As I read the information provided by the Academy staff about Alice, I couldn't believe my luck. She seemed like the protagonist of a lucky plot or someone with incredible plot armor. A commoner with exceptional talent, a top student at the Academy, cute, chubby, and outgoing personality – she was practically an ideal wife material for me. Finding someone like her didn't take much time at all.
I instructed the Academy staff to inform Alice that I wanted to meet her. As I waited, I checked her assessment on the system:
Alice
Charm: 8 points
Appearance: 8 points
Intelligence: 8 points
Talent: 8 points
Bloodline: 8 points
Her scores were not exceptional, but they were decent. I was just glad to have found someone suitable for marriage. The system didn't provide me with her bloodline details until after we were married, but that was a risk I was willing to take.
When I heard a knock on my door, I eagerly welcomed Alice in. She had a cute and innocent face, with dimples showing when she smiled. I couldn't help but be captivated by her charm. I commented on her talent and how compatible we seemed, though I knew I was stretching the truth. She was already a tier 3 mage and warrior, just like me. I desperately wanted to know her bloodline, but I had to wait until we were married for the system to reveal that information.
Alice seemed blessed and taken aback by my compliments. As the conversation continued, I laid out my proposal to her. I explained that I wanted to marry her, but I wanted to make sure she had no interest in power or becoming a queen. I made it clear that I sought a comfortable and peaceful life with her. After all, I didn't want to deal with the dirty politics of the noble and Dragonheart families.
In Alice's point of view, she had just returned from the arena when she was informed that the third Royal Highness wanted to meet her. She was surprised, knowing that Maxwell was considered the most talented individual in the royal family, with a first-rate bloodline born in a normal family. When she met him, she found him to be handsome and charming, like a Prince Charming from her dreams.
Alice was taken aback when Maxwell assessed her and complimented her. She couldn't understand why he would do a background check on her, but she knew that being married to a royal Prince would make her life easier, as she didn't want to be involved in the dirty politics of noble families.
Maxwell's proposal surprised her, as he was straightforward and lacked any romantic gestures. However, she realized that being married to him would be advantageous, as he wasn't the Crown Prince and had no interest in the throne. She agreed to his proposal, knowing it would lead to a simpler and more comfortable life.
Presently, when Maxwell heard Alice's agreement, he was surprised at how smoothly things had gone. He hadn't expected her to accept so readily, but he was relieved that the process of getting married was now underway. Maxwell assured Alice that they would get married in the next week or so without any grandiose celebrations involving nobles or other family members. He wanted their wedding to be a private affair, free from any unnecessary complications.
Overall, the situation seemed to be moving in the right direction, and Maxwell couldn't help but feel grateful for his stroke of luck in finding Alice as his potential partner. With the prospect of getting married soon, he hoped that the system would activate and guide him on his journey to unlock his true potential.
