looked like the remains of an ancient temple, Xi Nian said in surprise and doubt, "Is this a place for me to live? Actually, it doesn't have to be this nice."
Antiope, who was riding a black horse in front, ignored them and walked to the door of the ancient building. He said to the female guards in silver armor standing on both sides of the door, "Arrange a spare guard room for him."
"Yes, General!" The two female guards in front of the door quickly accepted the order. They looked at the first human boy who came here curiously, and when they saw the familiar crown on the boy's head, they immediately showed the same shocked expression as the female warrior before.
Why are you looking at me like that again?
Xi Nian was grumbling in his heart, completely not understanding the meaning of the crown on his head.
"Keep an eye on him and don't let him walk around." Antiope threw this sentence to the female guard, then left Xinian alone at the door of the ancient building and rode away on a black horse. He never looked at Xinian or spoke to him the whole time.
After Antiope left in a resolute manner.
One of the female guards said respectfully to Xi Nian, "Your Highness, please follow me in."
Your Highness?
Xi Nian was stunned for a moment, looking at the female guard walking into the ancient building, and suddenly felt that the people here were still very polite.
Xi Nian followed the female guard into the door. The further he went into the building, the more he felt something was wrong!
The inner walls of this ancient building are incredibly thick, with no doors or windows, and the only main entrance is just a crowded corridor two meters high.
Rather than being a residence, it is more like a secret place for imprisoning prisoners or storing items.
"This is it." The female guard took Xi Nian not into the center of the building, but stopped at the side of the corridor. As she pushed on the brick, a secret door hidden in the wall slowly opened, and countless loose dust fell down.
"Ahem."
The female guard and Xi Nian coughed for a while, and when the dust settled, a faint blue hanging lamp on the high wall of the inner room behind the secret door lit up automatically.
Look inside along the light.
Inside was a small, square room, less than 20 square meters. There was a weapon rack and two simple beds, but nothing else.
The corners of Xi Nian's mouth twitched slightly. The small dark room was fine, but the weapon rack and the bed were covered with thick dust. It had been unknown how long since anyone had lived there.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll help you clean." The female guard waved away the dust in the room and said apologetically, "This room was prepared when this building was designed for the guards who would stand guard here late at night. However, most of the guards stationed here later withdrew, so it has been vacant and uncleaned ever since."
"Guard? Guard what?" Xi Nian was a little confused. Could they have set up a detention center for him to live in? Or were they simply treating him like a criminal and locking him up like a detainee?
"It's just an item." The female guard said as she packed up. "It's in the deepest part of this building, but it's nothing to look at. I've been guarding it for about ten years, and before me, we Amazons had been guarding it for thousands of years."
"Can you let me live in such an important place?" Xi Nian became more and more nervous. It needed to be closely guarded for a thousand years. No one would believe that there was no problem here!
"It's nothing. As long as it doesn't leave here, it's fine. It hasn't shown any abnormalities in the past thousand years, so don't worry." The female guard shrugged and said, "Besides, you are the monarch of that country. It's unbearable for such a noble person to live here."
"Wait." Xi Nian raised his eyebrows: "Lord, what do you mean?"
The female guard was also puzzled and pointed at the crown he was wearing: "Isn't that Princess Diana?"
"That's right." Xi Nian nodded.
"That's correct," the female guard confirmed, then said solemnly, "We Amazons are born with a crown. The royal family wears a diadem, and the warriors wear a tiara. It's a symbol of our lifelong identity and honor."
"Then this crown should be worn on my head now..." Xi Nian opened his eyes wide after realizing it belatedly.
"It means that she has given you her honor, her status, everything that is most valuable. You are her ruler. We share honor and disgrace, and we advance and retreat on the same footing!"
At this point, the female guard sighed and stared at Xi Nian through the slit in her helmet. "I don't know why that princess chose a human like you as her significant other. Of course, that's not something I can judge. I can only respect her choice."
Xi Nian was silent.
He was not surprised, but felt that the crown on his head was heavy and suffocating.
Aunt Diana naturally couldn't choose him as her other half.
This was probably just like how he had deliberately called his aunt his "little girlfriend" before, just to deal with the flirtations, just to give him a more legitimate identity to stay on Paradise Island.
But.
An independent, intelligent, beautiful, powerful, and perfect woman like Aunt Diana made a proud and noble god like her, like an accessory, declare that she would put everything she represented on him.
Even Xi Nian felt that the price was not worth it for his aunt!
