The Goblin's Leveling System!

Chapter 34: Side Story: Aerin's Engagement

[Eleven Continent, Kingdom Of Sylmys, Inside The Palace]

[Aerin's PoV:]

I am in my bedroom while lying in my bed. I felt tired from learning etiquette and at the same time improving my magic skills.

What's worse is that my parents, the Elf King and Queen have decided to bestow me the role of becoming the Elven kingdom's hero which I am opposed to. I find it troublesome because of the responsibility the title holds.

I can manage to be a hero but to battle, the demon lord is another thing. I don't have any confidence in lasting against the attacks of an archdemon let alone the demon lord.

Even though I'm granted with 2 God Rank skills, they are rendered useless against the demon lords who have plenty of God Rank skills in their arsenals.

I wouldn't even be surprised if they have a Beyond God Rank skill which is hard to obtain.

I only have been blessed by two Gods: The God of Archery and the God of Judgement.

I wished I was blessed by the God who governs the world balance, the one who invented the worldly system which balanced the world. He is known as the God of Systems.

As far as I remembered, he ranks third in the God rankings in the Heaven Realm since the God of Creations ranks first while the God of Destruction ranks second.

The reason why he ranks third is that he is the one who balanced Creation and destruction which led to the implementation of the cycle of life.

The blessings he grants are unfathomable in terms of power yet it has a lot of the cost to be able to use it.

But those who can successfully obtain and use the God of Systems' blessings are beings who have a lot of potentials and can easily defeat the demon lord if given the time to train and gain experience.

Unfortunately, I wasn't strong enough to obtain such a blessing but was still fortunate to obtain the blessings of two Gods which is still considered to be rare.

I'm tired as heck right now and I am becoming drowsy but a loud knock on the door of my bedroom made me snap out of my drowsiness.

"Your highness! His Majesty asks for an audience with you and it is very urgent. It is an utmost priority since the fate of our kingdom depends on it!"

A voice of a man said in a hurried and worried tone while knocking on the door.

I still want to take a rest and better yet sleep since my princess duties are stressing me.

But it seems that I can't even take a break. Damn those demons!

I got off my bed and opened the door and went outside.

I walk towards the throne room since it's where my father is staying whenever he meets visitors from other kingdoms.

I have arrived at the throne room and I saw that my father is currently wearing a green robe with gold markings and a golden crown with a red gem on his head.

"Aerin, you should know why I asked you to be here?"

"I do not know why father. Mind telling me?"

"The situation of our kingdom is becoming hard to control. Even though we don't have any rebels in our kingdom, our soldiers lack combat experience so some of them perish whenever they defend the kingdom from the demon armies."

The Elf King said while opening a scroll and reading the contents of it.

"How old are you, Aerin?"

"I have turned 176 a month ago."

"The only way to solve the problem of our kingdom is by having an alliance with another kingdom. That is joining forces by marriage."

The Elf King said while sighing. He looks rather worried and stressed and his face shows that he also doesn't want my marriage to happen this early but he is left with no choice.

"Who should I marry, father?"

"I have several candidates for you to choose from but I'm hesitant since, despite the force of their kingdom, the personalities of the princes from those kingdoms are not that likable. Some of them are even infamous for being playboys."

"I decided to marry you off any heroes that are summoned since they will have the backing of different kingdoms. Some of them might even have likable personalities. In this way, I can let you choose who you want to marry among the heroes."

I don't oppose the idea since I can have the freedom on who I can choose to become my husband. But I never would have thought that I'll be engaged this early.

I'm only 176 and most of the Elfs are married at the age of 200.

"I agree, father. But will there be anyone who will even take a liking to me? I'm rather dull and boring so they might not take interest in me."

I said while being discouraged. I knew that I'm not suitable for becoming someone's girlfriend yet let alone being a wife.

"You don't have to worry about that. As I said before, men are beasts. As long as a girl has a beautiful face and big boobs they will surely be marriageable. You have both so I'm sure some of the heroes will take a liking of you."

"It is also possible to be liked by a gentleman who has the same personality as you but the chances are low."

The Elf King said while standing, walking towards me, and patting my shoulder.

"With your God Rank skill, you should be able to find a hero who is suitable for you."

The Elf King spoke and left the throne room while followed by his guards.

I ponder about the thought of being married to someone. I haven't even had the desire to be with someone yet except for my parents.

Now it seems to me that my fate is sealed. I have no choice but to find myself a husband.

********

[Several Days Later]

I am now inside my bedroom while sitting beside the window, taking a glance outside since I'm waiting for the heroes to arrive.

********

[An Hour Later]

A beastman is half-human and a half-wolf who has long silver hair while she is currently holding her two daggers is now entering the kingdom with her companions.

A beastman in half human half lion, a goblin with short black hair while the other goblin has short silver hair and lastly the human hero who has pitch black hair and staring at him even gives me an ominous feeling.

Wait... the human hero seems to be taking a glance at me.

Did he notice that I was taking a peek at them? It certainly isn't possible! I am at least several kilometers away from them.

I took a glance at the heroes again and they were teleported and so was I.

********

[Sylmys, Inside The Palace, Throne Room]

I am now sitting on my throne while the heroes from before are now near the entrance of the throne room.

I stood up and took a bow towards the heroes.

"My name is Aerin Zelfina Sylmys! I am the Elven hero of Sylmys!"

"Are you all heroes? You look weak especially your human heroes who only have an average of level 100. You mere commoners can't even defeat a Demon soldier with your strength!", I said with a cold tone, belittling them. I sounded like someone who has authority.

"You are right! They are all commoners who are not worth mentioning! Unlike me who was born as a genius that can defeat any enemy in one blow!", The Goblin hero with short silver hair said with an arrogant tone.

All of the heroes including his teammates are surprised by the Goblin hero's arrogance not to mention that he is in front of the Elf King and Queen and also including me.

I should put a stop to his arrogance.

"There is always someone who loves to court death. Does a mere goblin hero dare to be arrogant in front of me? I dare you to accept my challenge and defeat the level 3000 mystic forest guardian!"

"What's in it for me?", He asked, waiting to reap some rewards.

"My parents are finding me a suitable fiancee then I will offer you the reward of engaging me as your future bride!", I said.

"Are you sure? You might break your words.", He asked for confirmation.

Looks like this mere Goblin doesn't even believe me! How outrageous!

"I Aerin Zelfina Sylmys never breaks my words.", I said.

He took out the remains of the level 3000 mystic forest guardian out of thin air. He must've used space magic.

I didn't expect he was this capable to even freely use space magic like it was nothing. He doesn't even seem to feel tired after casting it.

"You mean this pile of rubble? This statue can't even take one of my blows.", He said with arrogance.

"Looks like you are my fiancee from now on!"

And so I have no choice but to agree.

I used my God Rank skill, Eye Of Judgement and it told me that he doesn't show any lecherous intentions towards me. The only acknowledgment of my appearance and his arrogance is present.

It isn't so bad after all.
