System's POV

A frown appeared on Arthur's face as he glanced at Zion, waiting for his reaction.

The old man was certain his no-good grandson would show a violent reaction, knowing how overprotective he was when it came to his family members.

Prince Aurelion also paid close attention to the young man, waiting for his reaction.

In truth, although Shasha was indeed beautiful, she paled in comparison to Zia.

Knowing Zion had no plans on becoming a lady again, he deliberately said those words to smite the other.

"I plan to play matchmaker between Shasha and Azrael," Thirteen stated. "As for Remi, she said she would marry me when she was only four years old. Because of that, I have no intention of letting her marry anyone else."

Arthur and Hans almost choked on their saliva. It was very obvious that Thirteen was simply talking nonsense.

How could someone take a four-year-old's words seriously, especially when she was his little sister?!

Indeed, Thirteen was just spouting bullsh*t, but this was the only way to make sure that his sisters wouldn't become Prince Aurelion's target just because he wanted to get back at him for masquerading as Zia in the past.

"I have a better proposal," Thirteen said. "Why don't Princess Fiora marry my right-hand man, Cristopher? Although he wasn't born as a noble in this world, he's still my second-in-command. I hold him in high regard and respect his opinion."

Princess Fiora glanced at her brother, who had a faint smile on his face.

She didn't have a problem with this arrangement since she was also very interested in Cristopher.

But Prince Aurelion had no intention of letting his sister marry someone that was beneath her rank, even if Zion were to say that the young man was his second-in-command.

"It seems that we agree to disagree," Prince Aurelion commented. "This is a problem."

Although Cranky was a Celestial, Prince Aurelion didn't show any fear or anxiety on his face.

The reason for this was due to the fact that the Dragonkin had led the Vanguard of the Jinns to fight against the Artemians.

If Zion were to suddenly eliminate him for whatever reason, it wouldn't sit well with the Jinns who had participated in the war.

Sure, they might be no match for Cranky.

But even if that was true, the world of Gomorra had its Fiends, and the Dragon Emperor was one of the strongest Fiends in existence.

Since a Celestial was now present in Pangea, it was only a matter of time before other Celestials could enter their world.

Even if he died, Prince Aurelion would have his revenge and wait for Thirteen in hell.

A sudden tension descended inside the meeting room as Prince Aurelion and Zion held each other's gaze.

"Let me get this straight," Thirteen said. "What you want isn't my sisters but me, right?"

"Right," Prince Aurelion replied with a smile.

"I have no intention of becoming a girl again."

"I know."

Thirteen eyed the Dragonkin Prince and lightly tapped the table with his fingertips.

"Okay, then we won't ally with the Dragonkin," Thirteen stated. "As for the other members of the Jinn Royalty, they are free to approach the other families, including the Leventis Family for marriage partners.

"Although my sisters are not available, I believe I have cousins of marriageable age. My grandfather here will handle the negotiations."

Prince Xylen seemed to be quite interested in becoming a family with Thirteen, even if the marriage would be through his cousins.

The other Jinns also thought that this was a good opportunity to form a solid connection with the Wanderers.

Not all Jinns were monstrous creatures like the Succubus and the Dragonkins.

Aside from their horns and tails, they looked very much like humans.

Even the Skavari could take demihuman forms like Prince Zorren if they wanted to.

Although it might seem impossible at first, there had already been instances in Solterra when such matchings had been made in the past.

Siri was the perfect example of this since she was half-Wanderer, half-Jinn.

"Hey, are you disregarding us Dragonkins?" Prince Aurelion growled.

"Of course not," Thirteen replied. "You can also marry anyone you like, except my sisters, as well as the daughters of Sir Lawrence. The Dragonkin might be the strongest faction of the Jinns, but they are not the only faction.

"I think you're forgetting something. They only followed your command because they had no choice back then. But now, things are different. The war is over, and they are recognized as one of the leaders that will build their own territories here in Cygni.

"As such, they are under my protection. So, if you try to harass them in any way, I'll ask Camazotz here to take you to a place where you will never be seen or heard from again."

The threat in Thirteen's voice was very obvious, and he made sure that everyone present in the meeting knew how serious he was.

Princess Fiora was now starting to feel anxious for her brother, who was eyeing Thirteen as if he wanted to eat him alive.

But the Prince reined in his emotions and regained his calm.

He knew that the teenage boy was right.

The Dragonkins might be strong because they had a Majin Prince and a Majin Princess among their ranks.

But they were not the strongest Jinn Faction in the continent.

Camazotz was stronger than Prince Aurelion and Princess Fiora.

Zapar was also a variable among the Jinns.

Since both of them were allies, they could be considered as a single faction, surpassing the forces that the Dragonkin have under their banner.

One by one, the issues that had piled up since Thirteen was in a coma were brought up, and the teenage boy gave his opinions about the matter.

What the Jinns truly wanted was security and the freedom to build their new territories in peace, which Thirteen had promised to protect.

"I have a question," Prince Valen of House Pavareth, Princess Aracelle's brother, spoke up. "I know that you have Lord Azrael to help you, but he alone will not be enough to help you conquer the world of Artem. Are you planning to go there with only the Leventis Family backing you up?"

Since Zion was now engaged to his sister, he now considered him his brother-in-law.

The Leventis Family was currently the strongest faction in Pangea, giving House Pavareth a secure footing in the world.

Of course, he wasn't aware that Lady Ristella, who was Princess Xynalia's and Princess Laventia's Aunt, was also pushing the eldest succubus princess to become Thirteen's fiancee as well.

This would earn the Kingdom of Velmoria, which always sought to be neutral, a strong backer that would allow them to keep their neutrality.

"I plan to recruit an army before heading to Artem," Thirteen answered.

"And where will that army come from?" the Monarch of Cygni, Douglas Griffin, asked.

"I'll recruit them from the North," Thirteen answered.

At first, the Wanderers thought that the teenage boy was talking about the North of the Cygni Continent.

But when they understood what he was hinting at, all of them looked at him as if he were some kind of messiah.

The North that Thirteen was talking about was the Antares Continent.

The first continent that fell into the hands of the Jinns hundreds of years ago.
